Episode 17 - 'Steph From Idriveaclassic' - Wheels And Wings Podcast

[@levelcrossing150]

Great interview with Steph. I admire her passions for cars and her interests in 60's clothing, also her great strengths for getting through her personal challenges in life. She talks a lot of sense too.

[@craigjohnston1194]

Great chat guys, well done calling out these absolute cowards who use social media as a weapon to hurt people. You guys put yourselves out there in the public with nothing but the best intentions & I for one really appreciate it. Ben, good on you for using the pod cast to call this out.

[@jeffroberts3535]

Steph, you are a beautiful lady . And also a great and knowledgeable presenter who brings the subject alive with your passion for it. Love you loads.

[@chrisfrob]

What a brilliant chat. Steph.......you're a warrior and a huge inspiration. Keep up the good work. The World is yours. God Bless both of you and very much look forward to your future endeavours.

[@LordClunk]

Steph. You are amazing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@stevewhite1444]

This has to be one of the best things I’ve watched this year. Definitely Steph should be back on in the bar with you and Wynn. Always loved your approach to this Ben and Steph, well a whole new level of respect for your honesty and incredible outlook on life. You are an inspiration. Shame I won’t make it to Rustival but thanks to you both for this two hours of great viewing

[@stephenwestley1017]

Staff is the most honest down to earth KZbinr. The dynamics of you both ia superb and a few more collaborations would be fantastic

[@kelquadrant]

What that guy said 😊

[@allanmollison6971]

Really enjoyed this, thanks so much for sharing. I felt like I was sitting there with you both. 😊👍

[@brianfd622]

Both parts brilliant, Steph has a darker past than you would think, Respect Steph

[@Elvis35-77]

Oh man, I am so sorry this happened to you Steph, I had no idea! We all think you're absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful person! Your content is brilliant and it's no wonder you have a massive following here! Keep up the amazing work classy lady! TCB, Marty D💓

[@lucythemoggy1970]

aww, steph, so sorry to hear you had to go thru all that hate. You are an amazing lady, and I had the pleasure of meeting you at the mmoc rally in 2018 at kelmarsh when you interviewed me with my moggy. I am so glad you are still here and have been a subscriber from the early days. Keep crushing it girl!!

[@5065sjg]

Bring on more of Steph 😊Been great to see the dynamic between you two. booked for Rustival, have some bits for you Ben 👍👍

[@lucythemoggy1970]

Steph, never stop being you. You do your videos in your own style, not try to emulate others, it will make everything you do more genuine.

[@1981CJR]

Steph really and truly is, 100%, ineffably amazing! ❤ In fairness though, credit where it's due, Ben is pretty awesome too 😉

[@stuartingless7268]

I never comment, if i have nothing nice to say. and I just adopted a 16 year old cat, he is lovely.

[@mikebarmby3886]

Steph, I think you're bloody gorgeous! Great chat guys, you have a great chemistry. Should do more in the future.

[@lucythemoggy1970]

yeah a podcast with steph in the bar!!!

[@petervaughan4591]

So glad I signed up to the podcast Ben👍🏻 Angela Ripon was the original presenter of Top Gear….power to the women in the car world.

[@Lawdachris]

Heartbeat fear: when you've had your bath and the credits roll, theme tune plays and you know it's bedtime and there's a week of school ahead 😂😣 Very apt for a Sunday!

[@frazzleface753]

And you've not started your bloody homework!

[@philtaylor9038]

Great channel Ben glad I watched all of them. Steph has a heart of gold love that about her. The hub nut clan are fantastic. Cant forget Matt at furious driving . You have a great group of KZbinrs who see the same car from different angles. Glad to be a new subscriber on your channels Ben.

[@scottb926]

UP N DOWN is a great channel. Love Hilda the IMP. Heavily influenced me to buy mine.

[@JonnyGearjammer]

Steph is great & I've really enjoyed all of the stuff you have filmed with her. You both seem very relaxed in each other's company, which makes for an easy listen as the conversation was flowing well. I did meet Ian & Carly when they came up to Lincolnshire a couple of years ago & he drove my Volvo FH 44 tonner around for a bit & they too are lovely people. I can't make the next Rustival but will hopefully get to one at some point. On a different subject, I'm in Chester this coming weekend. Is the "best bar in Chester" open on Sunday or Bank Holiday Monday??

[@kelquadrant]

yes I would love to hear you Wynn and Steff having a chat ❤

[@DavidGriffiths-l3x]

Steph u look amazing fantastic video Steph and Ben all the best David xx

[@jockeshobbymeck]

Love this! Love both of your channels! It hit me direct when you said that some bloke thought you were like VGG and i remember that i was one of the blokes that commented that and it was never ment to be negative in any way 🙂 i love your videos mate 👍❤️

[@Qmark78]

Not sure on both of your relationship statuses, but defo chemistry there ❤👀

[@steveosshenanigans]

I recon there is too……

[@TheFusedplug]

I'll be doing a Ford Capri only channel...once I've got a Capri again ...erm it might be a bit crude at first but .. anyway Jan 2025 I'll be aiming my focus at that

[@ianmc1141]

Great vid Ben , Steph is amazing . As for the mini based car , is it the outspan orange 🍊 ?

