The Last Word on Cars

Every Monday at 5.45, Anton Savage joins us to talk about all things motoring.

From master-cylinders to motorsport, Anton and Matt discuss makes, models, problems and prices. If you’ve got some money to spend and want a recommendation, or if you have a squeak or a rattle (in your car) and want to know what it is, or if you want simply to know the difference between your e.s.p. and your a.b.s., fire us an e-mail to lastwordmotoring@todayfm.com.

About Anton Savage: Anton has been a petrol-head since the age of six - when he learned to drive! Since then he’s driven all sorts of cars, bikes, boats and quads. He’s also aged (badly). The list of vehicles includes superbikes, race-cars, muscle cars and a long line of decrepit relics (the ones he bought instead of borrowing.). He’s done advance driver training with the Skip Barber race school in the States and races Formula Sheane in Ireland with the Sheane Cars factory team. His interest in the oily bits of cars began with a 1973 Alfasud which he attempted to keep alive. He failed. But it led to his theory that there is nothing you cannot do with a vise-grips and a roll of duct tape. He also recently re-built a three-cylinder diesel tractor (badly – but the manual was in Chinese).

Should we turn off the lights?

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

The British government is strongly considering switching off motorway lights to save on cash and carbon - would this be a good idea in Ireland? Anton was joined by Conor Faughnan of AA Ireland to discuss this. Also discussed was Conor and Anton's contrasting experiences in recent electric car test drives!
