This is like the opposite end of the scale to Smith and Sniff's Field of Dreams video. Both are great videos!

[@TroyHR123]

I could watch a longer video of Richard pointing out rare cars with corrado mirrors.

[@GoodwoodRR]

🤔

[@AlfaElaborazioni]

great stuff guys! "someone left a SD1 parked in the lawn" made me laugh out loud! Jonny was just holding on not to laugh out loud during all the video!lol

[@tbbants8118]

Amazingly knowledgeable presenters, I've always liked Jonny but hadn't heard of the other chap Richard, But wow! he knows his stuff! and the pair are a great duo, loved it

[@virtualal]

If you have ever watched Top Gear from the Clarkson / Hammond / May era or indeed The Grand Tour then you have watched Richard’s skill as a script editor. He worked on the original Top Gear as a researcher and then started Sniff Petrol a spoof motoring journalism website. Most motoring journalists were taken with it. Clarkson worked out who Sniff Petrol was and hired him for the TG re-boot. V funny chap.

[@martinlaver007]

I’d like to give a firm congratulatory handshake to whoever brought Smith & Smiff back this year but gave them more time. They are brilliant. On that side of things.

[@PluckinA_Connor]

"Rowan Atkinson no longer owns this car, and so it's..." I was really hoping he was going to say "safe".

[@twarken5078]

Brilliant! Love Smith and Sniff presenting once again!

Greatest lawn ornaments ever.

[@bicyclist2]

How lucky to be able to be there. I hope to have the opportunity to go some day. I love the old front wheel drive car shown at 6:38. The McLaren F1 is by far the best car ever made. Thanks.

[@leokearns1221]

Well done lads. My son and I were there on Saturday and what an event. Not everyday you see a F40 beside a F50 and F1's. Pity I missed you folks as would loved to chat. Cheers Lads. Great channel. Leo n Evan from Ireland.

[@hoperdepop]

I love that when one is talking the other is checking out the cars

[@LN_997]

4:30 Honestly it taking parts from normal production cars is part of what makes it so charming, you just don't see it anymore with modern hypercars where each millimeter of the car is custom designed by teams of engineers just for that car

[@benwu7980]

Quite a few of the modern ones do still use parts from other makes, or from within whichever group of companies owns them. Koenigsegg does a huge amount in-house though.

[@lukemiller_6]

great meeting you at Goodwood, you guys have so much time for your fans! :)

[@aqa321]

The key takeaway quote from this video: "I think back then you picked an animal, had it peeled and lined your car with it. And no one said a thing". Well done Mr Sniff

[@simes205]

There were 10 F1’s at the FOS in total, more in the other paddocks.

[@michaelgriffiths7937]

@Private R there was one deconstructed at mclaren’s stand

[@chesterarmstrong7893]

6 on the lawn, 3 of them in the main paddock (they were GTR models) and the last one is the deconstructed one at the Levante stand

[@simes205]

@Private R 3 in the main paddock, 1 deconstructed on the Lanzante stand and the others on the Cartier lawn. 10% of all F1’s were there! There were more at the members meeting!

[@cheharrison7107]

Great stuff chaps.....only a few more quid than the Field of Dreams.

[@rjnation5042]

When I see the prices of Dino's today I always have a chuckle, I bought mine back in 92, always great to see you guys at Goodwood, Rj in Oz

[@dayalanvelan3070]

The Greatest car of all time and its achievements probably never be surpassed. 🙏🏿

[@jeremyrichards951]

The first 10 seconds of this utterly brilliant video confirms Why RP and Sniff P work as a pair! Would never work on TV(suspect scripting may say otherwise), but my word, their collective knowledge is astounding and so lovely to see. Thanks chaps, you even got my partner interested!

[@martinlaver007]

Ahem. RP is Sniff Petrol. Think you means JS…

[@asterixdogmatix1073]

Brilliant show guys.

[@aowen1079]

The electric mirror adjuster was probably the most reliable part of the Vauxhall Cavalier. So McLaren chose well. Trust me I owned an Astra and it had the same switch and it never failed. Mirror adjuster and heating function.

[@jamesdalton7850]

I think the boys might’ve had an extra shandy each at lunch. Lol. Great fun video! Loved it!

[@Djpaul-lo1px]

As well as the borrowed door mirrors and gear knob F1’s also have electric window switches from an E36 BMW 3 series.

[@Johnacles]

Cheers for a tremendous vid as always Jonny and Rich. The dimpled shift knob in the F1 was very popular with BMW super touring and BTCC cars in the 90s. I believe they were maybe made of Delrin with weighted centres for optimal shift feel.

[@chubscub]

It's amazing that this thing still looks better than the T.50 ever will

[@mpk490p]

Lovely to see so many F1's! if anyone needs a standard 17" front wheel for 1, i have one in the man cave.....

[@ptr1019]

Excellent round up. Little faux pas at the end, Lord March is now The Duke of Richmond (etc)

[@kriendawson7500]

One of my proudest memories was being athe first FOS and got to sit in the right passenger seat of XP3 😍

[@andrewmcewan8081]

there was a green unipowere sitting in a back garden near my parents house when i was young so the late 70s - 80swith a for sale sign . it was right next to the main road and just slowly deterioted then they moved and so did it before i was old enough to buy it

[@paulfarghi]

Quality insight into the Carrier Styleee Looks, I was with non car Plebs who appreciated the spectacle but I was unable to dig deep into the minutia Bravo Boiz

[@StuartPlumbley]

I used to own Delta HF 4wd and can confirm it was an awesome car to drive. I can also confirm that I'm kicking myself that I sold it!!

