Welcome to Best in Class, the podcast where we talk about the best versions of the best
cars.
We are hot from World Cup excitement.
I'm here with my two biggest footballer fans, Andrew and Veronica.
How's it going?
Pretty good.
Very well.
Very well.
Yeah.
And you both watched a piece of the World Cup, apparently?
The only piece that mattered.
Yeah, the end.
Yeah.
The end.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's right.
Nice.
Nice.
I watched the first half.
We were talking about this before we started, but I watched the first half on Telemundo.
It was very, very high energy and it took me way too long to realize, hey, gee, they're
not speaking in English.
Just as good though.
Now, for the listeners at home, unfortunately, we do not have video, but Veronica and I are
treated to an amazing mustache on Andrew.
It's really something.
You are very welcome.
He has shaved his beard.
At first I thought it was just like a filter, but it does indeed appear to be real.
And yeah.
Yeah.
And he's doing something very uncomfortable with it right now.
Yeah.
Hey, I'm pulling on it.
It's real.
It's not fake.
Anybody doing anything else fun since I saw you?
You want to share with the group?
I was in Utah.
I was in Idaho for a few days, actually.
Oh, is that a thing you go normally?
No, it's the first time I've ever been.
I went to Lake Ponderay, which is about an hour and a half away from Spokane or Spokane.
I'm not sure.
Spokane.
Spokane.
Spokane.
All right.
That mustache.
The mustache knows.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Saw some really cool cars.
I've been, I was posting them up to my stories on my Instagram handle, Verne's 73 Scout.
Anyway, sorry, I know, I plugged, Steve was giving me the look.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
No, but it was gorgeous.
I'd never been to a lake before.
I got on a speedboat, which was super fun.
I swam in the lake.
I mean, I did like real Americana stuff.
You had never been to a lake before?
Well, I don't count like June Lake outside of Mammoth as, you know, and I mean, I know
I've been to Tahoe, but I haven't been inside the lake.
I've never like put the body to water.
So did you have friends up there with a boat that you were visiting or?
Yeah.
A friend of mine's family have a, you know, a vacation home there and she's been wanting
me to come for years and I finally was able to do it.
And wow, that's a real nice place to have a vacation home.
You do some Idaho living?
What kind of things would that be?
It sounds like the lake life.
Yeah, the lake life.
Well, the boating, the swimming in the water, the kayaking and then I wasn't willing to do
like tubing.
Is that what it's called?
That's the best part of it.
Come on.
I gotta say, Andrew, when you're an older gal and you got, you know, bad bones, you got
to be careful.
I can't argue with that, I guess.
Yeah.
But we did throw a couple pool noodles into the water and I did float around.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
Okay.
What would you get into, Andrew?
I didn't do much.
You know, I was kind of organising my garage.
Not that interesting looking for parts and, you know.
The one you work in, not the one at your home.
No, the one at my home.
Oh.
Yeah, my personal garage.
Oh.
Because that tends to get neglected because I have my garage every day that I have to
keep clean.
We're going to need a photo of your home garage.
I'm very curious.
It's just full of Porsche parts and boxes.
Okay.
There's a lot of here.
No.
Is it like carpeted walls or what is it?
No, it's just a plain white three car garage.
Okay.
I'll tell you, the two door garage is powered, the one single garage door, not powered.
Very interesting stuff.
Very interesting stuff.
It sounds fascinating.
Why would you ask if it's carpeted walls?
Is that a thing?
I would do it.
Yeah.
Really?
For sound?
I'd go with that mustache.
Like he's got to have pretty interesting garage.
It'd be orange.
Orange carpeting.
Yeah.
Orange carpeting.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
We're really painting a picture, aren't we?
Yeah.
Well, and then you got to think like the lower half of the wall would actually be wood paneled.
Oh, of course it would.
And the upper half would be orange shag carpeting.
Of course it would.
Yes.
Yes.
With some maybe orange yellow lighting.
Oh, yeah.
And a lot of beer signs.
A lot of beer signs.
Yeah.
Neon tables.
Do you have any neon signs in your garage?
No.
No.
Any posters?
I have a Dodge Viper poster.
Okay.
There you go.
Yeah.
First gen Dodge Viper.
I know that's up there.
A couple others that I can't recall.
Andrew, when is your birthday?
April.
April.
Okay.
April.
All right.
Keep that in mind.
Steve, what about you?
September.
Ooh, coming up.
I mean, sort of.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
It's July.
So, yes, it is coming up.
Yeah.
All right.
Hey, thanks for asking.
Mine's in August.
Okay.
Well, we knew when yours was.
Well, how do you know?
Huh?
How did you know that?
Because we talked about it last time.
Huh?
I don't remember that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I listen.
Okay.
All right.
Speaking now.
So, I watched World Cup all weekend.
That's all I did.
So, nothing.
And it's been very hot.
So, I like to stay inside when it's hot.
Did you watch it amongst friends or did you do that just with Steve?
I watched the England game on Saturday, which was the third place, which was amazing with
friends.
And then I cared less about the final.
I just wanted Argentina to lose, so.
Oh.
Yeah.
So much malice.
No.
Okay.
You got to pick a side.
You don't want the good guys to win.
Well, the good guys didn't win in your view, right?
Well, yeah, technically.
England didn't win.
But yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm okay with Spain.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Anyway.
So, with all the soccer slash football excitement, I thought that we could play a little game
where we're going to go back in time since we love our nostalgia, which we did so well
on last time.
And I want you guys to go back to 1982, which is when.
Happily.
The country called Italy won.
Forza Italia.
Mm hmm.
Mm hmm.
And imagine you were on that team and you won your championship world champion.
You've got your bonus.
Huge amounts of money.
It's 1982 and you have to fill your two-car garage because you're going to buy a car after
this or two or three or four.
But we only did two because last time we got a little crazy.
Two is going to work.
Two is going to be great.
Now, since Andrew wasn't alive at this time, I wanted to kind of bring in a little bit
of research, right?
So, Andrew, so you can get a feel for what 1982 was.
It's considered the greatest year in pop culture.
Is it really?
It is.
I mean, in America, I mean, obviously globally because we only think about ourselves, but
globally, maybe not.
But in 1982, these are the some of the things that happen, movie and music wise.
Movies, we had ET.
Have you ever seen ET, Andrew?
Yes, I have.
I have seen ET.
All right.
We had Tron, Fast Times of Ridgemont High, and Poltergeist.
Whoa, I did not ever see Poltergeist.
No, too scary.
Too scary.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
We also had a little album come out called, or I guess a song called Thriller.
The best.
And the most iconic music video at the time.
Maybe even to this day.
Probably to this day.
Yeah.
Also, 1982, a little bit of technology came out.
You want to guess what it was, Andrew, since you're a tech guy?
The CD.
Yes.
Hey, how about that?
How about that?
Yeah.
I just want to mention, I am holding up a CD player.
You're holding a CD player.
That I literally just bought off of Amazon because a dear friend of mine who's a writer,
I'm not great at reading like big old books, and he wrote a big old book, but he also had
it published on CD.
So I bought a portable disc man so that I could listen to his book.
When did he write it?
In 1982.
No, I'm kidding.
But where did he get CDs?
It's a great question.
And I will ask and report back as to why in the world they chose to do that and not an
audiobook.
Have they heard of flash drives?
Actually, I do think that they did flash drives as well.
But I thought, you know, it'd be kind of fun to do it on a CD.
How many CDs are there?
13.
13 CDs.
That's correct.
Wow.
That's correct.
