Despite our lack of new content for a month or two, it's been lovely to still have people tuning in and discovering what we are all about.

Equally, the recording has continued and there's even been a bit of editing too - Season 7 is in progress!

For now though, allow us to entertain you with details of our recent trip to Goodwood Revival. A great event, with brilliant historic racing.

This prompts a discussion on the 100th episode (we're currently on 86) and Andy being the guest on the show... However Jon suggests we should get Jenson, or Ian Wright!!

We hope you enjoy this bit of chatter, and please sit tight for season 7 dropping this side of Christmas... hopefully October 2025.

We're joined for this episode by guest co-host Paul Harding.

Paul is a previous guest, and was featured on S4 E4.

Today's actual guest is Gary Handa.

He's currently working with Sporting Bears supporting their marketing and media activity.

His parents are both Doctors, and came to this county from India with only a small amount of cash in their pockets. Gary is rightfully very proud of what they made of themselves, and equally, the pride he remembers his father having when he bought his 1976 Mercedes, brand new, outright.

His first memory is a VW 411 Estate, a now very rare aircooled VW with a rear engine and front boot area. They were the Passat of the day.

Gary's Mum had a brown Mercedes estate when he was a teenager, and he used to dress up in his dad's shirt and tie, and take it for a drive whilst his parents were at work. They eventually cottoned on, when the trip odometer wasn't reset to zero after his activities!

We go on to talk about previous cars of Gary's and then whether he'd like to repeat any of his parent's choices... which leads us on to his next purchase - an Audi TT diesel, or a BMW 3 series!

Prepare your ears for 10 minutes or so of bonus MDC content based around car parking…

After a recent trip to the town centre, Andy’s found the multi-storey carpark now demands you pay in advance rather than upon return to your vehicle. It’s a cash grab, and a pain in the backside!

Jon’s pet parking peeve is people leaving shopping trolleys in the spaces, we discuss whether you should be able to pay for a trolley by card, and even if the cattle grid ‘anti theft’ system used to keep trolleys in their place could be used in schools, perhaps with special shoes like the bowling alley.

Coincidentally, where are all these shoes now?!!

Lastly, we talk about rubbish being thrown from cars, something Jon suggests should be punished by a 3 day stint in the clink.

Hope you enjoy this one, see you next week for a usual ‘full’ episode.
