Jonny and Richard are taking a break so here are some Smith and Sniff greatest hits from those old videos where they had lunch in a parked car. Topics covered in this flashback episode include the point of Magnus Walker, Jackie Stewart's West End Show and restomod, Jonny having a weird weekend with a Vectra VXR, Richard arguing with a car wash man about the size of the Rover 75, a second rate Knight Rider convention, ironic replicas, why dentist surgeries have fish tanks and not a duck waddling about the place, Jonny's mashed-up housemate and his love of the Prelude 2.2, leaving a car on Bono's driveway, Annie Lennox's weird pronunciation, and a man who drank an entire bottle of Captain Morgan spiced rum and got into a multi-part trouser catastrophe.

Special thanks to Ian Deeley for audio assistance on this episode.

Shaky's Christmas Cadillac Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

Jonny and Richard wonder what Shakin' Stevens drives and conclude that it must be some sort of bad Cadillac. Also in this festive-ish episode, the Suggs scale of jerky singers, the money musicians make from Christmas songs, a new and extremely stupid seasonal lyric changing game, the annoyance of tiny ice cubes, how to get rid of things you don't need, and Jonny's eventful trip to Somerset in his Dodge Charger. Plus, Richard has found a flaw with the otherwise fabulous Bentley Mulsanne, Volkswagen seems to be giving its cars nocturnal monobrows, and our first father and son listeners' stories section brings us tales of Germanic voice recognition and a restomodded lawnmower.

Massive thanks to everyone who has supported Smith and Sniff this year. We really do appreciate your high tolerance for our meandering output. There'll be more of the same, and hopefully some new developments, in 2022.
