Join us for a 5 minutes of bonus chat about utilizing Cockney Rhyming Slang in reference to vehicles of the past.

A VW Jetta could be a Red Setter, a Hans Solo a VW Polo, a Nelson and Winnie a Mini.

Trying to get further ideas we turned to Chat GPT, but sadly the magic of rhyming slang is lost on AI, and its suggestions were all laughable for the wrong reasons... Pretty pony and trap to be honest.

Can you think of any good ones? Get in touch - we'll sort a mug out for our favourite!

This week we are joined by Nathan Tregonning, the man behind the Mental Health Car Club, and in Jon's absence, we welcome a special guest host (and previous guest himself) Paul Gardner from Speed Broker.

Nathan's earliest and fondest car memory was travelling to Whitby in his Grandad's Sierra Cosworth. From memory it was a navy blue 3 door, although that was based on an aged photograph. The 1982 registration must be a mistake, perhaps it was on a personalized number plate?

Everyone locally knew that car, and although his Grandad loved it, he would often take the bus, or walk to save racking up the miles.

Sadly, ill health forced him to sell it, and nothing exciting was to fill its space.

Growing up, Nathan was very much influenced by custom and modified car culture, so only really had eyes for those vehicles on the streets. In his local area at least, not much stood out.

If you'd like to find out more about Nathan's work encouraging car enthusiasts to speak to each other about mental health, then check him out on instagram here.

We're joined this week by Paul Medhurst, the man behind VW workshop, classic car showroom and now destination coffee shop Type 2 Detectives.

Paul recalls telling people his Grandad used to drive an Aston Martin - however, his Mum corrected him one day when she overheard him telling some friends... It was actually an Austin Maxi!

His Dad had an Austin Princess, then a Ford Cortina which they drove to the South of France. His Mum had a VW Beetle, and later a Mini Cooper, which his Dad scored from the neighbour, after a domestic argument over a brand new VW Campervan meant it had to go!

Paul also records a speedy trip around the block in a Porsche 964 with a mate from school... a car which later inspired him to buy his own 964.

We hope you enjoy this episode.
