Yo soy Johnny Smith.
Yo soy Richard Porter.
Y esto es Smith & Sniff, un podcast en el que dos amigos hablan de carros y muchas otras cosas.
Déjame decirles sobre el U-turn de Traveler Sight en Wales que hice hace dos días.
Ok.
Fue following my sat-nav.
Y esto no solo me ha ocurrido.
Porque se ha ocurrido en las fotos antes,
donde estoy llegando a una foto.
Y así es como el videógrafo.
Y tenemos el mismo link.
Tenemos el mismo link de adresión.
Y puedes justificarlo en tu mapa de Google o tal.
Y él murió ahí de la hotel en ocho minutos.
Y después de un día,
me explico por qué.
Me explico por qué.
Y también.
En el medio del mundo, en el sur de Wales,
intentando encontrar una barra,
una muy buena barra.
Y sabía que el hombre vivía en una farm.
Y entonces me subí a un rato,
que me pareció muy bien.
Y fue muy rápido,
y también muy...
¡Fleitipi!
¡Fleitipi!
Y me dijeron,
¡Mmmh!
He encontrado una construcción de Ramshackle,
en el lado de la derecha,
que me hiciste una foto,
porque pensé, ¿Es la construcción de ese hombre?
Esa era una construcción muy pequeña.
Y alguien había sprayado un aerosol,
CCTV en el lado de la barra,
en las letras de 7 ft.
Pero no he visto ninguna cámara.
Solo decía CCTV.
Ok.
Y también ha habido una construcción de eso.
Y unos pequeños, pequeños всquínticos,
y me addícieron casi como sagte para ayudar.
Una vez me estaba preocupado en todo lo que había hecho.
Y sabía que habría salvado a ellos.
Pero, de la stitches,
he involucrado y tirando a episodio.
Y me ha encontrado.
Pero, no...
Tuve una foto y has stosado
dos chumas en tu bolso.
Honestamente,
he estado como un...
¿Cómo se va a tener una així visita?
No hay mucha ruina en una barra.
No lo sé.
Sí.
Tengo una barra por la razón de lo explicaré un minuto.
Pero, me quedé más abajo en el tren, y el tren se murió a los brazos.
Y yo estaba diciendo, ¡Muy bien, esto es un trato raro!
No puedo creer que este hombre estaría aquí, está en carros y no sé cómo esto va a funcionar.
Me quedé cerca de lo que parecía una construcción en la distancia.
Y luego, la rueda se arrojó y pensé que no iba a entrar en ese tipo de área.
Voy a entrar en el right-hand fork, que fue un gato a un río que había sido completamente arrojado
por un vehículo, al punto en el que era de U-shape.
Era completamente de U-shape, un gato muy substancial galvanizado, pero era como un gran U.
Y había sido tostado a la izquierda, y pensé, ¡Bloodya!
Entonces, fui a este río, y era un río que estaba subiendo a un río que tenía que
ir un poco de camino para salir de los tranchos.
Para ir a la venta estúpida, y para salir de la venta.
Y cuando me subí a la venta, miré donde había ido el left-hand fork,
donde vi un construcción, y era un sitio de viajes.
Y cuando me subí a la venta, yo y mi gran van,
eran muy noticias, y vi algunas personas escrablando a un tipper transitario.
Entonces, cuando llegué hacia el río, a donde el fork estaba en el río de Broken Brick,
había un tipper transitario, empiezo el río, y me subí a la venta,
y era right behind me, al punto en el que pensé que estaba subiendo a la venta.
Y tenía que ir a, no sé, unos 10 miles de hora sobre Broken Bricks,
porque pensé que no quería ir a la venta, en particular.
Había que salir, pasé a las kittens en la cctv,
y then headed into the town,
thinking this is clearly not the right location.
Phoning Phil to say, this is not the right location, are you there?
And then he was trying, my phone stopped working,
and I still don't know why, it just would not process whatever I was asking it to do.
And I was being chased by some angry men in a transit tipper,
three abreast, always a danger sign, three abreast in a tipper.
So I just ended up having to wait for my navigation to try and boot up and work.
Whilst being chased down some streets by a transit tipper.
Bear in mind this was rush hour as well,
so we were doing about, I don't know, 20 miles an hour,
between 20 and 30 most of the time.
Finally got through to Phil,
and went Phil, you've got to send me the details of this shoot,
because I don't know where I'm going and I'm being chased by travelers.
It's quite urgent, but I had to detour about 12 miles
in order to shake off these people before arriving
an hour late to my barn find, extremely flustered.
And so that was the start of my morning,
but it ended really well because that evening I went,
I finished the barn find and I went to go and pick up some matrimonio parts,
hence the van.
And I met one of the most SSGs out there,
and I want to just say what a lovely man Dick Husband is.
Dick Husband?
I met a man called Dick Husband who owns Angel Motors,
Dick at Angel Motors, and what a nice guy.
He runs this little business and he has an eBay shop
and he hasn't asked me to say any of this,
but I feel like I've got to.
He's one of those older guys who's so committed to saving cars
and trying to repurpose new old stock parts.
And he specializes in like Talbot, Simca, Peugeot,
and Land Rover and Triumph.
Oh, I was going to say,
if you were about to say he specializes in Talbot parts,
I was like, I bet the little bell on the door of his shop
doesn't ring very often because that's a niche.
Yeah, he needs to make friends with some French people,
most definitely.
No, it's fine, we're good for parts.
Thank you very much.
But Dick Husband is, he welcomed me in,
he dug out some parts from when he converted a run show
years ago, working for a dealer, to disability,
mobility spec, which is what mine is.
And he said, I've got a brand new rear seat
and rear headrests and everything.
And he said, for all I know,
it could be out of your car, who knows.
So I bought those and many other things
and then went on a tour with a head torch in his building,
which I did take my vlog camera.
But he said, oh, you know, I'm just,
they've put the costs up of this enormous unit that I'm in.
They've over doubled it in the last year
and they said, I don't want to throw all this stuff away,
I want to sell it.
