By now you're probably all aware that Gavin and Stacey is returning for a Christmas special later this year.
It's been almost a decade since Gavin, Stacey, Smithy, Nessa and the rest have been on our screens so we can all expect the characters to have been through some changes - Smithy's car, on the other hand, looks pretty much the same.
The blue Volvo - which featured throughout the series - now belongs to David Webb and his family, who use it as a 'run-around'. The car still has the original number plate and also has Smithy's sign on the back window.

Forty-seven-year-old David found the car on a classic car website in July last year - and being a fan of the show, he snapped it up.
David said: "We have Nessa and Smithy masks and sometimes at the traffic lights I stick one on and people are laughing.
"It is my main car. I drive it to work, to the supermarket, to the tip... everywhere.
"Every time I go out, I come back to the car and somebody will be taking a photo of it or people will be videoing the car as we're driving along.

"It's not as famous as Del Boy's three-wheeler van but it is something fun and the kids love it.
"We needed another car to help us move house and I was looking for an old 1970s Volvo.
"They have not even changed the number plate - if you look, it is the same one that was used in the show."
Wife Anna, 41, was shocked when she saw David pull up in Smithy's motor for the first time, but now the pair love going out and about in it and have even taken a trip to Barry Island, South Wales, where the show is filmed.

"My partner's reaction was, 'What the heck is that?'" David said.
"I suppose a Volvo with 'Smithy' on the side of it and a big pole on top is not ideal.
"We took the car to Barry Island for the May bank holiday. Driving down there on the M4, people were pulling up and putting their thumbs up or taking videos of the car.
"When we arrived, everyone thought we were part of the show and that we were the extras so we had to explain we were just down there on holiday.

"We sat outside Stacey's house and people took photos with the car.
"We couldn't believe how popular the show is ten years after it was filmed."
David was made up when he heard the show was coming back and has already tweeted Smithy actor James Corden to see if he wants to use the Volvo in the new episode.
He added: "It is brilliant that they are doing another series and we would be more than happy for them to use the car. It would be fantastic.

"I have tweeted James Corden about the car, but I haven't heard anything yet."
The Volvo still has the Smithy's sign on the back window which reads, 'if your husband won't do it - I will'. Naturally, it gets lots of attention from passing motorists.
David added: "I think it's important to keep Smithy how it was on the show and not change too much about its appearance."
