Are dual cabs the next Commodore and Falcon?

This is professional radio. Has front wheel drive.

Have you got anyone you want to think?

Just myself. And then I would do the after

hours. Gentlemen, what would you do

for? ACS in there.

OK. And because there's not a

supercar, there is. It's not.

Ordinary perfection comes in the form of two letters A&U.

Long live my Ltd. Walking to Car Talk, she's over

here in 98.9 Northwest FM. It's me, Mary Jane in studio

with Mr Alan Deep Singh and Chad, as well as online with Mr.

David Prince, Mr Edward Bunting, Scudo Johnson and Luca has joined us for the first time in a very long time.

How are you, gentlemen? Good.

Good. Very good.

Doing well. Thank you.

Good to see all of you guys. Luca, we haven't had you on in

awhile. How you doing?

All right. As good as Cami, I think,

considering the circumstances within this country at the moment, look up the country. That's what's wrong with it

right now, Edward. Oh, you got it, Beautiful autumn

weather. Love will leave it mate.

Yeah, well, where's better, Luca?

Where's better? Well, I can't say America, but

yeah, no, look, we are lucky to be country, but it's just a shame as a minority of the ruin it, you know?

I know what you mean. Yep.

Yep, yeah, any who won't dwell on that.

But now, otherwise, good. As good as can be.

But yeah, it's nice to be back. Been awhile.

We, we saw you not too long ago actually before we went on actually all of us went on that went on that drive to Geelong and we saw you with with little Avian.

How's he going? Well, probably half the reason

or back tonight because I'm actually free from family so everyone ditched me and left to Sydney.

So I've got some time. He's batched sometime.

My slave. Yeah, I'm bachelor with the two

dogs and the heater. That's good, yeah.

But now that being good, I've been good.

So yeah, can't complain my friend.

Very good to hear mate, how are the rest of you guys going before we get into some car updates?

Pretty good, happy to be here. Pretty good as always.

Lovely. And David, Scotty and Edward,

how are you guys going? Yes.

Yes, also good. Travelling well, thank you.

Yeah, doing well back at work and everything's going well.

It's it's hard being back at work in the Scotty.

It's tough, tough. Crimea River.

Yeah, well school teachers get like 3 months off a year.

Yeah, well, it's, it's at least you're saying it's sniffing around say, oh, you get 6 months or year, like we don't get six months of the year, but. You gotta go.

Whatever it is. That's a lot.

Apparently they go and try you work, you work during the holidays. That correct?

We do work during the holidays, that is correct.

We go, I mean, I didn't do any work these holidays that that's really which we'll cover in a little bit.

But but look, will Cregan Muslim contest said, look, we haven't seen you in awhile. What's happening in your car

land. What's happening with with the

with the cars? You obviously got a new one to

the stable, which which we touched on the show, but we haven't really delved into it in in in in in a bit of detail.

How? How's your cars going in?

Well, we upgraded Emily's car to the Santa Fe, which is an absolutely unbelievable steel value for money is unreal.

The features that has is just yeah, they've come a very long way. I never thought I'd buy a

Hyundai, but something a bit bigger and yeah, the Santa Fe was on the market for all the features you get was there's nothing that could compare in that price range.

So yeah, she loves it, absolutely loves the car.

I love it too. It's nice, really nice drive.

We drove it up to Coffs Harbour and didn't miss a beat and yeah, unreal, really good car. We got the Merc.

Nothings really happened there, just kind of sitting sadly.

And for the listeners, C63 like, not just a old Dunger.

Yeah. No, it's his playing.

It's more yeah, things to to drive it.

The old don't know. You've got the C63, yeah.

I think I will hold on to it. I'm just seeing the way the

Mercedes, the Mercedes going and no more V eights little nature that spread ones. So yeah, I'm trying to hold on

to it, just raise the stabilise, which helps a little bit.

And yeah, I did upgrade the the wild track for a Raptor, which is really amazing car to drive. It's nice to have a little bit

more power as a daily. Although the V6 diesel while

track was remarkably quick for a diesel car.

But yeah, I mean, the Raptor, you can't, you can't really compare them. But yeah, the V6 was unreal.

And the Raptor, just to tell you how quick it is, I lined up a VYS waggon and I was 2 colleagues in front.

Wow. Workout no less.

Any it wasn't too happy, but what?

What? Is the wrapped up?

3 litre V6 twin turbo turbo. Twin turbo petrol.

Petrol. Yeah, I all.

Raptors of that same motor. Petrol only.

Yeah, they only come in that, that, that motor that period.

So I thought it was actually done well, cause last models Raptor was just really glorified wild track with wheel arches and suspension. So they're very done pretty much

yeah. The engine Fox fox shocks yeah

looks a little bit different in so it's pretty similar, but it's got little highlights wrapped a little highlights and stuff.

But yeah, just the contrast between two cars.

Obviously petrol and diesel are very different, but you can really feel a big difference on the two ranges.

Handles unbelievable for you. Doesn't feel like you're really

driving me, which is insane to drive around further daily.

So yeah, does it really, really good car.

Got lucky as well with with Caleb.

At the start I was impatient and I just a wild track popped up.

But if I had my time again, obviously I would have just waited the year for the Raptor. But yeah, I'm happy with that.

Very, very good car. And did you getting out of the

old one, did you sell it privately or did you trade it in on that one? I did a wholesale wholesale by

the game. Pretty good price.

So yeah, at the time Ford told me it was a three month wait and I wanna put the deposit down. And then the the salesman called

me on the Monday and said I've got one coming in two weeks if you want it. I do.

Being impatient, I just kind of flopped off the old one.

What I was asking for, what I offered was only a couple grand less, so couldn't complain. That's good.

So it's relatively painless to swap from one to other.

What about like did you have the other one finance?

Did you have to jump from one, finance the other or?

No, that was, yeah, that was, it's look, it's a worker.

So it's yeah, no, it's just paid.

They just don't. Yeah.

Easy. How are you finding on petrol?

Horrible. Yeah, keep standing up.

But it's this way, yeah. It's like driving it.

I did. I did do a long haul trip to

Mildura and for a side job in the drive back the next day and I got thinking 660 to one tank. But around town you yeah, 450

Max you're probably lucky to get.

Wow, yeah, that's the biggest tank.

I'm guessing it's 80 or 90 litres or.

Something it's 75 or 80 O. OK.

So it's not that big. Not humongous, but yeah, people

already put in long range tanks and stuff and yeah obviously all the accessories are coming out for them I guess yeah Disadvantage is if you tell a lot, just being coils all round and not leaf springs in the back, you lose a tonne of time.

But yeah, I don't really tell a whole lot at all to be honest.