A little plug for author Sam Wasson.
Okay.
And the book is called Improv Nation.
It's the history of improv.
Okay.
Wow.
CDs.
Can I ask what the publishing house is?
Is it not a cell phone?
One moment, please.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'll tell you, my grandma, I remember vividly, she used to have a bunch of audiobooks
on CDs.
Yeah.
No, she had the leather, the leather like booklet that you just shove them in.
There's a nice cover and everything on that.
I don't know.
I can't see it.
It's Highbridge, a division of recorded books.
It's 15 and a half hours on 13 CDs.
And it was published in 2017.
Oh, okay.
So, I mean, were we still audiobook?
I mean, what's audiobooks weren't as much of a thing?
So, I mean, he might've got in the last CD collection of...
It's possible.
Yeah, it's pretty fun.
Yeah, no Spotify audiobooks in 2017.
I wonder what the last book to go on CDs was.
Ooh.
I feel like he's got to be close.
Ooh, he could be winning an award today.
Maybe he's winning the boot.
Yeah.
Also, the Commodore 64 was released.
You probably don't know what that is, Andrew, but that was a big deal.
And I'm going to run through some TV for you, Andrew.
Here is like a hit list of 1982.
Cheers, family ties, night writer, and the beginning of David Letterman.
Wow.
First year.
This is the first year of David Letterman was 1982.
Wow.
Very cool.
Yeah.
So, you've got that.
You've also got the follow-up to Pac-Man.
Miss Pac-Man.
Miss Pac-Man.
She was the best.
Apparently, that was the better game of the pair.
100%.
Yeah.
Yeah, supposedly.
She had this cute little bow.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
A loaf of bread.
You want to guess what the cost was, Andrew?
A dollar.
50 cents.
Even cheaper.
How about that?
Yeah.
Man.
I don't know what gas was.
I should have looked that up.
That would probably just make me sad.
Yeah.
Average rent in America?
$320.
Now, that makes me sad.
Geez.
What are they doing to us?
Yeah.
So, if that doesn't, you know, imagine what you could have got when you just won, I don't
know how much money they made back then as a World Cup footballer, but with 50 cent
bread, a lot of bread.
So much bread.
Yeah.
So much bread.
So much bread.
I know I said cars in 1982, but you could also have gotten one, whatever is available
in 1982, because so it could have been from the 70s.
It could have been from whenever, whatever you would buy as a winner.
I did look up the best cars of 1982, which is also a pretty impressive hit list of what
we're talking about.
Do you guys have any idea what might be on this list?
No clue.
I mean, it's got to be the Kuntosh, the 928s.
Maybe not the second one.
We got a Kuntosh upgrade in 1982.
We've got a Lancia.
Is it Lancia?
Lancia.
Lancia.
037.
We've got our beloved Ferrari 308.
I mean, this is like peak automobiles.
Yeah, it is.
We've got a Lamborghini Joppa.
You've got the Ford Mustang GT, which is a bit of a rough year for them to be honest.
But the thing is to say, music, cheap bread, great cars, early 80s was a great time to
win a championship.
And let me tell you clearly, the cars that you just said, with the exception of the Ford.
Yeah.
What is there in common?
All Italian.
They're all Italian.
Yeah.
No surprise there.
No, no.
So I know you guys might not be super, super deep into your, I'm going to say footballer
knowledge.
Actually, I'm a little bit, you know, I'm aware.
I'm semi aware.
I know nothing.
A couple of those footballers and their car collections.
And these are current ones.
So that'll be, get us into our chapters.
So a little messy.
Our little guy from Argentina.
He's got a 1957 335 Spider Skagaletti that's costs about 35 million.
That's just one of his cars.
He's got a Zonda Gran Turismo, Maserati, MC Stradale.
So he's spending about 50 million or so on his car collection.
That ain't nothing.
No, no.
Yeah.
Ronaldo, not too far behind, 25 million loves his Bugatti's.
He's got the, I'm going to show you Ron.
He's got a McLaren Senna.
Ferrari's, I mean, so over 30 cars.
How many of you guys do two?
He's a Bugatti hottie.
What are you going to say?
That was, that wasn't that.
I had to do it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, this next guy, I didn't know.
I'm going to say his name wrong, but I'm going to, I'm going to skip him and go to
name our junior.
He, his name is Karim.
That's how you pronounce it.
Is that how you pronounce that?
That is.
How do you say his last name though?
Benzema.
Okay.
Okay.
Are we sure?
Pretty sure.
Yeah.
I know an Italian main man named Karim.
Okay.
All right.
I don't know if this guy's Italian, but.
Well, I've just decided.
Yeah.
What, what, what team does he play for?
Do we know?
I think he's French.
Oh.
Interesante.
Go on.
Okay.
So he's, he's, he's got a bunch of Lamborghinis, Mercedes, Rolls Royce, Bugatti's.
So, um, of course, Bex, little, you know, David Beckham, plenty of Rolls Royces, Bentley's,
Aston's, uh, and, uh, a World Cup favorite this year, Erling, Holland, our Norwegian,
Norwegian strikers got an AMG one Mercedes AMG one.
Pretty cool.
Some Aston's, Ferraris, Rolls Royce.
So a little bit of everything.
Yeah.
I have to say, I don't even know if I know what an AMG one is.
I need to Google this right now.
It is.
Andrew, you know, an AMG one.
Uh, you can think of it as like an F one formula one car for the road, or at least their marketing
would like you to think that.
Oh yeah.
I see it now.
Yeah.
What's that set us back, Andrew?
How much does that cost us?
Oh, I don't know how much an AMG one is.
Is that a $5 million car?
I feel like it might be a little bit more, like 10.
I mean, it's really beautiful.
Oh, no, I take that back.
When it was new, it was only about $3 million and you get one for about $4 million.
What a bargain.
I don't know.
It's a push button though, isn't it?
As opposed to a stick shift?
As opposed to a put a key in a hole.
I think it's a hybrid.
Yeah.
I think it's even a hybrid.
Yeah.
What does that, what does that mean?
A half a key?
Well, it's got a, it's got electric.
Electric assist.
Oh, I see what you mean.
A lot of buttons, yeah.
Can I just say, just as an addition to my trip to Idaho, I had to borrow my friend's
car and I do not have a push button start car, obviously.
I get into this car and I can't figure out how to turn it on.
And I started laughing as I thought, this is, this is what America or the world is doing
now is they just push a button and then it turns on.
It's such a strange concept for me.
Anyway, that's all I had to say.
I rented, I was on a trip to Texas and I rented a, I think it was a Hyundai, Hyundai, I don't
know, Sonata, something, something very exotic and it probably took me a good, several minutes.
I'll say to figure out how to get it into drive.
Oh, same.
It wasn't a push button.
It was a turn, like a cube that you turn.
Yes.
And then you pull it back towards you to go into neutral and then again for like it was
not.
It's like, bop it, twist it.
Yeah.
I've got to do that in an emergency.
It just, it was so on that.
It was like paddle shifts.
Was it in the center console?
Cause that's where it was in this Volvo.
No, it was like where the key would be, like on the side of the steering wheel.
Well, that's where I was looking and I couldn't find it out.
And that wasn't how you started the car.
It was just, yeah.
Anyway, I was like, the Volvo was a twist.
Did it have that like gold, that glass twister?
Yeah, exactly.
And I was like, where is this thing?
And I couldn't figure it out.
I had a, I had a car in the shop last week and I get in it and I put the key in the dashboard
and twist just like any car.
