He's written for some of the best magazines in the business, driven the best cars, and can drift just about anything. We discuss the fun between the new cast members, what stunts frighten him, which is the best Ferrari ever, why Huayras are great, and hear the story of his cheap-turned-expensive 996 Porsche.

imagine the world where Jethro and Chris Harris hosted Top Gear together .... if only
And Henry Catchpole. That's the dream team.
@@JasonWaterfalls13 them 3 plus the stig would actually be legit at a 24hr race challenge.
Drivers republic
@@JasonWaterfalls13 Or Jason Camisa as the lunatic nerd. Still a dream team
Don't forget Steve Sutcliffe and Dickie Meaden
Jethro is and always will be one of my favorite journalists. I'm not sure what stands out about him but I could just listen to him for hours and hours.
On the topic of engineers traveling to awesome places to test cars: can confirm this is a real thing. I worked in chassis development and vehicle dynamics for an OEM for years and the “test plans” often look more like a vacation itinerary than a set of validation tests.
I can listen to Jethro talk about cars all day
For the m5 question with the most different engines. The answer is the vw phaeton.
In 1 generation it had heaps of engine choices.
1.v6
2.v8
3. V10
4. W12
great convo. Really excited to see Jethro's 996 when its finished
I loved this episode. I also wish there was a tv show with this full crew.
Thanks for answering my question! I'm looking at a 2015 m6 gran coupe now which is much more reasonable than the f90 price-wise imo and looks better than the f10 m5.
PS I haven't owned a Gallardo, but I plan on buying one eventually!
Good choice. I actually own a 2015 M6 Gran Coupe with a manual & love it. Its sporty enough to have fun with & yet still has enough room for 4 adults with luggage. The F90 M5 is deff faster & the AWD makes it even a better daily driver. But it doesn't have the exotic looks of the F06 M6.
Here with you. The 996 is my favorite 911 generation by far. It's just an awesome car and I've always loved them
The guy who jumped the first Trex is Streetspeed717 and is located in Pennsylvania.
Jethro's drive review of the 812 superfast was epic. Check it out online. Legend.
Always enjoy the episodes with Jethro and now he's a TG host! Good show
Also Jethro and Harris are top notch.and the new Top Gear is so much better then the first few seasons after Jeremy and them left.
As cool as his 996 Frankenstein project sounds, he's essentially building a 997.2 Carrera GTS.
fun fact: someone with en e36 in japan swapped in an s2000 motor on best motoring
I want grand tour to be better than it is
On this episode, Mr. Falafel talks to Mr. Bovine
Lmao the cross over
Damn.. SteetSpeed717 just became a Florida man.. and confused for Cleetus... guess he's winning
Pretty weird that Matt pretended to not know who Streetspeed is even though he's got more subs
you're right that elevation makes a track!
What's crazy is the Pagani Huayra is not any faster then a standard Supercar on track. However the Huayra BC has beaten the Senna on a few tracks. That's a massive performance increase and the car is second in look only to the Apollo IE for me. I would take a BC over a Koenigsegg any day except maybe the One:1 cause that car is crazy as well. However I would take a Pista, 765LT, and a TRX over a Huayra any day. Or a SF90 Stradale, Taycan Turbo S and a 3500 Ram Diesel and a enclosed trailer over a Huayra.
I'm not from the US but I'm sure from what I've seen RB's aren't $2500 anymore 😅
I've seen the NA versions of the RB listed for that price. The RB26 TT motor is probably at least double that price though.
There way more. 12-13k
@14:30 Good point
How did Matt and Jonny ruin the Elva for everyone else? I feel like I missed something
You should try to get Cleetus on the show
Jethro looks just like Mr.Robot.
First 5:44 nothing but advertising. Great content
My 996 had the engine go in similar fashion to Tyler Hoovie. I got it for $6000 needing a IMS bearing, RMS and some minor stuff.
I ended up swapping a LS6 into it pretty easily. It wasn't expensive to do myself and could probably be done for under $15k total.
When the German's start talking about synthetic fuel you know the war is over
He's the only thoughtful poet of automotive media because you can trust he can drive a car to its limits against a stopwatch or sideways but doesn't belt out his perceptions staccato in the moment or go overboard comparing it to other cars or referencing automotive history in excess
Have Ron Baugh on here
47:25 shout out to Tradecraft farms official ganja sponsor of the smoking tire
Ever since EVO magazine.
Awesome to have Jethro on.
But I can't understand one thing: That he thinks used cars are expensive in the US. No, they're generally not. The prices he named are the same here in continental Europe; it's just that the prices in the UK are SO low for used cars that it completely distorts his view on prices. If I buy a V10 M5 for 15 or 16k here, ít's gonna have a dead engine. It needs to be easily 30k (and then probably still has a dead engine, because V10 M5).
Just popped onto Dodge's website, lease a Challenger Hellcat Widebody for $565 / month for 36 months. Obscene.
560 is a lot for a junk dodge
Matt Farah with the finest automotive journalist in the world other than Chris Harris
If you have no idea just say it was in Florida. Most times you would be right though.
So it turns out the way to fx TG USA was to get a British host!
Even worse then 999 a month new you can get a used hellcat for 45k.
Capital G
If my question is a "we'll answer later", when is that later?
I think they try to get through their backlog on crew shows
@@xboy4331 Correct. We answered some leftovers today with Spinelli, and we get the rest during crew shows. Which question was yours?
@@TheSmokingTirePodcast about the ND1 vs ND2 miata
100% some performance cars stupidly fast for the road, and the marketing people and engineers 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Jonny is stinky ... he is so awful spewing the marketing Kool aid ... Jethro is a brilliant journalist and calls it straight
6 minutes of adverts. Are you having a laugh?
i love fredie but he’s a cricketer turned comedian. He’s not good with cars! Jethro would’ve been there in place of andrew flintoff
Peak car happend last year....as of Nov 2020, gas 1.85 to 2.00 national average... by 2024 5-6.00 average...thanks Green New Deal

@@TheSmokingTirePodcast hyperinflation across the board is just getting started.
Gas prices really don't have much to do with the president or federal policy as the federal gas tax doesn't fluctuate often. In the US it has more to do with crude oil market value and locality. States and counties impose flat tax rates on gasoline independent of the federal tax which is why CA and specifically LA has some of the highest gas prices in the US.
@@ky1le750 Shift-Z edited his comment, which blamed the president for gas prices.
@@zackklapman3569 I was trying add on to information from the article you linked which was good and essentially said that the president doesn't really influence gas prices at all which I agree with.
