Essential listening/ viewing. In 1986, my dad had an E28 M535i (with the dog leg 5speed). To this day I remember the Blaupunkt New York SQR 82. I thought it was the coolest buttonfest ever.
My Dad had a Blaupunkt Memphis SQR 88. I remember this in 1992 onwards (vaguely, as I was 3). He added a separate Blaupunkt CDP-09, single DIN, single slot CD player which he had to buy a separate plastic carrier from Halfords (or similar) and mount that under the dashboard, so fit the CD player in to. I loved this, it was genuinely upsetting when it eventually got retired. I remember in being in his white, A reg Escort Estate with the CARTRIDGES for the single CDs to sit inside of, sitting on the floor of the car under the heating vents to warm them up because if too cold, the CD player unit would show an error because of condensation. Great days.
0:49:00 When Neil started talking about Bristol (the car builder) LJKS came straight to mind - he was always an aficionado of the marque, and thank you Neil for reciting a passage of his.
Got to draw your attention to Texarkana, it’s where Smokey and the Bandit bootlegged the Coors beer from! Mentioned in the “East bound and down” track from the film score by Jerry Reed (I think!) 🚙💨 🚚🚓🚓🚓🚓
I used to love the 80s Hi Fi's that had buttons and lights and you had to have a Graphic Equalizer with the LED lights that would change with the music. Great times. As far as drving shoes goes, they have to be narrow for the pedals in the lot of cars, so I use some Puma trainers as I found my normal trainers used to rub against each other. Great chat as ever.
Nipped out to the shops last summer in the Atom and couldn't be arsed swapping sandals for sparco shoes. Got my foot stuck under the brake pedal long enough to shit myself and will never make the same mistake again. Some pedal boxes are so tight even a pair of size 10 trainers are too big. Thanks for the great podcast fellas.
I’m not tall - 5’11 or 181cm - but I am possessed of unusually large feet (UK13). As a result, I find it quite difficult to drive older hot hatches (they seem particularly prone to simian driving positions courtesy of packaging limitations I suppose). My Peugeot GTi6 is a cracking thing to drive, though only if I take my shoes off!
Music track, Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf. A Shell advert from the 80's where a chap is filling his 944, looking at clear empty roads around him as the day has broken, with the remains of morning dew still glistening on the tarmac. He sees the realisation of the time & place, enters the garage to pay for his petrol and buys a cd off the rack, adorns his shades once back in the car and heads out, there is a shot of the front wheel of the 944 as he is about to get on the road, one last check and then the music starts as he blasts off. I loved that advert and then the song. I tried to replicate in my 1980 TR7 in the day and it just didn't work :)
Glad to see the description mentions they know about the sound issues. It annoys me when I'm on my daily walk listening to this and after turning up the volume loud enough to hear the quietest voices I get deafened by the loudest. Audio normalisation/compression is required.
Good to hear Bristol talk. I sold aluminium to Bristol Cars Filton in the '60/70's and would often see company owner Anthony Crook test driving prototypes, always with reg 100MPH and MPH100.
Chris! Check out the Onitsuka Tiger Serrano. Its the successor to the Ultimate 81 and i think will definitely do the trick for you. I rock em since the 81s have been gone.
Until a few weeks ago, I had a collection of vintage car radios, from Becker & Blaupunkt, Autovox, Philips, even an auto Mignon, just sold the lot (about 40) apart from the ones in my own cars, which are all 60/70’s Blaupunkt.. Frankfurt BMW badged in my 2002.
Post disappears, possibly due a link. Anyway as I was saying...I hankered after a Nakamichi head unit but settled on the legendary Apline 7909 with its 4v pre outs. I had a raft of head units over the years until I bought the 1 series(123D). Flip front Kenwood's where it rotated into the unit and even Mini Disc at one point (Still a great format) Finally gave up on retrofit car audio. (Indeed it could do with up grading even in the M140 I now have) Best audio I have seen this month was in a Tickford Mini on car and classic. It had a Clarion G80 seperates system. Power amp, tape deck and a pre amp/Equaliser. Awesome.