So he's got his eBay shop
and he's got his email address, he's on WhatsApp
and he's just trying to find homes
for all of this lovely stuff.
Just boxes of new old stock things
and nice second hand things.
So big shout out to Dick Husband at Angel Motors.
He's in Whitland or Whitland in South Wales.
I'll put his details in various places
but a sweet, sweet guy and invited me
and insisted I had a ginger biscuit.
Yeah, and it was just, it was great joy.
And I think the world needs more Dick Husbands.
I never thought I'd say that, but I think it does.
Because, yeah, he's just extremely dedicated
and it's almost not about the money.
It's just about making sure that this part of these stuff
doesn't turn into landfill,
which is what he kept saying.
I just don't want it to all just get binned and.
It's so, it's like that.
It's a strange situation that in as much as
he's probably got parts there
that are incredibly rare
and somebody will need them, but perhaps not today.
They'll need them in a couple of years time.
And so he, it's admirable
that he's not just chucking them in a skip
but it's just sad that also people may not realize
that they need what he's got until it's too late.
So that's, it's the same logic I use with my wife
when she goes, well, are you gonna throw that away?
And I'll go, no, I might need it.
And she's like, when will you need it?
I don't know, a couple of years time.
And she's like, but it's just gonna sit
and do nothing.
In the kitchen for two years, yeah.
But that's the point, isn't it?
Well, you don't want not.
Yeah, yeah, it is.
It always happens though.
I'll just go, oh, I don't, do you know what?
We've got all this chicken wire.
I don't need chicken wire.
I'm going at the tip.
I'll throw the chicken wire away.
And then a week later go, oh shit,
there's a huge hole in the fence.
I wish I had some chicken wire.
I wish I had some chicken wire.
I'd like to also talk about
on the way home last night
when I was in the same van
but with lots of Matarancho parts.
Lovely, lovely things,
including a new old stock front panel.
Yeah, I want to talk to you
about the pillowy gargoyle
that I saw sat in an Audi SQ7
in the services.
Can I talk to you about that?
What's it?
You're gonna have to now.
It's a man.
It's raised more questions than it's answered.
Well, a man in an SQ7
parked opposite me in this car park,
services car park.
I was minding my own business
just eating my dinner in the van.
Engine turned off.
And he was in the passenger seat.
The engine was running.
And he was eating.
I think he got one of those fluorescent yellow chow mains
that you get from services.
You know the ones.
But the alarm went off.
So he hurriedly shuffled out of the SQ7,
ran around to the driver's side,
got in it, did something
and then got back out and got into the passenger seat
and carried on eating.
And then about four minutes later
the alarm went off again.
And he had to do this.
He did this three times.
And I can only describe his face
looked like a child had made a gargoyle
using an old bedroom pillow.
It's the only way I can describe it.
It's a pillowy gargoyle of a man.
But with also a big necklace.
And I don't think gargoyles wear necklaces,
but maybe they do.
And so I watched this unravel for ages.
And do you know what?
I don't have any sympathy for him,
which is why I'm calling him a pillowy gargoyle
because I don't understand why you'd sit
for 20 minutes in the services car park
with your fucking engine running.
It's stupid, isn't it?
It is stupid and annoying.
And it's stupid.
It's just stupid.
You're costing yourself money.
Unless there is a problem with the car
which it sounds like maybe the electrics
on that car were not tip top.
Yeah.
Perhaps if he shut it off,
then he wouldn't be able to get it started again.
Something like that.
It's got a weak battery or something.
So there may be some circumstances
we're not aware of,
but otherwise no, he's just a prick.
Just like, if I tell you a story
about my mate Big John
when he had to get his car going.
He has an old Austin Cambridge from the 60s.
Yeah, my brother had one of those.
He got it going,
but he couldn't then turn it off
because it would be an absolute bastard.
I can't remember why,
but there was some reason why
it would be very difficult to restart.
And he had to drive from, I think,
it was Birmingham to Ipswich.
A long way.
It's a long way.
He stopped for fuel,
he just left the car running
in the petrol station
and he had a spare key to unlock the filler flap
and lock the door while he went into the shop.
Oh, that's great.
Because I said to him,
but people not look slightly concerned
that there was a car being filled up
with the engine running,
because I know sometimes you go to other countries
and you see them doing that,
but certainly here it is very much a no-no
to fill up a running car.
I've done it through absolute necessity.
In fact, I did it with my Boxster
when I first bought it
because the ECU was,
I knew that it wouldn't start again
and I had to get to an MOT station,
but I did feel slight guilt.
Although, the Boxster's quite vocal on idle.
Amoris Oxford or Austin Cambridge
has a very, very low idle.
That's exactly what John said.
When I said,
were people not alarmed at a running car
in a petrol station, he said,
no, the B-series has a very quiet idle
and that's shut me up.
It's so true.
My brothers used to idle at like 500 RPM.
It was amazing.
They do.
I mean, the A-series is the same.
Those Austin engines,
they, particularly when they're warmed up,
they idle low and quiet.
People think that the A-series engines
are quite noisy,
but usually it's because of minis and metros.
It's the gear wind that makes them noisy.
The engine itself is whisper quiet.
It's an idle.
Anyway, but John,
when John,
when John was doing his Birmingham 2 Ipswich,
honestly, in a car, he could not switch off.
He was getting closer to Ipswich
when he got a message, I think,
from a very old friend of his
because he's from that area,
who said,
I've just split up with my boyfriend,
I'm in this pub that he knew.
And John was a bit like,
oh, oh, oh, I better go and see her
because that's really bad.
So he drove to this pub,
he parked up,
he left the car running,
locked it with the spare key,
went in to console his old friend.
But then he's sitting there going,
I know, oh, he was never right for you.
Oh, no, no,
you're better off without him.
Trying to be a good friend.
Whilst in the back of his head going,
oh, God,
it only had about an eighth of a tank left.
So he's trying to speed things along purely
because he'd got a running Austin Cambridge
in the car park.
