It better not be the end.... Now off to write a strongly worded letter to my MP.

I've been very successful in life and am a serial car nut and purchaser. Also very, very forgetful. Which motoring related podcast will help me remember the name of the foremost classic and sports car auction site from where I will regularly spend hundreds of bags at?

Chris was here today with one of the other podcast guys, grey hair but I don’t remember his name.

Chris had borrowed the U.K. Porsche RS to take around.
Where is ‘here’?
Over there, where PRO5T is.
Sorry, Nürburgring.

Bit sad if it stops but hey ho.

It shouldn't really work as a podcast as there are too many people. But it does.

I must say when I first started listening I didn't know who Chris Cooper was and I mixed up Neil Clifford with Neil Woodford! Chris Cooper would waffle on...I was absolutely sure he was some business management consultant wonk. Only someone like that can blow that much hot air. And true enough, that's exactly what he is hehe But actually he's come to be my favourite person to listen to on there. I think he's the type of guy you'd always have fun with no matter what you were doing or where you were going.

Hopefully they do comeback. They don't need to make it a weekly thing. They're all busy guys so I guess squeezing something in weekly is quite difficult. But a good monthly chinwag about cars and stuff would work.

There was a month's break last year about September time. No need to panic, my guess is they have too much fun doing it. Deserve a break to do stuff which can then be discussed and joked about. Enjoy yourselves gents.

Seems a bit of a weird ending (if that is what it is) as they have built up a huge following from it which easily translates into their coffee run attendances etc.

I do hope this isn’t the end.

I enjoy listening to the podcast when driving or walking and can’t think of another motoring one of the same standard.

Really hope it comes back, enjoyed it so much.

Anything would be better than nothing…. Even once a month!

Bi-weekly would be good and perhaps with some of the older style interview episodes mixed in which would also ease the burden. Other podcasts I listen to sometimes have 3-4 hosts but still goes ahead with 1-2 of them when they can’t all make it.

Has to be an opening for proper ‘car nerd’ / ‘enthusiast’ chat and video content away from the largely pointless ‘challenge’ style (TG) or reviews dumbed down for the casual viewer. Mix of new and classics. A drive to X destination without false nonsense.

But returns on time and investment has to be there if it were a you tube thing.

Anyway… understand all those involved with the pod are busy people with other things that is their actual work. The content was great, especially being free also. Much appreciated and will be missed if it doesn’t come back.

Great pointer: the Originals- the interview podcasts were great insights to various individuals

Must be a load more to tap.

Was I the only one who thought that some of the personalities didn’t see eye to eye, probably thinking too much into it

I did cringe pretty hard at (I think) the most recent one when they were talking about front number plates and Clifford (I think) was saying about getting fined and CH had a proper rant about people who don’t have front plates etc…. I imagine they most fall out a bit??

Manish bought his 456 so the show is over wink
Actually, would be a shame if it ends but it's understandable. Making a good show takes much more time and planning than you would think.

I can't believe there's not more uproar from this commuicty about this. I've been watching religiously for about a year andit's become a real part of my weekly routine. An hour or so of car chat with some very well informed & funny gents usually with a libation or two to hand. Am really missing the show and if they bin it off altogether, It's a missed opportunity for their brand and PR.

I genuinely hope they'll make a regular return.