@@weaksignal8009 Hmmm, definitely better than the Audio Cassette, which is what i always thought it should have been marketed as a replacement for not the CD. Still a great format.
I must have been 8 or so when I first saw the Audi A8 with those popup Bang and Olufsen tweeters. It's almost a common thing now but back in 2006 it completely blew my mind and has stayed with me ever since. Edit: posted this comment before finishing but it was one of Edwards.
I have a Blaupunkt Casablanca CM62 (the ones with the security card) which my dad bought for his passat 35i early 1990's, after the car got sold the radio got put in the bathroom and was used for the better part of 20 years as a cheap radio on a daily basis. One day I thought about it and removed it from said bathroom and replaced it with the Sony Xplod I had in my 1986 golf mk2 gti, I've now had that car for 14 years and that radio still works! Sadly the GTI and the radio will be for sale on collecting cars soon. The Radio still looks good because dad had put a power button next to the radio so you could turn it on without having to touch it.
extraneous eloquent fixation. I love this podcast. just watched the Senna NSX vid..can anyone explain his unique throttle applications early-mid corner? he had a very individual style.
I'm with Chris on the higher end Alpine stereos, had one that moved from car to car with me until it was stolen from Gatwick airport car park. As for driving shoes I hate to say I have two pairs of speedcats, one Porsche branded one Mercedes AMG but actually rarely bother, finding the best thing for 'feel' as anything with a thin sole and minimal edge - if you want to try something unusual try the Vibrant Furoshiki...
Great podcast as always lads. Almost dare not admit it, but my Dad had some driving gloves (well, it was the 1960s). Glad the sound quality is improved. I know Chris H is the host, but why does his head look so much bigger than everyone elses? Some pictures would be good along the way for those of us with less knowledge.
I did wear a race suit to a track day but it was an aeroscreen Caterham in late October and I would happily have worn every piece of clothing I could find 🥶
i forgot whats brand of hifi system, but i just love car hifi units have equalizer, 16 band eq, and some little dim green or orange light , it looks awesome at night.
I’ll add my “why I bought a car story.” In 1968 my uncle gave me a Fenton dual carb intake manifold for a p15 Plymouth, but I didn’t own one. Years late when eBay came around I planned to sell it, having moved it from apartment to house to house over the years. Within about a month while driving around the state of Michigan I drove by three P15 Plymouths for sale. Upon arriving back home I said to my wife, God does things in threes and I’ve seen three cars for this manifold. So it must be a sign that I should buy a car rather than sell the manifold. So I bought a car and started restoring it and 10 years later I still have it and enjoy driving it on tours and to car shows.
As for the top car audio, and in the era of the Alpine 7618R would be the Kenwood KRC-957R, the genuine Mask with steel motorised panel to hide the front, it was also sold with free 1 year insurance that if it was stolen they would replace it for free, at the time in 1993ish it was £950 with cd changer, not cheap, and mine will be going back in my 309 Goodwood.
2 car garage would be a 2016 Alpina D3 3.0 touring, one for sale now on auto trader for £23999 and a 1990 Golf Rallye one for sale now £35k.... smashed it....
Car design....it wasn't always thus (that we had to 'get used' to new designs). 2002 to E21 everyone was very excited, and rightly so. E21 to E30 even more so. E12 to E28...fantastic, E23 to E32 the same...I could go on, but you get my drift. I just think that BMW design has gone down the pan , and to me Bangles horrors haven't improved with age. Don't even get me started on the saggy arsed Z3 (Nagashima). Car stereo....in my BMW days the Blaupunkt Berlin was the ultimate with the graphic equaliser on a stalk...hugely expensive. Mid Eighties Alpine was the way to go. 7618R was the nuts (as you said Chris). We fitted quite a few of these at the time in new BMW's.