And then my buddy walks in and he's like, wow, he's had a push button start.
And I'm like, well, they don't, and he's like, well, I'm looking right at it.
And this, this 2016 Volkswagen Toreg TDI, it has a push button start right next to the
shifter and also a place to insert the key on the dashboard and twist.
So I'm just like, you know, why?
I have no clue.
Really baffling.
I've never seen another Volkswagen like that.
Huh.
They couldn't make a decision.
Yeah.
It's like usually one or the other, but this car, you know, you get both
flagship things, I guess, you know, Torelli.
They call, they call that a twofer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Good to know.
So a little bit of info on the AMG F1.
And we're going to go into this a little bit on a different podcast, but one of these
came up for sale recently used and after 115 miles, guess how much maintenance work
had to be done?
Oh, oh my God.
I don't, Andrew, this is a you question.
I want to say 30 labor hours of work.
Okay.
30 hours less.
Very specific answer.
I like looking for a dollar amount.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Gee, you know, you think labor rate, you know, 30 times 200, probably I'd say, you
know, just give me a number.
What do you think?
$6,000.
Veronica, do you have a guess?
I couldn't tell you.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
I don't know if you said this.
How many of these have been made?
I think 275.
Okay.
Well, then I'm assuming that there's only one place you can send them to get
repaired.
I think it's back to Mercedes, but yeah, I'm not sure.
All right.
Okay.
I'm going to skip.
Go on.
After 115 miles, $44,000.
Andrew, you got to start working on some AMG ones.
Yeah, yeah, terrible, terrible, terrible.
Let's see.
It was 80 hours at $463 an hour.
So there's your hourly.
Wow.
Was that 80 hours?
What are they selling you an F 14 ton cat?
You know, a air filter was $2,200 and the transmission oil filter was $2,200.
So, well, gee, you know, anyway.
So that's probably off your list.
If you win the World Cup, which I would understand.
So I am going to turn it over to one of you two to take me through what you guys
decided to choose for your two cars as elite athletes.
Anyone, anyone who wants to go first?
I always like when Andrew goes first.
Okay, I will go do it.
So I, you know, I kind of just said, I'm winning the World Cup in 1982.
So I'm going to buy two brand new cars, but I'm going to buy two brand new
opposite, very, very polar opposite vehicles.
So the cars I chose a 1982 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, which is, you know,
like the big V8 kind of looks like a Mustang, but not really with the quad cam
V8 6.3 liter.
So they offered it.
It was originally just a 5.3 liter from Aston, but you could have them up
it to 6.3 liters.
So, you know, I'm a World Cup winner.
I want the big.
So that is a convertible or a hard top coupe and the color of the one I found
is a nice dark green, which is just, you know, perfect on an Aston Martin.
And then car number two would be a 1982 Citroen Dushivo Charleston.
And I don't know if you guys like those two shavos, but I think that's
a really good two car solution.
You know, you got the 6.3 liter V8 Aston Martin freeway bruiser.
And then you have the 0.6 liter flat two cylinder with 29 horsepower to
go get some baguettes from the shops and go down to the beach and not have
to worry about parking at all.
You can leave the windows down.
You can leave the roof folded back.
You don't have to worry about anything with those two car solution.
The Citroen Charleston is a really cute car.
It's very sweet.
I would love to see you in one of those, especially now in your stash era.
Well, and I just there's actually one of these in the same.
I found one and it's two tone red and black and that's the Charleston
like special edition sort of deal and it was originally offered as a one
off one year special edition, but people loved it so much that it continued.
I think the first year of it was 1980, but there's a guy in San Francisco
and he lives around like 19th Street and he daily drives this red and black
Dushivo and it's just like, I wish that was me because I can't think
of a better car to drive around San Francisco.
And I'm thinking, OK, so I'm 1982.
I've won the World Cup.
Yeah.
And I think I want to stay in Spain.
Oh, I think you're in Spain now.
I'm sorry, I'm in Spain now.
Oh, OK.
Oh, OK.
So I mean, the World Cup in 82 was played in Madrid.
That's what I thought.
I'm like, I'm going to stay in Spain for the world.
All right.
And have you guys ever heard of Basque Country?
And is that am I pronouncing it the right way?
Basque Country, San Sebastian.
I mean, you won the World Cup.
You can say it however you like.
So specifically, yeah, yeah, like La Concha Beach in San Sebastian.
That's where I'd be.
And La Concha, do you know what Concha means?
I mean, I imagine the shell, the shells.
Yeah, very nice, very nice.
But I just, you know, the the Aston Martin would take me to London,
to Madrid, to Germany, if need be, to Rome, to see the Vatican,
all these beautiful things.
And when I just want a baguette and I want to go down to the beach,
I take that two CV.
That's the perfect two car solution.
Yeah, just you and a and a basket of baguettes.
Well, and did you guys, did you guys see the history behind why Spain
had the 1982 World Cup?
No, do tell.
So it was Spain's kind of, it was a coming out party for Spain
because this was the end of the, you know, political repression
that was going on.
Felipe Gonzalez of the Socialist Party won a sweeping historic landslide
and their whole slogan was poor El Cambio, which means for change.
So it's just like going, I imagine I'm visiting Spain.
Maybe I'm on the Italian team, but I see this excitement and I can
feel this political excitement, this hope for a better world that's
flowing through all the blood of all these Spanish people.
I'm posting up right on that beach, right in La Concha and I'm driving
my two CV around.
I think that'd be just about perfect.
Are you giving out bag baguettes just left and right?
No, I'm just buying them.
I'm eating them all.
Yeah, I'm eating them all.
Loving me some bread.
And the other you've already won.
You don't have to train anymore.
I don't train anymore, but I think what I'll bring to them in return
for them allowing me to live on their soil.
I take a baguette and I'd hollow it out and I'd be like, watch what
happens when I put mac and cheese in this.
Oh, yeah.
That's where you lose me.
No, see, no more no mac and cheese bread bowls for the Italians
or for the Spanish.
That's that's when you get your your license revoked.
Yeah, but is that is that a Spanish delicacy that you found?
And now that's an Andrew Burns delicacy.
That's right.
Have you done that before with a baguette?
You filled it with mac and cheese.
You know, I'm like like put you go to Panera bread and you get
the mac and cheese bread.
Carbs so many carbs.
I love it.
I love it.
Wow, I can feel my that's.
Hey, you know what?
You won the World Cup.
You can do what I want.
Yeah, I just feel like that's a pretty slow car.
You're going to be pretty heavy with all that cheese.
As long as it can fit a couple of bottles of wine, you know,
that's all okay.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
I have some questions, but you can take me through your duo.
Well, I mean, just to add to Andrew's history, the World Cup
in 1982 was played in Madrid, Spain, as we've discussed on
July 11th, which coincidentally as my father's birthday was
his birthday.
Italy did defeat West Germany three to one and and it was a
great year.
We Italy being my country, which is where I would be playing.
Of course, I would be playing for Italy.
That was the the third World Cup championship for Italy by
then and they had just matched up with Brazil because Brazil
had won three as well.
So I think Italy won in 34, 1934, 1938 and then 1982 at that
point.
So the two cars, well, you already named the two cars when
you mentioned the best cars that were released in 1982.
So my two cars, can you guess my first car?
I mean, it's got to be a Coontosh.
It's totally a Coontosh.
I like how you're trying to get Coontosh into every pod that
we have.
I'm not trying.
You're you're providing the opportunity.
That's right.
So Lamborghini Coontosh LP 500 S would be my my sexy vehicle
that I might even drive around once in a while.