So. But I mean.

Going to be my question. Yeah, two and.

Half of like 3 1/2 tonnes. You know what was that?

I was just gonna say, yeah, I was gonna be.

That was gonna be my question about what kind of resuspension the Raptors got, cause I know. Yes, it's yeah, it's coils,

coils around the wild tracks obviously got the leaves and the rest of the Ranger range have Leafs.

Yeah, the Raptor is the only one that's got coils all around, and they're actually pretty much built for jumping, so surprise you. And the cool thing about the

Raptor is you can actually change the dev, the dampers and the steering. And yeah, it's not.

Yeah, crazy cool, really cool car.

Basically the civic type are you?

Pretty much, yeah. Pretty.

Much I was, I was saying to Luke, I think on on on on Sean Ford website, they've got like this the the Ford Ford performance racing team, they took one, they just stripped it, put a cage in it and took it to the think, you know, the think race and it won so well. So and they didn't do like any

other modifications like standard suspension, pretty sure. And everything else is just like

they just quite literally stripped to put a cage in it and and I'll feel if they went that. Suspension that's in.

If you have time jump on YouTube and just look up full range of wrapped up. Plenty of people taking up Bush

build ramps and just jump them and forwarded literally pretty much encourages you to like thrash it off road and you won't have an issue. Yeah, well, it's cool to do

that. Like all the testing was done,

like, you know, deserts and stuff.

And, and yeah, we, we saw a few on, on, on Fraser when when we went, when we went there, surprise.

How many? I think it's probably two or

three, you know, current generation range of Raptors on on the island. Which was on the island.

Wow. Yeah.

Yeah, there are a lot of look at pretty much designed here, so Australia people. But yeah, I'm definitely going

again. I don't know what to do the next

model, but I would love to say the Miami Putty one.

That'd be pretty cool. This was last year before this

model came out there to be getting the V8 supercharged.

But yeah, obviously it might be pricier, but in having having said that, I don't love the sound the V6 turbo makes.

Thought it sounded alright. Why don't?

What don't you like about it? Just sounds a bit too raspy.

OK. Is there someone with a C63 bit

raspy? No, not raspy, no way.

But like, I don't know, just yeah, if you're different sound.

Such a winger. Winger I'm I'm saying I love the

car. The only one thing I don't love

is the sound of it. Yeah, it is growing, you know,

but if that's my only complaint. But it's pretty good.

That's right. So I don't Max performance are

doing a lot of work with them at the moment and they made an exhaust for it actually sounds a lot better.

And they're they're ones doing like close to 11 second passes down the case which is which is truck. 11 for the quarter mile

in a Raptor. Interrupted like with which is

bolt ends at the moment, so that's that's pretty quick.

It's quicker than an XR6 turbo stock.

Yeah, it is, yeah. So, so I think they're in the

low twelves at the moment and they've they've maxed out the original size turbos. So from what I see, they're

gonna do it, they're gonna put turbos and then they're gonna go for an 11. So that'll be pretty nuts for a

for cat size. Is that engine and anything else

the V6 twin turbo? I don't think so yet.

I think that's it. Could it could be wrong, but I'm

not not entirely sure. But yeah, I think it's a brand

new engine for this car. So I think they are talking

about users in another 4 Ford cars.

But yeah, I'm pretty sure telling the Raptor.

I mean, there's a variation of it.

I don't think it's the same engine, but it's in the it's not the escape the Explorer St in the States, but I think it's I think it's a variation, but I don't think it's the same one.

Pierre look from from all accounts, people tuning them, they're quite strong and they and they and they can take a bit of a beating. So apparently.

They're pretty heavily detuned from factory, yeah.

So yeah, there's room to move in them.

Yeah, and you have six. What's happening with that?

Nothing, same as the C63, just kind of garage queen at the moment. Unfortunately I don't get to

drive a whole lot due to family commitments and work but I did.

I drive a last drove I think 3 weeks ago and it was fine.

It was good, nice to drive it. That's why people say oh you

should work for the Raptor. So no, already spent too much

money on cars and this is I just want this car to stay stock no issues and just enjoy it the way it is.

OK on the 16th of the 4th. 2024 at 7:26 PM Luca.

Has. Let's get that in writing.

It's recorded, so you know. If anything I'd love to go

bigger turbo on the F6. I'd rather spend more money on

that. But.

Yeah, we get to the boat. Yeah.

I think undrivable. On the road.

When does it go off the road? Never.

It's gone to the track very soon, Ed.

One of the track. Oh that's I heard a rumour it's

going to the drags. It will be soon, yes.

Yeah. Can you tell us when there is?

I want to go to that. Drags man.

Drags. Drags out.

Before years ago. I haven't been for a long time.

I'll let you know. You smoke some other bastards.

We should make a night of it then.

Yeah, we. Should.

It'll be. Fine cattle kick to the dregs,

David, you're coming. Sweet.

Talking about drugs, you know what I saw?

A show did in South Yarra. Yeah.

OHS OHS. OK, it was a post put up about

the Nissan Note. The electric vehicle.

The the electric one with the petrol engine and how zip it is straight off off the mark. And there's a video of a guy

that took one to the drag strip and I I'd say for like a good 203 hundred foot, he was easily in front and beating a 33 GDR that had like 600 horsepower. Yeah.

The market just buying and it was just killing it until obviously it got into its stride.

But anything off the mark, this little car just demolishes.

Because full extract isn't it off?

Instant, instant. It's just instant talk, instant

everything, just top. So that should do the eighth

mile, not the quarter mile and then it will.

It would be everyone to the traffic lights, but that's it.

That's when you just jump off the accelerator and let it go.

That is the perfect car for fast driving in traffic.

Yeah, City and everything like that.

You'll destroy anyone and everyone.

Volkswagens, anyone's got it all covered up.

You're just smashing. It didn't it didn't.

You might look at do the build his WX just to beat golf.

See. I mean you should have bought

one of these. Well, yeah, but you'd be getting

off for the first eight of them, as you said.

And that was it, did it for the long Jimmy.

This thing doesn't really even spool up till, you know, 4 four and a half 5000 RPM so. Yeah, that it's, it's quite a

fast car. I remember going in, it was

quite, quite quick, much quick. Well, Scotty, updates with you,

man. What's happening on your end?

Have dates with me. I got my new poster that's up

there behind me and thanks to Maddie to finding finding that one that was an original catalogue picture of the R34 GTR in the midnight purple two that came out.

So only three hundred of those were made.

You haven't. Got.

I'd certainly did had one of those, so it was awesome to get that and I found a a nice frame that I fitted in there, so I've got that hanging out behind me. You need to get a bigger wall.

