Smith and Sniff

Beset with technical problems including crashing software and randomly rebooting laptops, Jonny and Richard finally managed to record this show of nonsense with a few unwanted pops and squelches on the audio. Sorry about that. Topics covered this week include GT-Rs in Peaky Blinders, a trip to the corrections desk, random people on American internal flights, a confusion between 'loo' and 'poo', impersonating a peacock, bold claims in car ads, Japanese sports cars that look good without boot spoilers, Norfolk as the UK hotspot for cars for sale at the side of the road, USAF personnel driving American cars in Britain, giving away a Ford Raptor to an East Anglian grandma, San Franciscans dissolving in the rain, Richard's short review of the new Range Rover, Jonny watching Cliffhanger, the coolness of El Caminos, seeing a Rivian R1T in real life, the surprisingly nice new Toyota Venza, and John Travolta flying himself to the East of England to go on a deranged shellfish binge. patreon.com/smithandsniff Hosted on Acast.
