Another brilliant episode! Some perspective having owned a BX 16v and an Alfa 75 (V6) *and* having learned to drive in my father's Montego Turbo. If I owned them now, the only time I would use the MG would be to park it across the other two to stop them being stolen. Other two genuinely both excellent cars. BX was fast and rode so well with *that* suspension, and the Alfa, whether Twin Spark or 3.0 litre Busso, had character all day long. However, the 75 did have the most impossible interior ever - when Alfa made the 156 they hid the rear door handles to make it look like a coupe; when they made the 75 they hid the *inside* door handles - assumedly because the design team were all hooked on hallucenogens (electric window switches in the roof panel? that handbrake thingy??). On the other hand - oversteer on demand from about 30mph. If someone hadn't rear-ended it about 20 years ago I would probably still have it.
Absolutely great chat! Cheers lads! And yes I also cannot STAND motoring "influencers" who bring no real depth of knowledge or driving ability and are brainwashing the youth... Get off my lawn.
The Toyota Supra in Australia has been a huge disappointment, as people have been waiting for their hero car for years after seeing the prototype design, but it looks like bits tacked onto a BMW. The local Toyota has had a GR demo for ages, and now it has so many km on it, that its now for sale in their used car section.
As a hugely tragic fan of all things wheeled and Japanese since the 80's, my massive beef with the Supra is that Toyota seemed to completely overlooked the tie-in with their (perhaps hollow) Le Mans / WEC victories in recent previous years. They could have made the Supra a hugely celebratory swan song based on their triumphs in the insane TS LMP-1 cars and the Gazoo Racing brand in general with so much success across so many classes of motorsport, but they seem to have really missed a trick. Disappointed :(
I really like listening to these. Not sure who the target audience is. Kind of like just listening in on some buddies talk cars. Only note, and this is just kind of just silly, sometimes it seems like you guys really believe a Land Rover or Aston is an aspirational car globally. In the colonies, these are seen as giant hunks of shit bought by assholes or rich blond women.
Loving these podcasts!! Porters parody of influencers made me laugh out loud, brilliant!!!! "Hi Guys....." 😂

Been loving these so far gents. A video setup would be awesome too. I’m sure it’s in the pipeline mind!
Love the content and the discussion. 'Olly High Guys' from on the rim. Brilliant.
My favorite episode by far, laughed so much my stomach hurts.
Somehow Mr Porter is much funnier in the company of Mr Harris, please invite him again.
Bloody brilliant! Thanks guys. 👍🏻
These are awesome. Thx for doing this - I had it in my feed after Sam from seen through glass.
I've never heard Chris laugh like this before. Great episode 👍
Really enjoyed these during this lockdown. Funniest one I’ve Listen to.
Can't believe these don't have more views. Absolute gem!
Re listened to this just now...... hilarious. Chris and Richard superb together...top anecdotes 😂
"They look like Yoda and drive like Alain Prost" (on the french farmer driving like a lunatic). Cracked me up
Really enjoying these conversations - any chance of getting Harry Metcalfe on ??
Yes.. yes there is..
Yes! Get Harry!
And Henry Catchpole as well.
@@robertrishel3685 Chris said in another of these that he's going to get Henry on one of these one day.
i know Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch new movies online?
@Huxley Kylo Meh lately i have been using Flixportal. Just search on google after it=) -brendan
How did it take me so long to hear about this and then find it?!
Loved this one. I didn't really know who Richard porter was but he's bloody hilarious and a great storyteller.
Give Smith & Sniff a go on UA-cam. It is utter drivel and bloody hilarious!
It’s hysterical listening, there’s been moments where my coworkers will stare at me crying with laughter
Absolutely love this! Top stuff!
I love all the accident stories, makes me feel better about all mine lol
Keeping it real....love it

Absolutely great chat! Cheers lads! And yes I also cannot STAND motoring "influencers" who bring no real depth of knowledge or driving ability and are brainwashing the youth... Get off my lawn.
Are those olly (ollie) high guys videos on youtube? I don't see them on the Smith & Sniff channel.
Troy Queef ahahahaha😂😂

Check your audio levels. The laughing is way loud meanwhile the conversations are whisper-quiet.
You've GOT to do videos guys. I swear Chris no one doing cars should be making more UA-cam money than you. Get it together lol
Mr Porter is a very funny guy!
Renault Montego?
Richard Porter likes the sound of his own voice.
would love to see a v8 supercar driver on! like David Reynolds or Mark Skaife, someone good at a good chat!
love it