Whoa.
Okay.
I got to say I went really deep with the design of what I
was going to do custom customized to this vehicle.
Are you down with like a breakdown?
You you customize the Coontosh?
Well, just from a visual standpoint, you you you change
your most iconic car.
It's looks.
That's right.
I changed it.
I went with I thought this was your favorite car.
This is my favorite car, but I just won the World Cup and I
have to let the people know on the streets that it's me driving
it.
Wow.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm ready.
So the paint is going to be blue Savoia to match the
Azuri, which is the national color of Italy.
I don't know if you know this.
Are you familiar with the fact that we're called the Azuri?
No, I was not.
No, I was not aware Azuri that there's blue in that.
So the Italian national color is not red or yellow.
That's right.
It is it is blue due to the house of Savoy, which the royal
family ruled and unified the kingdom in 1861 to 1946.
And that is the color that we play in the blue jerseys unless
of course we have to play in a white jersey because we're
playing another team that has a blue and there's like the
French to refer to as the blues, right?
And how do you say it?
Are they?
I believe so.
I couldn't tell you their national team, but anyway,
well, you know, well, I don't know how far back that goes and
I don't want to start a fight here on the pod.
So no, no, no, no.
So I would actually have Lamborghini instead of going
with their two blue options that they normally released the
the Lambo and I would ask them to do a blue Savoy since let's
be honest, I'm allowed, right?
I've just one.
No, no, you're yeah, you can have anything you want.
Yeah.
So I do that for the side slats.
I would do the Tricolore, green, white, red faded on the side
of the body.
So it'd start with like a deeper color at the at the vent
and then kind of come out.
Okay.
Yeah.
Uh, for the nose panel, again, Tricolore pinstripe and then
at the center right above the license plate, it would say
Campioni del Mundo 11, you know, July 11th, 1982.
Okay.
So that would be, oh, sorry.
And then continuing on the wheels, I'd keep the OG white
telephone dial 15 inches.
Yeah.
I think that's going to look sexy.
And then with the rear tail panel, because, you know, you
could, if you wanted to have that tail added, I would
definitely have the tail because it's like kind of the wing
you mean the wing.
That's right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Is it called the tail?
Well, I'm Italian.
I can use other words.
So, you know, we're on the back where it has the emblems and
it has the black emblem and says, says, Kuntash.
Yeah.
So right to the right of that, there's a little, a little
empty space and I feel like that's the perfect spot to put
an emblem of the Copa del Mundo, which is, which is the,
you know, the, uh,
yeah, okay.
The trophy.
Okay.
But instead of just an any old, old trophy, I'm definitely
going to have it in 18 karat gold with real Malachite.
I don't even know what Malachite is, but Malachite is a natural
stone.
It's a green.
So if you look at the Copa, it is gold and then it has a
green banding around the base of it.
Oh, okay.
In the color Malachite.
I don't know if for fact it is real Malachite, but it'd be cool
if it was.
I mean, it feels like it should be.
Are you worried someone's going to take that off the back
of your car?
No one's touching my car.
I've just won.
That's the country.
You're like the pope.
You're the pope.
Yeah.
I'm basically, I'm better than the pope.
Come on.
The pope doesn't even play soccer.
You're starting a fight.
Andrew is like too far too far.
Okay.
Okay.
No, no, no, this is, this is points for creativity.
I guess.
Well, I mean, I want to visualize.
You've told me in the past that I need to really get a little
bit more in, in, into my, uh, uh, you know, thinking about things
a little further than just reality.
So I'm trying to really go there.
No, I like, that's true.
That's, you know, that imagination is where I was looking for.
That sounds like me.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then when you get inside the car, we're going to go white interior
because you know how I feel about that.
Yeah.
The upper dash is going to be a blue, a dark blue navy to, you know,
just kind of like tone it down just a little bit.
I might also make the wheel the same color and then the shifter will have
that Malachite that matches the bands of the trophy.
And, um, I'll probably have a badge put on the inside as well.
Kind of similar to the one that I just did on the exterior with the gold
and the Malachite.
And, um, yeah, and that's my plan.
I want it to be subtle, but yet you, you know, it's me.
Do you think that's going to increase the resell value or resell?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why am I reselling this?
Well, you know, athletes lose their money over time.
It happens, you know, eventually.
Yes, but I don't think that will happen for me because I'm also going to
have a lot of brand deals.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cause I'm savvy like that.
I mean, this thing would probably end up back in the Lamborghini
Museum, if anything, because you're already a national hero when you buy it.
That's true.
So, you know, it just, it goes right back into the museum.
That's right.
Yeah.
Maybe it will even end up in the Vatican.
Maybe, maybe they do love their cars.
Does the Vatican is, do they have their own soccer team or do they just
kind of root for Italy?
You know, you know what?
The Vatican is its own city and state.
So it's a really good question.
However, no, I don't think so.
I think that they're too busy praising the Lord.
Praise be and some other stuff.
Yeah.
Well, let's not go there.
Okay.
Rude, rude, rude.
Yeah, rude.
Okay.
What's the second car?
Okay.
The second car is the Lancia Raleigh 037 Stradale, which is super beautiful.
They only made 200 and something of these.
Where is it?
207.
Did you know that?
It's a rally car.
Anyway, that's crazy.
So they all came in Rosso.
They all came in red because they didn't have the time to make these in multiple
colors, but I got to stand out.
You know, I can't, I can't get a red one.
So I'm going to talk to the people that be at Penn and Farina and see if they
would be down to maybe do a green, the green of the flag.
In fact, the green that you've chosen of your vehicle, Andrew, was kind of the
green that I was thinking.
It's a beautiful, like almost like a Jaguar green, but maybe a little bit
lighter than that.
So I'd go with a green.
Then the rear wing was offered in both like red, which was the body of the
vehicle as well as black.
I'd go with the black, but with a little red underbelly.
So it's, you know, just like a little curious and sexy.
The wheels, I'm going to go gold because I think that that's, you know, I'm
the winner.
So I feel like gold is important.
Yeah.
And the badging, same thing.
I'm going to go subtle, but it's going to go there.
The same badge that I had designed for the Lambo.
I'd like to put between the Abarth and the pin and farina emblems that are
stacked right by the door on either side.
Once again, 18 K gold and Malachite.
And then the upholstery, I got to say these cars, even though they're really,
really cool looking with the clamshell, uh, you know, in both the front and
the back, they're such a feat of machinery, but the interior of these cars is
like, I don't know, not very sexy in my opinion.
So I don't know.
I mean, you've seen it, right?
It's kind of like, yeah.
And race car.
Yeah.
It's kind of race car.
And then there's a lot of little red buttons that you push.
I'm not exactly sure what's going on there, but I think it was a homologation
special.
It is.
Okay.
It is.
Um, but what does it have to do with the buttons?
Oh, race car.
It's basically a race car.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's your answer.
Race car.
That's it.
That's all you know, when you're, when you're building a race car, it doesn't
matter how the button feels or looks.
It just got, it's got a button.
Yeah.
I don't do its thing.
What are all the buttons for is my question.
Oh, you know, fuel pump, lights, you know, all those different systems of the
car you just toggle.
It's really fun to do.
All right.
So I'd go in there and I push them all around.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, it's like you're in a jet fighter.
You know, you got to toggle them all on and you turn the key.
See, doesn't that now you understand when you say like a jet fighter exactly
what he's saying.
Okay.
I'll read something you can relate to.
Yeah.
No, is there any fire that pops out of the back?
Oh yeah.
