    The snoring dog

    Jonny and Richard are sitting by a Christmas tree with Richard’s noisy mutt discussing once, twice, thrice a lady, wanting a Honda Beat, Tonys of the gearboxes, not closing important doors, Home Alone, where Jude Law goes wrong in The Holiday, the seriousness of Daniel Craig, Bond film titles in German, a hand-painted Hijet, Jonny’s 2CV, getting to an age when you happily spend money on suspension, the end of the Super Cub 50, and a Metro-shaped Christmas present.

    Live from the MINI factory