I've still got a bit more rooms. This missionario.

A little bit, a little bit more room until the end there.

So I can keep going there. And I've got the part that's

arrived for the R31, which was the transmission cross member, so I've got that. So that's all ready to go.

The only thing that it needs is just some bolts, but that's easily obtainable. Can get bolts from anywhere

because they're just. They're not special bolts or

anything. You get them from Bunnings for

free. Yeah, exactly right.

They just, you just grab them and you just test them out and just look at it or not. And then if they do fit, I might

come back and pay for them. Yeah.

If I remember. So yeah, next time we meet at

Bunnings, I'll, I'll glitches. I'll remember, I'll pay.

You tested in your pocket and then you walk out?

Yeah. Yeah.

Not sure if that fit. I'm just testing them.

I don't wanna have to pay and come back so.

Is it the crossmember for the swap, for the manual swap, or is it Yeah, yeah. Oh, cool, yeah.

So that's the last piece of the puzzle, isn't it?

Like it's, it's, it should be there.

You go, yeah, that's the last piece of the puzzle.

That was it. And then just go Bang, Bang,

bang. They won't go that easy.

There's no way it's going to go Bang, Bang, bang.

There always be something. Possible it's gonna go Bang Bang

F word, Bang Bang. Why won't this damn work?

Bang Bang F word. And then you quit and then you

come. Back to it later, like yeah you

could probably smash out a weekend and then it will be like 3 weekends later. God damn it.

Well, as I said to you, we should working be it one weekend, you know two inside the inside the car, two in the engine Bay, 2 underneath the car, Bang Bang, bang and it will be it will get done. It was a major sliding beers

underneath and. Above, just say that sounds like

a boner. Very X rated yeah.

Plenty of bees. BBQ.

Yeah, I think that's it. Just, you know, driving the

blade. All the blades did kill a magpie

the other day. Unfortunately sliced and diced.

Yeah, just driving home from driving home from golf and it just decided to fly right in front, got cleaned up.

Lucky it wasn't a rexy. Good, that made a good dunk

sound. I was like, oh, wonder which

part on the front that might have hit it hit the number plate. Number plates kind of caved in a

bit, got a good deal. So it's kind of like, oh, I'm

kind of glad it hit the number of.

Things, yeah. Magpie too, I feel sorry for it.

It should. Have just flown higher.

Thing they got the whole damn sky to go in and they choose to be where we are. You know, like if I was a bird,

I was saying this on the the recent trip.

I was a bird. I've been Barbados or somewhere

hanging out like, you know, like at the top of a palm tree.

I'm not gonna be in some St in Melbourne.

Yeah, hovering around the roads and stuff like that.

I. Can fly for goodness sake.

It's OK, you can go anywhere. What are you?

Doing get up in a tree, will you?

Let now it's now it's flying to heaven.

Yeah, there was a puff of feathers behind.

No. Puff of Yeah.

Yeah, there was. I was driving ranges.

Look, I go, well, where is it? And I just see Ohm pushing OHS.

I did. I took a little trip down to

Mexico Way. Opened up the blade.

Yeah, cause I figured it out how to just steps to turn off the traction control and everything. At least this traction, my

goodness, it gets those front wheel spinning, but I think you know well they 224 fives or something on the front 245 eighteens and just pulling out and just yeah, full spinning and taking off So cool. That's pretty good.

What did the Mexican authorities think?

They were right. Yeah, yeah.

It was funny because just up ahead was a a sign there in Mexico that originally said police will catch you anywhere.

Anytime anyone but the PO was blacked out so it just said lice instead. So it's just life will catch you

anywhere, anytime anyone like you're not wrong.

Army school you know all about. That, yeah.

And importantly, Mexican authorities are very, very reasonable, more than happy to accept a bribe and let people be on their way. There was only it was only

coming out and exhilarating up to 100, so it was all good, but it was in Mexico, so you're allowed to.

Yeah, you're allowed to do it there.

It's, it's that's what you're supposed to.

David Prince updates with you. Please with me.

Well, I don't know if you guys have heard of a, a charity called Edgar's Mission, which is like a, an animal mission where, you know, retired animals go and, and people, they look after them in their twilight years and that sort of thing.

I'm thinking of registering a charity called Switcheroo's Mission because I sort of seemed to attract these cars that people wouldn't normally, you know, take on.

Mind you, I don't, I don't, I, I don't actually take them all.

You can't save them all, but some of them you do do need to save. So I've ended up with a 1994 CD

Accord VTS. So last year the Japanese people

once it's Bordeaux red bought new at Ferntree Gully Honda in January 94. So it's a very early one of that

at the CD Bordeaux Red with the grey leather and it has 472,000 kilometres on. Running.

It is literally running Luca. There's a half million

kilometre. Yeah, which isn't that sweet as

a nut. So you don't get the mileage of

that on a car without looking after it.

So and it's got good history, full history all the way through. Never had paint.

That's not true. The bottom got painted because

like like Ed Sheeran kangaroo about 25 years ago.

I think I got the full story. So I I rang him mate in the club

who had one you and I said guess what, we've got a car.

To. Grab together now.

So a little bit of tidying up, but it's all there.

Totally original, everything works.

Is it got a sunroof that one? Yep, Yep.

So is it? Was it 1 owner David?

Yeah, 1 owner from you. That's the same age as me, I'm

90. 494 OK. In Kangaroo, but I'm a 94 model.

Yeah, there you guys. That's all with you.

David will that will that be a a seller or a stain the club somewhere? I think it'll probably well,

what's not worth anything. And that's the thing he said.

We just it's too good to send to The Wreckers because no one's going to work at 470 Ki. Just think it be cool to try and

get it to half a mil. I mean, for the way the thing

looks, it's it's it's straight as a die.

I mean, in fact, I've shown some people photos of it never said Oh, and I've said now look the odometer and they said I thought you said 1000 cases. No, no, no, 470,000 K.

So yeah, that's. That's good achievement.

Needs some bits and pieces, but it's got all the bones to be a lovely, lovely old car. And actually the launch of the

new Accord is for the, you know, half a dozen people that might buy is early in May. So, you know, it's the sort of

thing you could clean up and it could go on a showroom floor, you know, as a demonstration of what these cars will do, you know, when they're looked up there.

So seat cover on it in the photos I got and I thought all the weather will be completely no was the second was on to protect the letter and the letters fine underneath the seat cover. So they actually used back in

the 90s Honda actually used, however, from Melbourne that was in Melbourne, beautiful quality and, and, and looked really large still so. Some photos of this David.

Ohe, I'll supply you with some later love to.

Send me. Some photos of this.

