About This Podcast
Do you like just going for a drive? Just for the pleasure of it? Do you have a favourite car? Do you have a nemesis car? One that's always in the way?
This is the podcast for you. We are two comedians, talking about cars and the people who drive around us. Each episode we dissect what on Earth these people are doing on the roads in the first place, share a car story, and discuss our Car of the Week.
Write in and tell us your car story!
