In today's new Smith and Sniff, someone crashes their famous brother's Ferrari and someone else has bought a boat. The title probably reveals the answer to the second part. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Such sad news about Quentin. He was so supportive in my early career, I owe him more than I can ever say. Unique, brilliant and knowledgeable on camera, funny, generous and unfailingly excellent company off it. Go well Q.

Earlier I linked to today's Smith and Sniff OTOSOT which I hijacked to plug my new book, but failed to add a link to the book itself. This is why a marketing person at a publisher once said to me, 'You're not very good at promo, are you?' amzn.eu/d/38q2q6b

Jonny is away and we forgot to record a Smith and Sniff OTOSOT before he went so I’ve hijacked today’s show and used it to read out extracts from my new book. Contains several euphemisms for testicles. Sorry. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

The Late Brake vid in which Jonny and I review the new Prelude is kicking off in the comments. People seem annoyed that it's not a VTEC screamer with 250bhp and a manual 'box. But the Prelude has never been that kind of car. Link in case you missed it... youtu.be/H-NxEyTI0X4?...

The international hit version of West End Girls by #PetShopBoys was released 40 years ago today, Mon 28 Oct 1985. It launched their chart career, going to #1 in the UK and USA.
My new book, #IntoTheGroove, the history of 1980s pop, has plenty on its origin and background, and it’s OUT NOW.
