Summary

Jonny and Richard invent a D1 series for veteran cars. Unitards optional. Also in this episode, a strange 1990s car insurance advert, not knowing how to watch football, sporting recollections from the Sixties, sweaty back rucksack, not knowing the price of ad blue, Le Mans hecklers identified, the grassy tickle, listeners sharing memories of teachers’ cars, the Porsche Boxster GTS 4.0, and a brief look at the Bugatti Tourbillon.

0:00.0	I'm I'm rich reporter and this is Smith and Sniff a podcast in which two friends talk about cars and many other things.
0:09.0	Car insurance, stupid, just stupid.
0:15.0	What, the concept of car insurance or the price of car insurance?
0:21.0	Well, that quote came from a TV advert in I think the
0:27.1	really early 90s and I've never seen it since I've tried to find it. I think it was
0:31.8	direct line but it was like a quite
0:34.1	quite a shouty footy hooligany looking guy stood next to a fiesta XR2 I and he was I
0:42.0	think he was staring down the barrel of the camera really
0:45.2	aggressively just going car insurance stupid just stupid and and we used to
0:50.6	say we used to say it we used to say it to one another on the way to school because he just said it in such an unnecessarily aggressive way we would go
0:58.6	what do you mean it's stupid what as it's too expensive but that's what it was ultimately it was because then it
1:03.7	went to a couple of other testimonials and then it came right it came back to him at

1:56.3	like done in a good shooing I'll go listen I reckon you're overpaying for your in your car

2:04.6	of hundred quid, yeah? And they might go, oh, well, as it turns out, I am paying too much. I'm pretty
