Summary

In front of an audience at the MINI visitors’ centre in Oxford, Jonny and Richard meander pointlessly through a range of topics including the Cowley or not Cowley game, cabinets of BL artefacts, the mighty Eagle limo going for its MOT, picking up Taylor Swift from Luton, an interesting look round the MINI production line, reversing away from sick, John Lennon crashing a Maxi, a manky camper van and sinister Laguna, trying to explain the TV show Treasure Hunt, and Richard’s disastrous attempt at a best man’s speech.
