Recorded a few days before Christmas, Jon and Andy discuss the closing of a chapter... It revolves largely around the sale of Jon's E39 5 Series, whether he will get another, and the process behind picking a CD to leave behind, as a token...

So here is a very short and silly snippet of an interview Andy did with his 7 year old Daughter before the podcast became a real thing...