So, yeah, so I don't know whether we just, I don't know whether it just gets stuck straight into it and get it as clean or, you know, that's the sort of thing we've talked before about actually filming the process of actually getting it up to where it should be. And yeah.

So. That's pretty cool.

The only other thing I've been I've got the integrity in my garage at the moment. I got that out of storage.

It was at my son's place who's down down the other side of Dandenong. And so on the weekend, tried the

Scamp down and swapped it over with the Integra.

If G. If you want to make an Integra

feel like a sports car from another planet, drive a Scamp.

Picking it up. The scratch fun driving the

scamp down, it sits on that. What's the extension of South

Road there and onto the South Diner bypass and the South Gippsland Hwy sits on about, you know, indicated fifty 4550 miles an hour, which is about 80 K somewhere around there.

Just things like little goes, like little strain.

But yeah, the Integra just felt absolutely magnificent unconscious. So yes, I'm going to enjoy that

and get that, get all children done in that, do a bit of an Ed Bunting service month and a bit of a fright.

Quick question with that, with that accord you've got.

So are you going to do a bit of David printing on it and then it should come up good? Is the paint pink or is it or is

it red? No, no, there is the paints

good. There's no clear cut heal.

It's very cheaply and it's the front bumper painted and it's cheaper across the nose but. I think at that case.

I don't think I'll even paint the bonnet.

I think we'll just touch it up. I mean, that's part of the

story. The car, I mean, it's yeah, it's

just crazy. It just really struck a chord of

the fact that, you know, they thought to ring the club, which was nice, rather than end up at IMAX or somewhere like that and have the eyes picked out of it. When when it's the bones are

there, it's it's a lovely example.

Really don't think it's ever had anything in the book.

The boots absolutely spotless inside.

So, yeah. So that I might even make it to

Super Picnic in a couple of weeks too.

We'll see how we go getting getting played on.

When is Sakura? That is the is it the 5th of

May? It's the 5th of May.

Is the 5th of May. OK.

Edward Bunting updates with you. Updates with me let's work start

the most recent to backwards. Most recently I drove the scab,

which I haven't driven the time. So I was a bit like you, David.

I was down at my parents place where the stamp is stored and my sister was there with her family and I have a couple of families and there's all these kids running around and I had the garage open and one of the little kids is like 10.

He was he was like, what's that car?

And I was like, that's a little Honda that's cool.

You know, can we go in it? I was like, well, if it starts

maybe. So I fired it up and there's a

there's a big Rd and Danny, this has all, we always called it the Big Dipper as kids because you need to go right down this huge dip and then up the other side. So I said, oh, let's take it

down the Big Dipper. And they're like.

Sorry. I have three.

I had three little, little boys in the car and we went for this big run which they loved. And then of course the girls

were back at the house. Now we want to go to her, right?

So then I did a second run with the girls in the car and so yeah, all the kids got to ride in Scamp.

Nice. Did you have to do a big run up,

Edward? Yeah, to.

Go on, you know, it's, you know, this week I did see the other side of 60 miles an hour down, you know, it's peaked down the down the bottom, but it was alright, you know was alright.

It's not so quick going up the other side.

Of course, you know amps don't really like kills that.

Much they don't. So what else have I done?

I have taken the Orion that I purchased.

I purchased the O 8 Orion a few weeks back and I think I talked about on this show, Yeah, really smooth, amazingly, amazingly good, refined mechanicals net car.

But I've taken that out to graze online.

So that is, Yeah, sitting out there waiting to be auctioned.

I have. What else have I done?

Driven the Prado, I don't know if we talked about the product while I bought a Prado last year, O2 Model D sell 1 owner car 200 and Stone now down 251,000 K when I got, I've done 243,000 K. So I put that in storage because

I wanted to take it up to Queensland and drive it around Fraser Island. And so I sort of kept it for

that purpose, which Maddie and I did over the last week and 1/2 or so. And good old Prado dragged it

out of storage, pumped up the tyres and yeah, I've driven it around for the last couple of weeks and it was fine.

We changed the oil and philtre in it before the trip and it didn't put a foot wrong. Very, very good car.

So it doesn't look like much, the paint all peeled off but as a lot of older Toyotas do. But mechanically and interior,

she is sweet. So yeah, we off roaded it.

We drove on the beach with it and we drove it all the way home. So I think we did 5000 K's or

just over in you know 10 days place and.

Very. Great.

Everything works on that card. The icons cold, the cruise

works, the subtank works like there's just just nothing, but it doesn't work. Do you prefer that over the

page? It's a very good question, Luca.

You know how much you love. Park been wondering this a lot

recently. The page is more refined and

quicker and more torque. You know it's got more power out

of it. More talk.

The page has a BS in an airbags and traction control and you know it is a more modern feeling and faster car benefit towing 3 tonne tow capacity out of the page.

Prado has this beautiful honesty about it.

There's no electronics, there's no BS, there's no air bags, there's just nothing complex about it.

It's narrow, it's got a great turning circle.

You can park it in any car parking spot.

It'll do pretty much everything you want to do off road.

It's and you're not worried about it because there's no paint on it. So you just sort of stuff you

don't you're not stressed about it.

Not going to scratch my bull bar on my bumper or whatever.

In in comparison, what years of pageant comparisons to the product? Two.

So it's the very last of that first shape.

The 03 was the new curve. You get 120 series Prados.

The pages are 2010. So what 90s?

No, Yeah. But yeah.

Look, honestly, I've been really thinking, God, do I sell the page and keep the Prado? It owes me way less money.

And it pretty much does the same thing.

It's almost due for Club Regio in a couple of years, which is cheaper to run. And you kind of happy you're

chucking stuff in it because you're not so precious about it.

So not that my page is Immaculate, but it is, it is presentable. You know, it's it's it's not,

it's a nice looking car. So I sort of went ohm an R&R in

the end I thought, oh, I think the safety stuff and the more towing and the better powers won me over with the page.

I think I'll probably stay put and just sell the Prado.

And what's the total capacity of the Prado?

I think it's 2 1/2 tonne not it's still OK like it would still tow my caravan fine bit just a bit less overtaking an uphill sort of power compared to the page like page you can sit on with my caravan 110 and it's it eats it up.

It's totally fine Prada. You just you'd feel it a little

more, but the law look, if I didn't have the page 100%, I'd keep product. But you'll have no trouble

selling that product. No, exactly.

That's the other thing. Like, I'll make, I'll make some

money on it. And yeah, I can't.

I mean, in an ideal world, I thought, oh, do I just keep it and put on club plates along with everything else?

Then I'm like, oh, when are you gonna use it?

