Dedication is what you need. And a trumpet. And this episode of Car-Chum, where Tony and Mike the-car-journo truffle out 'interesting' automotive record breakers. Don't expect the usual stats...

Road Trippin' - No G

Send Car-Chum a Text
This week on Car-Chum's Car Share quickie update, more continental road tripping, Bonneville record tribute and a cat in a sphere. Catchy, eh? Add wet timing belts for good measure, too. It makes more sense as you plough through the episode.

This week: a 'New' Range Rover and Actually New Citroen C3.
2025/12/25
Send Car-Chum a Text
CarShare quickie: more driveway congestion at Tony's, a quick excursion to the Sahara and Mike's mate splashes the cash on a C3. In truth, the episode is probably more interesting than that, but better to under-sell and over-deliver, surely?

Rules, Rules, Rules: The Madness of ULEZ and Tax
2025/07/31
Send Car-Chum a Text
One in, one out: that's Car-Chum's new mantra. Not Tony and his Car-Chum, Mike, obvs - rules! Make a new one; get rid of an old one. And please, please, please make sense of Road Tax and City Emissions rules; they're both madly complex and self-defeating.
If you read that, you just saved yourself 27 minutes of listening.
