I'm Richard Porter.

I'm Johnny Smith.

And this is on the other side of things that Smith and Sniff spin off

in which we answer your questions.

We know how this works by now.

You send us questions to helloatsmithandsniff.com

and we try and answer some of them in a timely manner.

Yeah.

Well, asterisk timely means within two days.

Hold you know, as you said, said this.

I've just dredged out a lovely sweet email from a foreign country that was sent to us in

January 2025 from a manual.

Go on then.

Sweet SSGs.

This is my second attempt as I erroneously sent this insanely crucial fact via the contact

form on the website, which apparently wasn't the right way to do it.

Sorry.

If you had to receive this twice then.

As this is a matter of utmost importance for the petrol or vault driven community,

I will grace it with my infinite wisdom.

This might be right up Richard's alley.

In the Flemish language, yes, the other language spoken in off of Belgium.

Ottosot actually means something coincidentally in the very relevant atmosphere.

We use the word auto for car.

phonetically, this often becomes a sound like auto.

Zot is our word for crazy or someone who is crazy about something.

Same thing applies here.

phonetically, this is often becoming zot, zot.

Put these two things together and you get autosot.

Pronounced autosot, meaning a car crazy person or a car nut or a car pivot if you really want.

From an electrician's tick to the core of the podcast,

some things seem to come together nicely sometimes.

Thank you for the podcast.

Happy with my car name, Emmanuel, CMTMB.

Wow.

Well, it's taken us a long time to reply Emmanuel.

And I'm really sorry to you and the Flemish community.

But that's a really good fact, isn't it?

Crazy car.

Yes, exactly. So autosot can in Flemish mean basically crazy car or crazy car people.

That's a really useful intel.

Emmanuel didn't have a question though. He's actually providing an answer,

which is good because it saves us the bottom.

Oh, gosh, is that still legal tender for autosot?

Would we allow that?

Not strictly, but because it was so interesting and so pertinent,

I think we're going to allow it rather.

I think so, and also it's a year and a bit late to be replied.

Well, exactly, a side order of guilt always makes things go down nicely.

I'll do an actual question then, just to bring things back on

brief, which is from a listener called Stephen Hynes.

He says, hello, you pair of dogs lipsticks.

I'm a day one listener, Patreon and two-time Glasgow live show attendee.

25 or so years ago, when I were just a lad,

the rear end of a bus swung out and destroyed every panel

on the passenger side of my pride and joy.

An EK Honda Civic brackets the 1.4 illusion model.

I take that all.

I assume it's a special edition.

The illusion.

Not being particularly worldly wise about my options,

I took the car to the nearest garage, the insurer recommended.

I had to reject the first courtesy car, a fetch in Quichanto,

on the grounds of being an entirely unable to squeeze my six-foot-four-inch frame into it.

Oh, I was then given a second-generation Punto instead,

and it had fewer than a hundred miles on the clock.

Hours after leaving with the car, I discovered that the bus that had hit me

and the garage doing the repairs were ultimately owned by the same group,

and that the bus company were contesting liability.

This meant my insurance cost would balloon until it was all sorted.

For the next three weeks, while my car was being repaired,

I treated this poor Punto terribly, just about every junction was treated

like I was at Santa Pod, and racing, racing for V5s.

The handbrake was used frequently for reasons other than parking.

I accidentally got it on two wheels during a bout of spirited Helmsman Re,

which almost resulted in a tremendous shunt, and when it eventually went back,

it needed two front tires and probably a clutch.

The insurance claim was eventually settled in my favour 11 months later,

just 24 hours before we were doing course, so I regret absolutely nothing.

My question is, have either of you been particularly vindictive to a car that wasn't yours,

higher-car, loner, etc? CMTNB Steven.

That's really odd that he brings this story up, and the car in question,

the higher-car, at least in question, is a Punto, because I did exactly the same thing.

My Ford Grenada Mark 1 low rider, which had very nice metal-flake paint,

broke down once for maybe the 16th time, and the transport company,

transport company, that loaded it onto the beaver tail.

They connected it wrong and the strap chafed on the front wing for about 100 miles,

and it chased through the metal-flake paint, and I was so beside myself,

because I knew that it was now unimpossible to match.

But they held their hand up, and they went, we'll sort it.

You take it to a body shop of your choice, and we'll do it.