Oh, my gosh.
That sounds horrible.
Oh, no, it's stressful, isn't it?
It's a stressful situation.
That's like a stress sandwich.
You've got stress upon stress
with a little bit of ham stress in the middle.
Stress sandwich.
In a world where January is supposed to be boring,
one staple of the holidays refuses to end.

I've been doing a little bit of motorway work
in the past week or so.
And there's something which I keep meaning to bring up
because I assume other people have noticed this as well.
Truck drivers driving with no trousers or pants on,
just t-shirts.
No.
Oh, okay.
How would you know about that?
Well, I don't know.
I just guessed.
Okay.
No.
It's about the Volkswagen ID buzz,
which, when that car was announced,
I thought, God, they're going to be everywhere.
Yeah.
Because it looks so cool.
People are going to love that.
Yeah.
But actually, you don't really see them around so much,
do you?
No.
I had this thought about a year ago.
And it is a surprise.
I don't know whether it's purely a financial thing
or whether it coincided with,
I think they're being a bit of a revolt against EVs,
which seems to have escalated.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It seems to have escalated.
I think in base model form,
they're excellent value.
I mean, there was...
They have to be base model.
Gosh, it was probably almost two years ago now.
Suddenly, some very, very cheap PCP or lease deals on them,
relative to what they normally are.
I mean, it was temperingly cheap,
but I almost just jumped on it.
But hadn't ever driven an ID buzz.
And then I did drive one and I went,
oh, thank God, I didn't buy one of these because...
You didn't like it?
I didn't...
It's fine, but I think it's still got
a lot of that Volkswagen irritation-based infotainment system
with the touch-sensitive controls, and it's all shit.
And I thought it was okay to drive,
but the range was not brilliant.
Did you think so?
I think the range is really good and truthful.
It was...
Well, it was sort of truthful,
because I did a lot of motorways.
It was when we went to do our live show in Glasgow,
so I drove from here to Scotland in it.
So it was a long, old track.
That is a long, yeah.
And I think it wasn't brilliant at motorway work,
because it's got a frontal area, isn't it?
It's just got a big frontal area, pushing air out of the way,
and it's going to damage your range.
But I just found it sort of generally
a little bit underwhelming.
I was expecting more.
I still love the way they look.
The reason I bring them up is because it's like,
I don't think they're selling.
You don't seem to see a lot around.
Not the way I thought you would.
No.
Which I think is a shame, actually.
I do think it's a real shame.
The only people who seem to have gone all in on the ID buzz,
a company called Meaty or Mighty.
Yeah, on my term.
M-I-T-I-E.
Yes, I've seen those.
Yeah.
They are all over the place,
but what throws me off about them is,
because I still can't really go,
oh, look, someone's bought an ID buzz.
But they've also decided to put one of those
red nose day things that used to be popular
a few years ago on the front.
Yes, it's like a red plastic bowl.
Exactly.
Cable tied to the grill.
Those Meaty,
I'm probably saying this wrong.
We seem to pronounce everything wrong, don't we?
But Meaty,
they're like a sort of building maintenance company.
Yes.
Meaty.
I've got a Meaty building.
Meaty.
They,
they, every time I go,
why has someone put a red nose day thing on the front?
Oh, it's that office maintenance company, right.
I get it.
It throws me every single time.
I don't know if I'm alone in this.
I like those Meaty vans
because they're base models,
they've got, I think they've got
gray bumpers and steel wheels.
And that's the way you want
an ID buzz, I think.
I like them.
Well, that's, I would say in general,
I see,
I feel like I see more ID buzz vans
than I do the regular carry inversion.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's cost, I think.
It's a lot of,
a lot of money when you get into the well-spec people carrier.
I mean, I know, I really like the buzz.
I've driven about four of them.
And I,
I really enjoy all of them
to the point where I could see myself owning one,
but I've just never,
I've just thought to myself,
yeah, they are quite expensive.
They're,
they're a really good size
and they've got a very practical boot
compared to an awful lot of other
expensive prestige cars that people do buy.
Like,
Gargle faced SQ7 guy.
I mean, how much is a new SQ7?
I'm not saying his is new,
but even if it was two years old,
it's still going to be massively expensive, isn't it?
Oh yeah.
No, they're not cheap.
No.
And I'd rather have an ID buzz
than one of those.
I like the buzz a lot.
That's the only reason why
I think it must be not as successful
unless people feel so strongly
about the shit buttons
and troublesome infotainment.
People do feel strongly about that,
don't they?
Yeah.
I was talking to a mate last week
who was thinking of getting
a second hand VW ID3.
I was able to say
go and try one at the very least
because I think you will find it
a profoundly annoying car to live with
and you should probably think of something else.
It's a fair point now Rich, fair do's, fair point.
Fair play mate, fair play.
Fair play, fair play.
No, I think it's,
and they know because they fixed it now, haven't they?
The steering wheel buttons are now actual buttons
and they've modified the controls
and they're going to,
if you look at the interior of what's going to be,
they've just announced it's going to be called
the ID Polo,
the new electric small car.
Is that, mate, I'm guessing
that's to celebrate the fact
that Polo's 50, isn't it, this year?
So...
Well, it's more that there's been a change in policy
that rather than try and make the ID range
a whole separate thing in parallel
to the sort of hierarchy we know
of kind of Polo and Elf's Passat,
they will just do mirror image,
so assume that the ID3 will become
or its replacement will be the ID Golf.
Yeah, no, I'm most looking forward to the ID2
which I think a version of the ID2
might have been shown at the recent Munich Mocho.
I was a bit reticent to talk about the Munich Mocho
because we might go down a really car-heavy,
newsy podcast and people might get crossed with us
because regular listeners sometimes get crossed with us
for being too car-y.
By the way, the ID2 is what's going to be
the ID Polo now, that's the thing
That's it, that's it.
