And along the way, they hope to help lovers of cars of all ages and types to broaden their horizons.

OB12: What's the BEST facelift? Plus: questions answered and McDonalds cupholders in a Citroen Saxo

Facelifts aren't always successful. When done well, they can extend the life of a car by giving a clever visual update; when done badly, though, they can turn a silk purse into a sow's ear. So which are the ones that work - and which don't? Kitch and Scrof talk through some prime examples, and reveal the one we both think is the most successful facelift ever. Don't forget to send in your suggestions, either by leaving a comment or by emailing us at overborepod@gmail.com.It's the last episode in the series, so it's time to close out by answering some reader questions. Fun four-seaters from the 70s, the best items to go in a breakfast roll, and the most stylish country for dashboards are all in the mix. Don't miss it. (Actually, you can miss it if you want to. It's a free country, after all.)Thanks for listening - we'll be back soon for the start of Series 2!

OB11. Why Volvo stopped making estates, oddfire V6s, engine noises and poppadoms, in a Volvo V60

This week, Kitch tells Scrof all about his hot male and female tools. No, we haven't gone 18-plus -- it's all completely legit and above board. Seriously.Kitch also regales Scrof with the story of his local chippy Chinese which also sold poppadoms. He also explains why the Buick V6 in the TVR he's been working on is unbalanced, also known as an oddfire engine, and therefore sounds very good indeed.The studio this week is a Volvo estate, so naturally the boys reminisce about the time Volvo entered an 850 estate into the British Touring Car Championship, building an enormous amount of love for Volvo estates in the process. Estates are what Volvo has become known for. So you might well wonder why on earth Volvo stopped selling estates two years ago. Scrof explains -- and tells Kitch why they started again. But can he swing Kitch round to liking a Volvo estate in its modern form? You'll have to listen to find out. Obviously. We're not going to give it all away.

OB10: Was the 90s the BEST era for cars? And did Kitch get stitched? In a Citroen Xantia Activa

Tales from the coal face of the car sales world, in this episode, as Kitch recounts the story of his brief stint trying to sell Rovers to old people, which culminated in him getting fired. (He did sell one car, at least...)Our podcast studio this week is a Citroen Xantia Activa, and that leads us to talk about the 90s. Cool Britannia, Three Lions, Britpop - we mention literally none of these things, and instead focus on why the 90s was the best era for cars. Well come on - what did you expect from us?
