Listening to the "kid logic" on @smithandsniff.bsky.social OTOSOT about becoming a lawyer in order to get a Jag XJ. Fairly sure the reason I wanted to be an architect for a while as a kid is because my architect neighbour had a string of cool cars including a Nissan 180SX and an Audi 80 Coupe.

Listening to @smithandsniff.bsky.social OTOSOT and there was mention of driving with Derek Bell. He’s a bit crap?
If it was Five Time Le Mans Winner Derek Bell, he’d be ace.

Jonny mentioning a weird Jag show on @smithandsniff.bsky.social OTOSOT reminds me of one of the biggest "Hope the ground swallows everyone up" moment of writing about cars for a living.
MG ZS launch, the first of the SUV ones in the 2010s.

Fully agree with Jonny on the latest @smithandsniff.bsky.social OTOSOT on the stupid flappy rear fabric sunshade things that have sprung up over the last decade or so. Can't be great for aero and they look ridiculous, like a temporary fix for someone smashing your rear windows.

Re: "4D" plates on @smithandsniff.bsky.social OTOSOT, I've always thought they looked like text in a magazine when there's been an alignment issue at the printers. The raised letters give them a kind of fuzzy shadow which looks like the ink hasn't all been printed in the same place.

The car pronunciation discussion on @smithandsniff.bsky.social OTOSOT reminds me that as a kid I pronounced Integra, as in the Honda, with the emphasis on the first syllable, IN-teg-ra rather than in-TEG-ra. Before stuff had been featured on TV you kinda just had to guess.

In a recent OTOSOT a listener was trying to place an album cover with an old American car on it. In today's main show, that mystery is solved (with confirmation from the listener himself)...

Yes, it's our 100th episode of OTOSOT. No, we didn't realise that until after we'd recorded it. Yes, we are useless.

Just listening to OTOSOT and there’s the question about BMW etc having lost it.
The new 3 series is still lost.
This has been bouncing around in my head for a while but the translation from Neue Klasse concept is Vel Satis bad.

Pleased that @sniffpetrol.com brought up that Metronomy album with the Insight on OTOSOT, discovered it when I had mine in the same grey colour.
Other one which has always stood out is the Citroen DS on Feeder's "Yesterday Went Too Soon".

Re: "Looks like a Jaguar" in the latest OTOSOT, @sniffpetrol.com. Firstly, that song was 25yrs old just a week or so ago so that might have been why people were sharing it on social media (I think I did myself...)
