Mark Thompson, Fords, a smelly Scimitar and teaching Mum to drive. Season 2 Episode 1

My Dad's Car

Jon and Andy are joined by Andy's friend Mark Thompson for the first episode of season 2.
Mark and Andy are friends through a shared interest in old VWs and Porsches.
The discussion starts with Mark's earliest car memory, a Reliant Scimitar that smelt of fuel, it then gets deep into old Fords: Mk2 Escorts, a Lotus Cortina, a Sierra Cosworth (or Cotsworlds, as his Grandad called it) and plenty of tales of his Mum and close calls with a tree and a closed garage door whilst learning to drive. His Grandparents get plenty of mentions and his Grandmother had a very special way of keeping her cars shiny...Pledge!
Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did recording it. It's packed with treats, you may even need to listen more than once.
Recorded by zoom.
