Send us Fan MailWe're joined by Charlotte Vowden, Motoring journalist, automotive adventurer and presenter. Her story with cars hasn't always been a passion. It starts with her Grandads Mk3 Escort, and how he would pick her up from school and 'save her' from the bullies who would throw footballs at her head as she made her way to the gate. The car was nothing special, except it really was special. Her Dad was a mobile mechanic, so was busy working a lot of the time, but his skills have really come into their own in more recent years as Charlotte inherited an MGA roadster from her other Grandfather, and she's been on a number of life affirming roadtrips since taking over the ownership. From driving the length of the UK on sustainable fuel, to mimic the 1000 mile test from days gone by, to driving to Nordcapp, the furthest accessible point north, in Norway.Please do follow what Charlotte gets up to on Instagram, where you'll also find photos from her car based adventures.Charlie V (@charlottevowden) • Instagram photos and videosWe're pleased to say the guys from Viking Covers are staying on as Sponsor for My Dad's Car. If you are looking to keep the dust, dirt and weather off your cherished car go check them out at www.vikingcovers.co.ukSupport the showWe'd love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you'd like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee' which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom. Get in touch with us direct - MyDadsCarPodcast@gmail.com

Pippa Hudson speaks to motoring journalist Ernest Page in this week’s Car Talk feature, comparing two of South Africa’s most popular SUVs — the Toyota Fortuner and the Ford Everest. The conversation unpacks how these rivals stack up in terms of comfort, technology, reliability, and off-road capability, and what that means for everyday drivers and families. They also explore shifting buyer priorities in the SUV market, before Ernest weighs in on a listener question about the Peugeot 2008 and the brand’s overall value proposition. Lunch with Pippa Hudson is CapeTalk’s mid-afternoon show. This 2-hour respite from hard news encourages the audience to take the time to explore, taste, read, and reflect. The show - presented by former journalist, baker and water sports enthusiast Pippa Hudson - is unashamedly lifestyle driven. Popular features include a daily profile interview #OnTheCouch at 1:10 pm. Consumer issues are in the spotlight every Wednesday while the team also unpacks all things related to health, wealth & the environment.

Irish drivers continue to show interest in electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles, while carefully weighing cost, charging confidence and real-world ownership considerations, according to new findings from the Carzone 2026 Motoring Report. The latest national survey shows that a third (32%) of drivers plan to purchase a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle next. Hybrids remain the most popular alternative fuel choice, with a fifth (19%) planning to buy a hybrid, while 10% intend to buy a fully electric vehicle, indicating a gradual shift away from petrol and diesel rather than a complete behaviour change. Cost remains the most influential factor in decisions around electric vehicles. Four in ten drivers (40%) cite upfront price as a factor preventing them from making the switch, followed by concerns around reliability (31%) and electricity costs (28%). Alongside cost, confidence around EV ownership is being shaped by widespread misinformation and uncertainty. While the EV market has evolved rapidly, perceptions have been slower to catch up. Seven in ten drivers (69%) believe electric vehicles are more expensive to buy than petrol or diesel alternatives, despite increasing price parity and a growing number of more affordable models entering the market. Concerns around depreciation also persist, with six in ten (59%) believing EVs lose value faster. Nearly half of drivers (47%) think electric vehicles cost more to run, although more than one in five (22%) actively disagree, highlighting a clear gap between perception and real-world ownership experience. Charging infrastructure is also front of mind. Seven in ten drivers (71%) say there are not enough public charging points in Ireland, while 62% believe charging an electric vehicle takes too long. More than half (58%) say electric vehicles do not offer sufficient range for everyday driving. For those who have already made the move, experience differs from perception. Among current EV owners, 86% cite lower running costs as a key benefit, while 65% say they primarily charge their vehicle at home. Commenting on the findings, Conor Faughnan, Carzone's Independent Motoring Expert, said: "Irish drivers are taking a thoughtful approach to electric vehicles. Interestingly, the survey shows that while 18% of those planning to buy new are considering an electric vehicle, that figure drops to just 4% among used car buyers. This demonstrates what motorists are weighing up, from cost and charging to reliability. The findings also show that for those who already own an EV, the experience around running costs can differ from expectations. Having access to clear, independent information and advice is key as drivers consider making the EV switch." The Carzone 2026 Motoring Report is based on a nationally representative survey of 1,000 Irish drivers conducted in November 2025. The report forms part of a wider examination of how motorists are navigating changing fuel choices, ownership costs and vehicle technology.

#321. The thaw is underway  and we came out of our dens to record another episode! Ever find yourself showing off for nobody? If you throw a snowball into the air and perfectly roundhouse it into bits but there was no-one around to see it, did it really happen?

All of that and more in this one as we slowly heat things back up to above freezing. Enjoy! Until next time, be kind to each otger.
