    How Did 2025 Change Us As Car Guys?

    As 2025 comes to a close, James, Ant and Will take a moment to reflect on how the year has shaped them as car people — from the cars they’ve driven and the experiences they’ve shared, to the moments that caught them off guard along the way. It’s a relaxed, end-of-year conversation about changing tastes, learning curves, community, and what spending a year talking honestly about cars can do to your perspective. Less about stats and specs, more about people, memories, and why this hobby still matters. ★ Featuring: • James: https://youtube.com/@JayEmmOnCars • Ant: https://youtube.com/@sportzntouring • Will: https://youtube.com/@WillThePlank 🕗 The Radiator Arms podcast releases every Monday at 7AM on YouTube.

    Will PAY PER MILE Spell The END of Your EV?

    This week, James, Ant and Will dig into the newly announced 3p-per-mile tax for EVs and ask the big question: will this ever actually happen? They explore what the tax means for everyday EV drivers, how it compares to the real-world running costs of petrol and diesel, and whether the policy makes sense at a time when manufacturers are already struggling to meet EV quotas. They also discuss implementation problems, data-privacy concerns, MOT mileage tracking, and whether this could impact EV adoption more than the government expects. It’s a practical, apolitical look at the realities of driving electric in the UK — and the unintended consequences this decision might create.

    Why Don’t Modern Cars Feel Special Anymore?

    Remember when relatable cars felt special? In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James and Will sit down to talk about why so many modern cars feel less soulful than the ones we grew up loving. From affordable first cars to the icons that defined generations, they reflect on the machines that had character, connection and pride built into every drive. It’s a nostalgic, funny, and honest look at how car culture has changed — why we’ve lost some of that everyday magic, and what still keeps us falling in love with cars today. ★ Featuring: • James: https://youtube.com/@JayEmmOnCars • Will: https://youtube.com/@WillThePlank 🕗 The Radiator Arms podcast releases every Monday at 7 AM on YouTube.
