Sounds like Jonny's pit stop was at J4 at the end of the M50? I live nearby and am morbidly curious to check the roundabout for some unofficial Smith and Sniff merch ;-)

Jonny you fluty flute, an etymologist deals with words and how they came to be, not insects. It is entomology you're after.

I remember when, on holiday in Portugal, aged 12, I heard a scuttling sound in my bedroom in our apartment. I looked under the bed and saw a very big cockroach. I whacked it with a flip flop, and when I moved the flip flop, it just deployed it's legs and kept going, probably muttering "gotta try harder than that, English bastard" in Portuguese 😳🤣

Jonny's tale of the 'no choice' woodland ablution reminds me of a good friend who, whenever we went hiking, without fail had to crimp one off in a woodland setting...

I demand an 80s esque pop video to accompany the outro music.

Weirdly I'm on holiday on a cruise ship in docked in Santander overlooking the ferry queue a maestro van in the ferry queue on a g plate wonder if they have been touring around in it .

Richard. Maths remains your nemesis; 1993 - 35 = 1958, not 1968. However, this may be a symptom of the Decade Discrepancy virus, carried by Jonny from his recent exposure to SSG Tiff Needell🧐

No mention of Tiff!!!!!!???? 😢

Top Deck shandy!

Just used 'On The Other Side Of Things' in an email 😂.. He was being a bit of a Pilchard... So I had too. From the West Of The Midlands 😃 Jamie

Re: ABS on the cubs - It's pretty much mandatory if memory serves that all bikes have to have ABS nowadays. I think they stopped selling the cub here for a while as it only had single channel ABS, and the requirement is two channel (front and rear brakes)

Can't see the images, but Cavalier sounds like the rather blocky Cavalier Calibre body kit?

Man alive - have you seen the price of cubs???!

The engineering legend Alan Millyard has made a few V-twin from a few Honda Cub engines. And a motorbike with part of a radial engine.

I saw 4 middle aged men stood with there clubs the other week in carpark

G'day! 🤐

Crab sticks

Cheers mate thanks mate bye

Until then see you then, and all that...

Loved the night Saab track. Just wanted it to go on longer. :~}

Mr Sniff I put it to you sir! Using the same stunt drivers in the Grand Tour Office lunch-hour industrial estate racing, as the Top Gear, travelling salesman start-print-corby press-replace toner race. Disgraceful. Also can we expect more musical numbers from Guys Hey Guys?

Someone pls make a compilation of jonny doing the Predule 2.2 ye

“I feel like my dick shrunk a bit” -Jonny Smth

My maternal grandfather was the king of car overpacking. He and my grandmother were Francophiles and drove first an R5 then a Renault 18i….Very unusual choices in the USA. On one trip from FL to NC, leaving pre-dawn, he had packed the trunk of the 18 so tightly that the harness for the rear lighting had become dislodged. Now, He was a child of the great depression and could always mend and make do. In his struggle to remedy the failure he was able to access the bulb for the pass. Side rear marker light (USA spec) which was still working. Solution: remove it and jamb it into the socket for the pass. tail light. Off we went into the dark morning with 1 working light in the back of the car. He was also a famously bad driver who would let the car drift to the right before jerking it back on course with a quick jab left on the steering wheel….over and over again proceeding down a straight road. This was not such a problem in his big ‘72 Buick LeSabre as the car was so wollowy and the steering so slow that it just sort of squirmed along gently pitching and rolling. In the relatively tight steering yet softly sprung Renault, however, it bordered on inducing neck trauma. He also often went for overly aggressive downshifts whilst descending hills that threatened to zing the valves right through the hood of the car and forced passengers hard against the seatbelts. Bless him. I do miss him so. Thanks for the memories guys.

Ironically the move to touchscreens in cars was preceded in aircraft - so called glass cockpits in civil aviation like Garmin G1000 etc in the early noughties and multifunction displays in fighter jets like the F-15 and 18 and 16s. Presumably though important functions in a SAAB would also migrate to the steering wheel as a nod to HOTAS in fighters. Maybe 70s and 80s SAABs should have come with a 'manattino' style wheel a la the rotary dial for weapons and radar selection on the Viggen. I'm a massive pedant. Hope you don't hate me, I loved Steel Flies. Also omg I just got the pun in Steel Flies.

