Also in this episode, drift-spec plane landings, unusual airline seat arrangements, Branson’s printed boarding pass, a celebrity spot at Santa Pod, sleeping in a Honda Element, terrible Chevrolets, a slightly boastful Daewoo Matiz being sold from a neat house, Richard’s ongoing Panda woes, the rare Kia Magentis atomatic, a night time roundabout incident, the problem with the Kia EV6 GT, motorway balloon chaos, very dusty van interiors, and airport vehicles with snorkels.patreon.com/smithandsniff

    Misha is a legend on the Nurburgring, big faux pas here fellas, time for humble pie in the next episode

    HubNut did buy his Matiz new ... but sold it and bought it back many years later , so in fact it is not a one owner car

    We all respect you 2, before judging Misha you really should look into his background and what he does every day… the guy lives on the Nurburgring… I have no doubt he would demolish Lewis and Max on the ring because he had done probably tens of thousands of laps round the place. Also enjoyed Jonnie referring to him as a UK RUclipsr 😬😂 definitely not the case haha

    Had the accelerator hit the floor doing 70 in the outside lane of the M25 about 20 years ago in a montego . Managed to hit the hazards and skip the gaps to the shoulder without hitting any of the impatient southerners. Fixed the problem with a rubber band on the shoulder. Different times

    Misha is actually based at the ring, drives other people's cars but also races in NLS with black falcon bilstein. Missed the mark badly on this one

    • @smithandsniff
      @smithandsniff  10 месяцев назад +3

      Not casting aspersions on any of that, only his claim that he'd be faster than Lewis Hamilton round the 'Ring. He's good, but that sounds like a stretch.

    • @Richard_Turner
      @Richard_Turner 10 месяцев назад +15

      @smithandsniff I'd actually take him on that one, as Hamilton wouldn't have the experience, knowing the little details you get after 1000s of laps. I actually know Misha personally, his track knowledge is right up there to be honest. Any other circuit, of course no, but the ring is unique.. why I love it so much, I'm actually here now, my megane isn't rented tho! 🤣

    • @steven44799
      @steven44799 10 месяцев назад +9

      Like Sabine, he drove 1000s of ring taxi laps. He might not have Hamilton on a bunch of other tracks, but I’d give him decent odds on the ring just by knowing the track so well.

    • @Mowser63
      @Mowser63 10 месяцев назад +4

      Agree with the above comments on Misha…. He’s actually a very talented driver with huge experience driving the Ring, in all manner of vehicles. He’s more than capable of hanging in there with some of the best.
      He’s also not “UK based”. He’s originally Russian I believe and was previously known as “Boosted Boris” although now harks under his own name. With 900k subs, he’s done ok for himself ☺️

      @sq1rlsqu4d 10 месяцев назад +3

      I'm with you on this one, in like-for-like machinery my money would also be on Misha. I suspect that the younger lads that also do sim racing (Max, Lando et al) would stand a better chance of beating Misha than Lewis would.

    I used to own a Kia Magentis V6 auto in metallic green and fitted with LPG, a 52 plate if I remember, came in as a trade in when i worked at Kia, great car but used to cut out when pulling out at junctions thanks to the agricultural LPG system that was fitted to it lol 😁

    Morning Richard ,with regards to your 100hp Panda and it's head gasket /piston problem
    Pause for a moment to consider that the clean piston is number four ,which is the hottest end of the engine being further from the water pump and cooling system inlet /outlet,this is where the head gasket failed and as a result of the failure no doubt coolant was entering the cylinder and that's what has been cleaning up the piston crown,also dislodging any carbon that may well of given rise to some if not all of the bore scoring,may not be time for a replacement lump ,just yet ?...

    As a cabin crew , and as you mention with the crew seat on the back of the toilet door this would have been a airbus A320, it would also have a phone attached with switches for the lights above, the crew member wouldn’t have sat down if you had entered, because to lock the door you lift the seat pull the lever across to lock the seat in place then unlock the door , if she had sat down you would have been locked inside, the seat is inward facing for crew members to keep observation in the cabin during take off and landing

    And further to the break calliper incident I was once at a second hand garage in Bournemouth and the owner arrived with a BMW on the back of a flat bed with a tremendous hole in his windshield, he showed me the Audi Q7s calliper that had somehow come off and luckily smashed through the centre of the BMWs screen. Could so easily have been fatal .

    You guys need to do some more research on Misha before talking that way about him. Huge fan of both if you but firstly he's not from the uk and secondly his lap times prove he's not a incompetent driver.

      Apols, but we only discovered him a few hours before recording. I don't watch his material and so only saw the Reliant Kitten from the thumbnail. As you might know I don't care about the Nurburgring really - it's too long and complicated for my brain. Jonny
