| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Intercooler podcast, everybody, episode 312 of the Intercooler podcast. |
| 0:09.6 | That's the podcast powered by Car Finance Specialist JBR Capital. |
| 0:14.6 | This week, I want this to be a fun one. |
| 0:17.4 | I want this to be light and enjoyable and entertaining. |
| 0:20.5 | Well, after last week's. Last week's was a little bit morose, wasn't it? This week we're talking about |
| 0:25.6 | the joy of road trips, which if you love cars, it's perhaps the most fun that you can have |
| 0:32.5 | with a car. Andrew, you've done plenty of fun road trips. I'm sure you'll tell us about some of them. |
| 0:39.2 | We are joined again by Jess Medinger, who, if you don't know who |
| 0:44.5 | Jez is, we introduced him a couple of episodes ago, episode 310. |
| 0:51.2 | Yes. |

| 1:47.0 | What are the sensations? |
| 1:48.4 | What is it about a road trip that makes them such fun, so enjoyable? |
| 1:54.0 | Maybe we'll share some advice for anyone who's planning a road trip. |
| 1:59.4 | Maybe we'll talk about how they can go wrong |
| 2:01.5 | and what happens when road trips do go wrong |
| 2:03.6 | I just want to try and define a road trip |
| 2:08.3 | or set out how it is different to a long car journey |
| 2:12.7 | yeah and are we drawing a distinction |
| 2:15.9 | between road trips done for work and road trips done for pleasure? |
