The Vinyl Roof with Jason: "The Austin Allegro – Britain’s Shitebox Supreme"
Join Jason, your foul-mouthed, lager-swilling host, as he tears into the Austin Allegro—a car so bloody awful it makes a kick in the bollocks feel like a spa day. In this filthy, X-rated episode of The Vinyl Roof, we dive arse-first into the history of this British Leyland disaster: a rust-bucket born in the ‘70s that couldn’t outrun a three-legged dog. From its hideous jelly-mould design to its knack for breaking down mid-motorway, Jason rips the piss out of every dodgy detail—think wonky steering wheels, vinyl roofs peeling like a prossie’s knickers, and engines with less grunt than a pensioner’s fart.
Hear two gut-busting letters from ex-owners—Mick from Doncaster and Sharon from Swindon—who lived the Allegro nightmare and survived to tell the tale (barely). It’s crude, it’s loud, and it’s packed with enough sarcasm to choke a Tory MP. Tune in for 4000 words of unhinged ranting about the car that proves Britain can’t build anything worth a toss. Warning: not for the faint-hearted or anyone who thinks beige is a personality. Available now—grab it, you filthy bastards!
