The best podcast ever (about second-hand cars on Facebook Marketplace) is back with a brace of absurdly powerful TVRs. One of them is purple.

Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.
I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.
