Hello and welcome to Overdrive a program that looks at cars and transport from a variety of angles. I’m David Brown The times each story appears in the program are noted (mm:ss) Feedback We put a post up on social media about a great Australian car: the 1964 EH Holden and we received some great comments from the public It also raised the issue of unusual optional extras. The EH had options such as • Plastic seat covers • 4 piece luggage set that is made to fit neatly into the boot • Rear parcel shelf • Seat belts • Hand rail on the back of the front seat • An extra inside door pull-to handles Interview We then have an interview with motoring journalist Paul Murrel on tow subjects • The cars he had 40 years ago • The Toyota MR2 that was on the stage for Australia’s Eurovision competitor Motoring Minutes For more information Driven Media Podcasts iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overdrive-cars-transport-and-culture/id1001084679 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0ah6JZN8LTYURIfNs1IIBs Facebook Cars Transport Culture https://www.facebook.com/carstransportculture/ Instagram Cars Transport Culture https://www.instagram.com/carstransportculture/ YouTube Cars Transport Culture https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKyx5sv6cgF4URRmNq2JiXg/videos Originally broadcast on 20 May 2023
