Show notes 206
Added 2024-04-14 17:01:01 +0000 UTCIn pics this week we start with three flutes and a chaotic hotel room recording set-up followed by proof that Greg had his shoes on Richard’s bed. Then we have a very Smith and Sniff car spotted at the Members’ Meeting, the sweet, sweet Alpine A110, a Renault handbook wallet being sold as a clutch bag, the Toyota Carina E, and a disproportionate amount of pictures involving Ian Botham and SAABs. Finally, we have Picasso in a gullwing SL, the Toyota WiLL Vi, Paul Walker’s orange Supra, and a Fast and Furious ‘90s sunglasses masterclass. Now some links…
Get up at 4:58am and do press-ups to this

2024-04-20 14:12:11 +0000 UTCBeagle Quest, you are Johny Darwin and I claim my $5
Barry
2024-04-19 21:53:55 +0000 UTCI got fed an update on Ian Botham tours. Feckin listening devices overhearing you 3 wax lyrical about him!
Paul Bolton
2024-04-19 12:28:33 +0000 UTCdisappointing lack of EagleQuest updates. However I may have found something better. The Bedford "Cruise-O-Van", as once owned by Sir Sterling of Moss (apparently, otsot) https://www.facebook.com/share/p/FQg7EoJDFwHVKXWz/

2024-04-19 10:21:07 +0000 UTCThis episode was utter chaos. My favourite episode to date

2024-04-18 19:17:19 +0000 UTCThis made me howl so much I finally got round to signing up. More pissed up podcasts please. :)

2024-04-18 13:13:37 +0000 UTCNo grainy ‘Bum Tricks’ photograph?
Ollie Horsley
2024-04-18 06:52:34 +0000 UTCYou bastards. I've just been loading the van with our delivery driver and I was giggling like a twat the whole bloody time. Largely due to an item called a "Crack Tell-Tale Monitoring Gauge". All I could think of was bum tricks. I'll e-mail the photos of the item listing, which on our parts system is listed right under another favourite product of that flute Jonny, plus a section of the pamphlet that came with said monitoring gauges. Hilarious podcast, by the way.
Paul Renowden
2024-04-17 09:18:06 +0000 UTCAfter that, you could pop over to Castell Gala Dalí in Púbol, where his Cadillac is stored, as well as the orange Datsun Bluebird estate that he was given by Nissan: https://jalopnik.com/salvador-dali-once-painted-a-portrait-of-a-datsun-610-w-1842909664
Mark Gould
2024-04-17 06:15:28 +0000 UTCA good racing mum contender would be Jodie Kidd, racing acumen, and notably tall to minimise seat adjustment requirements.
Lewis Warren
2024-04-16 16:58:12 +0000 UTCCould cap the race at 2000cc as that was a major company tax car threshold hence Saab 2.0 Turbos, 520i etc. if not don't forget Xedeos 6, Gallant VR4, 850, Accord V6, Camry... oh heady days
Cornish Rider
2024-04-16 16:42:47 +0000 UTCThis podcast sounds like a shite house party! Fantastic!
HAP
2024-04-16 10:23:13 +0000 UTCGuys, guys, you really need to go to the Dali museum - the Rainy Taxi centrepiece is worth a visit alone https://thedali.org/ Although the rest of it is simply incredible, too