You know this is crazy. So what did you get out of a

tank on it? It's for with the main tank and

the sub tank I think it took about it was $210.00 ish every

fill. If you filled up both tanks from

I think the sub tanks 40 or 50 litres and the main is the rest, you get about 1000 out of all of it. 1000 K out of all of it,

yeah. It's not.

It's not about at all. And.

The main tank we we were getting 600 or just over.

We could. We could have got 650R.

Probably 650 year and the sub tank you get about another 400 ish. Yeah, yeah.

So it's a pretty good range. That you keep them both full?

Or is there No, no, no, you can just.

And even that's really simple, like you, you open up, there's just one fuel flap like normal and there's just two holes.

One says subtank and one says main tank.

So he used to fill one or the other or both or whatever you want. And then you just click between

them. There's just a switch on the

dash and it just eliminates which which one you're in that gauge or that gauge. OK.

That's a really very simple system.

Was that factory? Every Prado Prado 90 series and

even the next as far as I'm aware.

All photos have the main tank and the sub tank and that was one of the gripes. The guy that I bought off the

original owner said he he ordered a new Prado but didn't want to wait for it. You know, it was just taking

forever. So he said, look, I just

couldn't wait anymore and I went and bought a Pajero Sport Luca, our favourite. What an idiot.

I know, but he said yeah, one of my gripes is the Pajero Sports only got like a 70 litre tank, he said the Prado I can get 110 litres at 120 litres in it. So he was gonna put a long range

tank in the Pajero Sports. Besides the lights, those

uptakes just to turn off. I mean, if the lights don't

deter you. Yeah.

So yeah, and you know, I recommend those cars and you know, you you jump online and the V sixes were pretty tough and they only made those 96979899 like all those first of that shaped prados. They were all Sixers.

I think they even did a 4 cylinder something or other.

But the diesel only came out in 2000, I think, so it was only the last two years of that early shape where you could even order a diesel. So there's not that many diesels

compared to V sixes, but you still see the V sixes with three 400,000, you know, still ticking.

Toyota. Hashtag Toyota.

So yeah, recommended for first Gen Prado.

If you want one, let me know. It's going to be up for sale

very soon. How much Ed.

I am going to ask $10,000 for that.

I'll give you 6 tomorrow. I know you will.

And they're. Yeah, they're buying anymore.

Cars to look at. Yeah, no more cars for me.

I'm done. 10. Grand offload.

Snorkels got CB radio, it's got Bridgestone KO2 tyres on it.

So it's been driven by Ed. By me.

It's value. So that's Prado that's already

on that is a scam or whatever else.

Have I done nothing because I've been away haven't really done anything else. We did see we because when

you're away you get on Facebook marketplace, you know, you see what's in the local area and there was an SLK 2:30, you know, compressor, the first ever SLK in white in Brisbane with 150 something case on it. No Reg needed.

The roof wasn't working. Needed a couple of things done

to it, but $3800 and the Tom and Matt and I were sitting there going bloody hell, like that was $100,000 car.

It's 3 eights and it actually looked really presentable.

And Tommy was like, oh, I can fix the roof.

He likes electronic stuff. And I was like, choose if that's

still available when we go back through Brisbane, I'll be going to have a look at that. But.

It. It's sold.

Yeah, I know it could have, you know, it sold so we didn't get that chance. But I just thought, well, that's

a lot of that's a lot of cool little sports car for not a lot of money. And you you buy and sell cars

quite a bit. And I've always had this

question, if you were to buy a car Interstate that was running and driving, but obviously the seller would lapse registration because they're selling it to, you know, you in Victoria, how do you go about getting a transport permit?

Because I was looking at it when I bought the MX5 and everything said if you're buying the car in NSW, you need to have a NSW licence to get the permit. And just obviously that doesn't

work for us. So do you know what the process

is? I haven't done heaps of

Interstate permitting, but I know that if you're bringing it back to Victoria, I think you can get a Victorian permit to go, you know, that one directional sort of thing, like I'm going just from here to here.

Other times they've told me the Victorian permit is valid in Vic, but it's not valid, you know, into state.

But years ago I drove a Land Cruiser from Vicki up to the top of, you know, NT and that was on a permit that was an unregistered car. And that was, again, it was

going from there to there. It was bought from here, going

to there. So I drove the entire way up

doing this permit and I checked it out.

Now you know, it's valid. And the cops pulled me over

right up the top of NT on the on a Outback highway.

And yeah, I showed them the thing and they like, Yep, cool.

No, that makes sense. You know, they just want to look

at the cruiser cause it was the only 60 series they'd seen in years with no rust are all destroyed up there and they're like Gee, this is clean, you know?

When you ran down the window, they seen it was you.

Yeah, I said it was good and I batted my eyelids.

No, it's Mr Bunting. Sorry, Sir, surely had.

Problem, no worries, be on your way.

So yeah, I believe it depends on the state as to what they let you do on those permits, but it it can be done.

Oh no, Alan, we're gonna get it. I've missed a few episodes, so I

think last time we discussed the MX5, but it's it intermittently gives me clutch issues. You know, one of the things I

ended up changing it was the master cylinder and slave cylinder. And you know, when I initially

changed it out and bled it out, it was absolutely fine.

But occasionally, like going into third, it almost feels like you. It's like a gated kind of thing

and you're stuck at the gate. He was trying to push it

through. It'll kind of grind, but

obviously you just waited a beat and it'll go through the 3rd Um, I've, I've tried a number of things like, you know, again, changing out the, the hydraulics rebleeding and that sort of thing. I had to go with actually

extending the UM pedal. What do you call it?

Adjusting the clutch, I guess. Yeah, all the videos are sore

and adjusting the clutch. We're from people in either

America or Europe and screw you guys, I guess I could say is well, because they they, they steering wheel is obviously on the left hand side of the car and the pedal box, the clutch pedal is close to the door. It's, I'm not saying it's easy

to access, but it's much easier to access behind the clutch pedal when it's, you know, closer to the outside of the car. Whereas without, you know, right

hand drive stuff, it is very much deep into the car and being a fat man, it is not easy to get to.

Like I'm I'm pretty sure I bruised a rib trying to get down there and, you know, holding, holding myself up on like the little entry ledge of the car getting into that area and then undoing the little bolt and then, you know, loosening it.

It did make a difference. Thankfully.

The last thing I want to do is like go for all that effort and then it would not make a difference.

It did make a difference. But as I was trying to like my

sister's place to show my brother in law because he drives the car a bit here and there as well.

Look how smooth it shifts. Now I go into third and goes

grind like damn it obviously I think.

Now that I've narrowed it more and more down, maybe.

The clutch. It could be the clutch just worn

out. Could be the clutch, yeah, that

would be kind of the next thing. Or it could be the clutch fork

and the spring kind of that brings the fork, allows it to pivot. That's kind of worn or faulty.

