A Honda S2000 im disguise as a Ford MKII Escort touring car and an actual Ford Taurus NASCAR which has somehow ended up in the UK feature on this week's podcast. Plus, we're incredulous that F1 The Movie has been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar. Listen here: pod.fo/e/387565

Don't worry, folks. Unfortunately will still be a podcast this week. It's just been delayed slightly due to unforseen incompetence on the part of your hosts.

Thinking of buying this as our new production office

As it's Saturday, here's an old Top Gear segment where Quentin Wilson buys a second-hand Lada 1300 SL, drives it to Hull, and sells it to a Russian called Alex for a tidy profit. More Lada chat, plus a Mazda RX-8 Nemesis and Ridge Racer Type 4 on this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/3817ab

Last week, the contents of an old Ridge Racer Type 4 press disc turned up online. Which, naturally, gave us an excuse to reminisce about a once-great video game franchise. Plus, the usual second-hand car nonsense with a Mazda RX-8 Nemesis and a Lada 1300 SL. Listen here: pod.fo/e/3817ab

Ahoy there, comrades! Free yourself from being corrupted by the excesses of Western decadence with an [***checks notes***] £8,000 Lada 1300 SL. Plus, a Mazda RX-8 Nemesis and some Ridge Racer Type 4 nostalgia on this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/3817ab

The Mazda RX-8 might have been ruinously expensive due to its Wankel rotary engine, but the Nemesis special edition was something of a beast. That, plus a Lada 1300 and some Ridge Racer Type 4 nostaglia on this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/3817ab

This week, it's an apparently well-travelled Mazda RX-8 Nemesis and an eye-wateringly expensive Lada 1300 SL for your listening pleasure. Plus, some Ridge Racer Type 4 nostalgia. Listen here: pod.fo/e/3817ab

Despite the name, there's no parenting advice on this podcast. There is, however, 31 episodes of weird second-hand cars from Facebook Marketplace and other automotive nonsense. Listen here: podfollow.com/baby-forces-... (Thanks to friend of the show Lee for the meme).

Everything you need - and nothing you don't," was the ominous tagline for Lada in 1994. A bizarre advert for the Samara, plus a beach buggy and an unpronounceable executive saloon from the depths of Facebook Marketplace on this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/37c75c

F1 Da Movie's tale of an old man who cheats and endangers other drivers has somehow been nominated for Best Picture and Best VFX at the Oscars. Here's what we had to say about it when we finally got around to watching it. Listen here: pod.fo/e/36ef40

Pretend you're Steve McQueen or Faye Dunaway (or even Austin Powers) with this VW Manta Ray we found on Facebook Marketplace. That, plus how to pronounce Xedos and why the Lada Samara was as exciting as a trip to the bottle bank on our latest podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/37c75c

The Xedos 6 was not only famous for having a borderline unpronounceable name, but also being rumoured to be part of a BTCC entry involving Noel Edmonds and Mr Blobby. More on that, a VW Manta Ray, and the friendly face of communist motoring on this week's episode. Listen here: pod.fo/e/37c75c

And now a word from our latest sponsor, The Swinging Sporran in Weston Favell. Where you're always guaranteed a welcome of sorts.

It's a mix of the silly and the sensible on this week's podcast, with a beach buggy and an unpronounceable executive saloon. Plus, Noel Edmonds reappears with Mr Blobby, and the friendly face of communist motoring. Listen here: pod.fo/e/37c75c

Stuck for something to do with your weekend while the outside world is going to shit? Well, good news! There's 30 episodes of weird second-hand cars and other assorted automotive nonsense to keep you going until the ants take over. Listen here: podfollow.com/baby-forces-...

In 1996, Nissan needed some credibility so it borrowed some of Tiff Needell's for this amazing promotional VHS for the new Primera. We talk about this in great detail, plus a Chrysler PT Cruiser and an Alfa Romeo 33 Sportwagon, on this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/377940

This week on babyforcessale.com they take a little advice from me!

