What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello and welcome to the Card Podcast with Chris Harris and his friends. I'm just cleaning what I call my money pennies. This is episode number 90. I've got no factoid for 1990 other than the fact that there was a World Cup then and we know It was the greatest one ever because it was organised by Luca Montezemolo. Yes.
What does it mean to be a traffic cop for a day?
There you go.
1990, also Senna did one of the great physical contact manoeuvres in the history of Formula One. At a mere 155 miles an hour in Turn 1 in Suzuka, Murray Walker and James Hunt slightly preceded it, but that didn't have me ready for the multiple angles that we saw of that accident at Bernie's beautiful little Aladdin's cave. And I have to say, massive Senna fan though I am, I would place that 100-0 Senna's shoulders.
I'm just hoping for episode 95 so we don't have to talk about fucking Senna again. Bloody hell. Here we go.
Too soon? Oh, my God. Neil, don't go to Brazil because you're dead. You are actually dead. This is an international podcast. Did you hear that, my fellow Brasileiros? Did you hear what he said?
What car is considered the best of the 90s?
I think we should also acknowledge the fact that the person that took the impact that day apparently was... was robbed in a rather horrible incident. So we send our best to Alan Pross, who I gather is recovering, who is one of our heroes.
He is, totally.
So let's move on. This is a very good one, this is. You're a traffic cop for the day.
What happens when you're locked out of your own car?
And I'm going to add, what do you do? So traffic cop for a day. What do you do? I'm going to hand this one to Chris Cooper because I think he's the most natural traffic cop type of the four of us. Because I can imagine he would, he'll never be thinking about placing his socks out, ironing his trousers, that kind of thing. So let's go to Chris. I'm a policeman Cooper.
You've got to the heart of how I thought about this question. Um, And when we were all little, I'm not sure you can say this these days, and there was a television programme on a Saturday evening that you could write into and ask for, fixed it for me, this is the kind of question that I'd have written in to say, could you fix it for me, please, to be in a police car with a policeman person being a traffic cop for the day? Because how much fun would that be? I thought you were going to say, can I sit on your lap? Is that a gear lever?
How would you design a new Ferrari?
Yeah. Is that a pencil? I don't know how we've descended so quickly. This is my suggestion as a question, because it did get to the heart of, there is definitely part of me that I know, despite all of my best instincts, would be looking at everyone and saying, oh, 72, go on, get him, get him. Oh, he's not on the right line. And I know there's the pedant in me, the OCD, whatever it is, there's sort of that slightly on the spectrum, but they're not agreeing to the rules. Slightly. Say again? You said slightly. Slightly. Okay, completely. Completely. Totally, without any reservation or compromise or mitigation.
Why is the 360CS worth more than the 2.7RS?
I think we all might be on that little line. There's parts of you who think, oh, I know how hard it is. you know, when there's people, but there's another part of me that even if people were being slightly naughty, you know, doing 80 in a 70 miles an hour, if they were driving well, you kind of want to acknowledge that. I mean, don't do this at home, everybody, but there's part of me if I was doing that. And I like to think that this still might be the case. If you drove really, really well, And you exhibited, you know, patience and consideration for other road users. But to quote Chris, your dear old mum, was going well. You still want to say, don't do it again. But just let me say, I thought you were going well there.
You just want to convey to another road user that Because if we were traffic cops today, we know we'd look about how people drive, drove, driven, rather than just are they speeding types and locking crims and up walls kind of things. So I think I'd be torn between. At the start of the day, I think I probably would be hypervigilant and hyper sort of, oh, I've got to get all of them. Oh, crikey, there's too many.
