This week Alan is solo whilst Andrew lies, feverishly, in his sickbed.
Alan covers the start of the civil class-action against Volkswagen in the UK, ex-Nissan CEO Saikawa's thoughts on the proposed Renault/Nissan Merger, job cuts and recall threats are Daimler, BMW diesel engine recall expansion, the revelation that the UK Transport minister backs road charging, that £280 million pounds of revenue was lost in the botch phase-out of the paper tax disk, Europe's best October for car registrations in a decade, Formula is is now an Official World Championship, that Zombie miles could negate any possible congestion-beating benefits of autonomous cars and, finally, 14 ways to make your car last longer.
Lastly, we launched this year's Listener Survey!
As ever, we really hope you enjoy the show and feel free to get in touch with news items and feedback!
