About this listen

Do you like just going for a drive? Just for the pleasure of it? Do you have a favourite car? Do you have a nemesis car? One that's always in the way?

This is the podcast for you. We are two comedians, talking about cars and the people who drive around us. Each episode we dissect what on Earth these people are doing on the roads in the first place, share a car story, and discuss our Car of the Week.

  • Season 4, Ep. 2 - SPIDERS!! AAAAHHH!! plus driving talk
    Apr 14 2026

    You ever have those dreams where a spider jumps at you from the sun-visor and you scream and scream and scream and cause so much carnage that your neighbours' insurance premiums go up? Yes? With a chortling insurance lady? Right? Just me?

    Join Nick and a surprisingly high-voiced Sam as they talk surprises, how to 'nuke it from orbit', and what it was, and is like to have your P-plates at last.

    Plus car shopping, the solution to electric vehicles, and how to get your lightly muddy shoes on the Alcantara dashboards of your local super cars. It's a real solution, and you'll find out on this episode of ... Just Going For A Driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvve ...

  • Season 4, Ep. 1 - Top Gear Special Special
    Mar 22 2026

    The show that started it all for so, so many people. The hosts, the cars, the stories and, yes, the legends, that made you feel like you were one of the gang, there for the ride, and in on the joke. That's right, people: Just Going For A Drive is BACK!

    And we are kicking off Season 4 with a classic misdirect episode description which also ties us straight to the enigma of Top Gear. We don't even need to clarify which version, because, at the end of it all, there is only one.


    We hope you enjoy. And welcome to our fourth year of doing this crazy thing. We're glad to have you.

  • Season 3, Ep. 10 - Xmas, Parking and The Wave
    Dec 30 2025

    WHAT are these people doing? They've carefully (SO carefully) stowed their shopping, tucked little Baby On Board into the cryocapsule, turned the car on, and put it in reverse. Now they're not moving. Those white lights tell the world that they're ready to back over some slow-moving fellow shoppers, but nothing is happening. YOU have been blocking up Xmas car park traffic for seven straight minutes now. The queue stretches well past the boomgate. A fellow car park shopper is fogging your back window with their meaty breath, unwilling to defy the laws of indicator-means-my-park, but Jesus Mary Joseph and at least four camels: WHY won't they move?? Are they on a call? Having a stroke? Reading a book? Listening to their favourite car-based podcast?


    Nick and Sam answer all these questions and many more, including a deep dive into The Wave. That little flag which tells fellow motorists: I am a human. Please, do not kill me.
