Bangers And Classics

Podcast by @bangernomics and @55th_Parallel. Now fallen into desuetude (whatever that means)

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

More details about #Bangerfest (or whatever we're calling it this week), presented by #Alias Smith and Jones:

Our annual awards ceremony;
Beard maintenance courses;
The B&C Ultimate car-finding challenge;
Sea shanties; and
The B&C Guide to LEZs.

Be there. Or be elsewhere.

@55th_Parallel @Bangernomics We tried to order cowboy outfits but thought better of it lest the postie should find himself having to deliver a selection of political parties to us.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

@55th_Parallel Strewth!

Time to break out the disguises and get DEFECTO-1 back on the road again.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

Sad to hear of the death of Tom Karen. His designs were loved by many.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

@TisI_LeClerc Thank you.

All the best to you and yours.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

We regret to inform listeners that James and David have been arrested and charged with crimes against podcasting.

In order to avert a five to ten (whichever comes first) year stretch, they have agreed not to produce any further podcasts.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

@CorriganMJ Alas, the application form was too hard for us to complete.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

James and David will return with a new project in 2023.

Meantime, we'd like to express our thanks to all who've listened to and interacted with the podcast.

Merry Christmas.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

They had hoped to forge a new career as loiterers but were dissuaded from so doing upon learning that it's not the sort of crime that brings in any money.

@munimula51 @Bertie23574627 It's 1978 for sure, Patrick's last year with Tyrrell before moving to Ligier.

@SimonMoffat7 @judith_sheen Thanks, Simon. The cheque's in the post.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

On behalf of @SimonMoffat7, the winner of the B&C quiz, donations have been made to The Salvation Army and The Donkey Sanctuary.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

@HiKennys @SimonMoffat7 @55th_Parallel @Bangernomics We've contacted a few to ask them if they knew of any similar charities but in mauve.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

@SimonMoffat7 @55th_Parallel @Bangernomics The thanks go to you, Simon.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

Sorry for the typo - the 'i' key on this keyboard has become ultrasensitive!

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

@SimonMoffat7 has elected not to claim his prize for winning the Bangers & Classics quiz. We shall instead make a donation to charity in Simon's name.

@SimonMoffat7 But surely you'd love an Elan M100 S2 in Palacio (purple to you and me)?

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

The Bangers & Classic quiz has been won by that great lover of purple cars, @SimonMoffat7.

Our hearty congratulations and a virtual Blankety Blank chequebook and pen go to him.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

@SimonMoffat7 Best not to. He'd, er, arrange it that he was awarded the damages plus a villa in Monte Carlo, a yacht, a selection of impeccably restored 80s and 90s cars, and a lifetime supply of the finest Belgian beer. Plus the expenses (costs, for viewers in England) of the case.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

The revised version does, however, appear on Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc. So not for the first time there are two different versions of the same episode out there.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

It's the Bangers & Classics Christmas podcast, featuring some sparkling (it says here – not that anyone will believe it) chat about films, film music, and cars.

We'll be back in 2023 if James and David have recovered from the B&C Christmas party by then.

Merry Christmas.

[Bangers And Classics @BangersClassics]

Oh, and a word about the quiz. No-one had entered it when we recorded the pod but a listener sent in his very good answers yesterday - too late to re-record the pod. A small section was added to it early this morning, too late for the You Tube edition.
