We Need To Talk! ... The Future Of Jon Coupland Cars?

It's nearly halfway through the year already, and so far, Dad and I haven't filmed a single podcast in 2026. Join us in this video to finally change that. We catch up with Dad in the workshop as we discuss my Australian Roadtrip in January, the purchase of our Proton Wira project and February, continued fleet maintenance in March and a really busy April. May has also been busy and HOT. Dad tries out HOLY Energy drink, I showcase my new Giraffe Tools Pressure Washer, and together we open an epic parcel from ProBike UK full of Optimate goodies. Expect time wasting waffle PLUS chat about the future of the channel.
