Cheap Thrills is the podcast for people who love cars but don’t like spending money. From bargain performance cars and future classics to market place scams, bad-buys and brilliant sleepers. We hunt down the most fun you can have on four wheels for the least cash. If it’s a cheap, questionable, underrated or probably a bad idea.. it belongs here.
