Best episodes of The Ditch Finders | Automotive Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

EP. 24 - Tom Bought a Car & What Makes a Petrol Head?

A Jag purchase opens into a loose, watchable conversation about cars, attention, and why making things should still be fun.

The car-buying thread is the clear hook, and it works because the search feels uncertain rather than staged. It moves from MX-5s and TTs through older and newer M cars, F-types, and Maseratis before settling on a 2017 Jaguar F-type V6 aerodynamic P380, which lands as the real…

EP. 22 - There Is Hope... Reviewing 2026 New Cars

A loose, lively return that turns early 2026 car news into a proper enthusiast debate.

The Ditch Finders are back after about a month away, and this first 2026 episode is mostly a catch-up on recent car talk, from the Monte Carlo Rally to the early shape of the year's performance news.

EP. 16 - What Are the Worst Car Trends? Fake M Badges, Performance SUVs…

A planned, slightly wandering car chat that moves from race craft to performance SUVs and listener prompts.

The episode starts by noting that it was recorded a week early because the hosts are off to Spain for a stag do, then settles into a planned, lightly meandering chat that works best when the pair are bouncing off each other.

EP. 23 - Best Car For £30k? & Talking Ferrari Luce

Casual car chat that turns price, feel, and taste into a lively enthusiast argument.

The episode starts as a casual car chat and stays that way, moving from the new F1 2026 liveries and Ferrari Luce to higher price brackets, then to a drift-button Mercedes-Benz GLE 53, performance SUVs, and what to do with 30 grand.

EP. 21 - TDF Wrapped! One Year Review & 2026 Plans

A year-end car chat that turns the E46 M3 into the episode's clearest pull.

This year-end car conversation settles into a grounded snapshot of the show: two enthusiasts weighing an F-Type V6S against an E46 M3 that starts to feel like now-or-never money.

EP. 19 - Unveiling TDF 'Phase 2' Plans! & Talking the Future of ICE Engines

A scrappy relaunch that settles into a worthwhile hydrogen-and-engine conversation.

The relaunch sits at the centre here: The Ditch Finders use Phase 2 to point to where the show is going, note that the past year went into learning filming, uploading, recording and editing, and present the reset as a more organised second attempt.

EP. 18 - M2 First Impressions, Guess The Price & Ugliest New Cars

Wedding-week banter turns into a sharp guessing game about car prices and what they are actually worth.

The episode keeps its momentum in a wedding-week countdown, then turns that pressure into a loose guessing game about used exotics and auction prices.
