Show notes 112
Added 2022-06-12 17:01:05 +0000 UTCWe lead this week with Dame Judi Dench and a totally authentic photo of her engaged in a tricky belt job on a Bentley W12. After that, there’s one of those orange juice machines you definitely shouldn’t sabotage with random vegetables, Jonny’s very low mk1 Granada (with bonus Jonny's mum's Montego and his brother's badly running Morris Oxford), and the mountain sign for the superbly named Hammerfall (soon to be re-named. Probably).

Comments
So much to unpack in this episode. The celebrity tie-wearing cambelt change... You've alluded to the perfect candidate before. I suggest the 90s NBA combo of Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson. In the documentary Last Dance Pippen regularly wears a giant suit jacket, incredibly dangerous for a cambelt job, but Phil always sports the shirt/ braces/ tie combo. However, safety is not an issue for the Coach, and he's clearly been busy with Haynes manuals for years, as his tie is almost permanently thrown over his shoulder throughout filming, which is almost exclusively a very 90s-spec choice, tie-wise.

2022-06-27 15:55:31 +0000 UTCNot sure if it is the same electric handbrake module on the Range Rover as the Discovery 3 but they are known to fail if not used regularly and it is then an MOT fail
Neil Dunbar
2022-06-20 11:44:36 +0000 UTCAbout relying on Automatic Park and no handbrake... "Ford recalls 2.9 million vehicles, saying they might roll while in park The company is recalling Escape, Fusion, C-Max, Edge and Transit Connect vehicles from various years" https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2022/06/15/ford-vehicle-recalls/?

2022-06-16 11:17:27 +0000 UTCMy daily is a late E53 X5, for the past 12k miles the handbrake hasn't worked. Always holds in P

2022-06-15 19:20:39 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to publicising Jonnys YouTube channel 'The Bake Hake Show'. A daily, 1 hour show where Jonny gets experimental in different ways to prepare a Hake and then bake it in the overn. Once at the top of the YouTube charts for food channels until the disaster when he fried the fish and instantly lost 97% of his subscribers.

2022-06-14 21:16:10 +0000 UTCRichard, your assumption that the Hammerfall sign is a road sign is correct. All towns and place names in Norway have this style of road sign.

2022-06-14 17:17:16 +0000 UTCGive a horse nitrous oxide and it’ll get frisky if a bit uncoordinated before collapsing in a heap of equine giggles.

2022-06-14 12:11:08 +0000 UTCThe entire bodykit horse discussion - the Fast and the Farriers - I could not shake the image of a worried Paul Walker looking across at a laptop after giving his mount a double shot of nitrous oxide and seeing the warning, "DANGER TO MANE-IFOLD."

2022-06-13 20:59:11 +0000 UTCRichard, I don't think you need to worry about oil starvation from starting the engine on an incline in your Range Rover. LR always engineer their engines to ensure the oil feeds at angles up to 45 degrees. And I guess your driveway isn't that steep. However, I share your parking pawl angst, for no specific reason, but I'd be ever so slightly concerned as well.

2022-06-13 18:36:04 +0000 UTCYou jest about doing a cam belt change in James Martins kitchen but it’s totally feasible. The kitchen he uses on the programme is in one of his garages! Check out Jodie Kidd YouTube video with him for proof

2022-06-13 18:34:18 +0000 UTCThe Late (Salt and) Shake Show. Jonny is now working for Walkers, but discovers a shipment of Salt and Shake crisps have left the factory without the little sachets of salt in them. So in a race against time he has to use his VW Beetle to catch up to the truck carrying the crisps, leap onto the truck (fast and furious style), get into the load area, open every bag of crisps, put in a sachet of salt and reseal them to avert a PR disaster for Walkers.

2022-06-13 18:29:28 +0000 UTCFunny you mention celebrities fixing up cars, Ant Anstead did Celebriry IOU Joyride and has ended up dating Bridget Jones. Not sure she changed the cambelt in her aunties 89 cavalier SRI to be fair.

2022-06-13 16:25:26 +0000 UTCStop on the hill/drive with your footbrake, handbrake on, footbrake off, let the car settle, in to neutral, finally in to Park. No need to worry about poor old Pawl. (Must be read with a heavily adenoid influenced voice.)

2022-06-13 11:56:34 +0000 UTCThe funicular driveway lift sounds like a fantastic idea; reminds me of this Pistonheads legendary thread: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=207&t=1438177&mid=27541&i=0&nmt=Funicular+goods+railway+-+help%21%21&mid=27541

Euan Lindsay
2022-06-13 07:42:18 +0000 UTCJonny's appawling parking [stet] Can't believe Jonny is advocating putting all the hill parking stress on the poor auto box pawl pin. Can't be a good idea, esp in a fwd car.

2022-06-13 05:52:33 +0000 UTCI cant stop thinking about a Dimma horse with testarossa side strakes

2022-06-12 19:14:43 +0000 UTCThe Brick arrives late, but just in time for the topping out ceremony. But they can't break the champagne bottle on it as the mortar is still wet

2022-06-12 18:37:47 +0000 UTCThe talk about house bricks got me thinking: Can we have a Smith and Sniff engraved house brick in the merch shop on Johnny's Late Brick Show. That's a 2 for 1 right there.

2022-06-12 18:35:37 +0000 UTCI lived in Amsterdam for a few years and they have those orange machines everywhere, fresh orange juice is the best cure for inexperienced Brits throwing whiteys in coffeeshops, apparently. I spent hours watching them trying to understand how they work and after all this time I still have no idea and can only conclude they are indeed witchcraft.
Peter Honnor
2022-06-12 17:59:22 +0000 UTCWhy does it look like Jonny's lowered Granada isn't much lower than his mother's Montego?
