I'm Richard Porter. I'm Johnny Smith. And this is on the other side of things, the Smith and Sniff spin-off in which we answer your questions.

Once again, we are going to answer some questions, because that's what we do. No way.

On a Friday, a little half an hour. Shall I just dive in there? I dare you. You're good at doing the early dive on this. I've got to get better at my clutch control. I'm usually riding it and you've already gone. Yeah, let's crack on. This one is from early this year, so pretty recent by our standards, from a listener called Matt Edwards who says hello you sweet sweet ham shafts

guys look listen here's the situation it's the late 1990s say 1997 and mr touring cars

Alan Gow yes to this podcast hello Alan Gow has asked you each to start up a BTCC team and secure a deal with a manufacturer to race in the series.

Therefore, Audi, Renault, Nissan, Honda, Perjo, Vauxhall, Volvo and forwards cannot be selected.

Richard, as the owner of flute sport racing, which manufacturer are you picking as a new OEM into the BCCC,

and which late 90s model are you choosing?

Johnny, as the owner of sleeve speed, which manufacturer are you picking?

And which late 90s model?

Bonus points if they're saloon cars to fit the late 90s super touring barges vibe of the time.

So hang on, we're not allowed to choose cars that were actual touring cars, is that right?

That's right.

So, yeah, so Matt has helpfully done us a list.

Audi, Renault, Nissan, Honda, Perjow, Vauxhall, Volvo and Ford are all in there already.

So we have to pick somebody else.

Oh, gosh.

As soon as you started that question, I thought,

but I can't.

So I've had to retract my offer.
