It's back to the weird world of second-hand cars on Facebook Marketplace this week, with a Fiat Multipla which has been given a dubious paint-job and a Proton Jumbuck which thinks its a Mitusbishi Evo I.
Plus, the punk music and motoring crossover we've been waiting for!

Trapped in the yawning chasm between Christmas and New Year, we've decided to ditch the bizarre world of second-hand cars on Facebook Marketplace to watch F1 The Movie instead. You know, six months after it was first out.
Along the way, we discuss the surprising parallels between this and Driven (see Ep. 4), an eyebrow-raising amount of rampant cheating, and whether Sonny Hayes was even eligible for an FIA Super Licence.

Christmas week brings us two Fords in the form of an XR3i Cabriolet restoration project where life has got in the way and an incredibly rare Mondeo SI Citrine, which turns out to be far more interesting than we ever expected.
Plus, a list of Ford Scorpio insults and managing to get through almost the entire podcast without mentioning Christmas.

This week, we look at a Fiat Barchetta which has arrived in the UK from Italy via Japan and seemingly not moved since it got here, along with the amusingly bonkers Daihatsu YRV Turbo 130.

This week, Facebook Marketplace pitches us into the world of ridiculously overpowered executive saloons with a Ford Scorpio Cosworth and a Citroen CX Turbo.

It's something of a TV special this week as Facebook Marketplace serves up a Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am modified to look like KITT out of off of KnightRider and a Reliant Rialto in the style of Del Boy's three-wheeler.
Plus, a ludicrously convoluted competition Duckhams ran in 1991 to win a Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4x4.

It's something of a TVR special this week following the news Blackpool's iconic automotive brand is set to finally return to the roads.
We look at a Tuscan which has apparently been looked after better than most children and a Cerbera which it's claimed once belonged to Britain's foremost retailer of marital aids, plus pay tribute to the maverick genius of Peter Wheeler.

On this week's episode, we argue about the merits of a Vauxhall VX220 which has been in an accident, ponder the point of what is widely considered one of the worst cars of all time, and find out about the small part the girl from A-Ha's 'Take On Me' video played in British automotive history.

This week, the discovery of a 21-year-old Top Gear Magazine supplement leads us down the rabbit hole of the Volkswagen Polo Harlequin, where we find other VWs which have been been modified with a similar design.
This leaves us with two questions: 1) Why, and 2) no seriously, why?

This week, we take a trip back in time to 1984 and Central Television's coverage of that year's British International Motorshow at the NEC, and somehow spend nearly 40 minutes talking about a 32-minute video we found on YouTube.
Believe us when we say there is A LOT to unpack here.

This week, a Honda Prelude with some funky hydraulics and a Toyota Celica with an unusual bonnet modification. Both of which have been completely and utterly ruined.
We promise these are the last Japanese cars for a while.

On this week's episode, we look at a Toyota MR2 and a Mazda MX5 which have been modified to look like a Ferrari F355 and a 250 GTO, for some unfathomable reason.
Along the way, we find out why Ryan sold his MKII MR2, learn how F355s kept catching fire, and wonder why you'd swap any of these for a Jeep Wrangler.

It's an actual case of baby forces sale on this week's episode with a Daihatsu Copen plus a rare example of what was once the cheapest car on sale in Britain, the Perodua Nippa AKA the Perodua Kancil.
We also get to experience the greatest car advert ever made and speculate about how a small-time Burton Latimer salesman managed to become the official dealer for a Malaysian automotive titan.

It's back to normal on Baby Forces Sale this week, so obviously we've got a Vauxhall Omega hearse fitted with a jet engine and a replica of one of the maddest Group B rally cars to ever see the light of day, the Metro 6R4, to run the rule over.

On this week's podcast, we take a look at an episode of the 1994 BBC TV documentary series 'From A to B' which examines the strange rituals and disturbing subculture of sales reps and their company cars.
Along the way, we learn how to negotiate around company car policy with your fleet manager, discover how many Shell points it takes to get a free colour television, and ponder what a No. 70 on the Little Chef menu might have been.
