My Dad's Car
Andy and Jon have discussions with invited guests about their personal relationships with automotive nostalgia.
Each episode kicks of by us asking “what’s your earliest car memory?”
From there it’s a journey back through time towards the modern day, but generally focusing on vehicles we remember from childhood.
We ask about music, smells, smoking, breakdowns, selling, buying, accidents and more.
Despite the podcast title, we don’t discriminate against cars belonging to other people, such as Mum’s, Gran’s, Uncle’s, Aunts, friends, or even a neighbours.
If it made an impression, we want to talk about it.
Likewise, this isn't a 'dead Dad's' podcast, but we do like to remember those who have passed, and have found it to be therapeutic to speak about our late Fathers whilst recording these shows.

My Dad's Car
Paul Gardner 'SpeedBroker': My Dad's cars were so embarrassing I used to duck down in the back to hide. BX, Corolla, Skoda, Mini, Morris Minor S5E1
Welcome back to season 5 of My Dad's Car!
We are joined by Paul Gardner from SpeedBroker who found us through our popular social media game 'Car Spotting Tennis' in which we trade interesting vehicle spots with a racquet sports twist.
It was a black Citroen BX that Jon spotted that used to belong to Paul's Dad.
He had a run of mundane cars Paul recalls...
Boring stuff - Toyota Corolla, Citroen BX (boring at the time), Nissan Primera, Almera, Mum's Mini, Morris Minor the list goes on...
Along with the rebellion from his parents bade taste was his Uncle's taste in motor vehicles that lit the spark, firstly a pair of matching Tornado Red Mk2 Golf GTI's, then his Mk3 Cavalier GSI 'was the fastest car in the world' when he was a kid!
We also explore music (Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen) breaking down in a tunnel in a friends Skoda Rapide...
