Happy new year! Alistair and George are back with another episode of the AutoChat podcast, and their first of 2022.

This episode, Alistair reports back on his Christmas hire car, a slightly disappointing but frugal Volkswagen Golf, while George gets his Covid booster from a van in a car park, and gives the MG Maestro some TLC.

They also get distracted by a record-breaking number of Nigels gathered in a pub, the most popular cars of 2021, the purchase of a Ford Transit Sport, and the upcoming Formula One season.