Oh, they definitely got an aggressive tune.
It's rich.
It's rich.
Okay.
That's cool.
All right.
Well, anyway, the seats, I'd go red because you got to think now the body is
green and then you got the red on the inside.
Why back to like the Italian flag.
We're going to have the contrast on the, on the seats is going to be a little bit
of like white stitching and then black seat belts with white stitching.
Once again, you know, very subtle, but sexy.
Malachite shifter because why not?
And that's it.
That's kind of what I'm thinking.
Wow.
Okay.
So two custom very sporty cars.
Thoroughbred Italian hand built vehicles.
Yeah.
You're not cruising anywhere in these.
Well, I'm going to cruise in the Lamborghini because you know, I'm not going to go very
fast.
I'm mostly going to get towed.
Are you, are you taking another person in the Lamborghini?
Yeah.
I mean, maybe I'll bring, I'll bring my husband.
You know, okay.
I'll bring, I'll bring him around.
I mean, he probably won't want to go in it because it'll, you know, be very fast
even though I won't know how to drive it.
But are you, are you worried about having a nothing that's like a luxury per say
sedan or like a with more people?
Oh, no, no, definitely don't need more people.
Also, by the way, you've, you've set this up as we are buying two cars this year
from winning the World Cup.
Are you suggesting I don't already have cars?
Oh, I don't know.
I hadn't.
I mean, that's true.
But I figure, I guess you're just treating yourself.
You're like, I'm a champion.
That's right.
Okay.
I want the high end.
I want that high end luxury vehicle and then I want a Canyon Carver.
Oh, okay.
Right.
All right.
All right.
Um, I'm not giving out baguettes.
Did you want to add any specs or?
I just gotta say the Aston, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage that I'm looking at
with the 6.3 liter big motor.
Yeah, it makes 100 horsepower more than a Countach.
Hey, hey.
Yeah.
So I'm blasting down the freeway way, way faster.
I mean, it's like, I'm seeing like 475 to 500 horsepower from the factory in
that Aston Martin, you know, we're moving.
Well, I'm, I'm going to be in crumpets, you know, TN crumpets down the motorway.
I'm like more of like a, a parade, like I'm going like 20 miles
per hour in the parade.
Oh, a parade car.
Yeah, that's right.
That's my, that's my 2CV.
That's what the 2CV is for.
Okay.
Well, we'll, we'll parade down together.
I think a 2CV and a Countach.
Oh, amazing.
Amazing.
That's pretty rad.
Yeah.
On the Spanish coast.
Does a parade car need to be a convertible though?
No, no, we don't do convertibles.
Well, the Countach, the Countach, you convertibles.
No.
The Countach could just go down the road with the doors open like that.
Oh, true.
True.
Yeah.
It's kind of like, yeah.
That'd be cool.
Yeah.
That's right.
Thank you, Andrew.
Showing off that custom interior.
Yeah.
There you go.
Okay.
All right.
Back to me.
What about you?
Did you, did you choose to as well?
I did.
I did.
And are you, are you West Germany or, oh no, you can't be.
You have to be Italy because you won the, the World Cup.
I was just saying in general, like, I guess, I mean,
you won, but you're just, you're just a world champion footballer.
So I wasn't, I wasn't going to make people choose a nationality.
I figured that was, was too much.
But since you have the Italian bread in you, you were like, oh, so.
Um, I've just won and I thought this through.
Number one, I'm going to be flying on a plane a lot more because
there's going to be a lot of stuff going on.
I'm going to be jet setting.
I'm going to be jet setting.
Okay.
I'm going to be going to, you know, exotic places, meaning exotic
people doing exotic things.
Jeffrey Epstein.
Uh, no, I'm going to say more like Concord, like flying on the Concord.
Maybe, you know, trust the Italians to go there quick.
But they're like, where are the kids?
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
Um, I would do, no.
So, uh, one of my vehicles is a Rolls Royce Silver spur 1982.
Okay.
Right.
Now.
I need that car because that I tried to think of what car do I
want to arrive on the tarmac in when I'm getting on my like supersonic jet?
Supersonic.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, like a, like whatever, whatever they had back then something fast.
I'm not, I could be getting on the Concord.
That's true.
But, you know, something like what's going to pull me up that cause there's
going to be photos taken of me.
There's going to be people with me.
What color?
What color are we?
Are we, are we in here?
I think I'd go silver.
That's amazing.
Silver.
Yeah.
Silver.
So it would roll up.
You know, there'd be a little red carpet, the planes behind it.
I get out.
I would gently wave to everyone because they'd be excited.
They'd be excited to see me.
You know, and I'd get out and, uh, you know, I, I, I may be signed some
autographs, probably not cause it'd be like kids or something.
Yeah.
And who wants to make a kid happy?
Oh, no.
It's the 80s.
Yeah.
No way.
You know what?
They can rewatch the match, right?
Yeah.
No, they actually can't, but that's true.
That's true.
Yeah.
That was it.
They missed it.
Yeah.
So I just imagine I'm getting out.
You know, I probably have some furs on.
It could be hot, but I probably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You like to kill animals.
All right.
Keep on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm out there and killer on the field and off.
You know, that's what I'm doing.
Yeah.
So that's what I need for airport runs.
Also like showing up at the clubs, you know, all the, all the private stuff
like, and, you know, getting it, getting on the yacht.
I don't want something loud.
I don't need to.
Oh yeah.
My game is loud enough.
I don't need all this fire breathing stuff or, or there's
no baguettes.
Yeah.
No, no, no, it's, this is definitely understated.
Yeah.
But I am going to take the interior and I feel like maybe I do like it could
be stripes or like zebra print, like something fun inside.
I feel like you'd be saying it.
You'd be saying it's zebra.
Zebra prince.
You know what I mean?
That's the right say it by the early eighties.
So I want a custom interior and it also upgrade the sound system.
I'd want, I'd want the bet.
I mean, yeah, cause I'd probably just read be replaying the broadcast of
the game where I want just all the time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So this is a very vain move of you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, this is what the people want.
Is it, is it, is it because it sounds like it's what you want?
Actually, well, I mean, I'm a world champion.
People want to see they want to get close.
Right, but not too close.
No, not too close.
No, no, no, no, no.
Just behind the ropes.
You can, sorry.
Did you say you're driving this or you have a driver?
I have a driver.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
That's right.
I remember.
Yeah.
So yeah, I don't want to, I mean, I have to say my legs.
I don't want to be.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So yeah.
So that's, that's my golden, my golden feet.
Okay.
Um, so, but, so that's the car that I'm going to, you know, that's
probably what most of the pictures are going to have me in, right?
But I'm also going to have a hankering to get places fast.
And also I'm going to be big on my heritage, you know, history
of the game, all that kind of stuff.
So, and at the time, these cars weren't that expensive.
And I'm thinking about the future.
What can I turn this investment into?
Because I know the rules isn't going to last.
So I get the one of, let's see, uh, one of 36 Ferrari 250 GTO.
Now, probably thinking that seems like a lot of work.
I thought you're saving your legs, but it's fast.
It's a machine.
Uh, they're all different.
Um, it's a, it's a obviously motorsport car, motorsport legend
like the car.
So I'd have that.
So that would be my two car garage.
I'm not going to customize the Ferrari bit because that's how
it came to the factory.
That's how it should be.
Sorry.
How, how is it coming from the factory?
Uh, silver.
No, I think they were all red.
What do you think?
They did make some white ones.
They didn't make some white ones.
Okay.
Most of them are red.
