- Jonny and Richard have an ingenious business idea and Jess Glynne is sure to be interested. Also, you won't believe how much a Maybach costs these days, even if Theo Paphitis has been doing smelly business in the back of it. Episode 97.

Looking forward to this 👍🏻
Edit..
I used to work at MB World. Maybach were hundreds of thousands of pounds new. Rear Camera was a £7K option, but standard in a newer B-Class.
Love the channel guys! You have me in stitches just listening to you two prattling on about cars and random stuff. A great antidote to the 'polished' scripted car shows on tv. Keep up the good work 👍
"Smith Industries" might be possibly the most Bond villain corporate shell name ever.
“Fucking NASA!” 💪
DO MORE Auto Trader 'guess the price'
I can't help but think that Porter Industries should have a closed-book operation that employs Wendens Ambo as a contractor for more nefarious aspects of business...
and Anal Conway can be the company accountant
And Business Unterests to deal with other dodgey dealings
And the manager is Anal Conway and he keeps telling people it's pronounced "An-Nal"
Does this mean that all new music is going to have the distinct drone of a Diesel engine in the background.
"I was gonna build a low rider out of it cause they look really good when they're decked" - Cut to the outside view of a Huyndai SantaFe :)
There's a real irony to you talking about working from home in Feb 2020. I was considering the idea of a mobile EV charging truck the other day that you can also live in and do whatever else you want, while parked up in a new place every day providing reasonably priced power for EV drivers. I found a jet turbine that can produce 250kW while apparently only using 0.4g/kWh of fuel - a pair of those, an EV drivetrain and you could be set. Panels on the roof to top up.
19min 50secs, how forward thinking of you.
Thanks - I'll never be able to listen to that song again without that image in my head 🤣
There is an outfit at the London Motorshow that displays these Office vans. They look awesome! I dont know why, but when 'Industries' was mentioned the first thing that sprung to mind was 'Osako chemicals' of the Bond film 'You Only Live Twice'.
VW did a "Business Van" version of the T5 Transporter with what was basically a Phaeton interior in it. Four Captains Chairs in the back.
Strangely enjoyable.
Thanks Sniff Pervert.
"Fu*king nasa!'
Dying. 🤣🤣
I had an office like you speak of but gambled it all in favour of starting my own business and having a small desk in a shared space with great people. I earn more money now. Safe to say I'm also much happier. Nice vid btw
They prefigured the working from home revolution.
Sniff is Sniff Petrol? That's awesome! I check for updates; please, even a Troy Queef article will do.
"Everyone should be working at home" - very prescient, Mr Porter
Porter Industries as a little nameplate on a warehouse door sounds like 60s TV Batman. Batman and Robin would sneak in, round the empty cardboard boxes, and be ambushed by dark clothed henchmen.
I find it hard to imagine the amount of stuff that must have gone down at Fully Charged to get Jonny and Mark to pull up stumps. Jonny seems a very reasonable person who appears very hard to wind up.
@Ross Bourne true I guess.
Here's how unloved the Maybach is. I checked Autotrader as Richard did on the video and thought it odd when he said they're all 2004, then saw there's a 2008 and 2006. This is the exact order I was seeing. Check the URL in the 'trader ads and what do you know, the adverts are from 2017 and 2018 - they're the same bloody cars still for sale in August 2022!
And how much now? £45k for a 2003 private sale and £55k for a 2004 if you want some kind of trade warranty - and you really do want a warranty on one of these.
Good Zorin reference.
Hot desk come from hot bunking where sailors would share a bunk mostly on submarines. One would be sleeping while the other was standing watch.
Did you live in/near Stamford when you had your Sud Jonny? My mum put one into a tree at speed in Colsterworth, bodged it with 5kg of P38 and flogged it to a young lad locally
Just heard Jess Glynne on the radio. There was only one thing that i could picture her doing... Thanks guys
OMG actual tears came from my eyes when you quoted at the end of the video, "Darling hold my hand! - Jess Glynn sh*tting at the end of the pier".
On another note, Smith and Sniff Van/Lounge/Recording Studio/VLOG stage/Guest Studio MUST happen. That would be Amazzzzzzzing!
This has to be the best car show on the planet!
7:36 The Alfasud estate was called "Giardinetta". Back then that's the name Italians used for wagons. Now, thankfully, we simply call them wagons :)
I'm watching this, slowly realizing that I am also a medical student. I'm out of toilet paper. My toilet seat is beyond repair. What is this black magic fuckery? Why is my life turning into a Smith & Sniff episode? This is a bad omen...
These episodes are so good
its a lovely thing, to work in my Viano on my work laptop somewhere nice. Breaks up the working from home. It might be a west country thing, but most of my mates have Vans after years of many cars of all types and ranges, but Van specs are seriously good these days most are top range spec if you get the domestic multi-seat versions
I think a company with "industries" in the name always feels a bit a bit evil to me because you know they have big machines and lots of engineers and can make powerful stuff; However, high-sided blacked-out sprinters with conference facilities owed by an "industry" is seriously making me think Knight Industries (maybe add a some red LEDs to that black sprinter!).
I lived in a student house very similar to the one described. We ran out of plates two weeks after moving in because somebody would throw theirs into the back garden instead of washing them. Had to wear shoes at all times because we played football in the hall and kept breaking the lightbulbs. There were eleven tenants at one point. We used to wash the kitchen floor and surfaces with a pressure washer once a month
I stopped using the toilet in a student house for similar reasons.
Had to plan all bowel movements around being somewhere near a lecture theatre.
I also had a single plate, bowl, cup, knife, fork and pan that I used for everything because I got so fed up of doing everyone else's washing up. Not one of the better years of my life.
Some friends in a different house worked out it was cheaper to go to the pub than pay to heat their house.
The Audi Q7 V12 TDI had timber decking in the boot.
Bless !
I had a Alfusud Tii and just shouted BS at your Alfasud Estate mention. But then found out it's true. Thank you for this public information information. Not often that you can compare a Sud with an Agro. Also your business could be called Voffice Industries. vi has numerous connotations.
The Allegro looked like a turtle with a prescription for square NHS glasses.
The new InterCity buses that run from Norwich to Peterborough have wood flooring, no marble in the ceiling though
Absolutely!
VERY HIGH SPEC!........... lol i just love the simple stuff
There's a small factory on the outskirts of a town near where my parents live in SW France that looks like some kind of French CIA headquarters, but actually they make Jam.
....or do they?
VanSpace the mobile office for today's modern business person
Allegro estates are very practical for their size
I just hired a Merc Sprinter from Enterprise and it was really comfortable and really fast. It got up to 100 mph no problem and it was fucking huge. I got about 30 mpg as well.
W140 quality is better than the newer stuff!
Unfortunately, the Maybach only used shitty old W140 electricals, the engines were still M137s instead of M120s.
Is the apple charger an extra on this model 0:48 .?
Geniuses.....
Business space in a van could be called desk decker. Even better in a German accent👍🏻⚓️🍺
Deskvan Industries Ltd. but using the new electric Mercedes EQV vans with Maybach badges from eBay on them.
JS Industries sounds like some old tat sold on QVC
Richard should go into business making potties.
Schitt Industries, with a fleet of mobile outhouses....

