EP40: Ford Puma Gen-E, Techno Classica Essen & supercar values

We've had a busy week at 50to70, starting with the launch of the Ford Puma Gen-E. Yes, Ford's little crossover is going electric and no, it's still not as cool as the original Puma. Dave tells us everything you need to know about it. 
From there we headed up to the Techno Classica Show in Essen, Germany, to see whats' what in the classic scene there. Spoiler alert, if we never see another 300SL Gullwing again we won't be disappointed. Thankfully, there was so much more to see than those, so buckle up, make a coffee and let us tell you about everything we saw.

EP39: What's Skoda doing in Vietnam & the story of Ireland's only Honda Element

Think Skoda and you think of clever and practical cars from the Czech Republic. You might not think of Skoda and come up with India or even Vietnam, but these two places play an important role in the company's future. Dave has been to Vietnam to see what's happening and what it all means. 
We also (finally) tell the story of how Dave managed to get his hands on the only Honda Element in Ireland, and how Cormac is the car equivalent of the CIA when it comes to tracking down vehicles.

EP37: Remembering Eddie Jordan & learning about Joe Kelly, Ireland's first F1 driver

This week we celebrate the life of Eddie Jordan. He contributed so much to not only Formula One, but to motorsport in general, and all while proudly flying the Irish flag. This week Neil Kavanagh, our resident motorsport historian, also tells us about Joe Kelly. Not only was Joe the first Irish driver to take part in an F1 race, he took part in the very first F1 race at Silverstone in 1950! On top of all that, he has a surprising link to Ferrari.

EP36: Ford's demise in Europe, next-gen MX-5 & the end of the Nissan GT-R

In this week's show we discuss where it all went wrong for Ford in Europe and how using older model names isn't always the wisest strategy. Looking at you, Ford Capri. Did you also know about Fordlândia, when Ford tried to make a city in the Amazon? We mourn the end of the R35 Nissan GT-R and discuss which direction Mazda could take with the next MX-5.

EP35: BMW's archive goes online, Volvo's ES90 and we attend Kia's EV Day

BMW has done something incredible that will have a massive effect on people's productivity. Its archive of models is now available digitally, and let us tell you, it's wonderful.
We also attended the world premiere of the new Volvo ES90, an electric saloon that, as we explain, isn't technically a saloon. 
Kia has unveiled a number of new electric cars, and we went to the EV Day in Barcelona to see what's up.

EP33: Saving a Volvo, driving a 23-window VW Samba Bus & the Alfa Romeo Junior

We cover a lot of ground this week but the big news is how we've saved not one, not two but three cars from being cut up forever. Dave also spends some time driving the new Volkswagen Transporter but really had his heart taken by a 23-window T1 Samba Bus. Switching back to more modern cars, we discuss the Alfa Romeo Junior that Dave has been testing this week.