Yeah, so they've got rid of two
and put Polo in its place,
which I'd get
because the other thing is it's like
if everything proceeds as it's currently supposed to
in the UK and the EU,
there will come a point where
there will be no Polo
because they can't sell internal combustion engines anymore.
Right, right.
Now, at that point,
why would you throw away names like Polo and Golf
because people know them?
Well, I never understood the ID thing
for that reason.
Like you say, I think Golf E or E Golf was fine
and E Polo, Polo E
or Polo Electric, whatever you want to call it.
It's just so obvious.
You don't need to overthink it, do you?
I know, because also
someone says so,
what are you driving at the moment?
You'd go, I've got a Polo.
But if you've got an electric one,
you go, so what are you driving?
You go, oh, I've got an ID Polo.
Yeah.
Sorry, what?
Almost it would like Polo ID
would have made more sense
or, like you say, just E Polo.
Yeah.
Why not?
Volkswagen has a really strong hierarchy
that a lot of other people don't.
Like, you know, even up,
the up was around for long enough,
you go up Polo Golf percent.
Everybody sorts of knows that.
Yeah, I know.
And they've abandoned it, seemingly.
Well, that's the thing.
So, I mean, even if they seem like
they are bringing it back
but they maybe just need to decide
where the ID goes
or if in fact it doesn't
because it's like just, yeah,
E Polo and then when
there are no internal combustion polos,
it just becomes the Polo.
Yeah, I think we should do that.
I think it's going to be,
it's going to be a good one.
I'm very excited about that,
like I said before.
So, we're at a seesaw.
Should we talk about some new cars
or there's some unfinished business
in the world of 60s person?
Well, I was just going to mention
because we forgot to last week
and apologies for being cary
but there are a couple of things.
One of them,
the Audi Concept F&C.
Oh, yes.
It was announced.
Sort of.
Sort of inspired a bit
by the original TT,
a bit by
auto union racing cars
from the 1930s.
Yes.
Overall,
I personally,
I rather like it.
I think it's interesting.
The only thing I don't get
is the narrow grille.
I think the grille is too narrow.
Now, Audi grilles
were getting extravagant
and horrible.
Yeah.
I think that's fair to say.
And I don't understand
why are they blacking
in the logo now?
I don't know.
Is it because lots of people
who like Audi
like murdered out stuff?
I think
the Audi brand
is a murdered out type of brand.
But they're not alone.
This is the weird thing.
It's obviously a trend
because Audi do it,
Vox all do it.
Yeah.
Quite a few companies
actually blacking out the logo
and it seems so weird
because, you know,
these old school European car companies,
like their image,
their logo, their name
is one of their weapons
against all these incoming Chinese companies
that you've never heard of before.
Yeah.
I think they'd want to shout it proudly.
You think they'd want to be like,
remember a few years ago,
Citroen was sort of having
one of its identity crises.
Yeah.
It felt like the double chevron logo
just kept getting bigger
and bigger on the cars.
Yeah.
Why are they not
actually making the logos
more prominent?
Because surely
if you're the kind of person
who thinks that
a modern Audi SUV
is a really nice looking car,
then you want people to know
you've got an Audi.
I don't,
I do not understand that.
It's almost like
Audi grill is starting to look
half of a kidney grill
and at a time when BMW
have gone
for the Neuer class
style
original
sized
two little beaver teeth grill.
Yes.
Well that was something else
I was going to bring up
is that new iX3
they just announced.
Yeah.
Which uses the Neuer class
style
designed language,
hasn't it?
Yeah.
This is
no, I don't care
but BMW
basically is going to be
a whole new generation
of BMWs.
So they're calling it a Neuer class.
I'd like they did
when they sort of reset
the whole range
in the 60s.
Same thing.
And
of course, yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
So they did
if there've been concepts
that sort of preview
what this is all going to look like
and it looked promising.
It was a bit like
oh look they're going to go back
to sort of basically
better looking cars.
Fewer
weird random
bits of sculpting
on the body
and sort of
mismatched angles
and needless detailing
all over the bumpers
and things like that.
Yeah.
So it was all quite
quite interesting
and hopeful
but the first example
of the Neuer class
is the new iX3
and
Wrong example
I give I think.
It's profoundly disappointing.
It's got piss
awful wheel arches
for a star.
You know the Peugeot 207
always looked like
they'd done the clay model
with some sort of very
rounded
big arches
and then go
no, it's too wide
and just sliced them off
with a rasp
and it looked shit.
That's what this car's got
and it doesn't
I don't think it works.
No, it doesn't.
It is a bit cleaner
than some recent BMs
but it's still got
that piss awful
thing in the front bumper
where they just go
angle there,
angle there,
angle there
well that doesn't line up
with that other one
doesn't matter
and I just don't get it.
Yeah, I think if you
kind of put your fingers
up to your eyes
and make a letter box
platform
not platform
viewing oval
you can see that
this could work
in a three series
really nicely
if it was all slimmed down
and less chunky
and it's a very upright car
because it's an IX
but yeah,
in general
the Neuer class of face
is a positive move
but I think they've just
used the wrong car
to showcase it
that's what I would say
whereas the F-ing
F-ing C concept
that you just mentioned
do you know my favorite
part of that car
is the steering wheel
Oh
have you seen the steering wheel
it's very sexy
three spoke
almost cylindrical
rotary
dial switches
on there
and it's just
and it's very
all very thin
and purposeful
I like it a lot
it's um
I think Audi's
might be going back
to being
subtle again
they've discovered
subtlety again
which they were
very good at
yeah
on that sort of things
on that subtlety
funny cause
I like the outside of that
Audi concept
in general
and it's interesting
that it's got
it is
kind of minimalist
there's not an awful lot
going on
I mean it's obviously very
sophisticated and there's been
an awful lot of work
gone into it
and the sort of modeling
and the sculpting of it
but fundamentally
it's quite clean
in the way that
Audi's used to be
and actually
what it
shows as well
is I think
this sort of look
very kind of simple
almost brutal
is going to be
that jagged concept
of course
in the vanguard of it
and at the time everyone
went
but I think in general
this is where
car design is supposed to be heading
and then the interior
I love the way the interior
is very simple
and very clean as well
it's really nice
did you see though
that
the
the head of
Mercedes design
was asked by Top Gear
what he thought
of that Audi concept
and he said
the interior looks like
was designed in 1995
it is a little bit too known
and there is too little tech
I have always claimed
that I am a big fan
of hyper analog things
but you cannot ignore a screen
when you have a small screen
you automatically send the message
congratulations
you are sitting in a small car
what?