So you're going to go white or you're going to go red?
I think I'd go red.
Let me ask you this.
Let me ask you this.
Yeah, the three portholes in the hood, would you drive around
with them down for more airflow or up for more, uh, streamline
aesthetic?
How would you have your 250 GTO set up?
I think I'd have it taking in and consuming as much air as I could.
I just want to breathe.
I want to take the light from everything else.
Very nice.
Breathe it all in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, I don't know if they came in other colors, but they might.
Yeah.
There's some white ones or a, there's a silver one.
I think majority of them left them red.
So, um, yeah, you could, you could get them.
I mean, there's only 30 or so.
And so you could get them.
Well, I'm wondering what year, what year did Nick Mason buy his 250?
Was that in the 80s?
Was that back then in the 80s?
You guys would be driving around together?
Who bought it in 1977?
Actually, he bought it in 77 for 3000.
1000 pounds.
Yeah.
35,000 pounds.
Is, sorry.
Is he a race car driver?
By Nick Mason?
Yeah.
He's the drummer for Pink Floyd.
Oh, sure.
They were a band.
Yeah.
Thank you.
You know, like dark, dark side of them, the wall.
Yep.
I, I've heard, I've heard that one before.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Um, I think in 1982 this car would have sent me back like 30 grand and
now it's worth about 30 million or more, or maybe 50, 50.
No, after I've been driving it as a world champion, I think it would go up a
value.
Yeah.
If you, if it didn't blow up.
Maybe.
So I've got some questions for you.
Like we always ask with our car collections.
Yeah.
Who's going to win cars and coffee?
Hello.
Not that we go, not that we go to any of them because we're famous football
owners, but right.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm pretty certain I'm winning.
Which car?
Oh, well, the Lamborghini, of course.
Okay.
I think it's going to be, be tough with my GTO.
I've got a lot of, I mean, people are going to think I'm driving a Mustang
and I put an Aston Martin badge on it.
So I'm going to just get duck out of this one.
No.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Maybe it's a tie.
I feel like the GTO is rare.
Well, okay.
From a rarity standpoint, probably you, but from a like, like, from like a
spec perspective, and yes, I'm not talking about the engine because I don't,
you know, but just from like a looks perspective, I've put a little bit of,
you know, je ne sais up in it.
That's true.
That's true.
You know, I kind of wish that you had done something to your vehicles to be
quite on both of you.
I kind of wish that you had done like, like something to let the people know.
Well, I have a custom picnic, picnic basket for my two CV.
I was actually designing a custom picnic basket.
It was able to, it's able to hold four baggettes, but also two bottles of wine,
but you can also stack plates, utensils.
I had a whole thing going and I was like, this is for a podcast.
Why am I doing so?
Well, I like it.
We can continue on.
I think that's very sweet.
But again, it's not the car itself.
Like if these are the cars that you are getting for yourself after winning the
World Cup, they have to like speak to your garage and say like, those are the
ones that were my World Cup ones, right?
Like those are the cleats that I won the World Cup in, that I made the,
the winning goal in.
You're not just going to be like, oh yeah, they're like another pair of
whatever's right.
That's true.
That's true.
But technically the Ferrari has had already been around for like however
many years.
So I don't know if I'd want to change it, but I was customizing, but maybe,
I mean, maybe the number that I put on the side of the Ferrari is the
majority majority number.
You know, maybe that feels obnoxious enough.
Well, so then everybody would know.
Yeah, but that, that makes sense to me with the Aston Martin.
You have to custom order the 6.3 liter through the works department.
Oh, so if I'm already doing that with the works department, you know, they're
going to tell you what color Connelly leather do you want your vehicle?
What burl of wood would you like on your dashboard?
Okay, let's do it.
So I would customize all those things.
I mean, it would have to have a dark blue interior right off the bat.
Whatever color it is on the outside doesn't really matter because I can't
really see it, but the interior has to be dark blue.
And then the dashboard, it's got to be a dark brown.
And then the neat thing, I actually know this one's right hand drive.
Yeah, it is.
So where's the handbrake?
I don't have a picture of it right here.
The handbrake is to your left on this.
Yeah, it's up against the center console, right?
Yeah, that's a very weird place for it because it's like sticking
straight up along the center console.
That's correct.
I do have some numbers here, though.
The Aston Martin's 6.3 liter V8 makes almost 17 times the horsepower
of the Dusha Vo.
Well, that's not surprising.
And then the Aston Martin's engine block alone weighs roughly as much
as the entire 1200 pound Dusha Vo frame.
So just the engine alone weighs as much as the old 2CV.
And a single 1982 Aston Martin Vantage costs the equivalent
to over 20 brand new 2CVs.
Wow.
So, you know, I think that the Dusha Vo, that would not be customized at all.
And it's just, you know, I just pick one up.
I do have to say Citroen had a massive manufacturing facility in Spain.
So the Spanish folks love it.
They might be stoked about it.
Yeah, I guess they called it Dos Caballeros or Dos Caballos.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, okay, that makes sense.
And lastly, I just have to say parking.
Parking that V8 Vantage on the streets of San Sebastian on a, you know,
a drunk Sunday Spanish afternoon is terrible.
But leaving the leaving.
Well, no, no, no, not me.
I'm just saying the pedestrian around me, everything, but the 2CV.
Who cares?
I don't know.
Somebody kind of runs into it.
You're gonna have somebody else park it.
I don't think you're.
Oh, I'm driving.
I'm driving.
No, he's driving that thing.
He loves that thing.
Are you kidding?
I got to say Chris Harris, you know, new guy here, you know.
Modern times.
Yeah, he loves the 2CV.
I know the 2CV.
Yeah, yeah, John Lennon had one.
Yeah, no, no, you're in good company.
Yeah, they're kind of like the bug of Europe, right?
Wouldn't you say?
Well, the bugs from Europe.
Yeah, wasn't the bug from Europe.
Well, okay, but you know.
Sorry, I had to.
It's true.
It's true.
They are from Europe.
I just let me rephrase that.
It's like the Mustang of America.
It's like the French, the French Mustang of America.
It's like the French bug.
Yeah.
Le bug.
But it was it was way, way worse drive because it had an
opposed two cylinder engine.
It it it only made 29 horsepower.
The Volkswagen made 90.
It had a different purpose, right?
Absolutely.
That's right.
It was a baguette runner.
That's right.
Well, it was an egg runner.
Originally was that right?
I did the suspension.
Yeah.
The test for the car was you had to have two dozen eggs in the
back seat drive through a field.
And if they broke, then it wasn't suitable to be like a farm.
It was designed to be a farm vehicle.
So the suspension had to hold up to so the eggs wouldn't break in
the back and that was the test.
I mean, that's really ridiculous and hilarious at the same time.
Well, actually, I'm just looking at this here.
Do you guys know the final year of two CV production?
It was pretty late.
Can you take a guess?
I'm going to go.
I'm going to say 1982 just for the.
No, not 1982.
What about you, Veronica?
Oh, God, I don't know.
Um, this I 96.
So 1990 July 27th, 1990 in Portugal.
So very close to Spain, you know, our neighbors there.
Yeah.
A 42, 42 year production run.
That's really cool.
Wow.
So there you go.
Yeah.
Wow.
You can pick up a lightly used one.
Except it'll probably be very used.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I'd buy a brand new one.
I'd be brand new Charleston.
Yeah, I need to.
Of course you are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the Charleston has a custom paint scheme.
So technically you haven't customized it put.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you guys know of any athlete or celebrity addition vehicles?
No.
