Whisky, pickups and David Coverdale Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

Jonny has been listening to country music while Richard encountered some annoying aeroplanes.

Plus, unimaginative restomods, an old person in an Integra Type R, the dream of an EV Matra Rancho, and the despair of 1980s Euro car designers when asked to do the US-spec detailing. Oh, and an inordinate amount of chat about David Coverdale including his comical Whitesnake videos, his incredible air-brake shirts, his taste in cars, and why his shoes are like a fourth generation Pontiac Firebird.
