Smith and Sniff
Sporks: M3 Touring v F-Pace SVR
Ep. 150
•
Jonny and Richard have been driving two fast, practical and slightly irrelevant cars. Also in this episode, having to use the facilities in a small independent garage, BMW selling xDrive to people who don’t need it, a ‘90s smoking horse, news from the man who supplied the cars to The Gold, the expression ‘take it for a spin’, seeing a Mercedes 500E, the Porsche 989, the milky second GTI in the mk4 Golf range, dropping one in Simon Le Bon’s boiler room, and behind the scenes on Jonny’s shoot with The Beast.