And both those things would require me to, you know, do the clutch anyway because it happens so intermittently.

Like I like to put it around because especially with the exhaust, I don't want to attract unnecessary attention.

And if you try and kind of keep it, you know, shift up into third at about 40K an hour, that's kind of really where it wants to, like, block you out and not really shift in unless you until you again, give it a beat and then it slides in.

Or if you're under or above that speed, it slides right in.

Excuse the innuendo. So it's just a, yeah, it's a

weird kind of issue that's played me.

I feel like it's probably a symptom of previous owners not necessarily, you know, being good with their cars and obviously driving the manual. Like, they probably shouldn't be

holding down the clutch, you know, whenever they're full, stop, that sort of stuff. Well, I, I had a similar thing

happened to my laser and it was, and I was like, it's it was second gear and then it was think third gig got bad.

Like what is going on at to you know, you know, really, you know, kind of not force it, but take it easy to get the car of the year. Took it to mechanic and the

mechanic said the clutches all the way it's used it's full length of adjustment. It's your clutch.

And sure enough, they took the clutch.

There was not much left of it and then change the clutch was sweet. Sweet as Yeah, because a lot of

times, like, I'm not saying I'm the best in the world, I'd say I'm an average driver. That's pretty reasonable.

I think depending on how well you know the car and how well you can work with it, you can kind of get through these issues just by being a little more careful or as a person that's not as familiar with the car or doesn't give a crap, like her friend Christian. You just, you know, go there

like he, sorry, Christian, throw you under the bus.

His Mazda 3 required a new clutch, and his driving got worse after he got the new clutch because the old clutch gave him that little extra bit of slip.

And so he could kind of just be lazy with it because the new clutch had no slip. You know, it's fresh.

Yeah, he was. He basically busted one of the

engine mounts, sorry the transmission mount, which need to be replaced afterwards. Well.

Thankfully, he's now moved on to a Mitsubishi ASX, which also surprisingly manual. Yeah, apparently, yeah.

I don't know because his he got from his aunt and his auntie loves manual cars as well. Yeah, so she's actually upset.

I think the most recent car she moved to, she couldn't get a manual, so she's kind of kicking her, but she wanted a new cast.

So he's he drives that one better.

I don't know if it's just him being more careful because he's got himself into a new car or it's that maybe the the transmissions on the Mazda's require a little bit more finesse, I guess. But that's that's probably the

next step because again, the mass is still for sale.

I want to sell the car as good as it can be.

That's just a I never want to hand somebody expired.

I apologise for having the limit of I made that I made.

That had an undeniable stutter. I made that very clear that it

was a lemon. OK, I talk so much crap on that

car even before I sold it, but I saw I saw BFL icons without interiors getting sold for 1000 so I feel like you know.

And it was like, I got my money's worth.

It yeah, so that's that's probably like we'll probably be the final thing I will you know, probably price out the clutch job and kind of get that done and while the mechanics there they can also see anything wrong with the clutch fork issues.

You know there'll be no new throw out bearing part of the clutch kit. So hopefully that'll be

resolved. Apart from that it's going fine.

The DMX is going pretty well. That's been my primary use of

commute recently, the STI just sitting there looking sad.

So maybe to what is it is the picnic happenings?

Picnic. Yeah, yeah, I think I'll bring

the stuff to the picnic. Yeah, that'd be.

Nice. Yeah, that's that's all.

We need to register for that. We do.

Yeah, yeah. Toyota car.

Toyota Owners Club of Victoria. TOC it is is a link there.

There's also in your Under Car Club magazine, there's a.

Magazine. Yeah, it came out.

I saw that, Yeah, yesterday. Chad updates with you.

Yeah, it's been a minute since I've been on the show, but I did a couple of track days in the Civic.

I did a day at Winton. What was that a few months ago?

Yeah, really good. I, that was the first time

testing the cage and I found that after a few laps it definitely got loose and I just had to re tighten the bolt and yeah, it was good. I just tightened it as much as I

could. And yeah, did a PB at Winton,

which is awesome because that's always been a tricky, tricky track. It's a really draws track

Winston, isn't it like. Yeah, yeah.

Draws really technical. You got a bit of spade, It's got

a bit of everything. And yeah, it really requires

like a lot of finesse because you can really cock it up and end up in there somewhere. And then I did attract our

colder actually last Friday in the Civic.

So they've started doing like so the national circuit days there.

There's a there's a company called Trap something track days. Maybe it's a track for days.

Isn't chat oh it's similar to track for days?

I don't think it is though. It's I don't know these days are

I don't know people, I don't know.

So, but yeah, it was, it was a good track and I definitely spun out quite a few times and one of the fastest straits in I think Australia that they were saying like you maybe one of the longest. I think, I think that quarter

you actually get to go on the on the actual drag strip that stretch. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. And the last corner is a hair

pin before, if anyone's been out watching, you know, drags or drifting there. But yeah, the last corner is a

hairpin, which then leads on to the drag strip.

And as you come onto the drag strip, the tyres just grip and it just like sends you wherever it's going to send you.

And it's like you really have to brace for it.

And yeah, it was, it was really fun though.

I, I had a, you had a couple of sketchy moments, but yeah, I had a good, good, good session. Yeah.

Took a day off from work to do it.

It was awesome. It was really, really.

Yeah, exactly. Hunter is still the only track

I've actually sprinted the scamp around.

And when I say Sprint we I mean all things are.

It's relative, but I had a lot of.

Fun. Yeah, Yeah, you do the full

circuit, David. I did, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, nice, nice.

We're talking some years ago now.

Yeah, OK. It's good for nerve.

It's changed at all or if it's yes so.

I think it has changed me. Yeah, OK.

Is it true the F1 years and years ago was that colder park they used to actually race there?

Ohm, I don't, Yeah, I don't, I don't think so.

I know they did V eights there. I think they might have done

Indie Cars at 1:00. .0 Wow around like the Thunderdome.

Yeah. Hmm, yeah, nice.

Yeah, because that was having a chat with the old fellas.

He was telling me like I wasn't always at Albert Park, it was just been at Sandown. Yeah, a few other spots.

It wasn't an ark in the 50s as well and before that it was at Phillip Island. Phillip.

Phillip, you didn't mention hold on, call me boss.

Surprise though, don't know. Never being called.

Yeah, it was definitely been Adelaide F1.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The the the Adelaide are still

pissed at us that we took it. But it was so much fun going

when it was in Adelaide. Gee, we had some great times

over there. It was very cool.

Hopefully one day again we'll see what else.

