Discussion

I've listened to a few of these, and enjoyed the episodes featuring Tiff and Richard Porter.
Can seem very elitist at times, like I'm listening in to a conversation between people of a totally different social and financial class.
There was an episode where they were discussing Dickie Meaden's 964 RS and saying "Of course, these used to be cheap - you could pick them up for like thirty grand. There'd be people going to the Nurburgring and treating them as disposable track cars" which felt a bit out of touch with reality. Maybe the comment was tongue in cheek, but at that point I realised that Chris and Ed are not your average men on the street!
I guess the clue is in the podcast title - most serious car "collectors" are very wealthy individuals.
I don’t think it’s elitist. They are obviously successful chaps but are quite candid about it. And £30k for a 964RS? That is insanely cheap though! Can seem very elitist at times, like I'm listening in to a conversation between people of a totally different social and financial class.

It's been nearly a decade since I logged into my Pistonheads profile. Listening to the Collecting Cars podcast with Petrol Ted today reminded me how revolutionary this forum was for enthusiasts. Decided to resurrect a very old email account in order to log on for nostalgias sake.
Long live PH.
Long live PH.

Enjoyed that. Not sure why there was 33 minutes of silence tacked on at the end?
I was wondering the same.It was a great podcast though and I loved listening to the old PistonHeads stories.
I did laugh at the mention of the American fella on the Lotus section famous for having no sense of humour whatsoever. It wasn't just PH where that was the case.