So I found a body shop in Cheshire near where I lived, drove the car in,

the gaffer there went, well, he said, it's going to take us a while, and I said, okay,

well, I just want it right. And he, they gave me a Punto.

And although the repair garage was really nice, the principle of the whole thing annoyed me,

to the point where I drove the Punto as hard as I could.

So it was the first time I ever realized you could do 60 in second gear in a car.

I'd never done 60 in second before, but I can tell you now.

Those Punto's will do 60 in second, which I think is really impressive.

So yeah, that's all right. I'm funny enough. That's reminded me that I was a bit

horrible to a fear once, which was a bravo, the original bravo, because we had been making

an episode of the car's the star about the original Lada Saloon, in which a,

a Welsh schoolteacher who owned one of the oldest Ladas in Britain had, at the instruction of

the director, coasted his car down a quiet hill, country lane, to achieve this shot the director

wanted, which he was going to reverse, so that it looked like the car was driving itself backwards

up ahead. I can't remember why, I'm not sure he used it in the end, it was very weird.

So what he did was he said to this guy, could you just don't have the engine on?

I'm not sure why. So he didn't need it because of gravity. So just let the car coast down

this hill, but then can you just duck down below the dashboard so it looks like there's no one

driving. No way. It's just the late 90s. You'd never do that now because you'd go, oh my god,

the health and safety forms, but you're just not allowed to do it. The risk assessment would

go, I'm sorry, what? Can you just duck down behind the dash whilst going down a hill with the car

turned off? Yeah, what could possibly go wrong? Actually, you can't see, he might be able to see

where he's going. Also, he's not a professional racing driver, I think he is a schoolteacher,

who just likes ladders, but this happened and unfortunately the schoolteacher kept his head hidden

for too long, because he was trying to be helpful. And then when he popped his head up again,

the lad was heading towards a tree, which it then hit, he banged his head on the dashboard.

So I had to take him to hospital and get him checked out, because we were, he's got a concussion

or something. And then I took him home to his house in Cardiff, and his ladder was stashed by

the rest of the crew at a garage near where we were filming in Gloucestershire. And the following

week on a Friday night, my producer went, you've got to take that ladder back to that Welshman,

because he was a bit worried that this guy was going to sue the BBC or something. Well,

I'm not bloody trying to be as nice as possible. Was the car smashed right up, though?

No, it wasn't. Actually, it was fine. It wasn't a high speed impact, but it was enough that,

you know, when you're not wearing a seatbelt and you're not expecting to hit a tree.

Well, you're already down in the dash already. Yes, exactly. You're already sort of in the foot.

Well, the whole thing was extremely strange, but so my series producer happened to live not far

from where the car was stashed. So he drove me in his Jaguar XJ6 manual, I think, that he had at

the time. Oh, hello. Two, pick up the ladder, and the production office had arranged for a higher

car to be delivered to the Welsh schoolteacher's house in Cardiff, so I could then get home again.

Okay. I was already quite pissed off that I was having to do this on a Friday evening at

quite short notice. And I think it was like, I had plans, and there was going to spawn what

plans was going to be late to meet people or whatever. Yeah. So I brought this ladder,

if I was quite spiteful to two cars on that trip, because the ladder was absolutely horrible to

drive. It was like, there was no joy in it. It was such an awful nail of a car. And I remember,

and this is sort of youthful. Now I just sort of suck it up, I think. But at the time, sort of youthful

idiocy that I thought, well, I could try and make this journey a bit more enjoyable. And I'm going

to try and drift the ladder on a roundabout. What? Thankfully, it wasn't wet. And so it had no

chance, because it didn't have enough power to break free. But I was checking it into roundabouts

in a sort of cat-candy, scandy flick sort of way in the hope of sending it sideways. So it

would make the journey more amusing and less, less hateful. But that didn't happen. Thank

fuck. Got a bag, dropped the car off, had a cup of tea at a politeness with this guy and sort of,

you know, tried to make sure he was okay and wasn't going to sue us. And then he went, oh yeah,

this, they pushed some keys through the car. There's a fear to outside that's some for you. And so

I took this bravo and I was already in a bad mood. And then this bravo had the aerial on the roof

was rather flaccid at its base and just kept tapping on the glass sunroof. And it actually stopped

and popped it back up right. And it still just fell back down again. And so it didn't,

didn't, on the motorway. So again, I was just spiteful to this video. Extra marks for the word

flaccid. Well, I couldn't think how else to describe the bottom amount of a real burial. But yeah,

it's I was saying again, I think I was just like slamming it into third at motorway speeds

just out of spite because I was so cross with the situation and the specific fear with the

dinky aerial on the on the sunroof. Oh, I thought of another thing that I did once with a,

and I must apologize to Dacia some 15 years later. We were filming the sun arrow in Romania

when Dacia were about to launch in the UK. They hadn't launched in the UK yet.

