Smith and Sniff

Limp home mode

Ep. 139

In their last show of the year Jonny and Richard are in a rustic room together discussing DIY AdBlue, James Dyson’s thirst headaches, Ozzy Osbourne’s quad bike for sale, forgetting which side your fuel filler is on, a man in a Suzuki Carry filling too many jerry cans, the ancient art of hanging a tennis ball from the garage ceiling, drying a damp car interior, how to say Ka, the world’s smallest exhaust pipe, limp home mode, Richard’s dad’s Talbot Solara getting jammed in gear, a Volvo garage with a very long name, the angel fish of cars, off-brand sit-coms, getting ghosted by Chris Harris, the history of the motorsport jacket, accidentally sitting on Richard Hammond’s breakfast, an Australian horribly misusing a Dyson hand dryer, and EMF getting swearing into the charts. Thanks to everyone who has supported Smith and Sniff in 2022. See you next year.