now
Gordon
that house you're sitting in
is made of glass
and you've got
a fucking big bag of stones there my friend
because if you see
the interior on that new
GLC
I actually have
I've seen the exterior
and I thought
again Mercedes you had a chance to
change your design language
and it's just not enough
for me
it's just not quite right
the entire dashboard
on the GLC EV
is a screen
is a screen
it's just too much
and the outside is
it's going to age so appallingly
and it's going to go wrong
in a way whereby
the residuals on it will die
because the screen will have a
I don't know some kid will kick
the one corner of the screen
and you'll find out
the replacement dashboard
is 17,000 quid
oh yeah
it's just all kinds of unnecessary
toss that nobody in the car world
genuinely I just don't think
anybody in the car world
really wants that
but maybe I'm wrong
I'll have a promise
you know
if you're 21
you might in fact
just go what's the problem here
but
I'll tell you what the problem will be
you 21 year old
is when you take it
to have some work done at a dealership
it'll be 400 pounds an hour
and no one at the dealership
will actually know how to repair it
because it's un repairable
that's what'll happen
well first of all
I think designers need to
remind themselves
that driving a car
is not like just sitting in an armchair
fiddling with an iPad
and so you do not have to
merge the two
but also
the other crucial point
for Mercedes
and others
is that
it's all well and good
21 year olds liking this stuff
but most 21 year olds
can't afford
a 60 or 70 grand
no
SUV
so
you know
just it's
I could see this sort of
this is the way it's going
but
I also think
as long as the tech is there
in that Audi
and it can look like that
it's
it's fine isn't it
the screen is not
the screen is sort of symbolic of the tech
beneath
but if it has all the things you want
but let's be honest
is
probably car play or android auto
and
my sister in law
has got an immaculate Audi A1
and it's of the generation
where it has a little pop up screen
in the centre of the dash
I don't know if I mention this
and it reminded me
that those little pop up screens
that are about
I don't know
what are they
maybe five inches across
they just have the basic information on
and then you can put them away
if you want to
and I really marvelled at it
because I thought
shit that's
that's
that was almost as much as we wanted
and then you have
obviously in front of the driver
you have your own
different dash binical
but I was like
that's so cool
but
from
at the Munich mode show
did you see what Skoda did
yes
the vision O concept
oh my word
Skoda
they built a really cool
estate car
and I mean
a really cool estate car
with a very slab back
and a really swoopy roof
it did look excellent
I think it's to
it's a concept isn't it
well it's supposed to
preview what the next
Octavia will look like
which I think
I presume is why it's called vision now
I don't know I do
I'll be honest
I was not wowed by this
I thought the proportions are a bit weird
it's too overhangy
it is
yes it is quite overhangy
it's boxy for practicality
and according to auto car
a modern shape based upon
VW's new SSP platform
hang on a minute
SSP
sweet sweet platform
sweet sweet platform
someone at VW
or Skoda
listens to this damn cast
I swear
but yeah
do you know what that Skoda reminded me of
I know it's actually a
a five door
but the
rear doors are
quite well concealed
and they're rear hinged
so you don't
immediately notice it
and
when I first saw it
I thought that reminds me of
do you know the Chevy Nomad
yeah
I do
that sort of
yeah
the 50's
the 57 is the one that everyone loves
yeah but it's sort of a two door
estate
that's right
yeah
and I thought that Skoda was some kind of
crazy tribute to the Chevy Nomad
yeah
I wasn't blown away by it I'll be honest
but it's
interesting
and it's nice they've tried
they're sort of saying
we're still going to do estates
that and we're going to do estates
and we're going to do some electric estates
and I think
okay I've got time for that
and
Vauxhall did the course
GSE Vision Gran Turismo
like a
like a
a really wide arched
hot hatch
electric thing
guess is it the answer to Renault's
5.3
turbo e whatever it was called
it's from a game isn't it
but they're saying that it's the next
Corsa could be influenced by it
and it looks very cool
yeah and the Cleo came back
as an actual Cleo
not as anything weird
what is happening there
the front of that car
yeah
is again it's one of those ones
ok so you all stood back
in the studio
and you went
yes
that's the one
now we know Renault can design cars
because it's just done the 5 and the 4
yeah
doing retro
and doing it that well
actually is a fuck ton of design work
you don't just go make it look like that
it's really complicated I think to get
it feels as the flavour of the original
but it actually looks modern and new
so they've got good people there
who can do this stuff
now you don't want the Cleo
necessary to be retro
but Cleos have always been
I think very nice looking little cars
and the outgoing one is
you don't seem around so much
but if you look at it
it's really neat
it's a really nice subtle touches on it
it's a sweet sweet little car
and this is a pig faced horror
this has got quite a face
are they doing it intentionally
so that everyone will buy the Twingo
which is going to be unveiled in a month's time
I do wonder
there go Cleo
is a Cleo
anyway Twingo
is the Twingo out next month
I think Twingo is coming out
not out to buy
but I think they're launching it
as it's revealing it October
oh yeah that's interesting
yes and I think all eyes
will be on the Twingo
rather than the Cleo
I almost bought a Twingo last week
an old one
I know
and you should have bought it
you prick
I saw what I'm going to sell
I think I still could
but I've
so yes
listener
God touch
because he's selling a Twingo
and he's absolutely not very far from me
so he said you should come and
see it
so I did
have a look at me Twingo
it's really nice
it's very nice
the only thing that is
not sort of absolutely perfect
in Twingo terms
is that it's black
which I think it's not a very Twingo color
he wants it to be in that really nice green
that the early ones are in
