Watch Two Blokes Stroll through an Auction in the English Countryside

By Jeff Glucker Mar 4, 2020

One bloke goes by the name Jonny Smith. The other is called Richard Porter. They both know quite a lot about cars.

If you’re not familiar, Porter was a long-serving writer for Top Gear. He’s also penned a few books, and maintains some hilarious posts on his website www.SniffPetrol.com. Jonny Smith is an automotive journalist and TV presented in the UK. He’s hosted Fifth Gear and a number of other programs. Together, the pair are known as Smith and Sniff and on this adventure, the two are ambling about at an auction filled with heaps of former-glory machines.

This is the exact sort of auction most of you would love to stroll through with a buddy. That’s why I think you’ll enjoy the above video. It’s long, at 44 minutes, but it flows easily since it’s like you’re a part of the group walking through the cars and trucks in various states of disrepair.

One vehicle I am more curious about myself is shown near the beginning of the video. It’s a Range Rover Classic with a bunch of stickers on it. The ones on the door read VANS, as in the southern California skate-shoe company. The script on the back says WINCH WAGON. There’s also a SPY sticker and a handful more, and I really want to know about which sort of event this thing served in support duty capacity.

  1. “A Volvo DAF, a 66 yeah, a Variomatic thing… I don’t mind them… They’re weird and they, they, they do break down a lot.”

    True.
