Скачать или смотреть Quick Hands vs Mustangs; Brains & Shifting; Emira Review - TST Podcast

On this episode Matt and I are driving TO the Lotus factory IN a Lotus Emira.

We give our take on the cars, events, and cost of Goodwood. Then we discuss the pros and alarming cons of the hale bale safety system.

Plus, roundabouts versus stop signs, and a somewhat scientific breakdown of our personal difficulties driving from the right-hand seat.

Lastly we answer Patreon questions regarding: which car we would drive up the Goodwood Hill, why “quick hands” won’t save Mustangs from Cars and Coffee mishaps; the Ineos Grenadier; which UK cars caught our eye; the deal with eggs; which 2+2 delivers a “roadster-like” experience, and more!

Oh, and I (Zack) pronounce Al-peen wrong, despite pronouncing it correctly a month ago. I’ll blame the lack of sleep.