Can you think of any?
Oh, the Eddie Bauer edition, Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition.
Eddie Bauer was a real guy, right?
That's true.
Right.
The old brand.
There was a brand.
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I see what you're talking about.
So Sterling Moss had a special edition car.
He did.
I think so.
A Mercedes of some sort.
Okay.
Oh, oh, oh, hold on.
Hold on.
There's, there's, what's his name?
He's a, he's a basketball player.
Is it LeBron?
It could be LeBron.
There's one of those basketball players that had it.
LeBron James.
Yeah.
It's something like that.
You made a custom car?
Or he had a car made.
It's like a, it's like the addition, but it's like a matching shoe to the matching
cart, the matching clothing brand that he has.
I can't recall.
Because I mean, is it really, it's just like paint.
I got to say the one guy, I think he was a guy on the Black Eyed Peas.
Do you guys remember the fellow named Will I Am?
Yeah.
Well, he made his own car.
He made a couple of his own cars and they were all terribly ugly.
They were all terrible.
Really?
So, um, from 1981, 1983, uh, Chrysler Imperial
made a Frank Sinatra edition.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
And the reason is that they painted it, um, to match his blue eyes.
So they painted it blue.
Man, if I was Dean, I'd be pissed.
I'd be like Oldsmobile.
We're building myself a computer.
That's going to be, that's going to be my little, uh, uh, trivia for you.
If there can, if we can find.
I got it.
Okay.
It's James Harden.
And he had a James Harden edition car.
That's right.
Here.
What was it?
It, I, it's a great question.
Let's see.
It's a, uh, oh, he's had Ferrari's Rolls Royces and Hellcats that match
his Adidas sneaker rotation.
Okay.
Well, that's a pain scheme.
The OEM didn't make an addition of a car.
Oh, I guess not.
Okay.
But that doesn't count is what you're saying.
You guys, well, all I'm saying is that since we're famous footballers,
essentially what we've done, like these cars would become so popular
that people would then afterwards be like, Oh my gosh, I want the Veronica
Coontosh, right?
But they can't have it.
No, no.
Cause I mean, we had, we had a Gucci wagon.
That's true.
So now we have a Veronica.
So I'm just trying to think of other vehicles that were made that led to people
being like, I want a smokey in the bandit or I want a.
Is there, is there an athlete that led to a famous car?
But we can leave that open for discussion later.
Well, I just, let me go over some famous V8 Vantage owner and they all had the
6.3 Rowan Atkinson.
I mean, we all know him to be a great car collector.
Elton John, which is just, if you look at the music video, I'm still standing.
You know, one of the great Elton John hits.
The car is not in it, right?
But you can imagine that guy because that song came out in 83.
I think it was, but you can just imagine the guy in that music video driving
around in a V8 Vantage.
Amazing.
And then Prince Charles owned one.
And then the last guy I found was Peter Sellers.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Peter Sellers V8 Vantage.
I think good company there.
Interesting.
Okay.
I'm only finding like kind of really obscure people that have owned the
Lancia Stratale.
So I'm not even going to name them because they're kind of like, no one's
going to know them anyway.
Um, I'm kind of surprised that does Jay Leno own one?
Yeah, he could probably.
He's got to own one.
Come on.
He's probably got one of every single one.
Jay Leno just, he just doesn't like Ferraris.
That's all.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I like him better already.
Yeah, stop it.
Yeah, you could look up, that up on YouTube.
It's like the one car brand Jay Leno refuses to own one.
Yeah.
He knows what's up.
Yeah.
He's never driven a 1977 308, obviously, you know?
No, no, of course not.
Yeah.
You know, he wants one though.
He wants one.
Um, I feel like that since there's only whatever 33 of these and I had one,
like we'd all get together that the idea of just such a rare car.
So I don't know if I want to customize it anymore.
I feel like we're just going to, it's going to be that famous.
I feel like you're going to make an addition of it.
Yeah.
You're going to just take it as is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's only 33 of them.
Okay.
Would you race it at a good wood?
In places like that?
They'd, they'd, they'd want me to.
They'd ask you to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They'd want to be there.
They'd want to be there.
Again, just, you know, yeah.
All right.
Okay.
Hmm.
Quiet, the quiet riot guitarist Carlos Havazo.
Okay.
He had an 82 Kuntosh for roughly 35 years and Mario Andretti, the famous F1
and Indy 500 champion, but he owned an 84 and he bought it new.
Hmm.
Um, and he also customized the pinstripes and put the signature, his signature
logo on the exterior.
What's up my Italian brother?
I got to mention you.
So you earlier, it's going to be the Tricolore pinstriping on the Kuntosh and
then there was a special edition Pagani Zonda that came years ago and you can
look at a Pagani Zonda Tricolore and it's got a really cool, you know,
Italian flag sort of design with raw carbon fiber, you know, Zonda.
Yeah.
It was this is a little bit loud for me.
I'll be honest.
Oh, yeah, very understated.
This is a little mucho.
That's the name of the game for Zonda.
Yeah.
I'm going to leave you guys with some of the people that I'll be driving
around with in mind.
Not us.
No.
Oh, sorry.
I don't think you're in this group.
Oh, okay.
Go ahead.
Lawrence Stroll of F1 fame.
Oh, all right.
That owns the Aston Martin F1 team.
Rob Walton heir to the Walmart.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, you want to be associated with that?
Okay, keep going.
No, I'm just saying this is the group.
This is the group.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's our car club.
Yeah.
Okay.
There's a Sir Anthony Bamford in here.
I don't even know who that is, but he's the British billionaire.
Okay.
Oh, Ralph.
Ralph, he's in there.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Ralph Lauren.
Yeah.
Or it's Lauren, right?
Lauren.
I think it's Lauren.
It's Lauren.
I don't think so.
I think it's Lauren.
As an L-O-R-E-N?
No, no, it's just L.
It's L-A-U-R-E-N, but it's pronounced Lauren.
He's just American, isn't he?
Well, you're going to know because you're going to be driving around with him.
So that's true.
But is he going to talk to me?
Am I going to yell out the window?
And I just call him Ralph.
Am I going to say that?
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Hey, Ralphie.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, not Ralphie.
That's what I call weird.
That's right.
That's right.
And Nick Mason.
He can play the soundtrack.
So sorry.
Who's Nick Mason?
I know.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't mean Pink Floyd.
Come on, Pink Floyd.
That's right.
Oh, my gosh, Pompeii live.
What are the best?
Oh, no.
Right.
Right.
Okay.
Mm hmm.
Mm hmm.
Well, thanks for coming on this footballer journey.
Oh, you're welcome.
I guess it's over.
Well, I mean, I got a little bit.
I got a little bit of history.
Listen, it's never over because Andrew's always got something.
I always got a little bit.
So I'm actually getting this in.
We're just out of time.
Well, we're out of time, but there's this really cool person.
I found and I was researching San Sebastian, Spain.
And when Allied bomber pilots in World War II would be shot down
over France and Belgium.
You know, this is the current story.
Well, a couple of years ago, I'll tell you.
Yeah.
Okay, but they would be smuggled down, you know, through over
the Pyrenees Mountains by this 24 year old girl.
And this girl would show up at the American Embassy in San
Sebastian because Spain was a neutral country at the time.
And she just showed up with these American soldiers and be like,
here you go.
I'm going to be back with like thousands more and she got
thousands of Allied troops smuggled out through that beach.
La Concha, you know, because it was a neutral place in what car
we're shooting in.
This is tie.
This is tie back to your vehicle choice.
