radiator or if you
Jumped in that car. Yeah, and then parked it as soon as you came back from summon ads

There's a 296. It's like this year last year's model. So that was the lead car
Then there were two Lamborghini Aventadors. One was a preformante like the big boys
Then there was the our turbo s's the 997 and the 992 and
Oh, and the groom's dad had a gt2 rs Porsche. So the 391s to pop people
Yeah, they they they're struggling they're working class
And then there was two Rolls Royce full drives for the wives and the family
Yeah, working class they've worked hard
And we drove from Duraway to the city to st. Mary's Cathedral
The procession and the bikes now know why they why they use the bikes they stop at the roundabouts block the traffic
Oh, yeah, so we're all together
Yeah, the bikes had it all worked out. All right
And so we're going there, but this is a thing. What car stands out? You got the lambos
You get the 9 11s. What stood out to you?
Okay, so if you're standing on the side of the street watching this procession go
The lambos are like bright red. They stand out. Oh, they're bright red too. One's a bright. Yeah
Red red cars man for sure. Yeah, and then the two blacks and the silver gd2 rs red stands out
Especially if it's got tan trim. It's just it's the ultimate which car broke down on the way there
Or which car hey, which car none of the the Porsches
The uh, one of the lambos are really overheated. Yeah, well, it's freaking hot man because they
Well, we had our mate. My groom's been had his jacket still on they were doing a group chat like
There were six greens on his and everyone was talking to everyone and the guys in the lambos were melty and Regretta going in there
And everyone in the Porsches were fucking high five
Yeah, but the lambos got AC. Yeah, but they were over 30 that I turned them on because the car's overheated
And just in the back, there's no uh, he pulled over on the freeway. No, we're worried that on the freeway. Yeah
We're in guard like they pulled over to a bay
Um, so that was so I'm to the trip in the summon hats. Okay. There's a fair few cars overheated
But for what temperature we reached there wasn't many you think to yourself they done fucking well
To manage their cars. Yeah, it's overheated. Yeah, like a lot overheated. Don't get me wrong
But look, it took you an hour to get around to think so you're doing three kilometers an hour. Yeah
Yeah, because they killed it that like they'll say you have the car going to breathe and then the at the end
I remember the only exit left was gate nine. I think which is the back one
Like that was screwed nearing used to be where the ever used to walk. No that that that wasn't further back
With the this the the you got past the horses. Yeah, they happen those gates down there
Yeah, there's a set of gates up there because the main road there though
No, you got to go through the dirt and come down the back of it like they happen up weird man
Okay, and like you just you clean your car and you got a driver and then they had fucking mats on the ground
Yeah, right and with the wind
They're bending up and I could hear it hitting the vn underneath. Yeah, imagine these guys who were fucking cuckoo heads
Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything's pristine. What the fuck? Like if they hit the Mustang underneath, I'll be spewed
I painted that thing underneath. It's all immaculate underneath and it's gonna fuck it up
Um, I always summon ads is it's a very unique show. It's unique to the world a lot in Australia
Like everyone talks about good wood festival
How's they trying to take it to a seamer like everyone's got you
Summon ads is the most unique even seamers copied stuff from someone that's with the burnouts
Yeah, that's right. Yes, then it means dude burnouts
They don't know how to do burnouts in America. We told there was a Commodore this year when we went last year
Yeah, but you know, we taught them how to do. Yeah, there was a VH Commodore doing burnouts in the um
in that
Jim Carter, what's yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway
What I always wanted it was I mean top keys to get all these events. I wished imagine if top key came to summon ads
Imagine Jeremy Clarkson. You've had at summon ads
That would be cool. Imagine what car what car drink and he would have had
I don't know, but you're saying it you've had Brock go there. There's a lot of celebrity
There's a fair few but not it's never been like a show or not like a talkie. No, imagine that would have been good
You know, they always do a theme get three that would be around your cars. What do you reckon Clarkson would have turned up in?
You would have got a fucking big Commodore. You would have put the V8
and then
James May would have got
Volvo probably a Leyland P76. He would have got something with a bit of a British twang
No, I would have got itself a Tarana. He would have got a small Tarana like a
XU1 or something. It's amazing. I don't know. I got a feeling that they were invited once
Okay, but I think that comes I've watched the cricket or whatever. I'm not gonna come to Australia
That ain't Pete. No, they've got around the world. We've been driven to the North Pole. They're not gonna come to Australia
I don't even know where Australia is. They've done Australia. They've done a show in Australia
But not some of that. You always told me that in America, the only America
Yeah, they're very they after the last time we went they were blinkers
Mate, they got no idea who we are what we do or anything. We just found out that they're buying all our borough engines
Yeah
Because the
Outlaws came here to race American VAT a lazy street outlaws apparently came out here to race
Right, and they freaked out over the the fords. They got two containers of engines, I reckon
So they brought
Two containers or a container full of borough engines. So taking the four layers of engines. Yeah to put in there in the yank tanks
I don't know. I don't know, but they bought a shitload of them apparently
And don't laugh. One of the guys with us has got a
Ford I don't know what the fuck it is. Jesus. Jesus. G6e
Yeah, that's the turbo one. All that he's done is change the turbo in it. Yeah, it's got 750 horsepower at the rear wheels
Yeah, I'm sure you have to change the gearbox too. Those gearboxes. No, everything in them cars is strong
I don't know. But anyway, but I'm just saying 750. Yeah, those
Those are f6s those the the turbo the g6e's are with the luxury version
All those XR6 turbos, all those cars were underrated and underpowered
You could they didn't want to they didn't want to overtake the V8
But they didn't want to overtake the V8 or my apparently the Americans freaked out over him
Yeah, and bought fuck containers filled up containers or yeah
You think of like like thinking about it now up when when con told me his cars got 750 horsepower because they went and done burnouts at night
Somewhere
Right, he's kind of which which kind of afford uh, whatever it is
Was it complied to go for transit van? Was it? No afford uh, whether we told you the gsg
Oh, the gc. Okay, right and when he told me the 750 horsepower and they've had to change the turbo
It's unbelievable, mate. I'll put that in a tarana imagine a tarana. Fuck would scream stealth machines, mate
Ford made a good product the rest of the car fall apart around a bit
But no, no, it's so unique. There was no holding had no
Oh, I'm afraid that we talked about America like they bought that that's that's news to me
Yeah, the drag of those street outlaws that ever bought bought a container filled a container with a motors and put them in
Yeah
750 horsepower
Yeah, like that's fucking huge. Yeah, the the V8s in America. They're they're big engines very lazy
They they idle very low. They don't get that. They got they don't get much power out of them
They're not by the way. I don't know who won for what summoners
Oh, the the show and shine and all that. Yeah, there's one where they you got to show other than your racing
