Summary

Jonny reads an extract from Tiff Needell's autobiography through a vocoder and Richard gets annoyed by stupid claims in car ads. Plus, cars you always associate with a certain colour, the three week warranty on red Fiats, what the end of the rave era meant for yellow cars, Cher's poor Volkswagen maintenance, why Madonna hates power steering, the race-winning power of Brut after shave, 1980s cocaine car chases, the secrets of The Fall Guy truck, and using car names as Cockney insults.
