Goodwrench meets the Marx Brothers in these laugh-out-loud collections from CarTalk, the Peabody-winning call-in radio show. Tom and Ray Magliozzi (“Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers”) lead boisterous, freewheeling discussions about radiators and fuel pumps, love and the meaning of life.
CarTalk Classics
This Car Talk set is for fans who want to waste another four perfectly good hours. Rather than a “best of” collection, it’s four complete shows—every call, every joke, every “Don’t drive like my brother” admonition, every puzzler, every punny mention of a fictional show staff member (chauffeur Picov Andropov, night club manager Don Kashane), and every maniacal laugh.
Original radio broadcast. 4 hours on four cd's.
