Simon makes some of the finest short videos about cars, they are incredibly creative and very well done.

What a thoroughly enjoyable hour and a half that was. I honestly could have quite easily listened to another couple of hours of Simon's stories. Can't wait for part 2, whenever you guys can make it happen.

Simon has a great talent of making a good story even more exiting and desiring

This is absolutly brilliant! Simon is right, watching Bond, The Saint, The Persuaders, Miami Vice etc caused me to hanker for and film svelte coupes.

A brilliant interview. I can’t wait for part 2. The time just whizzed by and I for one didn’t want it to come to an end. Simon comes across as a really lovely guy.

Absolutely fascinating listening to the stories from the 50s and the Mille Miglia, my late father's era. I inherited my love of cars from him

I rarely listen to anything start to finish but Simon, just like Tom Hartley Jr is such a quality orator, the passion just oozes out as the conversation flows along. Well done guys.

Chris, a great interview. What an interesting guest Simon is. I've followed his channels and enjoyed his films and accounts. If anyone needs to join you more often or have his own podcast as well, Simon is the one. Thank you again and please have him back.

The videos Simon uploads to Kidston Productions are jewel-like mini-masterpieces. I'm swiping "La Dodgy Vita" for my own use, btw.

Great Podcast. I've been listening to behind the glass for the last few years but recently I feel that Tony and Sam have lost touch with reality and the content is more of a grumpy man's opinion piece than something with genuine facts and real life experiences. The Collecting Cars podcast is great. I've really enjoyed the last few episodes. Great contributors too.

I hope the Collecting Cars team realise that many folk listen to these podcasts on podcast apps rather than KZfaq and that the listener stats here hopelessly under-represent the popularity of the content.