And I have said this part of the story before. I'm sure I was working with a director kept making

me do vast amounts of repetition of everything. It's the point where it's getting quite weary. You

know, they'd make, he'd make you do a piece of camera 15 times at least even when the Salman gave

us that Salman did the thumbs up. I hit the mark if I needed to walk. Anyway, he did the same

with driving up and by. We were driving up and by and every time he would make me go back again

and then I don't know, a lorry came to the wind blank to us or a tractor. And in the end,

on the way back through, I was so cross, I was sort of a gripped the steering wheel and I like

these American films where they sort of punched the steering wheel. I roared at the steering wheel

and instead of going past him on the road, I went off into an open, there was an open gateway

into a field and I drove as I flat out in third gear across the field in the hope that I would

break the car. I just pinned the throttle and just aimed at anything. I was like, I'm going to

break this because my rationale was if I break the car, we can't do any more filming and I'm over

this. I've actually never never watched back that video. I don't have any idea what that will be

like, but it could be appalling. Spring is here and that means summer is just around the corner,

but is your garage floor summer ready? In the warm-a-months, we'd love to fling open our garage doors

I don't think I've read this one out before but this one also is from January 2025.

Rise. Chat called Reese Jennings. High Reese firstly. So sorry for reading this out so late. You

probably don't even listen to the podcast anymore and you'd be completely within your rights to do so.

Chaps, he doesn't even insult us. High Chaps, thanks for all the podcast I've kept me,

company, working from home over the last few years. One thing I've pondered about with car design

is how do they design, decide what information to display to the driver on the dashboard

and what would you display if you had the final say. I've had a few cars over the years

which show all the normal things you'd need but then my last two cars have gone one step further.

My 350Z, a Nissan, and he said, Datsun, making me sound like an elderly person. My 350Z would,

sorry, 350Z would usually tell me at all times what my battery voltage was in a prime location

on the center of the dashboard. It would also allow me to switch to a digital MPG readout

that went all the way up to a maximum of 60 which I think a 350Z would only achieve

if it was thrown off a high bridge. My current car, a Lexus ISF, oh, sweet car.

People though, he's probably had three other cars since then because this is such an old letter.

My current car, a Lexus ISF, also shows the battery voltage opposite my oil temperature

but then one ups the 350Z by having a permanently illuminated symbol to tell me to the passenger

hairbag is live and I should absolutely not put a child seat in that passenger seat.

Who was in the boardrooms in Japan to say battery voltage must be always accessible piece of

information? Did they also decide that my aircon must be on the touchscreen but give me two

twidly knobs for my radio? And my second question, if I may be so bold, is what other strange

information have you seen displayed in cars you've driven? Is it a Japanese thing I wonder?

Hmm. Thanks, guys. I'm still trying to get over the FOMO I have from not being at the piston

heads meet you guys attended on Sunday. Well, that's the one we did it at Haines. The Haines

Motivision. Well, it chees. Yeah, that feels like it was about 20 years ago but when did you say

was that? That was January start of 25. That was the start of 25. It was. I drove my 2CV,

that was the main voyage of the 2CV. This is a good question. I mean, what would you like to have

displayed? I mean, for me, oil temp is always like, because when you do have a car with an oil temp

gauge, you realize how much more slowly the oil warms up compared to the water. This is true. So

it's a really nice thing to have. Or even some emojis, you know those speed cameras when you go

into villages where you have a, a smiley green face or an amber straight mouthed person

or an angry red red face. Yes, yeah, yeah. You could symbolize oil temperature in such a way

that it sort of gives you the green light to give it a good thrashing, but not before.

I can't. No, don't have been some cars. I mean, the Yaris, I think, was the first car I remember,

the original Yaris, where it didn't have a water temp gauge, which I would rather still have,

but instead, it just had a blue temperature icon, which went out when the water was up to temp.