No, no, no, I'm just saying this is where I'm going to live.
He just has something else to say.
No, this is where I'm going to live.
Remember, this is the whole beach town where I'm going to set
up after winning.
And this is where where I am.
And I just shout out to the history of the Comet line.
If anybody wants to look at the name of this young lady.
It was Andrea and it's spelled A N D R E E.
So I assume Andrea Day J O N G H a 24 year old Belgian nurse.
Wow.
I'm like, that's cool.
You know, I feel like there had to be a car involved.
Maybe a motorbike.
Well, you know, maybe they shot a couple of Nazis and stole their
Volkswagen.
We're covering a lot today.
Wow.
We've got the Pope.
We've got Nazis.
Well, I mean, gee, I think I think the first year of the two
C.V. was 1939.
So who knows?
Maybe they had a prototype.
Yeah.
Can you say this podcast, Veronica?
You got anything more lighthearted to add at the end?
You know, I just want to say I just big ups to Jay Leno for
loving a Lamborghini Qantas and not a Ferrari.
That was his commuter car when he worked at the tonight show.
He would drive it on the 101 to Burbank.
Stop.
So, um, he could be seen.
He drove it daily and, uh, the Red Coontosh.
The Periscopio.
No, that was the early one.
Oh, the Quatro Valvole.
That was I think so.
Yeah.
He was, it was like an early 80s, but he drove it with no wing
on it or no tail.
No.
Yes.
As they say.
No tail.
Yes.
But he put a tremendous amount of miles on it.
You know what?
Good man.
Seen driving it all the time.
Good man.
I still to this day.
Oh, by the way, I just think I found it.
Oh, no, no, no, this is not it.
Have you sat in a Qantas?
I have.
I have.
Can you see the nose?
Can you see the tip of the nose when you're sitting in it?
I don't remember seeing the nose.
I remember being in it and thinking, I don't even know how
you drive in this.
Like I'm glad I'm not the only one all the way down and yeah,
it's wild.
And you feel like you're literally sitting on the floor,
right?
Andrew, have you sat in it as well?
Well, and then your feet aren't straight either.
Oh, your feet are are are canted over to the right side.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But those are the 308s that way.
Wait, sorry.
What is what is in front of you?
Is that the is that the wheel?
Well, so it's just the link the linkages for the, you know,
the clutch pedal assembly and like the master cylinder for
the brake, they just mounted them closer to the center of
the car.
So I think for the suspension to had to cut in their weight
distribution.
No, I'm just for packaging.
Yeah.
Huh.
Mm hmm.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I just, I mean, yeah, putting, putting daily miles on a
Countach, you have to be image driven drove it.
He drove it all the time.
You've got that's called baller status, Andrew.
Oh, true, true.
You guys ever seen Jay London driving around in something
wacky?
No, which is crazy.
I've lived my whole life here and I've never seen Jay
Leno driving me and my dad.
I'm a kid.
I'm like 10 years old.
We go to this wonderful place in Burbank called arrow or
auto books, arrow books.
Yep.
And it's just, you know, so it's a bookstore and it's got
an old guy working in there and it's just old Burbank
vibes and me and my dad are in there and you hear a jet
roll up and you're like, gee, you know, there's not an F 18
driving down Burbank Boulevard or whatever it was.
It was Jay Leno in a Chrysler turbine car.
Yeah.
And he was just driving it around.
He let me sit turbine turbine turbine car.
Yeah, I'm not too sure turbine car.
I can say know how long ago it was because my
dad video with a motor roller razor flip phone of me in this
car with Jay Leno.
So we'll be posting that.
We're going to find it in my mom's.
My mom's good in history and photo records.
My dad will see if it still exists.
So Leno has an 86 Kuntas.
Yeah.
Quite revolvely drove it for five years daily.
That's awesome.
Well, and I wonder if I wonder how soon because I assume
he bought it new because when he got the McLaren F one,
he started driving that thing a lot and that was like 1994
1995.
So from Kuntas to F one.
No for the party business.
Gotta get the comedy biz.
All right.
That's what we're trying to do here, by the way.
Yeah, with what's the what's the fellow that book that you
shouted out in the beginning?
The History of Improv.
Oh, Sam, Sam Wasen.
He's a great writer.
Yeah, there you go.
I'm going to let the people know he interviewed
all of the most famous comedians out there.
I don't think I don't know if Jay was in it because it was
about improv.
So I don't know that Jay was an improv guy.
What Jay would be a offended at that.
Is that true?
Did he do improv?
Oh, yeah, a stand up guy was me improv.
I don't know.
I feel like Jay is like, yeah, whatever.
Well, when I get the strong argument when I get through
these these 13 CDs, I'll report back.
What CD are you on right now?
Number one.
Oh, very nice.
That's right.
Yeah.
All right.
On that note, tune in and we'll give you another CD book
update next week.
And sorry, I've got one more thing.
I'll do it.
Okay, so this weekend I'm definitely going to go and we're
going to see if maybe Steve and Andrew can come.
We're going to go to the Gooding Christie's preview of the
Pebble Beach cars that are going to be at auction at
Pebble Beach and maybe we might even discuss it next week
on the pod.
How do you guys feel about that?
I think that sounds amazing.
Yeah.
If at least one of us goes.
Well, I'm certainly going to go.
I hope that that that maybe one of you also joined.
I think Andrew is pretty committed.
Yeah, yeah, that'd be pretty cool.
You didn't go to the Peterson?
I just, apparently they put these cars into a building with
no style, no pizzazz, no nothing.
It's just like, here's all the cars in a building.
You can look at them if you want.
So there's no like, yeah.
Well, what do you want?
I mean, you, you, that mustache.
I'm seeing this is a good thing.
I'm seeing this is a good thing.
I'm like, I love, I love a car place where they're just like,
well, they're parked in here.
If you like them, you can come and look at them.
Well, I did, I did go last year and there is a pamphlet where
it gives you the breakdown of all the cars and what I think
that they're like estimated at or whatever.
And all the vehicles are there.
They are all accessible to look at, walk around, get close
and personal.
And yeah, there's everything from like, like the newest newest
when I say newest, I mean, the oldest, the first, first vehicles
from back in the day to, you know, things like probably
not a coontosh, but things like the Ferrari that you chose
today, Steve, and even the Aston that you chose today, Andrew.
I don't, I love those.
Yeah, advantage.
Do we have, okay.
Well, let's do it.
Let's do that next week.
Yeah, let's do it.
Okay.
On that note.
Great to see you both.
It's always a pleasure.
The mustache is, it's growing on me.
You know, it's here to stay.
It's here to stay.
I'm going to just bludgeon this back.
To look older?
Or what do I look older?
Do I look older with the mustache?
Yeah, you do look a little older with the stash.
Yeah, I just, I don't like hair on my, on the bottom of my
neck.
It really bothers me, you know?
So mustache I'm stuck with.
Yeah.
No, I love it.
I think it's a power purse.
Okay.
It's a power move.
It's a power stash.
I'll grow into it.
I think that'll be the, the reality.
Love it.
Good to see you guys.
See you later.
See you.
See you next week.
Ciao.
Original notes
This week we celebrate the world's game - football! Or as we yanks call it soccer. Fresh from the World Cup we decided to see what cars we would choose if we won the championship in 1982! Veronica @verns73scout goes the pasta route - pure carbs, while Andrew @aircooledturtle hates horsepower unless it’s an Aston, and Steve @cah_toons goes hi-dollar of course and hires a driver. Did we choose the rides of champions?
