I'm Richard Porter and this is Smith and Smith a podcast in which two friends talk about cars and many other things.

Welcome to the shed at the bottom of my garden. I'm a long way from home.

Welcome to the pleasure dome. You didn't drive all night, but you did drive all afternoon to get to me, to come to my house.

Yeah, where I was been graced with a fish curry and some red wine and

Rosay. My wife plied you with wine. She did. I've got a nice supply of it here on top of we've got a very detailed

sound booth here. Detailed it's a piece of off cut glass?

This is yes, a surprisingly heavy but small desk that was left in this room by the previous

owners of this house along with the gammy sofa behind you.

I love the fact that the people who sold you the house they not only left a piano

but that's because it's on a very steep set of stairs out of your

shed so they're like fuck that I'm taking the piano at least they had the

courtesy to say would you like the piano I think they went, he's the few little ones to learn and we went, oh yes, that would be lovely. And oh yes. Now what's actually happened is of course, you know, we go, oh yes, it wouldn't be nice for the kids to learn piano but we're not

going to say this room is freezing in the winter yeah and often quite stuffy and hot in

the in the summer we're not sending the kids up here.

Also that piano is wildly out of tune.

I bet it's absolutely ruined for all the voice.

Maybe it's at the end.

Yes, or so it's very damp.

This is and I don't think we have it because this is where I record just because it's

it's relatively quiet as long as some dickwit isn't leaf blowing in one of the

adjacent gardens but we haven't talked about. Dick Whittington.

D. Whittington.
