About this episode

Peter Robinson, a veteran motoring journalist, joins the podcast to discuss his career and share insights on cars.

Peter Robinson was Autocar's European Editor for 16 years as part of a 54 year career as a full-time motoring journalist. As the Editor of Wheels magazine, 'Robbo' gave Steve Cropley his first job in motoring journalism. And given he was in the UK, we couldn't not get Peter to appear on the podcast to catch up with Cropley and Prior. Join our trio as they talk cars new and old, plus some of Peter's career highlights and lowlights. And if you want to read some of the greatest stories ever written in a car magazine, you can do so by subscribing to Autocar and gaining access to the full 131 archive, by clicking here.
