Great Podcasts. As a 57 year old man living in the flowing roads in the green mountains of Vermont and who celebrates every mile driven in my S2000 I’m thankful for all of you for sharing your experiences and passion for all things motoring. No detail is too small and the praise for the freedom and joy that we receive from driving cannot be overstated. Thanks to all of you for such a great podcast. Hank
Being a petrolhead from a younger generation, born in 1995, I feel I know a little bit about 90s and 00s cars but I was missing the knowledge about some of the older cars. This podcast takes me every week on a learning adventure that I really enjoy and appreciate. Some of the stories you share with us are priceless. I have learned about all types of cars, magazines, seats, wheels, stereos, steering wheels, racing drivers, movies and even music. I find myself listening to the podcast and searching on Google about some of the things you are talking about and this are some of the best hours I have on my week. Thank you for that!
The part about the favourite stretch of motorway leading into the description of what makes driving special was something else, so evocative, bravo Neil especially.
The complementary personalities are the asset which makes this podcast so compelling. There is the maturity of thought of a long-term classic owner at work here rather than the click-bait sensationalism of a journalist bigging up his 2 hour experience with the latest trinket pushed on the leasing market by a desperate but risk-averse manufacturer. Automotive experiences don't exist in a clinical vacuum. The pleasure we celebrate from automobiles comes from the people we meet, the memorable experiences, the fascinating places, the interesting drives and the adventures and calamities which ensue we we set-off on a road trip. These autoholics are honest with themselves - this a therapy group for those who are happily afflicted!
The commute home on a Friday is made all the sweeter knowing that when I walk through the door, I can pour a large whisky and listen to you guys talk joyous bullshit for an hour that only men of a certain age can appreciate. I'm not sure there has ever been a better "magic hour" to kick off your weekend. Thanks to all
Thanks for another great podcast guys and for putting photos in. Really missed the elegant thoughtfulness of Chris Cooper. Loved it when you all got a bit soppy about best motorways! The M6 bit is the one for me.
I have to say guys, after every pod cast I go straight to the Spotify play list and find the new songs to have a listen. The quality of the tracks on this pod cast are spot on. This is now my go to listen when I am in the car. (I have a big system too which helps).
100% agree with Mr Clifford. One of the best lines in a song, 'I need you more than want you...and I need you for all time' If you guys do discuss songs that make you cry, my vote would be the Johnny Cash rendition of 'Hurt' 😢 Excellent podcast as ever 👏
Watching Breen's comeback run, which was just hitting its crescendo, was becoming joyous and inspiring. So I was absolutely gutted when I heard of this passing 😔
My favourite F1 design was the 2007 McLaren. Such a clean and sleek livery, it makes the car look fast. The silver with the Vodafone red was an instant icon.
@neilclifford, took the words out of my mouth for the M6 north of Manchester. Whether I was 18 in my 7.5ton recover truck or recently in a Bentley GT, that stretch of road is emotional at sun down on the way home to Scotland.
We (the audience) are So Lucky to have a window into the knowledge and geekiness (if that's a word?) you gents show us every week. Keep up the Great work gents. Thank you very much.
"this podcast exists to allow older people to winge... if you don't like free sh*t don't listen to it" 5 stars Mansell's '91 is mine - not just the livery but the entire aesthetic. It's not even my "era" but it looks like what an F1 car should look like in my head.
Keep them coming please boys, love the content, laughs and trips down memory lane. These are now part of my Friday evening detune after a week operating at high revs! Cheers guys 👍🏽
“And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time”. G Campbell. The greatest lyrics of all time! And the M6 north bound from Junction 36, towards Sedbergh and Shap - the best views on the motorway network in this pothole ridden country
When Durex was sponsoring Surtees they had a great advert with an image of the car and driver alongside the words “Durex the small family car”. Priceless!
Yep Guys, Tebay services - epic. Neil, you are right, M6, Lakes- the Shap stretch. You really feel that you are getting there (Scotland that is) after the drudge of Birmingham to Manchester. In Europe, the Olympia Strasse (A95) south from Munich to Garmisch Partenkirchen. speed unlimited piece of road, 100km of excellence driving towards the Alps, it is an inspiring drive, and used to be the test route for Willy Koenig to test his Testarossa twin turbo conversions at 200 mph!!
Great chat as always. I did see Chris at the Members Meeting and was going to let him know how much I enjoy these videos, but he was chilling out before/after a race, so left him to it.
My Father took us to our first Motor Race at Goodwood in 1956/7. It was were I was annointed with Petrolhedinism that had stayed with me all these years.