[@nickframe50]

Sadly no alldays & onions to be seen. Let’s hope for better luck next year

[@elyuw]

Great stuff chaps, loving that blue Rover SD1 ;)

[@guybrushthreepwood3002]

Was there Sunday, F40 won the day for me. I remember first time I want, and there was an F1 parked in the public car park in a field next to a Fiesta

[@Herkulez1981]

Quite cool to take a look at the t.50, they look so similar even tough f1 is almost 30 years old . Says alot how far in the future they where with this car when the design Feels new still and it took 16 years until their speed record was broken

[@wilf81]

Steve Cropley at 16:36???

[@drawwithdan5821]

The Dino is still my favourite looking Ferrari. Gorgeous.

[@robertfourt7096]

Great stuff but you missed out the Fulvia! I was building up with excitement only to be dashed. Seriously though really informative and fun. Thks

[@TheDjcarlos67]

Pope's use purple ink and Roman senators robes were purple... Enzo clearly felt an affinity 😁

[@henryhol8538]

Loved your tour of the Cartier Lawn! You missed the Ferrari 275GTB though.

[@edwardfrench9925]

I was lucky enough to go to the revival last year and in the big public car park, up against a tatty old Citroen Picasso was a red F1. I hear the guy who owns it does that sort of thing all the time

[@SMlFFY85]

15 years ago you couldn't give away a Dino, now they're over half a million quid!

[@chrisd635csi]

Brilliant these two

[@steveluck9541]

Julian Thompson who styled the MK1 Elise owned a Dino at the time and was briefed to give it classic looks. Same wheelbase but Dino is longer so looks sleeker as a result.

[@racechassis]

I woke up my girl laughing at Gordon Murray the lightest man 🤣🥲

[@veemacks7255]

Everyone has always said that 106 McLaren F1's were made, but Richard said 107. If it were anyone else my instinct would be to think that they're wrong, but instead I'm wondering what the man of boring car trivia knows that the uninformed like myself don't know about the count.

[@r.blacky341]

One of the best performance car that ever made ,very low weight,V12 with out electric Akku bullshit!! Qualität from BMW machine in a Mc-Laren car,the driver is in the middle of that absolut dream car and two pasenger right and left side,very next to the driver! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany

[@jeeves_uk]

There was also a Mclaren F1 in the public carpark.

[@IMHAVINHOOPS]

Bloody love deltas

[@addj7093]

Why is the Mclaren F1’s gear-lever on the right? It should be on the left hand side

[@agelistrator]

Because most people are right handed and most cars around the world are left hand drive, right is a better position for it for most, the t.50 also has the gear lever at the right.

[@addj7093]

@@agelistrator but every car in countries that drive on the correct side of the road changes gear with the left hand.

[@Zanpaa]

@@agelistrator See also: ford GT40. Right hand drive, gear lever on the right.

[@Th3OmegaPoint]

9:10 Nick Mason also owns that garish red and yellow Mclaren F1 :)

[@TehMehKehIen]

Oh yeah! I wonder where it is hmmmmmm, we've been SOOOO unlucky that the car wasn't there, sooo unlucky and sooooo sad (smh).

[@stevemcrichards8768]

I think I'm right in saying it cost the Schnitzer BMW team that ran the F1 GTR's around $20mil. for an entire season; now the car alone costs that much.

[@mmmbilly]

I remember when the veyron came out. $1M for a car was absurdly expensive. Now there are so many companies whos first hypercar is $2m +

[@jasonwinters9807]

Love it... Great content... but one criticism - I really don't need to see you guys so much when you are talking about the cars... show the cars... show the inside; the outside; the engines; the angles... I know what you look like - I hear what you are saying... but cut to the cars and the event going on...

[@fayeyoung1922]

The cars aren't open though so no access to interior and engine bays! I'm sure they would have done if possible

[@lloydmorganmoore7810]

7:40 Who sees 2 people presenting, clearly being filmed, and decides to walk right into their shot because they can't wait a few minutes to take a glance inside the car? Just wait 5 bloody minutes!

[@ashleytombs]

I would love to be Nick Mason He has got some Beautiful and rare Vehicles including a very rare plane he has 2 of the rarest cars in the world the first one is this beautiful F1 GTR Which is chassis number 10R The R stands for race it’s very special because it was the first GTR that McLaren turned from race car at to Road car he also has a Ferrari 250 GTO Not a bad investment if you ask me considering Ferrari only made 36 GTO‘s how many are left I do not know but one not too long ago sold for 70 million

[@gregrolfe3505]

Beat me to it - smith & sniff, the red GTR with the rubbish decals is the (rebuilt) one of Nick Mason’s. He binned it at a Goodwood Members Meeting during a ‘demonstration’ lap

[@ashleytombs]

Ouch I bet that was expensive this GTR May not be the best looking well that’s what you get with 90s graphics but the history and the person is who owns it makes up for it he’s owned this car for absolute decades

[@rogeryoung3587]

Really poor 1080p video quality - is this log footage that hasn't been graded or was it recorded on a down-market 12-year-old camcorder?

It’s LOG that’s not been touched, or a poor LUT slapped on it. Such a shame

[@aarondavies8486]

It's befor it goes on itv4

[@jryalls]

It takes a while once uploaded for the quality to reach its highest level. Usually around 10-15 minutes. That’s why some channels upload videos as premiers because you can then upload it as full quality and set a time for it to go live.

The offset speaking into the camera is seriously odd and makes the slightly intense Mr Porter appear some what more so. All the videos these pair have made are the same and IMO needs a rethink.

If ya don't like it, don't watch. Make your own video that's better, if ya can. In other words, take your bitter attitude elsewhere and think before you communicate. Think about what just happened to you.

[@FirstDan2000]

I have to agree, the presenting is fantastic but switching to Camera B whilst they are talking into Camera A makes me feel left out of the conversation a little. It's only a small niggle though.
