Jonny is up there as a genuine top tier presenter, he has become more polished yet still humble which is how we like our Englishmen. A breath of fresh air in a smog of trash talk.
Couldn’t agree more, would’ve loved to see him on Top Gear instead of Paddy McGuinness who just clowns about and knows nothing about what makes a car good or bad.
This was just a brilliant film delivered beautifully. Like his mate Chris, Jonny has something interesting to say about cars and totally influences what I think and feel about them. Nice one.
Good to see a car being reviewed as it would be used. Looks like a wonderful experience just to sit in. No pointless powersliding. In fact, there was little point in opening the bonnet!!!
The quality of your writing is incredible Jonny. Then delivered with a cadence and confidence that just fits the subject matter so well. I appreciate Rolls Royce so much. Yes, you can argue that they are a rich man’s comfort but everyone can appreciate the level of attention to detail in the car. And that it is focussed where every engineer wants it to be. In the quality of the product. I’m envious and I would love a tour of the process with the Engineers.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a considered comment Gareth. As you say, it is about appreciating the engineering and quality rather than be envious of not owning one.
The flying business class comment struck a chord with me. I've done it once and have ever since felt a twang of regret when I turn right getting on a plane.
Such effortless presentation and a joy to watch. There's a real feel good factor from watching Jonny and if he was a salesman I'd probably just go "..'ere 'ave me money." You connect with him. For me way more likeable than other big name presenters who are on here.
Massively watchable vid. It’s the mark of a good journalist to be able to turn their hand to producing interesting, insightful and engaging work on almost any facet of a subject matter. In JS’s case he’s able to do that from barn finds right the way across to top end luxury motors. All in a way that makes the content relatable since the viewer will most likely not own an RR for example. Rock solid production value and quality mixed in with a uniqueness in JS’s approach to the subject makes these videos up there with the best in class. Well done! Keep em coming. We need more and more including more brown chair action - which sounds like what happens when you go around a bend too quickly and literally lose your back end...
This was such a well balanced and beautifully delivered review. Just the right amount of awe and respect, just the right amount of geekiness and just the right amount of humour. Maybe you should do this for a living!
Great episode! The technical details you provide are what make your reviews more informative than most others and the clever ways you work them in are an excellent entertaining bonus!
Thanks for this Johnny. Not just for the great review, but for bringing back happy memories of family Christmases in Stamford. 30 years since my last teenage Christmas there. Belated best wishes for 2021.
Enjoyed that, thanks Jonny. The Lake Brake Show is one of my handful of 'must watch 'YT channels (along with Harry, Carfection, Iain Tyrrell & Retropower).
I love how you produce content from the basic to the unobtainable while maintaining engagement with the audience. There is a reason for the meteoric rise of your channel! High production values, excellent content and great presenting. I have placed a bet on you reaching 1m subscribers by the end of 2021. No pressure, just keep doing what you're doing. Thank you 😊
I love your channel jonny, whether it's a Rolls Royce or Citroen ami or Allegro you are always just as enthusiastic and you always give us the " full works tour." Fantastic.
I endorse the pinned comment. Jonny Smith, you have presented a pinnacle in luxury motoring with an understanding and yet, knowing most of us have no concept or likely to experience, making sure we are educated into the Rolls Royce Ghost concept. In all the world of chances, I’m never to experience but now know. Thank you.
Fantastic as usual. I’ve always thought that a rolls wouldn’t be for me, even if I had the money. Watching that has made me rethink that. It’s an event being in one.
I kept expecting the Ghost of Christmas present to correct you saying “Six and three-quarter litre”. That car is pretty sumptuous for an entry level. Class act, you and the car 👍
Seeing this film Jonny, reminds me of a job I did for an event company in 2015. Myself & 5 others had to take 4 Rolls Royce Ghosts & one Phantom, from Rolls Royce Goodwood on the Sunday afternoon to a Geneva hotel by 7am Monday morning ! As we got given the keys the red arrows flew straight overhead Perfect timing I thought, but wasn’t for us, as it was the last day of the Goodwood festival! We turned up at the euro tunnel as a 5 car procession, getting very strange looks,! then from Calais it was a overnight dash to just outside Geneva where we regrouped to cross into Switzerland. Whilst waiting to be cleared we were put with the HGV’s which was interesting! Finally reached the hotel just before 7am - job done & a unforgettable experience!
Slight problem with this line-up. Both Button and Martin have thick accents, which would make the show hard to market abroad. Forgive me for saying this myself, but I think my English is pretty good and even I can't understand Guy half and Jenson some of the time.
Ooooo, luverly... I ate many Jaffa Cakes while watching this, to give myself an appropriate sense of luxury and occasion.. I bet the Jimny feels a bit, err, prol' after driving this Ghost around.
Excellent Jonny, shame your parents never got the opportunity in New Ghost. New format is superb pal, really appreciate your work and attention to the detail, The Car Pervert never far away ❤️
Digital gauges in a Rolls Royce seems like a mistake. I know it's the done thing right now but they wont be as timeless as some well made analogue gauges and seem a bit cheap to me.
It’s going to be really interesting to see an electric Rolls. I think it will play into the strengths of such luxury cars and there will be increased waft!
Compared with the vast majority of average cars out there that cost £30,000 to £ 50,000, this car is well worth ten times the value and then some. Agree that RR are perfectly positioned for electrification too. Great video Jonny
Thanks for all your work Johnny, Smith and Sniff was getting a play this morning as well! ....On the Roller....nice-ish ...BUT....can't not see a bit of C and S class in the rear and now I can't unsee it.
I like the fact that you're dressing for the part for every review now and the music matches I thought you was going to a snooker match .Does the back remind anyone else of a Rover 75? I'd actually like to see a two-door coupe version with maybe a futuristic fast hybrid?👇🤭👍
I love the more thoughtful tempo and precision of JS on YT. It’s a relaxed pace, with an effortless demeanour that’s easy to watch. I think this platform suits him much better than TV. This car would have been reviewed in 7mins by 5 people on 5th Gear! All snappy edits and sound bytes which never suited the JS character I felt.
Another super slick and very watchable production, you're a master at your craft. As a direct result of this review I've invested fairly heavily in this Friday's Euro lottery, fingers crossed.
Noisiest thing about the driving experience seems to be the drivers hands sliding on the steering wheel....surely they could’ve made the wheel covering out of a quieter material 😂
Happy new year Jonny, and Ghost of Christmas Present :) Your videos are a real treat to watch, as you know how to make something that is really entertaining without being too showy - much like the featured car this week? :D
Thank you for this wonderful review of what is to my mind the world’s most beautiful car in every way, it manages to tick all of the boxes for performance and luxury and one day I will own one.
I started work in a local garage aged fifteen,we had a customer who bought a Sunbeam Alpine.A real character who had his own bonnet mascot which had to be mounted on every car he owned,it looked great on the Alpine.I think everyone should start using them.A little individuality for every car especially bland ones......................
I met a woman last year in the village fuel station who had a solid silver huge snail bonnet mascot bolted to her new Mini Cooper S cabrio. I commented and she said someone gave it to her as a joke birthday present 40 years ago. She has had it on every single car since. She was a hoot.
I've never been the biggest fan of Rolls Royce's , but I've got to say I love this one. That said the different grill design looks like it was taken from an 80s Cadillac of some sort. Great review Jonny.
The tapered rear end is so classic in car design, lots of iconic cars had it: Jag XJ's , Citroen DS,SM,CX, Alfa GTV Bertone, De Tomaso Deauville to name only a few. I'm not really into Rolls but this car is very nice.
I've found the taste disappears very quickly with the alcohol free version. If you haven't done the brewery tour in Southwold, then I can highly recommend it.
Yup. Nailed it. This review exemplifies what I like about Johnny Smith. Very well researched lots of useful information delivered in a very approachable and engaging way. There is no one else quite like you Johnny, and I’m happy with that state of affairs. Bravo to Rolls-Royce motor cars for giving you that for a week so that you could deliver this to us And bravo to you on your presentation. Absolutely capital old bean 👌 I’m sure that I am about to read many comments that will echo similar sentiments, but I wanted to put my two Guineas worth in. (Two cents just doesn’t seem to cut it here)
It’s all very Capitalist Hancock and Cummings. We are told to sell our cars to save the planet while the elite drive around in 6.5l v12 twin turbo Rolls. Good journalism and beautiful car.
There’s something just right about a Jonny Smith car review, no mater what the subject, it always leaves me with a smile on my face.
RR, if you're reading this, please let Jonny borrow it another time so he can take his parents out for a nice lunch. Thanks
I refuse to buy this car until we get them in the back seat!
Jonny is up there as a genuine top tier presenter, he has become more polished yet still humble which is how we like our Englishmen. A breath of fresh air in a smog of trash talk.
Johnny is my favourite car presenter of all time. That includes all the tv shows and RUclipsrs.
I agree, since he dropped that Richard fellow he has gone from strength to strength.
@@EV4RY he hasn’t dropped him, Richard is fantastic.
Couldn’t agree more, would’ve loved to see him on Top Gear instead of Paddy McGuinness who just clowns about and knows nothing about what makes a car good or bad.
Absolutely 👍
It takes real integrity to be as excited for a Citroen Ami as for a Rolls Rolls Ghost.
Just a genuine love of good engineering and design, I think.
Absolutely right!
I've absolutely never had any interest in a rolls, but this is a jonny Smith video, always worth a watch. Enjoyable as ever!
This was just a brilliant film delivered beautifully. Like his mate Chris, Jonny has something interesting to say about cars and totally influences what I think and feel about them. Nice one.
Calmness in his delivery is the key I reckon. No rush. Makes for a relaxing watch, Harry Metcalfe is the master of this..
This is one of the finest examples of when a manufacturer listens to its customers and exceeds expectations in every level! Simply fantastic 😍
If hyundai listened to its customer base it would turn into a betterware catalogue on wheels.
@@SD-tj5dh lol 😂

