My Dad's Car

About My Dad's Car

Join Andy and Jon, two friends who have discussions with invited guests about their personal relationships with automotive nostalgia and family history. Each episode kicks off with us asking our guest “what’s your earliest car memory?” From there it’s a journey back through time towards the modern day, but generally focusing on vehicles we remember from childhood. We ask about siblings, neighbours, music, smells, smoking, breakdowns, selling, buying, accidents and more. Despite the podcast title, we don’t discriminate against cars belonging to other people, such as Mum’s, Gran’s, Uncle’s, Aunts, friends, or even a neighbours. If those cars made an impression, we want to talk about them.

   Send us Fan Mail Alex Michaelides joins Andy and Jon to share how his father’s lifelong passion for cars shaped his own childhood and career. His earliest motoring memory is sitting in the family garage inside his dad’s 1985 Delta Formula Ford, surrounded by the sights and smells of a racing car. Alongside it were a rare Florida Green MGC University Special, an MGB and, later, a Ferrari 308 GT4.
