Following a summer hiatus, Sold As Seen returns. Andy was at an Evo Trackday at Bedford Autodrome, and the Pistonheads Annual Service, along with being impressed after a week with the Lotus Emeya.

Gary enlightens us with the superb LFA vs Carrera GT Top Gear Video and quickly pulls us back to earth on the topic of the cyber attack on JLR. We also talk China's domination of the EV market, and both the demise and return of physical controls. Ross brings the listener and forum member questions which we answer in as haphazard and unprepared manner as you would expect.

Burning questions for the Northern Irish motorist. Why did we only recently get motorway services recently? Will the A5 ever be finished? Will there be a bridge to Scotland?

In this episode we are joined by the foremost authority on the Northern Irish road network, author and self confessed public highway enthusiast Wesley Johnston. Less about cars in this show, and more about the roads we use them on.

You may know Wesley from is amazing NI Roads website, http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/roads, our independent voice on where and why roads are built, or as in the case of the A5, continual hiatus. Wesley takes us through what went before, from the grand plans from the 60s that never came to fruition, to the new Narrow Water Bridge that is well underway. Ross reminds us of the dirt bike over the top of Toome Bypass bridge

Gaz and Andy are joined by RMS forum member Neil Magill. We'd like to say he's one of us, but maybe he's who we aspire to be. Anyway, he's currently building an MK RX-5 VTEC - think locaterfield kit car with a Type-R heart, building it at home. And he recently rescued a classic Impreza turbo in a local barn find.

Also in this episode, the Rashmen's take on the Port Car Scene stirs up memories of the heady Max Power cruise days.

Craig McKeown, known as Coog on the forum (and on the admin team) joins Andy, Ross and Gary to talk about two decades of track cars and tinkering. Craig's owned over 100 cars, his trackday Swift a regular appearance, but what about his MX5 he had for 9 years, painted four different colours and fitted an AliExpress Turbo? Or an epic family E39 M5 resto?

We also talk ring and RMS Anglesey track trips, and prototyping using 3D printing. Craig does it all, and we were mightily impressed.
