Step into the Carfession booth where each week, Jack Scarlett and Cam Tait will invite guests to confide their deepest loves and most burning hatreds from the world of cars. Whether it's a loathing of fake performance car badges or a fixation with metal gear knobs, an outrage at lane etiquette or an obsession with service stations, we listen and we don't judge. The floor is all yours, what will you bring to the Carfessions booth?
This week, Jack and Cam are joined by legendary car journo, Steve Fowler. The former Editor of Whatcar, Autocar and Auto Express brings to the Carfession booth his adoration of automotive theatre, cats eyes and - perhaps surprisingly - self-driving cars, before delving into his hatred for temporary traffic lights, improper indicator etiquette and car design w*nk (his words).

Car's James Dennison has had enough of launch control
Car magazine's James Dennison steps into the Carfessions booth with three loves and three hates for Jack and Cam to mull over.
James kicks things off with his love for sim racing (if it's good enough for Max Verstappen, right?), which fuels his second love: his MG ZR racing car. His final love, however, is entirely different, and that's the clever ways manufacturers implement buttons to turn off ADAS.
Then, it's onto the hates, starting somewhat controversially with his dislike for launch control. That moves neatly onto his hatred of half-arsed car mods, before ending on everyone's obsession with manual cars.
Finishing off, James takes us through his dream daily, weekend car, once-a-year drive and the car you'll drive just once in your lifetime.

Jack, Cam and the Mercedes G-Wagen thunk
Jack and Cam step back into the Carfessions booth with a fresh batch of loves and hates.
It's Cam turn to kick off the loves, now that he's finally able to talk about his secret trip to Germany to see the new Porsche 911 Turbo S (that's the 992.2 for geeks), talking about all the secret cars he saw testing there. Jack, meanwhile, feels good about the direction of car interiors, and has brought along a list of listener-picked concepts to go over.
The hates kick off with a love, as Jack's not sure whether he's a fan of the Mercedes G-Wagen or thinks its pants. Cam, on the other hand, proclaims his hatred of people willing to risk parking fines so that they can put their car wherever they want. And while he doesn't hate concours events, he's not sure if he's all that keen on them.
