Sniff Petrol is a motoring satire online magazine [1], first published in 2001 [2], although it purports to be over 100 years old [3]. It is published online on an approximately monthly basis and is free of charge.
Sniff Petrol has run several multi-issue campaigns throughout its history:
Sniff Petrol launched on Twitter in April 2009 [11]> It covers much the same content as the magazine, with the addition of death-defying mini-cab rides. Sniff Petrol's twitter feed came 17th in the Shorty Humour Awards [12] and came first place in the "Sweaty Grunting" category [13].
Sniff Petrol is best known for its spoof car adverts, "Not Advertisements" which have frequently circulated the internet in e-mails and on various websites. Sniff Petrol's spoof adverts have even featured in BBC's Top Gear [14] [15].
Some of Sniff Petrol's content has been published, for example, their MG Rover series of spoof advertisements were turned in to a charity calendar [16]
The magazine has also been mentioned in national newspapers such as the Irish Times [17] and Britain's The Times [18].
Richard Porter, who uses pseudonym "Sniff" throughout the magazine, is script editor for BBC's Top Gear [19] and has also written for Top Gear Magazine and Evo. Well-known in the UK motoring press, he's also a regular on the Gareth Jones on Speed podcast [20]. Porter has also authored or co-authored several motoring books [21] [22], frequently with Giles Chapman [23] [24].
Other contributors write for the magazine from time to time, notably including celebrities such as Top Gear's James May [25]
