I'm Johnny Smith.

I'm Richard Porter.

And this is Smith and Sniff, a podcast in which two friends talk about cars and many other things.

Okay.

He really wants an e-scooter and I've said no because rightly or wrongly listeners I think you just

and you know that if you hit a piece of gravel, you're going to end up high siding.

And you can just ride it as a bicycle to go to the shops to get a pack of watts.

If that's what you wanted.