[@paulmoore6345]

Enjoyed part 1 part 2 is great

[@steveshearer5897]

loving this podcast ben. Another good video mate. 👌👌

[@glencooper2295]

You are not stubborn you are strong minded. Keep strong and keep up the good work.

[@paulmoore6345]

Totally agree comments on modifying older cars. On my ex tasty classic 405 I have gone out of my way to try and get it to original and keep it there. The only modern twist is a stainless steel cat back exhaust which still manages to sound like it originally did. Authenticity is important. You want to get in the car and be transported back in time

[@mikes747]

My wife is the bigger girl and i caught someone saying something about her in the supermarket once. They thought they hadn't been heard but once they had picked themselves up off the floor courtesy of myself I think they got the message! Absolute disgrace that Steph was put in that whole situation!

[@davidhall4079]

Just love steff those trols should just do one nothing wrong with her I'm a big man and have had mental illness so good on her .and yes have her back on with you and wyn ❤❤❤

[@dtkoinew]

I've just watched both I've watch your tasty classics since the mondeo episode and its mint, and I get the KZbin seen as im on youtube my slef but im all about koi lol as its a brilliant place and always got to see the positives and brings alot of people together

[@steveosshenanigans]

I loved heartbeat i used to have the same bike as Nick but it wasn’t in police trim, and i loved lovejoy that was a brilliant show ….you should watch it Steph lovejoy drove around in morris minor

[@CortinasAndClassics]

I am looking forward to Rustival Ben. Sadly I can't bring my cars though.

[@johnclements6852]

Great interview, Ben, but I suggest you watch it again as there were numerous occasions when Steph started to explain something, and you spoke over her, killing off the information she wanted to convey. This is meant to be a constructive comment, I enjoyed both your interview of Steph and hers of you. The best interviewer I've seen was the late Michael Parkinson. Perhaps watching some of his shows and learning from his interviewing style will help you. All the best from Christchurch NZ

[@d33b33]

Link didn't appear, had to search for it. Anyway, do you have a bike license? The reason I ask is because you'd look regal on a Honda Goldwing. Those Goldwings are an absolute treasure trove of tiny engineering tidbits that even the car crowd would nod approval to. "Wing" to a biker means Goldwing.

[@awalk5177]

Kinder eggs were stopped in America because they were either worried about, or actually happened, that a child may swallow the toy. At about the same time a woman went through a Drive Thro McDonalds, bought a coffee and placed it between her legs and drove off, at which point it spilled and scalded her and she sued McDonalds for millions. McDonalds then dropped the temperature of their coffee which is why McDonalds coffee is just about warm. That is America and the litigation culture.

[@WheelsandWingsPodcast]

I remember reading about the coffee lawsuit!

[@awalk5177]

@@WheelsandWingsPodcast I was in USA working at the time. There was also the OJ Simpson trial and the conviction of a young English Nanny who was left holding a damaged baby and then blamed for its death. Later she came home and became a Lawyer. Also the security guard who found a bomb in a plastic bag and had his life ruined as he was the easiest target to blame when they could find nobody else. It is a medieval place.

[@LordClunk]

My car came with black wheels. :(

[@jayslittleprojects1431]

I am a big man and I get a lot of bad comments as well.

[@TheFusedplug]

What i don't like about what people do to classic cars is when they cut the arches to make room for ridiculously large wide wheels . Work with what you've got and don't cut anything away unless it's rusty.. and put new metal back ok ..rant over I hope I don't and haven't offended by mentioning VGG (Vice Grip Garage) i watch Tasty Classics too with equal enjoyment...the other thing is i am sorry Steph was driven to taking her life or attempted to ... I tried to end my life in 2007 and overdosed i was found outside the train station taken to hospital was on icu for a week..❤🙏✝️God bless

[@aslandama]

I agree on the senseless destruction of any car for entertainment, even a scrapper deserves to be broken for parts if possible but of course really poor cars should be recycled. I was an avid follower of Auto Sportivo channel before they put out shorts showing mindless stuff with old Alfas and Fiats and I ended my subscription to their channel. I'm probably cutting off my nose to spite my face as they cover all the cars I absolutely love and maybe I'm being over sensitive so I may check them out again at some stage.

[@aslandama]

Sorry Ben, I've 5 cars and 4 of them have black wheels!!

[@WheelsandWingsPodcast]

Is that from the factory? Or have you painted them black?

[@aslandama]

@@WheelsandWingsPodcast Fiat Seicento....painted, Alfa 166 bought wheels, Nissan Elgrand diamond cut and black bought wheels and finally Alfa 145 Cloverleaf 155 wheels painted black.