or something like that
but hey
the condition of it is really good
it's got the slide back canvas roof
I drove it
and it was
really peppy
if I can use that word
I will let that
I like the word peppy
so it felt nice to drive
but what I thought was right now
so I've put my beat away for the winter
I don't know if I mentioned this on the podcast
that I've made a tactical mistake with my defender
which is that I forgot
that it is technically a commercial vehicle
yes you
because Landrave had them all
all defenders
even ones with seats in the back
were classified as commercial vehicles
in 2011
so they could keep making them
and not for foul of regs
about airbags and pedestrian safety
but commercial vehicles
have to pay the clean air charge
when they drive into the centre of Bath
slash Bath
where I live
and I forgot
about the reclassification of all defenders
post 2011
so I was barely driving
into the centre of town in it
and then the
fine started arriving
and it cost me quite a bit of money
for my own factlessness
you're a
you're a wand made of bacon Richard
I am an absolute sleeve valve
and now if I want to go into town
or even annoyingly
and it happened the other day
if I want to take
I had to take my son to the GP
and to get to our GP
you have to drive through
this sort of little
bit of the clean air zone
that sort of pokes out
so I had to pay nine quid
just to take my lad to a doctor's appointment
that's not brilliant
so suddenly
the idea that the defender will be
my winter run around
Tain
take the kids to staff
slightly compromised
I mean even just getting out of the city
to the motorway
I've got to take a slightly different route
than what I normally might
because I don't want to drive through the zone
and pay nine quid just to leave town
so this is suboptimal
and I was like
well I don't know if I could get this twingo
and then that'll be the
way to run around with the kittens
but will it though
it's a sort of
well it's a 2002 car
so it's a 23 year old Renault
it's great
that's left hand drive
and three door
and it's a sort of
yes but no situation
where you go you could
but also do I want to
and do I
because it feels like a car
you want to keep nice
I could see myself
rocking up to festival
the unexceptional next summer in it
it does look exceptional
it does
but I just
I know
I know
but I've sort of
I've said no
and
because what I've realised is probably
I do need something to
zip about in the winter
but I probably just need another ear
or
I've been looking at
i3s again
and getting
yep
they're really good value
they are good aren't they
yeah they are really good value
they're a great car
oh
I was talking to a mate yesterday
who's got one
and I said
he's still
he's still like it
he's still happy no problems
he just went I love it
I absolutely love it
it's brilliant and no
not a lick of trouble
and it is
it's I just
just great car
I can't think
what I replaced it with
yeah
and I seem to get this a lot
from I3 people
they're a good urban tender Richard
a good urban tender
yes well
as my mate pointed out
he said it's boring
but they've got an amazing
turning circle
so for town work
they are
absolutely superb
yeah and they're slightly narrow
like the Easter Island heads
that we've talked about before
like a gay car
quite narrow
also you sit a little bit higher
than a regular sort of hatchback
without being sort of
topply tall
you know
and I love the cabin
I love all the raw materials
love the cabin
I think it's great
love the cabin
love the way they look
they drive really nicely
I was looking at the post 2019
they've got the bigger battery
so you know
they've got a really solid range
plenty for
boy I'd need for it
I mean even the early ones
would probably be fine
you should get a
Mr. Porter edition
oh yes
you should
we met our chatpons in a car park
didn't we
we were filming some of you
came over and showed us
his Mr. Porter one
they're very nice looking
cause they're in that sort of
that shade of blue
that was only in those
it was blue
it was like a rich deep blue
but I think it was only on
that model
I've never seen one since
that man in the car park
no
no me neither
did they make like two
and he's got one of them
cause
I'm wondering whether it is that rare
anyway this is
sorry this is a minor distraction
but yes I was
seriously thinking of
buying an old
twingo
for fun
and you should do
and you should do
there's a whole separate conversation
but yeah
I think I just
I need a
you know like people have working dogs
like on a farm you have a working dog
it doesn't just get to lie
by the
the
the kitchen floor all day
no
and then go for a tour
around the park
and then it's keep
round the sheep whatever
I need a working car
as in a car that does work
that just does functional stuff
like
I need to go and get my haircut
and the place I usually go is in town
but I realize that
I don't want to pay an extra
nine pounds for my haircut
just cause I have to drive down there
in my defender
no that's a completely
absurd thing to do
it's stupid
how much am I ruining my life
with cars
you are being
strange
yeah
I think
cause I said
obviously the metro is still the way being fixed up
but
but at that point
I don't want to use that as a
as a hack about
because it's a classic
pretty much
so that's off the table
yeah
the beat only has two seats
and I don't want to use it in winter
that's off the table
yeah
the defender
it gets
it incurs charges for being used
in the town where I live
that's off the table
you just go
you've got three cars
that you can't use as cars
you absolute dickwit
I mean this is
sort of pretty much the way that my wife is thinking
oh gosh
no it makes me feel much better about me being
well it is isn't it
when you have to go to a go
now look
I think
I've got some problems yeah
cause I can't use that cause of this
and I can't use that cause of this
and I can't use that cause of this
so I think the solution is to buy another car
and I was like
this makes
no rational sense
but to my mind it does
I'm in with you
well I knew you'd be in
because you have the same disease
that I seem to be
suffering
particularly heavily from at the moment
I blue-toothed it to you
that's what it was
can I
can I change your subject ever so slightly
