What news and car stories do the hosts share at the episode intro?
Hello and welcome to the Car Podcast with ex-television presenter Chris Harris and his friends who are all much better at life than him. And that's why he hangs around with cleverer people than himself. First rule, always punch when it comes to social company. So, I'm here with my loaded friends. It is episode number 97. The nervous 90s continue. I'm not going to regale you with the story when Warnie asks for the commentator's curse not to be put upon one of his players, but we all know what happened. And also, let's face it, this is the year that Jacques won the world title, wasn't it? 97 was Villeneuve, wasn't it? It was.
It was also the highest paid year that Damon had in Formula One because he went off... How much did he earn? He got five million quid from Tom Walkinshaw for going to... Arrows. Arrows, but it was sponsored by, I think, Denso or something. It was absolutely hilarious. Zepter. Zepter.
Good memory.
What tyres was that car on, Manish? Oh, it was on the other ones, Bridgestones.
Yeah, early Bridgestones. Early Bridgestones. So I don't have the agenda to hand because I'm doing this on my telephone. So could Chris Harris, sorry, Chris Harris, Chris Cooper, please read out the first points on the agenda. I've been up since six. Sorry about that, people.
You need to take your antipsychotic medication a little bit more regularly, I think.
Yeah. What have you done in cars this week? Slash all good news.
Let's start with Neil Kiffin, who's not said a word yet.
No, I haven't. I'm in a very reflective mood. OK, we did a lovely little live podcast in Clapham, and I have to say, we were better than the time before. I thought we were. I thought we were. And so we thank everyone for coming along. It was jolly silly and ambitiously amateur, as Mr. Harris said. And well done to Finlay as well, because we had it all going on. It was highly tech-driven with car and classic website live behind us so we could read all the funny ads. It was all brilliant. I drove my 6.9 into London. It was 86.9, 1975, and green with green leather. And that was a bit of an experience. Fantastic car, super reliable. You say the air conditioning works just until you need it to. And then it sort of doesn't.
And then it beautifully gave up its dash lights on the way home.
So that was also a bit... When you sent us that photograph, I assumed you just pulled all the fuses out just to...
Yes. Well, obviously, my wife sent the photograph because I wouldn't do such a thing. But nevertheless, I had no dash lights. So that was all a bit strange.
Are you saying that Mrs Clifford was in London when we were at the podcast, but she didn't actually come to the podcast?
Absolutely. She said, darling, it will be the same. Do I have to come? It's like, you know, every other car event, Goodwood Revival, Festival of Speed. I don't have to come twice, do I? Even though I'm there to support you. Can I be my fallow year, like Glastonbury?
Yeah.
She's balled up for next year then, hasn't she? But then obviously she met me afterwards and we drove home together and she took a photograph of the dash lights, which were not. And then I went on to AutoCar, which is my lovely access of good news website. And I see Ford are coming back to Le Mans with a new V8 hypercar. So I thought that was quite exciting.
Yeah.
I didn't see that. Yeah, I think it was yesterday. You go into Autocar.co.uk and click News. You get something to talk about. It's really brilliant. And then, lastly, I thought the new Range Rover GT looked quite good. And I think, top secret, I think it's the same platform as the new Jaguar. No. Heaven forbid that might be the case. But I thought it looked very cool. It's a shame it hasn't got an engine, obviously, but I'm sure they'd be busy putting one in as we speak. It looks quite good. So, yeah, I've done lots of things.
Manage, what have you done this week?
Well, I was the butt of a John Elkann joke at our... live event i saw neil neil turns up feeling a bit hungry and basically eating tesco chicken on stage and then somewhere through the second half he walked off stage he came back you three turned around and you oh my god there it is just take it away for god's sake lewis
