Show notes 164
Added 2023-06-19 17:30:01 +0000 UTCHello again. Sorry, the show notes are late this week because, frankly, there wasn't a lot to put in them apart from this lovely illustration of the Simply Norfolk shop taken from their Facebook page and a pic of Simply Coastal. They're both in Wells-next-the-Sea, if you're interested. Oh, and we have an example of an entire county welcoming careful drivers. How are they doing that, eh?
To apologise for this shabby set of extra info we've updated the Smith and Sniff encyclopaedia with a load of new entries. Let us know if we've missed anything.

No worries, I really enjoy the podcasts every Sunday night or Monday on the way to work! Keep up the great content!

2023-06-23 10:53:27 +0000 UTCI'm afraid not. Logistically they're a challenge, and they never perform very well. For example, we spent time and money on the last one, Bond Car Bingo, and it barely crept past 30,000 views. The podcast can easily do that many listens in a week. So, sadly, they're not really worth it for two self-employed people.

2023-06-21 20:53:31 +0000 UTCIs there any plan to do some more 'old school' ridealong videos again?

2023-06-20 14:43:11 +0000 UTCI went to Uni in Ypsilanti so I was partial to Car and Driver as they were just down the road... but when big issues came out I loved comparing C&D to R&T...

2023-06-20 09:21:50 +0000 UTCI’ve mildly wondered about this and (I think) incorrectly assumed they were one of the same. Maybe it’s a northern tick (I’m from t’south).

2023-06-19 21:49:57 +0000 UTCIs that not B&M Home Bargains? I purposefully conflate both brands to my wife's annoyance, and was tickled the other week when Richard did the same. B&M without the "home bargains" is just such a barren brand. I think we are doing them a favour.

2023-06-19 21:27:13 +0000 UTCI write for Road & Track, and therefore cannot let Richard's comment go unchallenged: the current issue on sale is only a June/July double issue. However, many 2024 model year cars have been on sale here since about March.

2023-06-19 21:19:15 +0000 UTCLove those location+slogan road signs. Here in Bradford we have "welcome to lidget green. Striving to be a safe community" notice "safe" not "safer" the acceptable minimum has not been met. "Welcome to lidget green. Apologies for any injuries you may incur"

2023-06-19 18:13:11 +0000 UTCUnsurprisingly they're Simply owned by the same people (thanks, Companies House) as well as, you'll be pleased to hear, an art gallery....

2023-06-19 18:12:00 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed the show. Especially the stuff about Rover. Would love to know more about their demise and the Phoenix 4 (have I got that right?!?).. if anyone on here can recommend any books I’d be very grateful!

2023-06-19 18:10:59 +0000 UTCNot 'Basicaly Norfolk' then? There's an opening for competition.

2023-06-19 17:54:18 +0000 UTCFord Eco is cleverly sold to the old like a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7bGzlth_6s as it's so easy to get in and out of. The young like it as with the return of 80's fashion it's ugly and has a stupid name. If the grumpiness is obvs it's because I've owned 4 Foorwaads (Fiesta's & Focus'i?) 2 of which were an absolute hoot to drive. Rant over!

2023-06-19 17:44:28 +0000 UTCB&M will sell you some “Smoked Urban Flutes”. Obviously I immediately pictured some wide-boys in their souped (sp?) up motors coming last in a traffic light drag race.
