Podcast 209 - Live from the limo

Jonny and Richard have collected the Eagle and are sitting in it as they speak. Also in this episode, washing horses, the campaign to get rid of beards, doing work experience with the Red Arrows, monocoque animals, interesting cars in Jonny’s neighbourhood, bleak Fenland houses, the demise of the guard’s van, a railway waiting room horror story, Brazilian trucks explained, ergonomic Danish cutlery, too many sunglasses being worn indoors in Top Gear, and the extremely varied stock of the second hand car dealer that sold this podcast its new limousine.

SHOW NOTES: This week's show notes will be along after the bank holiday weekend when we'll also get around to sorting the Patreon price change that was supposed to come into effect last Wednesday. More news on that shortly...

Mine isn't hiding my double chin these days just slightly obscuring it in the right light!

Nigel Hancock

Everyone should experience a freshly shaved head for the first time. I still remember the day, such liberation, such smoothness. I couldn’t stop stroking my bonce. Then the first stubble came, so satisfying. (I’m still talking about shaving my head for first time by the way).

David McNelis

As you departed Peterborough I wonder if you saw the remains of the hovertrain? We were passing through on Sunday and while idly looking out the window saw this Thunderbirds reject on an elevated section of track.

Maurice Barnes

I rushed to Patreon hoping for a look at the Danish Ergonomic Flatware...

Kevin Perham

THE BEST COLOUR. Being as you saw one from the train: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196379092267?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=XkxM5iPFTQO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=gqPNt7C3Q6i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Beardless people seem to think we are in a beard phase now, but beards are the norm throughout history. Its actually being clean shaven that was a short fad.

S Carter

As for the Red Arrows being in cars instead of planes to save money...., I was once taken to a country fair, where 9 blokes in red boiler suits did formation wheelbarrowing (also red). Yes, they were the Red Barrows.

Dave Carter

As Jonny is now single and will no doubt be considering a dating app, wil he be putting his profile pic where he is Woolarding on the Eagle Quest?

Dave Carter

Good heavens!

Fergus McIver

Having been prevented from growing a beard for the last 20 something years (army) until they changed the rules this Easter, I'm enjoying the beard, if only for novelty value for a while yet!

Jonny said he’s a single dad now … missed that …

Mark Richards

Or the W Motors Lykan Hypersport, a Lebanese made (yes really) sports car https://wmotors.ae/lykan-hypersport.html

Vincent Grey

Jonny's thinking of Lycanthrope in his lichen/lichen debate, lycanthrope being a werewolf

Vincent Grey

I won't add anything to the whole hair subject for obvious reasons. :-) However I should point out I was kicked off the American football team because of the two times I played I put 2 opposing players (one per game) in the hospital with concussions... So maybe I am "buff"...?

Andy Pinchock

speaking of lichen cars, i spotted this Isuzu trooper today. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395385249484?mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l1120&ch=osgood&euid=8ede85c8a64345fcab27c5153772e048&bu=43024682157&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20240506020254&segname=11021

I can't shave my beard, it's in the prenup! also I'm bald AF and not particularly fit or have broad shoulders, so it's my only adult like feature!

Jack Morton

Sorry chaps, I cant lose the beard… its hiding the double chin

The top coach helmsmen have an annual competition at Blackpool each year, where they go through their elite reverse parking and up selling of day excursion programmes. https://coachdisplays.co.uk/. It's less about aviators and more about manscaping and waistcoats.

John Hammond

The drunkest eBay purchase 2 sober men ever made

we have air cooled 911 cutlery - the 180 from lounge to kitchen has to be taken slow in fast out or a butter knife will launch itself into the scenery (hall).

Jim Galbraith

Another fantastic episode of Britain's biggest Car Men's Facial Hair Grooming Horse Detailing Coach Helmsman Danish Spoon Ergonomics Podcast that also deals with incidents on Peterborough Station where appropriate.

Brendan McAleer

The little guards vans on freight trains were referred to as 'brake vans' and the primary function was for the guard to assist the drivers with braking on freight trains, which until the end of the 1960s were otherwise heavily reliant on just the engine for braking effort. Brake vans became redundant with the increase in braked freight wagons and automation of railway equipment.

John Hammond

Freight trains don't have guards Vans anymore

fred bloggs

Still the only Car Podcast to listen to every week on a Sunday night. Also good for general life style views for gents of a certain age!

Steve Morton

The moments of realization on the podcast scare me that one day Jonny and Rich will question why they do it and stop. My Monday mornings will be ruined and I'll have to work in silence.
