Fuelling Around - Stars Talking Cars!

At the age of just 45 and suffering from flu at the time, Jennie Gow had a stroke that was to change her life beyond all recognition, in an instance. An incredibly scary situation for Jennie, her husband and her young daughter, it was unlikely she'd ever return to broadcasting again, but with an unwavering sense of fight and determination, coupled with the support of some incredible medical staff and therapists, Jennie's back on the BBC and doing what she does best, getting the biggest stories first, from the greatest stars in Formula One! The support she received from the world of motor racing and its fans has been a huge part of Jennie's recovery over the past two years, as she describes honestly and openly to Jason and Dave.

On this week's edition of Fuelling Around, Jason and Dave welcome along a gentleman who used to be McLaren's chief engineer under Ron Dennis between the years of 1999 and 2009, seeing him work with the latest technology of the time, to enable the likes of David Coulthard, Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton drive to the absolute limit. These days Marc Priestley aka F1 Elvis is a key note speaker and accomplished commentator and TV presenter, covering F1 for the BBC and also working alongside Mike Brewer on Wheeler Dealers! As well as delivering stories a plenty, Marc gives the lads his expert opinion on how the remainder of this F1 season is likely to pan out, while predicting that 2025 is already set up to be a season like no other!

Darren Gough is one of this country's greatest ever cricketers, having represented England and his beloved Yorkshire for decades. He won Strictly Come Dancing (twice if you believe him!) in the noughties, but these days golf is his greatest passion, along with cars of course. When it comes to motors, with Darren it's normally the bigger the better! Range Rovers, Land Rovers and even the behemoth that is the Cadillac Escalade is on his hitlist, but there have been smaller toys along the way in his more formative years. These days though, as a respectable man in his mid fifties, Darren can see himself looking quietly understated and naturally sophisticated in an Aston Martin, provided he doesn't have to pay for it. So, true to form and upholding almost every Yorkshire stereotype there is, Goughie wants to blag one, as he may have mentioned 3 or 5 times to Jason and Dave!

He may not look like your average YouTuber, but car content creator / full time farmer Harry Metcalfe is nothing short of being an online sensation! His 'Harry's Garage' videos get millions of views worldwide, and within those fabled four walls is a car collection to die for! When your podcast guest has a Lamborghini Countach as just one of the many toys ready to be played with at the weekend, then you know it's going to be a great episode!
