Summary

F1 drivers terrorising track days in totally unsuitable cars. Also in this episode, the stress of waiting for an MOT result, the relentless underachievement of the Smith and Sniff YouTube channel, commissioning bespoke supercars with ordinary shells, the dark world of Ulysses 31, having to explain the modern world to someone from the 11th century, and Jonny's strong views about valet parking. Plus, some actual car content for a change including discussions about the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Land Rover Defender V8, the McLaren Artura, and Gordon Murray's T.50s Niki Lauda.

0:00.0	I'm Richard Porter, I'm Johnny Smith, and this is Smith & Sniff, a podcast in which two friends talk about cars and this week high and high and land Rover and McLaren.
0:13.0	Forgive me if I'm not very relaxed during this. As we speak, my car is in for an MOT, and I always find that a nerve-wracking thing.
0:24.0	Is it which one? The Porsche.
0:27.0	Oh, which hasn't been used for about a year.
0:30.0	It's, yeah, well, it's, yes. Did you take it for a year?

1:18.0	That's what I do. No, I do that. No, I do that.
1:21.0	I drive the car onto the ramps. Really?
1:24.0	Oh, yeah, shit, yeah. Well, I just do it.
1:29.0	So is this why you don't leave your car?
1:32.0	It's why I don't do valet parking. Valet parking is for absolute mugs.
1:37.0	You are asking for trouble if you do valet parking.
