These are great - keep them coming.

"Can a Triumph Dolomite sit next to a Volvo C30?"

My driveway:

Almost. One of us is on Skype being played through speakers. The recording is done on a Zoom H5. The plan is to get the laptop to record as a channel in the Zoom, then record both sides locally, and swap out the audio tracks (which the zoom separates). But the laptop -> amp -> zoom hum is so distracting I cant do it. I suspect the amp to Zoom output, but it isn't the lead or the connector, so I need to maybe have a rethink (something like an external sound card may be in order).

Strongly recommend this one - only way I could get near perfect audio. £23 is well worth it.

Another method which will sound more equal is for you both be on skype and both record each other - then you mix together.

May not need the soundcard for that. You could also try using Soundflower (mac only) to record input audio whilst you still hear it - Audacity records and allows listening on PC too.

Really like the podcast - It's like a natter down the pub without getting trashed. Perfect.

Really enjoyed this one.

That's not to say I haven't liked the past four, I just liked this one morer.

Can you point us to the interesting cars mentioned in the podcast, like the Rover and other things? That would be neat. Not all of us have been on RR since Mk1 Focus estates were new.

Just listened through it and was a good listen as always on what is an interesting topic

My lass is out with her work friends, so I've got a few hours to myself so I put the podcast on. A good listen, I enjoyed it. Interesting to hear the views on the Passat B5. I've got an A4 B5 and I was after a better parcel shelf for it, I went to the local scrapyard and the place was full of passats and a4's all meeting their end, but luckily getting pulled apart and helping others survive.

It was good to hear the 65 to 95 year rule put into place, it helps keep things on track.

The one thing I wondered though, what if is someone had a something like a1996/1997/1998 car that was an identical unchanged production model to a 1993/1994/1995 car, is that still allowed? Something like the bmw e36 is a perfect example.

Don't take it the wrong way Gents but perhaps it could be worth looking at again?

The source level seems very low e.g. whereas other podcasts are audible at say volume 10 to 20, I find I need to turn up to near max and the audio quality seems poor.
