Collecting Cars podcast with Martin Brundle & Chris Harris

I’ve downloaded it ready to listen on the drive home.
To be fair, every episode has been to a high standard, full of information and plenty of laughs.
He even did one with a guy called Dave Edmonston, who went by the name of Piston Ted and started some website called Pistonheads. I wonder what happened to it...

The F1 section remains epically good though
Excellent - just started with the Brundle episode which brought back memories of seeing him race in county series BMWs at Brands and watching him better Moss in the Audi 80 . Decent , grown up questioning too- I enjoy the Tom Clarkson F1 podcasts but he is a little starry eyed about his guests , is no Andrew Neil on the question front and sounds like a kids' TV presenter .
And if you want to hear a masterpiece of self mythologising, humble bragging and toe curling egotism you could do no better than to listen to Nigel Mansell on the Motor Sport magazine pod cast .

Well if you mortgaged your home to get a drive with Lotus you too could self mythologise.Well it depends doesn't it. To me Mansell is a legend, as he grew up near me. Actually his house is about 10 minutes walk away from where I live, and 10 minutes walk away from where Murray Walker was born. It's also near where Jasper Carrott grew up but we won't talk about him.
Personally I think Mansell gets a hard time because, well he has a boring voice to begin with but I think it's more to do with the fact he's a Brummie. Everyone evangelises Button when he had a fairly easy path in to F1. And don't forget Mansell did a lot for F1, he'd have been a multiple world champion if not for a puncture, and you don't get to the pinnacle of a sport without being a bit of a d

head.Don't misunderstand me , I was a huge admirer of Mansell as a driver . I was at Brands for his first GP win , and (luckily ) was in the Stowe grandstand when he mugged Piquet and the place erupted. It is just the whining noise that started when he turned the engine off -not the accent , but the content . Frank Dernie's Motorsport podcast is wickedly funny on that .
Mansell has a fantastic record as a driver , in both F1 and Indy, so why he feels he still has to play the victim card in public I really don't know
