Phil Weeden, Classics World: Driving on Dad's lap and how the seatbelt law saved Dad's life. S5E7
Manage episode 459792779 series 3467873
In the second of our full length live podcasts recorded at the NEC Classic Car Show we were joined by Phil Weeden, the MD of Kelsey Media and Classics World.
We have a great chat about his earliest car memories, what got him into the industry, his time editing Car Mechanics magazine, before taking the helm in charge of all Motoring titles at Kelsey Media.
From his first memory sat on his father’s lap, driving his Talbot (not Chrysler) Avenger around a car park, whilst waiting to pick his Nan up from work to a Ford Escort (with roof rack) which his Father could have died in…Having had a crash just 3 weeks after the seat belt laws came into place… and the seatbelt undoubtedly saved his life.
We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did making it.
Our thanks to Phil for his time.
