Andy Cooper Interviewed on the History of RMS on the Reload Podcast

[Paddy_R]

@natogreen16v now into my 3rd episode. Is distracting me rightly from my work here.

I've been on 'Ring trips with @Cooper and its an experience in itself!

Very interesting interview! Is it bad I have most interest in the A6 Avant?

 

[AlpineF30]

Just listening to the whole thing and subscribed to the podcast its great.

Was great listening to Andy’s experiences and how RMS got it’s start and he is a fantastic story teller.

 

[Chris tii]

Just listened to the Podcast. Was a great episode! Didn’t know about @Cooper ’s drifting past. I’m now following the podcast on Spotify.

5cyl 140bhp 6 speed 2.5. Fantastic car.

I remember lusting after it at the time...more power in the short lived facelift 100 aka A6 to memory

 

[tizer]

I was on posting "for sales" and noticed the link to the Podcast.

Really enjoyed it and it brought back memories. I remember the Corsa well as it was a mates car.. Still have the max power mag it was featured in (somewhere). Also remember the Corolla of course.

Great to see the site is still going strong after all these years

Yours and buff's were hard to beat as tow cars. Drove his a few times with the gtr on the trailer without it breaking a sweat

You'd be biased with Audi estates though lol

 

[Cooper]

So faulty memory came into play. I only had the A6 for a few years then bought an accord estate and towed with it on and off for 5.

it was a truly great car.

After hearing the Carlton story decided to go hoking through the classifieds.

Didn’t realise they were as thin on the ground as what they are could only fine one for sale online

I found an Auto Trader from 2007 and brought it to our recording session with Andy. You should see the abundance of stuff and how cheap it was. Wide body 964 Porsche for £16k

 

[quattro Rick]

Managed to listen my way through episode 4-8 today to be completely honest, it engaged me a lot more listening to you guys than it usually does when I listen to music.

7-8 hours driving flew by, with the occasional knob holding me up distracting me momentarily

Get on it daily or I'll have listened to them all

 

[Rocko]

Finally got a listen to the first hour out for a run, very enjoyable.

Dulcet tones from @Cooper as always, silver tongued devil!

 

[natogreen16v]

@quattro Rick you're a brave soul

Seriously though it's great to hear feedback (good or bad) as this is totally new to us. I used to commute 3 hrs every day and really which I had listened to podcasts back then lol.

@Rocko he's a smooth talker. Highlights the harshness of my Craigavon twang

 

[Rocko]

Also, always thought it was Dominoka. Same with Carbonka.

 

[Smick]

Listened to this whilst working today. The 2.5hrs flew in, enjoyed the laid back chat. Will def give some of the other episodes a listen, thanks for sharing

 

[natogreen16v]

Btw @quattro Rick EP015 will be out midnight tomorrow night to try get ahead of you lol.

Thank you @Smick

@Rocko you're one of the very few lol

One of the previous episodes @veedubboy discussed the history of BBS wheels...

Another Bankruptcy For Germany’s BBS Wheels As It Turns 50.

Formula One and Indycar supplier BBS GmbH filed for bankruptcy protection in Germany today for the third time in 13 years, on the eve of its 50th anniversary.

Caught up on a few episodes yesterday and listened to a bit of this one too. Brilliant stuff! Sitting laughing away to myself and it's actually really interesting too. Keep up the good work @natogreen16v @veedubboy @Dominoka

 

[Martyn]

Listened today.... fantastic took me back 20 years!!

I joined in 2002 and dial up was the business! I also remember the days before that as well before signing up... my goodness how the world has changed.

 

[lightning]

Enjoyed that. Especially the bit on the ring. Have always said I'd absolutely love a trip there. Haven't made it materialise yet.

 

[natogreen16v]

@veedubnoodle Cheers Aaron. Was that you driving behind me Sunday night btw?

@Martyn it's funny how we complain about 4g dropping out and 20years ago we were on dial up complaining when a download would cut out when the phone rang

@lightning the ring bit really got me thinking. I don't have any track focused cars but hearing how close it is and having a friend in German I'll likely do it at some stage.

Thanks everyone for checking it out. EP015 is out tonight at midnight

Funny I do remember your car,?must have been 2004/2005 @ castlewellan and how groundbreaking it seemed then!

 

[natogreen16v]

@Martyn that might have been Nigel (@veedubboy ) car. He's the old one. I wasn't driving until 2006
