PD130s, Hilux Surfs & Too Much Horsepower | Redline Republic Podcast Ep.28

7 Aug 2026 · 1 h 17 min · Episode 28 · Explicit

Badger is back from Tenerife this week, and somehow a holiday story ends with four e-scooters doing 25km/h on a motorway. We catch up on what we’ve been at, Dan finally makes the jump from a Logitech to a MOZA R5, and somehow get sidetracked into toll booth disasters, aquaplaning on the motorway and some questionable public toilet stories.

Then we get into the actual car chat, are people far too obsessed with horsepower? We talk 300+ bhp PD130s, massively overpowered road cars, how much power you can realistically use in Ireland and why a slower car can sometimes be a lot more fun. We also give a small update on plans for our own Cars & Coffee and, as usual, end up going down a few completely unrelated rabbit holes along the way.

Let us know what you think, how much horsepower is actually enough for a road car?