Jonny Smith, 2021
He wrote, quotingly
Good to see a car being reviewed as it would be used. Looks like a wonderful experience just to sit in. No pointless powersliding. In fact, there was little point in opening the bonnet!!!
Whenever I see one of these things I automatically look at the weighted wheel centres .. I still think that is a great idea ..
The quality of your writing is incredible Jonny.
Then delivered with a cadence and confidence that just fits the subject matter so well.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a considered comment Gareth. As you say, it is about appreciating the engineering and quality rather than be envious of not owning one.
I’m a Design Engineer. I can’t help it.
Thanks for you reply also. The internet can be a shitty place, I appreciate this.
The flying business class comment struck a chord with me. I've done it once and have ever since felt a twang of regret when I turn right getting on a plane.
The loudest thing during the drive was your hand sliding around on the steering wheel. Incredibly quiet car!
Very simple and authentic approach Jonny. Such a calming on camera manner. Thank you and good luck in 2021
Whilst the "sprit ladies" swift dive when affronted is of course useful for vandal resistance it's actually there to pass pedestrian impact regs!
I can imagine my Silver Shadow with the Ghost engine & tech underneath. That would be absolutely splendid.
Such effortless presentation and a joy to watch. There's a real feel good factor from watching Jonny and if he was a salesman I'd probably just go "..'ere 'ave me money." You connect with him. For me way more likeable than other big name presenters who are on here.
Oh my. You really are taking RUclips to new heights with your excellent film making Mr Smith.
Hats off to you all.

