Laurence and David from the RS Owners Club join us on the 3 On The Column Classic Car Podcast.

Of course, it is 1970 and FEV1H wins the London to Mexico Rally, your day-to-day transport is a Lambretta and you really want an Escort with 4 Cibies on the front!

We discover how delivering newspapers to Minster Court in West London as a kid (plus a neighbour with a tasty Escort) starts a passion for RS cars that will last a lifetime; progressing to buying your first RS cars and finding out that, by halftime, the score is Handbag 1, Glovebox 0.

David and Laurence also share with us the the club's exciting events, how members can rely on a wealth of expertise from the many specialists of the different marques within the club and depend on suppliers of those, sometimes quite rare, genuine parts.

Thanks David and Laurence, for sharing your RS Passion.

This week, on our classic car podcast, Brian and Andrew are joined by YouTube sensation, Matt Richardson from Furious Driving: https://www.furiousdriving.co.uk/

Matt gives us his insight into the tribulations of a day's work at Furious Driving, his passion for the cars and the satisfaction of bringing them back to life (and, of course, getting them off the drive before Mrs Furious gets home!)

Being Rover-centric is a long time passion for him and there is a bit of Italian love going on, too. What is Matt's all time dream car and what is it like to drive? Find out here.

We look forward to the upcoming Rustival Show at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon: https://rustivalshow.co.uk/

Matt gives us the lowdown on what it is that makes Rustival really special, the planning that goes into creating one of the best car shows of the season and shares some of his highlights from the last 3 years.

Tonight, in the 3 on the Column Classic Car Podcast, Andrew Roberts and Brian Thomas meet Mike Renaut, freelance journalist, Car Chums podcast host and American cars (especially Edsel) and movie motor enthusiast.

Move all those Vivas out of the way! There's a Ford LTD Country Squire wagon coming through.

If you drove an American car in 1960's London, you were (probably) a villain.

We explore the design influence flowing between US and UK manufacturers in the 1950s and 60s and the broader transatlantic styling trends.

Quick, change all the fins! America made how many cars an hour?

We discuss how the manufacturers' continued use of the same mechanical parts has enabled the hot rodding genre.

We just love the Ford Edsel — why did no one else? Oh, where did I leave my sandwiches and other items of sabotage! Don't worry, Roy. Pop over to Dagenham and sort us out a Cortina, will ya?

Bit of wind noise on your Mondeo? Ron in service will adjust that for you. Look out, he's hitting the airbag! And don't worry Mr Smith, your car will be ready for the midnight handover. Just mind the paint!

It's a Mad Mad Mad World.
