As well as the car discussions (I'm always learning), so nice to spend time with this interesting and diverse group of guys. Good to see other aspects of Chris H than the laddishness and much guffawing that TG seems to require; amiable Ed (it has been said that those who don't cry at music haven't yet suffered enough); thoughtful, intelligent and endlessly interesting Manish; Neil who seems to show more facets each week and Chris C who holds the whole thing in balance and always has a different angle on the topics. I suspect that more work goes into crafting this seemingly effortless podcast than we realise.

Steve McQueen was riding a Husqvarna, not a Bultaco, but more impressive was that the little boy doing the wheelie was called Jeff Ward. He became a legend in supercross in the US and went on to race Indy Cars. Great choice of vehicle but I think it was Mirt who drove the van. I love the film. Sorry to be an anorak.

The VeilSide RX-7 in Tokyo Drift is such an iconic car and it features in the most exciting moments in the entire franchise. It has all the ingredients for a legendary film appearance: striking colours, attractive shape, mouth-watering engine noise, and a heroic driver inside. It was a window for children in European countries to see into the Japanese tuner culture.

Neil was correct on the Alpina Roadster S being manual, from Wikipedia: Interestingly for a modern Alpina automobile, the Roadster S did away with the Switch Tronic automatic transmission and has a close ratio 6-speed manual transmission built by ZF Friedrichshafen. The decision to replace the automatic transmission was primarily made to make the car more engaging to drive. This move was lauded by the purists and resulted in a positive response.[6]

Shout out to the 456. As a fellow owner of a low miles example, make sure to do the hoses of cooling, brakes+caliper piston seals, fuel system+pumps (Ferrari has a full package called premium certification) as those rubber parts will be done after 25 years, especially with the new fuels. After this and a few fixes (sticky parts, windows) they really are like new and one of the last analogue feeling Ferraris with the 550. Rear seats are nice and deep and I cannot get over how the engine bay looks. What people don’t expect with this discrete car is that it really rewards you once you get on it more and more. Insane value too.

As a former PR guy, JLR as a corporate name has existed in China for years and with even more confusion. Firstly there is "Jaguar Land Rover China", which is the local division of JLR, which abbreviates as "JLRC". And there is the joint venture company formed between JLR and Chery(local brand) to produce JLR cars in China called "Chery Jaguar Land Rover", whic abbreviates as "CJLR". And there is a centralized organization called "Jaguar Land Rover China and Chery Jaguar Land Rover Integrated Marketing Sales and Service", which abbreviates as "IMSS". I swear I am not making this up. If you google "捷豹路虎中国与奇瑞捷豹路虎联合市场销售与服务机构", which is its full Chinese name, you can find loads of official press releases.

The worst thing about leather is when synthetic leather tries to copy. The worst example of this was the launch edition of the Renault 5. (1972) The interior was very high gloss and the respective launch body colours were Bright Orange and Lime Green with matching interiors. I used to sell Renault in those days and it was a first when a lady, interested in the Lime Green car declined to purchase as she couldn’t find a matching handbag.

Chris is in his race suit and flat cap with a big grin on his face. Not only is Harris sporting two pints of lager, he has a smoke on the go, all at the same time. Legend status achieved.

Leathers seats have been available with heat-reflective treatments which make them not heat up in the sun. I had that in my 2009 E88 BMW 1-series. Not the best quality leather in the sense that they felt like plastic, and were very stiff and thick (but were in fact genuine leather). But they really didn't heat up almost at all, so in that sense they worked as promised! I do support the cloth (or silk!) interior camp though overall.
