2 Men In A Motor

Al's new Fiesta, Si's dad-in-law dilemma over whether to buy an M8 or not, and the British GP.

Let's have it!!

One incident in this race overshadowed the whole weekend, but Al has a few more things to talk about !

Al is buying his new car from Ford again after much soul-searching and nearly going to BMW instead. He and Si compare and contrast the service they have received from their respective dealerships. 

Here's my reaction to the Spanish Grand Prix, impressively won by Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes.

In this episode I touch on:

1. Verstappen taking on Hamilton during Lap 1

2. Giovanazzi's pit stop

3. Tsunoda's car dying a death

4. Aston Martin underachieving again

5. Alonso finishing 17th

6. The decline of Ferrari

Thanks for listineing!!

Welcome back to 2 Men In A Motor!  As the lockdown lifts, we're making a comeback and this time we're here to stay.

In our first episode back we discuss new cars and the huge deposits you have to put down on them. Why is it more expensive to get into a Skoda than a BMW?

Search for us on Twitter and Instagram and get in touch!

Thanks!!

Si thinks Ferrari and Porsche have been lazy in their designs lately and build too many cars from one template. Al tends to agree and then goes on to make the point that maybe supercars have reached peak design?

Welcome back to Full Beam after our Christmas break and we're back with a discussion on what makes a sports car, a super car or a hyper car. 

Give us a listen and let us know if you agree or disagree - we're on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @fullbeamcars and our YouTube channel is called Full Beam.

Thanks!

Al and Si discuss a) the Tesla Truck - is it even viable in its' current form? b) Audi's lightning fast SUV - does it prove Si's point from last week that you should just buy a sports car instead? c) De-icing cars - this is actually more interesting than it sounds. Trust me. Please.

Al and Si discuss all things SUV, inspired by the new Aston Martin DBX. 

Do you agree with them or disagree? Get in touch on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram at @FullBeamCars

Al and Si chat about the Mexican GP, the 2021 rules changes and they then reminisce about their earliest memories of cars

It's the end of a long week and we just decided to have a chat about whatever came into our heads.

We think it went well.

Enjoy!

Al and Si ponder why police cars are so bad now and come up with ideas to get them back to their intimidating best. 

Welcome to our 30th episode!

Was the Focus a good replacement for the Escort? Was the Metro a bad replacement for the Mini? (Clue: YES. Yes it was) Listen here for our verdicts and much more!
