Show Notes
What happens when you go from fixing computers… to driving Ferraris?
In this episode, James and Will talk about what it’s really like being thrown in the deep end with supercars. From Will’s first drive in a Ferrari Scuderia to taking the F12 out solo, this is a candid look at the thrills, nerves, and surprises of getting used to fast cars for the first time — plus a few lessons learned about window switches, public reactions, and Italian quirks along the way.
• Will’s first time driving a Ferrari • James’s philosophy on sharing supercars with others • Why fast cars are about more than speed • Life behind the camera at JayEmm & Friends • Public reactions, community moments, and unforgettable memories

More from The Radiator Arms
After eight months away, James, Ant and Will are back at The Radiator Arms — catching up on what’s changed, what they’ve been driving, and where the last year has taken them.
As 2025 comes to a close, James, Ant and Will take a moment to reflect on how the year has shaped them as car people — from the cars they’ve driven and the experiences they’ve shared, to the moments that caught them off guard along the way.
Today we’re talking about the stuff even car enthusiasts get wrong on the road and on track — from confusing grip with handling, to misunderstanding weight transfer, to treating traction control like the enemy… and why “driving fast” still doesn’t automatically mean “driving well”.
This week, James, Ant and Will dig into the newly announced 3p-per-mile tax for EVs and ask the big question: will this ever actually happen? They explore what the tax means for everyday EV drivers, how it compares to the real-world running costs of petrol and diesel, and whether the policy makes sense at a time when manufacturers are already struggling to meet EV quotas.
It’s Christmas at The Radiator Arms, which means one thing: car-enthusiast gift chaos. James, Ant and Will go through the best, worst and most confusing Christmas car gifts — from genuinely useful tools and model cars to the presents no petrolhead actually wants. They also talk about nostalgic childhood gifts, bargain ideas, and the things you should probably avoid putting under the tree.