So been trying to fix the Terrago the last few days now and I've got ended up having to get a couple of different steering columns to sort of work out all the bits that I need to make it work because I had like an automatic column that didn't work and then I had to get another one with it.

Bull came barrel set and all that.

And eventually I've put it all in.

It starts and everything, but I've messed up the key and barrel, which which I which means I have to take it back out. But I know what the problem is

because when you when you have the key on the off position, the steering doesn't lock. And I didn't really Jerry to

that when I first put it in right.

And then when I turn the car on the locks.

So I went to drive and I'm like, Oh, it's done here.

Finally, I can drive it again. And then I went to drive and the

steering wheel just locked up and I was like, oh fuck it.

And yeah, I just had to drive it right back into the spot that it was in. And I'm like, well, that's

another day's job. So I've I've kind of given up on

that for the time. Being, at least you know what's

wrong with it. Yeah, finally, finally got to

the bottom of that. And yeah, Sylvia hasn't had much

love in the last year. I don't know, couple of months,

about a month. I drove it out to get dinner

with a friend and that was fun. We went went for a nice little

drive to the northern suburbs and, well, the border of Mexico even maybe. It's been fourth.

You bring it to the north. That's yes, that's, that's the

rule. Yeah, that's it.

What else? I went car shopping for the wife

with her last weekend and we tried a few different things.

And actually they, you'll be pleased to hear there's the HIV.

So runner up, pull her as I run her up, but it isn't the first position at the moment. She also test driver take cross,

which wasn't really that hot of a car and just kind of felt like a tin can on wheels really. The HRV was awesome.

I drive it too and yeah, it's a really good value for, you know, what you get sort of thing and what you pay.

Central or hybrid? Was a petrol she considered the

hybrid but it's just another 10 on top I think, or just about 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Deal on them actually. Yeah, we might have to look into

it anyway that I gotta say the the service at the Honda impeccable like maybe the best dealership service I've ever received. Which SN?

The one on Keller Rd And I just found out all the Honda dealerships are also franchise. Sorry not franchise one.

What are they called? Like their own by corporate or

maybe not all, but at least that one was like they are not a dealership. What was that?

They're an agent. An agent.

For yeah, that's right, yeah, yeah.

Which was cool, though. They really, sort of really

stepped up and, you know, they're really eager to show you the car and, you know, talk through and all that stuff.

Yeah, we're gonna just go back to Skoda this weekend to Chess Driver comic. Yeah, they've.

Got a good deal on on on the run.

Out yeah, that's that was the thing they got run out and also X demo cars though, like a .9% finance, which is a free loan

essentially. So yeah, we'll do that this

weekend and then probably make a decision and get rid of her existing car. Three cylinder the the same as

the engine as the T cross or the one point. 4 You can get it in

two engines. It comes with the three cylinder

turbo 1 litre and then you can also get it with the the Fabia Monte Carlo engine which is 1.5 turbo, I think 4 cylinder.

Yeah, one point. 41 could be a 1.2 I I can't remember exactly

right now, but yeah there is one that has like more.

It's like a 130 Tiesi or 120 TS someone that yeah, but.

Three cylinder in the I've had a T cross for a couple of times when the caddies been serviced and it yeah it's it's it's it's OK it's OK but the thing that really grinds my gears is the auto stop start being a three cylinder it's inherently unbalanced the engine yeah you really feel it when that cuts in and cuts out and. You can't permanently turn it

off, which is another thing you're always after you get in and just turn it off straight away.

Like put your seat belt on. Yeah, that's.

Good. The other Honda, yeah, I'm

definitely pushing her towards the Honda.

Yeah, I, I loved it. I, I haven't been in a modern

Honda in quite a while. And yeah, it was an awesome car.

And the rear seat, it's a four seater.

There's only two seats in the rear, which is really quirky, I thought. And yeah, yeah, we'll see.

We'll see how we go this weekend, I think, and then we'll make a decision. And it's kind of it for me.

Nice, man. Maddie, what's going on with

you, man? Not much, dude, not much.

Obviously did the the big full drive trip with Eduardo that was, that was a lot of fun. And then, yeah, that's been

pretty much it on my and I don't.

So I had the, the, the, the oil leaks on the, on the typhoon fix. So that's very, that's that's

all good. Now, moving on to tonight's

topic. Now look at one of the reasons

we're going on the show for tonight is the, the question has to be asked. Do you think that the new

Commodores and Falcons are currently dual cab utes like the owners of them have decided to go dual cab utes because they're, they're kind of practical, kind of you can tow, they can do everything they can do a bit more, IE 4 driving.

Do you think that these are going to be like the, you know, common Falcons of of today and then like the HSV and FPV stuff is going to be like your Raptors and and stuff like that?

Do you think that's that's it's just kind of instead of being cars and sedans, it's it's going to, you know, joke abuse?

Do you do you, do you see that's where Australia is going because considering they are our best selling cars in the country?

I wanted to get your thoughts and opinions.

So we'll start with you, Luka, because obviously you've got you've got a dual and you've had you've had a few in succession.

Do you see that happening or do you think that's just?

To be honest, I think the departure of The Commodores and Falcons and there's just a gap in the market now with like a quicker family car to go. You know, obviously you gotta go

like a bee Mara Merck, there's no real naughty 5060K super quick family car anymore. And obviously, yeah, that's

probably is would be a contributing factor as to why a lot more people buying it. And just I think the modern

youths now compared to even like, you know, say six or seven years ago, there are a lot different.

It's funny because actually more expensive than what, you know, Commodore or Falcon would have been.

Hmm. Obviously.

Yeah, there is lower range Hyundai is actually bringing to you. OK, I see.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Confirmed, but Hyundai is also

doing it as well so. You to definitely dominant in

the market now yeah it's either you're buying a like you know golf or like an class work to get something that'll be quickie or yeah and a very expensive European car but yeah I don't think they'll ever get to what you know FPV HSV were but definitely dominate the market. You seem absolutely everywhere.

I think today I think people are just willing to take loans and just get what they want really. Like, you know, 20-30 years ago

people would just done. Obviously things are cheaper

too. Yeah, I don't know.

I I can't say it becoming what Commodores Falcons were, but definitely, I mean, what other options are there?

Well, do you see like, for example, a Ranger Raptor becoming a future classic? Because it's.

It's I don't think so because the truth through models too quick nowadays too. So yeah, I don't think it's,

yeah, I just can't these days. Obviously very different, but I

can't see it becoming like an FPV.

That's my opinion. The rest of you guys would,

would, would you agree with that or would you, would you think that's a that's, you know, still a bit off?