Yes. And I've seen other cars do it since. But I'm golf, Mark IV, I think, does that, or

certainly the beetle of that era, the 2000s beetle, it just has a blue temperature icon,

which then goes out. But the other question is, is it Japanese things to have strange information

and what else have we seen? I think it is. Yeah, I think it's particularly sort of quite an

old-school Japanese, like probably from the 80s or even the 70s. I suppose it's because it's sort of

felt the more information your car is showing you, the more it's almost like it's more high-tech and

more thought-through and the more the more power and knowledge the owner has. You know those ones that,

and it's not exclusively in Japanese cars, but those ones that show you the torque split on a

four-wheel drive car. Yeah. And I always go, oh, I love that. But then you're never really looking

at it when it's at its most interesting, and you shouldn't be, because that's probably when you're

doing some spicy corners. The same is true, broadly, of a turbo boost gauge. Yeah. It's in

relevant information. When your turbo is boosting, well, you'll know about it, probably sticking

in an old-school car. Yeah. You know, my metro turbo, which hopefully I will be driving very,

very soon, the boost gauge is LEDs in the rev counter. It's like you're not looking down. I mean,

you might glance at the rev counter I suppose to know when to change up, but the turbo bit is

irrelevant information. It's just basically showing you the turbo's working. That's a good point.

It's a bragging thing, isn't it? Yeah. That's a very good point, actually. I tell you what,

I feel like most manufacturers have missed. You know, there's been a real relationship between

the modified car world and certain things, then making them their way onto production cars,

because I guess they became iconic or cult. Well, I remember the first time I experienced the

JDM A-Pillar gauge cluster, and I was absolutely blown away by how cool that was. A,

A-Pillar, but A, like you get in the car and none of them are in your way until you're

sat in the seat, and they're all completely aligned with the eye line of the driver.

A racing car, if you've been in a racing car, which has a shift light and an oil light,

and all the big lights which you need to keep an eye on, they've got to be in your

peripheral vision when you're driving 10 tents. But the A-Pillar gauge cluster, I think why

hasn't that ever made its way into mass production? Like the current Supra, or the last

iteration of the Supra. I could have imagined that with some A-Pillar cluster magic.

I would have been in love that. I wonder, is there some... Well, there can't be a safety thing.

You're not going to sweat your head on that. Is it airbag curtainage? Is it a visibility maybe?

There's sort of car makers have loads of internal rules. Yeah. Visibility and stuff, don't they?

Yeah, apparently GM's rules. American stoplights, you know, often suspended above the road.

Other shit. And GM had some internal rules about visibility of stoplights. If you were first,

you know, on the front of the queue, which meant that a lot of their cars had sort of very big

windscreens. They obviously had a receding roof line and they just made them look shit.

It's a story from one of Bob Lutz's books. So they got their new Chrysler 300, not the one like

that we got here, but they're sort of really cab forward one for the LH platform. And they got

one in the studio because they're like, this is an amazing looking car. It's getting loads of

positive coverage because of how radical and cool it looks. And the GM sort of fun police went,

well, obviously we could never make that car because look, it doesn't meet our rules on being

able to look at stoplights and Bob Lutz went, fuck that. People buy cars because they look nice,

not because it's easy to see traffic lights. And he's probably got a point. That's got a massive

high wonder if a lot of people drive cars with terrible pillars and blinds.

Well, they do, don't they also think about this, but because they look nice, you know, and obviously

GM went the other way and started making the Camaro, which was like driving around in a postbox.

But I think that maybe to the pillars gauges with these are some, I think they're really

structured if you that much, they do, though. No, but also, you know, the kind of,

I like, I love the idea of, you know, those top opening dashboard glove boxes,

like vans have pressed them once and they pop up and you press them again and they go back down.

Imagine if you had a sneaky cluster of gauges in what appears to be like a crab shell,

which comes out of the top of the dash. So you could, when you knew you were going to do some

track work or some fast road work, you could let these expose themselves. But when you were just

plain sailing a day, just keep them concealed jump like the vents on an F type, the central vent

on a Jag F type rose up. Yeah. So it's that sort of idea, isn't it? The rising up vents when you

are doing heavy road work or track work, it would, yeah, it would just pop out. Yeah, that's the

next idea. It is, because I, because we've reached peak overload of acreage of screen on dash,

