With Collecting Cars present at Bicester Scramble, our Addicts recount their many experiences at what they call "the best event for people like us", from a McLaren 'full house' to a Can-Am Lotus; variety was the word of the day.

Our Addicts share their favourite YouTube videos, including U2 at Live Aid, some French hillclimb POV & more!

Significant debate is triggered in this episode by the question: "what do we think of driving gloves?". With Edward Lovett providing a quasi-poetic understanding of how they may be used, and Manish Pandey being offered a pair by Bentley never to use them; opinions differ wildly.

It's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy episode 62 of the Collecting Addicts podcast.

JCB may have created a simple one-machine solution for potholes, but fixing them is bureaucratic hell at council level. Our Addicts discuss their universal frustrations on the topic.

BMW has posted the latest numbers on their EV sales and they seem to be doing better than anyone else.

Some of our Addicts have different approaches to dealing with life's inherent uncertainties, so some of them have more stories than the others about running out of fuel in interesting places!

All of this and more, on episode 61 of the Collecting Addicts podcast!

From the point-of-view of spectator or driver, our addicts discuss their favourite race circuits in the world, with some honourable mentions.

What is the best armrest in a car? Our armchair interior designers decide on their favourites: hard or soft, wide or thin, equipped with fridge boxes or 'non-American' - no detail is spared!

What is the best way to spend a long drive? Alone, with one's own thoughts, favourite music, or podcasts offers quality undisturbed time. On the other hand, company unlocks conversations that would otherwise seldom occur. Perhaps one would even prefer Manish's way of being chauffeured in silence, allowing full concentration on solving life problems?

This is episode 60 of the Collecting Addicts podcast, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