You too could experience the magic of Alfa Romeo ownership with this 33 Sportwagon, although it does come with the usual Alfa issues. That plus a Chrysler PT Cruiser and Tiff Needell: Nissan pitchman on this week's episode. Listen here: pod.fo/e/377940

What do Chrysler PT Cruiser owners enjoy more than a trip to the tip? In our opinion, nothing. That and some Alfa Romeo Sportwagon fun on this week's episode, plus Tiff Needell shilling for Nissan. Listen here: pod.fo/e/377940

Look at that face! PT Cruiser Cabriolet street pap from April '25

This week, the weird world of second-hand cars on Facebook Marketplace brings us the hideous yet surprisingly popular Chrysler PT Cruiser and an incredible rare Alfa Romeo 33 Sportwagon which has seen better days. Plus, some Nissan Primera propaganda with Tiff Needell! Listen here: pod.fo/e/377940

We've seen one of those before, too... More here: pod.fo/e/36755b

A brush/roller-painted MPV and a horrendously unsafe pickup are this week's selections from the bowels of Facebook Marketplace...

After recently thinking we'd stumbled on a second-hand car which belonged to a member of The Damned, we did actually come across one which belonged to a member of Dead Kennedys. This plus a Fiat Multipla and a Proton Jumbuck on our latest episode. Listen here: pod.fo/e/37331a

Fiat never made an Abarth version of the Multipla, but you can create one yourself with a shonky paint-job. That and a Proton Jumbuck which thinks it's a Mitsubishi Evo I on this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/37331a

The Proton Jumbuck scored only a one-star safety rating from the ANCAP, although we can't for the life of us imagine why... More on this and a brush/roller-painted Fiat Multipla on this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/37331a

Back to #weirdcarbs on this week's podcast, featuring a Fiat Multipla with a questionnable paint-job and a Proton Jumbuck which thinks it'a a Mitsubishi Evo I. Plus, a long-awaited punk music and motoring crossover. Listen here: pod.fo/e/37331a

Save yourself two hours and 47 minutes of your life by just listening to this instead...

Happy New Year to all out there in #weirdcarbs land! To celebrate, we've finally launched our own proper website. See here for more: babyforcessale.com

Last pod of the year sees us dissect the F1 movie. Come for the nitpicking, stay for the lack of a Super Licence, bad romantic subplot and flat-out cheating. Listen here: pod.fo/e/36ef40

Our post-Christmas podcast dissection of F1: Da Movie, in which Brad Pitt cheats and endangers lives on the road to racing victory.

Strap yourselves in as we ditch weird second-hand cars for Twixtmas to watch F1 The Movie, six months after it was released. The suprising similarities to Driven, rampant cheating, and whether Sonny Hayes was even eligible for an FIA Super Licence on this week's pod. Listen here: pod.fo/e/36ef40

Cool, we broke Google AI

Last call for this week's episode. Perfect listening for while you're stuffing your face with Christmas leftovers.

Avoid interacting with your family over the festive period for at least half an hour by listening to this instead...

One Ford dealer produced a limited edition of a limited edition with 10 150bhp Mondeo SRIs spread across their Hampshire outlets. Listen for more and some XR3i Cabriolet fun on this week's podcast: pod.fo/e/36b277

Our Christmas gift to you is all 27 episodes of this nonsense and a GIF of Santa driving a Caterham (or possibly a Westlake). It's better than watching the Little and Large Christmas Special or Holiday On The Buses. Listen here: podfollow.com/baby-forces-...

How we're turning up to the Bluesky Christmas party

An oddly-specific 211 Mondeo SI Citrines were made and it's believed fewer than 50 are left. We found out there's far more to it than looking like you're driving around in a tennis ball on this week's podcast. Listen here: pod.fo/e/36b277

This XR3i Cabriolet was bought with the intention to restore it until, apparently, life got in the way. At least it's not made of cheap steel from the Soviet Union, though. Listen to this week's episode for more: pod.fo/e/36b277

We're coming for you, Top Gear... (Ok, so they haven't published a new podcast for over a year but still)

We're back with a non-Christmas Christmas special, which accidentally turned out to be something of a Ford takeover. This week, there's an XR3i Cabriolet restoration project, an incredibly rare Mondeo, and a list of insults levelled at the Scorpio! Listen here: pod.fo/e/36b277

Last call for this week's podcast. What else are you going to do on the shortest day of the year?

Can't even remember the last time we saw a Fiat in real life, to be honest. Anyway, cheers!

Another edition of automotive weirdness. The cars we found for sale on Facebook this week: a well-travelled Fiat roadster and a rather lairy Daihatsu.

"Eye-watering acceleration" was apparently such a big selling point for the Daihatsu YRV Turbo that they mentioned it in all-caps red bold italic lettering on their advertising bumf. More on this week's podcast: pod.fo/e/36755b

And now a word from our new sponsor, where you can buy all of your nodding dogs, tiger tails for your aerial, and those fake hands which make it look like you've got a body in the boot.