Thank you for the kind comment and welcome aboard TLBS. Really glad you are enjoying the variety of the channel.
PS: brown chair action is my new favourite slogan.
Wonderful video, thank you Jonny, fascinating and rewarding to watch, truly one of the best channels on RUclips
Cheers Richard!
Probably the only time I’ll get to see inside a new roller, so thank you 😊👍
This was such a well balanced and beautifully delivered review. Just the right amount of awe and respect, just the right amount of geekiness and just the right amount of humour. Maybe you should do this for a living!

Ok, won't fit in my garage, forget it
Blow out the back wall and be done with it!
Enjoyed that, thanks Jonny. The Lake Brake Show is one of my handful of 'must watch 'YT channels (along with Harry, Carfection, Iain Tyrrell & Retropower).
I consider us very fortunate to be held in high regard amongst those other channels.
Not just a brilliant review but a great advert for Lincolnshire and Stamford, Mr Smith, you are a genius.
The car senses when peasants are trying to see where the spirit lady went to shoot back up punching them in the face.
i have covid, covid is shit. But Jonny, Jonny is good and makes covid not so bad. Thank you Jonny.
Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery Jack.
And I agree.
Very enjoyable. You have a sense of wonder, even still, talking about something you obviously love.
23.31 that is some swift umbrella work
The content, editing, production and presentation style of your videos really is the best out there. Incredibly watchable.
We tried our best given the circumstances, thank you Martin.
Every single video is an absolute masterpiece. Jonny, you have the touch. I can't wait to see you on TV soon
I love how you produce content from the basic to the unobtainable while maintaining engagement with the audience. There is a reason for the meteoric rise of your channel! High production values, excellent content and great presenting. I have placed a bet on you reaching 1m subscribers by the end of 2021. No pressure, just keep doing what you're doing. Thank you 😊
Still thé most bespoke vehicle out there. With your soothing voice Johnny, another amazing presentation about this gem of a vehicle.
"This is in me downstairs toilet"
A sentence that's never been spoken in a Rolls before.
Can these videos get any better? Jonny that was amazing and really captured the spirit of a truly special car. Thank you for doing what you do.
I love your channel jonny, whether it's a Rolls Royce or Citroen ami or Allegro you are always just as enthusiastic and you always give us the " full works tour." Fantastic.

