Hello you. What have we got here then? Well, there a few pics of the new Lotus Electricalsocket, in case you haven't seen that yet. Then we have Roy Orbison looking like a fancy dress version of himself, a delightful 1955 Cadillac, Richard with Elisa Artioli (and resented teddy bear sweater), Bru...

We're leading this week with a picture of Michael Keaton at the Pretty In Pink premiere wearing a tie with a casual jacket. Of course we are. That's followed by the weird derelict mortuary with the Audi TT convertible outside that Richard mentions, and then a pair of Belisha beacons in case some ...

We're back on video except this one's only for you, our wonderful Patrons. This is the new podcast (with a slightly different start and end) but you can see us talking. Hope you like it.
In this episode we talk about, amongst other things, knock-off A-ha, cars in property ads, conspic...

Ahoy lovely Patrons and welcome to the 100th episode of Smith and Sniff. Except it isn't actually the 100th episode because the very first one was accidentally numbered 00 and before that there was an unbroadcast pre-production prototype and of course the Patreon-exclusive episode over Christmas ...

Well here we are again and what do we have in pictures this week? Well, we start with the VW ID.Buzz, obviously. Then we have an alternative version which Richard created in Photoshop after someone on Twitter pondered what the Buzz would look like in all-over grey with those retro wheels off the ...

Jonny and Richard attempt to talk about the Volkswagen ID.Buzz but get slightly distracted by unexpected wetsuits, the Bristol Channel, Florence out of Florence + The Machine as a mermaid, meeting an etceterist, a weird homemade song about Boots Vouchers, walloping 909 beats, Federal-spec Peugeot...

Hello you. Some notes to go with this abnormally throat clearing episode of the podcast. For pics, we've got the Morgan Super3, the SAAB Toppola, and the Citroen 'SexTourer' followed by the Ford Aerostar and it's follow-up, the ultra soggy Windstar. Finally, Richard's original notes for his idle ...

Hello gang. A trio of SAAB pics for you this week, starting with that brilliant 99 Turbo wheel (the design was called 'Inca', fact fans), then a nice 99 Turbo in full, and the interior of a later model in a questionable purple with red paint combo. EDIT: Added the Pepsi Concorde so it's not all S...

Hi gang. A feeble set of show notes this week, to go with the feeble podcast. Sorry about all this. Business as usual next week, we hope. In pictures we've got two shots of Richard's Range Rover and then the excellent fake YouTube graphic for Jonny's mythical horse care channel, courtesy of Talk ...
2022-02-13 18:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostRichard is flying solo this week and spends most of the podcast droning on about his Range Rover and then mangling the pronunciation of German words. Sorry.

Hello again, lovely Patrons. We lead this week with a screen grab of D.I. Jack Frost with his old Sierra and follow it with a pic from the evo magazine archive of Richard in 2006 interviewing a conspicuously not-as-tall-as-he-is-now Gordon Murray. Then we have two shots of the bizarre, V6-powered...
2022-02-06 18:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostJonny and Richard wonder about a forgotten and very noisy part of the Mod scooter scene.
Also in this episode, the cars of A Touch of Frost, annoyingly needless idling, a BMW problem that only affects police cars, meeting someone from The Bill, seeing a Toyota Blade and wondering if G...

Leading this week with some images of Gordon Murray's new T.33 before moving on to that distinctive ex-BOC office, the 1980s Weetabix advert cartoon characters, and the cover of that 'win a 924S' issue of CAR magazine.

Jonny's been to see Gordon Murray and Richard has weird memories of trying to win a Porsche 924S.
Plus, some lesser known facts about the GMA T.33, the kind of Terminator robot that does admin, the cost of servicing a Ford GT, and discovering where Weetabix comes from.

Hello again friends. What do we have this week? Well, first up is a picture of that SL280 that Jonny spotted in London. His memory was playing tricks because it's not silver, although the tape holding the mirror on is. Then we have those odd Palm Angel ads, a picture of Coronation Street stalwart...

Hello gang. Here we go with this week's show notes. The pics show one of the 'drift spec' Discoverys that Richard spotted in Bristol, the rug-kneeling way Jonny recorded this podcast, and the very small bathroom at his new office.

Hello again gang. A cluster of pics for you this week, starting with Her Majesty in her old money L322 Range Rover. Green, clear glass, dog guard, nice. Shame about the bonnet ornament. Keen Royal car watchers will note that in recent memory she's also been seen driving a Jag X-Type estate. ...

Hello gang, and a very Happy Christmas/Festivus/holidays to you.

Hello there. What's going on this time around? Who knows. Jonny and Richard both a bit tired this week which might explain why they were so giggly about a deeply childish lyric changing game.
