Paddy has been cruising around his town in a Citroen Ami, Mark has been on tour with Skoda Epiq, Peaq and the VW ID. Polo and we talk to OHME chargers about their benefits if you're looking for a home charger for your new EV! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Eskimo is software that pulls online enquiries straight from listing sites into one system so sales teams can act on them properly. We speak to CEO Conor Moran on how the platform is changing the way car dealers in Ireland can do business. After the horrific M9 road accident, we talk about what can be soon quickly and what needs further explanation. And with future classic cars seemingly becoming less and less of a thing due to EVs and highly modern systems in everyday cars, we discuss what cars currently or recently on sale in 2026 could someday become a desirable set of wheels to own! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we're joined by Dave Humphreys who is not only one of Ireland's busiest motoring journalists but a seasoned motorcyclist who has been lucky enough to ride a lot of two wheeled things in his career! He has been trained in advanced riding and is here to chat about being on the road from the perspective of a motorcyclist but also as a car driver. Mark has recently progressed through the Initial Bike Training (IBT) scheme which is mandatory in Ireland and is regulated by the RSA and gives his perspective on how he found the training as someone who until just a few weeks ago, had never ridden motorcycles. Paddy asks the important questions and tries to uncover some of the issues that both motorcyclist and motorists need to be aware of during yet another particularly tragic spell on Irish roads. Please be considerate to motorcyclists on the roads and remember, particularly when pulling out of junctions in your car, look right, look left and look right again. Hosted on Acast.