Looking at the thumbnail I thought this was a rover 75 until I read the title 😂
The rover 75 coupe prototype only a few ever built. Looks very like that car, except a 4 door of course. :-)
😂👏
Amazing professional job as always. Keep up the good work. Thank you for the sparkle in such dark times 😁👍
For info this car is aimed at the kind of people who profit from recessions.
Grafters
@@garybills710 Edit: 'Grifters' - There, fixed it for you.
Undertakers?????? 😕
@@curmudgeon1933if you like.
Rolls Royce should supply a rolls Royce coffe cup to match the interior.
I'd be surprised if they don't already, along with a luggage range etc - all for a 'reasonable' price of course. 😋
The rear of the car looks like an old Rover, a 75 I believe
The door lock pop up buttons and the indicator/wiper stalks look like Rover 75!
The interior wood looks like something from a 1970s G-Plan coffee table.
Brilliant review. Been persuaded to turn on notifications for the late Brake, no other channel has made me do that. Keep up the good work! Bravo.
What a lovely way to spend 25 minutes, nice one Jonny 👍🏻
Fantastic as usual. I’ve always thought that a rolls wouldn’t be for me, even if I had the money. Watching that has made me rethink that. It’s an event being in one.
Beautifully made, detailed and very interesting, thats a Late Brake Show review ;)
Another great video to make my lunchtime more enjoyable! What a machine and the engineering on show is world-leading. Thanks Jonny.

Or what about...
Johnny Smith

Johnny Vaughan
Or is that one Johnny too many?
Ooooo, luverly... I ate many Jaffa Cakes while watching this, to give myself an appropriate sense of luxury and occasion..
I bet the Jimny feels a bit, err, prol' after driving this Ghost around.
Is this a paid promotion?
I think we should be told 🤣
I came for a quick look,but stayed to the end.Understated oppulance outside,luxury tradition & tech inside.Another top review,Jonny.
Reminded me of a rover 75 from the rear 🧐
What a great review. A Rover 75 rear with i3 doors and Asimo driving seats.
Excellent Jonny, shame your parents never got the opportunity in New Ghost. New format is superb pal, really appreciate your work and attention to the detail, The Car Pervert never far away ❤️
That was excellent! Massively informative and entertaining. Another great review, Jonny!
Digital gauges in a Rolls Royce seems like a mistake. I know it's the done thing right now but they wont be as timeless as some well made analogue gauges and seem a bit cheap to me.

Enjoyed this, interesting and creative presentation. Calm, relaxed, smart, a complete contrast to the usual frenetic, shouty tv car content.
Well said sir.
I might be able to afford an umbrella that would be it 😂😂
Jonny this is the BEST car channel on any platform Inc. terrestrial sat stream TV, really well done mate
Steve, you are too kind. It isn't true, but thanks all the same!

Great Delivery, crisp & clear!! Many Thanks, Peace From London. 👍👍

Missed cuff links opportunity Jonny. Fabulous car, Stamford gorgeous, as usual, great video, as usual.
I am surprised that you have a paper coffee cup in the cup holder - I would have thought that there are sculpted to fit a cup and saucer!
It is a bamboo cup!
I really appreciated the shot over the bonnet with the Christmas lights reflecting in it.
Noisiest thing about the driving experience seems to be the drivers hands sliding on the steering wheel....surely they could’ve made the wheel covering out of a quieter material 😂
Happy new year Jonny and the Smith family from Australia. Eagerly await more late braking and Smith&sniff podcasts / adventures
Thanks mate. A positive 2021 to you. New Smith & Sniff arrives this Monday.

Couldn’t of picked a better location. The Rolls belongs in a place like Stamford, etc... Great video good sir !
I'm pretty sure I'd plough into the back of a lorry due to looking for shooting stars in the headlining.
It’s all very Capitalist Hancock and Cummings. We are told to sell our cars to save the planet while the elite drive around in 6.5l v12 twin turbo Rolls.
Good journalism and beautiful car.
Super luxury and style - probably the closest I’ll ever get to one of these cars !!!!
Great video 👌🏻
Loved this review. Just a nice relaxed format. Informative and entertaining in equal measure.
Looks like a Rover 75 from the back. Which is not a bad thing. Class.🐩
True - reminiscent of my old Mk2 Mondeo hatch i thought when following..
Beautifully done. Excellent work Sir. 👌
I'm imagining a Jigglypuff (pokemon) singing Rolls Royce softly to the occupants so they're relaxed when they talk about one tone.
So proud of you Johnny! Really plowing up on RUclips
Many thanks Rai. Really glad you are enjoying the channel.
