    S9 Ep8: Russell Kane: I love 1980s modern classics
    The final episode of the series sees Jason and Dave sit down with a man who rarely sits down, comedian Russell Kane! Russell is currently half way through an epic UK tour that has already seen him play about 60 dates this year, with the same scheduled for next year, and that doesn't take into account the podcasts, the interviews and the corporate gigs that he has to try and juggle as well! Away from that though and when he does have some time to himself, cars are a passion, and in particular 1980's modern classics! He loves old Fords and the motors of his Essex upbringing that rolled off the line at Dagenham, just down the road from his mum and dad's house, but has treated himself to a 1986 vintage BMW 5 series which is his pride and joy, and something he's only too happy to talk about!

    S9 Ep7: Ben Edwards: The voice of motorsport and his career in cars!
    Ben Edwards has enjoyed a highly acclaimed career as a motorsports commentator, presenter and journalist, but it was behind the wheel and on track where it all started for him, and he still manages to get out in his track car when he can. With the F1 season concluding in Abu Dhabi last weekend and the Formula E season kicking off in São Paulo at the same time, it seemed the perfect opportunity to get Ben on the podcast fresh from his travels, to give Jason and Dave his expert analysis on all of the week's goings on, plus the customary walk down memory lane in terms of his own motoring life story!

    S9 Ep5: Jennie Gow: The support I received from the whole F1 family was incredible!
    At the age of just 45 and suffering from flu at the time, Jennie Gow had a stroke that was to change her life beyond all recognition, in an instance. An incredibly scary situation for Jennie, her husband and her young daughter, it was unlikely she'd ever return to broadcasting again, but with an unwavering sense of fight and determination, coupled with the support of some incredible medical staff and therapists, Jennie's back on the BBC and doing what she does best, getting the biggest stories first, from the greatest stars in Formula One! The support she received from the world of motor racing and its fans has been a huge part of Jennie's recovery over the past two years, as she describes honestly and openly to Jason and Dave.

    S9 Ep4: Marc Priestley aka F1 Elvis: The 2025 season in F1 is set to be a cracker!
    On this week's edition of Fuelling Around, Jason and Dave welcome along a gentleman who used to be McLaren's chief engineer under Ron Dennis between the years of 1999 and 2009, seeing him work with the latest technology of the time, to enable the likes of David Coulthard, Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton drive to the absolute limit. These days Marc Priestley aka F1 Elvis is a key note speaker and accomplished commentator and TV presenter, covering F1 for the BBC and also working alongside Mike Brewer on Wheeler Dealers! As well as delivering stories a plenty, Marc gives the lads his expert opinion on how the remainder of this F1 season is likely to pan out, while predicting that 2025 is already set up to be a season like no other!

    S9 Ep3: Darren Gough: If I could choose anything, it would be an Aston Martin!
    Darren Gough is one of this country's greatest ever cricketers, having represented England and his beloved Yorkshire for decades. He won Strictly Come Dancing (twice if you believe him!) in the noughties, but these days golf is his greatest passion, along with cars of course. When it comes to motors, with Darren it's normally the bigger the better! Range Rovers, Land Rovers and even the behemoth that is the Cadillac Escalade is on his hitlist, but there have been smaller toys along the way in his more formative years. These days though, as a respectable man in his mid fifties, Darren can see himself looking quietly understated and naturally sophisticated in an Aston Martin, provided he doesn't have to pay for it. So, true to form and upholding almost every Yorkshire stereotype there is, Goughie wants to blag one, as he may have mentioned 3 or 5 times to Jason and Dave!

His 'Harry's Garage' videos get millions of views worldwide, and within those fabled four walls is a car collection to die for! When your podcast guest has a Lamborghini Countach as just one of the many toys ready to be played with at the weekend, then you know it's going to be a great episode!

So, buckle up as Jason, Dave and Kevin have a virtual root around in that fantasy garage, and contemplate a dream drive to beat them all!