I feel like it's got to go about the other way and we've said it a little while ago of

my sister in law has got an Audi A1 and I think that was, it might be 10 years old that car

and it's got a little pop up screen in the middle of the dash for the mess. Oh, yeah, it's only a

small thing. It's probably about four inches square or something, but it's discrete and I forget

how classy it is. And it's like, it's there if you want it to be, but it can also disappear if

you just think it's shit. So it's fine. And so I kind of like that. I feel like we should go back to

the interesting cubbies and gauges if you want them, but gauges if you don't want them. I still

think the strangest button, and again, it's got to be a Japanese thing, was the, is the thing on

Honda Insight, which is the largest button on the dash, which is FCD. And it was a button that

was about the size of a 50-pence piece. And for ages, it's like, what does FCD mean? And it's just

fuel consumption display. And you press it. But it's bigger than the hazard warning light button.

It's bigger than every other button, but I guess because it was a hypermiling car,

they made sure it was prominent. And you press it, and it just does the combined MPG. It just

brings it up on the main part of the screen. That's it. There is no other function. It doesn't do

anything else. It doesn't scroll through any other info. It's bizarre.

But if anyone will mention to that switch in Subaru's that said,

brace on it and just made the clock slightly brighter.

Yeah, that's that.

Unju prominence to a thing that's very, very minor.

Which nowadays, you know, if you really want your clock brightness changing,

there'll be some kind of setting in the touchscreen.

Yeah. The fact that they gave it a bespoke switch was a thing of wonder.

Yeah, a bit like Serb Night Mode, which you've talked about loads before,

because Serb's Night Mode is just great.

I'll never find it now, but I'm sure we had a message from a listener who pointed out that

that Night Mode was available in, I think, the Alpha 159.

Oh.

But in a here we go, I found it.

How did you find that so fast?

Well, I just searched 159 and I hope it was.

It's from a listener called Carl, who he's the signs off Carl off of Sweden.

He says, on a recent autosol, one of my fellow listeners sort of vice in his next car,

a former Serb 9.5 and Audi A2, I know he was now considering

amongst other things an Alpha 159.

I think you were right to direct him towards it, and here's why.

The 159 isn't to a not insignificant degree, a Serb and an Alpha.

A cocktail that would give even the Nagronia run for its money, if you ask me.

A little known fact about the 159 is that as a result of it being a Serb,

it comes equipped with a version of Night Panel, which is activated by a long press on the

minus button for the dashboard illumination.

I love that. A long press on the minus button.

A long press. So you probably wouldn't know it was there.

That was brilliant information, Carl.

He's a former Serb 9.5 owner, current Audi A2 owner,

and constantly dreams of a 159.

I love that.

But yeah, I guess it would be in a sort of electrical architecture thing,

because those cars with the GM's premium platform.

But then weirdly, also my old VxR8 holding Commodore by another name,

had Night Panel, which you activated.

I think by holding down the plus and minus of the instrument.

Oh, together.

A illumination thing.

And that did your Night Panel there.

And that's not Serb.

I wonder if GM just went, actually, this is quite a good idea.

Or if, in fact, this isn't an electrical module that was shared across various platforms.

I don't know, but yeah, it's interesting that that functionality,

the little bit of Swedish DNA found itself into the module.

Yeah, horrible mention to the completely hidden heated steering wheel button on many pauses.

Oh, yes.

Because it's just so hidden that you have to be told where it is by an adult.

I guess it would be a joy if you'd bought a second hand pauser

and discovered, after like nine months of ownership,

that it had a heated wheel he didn't know about.

Because if you bought the kind of new, you probably would,

you'd have to have spec'd it, wouldn't you?

Yeah, yeah.

But it's, yeah, it's a really, it's a really hidden button now.

I feel like, I feel like Reese's question should be thrown out to the audience,

although he did end it by saying, I'd love to have Johnny vigilante detail my filthy ISF

with now nearly 200,000 miles that I've daily driven in our grotto UK winter weather.

So by now, Reese has probably done 270,000 miles.

Well, a hero.

Yeah, absolute hero.

Thank you, Reese.

And sorry, it's taken a little bit of time to read out your questions.

Yes, it's a good question.

Well, here's one.

Good evening, you fine gentleman.

I manage a fleet of delivery vehicles and occasionally I get asked to assist with the personal cars

of the company's owners.

The current car I am dealing with is a K-12 micro of the 08 vintage.

Yes.

It happens to be a 25th anniversary edition.

