Cars, wine and Roscoe
33 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsTwo best friends, who happen to be motoring journalists, chat about cars while drinking wine. Roscoe is the Boston Terrier who keeps interrupting so he had to be included in the title of the podcast.
My name is Juliet Mc Guire and my co-host is Terence Steenkamp. Together we have over 20 years’ experience in the motoring industry. Basically, we know our shit. Not so much about wine on the other hand, we just really love to drink it.
Note: Do not drink and drive! Ever!
