About this listen

 The podcast dedicated to classic bangers - or clangers as we like to call them. Join Tom, Craig and Mike as they ponder the best and worst elements of clanger ownership and driving. Nothing fancy, nothing expensive (apart from the repair bills), just normal, forgettable everyday cars from the 1990s and early 2000s that take up far too much of our time.

    Episode 8: Forbidden Frenchies and the Morten Harket decorative plate: Twingo, Ka + Lupo
    Dec 17 2025

    In the episode we've been advised by the police to call episode 8, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss the pint-sized Clangers that tugged at our heart strings. Among the tiddlers talked about are the Ford Ka, Volkswagen Lupo, Fiat Cinquecento (briefly) and the SEAT Arosa. We also discover how Tom and Craig forged a dubious connection with pop legends A-Ha and why a brown envelope with £4k in cash gave us the scoop of our careers.


    We also discover what new crate(s) Mr Craig Cheetham has acquired this week. What larks.

    Dec 3 2025

    In the episode we're calling episode 7 for legal reasons, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss the almost-too-many-to-count Clangers that owed their existence to the Volkswagen Group's PQ34 platform - aka the Golf platform. Including (but not limited to), the Audi A3, Škoda Octavia, VW Beetle and Bora and the SEAT Leon and Toledo.

    Episode 6: Topless treat: MGF and BMW Z3 roadsters special!
    Nov 19 2025

    In the episode known under its codename of episode 6, Tom, Craig and Mike discuss their favourite topless models - and decide whether the MGF and the BMW Z3 are worthy members of the Clangers Hall of Fame. Is Rover's cobbled together MGF greater the sum of its (Metro) parts, and was the BMW Z3 overrated?
