Just Going For A Drive

Season 4, Ep. 2 - SPIDERS!! AAAAHHH!! plus driving talk

You ever have those dreams where a spider jumps at you from the sun-visor and you scream and scream and scream and cause so much carnage that your neighbours' insurance premiums go up? Yes? With a chortling insurance lady? Right? Just me? Join Nick and a surprisingly high-voiced Sam as they talk surprises, how to 'nuke it from orbit', and what it was, and is like to have your P-plates at last. Plus car shopping, the solution to electric vehicles, and how to get your lightly muddy shoes on the Alcantara dashboards of your local super cars. It's a real solution, and you'll find out on this episode of ... Just Going For A Driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvve ... Insta: @justgoingforadrive ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Season 4, Ep. 1 - Top Gear Special Special

The show that started it all for so, so many people. The hosts, the cars, the stories and, yes, the legends, that made you feel like you were one of the gang, there for the ride, and in on the joke. That's right, people: Just Going For A Drive is BACK! And we are kicking off Season 4 with a classic misdirect episode description which also ties us straight to the enigma of Top Gear. We don't even need to clarify which version, because, at the end of it all, there is only one. We hope you enjoy. And welcome to our fourth year of doing this crazy thing. We're glad to have you.

Season 3, Ep. 10 - Xmas, Parking and The Wave

WHAT are these people doing? They've carefully (SO carefully) stowed their shopping, tucked little Baby On Board into the cryocapsule, turned the car on, and put it in reverse. Now they're not moving. Those white lights tell the world that they're ready to back over some slow-moving fellow shoppers, but nothing is happening. YOU have been blocking up Xmas car park traffic for seven straight minutes now. The queue stretches well past the boomgate. A fellow car park shopper is fogging your back window with their meaty breath, unwilling to defy the laws of indicator-means-my-park, but Jesus Mary Joseph and at least four camels: WHY won't they move?? Are they on a call? Having a stroke? Reading a book? Listening to their favourite car-based podcast? Nick and Sam answer all these questions and many more, including a deep dive into The Wave. That little flag which tells fellow motorists: I am a human. Please, do not kill me.

Season 3, Ep. 9 - Car Smells, Car History, Cars in The Hood

DO YOU SMELL THAT? DO. YOU. SMELL THAT?? That, my friends, is the odour of victory. Just as the winners write the history books, so do they hang little pine trees (or scented rappers' faces) around the rearview mirrors of the cars made by the losers. Because those losers of wars build some amazing cars. And those cars start to, you know, take on a bit of their own distinctive musk. Nothing pungent, but definitely evocative. Join Nick and Sam as they guide you by the nose around the crumbling foam and gently heated plastics of yesteryear's classics. And, speaking of classics, we give the update on the legends of our neighbourhood. You might recognise your own ride!

Season 3, Ep. 8 Sex in cars and Dead Batteries

It's been a while since something like this has happened - I swear! Normally, we just go for a quickie to fill in the need and make a big effort later on when bloody work isn't so busy, and we all know what that's like, right? Talking about podcasting here. Trying the clever little switcharoo to cover up for a particularly dry dry-spell, and we are certainly not above including the word "sex" in the episode title to vacuum in a little more interest. But do we actually talk about sex in cars? Do we ever! Eventually. After a lot of build up. And if that doesn't get you going, how about this: The Next Great Economic Crash! Nick and Sam have stumbled upon the a horrible truth about electric that no one is prepared for, just like Christian Bale in that movie where he's the only economist in America to predict the GFC. You know the one: Batman! Listen in. Listen out. Listen during. Insta: @justgoingforadrive [https://www.instagram.com/justgoingforadrive/] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
