The Motoring Podcast

The dog and I can't go out for a walk, and are bored out of our brains. Pick a year '79-'87, and a brand, and I'll post it.

Looks like we fluffed the details when talking about the Smart #2 in this week's Special Edition. Sorry about that, everyone. PS. This is how you point out mistakes. Respectfully and like a grown up. But then, we do have THE best listeners.

We have another Special Edition out! We chat about the Paris Motor Show and some of the cars that were there. Hope you enjoy it! Check out the links in the show notes. To 👂 via streaming click 👉 www.motoringpodcast.com/episodes/202... To 👂 via other services click 👉 mpnewsshow.captivate.fm/listen

M'collegue, @ajpbradley.bsky.social, blesses us with his presence this week on the News Show. He has "a theory" about one story - having heard it, I agree. We also have a quiz for you, thanks to one person. I get more excited about the third New New Car News, erm, car than the other two.

Tonight, 8pm in the UK, lots of EV talk, with a chance to ask us about our almost 3k mile, one week trip around the UK in a small, affordable EV. See you there! 👍

In case you missed it, we are back with a News Show. Its a day early and only with one presenter, but APART from that, just as normal. There's even a story to get Andrew angry. Just like old times......

We are back, a day early and a presenter short, but here is a News Show, after a two week abscence. You can't get compo when you haven't lost anything. Help with FOMO. To 👂 via streaming click 👉 www.motoringpodcast.com/episodes/202... To 👂 via other services click 👉 mpnewsshow.captivate.fm/listen

If you enjoyed the @motoringpodcast.com's epic #rechargeroundbritain but thought they used two too many wheels, you'll love this from #Maeving #motorcycle #motosky #MaevingRM1S

Update: There will no News Show this week, we're afraid. There is a lot going on outside the podcast and we're a bit tired. After a week full of content, you've probably had enough of us anyway! We're back next week, albeit a day early, so do keep an eye out for that.

11 months ago I visited the "Fine Art on Wheels" temporary expo. I wrote a thread and shared many pictures that you can see below. I promised I was going to write an article for my free newsletter and never did. Until today! Join for free not to miss it 👇 go.creatinglightly.art/2026-07-21.l...

Today may be the 90th anniversary of the Wienermobile. According to some unreliable sources (and the semi-reliable HuffPo), the first one rolled off the production line at the General Body Assembly plant in Chicago on 18 July 1936 🧵 www.huffpost.com/entry/my-rid...

Here’s a nice feature in the Inster nav - it gives a very clear display of your average speed through average speed cameras.

Sixth and final day, so we’ve left Fort William for Preston. Beautiful start to the day, and we have plenty of range to get to our first charging point.

One of us is editing a podcast. The other is taking photos of ferries and hills. This feels like a fair division of labour. 😬

The light on the Cromarty Firth is making up for the Kessock Bridge barriers…

I’d love to share the views of the Moray Firth this morning, but sadly the crash barrier of the Kessock Bridge had other ideas. 😔

M’collegue has treated me during this #RechargingRoundBritain with an I-Spy book! Many ticks have been made. (He hated me pointing out all the birds I spotted a decade ago, this is to shut me up).

Long day buzzing up the country, but compared to a decade ago, it was a joy. Good weather and fast, convenient chargers make the world of difference. #rrb #rechargeroundbritain #inster

Day 4 proper driving has begun. We make our way over the wall today. (Apologies for the rubbish photo)