Perhaps BMW has a management/marketing problem and not necessarily a design one. They build those dog awful behemoths for the Chinese market and then they shove them in European showrooms to make money for designing 46 almost SUVs. Just keep the markets distinct.
Chris cooper hit the nail on the head, the BMWs are not ugly per say but elelgence has been lost broadly across the market. maybe a space jaguar ca move into. elegant luxury.
On the off-chance you blokes are taking suggestions from the audience for future segments, may I suggest "your favourite car journalist" as a subject. Obviously, it will be someone who's older than yourselves; a quote or two from them to illustrate their mastery of the craft would go a long way too. I'd nominate LJKS (a bit recondite) and Russell Bulgin. Over to you...
I love these, but please when they say they'll pop the photos on screen, do so. I usually have no idea what you're talking about so a visual would be helpful. It would make the podcast way more approachable
The problem with Le Mans is that no really cares for a 24 hour race anymore? They would be better having it set to 3 hours of individual class cars not all racing at the same time imo?
Casual Piloti shoes look nice, feel nice and are not oversized like most sneakers. Do not get the hate. I love driving in winter but hate it at the same time because most winter boots are too big.
great show guys if I had the chance to ask you guys a question it would be, When you were growing up what car did you lust after but would not be seen dead in today lol.
I have some Kurt Geiger driving loafers. On the inside it has some suede panels and one side says “left foot breaker “ embossed in it. Someone should have translated that better!
The nerd level has just gone up a notch. Need to read up on classic Becker head units. For me, the best looking head unit, or most memorable, was whatever was the first single din Pioneer in early 2000s with a flip out screen. My mind was blown. Also, McLaren 570s B&W speakers look epic.
Very sage thoughts from the team esp Neil Getting use to the new, and certainly the car is prob better But current Bmw front styling is horrid, inelegant is being kind ! The back catalogue is good looking cars the current is not good looking at all can not see looking better with time!
I loved my Alpine stereos too , I had my AX GT all kitted out alpine head unit Alpine 5 ch amp 6x9 infinity speakers Alpine sub All that kit probably weighed more than the car 😂😂
Really need to get photos up of the things you’re talking about guys
Yeah, a pretty far-fetched and ridiculous subject to talk about...and then not even bothering with any visuals...
Like Carmudgeon does. This looks like a cheap rip off and audio needs upgrade.

Great work as always. Thank you!
Guys, you seem to have sorted the sound out in each persons location and the lighting. G’stuff.
Brilliant content
Nakamichi early stereos along with Alpine made some superb car stereos 👌🏻
Was always an alpine man when I had to put my own stereos in my cars
Until a few weeks ago, I had a collection of vintage car radios, from Becker & Blaupunkt, Autovox, Philips, even an auto Mignon, just sold the lot (about 40) apart from the ones in my own cars, which are all 60/70’s Blaupunkt.. Frankfurt BMW badged in my 2002.

It had to be Kenwood or Alpine.....with Alpine just nudging it .... 👍
The frontal area of the new M2 looks like it was taken straight out of NFSU2.
All those stereos are available on E Bay, while watching the video I am pausing and having a look. That Sony unit is sexy.
That extract that Neil read out was fucking brilliant
I’ve still got an Alpine 7525r head unit that hasn’t been in a car for 20 odd years.
Best intro to any song is White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.

Jensen R410 head unit - circa 1980
Sperry canvas boat shoes
Alpine 7944 also a sensational unit with a copper chassis. Although you can't see it! Unfortunately
I think I still have one somewhere. Saving it for when I get something from the 80s or 90s to go in
Not knowing Texarkana is an actual place? Neil letting the best in life pass him by - "East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'"

Ah ok! Chris said it. But remember Ford with the separate equaliser in the mid 80s.
One of my issues with the M2 is it just keeps getting bigger and heavier.
Very sage thoughts from the team esp Neil