Another great show guys, keep them coming! Just a thought but i thought a great question/alternative potentially to the two car garage would be your perfect road car and track car. On paper. So a full description of the ideal car in terms of weight, engine power, configuration, displacement, rev limit, placement, gearbox etc
Far and away the best episode ever. - .Neil Clifford played a blinder on all fronts in this one -put me down for the weekend away in Scotland all in Lotus Elites !! Circa 1973 Chris Meek raced a yellow De Tomaso Pantera and would drive home south on the wrong side of the single carriageway from Snetterton on the A11 in a gold Rolls Royce Corniche convertible reg CM 1 overtaking everyone with a blonde well endowed female companion in the left hand seat . I saw him in the mirrors driving my Austin Maxi 1750 HL towing my Mini 7 on a 2 wheel open trailer. "The Small Family Car " Black and gold pinstripes nothing else has ever come close . The theme to "Get Carter" by Roy Budd.
A great episode, I find this podcast has such a large and ever expanding field of view and every week I am surprised by some aspect of it, but unusually it is never a car related surprise. This week it was Ikiru, my favorite film of all time; that me too, Mr Pandey, advise all my friends to watch. Thank you.
A great Podcast, I’ve been lucky enough to drive several of the motorways mentioned, the A8 was my regular drive to a house we had by the lake. I’m off tomorrow morning to drive it again!
Loved #80MM this year. Went on Sunday. Watched the epic GT1 demo from above the pit lane, watched the Lotus Cortina race from start to finish, the Brabham demo was superb too. Stayed right until the end! I've been going to Goodwood for 25 years now since FOS in 1998 and Members Meeting is the one to get to for me.
I absolutely love the range of this podcast. You discussed Goodwood 2 car solution, great motorways, and the Golf. Thank you. I will politely disagree about VW ID cars. I would love to have the new ID.7 and a Mark 7 GTI manual in my garage. In my humble opinion - An EV daily and a hot hatch for the weekend is an excellent solution.
We can’t discount South Africa in the best bit of highway , on our N4 from Machadadorp to Nelspruit is awesome if you ignore the National speed limit , had major fun chasing an Audi RS2 Coupe in Golf 2 GTI way back in 94 , and more recently chasing a 135i with my 330d , man what a nice chase road. Then you have a technical piece of heaven going through Chapmans Peak with the blue Atlantic on you left with the mountains on your right, I personally prefer driving that road alone as your passengers are almost always screaming for fear of dying !
6'4"?! I would have guessed 5'5 if an inch--a modified Bob Hoskins, if you like. Cheers from San Francisco and props on the best way to start a Friday with this chat. Speaking of: have you thought about a segment devoted to the movie The Long Good Friday? A fav car film from over there.
Favorite stretch of motorways. Before the cameras, the two corners pass High Cross eastbound on the M4. Jct 25s and 25 on M4 also eastbound. Start of M5 to jct 2. Also, wouldn't say no to a segment where someone chooses their favorite car sold on Collecting Cars in the past week.
Best F1 livery. Malboro McLaren, Canon/Labatts Williams and 7 UP Jordan, which also leads me to hopefully a topic you'll cover, prettiest F1 car, for me, Jordan 191.....stunning
Love your work gents. Working my way through your learned rants and gems from day dot, whilst enjoying the current eps from about number 37- having just done ep 45. Ps. It’s not all shit driving in Australia. If any of you make it to Byron Bay, we can sort you a tasty car and route (not root) for a good day’s drive in the hinterland. 👊🏻
I worked for the local VW dealership and it always saddened me when someone (in spite my efforts) got a shitty T-cross when for the same money they could have had THE GOLF.
Speaking of historical races; has anyone been to the Monaco Grand Prix Historique? Its always very lovely to watch on youtube; I bet it must be great to do live.
Loving your podcasts - thank you. A question - if you have £150k to spend - what 1960+ car would you buy to secure yourself a place on the grid at Goodwood Revival……
M6 for me, I drove Plymouth to Aberdeen 4 years ago and the road just cleared north of Manchester. I remember thinking at the time, here I am sat driving in a performance coupe with all mod cons at my finger tips and driving somewhere freely and at my own will. I did actually think, how long am I (or we) going to be able to do this? It was March 2019!
Facel Vega - top car, good enough for for Stirling Moss, good enough for Chris Harris - I was wondering whether the Monica 560 would ever crop up on here, doesn’t fit the choice criteria sadly
This podcast is simply the best. It’s this unnamed podcast aka Collecting Cars and The Carmudgeon Show with Cammisa and DTS. Done. Edit: I like free shit, Chris so keep it coming! 👍🏾👍🏾
![Ferrari Won Le Mans!! But Does It Even Matter? [S6, E37]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4uxushuq-vM/mqdefault.jpg)
I swear to god the only true petrol head chat on the internet. I love this so much thanks
Carmudgeon is right up there I think
It's unbelievably nerdy in all the right ways!

