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

0:13.0

I've just heard that Tiger Woods is coming back to play golf after crashing that car massively.

0:21.0

Oh yeah. Crashing his genesis, wasn't it? I was going to ask you, I think it was a genesis. Was it like a sponsored event car?

0:33.0

Yes, I think so. I don't know that it had this high quality motor car from genesis motors of Seth Career is driven by Tiger Woods of golf down the sides.

0:45.0

I love those things. I love those. Well, I was growing up. There was a footballer called Acer Hartford who football fans probably played for Man City.

0:55.0

And this was in the 80s. So it was before footballers, I guess, got massive salaries and lived in McMansions. He lived in a perfectly nice sort of three or four bedroom detached house in a leafy suburb.

1:11.0

And he had a, at one point, I wouldn't be had a Peugeot 309, but it had Acer Hartford drives this quality Peugeot from Tom Garner of Manchester down the doors.

1:23.0

That was the price. Yeah. That was the price of getting a free car. I think he had to have the stickers down the sides.

1:31.0

I wonder if anyone owns any of those cars that were played driven by, I don't know, rugby stars of a local region or cricketers of a local region.

1:41.0

There was a lot of Jags given up to cricketers from memory. We're there. Yeah, I think so. A lot of X types. I think.

1:49.0

Oh, okay. Someone listening to this will know someone that might have bought an X cricketer spec X type Jag.

1:58.0

Could you tell because it's got white leather seats, but then there's just a bit where there's loads of red been rubbed on it.

2:04.0

What have you been doing here? Sorry, cricketer, mate. It's funny.

2:08.0

My Honda insight was an X demonstrator car and only you only see it when it's pitched dark on the drive and the security light comes on.

2:19.0

Because they're quite bright white LEDs, I think, quite critical light.

2:24.0

You can see slight discoloration across the bonnet where there was a decal when it was in a showroom that says something like the world's first hybrid

2:32.0

or over 100 MPG with a little asterisk next to it. And it's really slightly discolored the paintwork from you there, but you can't tell in normal daylight.

2:44.0

That's funny because my Nissan Leaf was an X demonstrator and I was washing it one day. I went, what's this on the bonnet?

2:51.0

And it was sticker residue and you could see if you sort of crouched down where it sort of just said so the other new 100% electric Nissan Leaf.

3:00.0

That's electric today.

3:03.0

But you can just see it in the right light.

3:07.0

But your security light would have probably brought it out of the treat.
