EP99: The best cars of 1999 with Nathan English

To mark the 99th episode of the 50to70 podcast, Dave and Cormac look back on some of the cars  that made their debut in 1999. It seems like such a long time ago now, pre-millennium. There was no iPhone, Facebook was still five years away and electric cars were little more than experimental vehicles. We're joined by Nathan English to look back through some of the hits, and some of the misses.
