My Dad's Car : Nostalgic cars of our childhoodAuthor: Andy Gregory and Jon Recknell
Join Andy and Jon, two friends who have discussions with invited guests about their personal relationships with automotive nostalgia and family history. Each episode kicks off with us asking our guest whats your earliest car memory?From there its a journey back through time towards the modern day, but generally focusing on vehicles we remember from childhood.We ask about siblings, neighbours, music, smells, smoking, breakdowns, selling, buying, accidents and more. Despite the podcast title, we dont discriminate against cars belonging to other people, such as Mums, Grans, Uncles, Aunts, friends, or even a neighbours. If those cars made an impression, we want to talk about them.

Episode 1
Monday, 3 November, 2025
Send us a textWe’re joined by car designer and writer Andy Plumb for the first episode of the long awaited season 7. Andy (host) wanted to be a car designer growing up so hearing from Andy Plumb as to how he made his dream a reality, was fascinating.It turns out, writing a letter to Ford asking how he should make it happen; and Ford replying with a step by step guide was just what he needed! We talk about Ford Sierras, Citroen 2cVs, Reliant Robin’s and the Morgan Super 3 and spotting cars on the motorway by just their headlights - a game our Andy used to play on long journeys too. We hope you enjoy this one, and stay tuned for more great stories in Season 7.
