Hello again lovely Patrons. And we start this week’s show notes with a picture of Jonny’s ‘secret’ new car that we talked about very carefully in the podcast so as not to reveal its identity, not realising that this weekend there’s a new Late Brake Show which gives away what it is. Jonny forgot about this when recording the pod, the concert standard flute. After that we have an Amphicar 770 (scam, not pictured), Richard in his new rollneck and flat cap (unimpressed wife, not pictured), and the amazing 1932 Bucciali TAV8-32 Saoutchik ‘Fleche d’Or’ with a large bird on its side, though it’s actually a stork rather than a swan (Jonny and Richard giggling at the car’s name on the lawn at Goodwood, not pictured). Now, some links…

Well, those crash test videos have put me right of my dessert (a Simon Howie chocolate haggis. (Yes, you read that correctly))

Hi guys, talking of police cars I can say this as I see them almost everyday, in my local area (Portsmouth) the police are still using a few 62 plate Ford fiestas and focus also they have some very interesting unmarked cars, including bmw i3 (in black and orange) I’ve also seen a green mid 2000s fiesta and also a mk3 focus.

Fact. They're HW registered too. Isle of Wight. I'll put the anorak away now.

I live here in the Netherlands and my old neighbor had an amphicar. It was quite shite and produced a constant thin black smoke both on the road and on the water. Almost as a perpetual SOS alert… It was brilliant chatting with him, especially as he started losing his mind.

Daniel P

I've been in an Amphicar on the road and down the river. A friend has one and featured on an old tv show about them presented by Suggs off of Madness.

Richard Fitton-Perkins

Am I alone in being able to detect a 1-2psi drop in tyre pressures from how the car feels and drives? My cars always feel tighter and handle neater with the correct OEM pressures. And yes, I am apparently a sad man.

Richard Fitton-Perkins

Re the Ugandan Amphicar, you’re not being nearly sadistic enough with the scammers. As a reliability test, I’d have asked them to deliver it in person, ie., drive it across the ocean!

Des Denman

51 and have a flat cap. I don't wear it as I seem to age at least 10 years wearing it, that or when I see myself in it I see my grandfather and feel much older despite the fact he was probably my age at the time.

If the Disco 4 was silver it could be your podcast rival, Autoalex - They've done a facelift on their Disco 3 with a buggered Disco 4

“Walts” are those strange people who like to pretend to be in (or to have been in) the military/emergency services. From Walter Mitty of course.

Just had a look at my model 3. If you go into service there should be a Reset TPMS sensors button. If you select that a new window pops up with a Learn new pressures option.

Guy Meagher

The disco 4 could be a doctor. A small number of GPs and maybe other Doctors have relevant qualifications and a contract or something with their NHS trusts to do blue light responses to homes - I think more rural areas.

The moon, on that side of things, has a mirror on it placed there during the Apollo 11 mission. The exact distance from earth to moon is measured by firing a laser at the mirror and measuring how long it takes for the laser to be reflected back to earth...

Sorry for misleading as my car is older so has the reset button. According to what I can find Tesla switched from RF to Bluetooth tire sensors. These are supposed to automatically update but if they aren’t doing, might be worth contacting Tesla.

Stephen McEvoy

In Northern Ireland there are (or were) a fleet of unmarked, armoured Disco 4s used for transporting politicians, judges etc. Around. They had discreet blue lights and if NI registered might appear to be a private reg to someone in GB. That's where my money would go.

Stephen McEvoy

That's not where my money would literally go. I tried a Disco 4 once, and within 6 weeks was back in a Disco 2.

Peter Heamon

Bald men should never wear a roll neck jumper. They look like a circumcised penis.

Matthew Aves

Re the Smart flat tyre - Brabus wheels are famously made from cheese - soft cheese at that. They deform and will not hold air. Mate recently sent his off to be refurbed by respected wheel refinishers. Three were scrap despite looking OK

Ben Payne

Now remember chaps, they're only called "champagne flutes" if they're from the Champagne region of France - otherwise they're simply "sparkling tossers"

Andy

Whilst the flat cap looks a tad "golfy" put it down to it being early morning

James Ockenden

I'm writing this on a train to London, after getting on at Winchester. All I can smell is Lynx Africa, no mountain bike in sight

The Gardaí in Dublin have a confiscated Golf mk7 R which leads a very tough life and frequently gets damaged during pursuits/interceptions

keith hilton

Just got a work email with an OTSOT in it. Feels like I've joined a cult.

Richard, You’re going to upset the Rover 200 BRM people saying the cars are all the same. There were 3 optional extras available from Rover. A passenger airbag, a boot mounted 6 CD changer, and aircon. Also, all the owners will wear matching green hoodies at events so they blend in with each other too. I get a pass on mocking them as I’ve owned 3 over the years.

James Hounslow

Sorry chaps, just joined now and this was the first post/picture I’ve seen; Richard where did you get that roll neck jumper (I’ve quite a few and always want more).

Colin Kao

Disney Springs in Orlando offers Amphicar rides, for a price. Pretty awesome, the kids loved it!