yeah please do
we've been
incredibly car heavy
so let's
let's carry on from where we were last week
what if I had with an excellent breakfast
of jelly deals
smoked had a confluffy kejere
we said about exploring the
delights of western supermer
we promenaded along the grand pier
and sampled the various rides
in the covered amusement park
my favourite was spending
several pounds and shillings
on a coin-operated tour of the Himalayas
once the coin was deposited in the slot
a wheeled blue elephant
came out of his snow cape
and started weaving his way around the various peaks
it was simply mesmerizing
at one point Oscar and Dory
left me to try their hands at Shovepen
while I stood transfixed
at the little tusk beauty
it made me think
of all the Rajad Kiplings books
I'd read aloud as a child
sitting on the ample laps of the soldiers
in the Rangoon Reform Club
ah, those happy days
feeling a little tipsy from
a flask or two of Oscar's home age snaps
we decided to take Malcolm
our Mini Cooper onto the beach
to stretch its legs a little
Oscar would insist on driving
even though his own silver E-Type was left un-drive
I vividly remember waving
at a group of policemen
or leaning on a big red board
licking ice-creams as we shot
down the steep cobble causeway
leading to the beach
Oscar did graze his knuckles a few times
on the door handle as he attempted to change gear
but all in all he did a credible job
of piloting Malcolm
we skidded, we speeded
and we dashed across the smooth sands
like budding some Malcolm Campbell's
we even wrote our
tire track initials in the sand
with a kind of temporary memento
of the day
we stopped briefly next to one of the barnacle
encrusted peer supports to catch our breaths
we laughed, we smoked charoots
and we drank the last of Oscar's
lovely home age snaps
just as we all think of heading back
to the castle I heard a sharp
rap on my steamed up passenger window
I wiped off the condensation
and saw was none other than
the charming young policeman
I'd noticed earlier
for me to wind my window down
which I did graciously
afternoon gentlemen
did you not see the 12 foot high sign
painted in red at the entrance to the causeway
no officer why
what did it say I inquired
feeling decidedly squiffy
no driving on the beach at any time
except during official land speed record attempts
are you conducting an official
land speed record attempt in your brown mini cooper
it's Laguna beige
but no officer
I did not manage a credible
62 miles an hour on that stretch over there
I thrust my arm out of the window
inches away from the officer's right cheek
and I pulled it in immediately
oops I'm sorry officer
he sniffed a few times
have you been drinking
Oscar pulled out his pewter flask
and offered it to the constable
grinning like a simpleton
please turn off your engine
get out of the vehicle and stand over there please
said the officer in a decidedly more serious tone
we never saw a dear Malcolm again
ever
and he had to take the train back to belgravia
rumor
rumor has it
he was snapped up by the chief constable's wife
and some cd policemen's charity
ball I've tried to track him down
but sadly to no avail
ah well another slightly melancholy
end to an otherwise
absolutely perfect exquisite
day
well thank you for that

Dice, ¡Hola, chicos! No necesitas preguntar a Playtoe.
Richard fue correcto.
Toca es prácticamente un contrato de un carro de torre.
Y puedo decir honestamente que de todas las personas en este planeta,
yo sé mejor que nadie más.
Realmente te gusta el podcast.
Lo mejor es Alan Gow.
Es increíble.
A las personas que no saben quién es Alan Gow.
Alan Gow es un carro de torre.
Es una serie de torre británica.
¿Pero, ¿dónde él es?
¿Dónde él es?
Es un carro de torre británica.
Es un carro de torre británica.
Él dice que él sabe lo que Toca significa.
Porque él realmente lo hace.
Gracias, Alan.
Gracias por estar en contacto.
Gracias por escuchar.
Yo no he parado cuando he escuchado ese mensaje.
No entiendo por qué un hombre tan importante
está perdiendo su tiempo de escuchar este podcast.
Pero, gracias, Alan.
Es genial.
Yo también...
Yo puse esto en mi...
En mi...
En las cosas para leer el folder y luego olvidar.
Es...
Es una lista llamada Roger.
Que...
Dice que congratuló a mí en mi logo británico.
Pero, luego, ha llevado un desafío...
A mí, Johnny.
Oh, joder.
Él dice...
Él piensa que deberías obtener un tatuaje
de una regla de steering.
Oh, un corte.
Sí.
O eso podría ser bueno.
Bueno, él dice que si lo haces,
él lo hará también.
Y, en realidad,
él sugerió que lo haces,
que lo haces para Charity.
Oh, Dios mío.
Roger está en Glasgow.
Él dice que va a venir
desde Glasgow
para tenerlo hecho a un largo nivel.
Esto es cultivo.
Es muy cultivo.
Es un poco, sí.
Un poco cultivo.
Sí.
Pero él dice...
Él dice...
...
...

para hacer un tatuaje.
Bueno, Scotland lo perdieron por un punto en ese juego,
pero a la mitad de ese juego,
pensé que íbamos a ganar,
así que me pido.
Oh, Dios.
Entonces, tenía que ir por el baño.
Y cuando el álbum de la Prodigía de la Genera,
había un booklet de muertes,
y uno de los álbems era un baño de álbum
que todos podían usar como un satchel
o un tipo de baño de manbag.
Oh, Dios mío, ¿no es eso?
Lo que yo pensé era un logo cool,
así que me pregunté al artista tatuario
para copiar eso.
Y, claro, ¿es este tipo de asesor
o tipo de asesor? ¿Sabes eso?
Creo que lo sé.
He tenido el CD de la Genera de la Genera,
y sé que tiene algo de arte brilhante dentro,
pero...
Sí.
He probablemente tenido eso.
Puedo probablemente extenderlo desde donde he estado.
Estoy mirando un gran par de CDs,
porque, obviamente,
estoy viviendo en Bristol,
incluso si no.
Sí.
Pero, sí.
No, voy a mirarlo.
Voy a mirarlo.
Sí, es así.
Y tiene un tipo de turquoise,
y luego de rojo y orange,
y también...
Es distinto y bastante dramático,
y también se ve.
No puedo decir
que bici de Roger esto es,
pero parece que es bastante grande,
pero...
Es todo el resultado de la bici.
De nada,
él está tirando un baño de álbum para ti,
que...
Te pido tu baño de álbum,
cómo te da a ti.
Es certamente distinto,
y...
Es...
es muy...
muy grande, supongo, pero...
Yo estaba hablando con mi amiga,
el otro mes,
sobre si o no,
si yo hubiera tenido un tatu.