Marc
2024-04-16 07:05:31 +0000 UTCIn my head, Dads are in their bin shoes and smoking a pipe. Mums are in a massive rush because they’ve had to make the kids packed lunches and tidy up all the crap in the hallway, so they’re in their fluffy slippers and have to do their makeup on the car on the first lap
Marc
2024-04-16 07:02:19 +0000 UTCyou do know about Driving Force from the 80s right? Because you pretty much described a new series of Driving Force. Get it pitched ASAP, I reckon Channel 5 would eat it up!
Helen Morris
2024-04-15 20:34:13 +0000 UTCJust as funny as I suspected, Jonny the next Renault barn find you go you have to invite Greg. Also I could listen to Mr James chat absolute nonsense about his love for Renaults all day.
George Wade
2024-04-15 19:30:12 +0000 UTCI'm only 5 minutes in and I've already had to pause to let the overboost blow down a bit. This is shaping up to be a cracking episode.
Ben
2024-04-15 19:17:45 +0000 UTCThis was a hilarious episode but utter shambolic nonsense which strays perilously close to Derek and Clive. You guys better pray no-one at all from Goodwood was listening, let alone anyone 'high up'. Greg was a great guest, though.
Alexander Clement
2024-04-15 18:05:36 +0000 UTCTwo things about Show Notes 206. If Greg James grew a bigger beard, he might recreate the Botham shot ( sunroof / gun turret on alpine road) The Picasso SL image. Hoping the car had column shift rather than four on the (pelvic) floor. :-|
Rob Stannard
2024-04-15 15:38:59 +0000 UTCThe podcast reminds me of when Oliver Reed went on Aspel in 1980's. Thank goodness everyone kept their trousers on.
Glenn Chalmers
2024-04-15 14:57:32 +0000 UTCgot me twitching too...
Zoona
2024-04-15 13:47:37 +0000 UTCI feel the need to churlishly chastise Greg for referring to "A fully blacked out Range". As Richard has previously mentioned when not full of sauce, a range is "A fucking oven, not a car". But am not gonna do that, he seems too pleasant to chastise!
Snowy
2024-04-15 13:05:53 +0000 UTCGreg James, BBC Radio 1 breakfast show host and seemingly all round nice chap as well as a car guy. However...
Snowy
2024-04-15 13:04:01 +0000 UTCNot being funny but, who is the Greg bloke?
Adrian J
2024-04-15 10:53:56 +0000 UTCI tried driving a volvo 960 with some spirit (as an 18 year old). Handling wasn't the best. It could handle the kerbs okay because you won't feel them and it would pitch and roll like a good one. It would certainly have the momentum for some bumper rubbing
Robin White
2024-04-15 09:00:18 +0000 UTCHere is the executive race video you are seeking for but mostly 80's saloons https://youtu.be/aysUto0dLPI?si=t-iRBlOqCbl7n0bW

2024-04-15 08:19:52 +0000 UTCWhat a load of crap!! I love it
fred bloggs
2024-04-15 08:19:25 +0000 UTCMy dad did a track day at Goodwood (before it was spruced up) in his 827si, so that's a good choice
Bruce Driffill
2024-04-15 07:07:13 +0000 UTCAmazed the didn’t get a knock on the door to tell them to break it up.
Robin White
2024-04-15 05:10:27 +0000 UTCI can feel the hangover from here.
Robin White
2024-04-15 05:08:50 +0000 UTCThis was a lot of fun to listen to with Greg with you guys. Oi, cheers.
Tanner Lee Robert Milne
2024-04-15 02:33:13 +0000 UTCThat Picasso Toyota was a collaboration between Toyota and the Japanese telecom company. To me, it looks like a Ford Anglia got off with an early 2CV - had a one night stand and didn’t use protection.
Sean O'Neill
2024-04-15 01:56:39 +0000 UTCNeed the clip of Jonny doing wine fueled press-ups.
Robin Johnsen
2024-04-14 23:21:02 +0000 UTCI'm more shocked by that mess of cables on the desk, than the shoes on the bed!

Adam
2024-04-14 19:35:11 +0000 UTCWhat a sweet sweet Alpine A110, only modern car that could tempt me out of the GR Yaris.
Ryan Beveridge
2024-04-14 19:05:43 +0000 UTCI'm often blurry after a few bevvies too.
Peter Heamon
2024-04-14 18:23:05 +0000 UTCAs Jonny will vouch, I went out of focus some time in the late afternoon. Richard
Smith and Sniff
2024-04-14 18:19:59 +0000 UTCRichard is quite blurry in that photo, is that a trick of the camera or a true representation.
Graham Dallas
2024-04-14 18:17:01 +0000 UTCIt's a bag of Werthers Originals in a sanitary bag and a squashed pork pie away from a Partridge scene.

2024-04-14 17:49:22 +0000 UTCOoops, sorry, fixed now.

Vincent Grey
2024-04-14 17:09:01 +0000 UTCAlso that YouTube link is fully broken (the wake up one)
