The Grey NATO – 174 – It's Henry Catchpole!
The Grey NATO – 174 – It's Henry Catchpole!
Ladies and gentlemen, this has been a long time coming and we couldn’t be happier to be publishing an episode featuring a chat with the lovely Henry Catchpole. He’s one of our fav personalities from the world of automotive journalism – hosting videos for Carfection and writing for great outlets like EVO magazine and The Intercooler. Along with being a major voice in the automotive space, Henry is also an avid cyclist and a watch enthusiast, so you know we didn’t run out of stuff to talk about!
Apart from our lengthy chat with Henry, this episode also features a discussion of The Rescue, Jason’s latest regatta-timing acquisition, and a classic set of high-revving and high-flying picks for Final Notes.
As a final thought, this is the last episode we will publish in 2021 and we want to thank you all for listening, for commenting, for sharing the show with your friends, and for directly supporting the show. We couldn’t be more thankful for each and every interaction we’ve had with you all this year and we’re awfully excited for 2022.

-Sir Stirling Moss
Watching the video of Henry's RS2000 took me back to my youth of leafing through Demon Tweeks catalogs and Cars & Car Conversions magazines. Rallying was my life for a number of years and was always wishing to be on the other side of the pond, more opportunities for stage rallies and so much less towing than what we dealt with in North America.
Good episode guys!
So good to have Henry on the podcast. He is my favourite car journalist (with Chris Harris a close second). Henry always has a fresh and thoughtful perspective, while still delivering the essentials.
