Back to EpisodesJo Kingman - Skulls and Snaps: Dad was a Policeman, but our Lada got stolen! Washing my Dad's Rover 800, 3 wheeled XR2 and a hotboxed Ford Orion, Chrysler Neon, Vauxhall FronteraS9E1
Description
No Jon this week, but instead we're joined by Paul Gardiner from Speedbroker.
As it happens, and by sheer fluke, Paul is good friends with out guest, Jo, and so we have a really open and honest conversation about her car memories, caring for her Dad, going car spotting as a form of respite from caring, and buying a dream car to help remember her Dad since he has passed away.
Jo's earliest car memory is cleaning her Dad's Rover 800 at the weekend.
Later, they had a Lada, but this sadly got stolen (who steals a Lada?!)
They also had a Ford Orion, which some youths kindly entered without permission and 'hot boxed' it to get high, leaving all the windows down to clear the smoke before they went to use it again the next day.
The Orion was replaced by a Ford Fiesta XR2, but this had a wheel malfunction and became a 3 wheeler whilst in motion!
Jo's Dad was a Policemen when he was at work - and she would drive the Panda cars sat on his lap around the Police compound.
More recently Jo recalled a Renault Laguna, then a Peugeot 406 Coupe a Chrysler Neon and a Vauxhall Frontera.
