What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello and welcome to the Car Podcast with Chris Harris and people he still calls friends.
Marginal.
There's been some quite spiky interactions before this. Cooper's put something in his tea and he's on one, so watch out for him during this because he's got a bit of a habit of telling jokes around the Third Reich that he finds hilarious. Some of us don't.
That's a joke about a cat.
What interesting car news did the hosts share this week?
No, it's not about a cat.
It was actually really funny. I thought it was fake.
It's about the bloke you said a cat looks like. Anyhow, I'm now going to start off with a factoid. Actually, I'm going to start off with something better than that. I'm going to ask you, my learned Luddites, whether you can answer a question, and the answer to which reveals a factoid. It's amazing how this podcast develops. Here we go. It's 1953, and Daimler has just launched its new small saloon. It's called its new vehicle the Conquest. Why?
Everest.
What fun quiz did Neil introduce about biscuits and cars?
Yeah. Could be that. Yeah, could be that.
This is the most British thing you've ever heard. The car was priced, before taxes, at £10.66. £10.66. So they called it...
That's when the bloke got the arrow in the eye.
How do the hosts feel about car magazines and their relevance?
King Harold, yes. King Harold. Can you imagine? They could have called it the Norman. Can you imagine? They could have called it the Norman.
They could have called it the... They could have called it the battle, Hastings. Yes.
Yes.
They could have called it the bio. The Daimler battle. I'd have bought a Daimler battle.
Yeah, I think that sounds good.
And actually, it wasn't the conquest of Everest, technically. It was a British-led expedition, but it was a New Zealander and a Nepalese.
Edmund Hillary, yes. Is there any way in Tenzing Sherpa?
Why always me? Well, who's the footballer that had that T-shirt? Was it Balotelli? Yes. Why always me?
What are the best and worst petrol caps mentioned?
Well, there's a clue in that.
Right. Here we go.
Here we go. What have we done in cars this week? Forward slash good news. Because Neil Clifford is our ray of positivity, which I'm now going to ruin after he's been positive. Neil, you can go first with your positive news.
Well, I'm going to leave Chris Cooper to talk about the howl. It's fair to say...
What insights were shared about the recent F1 race?
It was very good. Very wet, but very good. It was better than it was wetter. And it was quite wet. I'll let you do that. I've got a lot of good news. One is there's an amazing looking Audi that looks like a cat. Hopefully, maybe some people get that joke. No, I like the new Audi.
What exciting updates were discussed about the 2CG event?
We did talk about this at our little live podcast. But, okay, it looks a little bit like a Lamborghini at the back. But, you know, you've got to get the good news. Oh, what's that?
That's a picture of me with my head between Jordan's legs.
I did think it was Jordan.
Yeah. Yeah.
Is that with Hugo Andre and Haynes?
That's a few weeks ago, that, isn't it?
I don't know.
What music recommendations did the hosts make?
Was that before Driver's Republic?
Yeah, well before. That was before. I wouldn't know what a republic was then. Yeah. So I think... I knew what a fish supper was, though. Carry on.
You know what? I think we are at the tipping point or the fulcrum. Maybe it's not a fulcrum. That's just in the middle of a... Something else, isn't it? Fulcrum. I think there's good news ahead. I think all the manufacturers are going to make loads of really good cars again. Because everyone's decided and figured out that if you make shit cars, nobody buys them. Yeah. So I think we're going to see lots of really good cars, including the Audi that looks like a cat with a Lamborghini back. But it's got a V8, and we should all celebrate that manufacturers have decided they're not just going to make electric cars, which, of course, are also very good because we can't be too negative here. But cars with engines are also very, very good.
I also read, and my source of news – is mainly Autocar, because it's a great magazine. We're going to talk about magazines later. It's really, really good. There's a new Vauxhall. And I thought Vauxhall didn't really exist anymore because we never talk about Vauxhall. But, of course, Vauxhall, whether it be the 1930s where they were basically Bentley or the 1980s where they were just like really cool and Ford, if you wanted to be a bit less Ford but still as cool, they're making a new car.
