Iconic Ionic: Sold as Seen Podcast Episode 9

In this episode of RMS Motoring's Sold as Seen Podcast, Andy has the Hyundai Ioniq 5 on road test, so EVs, costs and ownership are the order of the day. Craig drops a bomb. Gary gets us excited about our upcoming trip to the Classic Car Show at the NEC, and has us slightly less excited about the new Range Rover launch. Andy talks us through seeing the Lotus Emira in Birmingham, experiencing the fuel crises and being embedded in the Cotswolds, land of Clarkson, Metcalfe and Castle Combe Circuit. And we talk Bond Cars with the release of No Time To Die.

Just listened to the latest podcast. Another great episode.
I agree the NEC show is awesome, don’t think I’m gonna make it to this years but hopefully I’ll be there again in 2022.
Last time I went, we had dinner in Asha’s. The Indian restaurant owned by the Bollywood star. (The song “Brim full of Asha” is about her.) I had the best curry of my life! If you’re staying overnight in Birmingham, I would highly recommend.

Another great episode guys. Really enjoy listening while working.

Epic Indian tip. @Gaz get it booked!

Thanks for the feedback folks, thinking of taking the recorder to Brum for a pod on the road!

I'm honestly going to miss you on it @Rocko

We did try and convince him to stay ........... offered money, favours, Tayto, Cooper even tried a lapdance, but he was having none of it

Booked for the Fri night! Cheers for the tip. I had booked another Indian for us but it was more street food type stuff so happy to change.

 

[Rocko]

To be clear, there was no lap dance.

I'd have stayed.

New host. More guests. Possibly some chat live from the classic car show at the NEC.

 

[Kerzo]

Just listened this morning when out for a walk, good stuff lads and again to inflate the celeb status of @Rocko, he will be missed. As a fellow typically grumpy ***** it was good to have that balance!

 

[Rocko]

RockPod coming soon!

(No, it isn't.)

I hope for more EV chat, hope someone gets an Kia EV6 to try soon, and to actually listen to an episode.

 

[Gaz]

As a combustion-engine loving dinosaur and EV hater, I'm going to try and get a drive in one and see if it changes my mind. I've had a passenger run in a Tesla but I think a drive is needed.

My wife's 330d is due a change and she mentioned an EV the other day, I was a bit ....

 

[Rocko]

I know you missed Bob Flavin @Gaz but he absolutely raves about the Kia EV6. They should be appearing at dealers literally any day now, the demonstrators are already in GB dealers.

 

[Rocko]

@Gaz Shelbourne in Newry have one
