Summary

Jonny and Richard remember the racing career of Andrew Ridgeley. Also in this episode, trying to remember the plot of Shaft, a towel-based dilemma, a John Wick theory from someone who’s never seen any of the John Wick films, news about Volvo’s decision to stop selling saloons and estates in the UK, a trip to depreciation corner, the problem with the new Toyota Land Cruiser, the cockroach car favoured by a professional mechanic, a K11 Micra doing a Morgan Aero 8 impression, the wonderful world of Kei cars, life in flip flops, a Timothy Dalton XK8, more news from headlight renouncers, the surprisingly large range of Brut products, and does that make sense?