Y he sortido...
He tomado tantas veces
sobre lo que podría o no podría hacer.
Estoy preocupado
de que voy a cambiar mi sabor
y mi mente,
así que creo
que casi me he tomado
una vez.
Sí.
Y en vez de eso,
voy a...
Voy a comprar algunas caras
que se desplazan un poco.
Bueno,
eso es,
lo mismo,
lo mismo logístico,
¿no?
Así que...
Hemos...
Hemos estado viajando
muy mucho
en nuestro podcast recién,
porque hemos sortido para una hora,
y siempre nos parecen overshoot.
Así que voy a decir
que,
en menos de una hora ahora,
es el punto en el que
debemos
lentamente
llevar esto a la banca
para que se desplazan.
Ah, ¿sí?
Bueno,
voy a darlo a la banca.
Ok.
Así que,
voy a empezar el proceso final.
Puedes empezar.
Oye,
es como,
¿sabes, en un teléfono
o algo,
y yo digo,
bueno,
bien hablado,
y eso,
hay un cambio
que tienes que pasar.
Sí, es...
es como una barra,
cuando dices
que la única manera de romper
es
poner el coche
a la revista.
Sí.
Entonces,
estás stillando,
pero...
¡No, no, no!
No, no, no!
Tienes una revista propellerosa,
pero no es realmente
llevarlo a una gran salida.
Así que...
No,
no hay nada.
Sí.
Bueno,
no hay nada más rápido
sobre canales,
sobre canales,
todo no es más rápido
sobre canales,
pero...
Estoy pensando sobre...
Me llamo Joe Krumper,
me llamo Krumper,
me llamo Midnight Toca.
Me pregunté ahora
si no Alan Gow
debería mastermindar
todos
los coches
de la tarjeta británica
para limpiar
esa canción,
una canción de música,
que podría...
¿puedes ponerla ahí
para la tarjeta británica?
Bueno,
pensé que dirías
que debería ser
otra serie,
que ocurre
en el medio de la noche,
la serie Midnight Toca.
¡ would be great, wouldn't it?!
Porque todos gustan
la tarjeta británica,
¿no?
Y es una de sus desafíos
y cosas,
es muy fascinante.
Vamos a dejarla
con Alan,
ahora que escuchas.
Suena como una gran banda,
Alan Gow
y los coches de la noche.
¡Gracias!
¡Gracias!
Bien.
Bueno,
vamos a intentarlo.
Vamos a ver
con...
Rápido por
compartir tres cosas
con ustedes.
La primera es que
Johnny es engañado
en un proyecto muy raro
para forzar
la cantante de former líder
de Marillan
a un gopro
a uno de sus cavidades ocultas.
Y luego
coge
todos los videos de Johnny.
Él está haciendo esto
en el título de trabajo.
¡Fish Eye Camera!
¡Oh, Dios!
Si eso no es para tu sabor,
es por supuesto
la tarjeta británica.
¿Qué es lo que está
tomando ahí?
Bueno...
Just want to say thanks
to everyone that watched
my Matra Rancho
Episode 1.
It's done much better
than I expected.
And there's an episode
where you can see the enormity
of the rot being hacked out
on Yorkshire Car Restoration's
own channel.
But on my channel
this...
Well, it will have gone out
the day before you listen to this.
It's a barm find.
Again.
Don't type cast me.
And it's of an exceptionally rare
example of the mark
factory right hand drive
Ford Fairlane.
It's in Britain.
So they did make American cars
in right hand drive,
but mostly very low volumes
all made in Canada
for the South African,
Australian and select UK markets.
So these things are...
they are unicorn-esque.
And we found one that's been...
We think it's not been on the road
since the 70s.
And by Jove there's some spiderwebs
and some seedy.
So that one...
Yeah, I did that all
on a beautiful backdrop of
Stotfold.
No, it wasn't Stotfold.
It was...
What's the place near Stotfold?
Stevenage.
Stevenage.
San Havana.
Or Sleevenage,
if you were living there, Richard.
Yeah.
Your next door neighbor
would be Sleevy Nicks.
Yeah.
Sleeven Fried.
We could go on.
Sleeve Jobs.
No, no, no, no.
Sleeve Jobs.
So I'm going to shout
the next time my iPhone goes wrong.
Sleeve Jobs.
Except it's Tom Koch now
as in charge, isn't it?
So that doesn't work.
Anyway, so the second thing
I was going to say is that
if you're listening to this podcast
on the day that it was released,
which is Monday the 15th of September,
tonight I'm at the British Motor Museum
being interviewed on stage by Paul Cowland
as part of his Evening With series.
You get some food,
you get access to the museum,
which is valid for a year,
so you can keep coming and going if you want.
And then later on,
you get to hear me talking to Paul on stage.
There'll be a lot of chats about Top Gear.
I'll be playing in some clips from the show
and then talking about how they came about.
Little bit of behind the scenes info.
But that is, tonight, the 15th,
if there are still tickets available
when you hear this,
then you could still grab one, I suppose.
And hopefully I'll see some of you there.
It's not being recorded for public transmission,
so it isn't in the room thing,
which I suppose liberates me to say something about...
James May's trousers.
I might share a secret
about James May's famous rugby shirt, actually,
since she mentioned it.
Oh, I remember you tell me that story.
That's a good one. You should definitely do that.
And the third thing I was going to share with you
is, do you know Harry Mundy,
the famous engine designer,
often credited with, amongst other things,
the Jaguar V12, the BRM V16,
the Lotus Twin Cam.
He was involved in all of those legendary engines.
But what's less well known about Harry Mundy
is that he was Johnny Vaughn's uncle.
Really? That's cool.
Yeah, it's cool, isn't it?
Yeah, that is cool.
Carl, you're good at this trivia nonsense, aren't you?
I try.
Very impressive.
Yeah.
So thank you ever so much for listening.
We're back with Autosot on Friday
and a regular show next Monday.
Until then, goodbye.
Thank you.
