Added 2021-08-29 18:01:59 +0000 UTCLeading this week with a picture of Charlie Watts because, dammit, he was a very cool cat. Drumming in a suit. Lovely. May he rest in peace.
Next up we have Keith Moon with his fleet. It seems to include a hovercraft. No reason for that to have been a concern, oh no. Then there's Noel Edmonds with his GT40, Interceptor and Honda Z600 followed by a troubling picture of him without a beard. Weird.
Next, we've got some cars. The new Nissan Z, the Toyota GReightysix, and a fun game of spot the difference with pre- and post-facelift BMW iX3s.
Finally, a Volkswagen Grand California 680, as borrowed by Jonny. Take some time to wonder how this enormous machine can only have room to sleep two.
Richard was wrong about Five Star getting called wankers on Saturday Superstore, by the way. They were actually asked why they were so f-ing crap on Going Live. Evidence here (contains swears) - https://youtu.be/6bfKredivMU
That naughty movie sample from Pet Shop Boys' So Hard (extra fact; the video stars Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne's sister, Anna) - https://youtu.be/jFAA6Z_YIEM?t=181
And if you missed the snappy address for the all-new Smith and Sniff merch shop, link here - https://shop.thelatebrakeshow.com/collections/smith-and-sniff
Oh, and why not come to see us doing some things in person - https://thelatebrakeshow.com/leicestershire
Thankingyous.

8 speed ZF autobox is never going to do you wrong. When you put it in MadMode™, you'll be glad you're not rowing and you can F1 shift into the gear you need. Jeremy was underselling the car when he reviewed them. And the S is the model you want.

2021-09-02 16:56:37 +0000 UTCI knew the chap, Sam Cutler, who was the Rolling Stones’ tour manager at Altamont. After the murder he was left holding the baby, as it were, when they all buggered off to avoid the consequences. He was big mates with Charlie, but I think he hadn’t so much time for the rest of them. His book is quite interesting: “you cant always GET WHAT YOU WANT” Sam Cutler. On kindle.

2021-08-31 18:16:30 +0000 UTCOn the whole riding a motorbike with a bag of fuel: In the great state of Queensland learner riders have to be supervised by an experienced rider before they get their next licence. Someone who is now my mate put a call out online to get assistance to clock up his hours and I agreed to help. We ended up going out of Brisbane on some very scenic roads but on the way back his bike started cutting out. Given he’d only been riding two weeks he wasn’t sure what the problem was so I decided to try and take over. I noticed just a thimble of fuel left in the tank which meant the bike was cutting out at certain angles. After about half an hour of riding, stopping, riding, stopping I checked the tank to find it was absolutely bone dry, even from the reserve. We were there with another mate but I was the only one with a back pack (always carry water and food) so I was sent 20 mins up the road to go get some fuel. Upon arriving at the servo I realised the smaller jerry can they had was 5 litres and he may need that to get home. Filled it up with super unleaded and plonked it into my back pack. It was at this point I remembered how much fuel weights. I didn’t realise how much having 5kg on my back would affect my riding but to say I was distracted was an understatement; partially because of the extra load and also because I could only envisage a fiery death if a roo ran out in front of me. Just as I approached the uphill section where he was I gave the bike a twist of the wrist on a slightly damp bit of road and nearly high sided myself at 10km/h. Safe to say that was a big code brown, we got fuel in his bike and made it back to his place safe Remember kids, always check you’ve got enough fuel to get there and also back

2021-08-31 11:53:46 +0000 UTCA good mate of mine has purchased two ex-taxi Zafiras. Both sub £400 deathtraps, Somehow with a questionable 6 months MOT. The most recent one had 220,000 miles on the clock and one outer sill made entirely of filler. One can only assume that the insurance companies were blissfully unaware of this little whoopsie during it's service. Needless to say that the gearbox eventually exploded on the most recent example.

2021-08-30 22:43:01 +0000 UTCWow, that looks genuinely revolting.

2021-08-30 22:42:30 +0000 UTCThis has 2223nm of torque and a 22 litre tank 😂 Not exactly mass production tho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxRp1zFxKBY

2021-08-30 17:34:15 +0000 UTCI've started commenting on each of the youtube videos linked to, 'bombing' them with a little mention of the Late Brake show or Sniff Petrol. Can i call it 'Petrol Bombing' ?

2021-08-30 13:59:44 +0000 UTCI’m reading reading Keith Richards autobiography atm for some reason (surprisingly good). He explains he would only do Merck pharmaceutical cocaine which was 100% and like 3 Michelin stars. In the early 70s whilst on tour, he seeked out a pharmacist in Melbourne and stayed with her in the suburbs rather than in the hotel to ensure his supply of Merck Coke. He said it was so good it did not give any come down. Also, on a flight where the plane dropped several thousand feet and the passengers were fearing for their lives. Keef Richards went to the back of the plane and snorted all his gear as he didn’t want it to go to waste. He is a medical marvel.

2021-08-30 13:27:35 +0000 UTCThe Toyota Alphard 3ltr v6 has a tiny tank considering the size of the thing and it’s hopelessly poor on fuel and of course zero fun as it’s a wardrobe on wheels. Oddest combo ever. Had one to go from KL to Singapore years ago and was stopping for fuel many many times. No idea on actual numbers.

2021-08-30 10:56:55 +0000 UTCClicked on the Pet Shop Boys video and it was already 1/3 way through! Then I remembered I had started watching it a while back and had paused it trying to work out what car they were sitting in :o

2021-08-30 07:51:05 +0000 UTCThere's a rock drummer doc on Netflix called Count Me In and it features that very pic of Moon! LOL Just watched it yesterday.
Kevin Perham
2021-08-29 22:42:54 +0000 UTCHang on, you’re not getting the Z in the UK? We’re confirmed to get it in Australia because Nissan knows they’ll make a killing over the Supra. That’s madness that it won’t be going to the UK
Jordan Mulach
2021-08-29 22:15:33 +0000 UTCI’d never watched the video to So Hard before and it does contain some nice chode, even if I didn’t have a clue what was going on in the video

2021-08-29 20:45:31 +0000 UTCAhhhh yes, of course.

2021-08-29 19:13:37 +0000 UTCIt was Matt Bianco that were called a bunch of wankers. I think that incident caused the delay being added to live phone-ins 😁
