Bonus Episode: Cockney Rhyming Slang for Car Names...
Join us for a 5 minutes of bonus chat about utilizing Cockney Rhyming Slang in reference to vehicles of the past.
A VW Jetta could be a Red Setter, a Hans Solo a VW Polo, a Nelson and Winnie a Mini.
Trying to get further ideas we turned to Chat GPT, but sadly the magic of rhyming slang is lost on AI, and its suggestions were all laughable for the wrong reasons... Pretty pony and trap to be honest.

My Dad's Car
Andy and Jon have discussions with invited guests about their personal relationships with automotive nostalgia.
Each episode kicks of by us asking “what’s your earliest car memory?”
From there it’s a journey back through time towards the modern day, but generally focusing on vehicles we remember from childhood.
We ask about music, smells, smoking, breakdowns, selling, buying, accidents and more.
Despite the podcast title, we don’t discriminate against cars belonging to other people, such as Mum’s, Gran’s, Uncle’s, Aunts, friends, or even a neighbours.
If it made an impression, we want to talk about it.Likewise, this isn't a 'dead Dad's' podcast, but we do like to remember those who have passed, and have found it to be therapeutic to speak about our late Fathers whilst recording these shows.
