Geoff Buys Cars

IAN & GEOFF’S BIG ADVENTURE… We took a day out to visit Lakes Autos, the well known Volvo breaker, and then The Shuttleworth Collection.

Join us for three Podcast Chats and three detailed videos.

We’ll be taking a look at my new purchase, then taking a long walk around Lakes Autos and discussing how some of the cars got there, even delving into the MOT history of the cars piled up. After that we’re off for lunch at Shuttleworth, to enjoy a relaxed afternoon walk around the hangers full of aeronautical history. There’s some superb planes and cars, and a few beautiful buses too. Enjoy!

I think this is a pretty explosive podcast... Join Geoff and Adrian in the camper van to ask if we are doing policing all wrong. Let's understand how a speeding ticket radicalised Adrian, look at why the UK policing system victimises the innocent and ask if there's another way.

It's a long one, but hopefully you'll be as riveted by what Adrian has to say as I was...!

Here you'll find all the links to this detailed podcast with Adrian Ward, QPM.

Dr Mike Yeadon doesn't need too much introduction, but you might not know that he's a motorbike and car fan who's recently been shopping for a new car... Geoff and Mike sat down in an old Volvo to chat about all things motoring, and to go over some of the big subjects too.
