Sold as Seen

Andy tells us the uncomfortably fast truth of the Tesla Model S Plaid, after a recent track day in one. We then talk knowing nothing about supercars, and the dire state of the MOT system in Northern Ireland.

After a short summer holiday hiatus, we discuss Goodwood, the Caterham Project V and the upcoming Supercar Extravaganza charity event to support the NI Air Ambulance

The £65k Mk8 Golf-R 333, Andy's Yaris replacement, the Tesla Model S Plaid and Your Questions Answered.

In this, episode 26 of the Sold as Seen Podcast, we discuss the untimely passing of Waterford Rally man Craig Breen and the superb Dubshed car show. Andy regales the collection of his new Lotus Emira, and Ross dissects his M3 defeat at the hands of a Yaris on the drag strip.

We are joined by Anthony Hughes (Artoir on RMS) who has just returned from an epic trip to Ukraine to donate a Mitsubishi L200 to the front line. He talks us through his incredible journey, from idea through fundraising to actually making this audacious trip.   In other news Andy drives a Lotus, buys an EV and Gary lands an M4.

In this episode, Andy and Ross talk to Ben Lawrence (56 Oval), who with the backing of Straightliners will be timing a series of drag racing events here in NI. Despite living in the province for nearly two decades he hasn't lost a hint of his Essex accent, and we talk about his obsession with aircooled VWs, drag racing and how he relishes the challenge of getting on the tools of carbureted classics.

Local cops storm a Spar to avoid a Dacia Duster. Andy drives a Morgan Plus Four, a Maserati MC20 and had a Ferrari SF90 out on track, but really wants to drive an MG4. We talk 50 years of M cars. Gary orders an EV. And Ross has his shorter final drive fitted to his E46 M3.
