Smith and Sniff

A listener has sent us an incredible tale of a kids' entertainer getting into a comical tiny van accident. Also in this episode, a creepy flyer for a magician, why the Chicago Bulls of the nineties would have been great at magic, a hot hatch grandma, which cars Simon Cowell resembles, an update on David Coverdale's cars, the nightmare of light-coloured trousers, nostalgia for Robinson's Barley Water, speed limits for pick-ups, the pain of owning a late SAAB 9-5, accidental use of display lavatories, the scarcity of plastic bodied cars, vans for an Australian terrarium seller, how to pronounce Hiace and Proace, the dodgems of Coney Island, a correction on Vocoders, models that all have the same visible fault, a car that smells like a warehouse of safety shoes and another new song lyrics game.

Jonny wants Richard to spend a weekend at a drag strip sleeping in a van. Richard does not want to do this. Also in this episode, Quentin Willson's palm parking masterclass, power steering reservoir like an Alka-Seltzer, listeners' cockcroach cars and deceased spec purchases, trying to pressure wash your car during a Zoom call, and the insane prices of XJ-shape Jeep Cherokees. Plus, driving a second-hand hearse, accidentally buying a fully-stocked mobile library, remembering Britain's sleaziest alloy wheel, and feeling self-conscious about your trousers.