You old farts got all the good stuff😢, let us get some of that VTEC goodness

Thank you for that!
The Beano has arrived. Thanks guys another 73 minutes of sheer pleasure.
The only podcast I cannot wait for!
This is really the very best motoring podcast 😊
Hands down.
@@BarryCoombs1 It really is very good. Have you tried The Intercooler podcast as well? Great back catalogue.

Chris Cooper is sorely missed
Thanks for another great podcast guys and for putting photos in. Really missed the elegant thoughtfulness of Chris Cooper. Loved it when you all got a bit soppy about best motorways! The M6 bit is the one for me.
Best part of the week is when a new episode is released of this podcast! Keep them coming 👌🏾
Even a man down it's the best start to the weekend for any 50 something petrolhead. Absolute GOLD!
I have to say guys, after every pod cast I go straight to the Spotify play list and find the new songs to have a listen. The quality of the tracks on this pod cast are spot on. This is now my go to listen when I am in the car. (I have a big system too which helps).
It’s always a joy to spend an hour listening to you guys. Missed the wit and intellect from Chris Cooper’s contribution this week.
Just wanna say thanks guys for having this Podcast every Friday👍
100% agree with Mr Clifford. One of the best lines in a song, 'I need you more than want you...and I need you for all time'
If you guys do discuss songs that make you cry, my vote would be the Johnny Cash rendition of 'Hurt' 😢
Excellent podcast as ever 👏
Particularly philosophical episode this week, love it!
Fantastic pod as usual, the Golf chat in particular is on point 👌
Listen on a podcast app but come here just to say how brilliant this podcast is. Honestly look forward to Fridays just for it
Watching Breen's comeback run, which was just hitting its crescendo, was becoming joyous and inspiring. So I was absolutely gutted when I heard of this passing 😔
So sad ,great man and driver !
We need to have those roads and places pinned on a collecting cars google maps pin list hahaha
My favourite F1 design was the 2007 McLaren. Such a clean and sleek livery, it makes the car look fast. The silver with the Vodafone red was an instant icon.

My weekly fix of car drugs:
Monday = Carmudgeshow❤
Friday = Collecting addics❤
And God willing I will be there listening to a very old Collecting Addicts podcast in 10 years time.
"this podcast exists to allow older people to winge... if you don't like free sh*t don't listen to it"
5 stars
Mansell's '91 is mine - not just the livery but the entire aesthetic. It's not even my "era" but it looks like what an F1 car should look like in my head.
The Jordan 191 was gorgeous. Design, function and livery all working together 👌
Keep them coming please boys, love the content, laughs and trips down memory lane.
These are now part of my Friday evening detune after a week operating at high revs! Cheers guys 👍🏽
Great improvement seeing the added car pictures!
These just get better and better and they were good from the start. Say it as you think it. Don’t hold back. 😁👍
Absolutely love these episodes gentlemen. They are tremendous. Thank you.
Yet again, I feel like I was right here with you guys! Thank you, so much!
Again the only thing this podcast misses is a better edit that displays videos and pictures of what is being talked about
Not necessary Daniel. The crapper the edit the better, it's authentic and thus refreshing.
See 3:15
It’s getting better
I've always loved the Facel Vega - when I actually saw one in the flesh I still loved it but was surprised how small it was.
Your guys are the best, I look forward every week. Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏 The end of the Golf GTI oh my god the world has gone crazy.
“And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time”. G Campbell. The greatest lyrics of all time!
And the M6 north bound from Junction 36, towards Sedbergh and Shap - the best views on the motorway network in this pothole ridden country
Cracking Podcast. One for the driving tunes, Stanley Clarke - School Days, just try not to end up in a hedge backwards whilst listening to it.
I’m building a Lego McLaren Senna GTR whilst listening to this excellent podcast. Brilliant 👍
When Durex was sponsoring Surtees they had a great advert with an image of the car and driver alongside the words “Durex the small family car”. Priceless!
Yep Guys, Tebay services - epic.
Neil, you are right, M6, Lakes- the Shap stretch. You really feel that you are getting there (Scotland that is) after the drudge of Birmingham to Manchester.
In Europe, the Olympia Strasse (A95) south from Munich to Garmisch Partenkirchen. speed unlimited piece of road, 100km of excellence driving towards the Alps, it is an inspiring drive, and used to be the test route for Willy Koenig to test his Testarossa twin turbo conversions at 200 mph!!

