Always good to see more of Mr. Sniff.

[@nathanchildress5596]

I love coming back to this show, especially now that I’ve gone through the Smith and Sniff podcast catalog. They mostly talk bollocks, very little about cars, but they’re such great shows

[@MyPaulo1988]

The mannerisms of Richard are brilliant

[@Tom-lf8hx]

Should have him on the show again and see what hes been up to

[@toreberger646]

Brilliant Podcast

Super late to the party but the XJC chat about 1:07:30 - I think I may know the car in question and it's actually nothing to do with Ian Callum, as far as I know. It's a grey XJC resto-modded by a UK outfit called Retropower, with an LS3 swap, and it does look absolutely beautiful. I get where the Ian Callum confusion comes in though, as it's very much cut from the same kind of cloth as his modified Mk2.

[@pekkokuopanportti6859]

Ian Callum does have an XJC though, so I think Richard was talking about Ian's XJC. Ian Callum drives it in the second part of his "Idol Chat" on the Late Brake Show. I'd say it's more "resto" than "mod".

For anyone who wants to know they stop talking about watches at 29:15

[@thehumanoid6543]

lol

[@rah62]

On the contrary - that was the most entertaining and interesting part of the entire two hours!

[@danrolph1666]

Great podcast 👌

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

So miss Jonny and Richard sitting in car parks at random services just chatting crap about cars, the podcast is good but they were so much better when in the car together.

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Rolex are a marketing company not a watch company. Experts at selling products and whipping fanboys into a frenzy. Perfectly good watches, but there are plenty of better watches out there.

[@lordfarquad316]

Yea rI rw

[@desoconnor8397]

CHRIST the host interrupts so much

[@jimwright4163]

Yeah he needs to hold back a bit.

[@nathanchildress5596]

“The host” is car journalist Matt Farah, who is as significant a figure in the industry as Richard is. It’s a conversation between friends, not a lame interview

...and he's got an incredibly foul mouth. This video should be labeled NSFW.
