Description

Join Andy Cooper from Northern Ireland's RMS Motoring with fellow hosts Ross Annett and Gary Reilly on their journey to blag a chat with the most renowned petrolheads and motoring personalities they can manage. After two decades of running RMS, competing in motorsport, writing, blogging, photography, features, reviews and travel, Andy knew there was only one other thing to do. Talk. And some of the most interesting car folk you meet in life might be 5 minutes trackside at Kirkistown Circuit or in a packed hall at the Geneva Motor Show. Sold as Seen is the ultimate excuse for us to have a proper chat with anyone who loves cars, be they from 'wee' NI or further afield, and share it with you all. And when we're not, we're gassing about cars in general. If you like what we're doing, tell a mate. And be internet socially responsible - like, share and rate. And enjoy! Hosted on Acast.

Slightly Flawed Motors

2025/09/18

Following a summer hiatus, Sold As Seen returns. Andy was at an Evo Trackday at Bedford Autodrome, and the Pistonheads Annual Service, along with being impressed after a week with the Lotus Emeya. Gary enlightens us with the superb LFA vs Carrera GT Top Gear Video and quickly pulls us back to earth on the topic of the cyber attack on JLR. We also talk China's domination of the EV market, and both the demise and return of physical controls. Ross brings the listener and forum member questions which we answer in as haphazard and unprepared manner as you would expect. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Road Works with Wesley Johnston

2025/06/25

Burning questions for the Northern Irish motorist. Why did we only recently get motorway services recently? Will the A5 ever be finished? Will there be a bridge to Scotland? In this episode we are joined by the foremost authority on the Northern Irish road network, author and self confessed public highway enthusiast Wesley Johnston. Less about cars in this show, and more about the roads we use them on. You may know Wesley from is amazing NI Roads website, http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/roads, our independent voice on where and why roads are built, or as in the case of the A5, continual hiatus. Wesley takes us through what went before, from the grand plans from the 60s that never came to fruition, to the new Narrow Water Bridge that is well underway. Ross reminds us of the dirt bike over the top of Toome Bypass bridge Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

K20 Conversion with Neil Magill

2025/05/06

Gaz and Andy are joined by RMS forum member Neil Magill. We'd like to say he's one of us, but maybe he's who we aspire to be. Anyway, he's currently building an MK RX-5 VTEC - think locaterfield kit car with a Type-R heart, building it at home. And he recently rescued a classic Impreza turbo in a local barn find. Also in this episode, the Rashmen's take on the Port Car Scene stirs up memories of the heady Max Power cruise days. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

VED Clinic

2025/04/01

Andy regales a recent Silverstone Track Day, driving the new AM Vantage and advising a mate on a £15k hot hatch. Ross is excited for the return of Dubshed and to see the new R5. Gary brings a triumvirate of woe - VED increases, manufacturers up to no good, and that the 208 GTi won't be combustion powered, but brings it all back at the last minute with great plans for a new Civic Type R. And although we all agree that we no nothing about F1, we all very much miss the late Eddie Jordan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Absolute YouTubes (Ep 40)

2025/01/30

Tailored Swift

2024/11/08

Craig McKeown, known as Coog on the forum (and on the admin team) joins Andy, Ross and Gary to talk about two decades of track cars and tinkering. Craig's owned over 100 cars, his trackday Swift a regular appearance, but what about his MX5 he had for 9 years, painted four different colours and fitted an AliExpress Turbo? Or an epic family E39 M5 resto? We also talk ring and RMS Anglesey track trips, and prototyping using 3D printing. Craig does it all, and we were mightily impressed. Hosted on Acast.

Just the Right Amount of Power

2024/01/24

Is the BMW I5 M60 worth north of £100k? Or a 520d over 50k? What are your rituals just before you start driving (and some climate control madness). And what's just the right amount of power?
