Summary
Jonny knows someone with a very low range motorcycle and Richard has been wondering what happens to old minicabs. Also in this episode, celebrities in the 1970s showing off their cars, the importance of Noel Edmonds and his beard, people with poor gearchange strategy, what car to drive to a British citizenship ceremony, memories of scary drum and bass, and a campervan catastrophe that forces Jonny to leave his wife behind. Plus, the new Nissan Z, the Toyota GR 86, the BMW iX3, some love for the Jaguar F-Type, the unexpected phrase 'classic Zafira', and a man getting an Astra jammed down a footpath.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Richard Porter, I'm Johnny Smith, and this is Smith and Sniff, a podcast in which two |
| 0:05.5 | friends talk about cars and this week the size of fuel tanks. |
| 0:13.0 | Yeah, Rich! What we doing then, what were we going with this? Let's get the |
| 0:17.0 | miraculous out, yeah. Oh, Keith, stop messing around with the carburetors on my XJS. |
| 0:22.0 | All right, here we go. He's running rich. |
| 0:27.4 | RIP Charlie Watts, the drummer in the most successful band in the world that possibly |
| 0:32.5 | didn't want to be in it. Amazing. |
| 0:34.5 | I like a man who just pursues a good suit at all costs because drumming is a |
| 0:44.1 | sweaty business, isn't it? Drumming is a sweaty business, but he was always |
| 0:47.8 | well turned out Charlie Watts. I was always well turned out. But there's a lot of |
| 0:54.8 | people that almost can't believe that he had died, and it's like he's a rolling |
| 0:58.5 | stone. None of them should still be alive. And he reached 80. I mean, seriously, 80 as a |

| 1:19.7 | Stone years. Oh my. Yeah. Yeah, Charlie, Charlie, how old are you? |
| 1:26.1 | Everyone feeling immortal. Yeah, we shouldn't do it. It was sad, but I'm still, I put |
| 1:33.0 | money on Keith being the last stone to drop. Oh my gosh, I wonder if the, I wonder if |
| 1:38.7 | bet Fred have already started taking cash for that. I bet they have, haven't they? |
| 1:44.6 | The thing that Keith Richards said once about how all the years that he was on |
| 1:50.2 | heroin, he never got a cold. Oh, great. Sort of, yeah, he's, I think he said that. |
