Welcome to our car enthusiast's podcast by James Martin of JayEmm on Cars, Ant of SPORTZNTOURING and car guy/musician Will Gladwell, the Radiator Arms is a friendly, welcoming place to talk all things automotive and beyond - with focus on movies, music and video games all connected by a shared love of the automobile.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
After eight months away, James, Ant and Will are back at The Radiator Arms — catching up on what’s changed, what they’ve been driving, and where the last year has taken them.
The main conversation picks up the story behind James’s recent trip to Ukraine, where he joined a Driving Ukraine convoy in a 1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III. There’s plenty that didn’t make the original video: mechanical problems, border confusion, an unexpected encounter with the Ukrainian Secret Service, and the strange reality of travelling through a country where normal life continues alongside war.
It’s a conversation about the people James met, what the donated vehicles are actually being used for, the reaction to the original video, and whether doing something that feels small can still make a meaningful difference. Serious in places, funny in others, and inevitably distracted by broken cars, Polish sausages, AK-47-shaped vodka and seasoned lard.

How Did 2025 Change Us As Car Guys?
As 2025 comes to a close, James, Ant and Will take a moment to reflect on how the year has shaped them as car people — from the cars they’ve driven and the experiences they’ve shared, to the moments that caught them off guard along the way.
It’s a relaxed, end-of-year conversation about changing tastes, learning curves, community, and what spending a year talking honestly about cars can do to your perspective. Less about stats and specs, more about people, memories, and why this hobby still matters.

Things Even Car Enthusiasts Get Wrong!
Today we’re talking about the stuff even car enthusiasts get wrong on the road and on track — from confusing grip with handling, to misunderstanding weight transfer, to treating traction control like the enemy… and why “driving fast” still doesn’t automatically mean “driving well”.
Expect pub-chat honesty, a few uncomfortable truths, and the usual detours into tyres, steering habits, heel-and-toe, hydroplaning myths, and the kind of driving confidence that probably needs adult supervision.