My brother sadly passed away last year at 58 because of damaged lungs and one of the probable causes is that he used to dismantle old garages for people in his youth and it may have been all the asbestos that damaged his lungs long term, so the danger is real. Be careful out there!

I saw a Bongo Friendee camper van on the freeway the other day. A very unusual sighting in California. I giggled thinking about all the fun times I'd had with my bongo friendees in my younger days...

Contender for longest notes held must be Thom Yorke in Radiohead's Street Spirit...

Richard has covered his dad's slightly ambitious overtake in a Seat on holiday where the frayed wire in the back caused a blood letting incident before. Many many podcasts ago IIRC

Jonny uttering the phrase "...tiller steered steam powered nonsense" has made my week. 😂😂

We used to go on holiday too, but in a massively overloaded morris marina 1.3 bouncing on its bump stops lol different times 😊

I'm 32 and remember when I was a high school one of the teaching assistants used to arrive in what was at the time a rather new Vauxhall VX220. I wondered how she could afford this on a teaching assistants wage.

CMTHB 2..2

Saab / fighter jet layout - pilot up front and two seats behind. Super aero profile.

Love the credits music. Black 900 turbo, red velour, dusk, your favourite driving gloves, open road, this music. Bliss.

Anyone else noticed that OTOSOT is pretty close to Otosan, the folk who made various Fords under license in Turkey?

G'day! 😗

I suspect that if you come to New Zealand, you won't want to leave. 😊

Going back to teachers... back in the mid 90s our Chemistry teacher Mrs Allen (also known as chicken legs) used to get dropped off by her husband, who was a teacher at the nearby college, in a beautiful bright red L reg Lancia Delta Integrale. I was always fascinated by the left hand drive. Fast forward a couple of years and I'm now at the college and Mr Allen has swapped his Lancia for a silver P plate Impreza WRX which I also fell in love with. Also I must add Mr and Mrs Allen were in their late 50s early 60s at the time so huuuge respect to Mr Allen and his cars!!

Andrew Ridgeley raced Renault 5 GT Turbo’s and then raced F3 in France after Wham

Just listened to this epidsod on the way back from the dentist of all things...and I have to go back for a filling: so much for 6 monthly visits. Teachers cars. Maths teachers in the early half of the 70's. One had a Citroen D Super 5, the other an E Type SII hardtop (and a VW bay window camper). The lads (us 14 year olds) all fancied the E Type apart from me. It took me 15 years to get a D Super 5 (still have it, still can't do maths). Today, my wife invigilates at a local secondary. The C63 AMG (full fat 6.2 with Performance Pack) stirs some kids attention - much more so than her EV - so there is still hope...

It’s 2024 and I’m here for the soul patch

As well as a Citroën steering wheel, the Bugatti Toblerone has a Volvo C30 'floating' dashboard. Apparently 2000s mainstream car design is the new inspiration for hypercars!

I think the hand-on-the-ground rollout is standard, large-person exit style. My Grade 10 homeroom and chemistry teacher (actual first name: Thor) exited his VW Bug that way. Mr. S likely weighed 280+ lbs.

I know I'm a week late but: the rule about LMH-vs-GT3 is that Manufacturers with existing Hypercar programmes were given priority for entering cars into the newly-instated GT3 class (replacing LM-GTE). Not the other way around. As for Cadillac, you could level the same questioning at Peugeot; none of its cars use a V6 anymore but the 9X8 does. Also, Mercedes is in F1 despite making realy heavy luxury cars. I think they just use Cadillac as it's GM's flagship brand and it spices up their image.

Teachers cars...stand out ones for me in high school were: Mr Bindeman in a rather shonky old BWW 728i with a green velour interior. Mr Lawrence in a then new Fawad Probe. Get this - Ms Spawort in a then new Fawad Fiesta Zetec S (Spowtaaah!)

The repeating of advertisement slogans reminded me of several that we repeated throughout my youth. 3 of the best would be; Kia-Ora "I'll be your dog!!!" Dime bar "That blokes a nutter, Oy nutter!!!!" Philadelphia "Trific" Live in the US now, my 13 yr old boy is into American muscle cars. Great podcast lads. Trific.

DCT, saved the best for last.

I grew up in a suburb of Detroit in the 70"s, I don't remember my 3rd grade teachers name but she showed up every day in a bright orange VW Karman Ghia cabriolet which was slightly scandalous in our American car friendly neighborhood.
