Smith and Sniff

Roll back kicks in

Ep. 107

Jonny's just got off a plane and Richard has been out drinking so it's a low energy show in which topics covered include Wherever I Lay My Hat lyrical confusion, the hungry horse Porsche, changing oil without turning the engine off, an unstoppable Austin Cambridge, reviews of the Mercedes EQS, Ford Puma hybrid and an excellent new book about the car industry, jabbing a wasps' nest after half a bottle of wine, Nic Cage's terrible jacket in Gone In 60 Seconds, Nick Knowles's motorbike clothes, the fashions of LJK Setright, liking the VW Multivan, Jonny's repeated drives to York, more bloody Marillion stuff, car delivery window mishaps, unlikely banger cars, snooker commentators on the short oval, cliches of car journalism, goth curtains, and smutty insinuations about static engines. She can do this all day!
