Last call for this week's podcast... #weirdcarbs
This week's second hand car podcast gave me a chance to bang on about RoboCop, one of the greatest films of all time. Oh, and we look at a cursed Noddy car.
I'd buy that for a dollar...
Another Ford Taurus? Yes, but this one is modified to look like RoboCop's police car - and it's apparently perfect for weddings!
More on that and a cursed Noddy car on this week's podcast.