I didn't know they did that.

I think I did.

I think I did.

I think I've seen one for sale not that long ago.

I thought this would mean some exciting options.

It does not.

Unfortunately, this example has not been specced with the nightshade purple paint.

But does come with the only other option.

An iPod Nano dock.

Oh, okay.

Very period, though, isn't it?

It's so period, so period, I love it.

When did I have that smart roadster Brabus long-term?

Because I had that retrofitted.

It was an official smart accessory with an iPod dock,

which was properly attached to the sort of just on the passenger side by the gear lever.

And you could choose to have it come with a smart branded iPod.

Oh, really?

Which clipped into the thing which I've still got in a draw somewhere, I think.

You still want the smart iPod?

Yeah, I think so.

Can I have it?

My smart.

It's just a good...

Yeah, oh, shit.

Yeah, because if you could find the kit, I didn't keep the kit, obviously.

That went away with the car, but yeah.

I'll have a look and you're welcome to it.

Anyway, Stuart's question is, what is the worst special edition option you have seen a car come with?

Oh, there's some terrible muck around.

I've talked about black edition.

Yes.

It's just not an edition.

It's just you've chosen black.

And maybe there's two pieces of plastic on the car which have been blacked, which weren't before.

That's not, that doesn't warrant an edition.

Come on.

One of my favourites, which I put into one of my boring car trivia books, was the, in the late 80s,

they did a pair of special edition minis, original minis,

called the red hot and the jet black.

I remember those.

And as well.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah, they were quite...

Yeah, they were quite grievey little things, but they came with, or rather, sorry, Austin

Rover gave away a cassette tape of contemporary hit music to promote these cars.

And one side was called red hot hits.

And the other side was called jet black hits or something like that.

And I can't remember.

I put the track list to go, because I found it.

I put it in the book and I can't avoid it now.

But they came up with this idea.

Well, give away tapes and they'll remind people these special editions exist and hopefully

they'll go by one.

I think, and then they realised that the spec they'd already decided on for the red hot and jet black

didn't include a tape player.

No way.

So, to avoid a barra situation where they were called out on this, if you bought a mini red hot

or jet black, you got a free, I think branded Sony Walkman.

Oh my gosh.

That's what it was.

Which was basically a quick fit.

That's so Austin Rover, you go to the effort of coming up with a track listing for a cassette

and then you realise there's nowhere to play it in the thing that you've just bought

that you're trying to promote.

I mean, seriously.

Well, that's it.

I presume they'd already sort of licensed the music and had the labels printed for the cassette.

So it was too late to back out of the cassette.

They had to just find a way to get around it.

Also, I don't know why they didn't just go off the screw.

It will just make a radio cassette player standard in the car.

Maybe that would have cost more than just giving away a walkman.

Yeah.

But my favourite, I mean, I don't know, this was a special edition as such,

but it's something I've made a note of it because I have this little, you know,

folder in my phone for things to put into another boring car trivia book if I ever do one.

And I found this out a while ago.

And it's, it's a little of the other things because it's so shit.

Do you know the Mercury Marauder?

Yeah.

Sort of spicy blacked out version of the Ford Crown V.

Yeah, you know I won one.

Come on, we've had this conversation.

I know. Well, I won, of course.

Yeah, we did.

What Crown Vic enthusiast wouldn't.

Yeah, but the Mercury Marauder now, I think this was every one of them,

not just because they didn't make that many, did they?

No.

So it sort of counts as a special edition.

Yeah.

Every Mercury Marauder came with a leather jacket.

I've kept a screen grab.

I think this is from the brochure.

It says standard on the Marauder is an item that's essential

for enthusiasts of high performance.

A black leather jacket.

I'm not joking.

I swear, this is what it says.

It's for lining features a pattern of the God's head logo.

I think it's the, that's the Mercury logo.

Yeah, yeah.

A classic detail that also appears on the cuff snaps and zipper pull.

By a Marauder, get the leather jacket.

How's that for an initiation right?

Oh, Richard, can we please

buy a Mercury Marauder, but we need to find two jackets, obviously.

Ideally, I'd like yours to be much too short for you.

Mine to be much too long.

So I don't like it.

It's just Matrix.

And you just look like someone who's gone to a charity shop and had no other options.

Anyway, that's quite enough of this.

If you're selling a Mercury Reorder with a leather jacket,

do get in touch.
