Car-Chum's Junkyard Geese

Pick up a Pickup

Simply the Best...Road Car
9/21/2023
If you set the rules and make up your own criteria, you can argue anything with this one. As Tony and Mike ably prove in this edition, there are so many parameters for what makes a truly great road car.
The Chums mange to agree on quiet a few in the end though – even a winner. Of sorts. So download a copy, pop it in the 8-Track, cassette deck or CD changer and relax to the sounds of Car-Chum.

Welcome to the Jumble (Beaulieu Autojumble Show Coverage Special)
9/4/2023
Car-Chum doesn't do Special Editions; we leave to Peugeot and Ford in 1992. If we did though, this episode would be one such example. And so much more than just a tilt-only glass sunroof to make it special. Join Tony and Mike at the Beaulieu Autojumble 2023 as they rummage for treasure with Matt Richardson from Furious Driving, Steph from Lancaster Insurance (and I Drive a Classic, of course), Danny Hopkins of Practical Classics fame. The Chums also get a guided tour of the Autojumble from Beaulieu's Ben Coleman. Oh - and they also ride the Monorail. Well, it'd be rude not to.
