This week: A crashed Vauxhall VX220, one of the worst cars ever made, and the role the girl from A-Ha's 'Take On Me' video played in British automotive history.

Listen below or wherever else you get your podcasts from.

Our VX220 and X-90 we found this week came with all sorts of paperwork.

One had even saved the old tax discs, the other looked like a child's homework.

Remember when Vauxhall paid Griff Rhys Jones £600,000 a year to tank their sales? It didn't do much for our VX220 on this week's pod either.

Fortunately, Suzuki didn't need any help tanking sales of our X-90.

That secondhand car podcast is back with an episode devoted to VW's zany Harlequin era - and the Single White Female-like copycats it inspired...
Do you like the VW Polo Harlequin?

Do you like it enough that you'd modify your Golf or Passat in the same manner?

Turns out some people do, as we found out on our latest episode.

Join the world's finest secondhand car podcast as we go back to 1984. When men were slimy and women dressed as car seats.
This week, we step back to 1984.

Patrick Mower! Pop psychology! Many, many -isms! It's all here on Central TV's coverage of the British International Motor Show at the NEC!

"What's wrong with being sexy?"

"Sex-ist, Patrick."

It's Central's coverage of the 1984 British International Motor Show, as discussed in nauseating detail on our latest podcast.

More automotive weirdness and the usual other nonsense for your consideration...
Yes, unfortunately, we're still here.

This week it's a Honda Prelude and a Toyota Celica with some unusual modifications.

The Honda Prelude was famed for its handling, so why would anyone ruin that with a hydraulics modification?

So you can have it do this, we guess...

This week's automotive nonsense, where me and @ryanlambie.bsky.social discuss the automotive equivalent of Turkey Teeth...
This week, we look at a Toyota MR2 and Mazda MX5 which have gone undercover as Ferraris.

Plus why Ryan sold his MKII MR2, the F355's notorious fiery end, and whether you'd swap these for a Jeep Wrangler.

If you only listen to one podcast about the Perodua Nippa today, make it this one.
It's an actual case of baby forces sale on this week's episode with a Daihatsu Copen plus a rare example of what was once the cheapest car on sale in Britain, the Perodua Nippa AKA the Perodua Kancil.

SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/episode/4VYN...
Behold! The greatest car advert ever to grace the small screen!

Unfortunately, our Perodua Nippa on this week's podcast doesn't have colour-coded bumpers or sexy graphics - but may have a tape player.

But how else will ChatGPT know whether a jet-engined hearse is better or not than a Metro 6R4 replica?

Which reminds us, listen to this week's episode to find out.

A hearse with a jet engine, you say?

We found one for sale on Facebook Marketplace and obviously had to talk about it.

Just another normal week on the podcast as we find a hearse with a jet engine and a replica of one of the maddest Group B rally cars ever to see the light of day.

Last call for this week's podcast.

Good news: There IS a new episode this week!

Bad news: There's a new episode this week.

Last call for this week's episode...
A look back at a time capsule of British TV in the new podcast - an episode of the 1994 documentary From A To B, about sales reps and their attitude to cars.
This week, we learn how to negotiate around company car policy with your fleet manager, discover how many Shell points it takes to get a free colour television, and ponder what a No. 70 on the Little Chef menu might have been with the BBC's 'From A to B'.

SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/episode/7h3N...
What's the worst thing that could happen to a sales rep? Being given a Maestro Clubman D as a company car, apparently.

Find out more on this week's episode.
