Episode 117 - Origin Stories
2026/01/04
As usual, we're taking short break over Christmas and the New Year but we're not going to leave you without a podcast to listen to! Episode 117 dips back into the archive and extracts the 'Alfas we've owned' sections from four of our early 'Meet the Board' episodes. Alfa Romeo Driver Editor Guy Swarbrick begins with Club Manager Nick Wright, then Motorsport Director Richard Murtha, Finance Director John Timms and, finally, Section Supremo Jonathan Griffin. Recorded during the pandemic between May 2020 and January 2021, as well as being a fascinating insight into the variety of cars the board has owned - they also act as a time capsule from a very different time, when podcasts were born!
Episode 116 - No Such Thing as a Brera Quadrifoglio 6
2025/12/07
No Such Thing as the Slough-Dover-Coventry Triangle. Guy Swarbrick, Kirsty Hodson, John Griffiths, Nick Wright and David Faithful share their favourite facts about Alfa Romeo - in the UK (mostly!). A surprising number of Alfa Romeo importers have come and gone within a triangle bounded by former offices and Slough, Dover and the current HQ in Coventry. What's going on?

Episode 112 - Sim Racing Section Update
2025/09/07
Hello and welcome to episode 112 of the Alfa Romeo Driver podcast, brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club. With Editor Guy Swarebrick this month are one of the Club’s newest Section Secretaries Andrew Whitehead – know to his friends as TED – and friend of the podcast, MiTo Registrar and AROC Racing Leagues commentator Reeve Taylor to talk about the eSports Section’s latest activities, including its new racing programme which started this week. AROC Racing Leagues races are broadcast on YouTube from 8pm every Wednesday. You can find all the races on the AROC YouTube Channel – and Round 1 of our new 1750 Championship is here The lowest price we could find for the Ultimate Edition of Assetto Corsa is £9.53 at Instant Gaming – which is an absolute steal! We did exaggerate slightly in the podcast when we said it was 13 years old. It’s only 11 years since the official release, although preview versions were around earlier…  And here’s a video showing what’s involved in setting your PC up to race with us - thanks to Section member - and friend of the podcast - Jack Hodson. You can find more at our official website and the Touring Car and Historic Racing websites - and the email address we couldn't remember on the podcast is this simple!  If you don’t have a PC, Assetto Corsa is available for Xbox – although most of the additional content is not and, unfortunately, Xbox and PC multiplayer racing don’t mix. And, finally, thanks to Greig Young for the image on the label - taken from the opening round and feature TED and Matt Daly.

Episode 110 - Lance Dong of Always Looking for Another
2025/07/06
In Episode 110 of the Alfa Romeo Driver podcast – brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club we have something slightly different – or, rather, we have two slightly different things. Lance Dong of the San Diego Chapter of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club of the USA - a regular listener to the Alfa Romeo Driver Podcast started his own podcast - Always Looking for Another. Lance interviewed Guy Swarbrick for his show – and then Guy turned the tables and interviewed him back. You can find Episode 13 of Always Looking for Another through this link, on Spotify, Podcast Addict, Buzzsprout and everywhere else good podcasts are found… You don’t have to listen to that episode first – but if you have time, we’d recommend you do. We refer to it a couple of times here - but this should all make perfect sense even if you listen to this one first. We’d recommend downloading the other 12 episodes, too.

Episode 104 - Steve Deeks and AlfaWorks
2025/01/05
In Episode 104 of the Alfa Romeo Driver Podcast, brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club. Editor Guy Swarbrick sat down with professional racing driver – and instructor – Steve Deeks to talk about his passion for Alfa Romeo. They talked for so long, we turned it into two epsiodes. Part 1 was released in December as Episode 103 and covered Steve’s early racing career and his links to Alfa Romeo – and how that developed into the passion he has for the marque. Part 2 covers his exploits in the Alfa Workshop 4C and the work he’s done with Jamie Porter to help develop the car. It should make sense if you haven’t listened to Part 1, but if you want to catch up and come back, that will work even better.
