What’s the best-sounding engine? Kitch reckons a soaring V10, or a thrummy five-pot. Scrof’s a sucker for an old-school V8. What do you think? (Poll below!)

This week’s episode comes to you from this rather lovely Volvo V60. Kitch judged it ‘not bad’ - praise indeed - and said it was the first new car Scrof’s brought in that he could see himself owning. (Scrof quite likes it too.) But was Volvo right to reincarnate its estates?

If you’re wondering where this week’s Overbore is, well, it’s coming. Just not today. Sorry. What with a family funeral this week, we’ve had to push things back a little, but we’re hoping to get the latest ep out to you tomorrow or on Monday. Hang tight - it’s coming!

WE’RE BACK! After our brief hiatus we’ve moved to publishing our new episodes on Friday mornings, because it felt right. (It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact we couldn’t get our act together in time to record for Thursday…) OB9 drops at 10am. See you then!

Hi folks, it’s Scrof with some sad news. I’m sorry to report that Tony McLean, Kitch’s father in law and friend of the pod, passed away earlier this week. 🧵

Tony’s passing as a result of cancer is a reminder to us all to get ourselves checked out if something doesn’t seem right. Don’t delay. And don’t be afraid of troubling the doctor about nothing. After all, it might not be. (That means you, too, blokes.)

Please join me in sending all the love of the automotive community to Rich and his family at this difficult time. Obviously there will be no episode of Overbore this week, but we hope to be back to it next week. Thank you.

This week we’re in a Volkswagen ID.Buzz; this one, to be precise. Kitch hates the colour scheme, deeming it to be too try-hard. Scrof, however, thinks it adds a welcome dash of colour to our roads. Who’s right? (Poll below!)
