63 is a good number; it is also the year some significant cars were developed for the market. Gas was not an issue and designers had style. This week the crew of Patrick Gearing, Trevor van de Ven, Christo van Gemert and ZACS special guest Simon Swanich from Have 2 Have choose their favourite cars from 1963.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is a chat on car technology. Have 2 Have is an online retailer which sources products from the around the world. It goes without saying that Simon is a gadget freak – at one stage owning probably the most specced E90 BMW.

We’ve reached our 21st episode milestone and celebrate with one of our most fun shows to date. We discuss the latest news from the auto industry including the resignation of Chris Bangle who’s leaving to design …er…bangles; the Renault Clio Facelift and revival of the Citroen DS badge. The team also reviews the surprisingly good FIAT Grande Punto TJet and Audi A3 Convertible while wrapping it all up with by announcing the winner of the TomTom competition and helping a listener choose a car. Very entertaining, even if we have to say so ourselves.
