Script Writing For Top Gear w.Richard Porter (Sniff Petrol)

[@TC10193]

Cool that Subaru had stuck with the old style licence plates in the late 1990s before they were phased out in 2000 and even cooler of Top Gear to get Richard Porter to test it.

I find Richard Porter very enjoyable. Could listen to him waffle on for hours.

Just listened to this in the car on Apple podcast. A really good and funny listen. Ordered his book as a result. Logged on here to be able to see what Sniff Petrol looked like. Thanks for making and uploading the podcast.

That was epic!! Love Richard's column and have done for many years informative and hilarious

[@Oli_Hudson]

I can recommend Richard's book - I bought 3 and gave 2 away

[@CarChatPodcast]

Would have been awkward if you’d given 3 away 😂

[@joebrudenell9490]

Great podcast. Richard is a man after my own heart, very knowledgeable about all sorts of cars, from the pre 50s to modern days motoring.

[@ChrisLimey]

Always a pleasure listening to Richard Porter. Would b fantastic if you had him back again.

[@CarChatPodcast]

I'm sure we will try and do it again soon.

32:40 haha. I always think that. I wish someone would drive my car in front of me so I can hear the full sound out the back 😄

[@GrahamDallas]

Thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you.

[@natbarron]

Great chemistry, loved this video :)

[@CarChatPodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@veemacks7255]

Yaaay, The Sniffmeister !!!!!!!!!! (Extra exclamations for Richard). I kinda skipped the last eight of these as I had no idea who they were.

[@CarChatPodcast]

you should have a listen, lots of really interesting people.

[@JDMism]

1:16:50 I would definitely be shocked to come across an IUD while on the job in the Middle East LOL

[@brumsgrub8633]

As the biggest Smith and Sniff fan this horrible, its like watching a affair

[@toreberger646]

EXELLENT.LOVED IT

[@williammagrath7675]

While listening to this podcast, I finally got round to buying the book :)

[@juancornetto8243]

I wish I had a friend like Richard.

[@veemacks7255]

Brings up some bad memories hearing Richard talking about ideas being stolen from job applicants. I went for a job in one of the big German car companies, and with less automotive experience than they were looking for, I told them about an idea I'd had. I was told I didn't have enough automotive experience and thanks for applying. Nine months later I was at the Frankfurt Motor show and saw my exact idea there on a prototype car from that vehicle manufacturer. I couldn't prove it and would have gone broke trying to sue them. Luckily, the idea never made it to the production car version of that prototype, so I didn't lose potentially millions.

[@CarChatPodcast]

It massively sucks, the amount it happens is ridiculous.

[@allanwinter4991]

Richard. Ask Hubnut on you tube about any car questions.

[@teoh2005]

Sam tested a 911R with rear seats in New Zealand. I asked him for the owners contact info last great but he hasn’t replied. Also Elfer Motors in Germany does these conversions. elfermotors.de/porsche-991-gt3-touring-nachrüsten-der-rücksitzbank.html rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-gt3rs-gt2rs-and-911r/1132916-rear-seats-in-my-touring-yes-it-is-doable-4.html Khanh

[@CarChatPodcast]

Great info there, thanks 👍🏻

[@teoh2005]

Car Chat Podcast No problem. Watched your review of the bac mono several times before ordering mine. If you’re ever in Chicago and want to test a manual challenge stradale lmk. Ecus redone by AV Engineering and car drives great. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZXOlZiij7ibgNk

[@harryokona]

911R owner is Rod Drury. Obviously a pretty difficult guy to contact... It's my understanding that his particular R came with the rear seats from factory

[@LawrenceTimme]

I love the comments section. Everyone is an expert, a moron and has a PhD in the subject in the video and knows nothing.
