  • Mike Brewer from TV Wheeler Dealers: My Dad built custom cars, and even modified his diesel Ford S-Max S7 E3 Recorded at NEC Classic Car Show
    Send us a textIt was a real pleasure to sit down with the legend that is Mike Brewer at the NEC Classic Car Show. We recorded this live, in front of lots of people, so please excuse the blip in sound quality - we've done the best with what we had. Things start off with a real 'one off' hat flying out the car and back in again earliest car memory, before we hear about the custom cars his Dad built, including the Ford Pop called 'Pinball Wizard' which has been replicated a number of times in tribute.  In later life Mike recounts the tale of sourcing a sensible car for his Dad to drive his Mum around in. He delivers a Ford S-Max, but his Dad isn't impressed. However, it only takes a few miles and he's smitten, a few months later he's modified it... lowered on split rim wheels, carbon bonnet and mirrors! He just can't stop it!! We hope you enjoy this episode, and please do take a moment to look up Mikes TV program Born Dealer which we reference a number of times whilst chatting. A big thanks to our new podcast sponsor Viking Covers.If you are looking for quality and customizable indoor or outdoor vehicle covers please go check them out. www.vikingcovers.co.ukWe'll be telling you more about these guys soon - stay tuned.Support the showWe’d love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you’d like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee’ which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom.

  • Ian Cook - Pop Bang Colour: Metro, Meastro, Vauxhall Chevette, Car Designer Uncle worked for Rover, Scalextric for Xmas S7 E2
    Send us a textWe’re joined by automotive artist Ian Cook this week. Better known as Pop Bang Colour, he produces artwork using model cars instead of brushes, and has created paintings at motoring events for almost 20 years. He even painted a giant Lewis Hamilton for Reebok, earning a Guinness World Record in the process. In a similar fashion to last episode’s guest, Ian remembers identifying parts of cars from the back seat of his parents Metro, he could even work out a vehicle by its tail lights at night. They travelled to France in the Metro, but him and his brother had to be in separate cars to stop them fighting! His Uncle was a Car Designer for Rover, which meant the entire family had one… for cheap! His Uncle had the MG Metro Turbo. Another Uncle had a Chevette, which Ian now owns. Each Christmas they would go to the model shop to pick a new slot car. We hope you enjoy this one, please check out Ian’s work here. https://www.popbangcolour.comA big thanks to our new podcast sponsor Viking Covers.If you are looking for quality and customizable indoor or outdoor vehicle covers please go check them out. www.vikingcovers.co.ukWe'll be telling you more about these guys soon - stay tuned.Support the showWe’d love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you’d like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee’ which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom.

About My Dad's Car : Nostalgic cars of our childhood

Join Andy and Jon, two friends who have discussions with invited guests about their personal relationships with automotive nostalgia and family history. Each episode kicks off with us asking our guest “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 siblings, neighbours, 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 those cars made an impression, we want to talk about them.
