| 29 May 2024 | EP12: The dying art of car names and the scourge of the modern-day car spotter | 00:45:39 | |
These days car names aren't what they used to be. Cars often sound more like appliances today than a form of continental seduction they once did. Will we ever see a return to days when cars were sounded as sexy as Mangusta, Miura or Lusso? We also discuss the ongoing plague of the modern-day car spotter, who seems to prefer rummaging through your bins than appreciating a car from a respectful distance.
