DO YOU SMELL THAT? DO. YOU. SMELL THAT?? That, my friends, is the odour of victory. Just as the winners write the history books, so do they hang little pine trees (or scented rappers' faces) around the rearview mirrors of the cars made by the losers. Because those losers of wars build some amazing cars. And those cars start to, you know, take on a bit of their own distinctive musk. Nothing pungent, but definitely evocative.

Join Nick and Sam as they guide you by the nose around the crumbling foam and gently heated plastics of yesteryear's classics.

And, speaking of classics, we give the update on the legends of our neighbourhood. You might recognise your own ride!

It's been a while since something like this has happened - I swear! Normally, we just go for a quickie to fill in the need and make a big effort later on when bloody work isn't so busy, and we all know what that's like, right?

Talking about podcasting here. Trying the clever little switcharoo to cover up for a particularly dry dry-spell, and we are certainly not above including the word "sex" in the episode title to vacuum in a little more interest.

But do we actually talk about sex in cars? Do we ever! Eventually. After a lot of build up.

And if that doesn't get you going, how about this: The Next Great Economic Crash! Nick and Sam have stumbled upon the a horrible truth about electric that no one is prepared for, just like Christian Bale in that movie where he's the only economist in America to predict the GFC. You know the one: Batman!

Listen in. Listen out. Listen during.

Oh boy! Is that a brand new V12 supercar?? No, actually, that one is a render trawling for people who respond to the words "manual twelve cylinder" with drool and seven-figure deposit cheques. Which would be your old pals, Nick and Sam. If we used cheques. Which is the only restriction.

How about THAT? Is that a real V12 supercar? Yes. Yes, and the boys are back after a long, sad winter hiatus to talk about design, purity, Chris Bangle, the Nilu 27, the new Testarossa and The Burger Incident.

It's shopping time! Come, lose a finger squeezing under the slowly ascending roller door with Nick and Sam as they charge into car marketplaces of the world. We get a little too intimate comparing the Carsales app to Tindr, but we aren't far off the mark. Swipe. Low ball. Bid. It's all pretty similar, right? We reminisce about the ones that got away, and the ones where we almost risked it all. And yes, this is mostly Marketplace and Gumtree, but you have to kiss a few frogs to get into a V12 Alpina with the pin stripes. No! Don't worry about sourcing 12 individual, 28-year-old BMW spark plugs! Check out the car phone! Buy! Sell!

And listen in. This episode gets emotional.

Most beautiful car ever made? One question, two answers. The first won't surprise you, the second will make you thump your steering wheel rage. To give themselves something to do in the lazy hiatus (which seems to be a bit of a theme this year), Nick and Sam pondered what the most beautiful car ever made was according to a) everyone, and b) no one but ourselves. What drab piece of automotive history would we defend as being a secret stunner?

Listen in to find out!

Okay. Right, um. So, yep, seatbelt, keys in the ignition - don't turn them yet! No, so. Okay, foot on brake. Middle one. Wait, left one, I guess. NOW turn the keys, okay, STOP turning them! Engine is on! Now, uhm, right. Put it in 'D', handbrake off, indicate, check mirrors, okay wait, adjust your mirrors. Bugger. Forgot about that one. Okay, still indicating, now release brake and move off slowl-SLOWly, now steer. STEER. HOW?? Hand over under hand ten and two unless you're moving the wheel in which case ...

Nick and Sam have been pondering the big questions: how the hell do you teach someone to use a steering wheel?

We also report on the return of the Great Car Names, but perhaps not the things that made them great. It's like a high school reunion where everyone's gotten a little more ... comfortable?

Enjoy!

There were Hondas, there were Toyotas, there were Nissans, there were probably Subarus and Isuzus and Daihatsus and even the odd Mazda. There were high ones, low ones, ones that went even lower than that, and then a couple which were deffo lowered, but not on purpose, because these things tend to be pretty homemade. But the one thing that was definitely there was love. And a yakitori stand that took a while to serve you, but was worth the wait.

All Japan Day 2025 was an absolute all-timer, and your favourite car-based podcasters, Nick and Sam, were there to capture it all from the mostly comfy front seats of a mostly stock R33. We even cover the sad fella in the forgotten Gallardo getting repeatedly outshone on the window-fogging drive-past by a lady in a classy Commodore. If you know her, you know her, and we happy to wave as we dove back in to really appreciate a properly turned out Corona.

Friends! Drivers! Patient Passengers! Lend us your ears. And your favourite memories of the Honda Motor Corporation. Nothing says confidence in a car company like sending their new F1 drivers off to work in a 30-year-old NSX (hilariously covered in Season 1, Ep. 7) just after deciding not to go dancing with Nissan.

But we digress. Which we also do a lot of in this latest episode. Get your fill (premium, of course) on truck talk and exactly what we think of the Toyota Tundra (not premium, dudes. Definitely not premium).

Listen in, and come on down to our live pod recording at All Japan Day! Wigley Reserve, Glenelg, 23rd of February!
