Topics covered include big American coffees, a real-life ghetto Boxster sighting, taking the Porsche methadone, seeing a sweet, sweet Prelude, the front licence plate laws of US states, nocturnal pressure washing, not liking gulls, American legal driving ages, the glories of a Porsche paint to sample swatch pack, Jonny’s sudden need for OTSOT man, central locking shenanigans, an ill-fated Top Gear reasonably priced car, the Mazda CX-90 and Kia Seltos, the price of second hand cars in Britain, Thierry Boutsen’s flag haul and a real life sighting of Jerry Seinfeld.

it all, light and breezy, ah, the sweet feeling of whizzing past traffic.

Make your train journey via vantewescoast.co.uk, a vantewescoast, feel good, travel.

those, but not all of it.

1:53.0