Craig Breen’s passing was a great tragedy. Such a passionate fan of rallying, and superb rally driver. RIP
Interestingly the adverts presented at the beginning was for Germaloids - definitely hitting the target audience : )
The Holy Trinity - Collecting Addicts Podcast, Harry's Garage & Jay Leno's Garage.

Absolutely love, this, please never stop
Love you guys, thank you all so much for this content
Best F1 livery....Gold Leaf Lotus 49, beautiful car....or the much later Essex sponsorship Lotus livery.
Hey guys, question for you. Best car door handle??? For me right up there is the BMW E30 motorsport handles.
These are just so bloody good... keep em coming guys.👏
These podcasts are educational, once again well done to all. It would be great if you were all in the same room. Maybe a Christmas special.
Wichita Linesman
Absolute tune !
Love that bit of the m6
Top class!
Fabulous, keep them coming.
“… with me in full fat-spec” haha Chris gets me sometimes. Great ep, fellas.
Talking about slower cars on the road, I took my manual straight-six 330i round the Alps and north Italy on some fantastic roads. It’s all you need.
Dog ejection at 46:11... love waiting for each episode and seeing doggygate...
Now we know why Patrese was taking it steady on Saturday versus Brabham in the other BT52 😆. Another great episode, many thanks gents.
I look forward to every Friday with eagerness.
Brilliant work keep it coming
ADDICTS COLLECTED!!!
We are all here…..
these are always the best on a friday morn

Best Motorway is the A28 autoroute from the A13 junction south past Alencon heading to Le Mans.
Best F1 livery.
Malboro McLaren, Canon/Labatts Williams and 7 UP Jordan, which also leads me to hopefully a topic you'll cover, prettiest F1 car, for me, Jordan 191.....stunning
Driving songs: A Forest, by The Cure. The beat is like the broken white line of the road going by on a night drive.
Love your work gents. Working my way through your learned rants and gems from day dot, whilst enjoying the current eps from about number 37- having just done ep 45.
Ps. It’s not all shit driving in Australia. If any of you make it to Byron Bay, we can sort you a tasty car and route (not root) for a good day’s drive in the hinterland. 👊🏻
Chris Harris every single episode “I’m going to go first because I usually go last” 😂
blub songs suggestions - cold little heart(radio edit), we have all the time in the world, horse with no name
Happy Friday guys, my favourite podcast 🙂
Addicted in less than a week 👍🏽👍🏽
I worked for the local VW dealership and it always saddened me when someone (in spite my efforts) got a shitty T-cross when for the same money they could have had THE GOLF.
I get soo angry everytime i see a bloody troc and tcross. The most pointless cars to me.
Always loved the Facel Vega, Ringo Starr had one. Nuff said...
Mannish is so on it usually but I think the original quote was……was from Richie Ginther who said a Lotus 40 was just a Lotus 30 with 10 more faults.
Hola fine people :D who made a very complete doc about racing fuel and anectodes? Thank you Collecting Cars!!
Speaking of historical races; has anyone been to the Monaco Grand Prix Historique?
Its always very lovely to watch on youtube; I bet it must be great to do live.
Surprised the Hesketh Penthouse Rizla livery didn’t get an honourable mention 😂
I was sure one of you would have picked a 1966 XJ13! Subjective I know, but one of the most beautiful cars ever made IMO
Suggestion for a future topic: Car badges that completely change the car from the standard model
Loving your podcasts - thank you. A question - if you have £150k to spend - what 1960+ car would you buy to secure yourself a place on the grid at Goodwood Revival……
I have nothing interesting to add, just a comment for the algorithm.
Much love guys!
👍 for the Vienna reference
“Full fat spec” 😂😂👏👏

The Honda earth car livery was ahead of its time. Warning us of global warming as it was always on fire.
This podcast is simply the best. It’s this unnamed podcast aka Collecting Cars and The Carmudgeon Show with Cammisa and DTS. Done.
Edit: I like free shit, Chris so keep it coming! 👍🏾👍🏾