I worked in a warehouse many years ago and was sacked for regularly claiming 'I was working from home'.
Is my right eye broken? Johnny always seems to look like he is in lower resolution. It's messing with my mind
I know what you mean, but I think it's their faces. Richard has a more naturally high definition face. I've had 2 glasses of red wine but I think that makes sense.
The upwardly mobile of Aberdeen drive VW t5 crew cabs or caravelles.
Pimp’d Sooty Van.
That Maybach is now at £31k!
Not Hot Desking but Agile Working , how about The Voffice 👍🏻
JS Industries buying the EQV?
Gordon Keebler was a sports car

How about kitting out a van for your pod casts? When it comes to guests with a busy schedule, no problem, you can go to them. Even park outside their house overnight and sleep in the van where distance could’ve been an issue. Even drive around while podcasting? Knock them up if they’re late? The possibilities are endless.
I genuinely think there would be a market for a mobile podcasting studio.
Beats listening or watching people sat at desks with microphones. Add traffic, speed humps and bends throughout the conversation and it would be a podcast like no other. Plus certain cars spotted whilst the podcast is taking place could determine where the conversation goes. Are Mobile podcast studios the way forward I wonder? At certain car related events and shows, they could even do a live podcast with an audience. Park in a suitable spot, add guest, open side door, hey presto! Also, help fund this exciting venture by offering sponsors a panel on the van for advertising, big money gets a side panel or back doors, those looking to get in on the action at a low price get the petrol flap. Hopefully they’ll read this and think this could work.
The Belgian French-language television company runs a show called "Hep Taxi!" in which stars are interviewed as they are being driven around Brussels. The driver is a well-known interviewer. Small and poor as the company is, they upgraded to a Tesla (the one with the gullwing doors) when they broke the Toyota. Always wanted to see if Paxman could drive while obstreperously interviewing someone...
"Everyone should be working at home"
Give it a couple of months chaps...

Van der graft (Generator)?
VAN-TRADEN
I'm hot for Transit.
Just looked at some photos of the Alfasud Gardiniera and unbelieveable as it may seem, the Allegro estate is way better looking!

Off grid offices. Off grid living is hot right now this could be the next thing
Isuzu already do a truck called the Grafter
Work in Transit INDUSTRIES surely.
Porter Industries: retrofitting poorly designed car design features. 1)square wheel arches - about to do their Hyundai. 2)disco off-set rear plate. Etc etc
RUclips video editing Van?
Van More & Son
With you on the Allegro estate.. much better
Name for your mobile recording studio .. van-der graff generator .. ( no-one under 40 will get that one )
Is that a reference to a Focus album? I'm sixteen so I'm just guessing

How many jumped on Google @ 7.50 to find out what the Alfa Sud looked like. Bit of a disappointment though.
You wouldn't get a transit of the last 20 years because there shit, haven't seen a tdci through to the new hybrids last more than a few hundred hard hours
Didn't Theo call the colour of his beige maybach Jewish racing gold... as told to Peter Jones
Instead of office, how about vanice.
Way behind the game guys check out vanlife

I prefer your vids; when you actually drove cars and discussed them rather than watching you eating lunch and talking about “ the good old days”!
Colin Prince weirdo everyone else prefers them talking bolocks once they’ve reviewed the car
Well pay them£ 3"000 each and supply them with your car of choice,and for 2 hours they can do a vlog in 8 parts just for you.
Me ,Ian happy watching them in any situation for free.
THE GREATEST VAN EVER 2 egotistical bafoons bodge it and leg it all about them nothing about a van at all they drive round london looking for classic cars but all we see is nothing just these 2 talking nonsense self reconition
Zzzzzzz boring