I reckon that the standard sedan buyers, they definitely have as you said, pivoted to the Duke cabs, but anyone that wanted the more for more performance oriented thing has probably gone in more different directions. Like they have probably settled

for something like a Mustang even though it's not a full size sedan. That's where they're going to

get their VA performance. They don't want something German

as Lucas said. Otherwise, again, if you want to

do something because these guys are all stupid, let's be honest, do you buy yourself like an F series or like a Silverado, you know, a Ram 1500, that sort of thing.

You're going to buy something that's really, really just excessive, you know, obviously shows that you have some kind of self esteem issues with, yeah, you know, your department down there. But that that's kind of the

direction you can go in. Because there's not, as Luke

said in the what we would originally put as the attainable range of like sub $65,000 cars. There's nothing really available

that can kind of do that stuff. Like you can get hatchbacks and

if you wanna golf, that's like 73 starting now.

Hmm. So.

There's yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing, you know,

reasonably priced for that kind of function anymore.

You basically have to go big. And when you start getting into

the bigger territory and if your budget allows it, you'll just go something ridiculous at that point.

And if you want, you know, the the whole if you're the type of person to buy an automatic FPV, you're a bad person first of all, but you're you know, again, if you buy an Essex, I can understand, but like if you're buying an F6 bimanual, come on, let's enjoy your car. You know, unless you.

Anymore. If you're specifically setting

up for drag, that's one thing, but that's a separate discussion. But usually if you were that

kind of a person, something like, you know, a V8 RAM wouldn't be, you know, the worst option in the world, that sort of thing. It's just a ridiculous amount of

money for something you can't even park properly, you know, especially if you're in on Lygon street.

But it's, it's, it's kind of the thing you do.

Otherwise you have to go something entirely different, like you got something European or you gotta go like a Mustang or something. The Stinger was nice, but they

took that away, you know? They can say the most likely you

must things like 8090. K yeah, they're they're very

expensive as well, like there's. No, like 4050 sixty K family

car. That's relatively quick.

Apart from that though I think they won't be classics.

You've got your land cruisers and patrols which are still highly regarded in the market. Price wise too.

I can't say the new Gen Raptors, the new Hilux Rogues and all that stuff just becoming classics.

Yeah and my cars are just too modern now to be what cars were 304020 even years ago to become classics I think.

I think the word classic in the car in today is different to what it once was. Well, on the island we pretty

much, I mean, it can attest as we just saw lane creases like it was, yes, lane cruises. There was fair few pages.

There was troopies. No, no, no, yeah, it was it was

pretty much Prados and Land Cruisers and pages.

And I mean there's a few like massive like big Rams and stuff.

And I said a few Raptors and things, but the majority of it was all old beaten up Land Cruisers that were just chugging along. Why it is and is it true the new

79 series have come in order? Have you seen?

That is a good question, I have to find that out.

They just want to see the video other day as they said Toyotas bought our new auto or I think the auto from the Lux.

It's in the Land Cruiser, the first one ever.

Yeah, do some Googling. So what about the rest of you

guys do do you think that we'll do something with that or?

I think that cars that become classics are cars that are lusted after, you know? The, the, you know, so if kids

now, you know, if your dad's got, if you're 10 and your dad's got a range of Raptor and mum's gonna Ranger, Raptor, whatever, you know, and it's cool and it's got stripes and it goes like stink. And it's like the best of the

Rangers that'll be collectible. You know, someone in 30 years

will, will restore one of those and take it to a car show and whatever. Oh, the Raptor, you've got the

Raptor. They were so big when they came

out, you know? Printed on a poster.

That chicken hang on your wall? Not that anyone has posted these

days, really. I think that you know.

Scotty. I'm sort of like kids today.

I don't think they have posted. Maybe a Stranger Things poster

or something. No, my, my cousins are posters.

One of them's got a a one piece poster, the other ones got a King Kong poster. He's really into King Kong

versus King Kong Godzilla right now.

It's either that or like Roblox or some shit these days.

Just Google it to look up a speck of a 70 series.

You can now buy the 70 series in a 2.8 litre turbo diesel

automatic. Make it automatic automatic.

But the V8 4.5 litres still Manuel anyway, yeah?

Yeah, Mexican, yeah, so alright, so do you think that in about 20 years time when kids. Yeah, I think, I think an old

Ranger Raptor that's in great nick and you know, not destroyed will be collectible because it's because it's a car that's a bit idolised now. So why wouldn't it be down the?

Train so that the way cars with electric and all all that stuff combustion out the door, you're probably onto something I guess erred. Yeah, I mean.

This could actually be the loss of arrangement.

We say that's, you know, good petrol.

Could be, and I think it. I think values of well regarded

petrol and diesel cars will hold strong as long as fuel is cheap enough because people, well, I don't wanna go electric.

I'm gonna keep my Raptor, I'm gonna keep my Pajero, whatever it is that does the job you want it to do.

So I think values will will hold pretty strong until fuel tips the other way. And like it fuels 6 bucks a

litre. Well, hey, you're not, you're

not getting around in something like a Raptor that that uses that much daily. You know, it becomes a weekend

toy if anything. I I'd still pay 6 bucks a leader

any day, then stand in line like you're in some kind of Soviet nation for electricity. Every mortgage my house just

keep driving petrol. Just, you know, just it's like,

oh, I need to charge my car or I'm gonna sit here for the next three hours. Well, everyone else gets their

charge done. So, you know, I I feel like

people put up with a lot because I feel some of the parts of the electric I guess system is not up to spec and a stock going to be. Spec I'll be driving the Scamp

and the city and the Mini and all my economical small cars.

Well, it's funny that you say that because, you know, as as a teacher who teaches 17 and 18 year olds, you know, you know, on a daily basis, the cars that they want will one, they're not really into cars as much as they as much as when I was in high school, like, you know, it was like, what was what are you getting in and stuff now? Just kind of like, Oh yeah, like

the kids haven't have a have a one to get lost.

But the kids that do are into either golfs genuine and being genuine, like they're into like GTR and stuff or they're into kind of going off road in full drives, like, like, you know, like lane crews and patrols and things.

So, so maybe, maybe there is a case for like a really nice 80 series or 100 series or 200 series to be a, you know, a future collectible because it's a Oh yeah, I remember when my dad took me to, you know. Is wrong.

Kakadu, we took, we took the big 200 and you know, it was, it was, yeah, it was, it was a big, was a big trip and and, you know, I wanna go, I wanna go floating.

And good thing about forward driving, which I really came to respect when when I went over there is like you can actually use your vehicle. You can have a bit of fun with

it, you know, like, you know, on a trail and going up steep rocks and all sorts of stuff, which is it's, it's it's fun.

I get the appeal. So yeah, you can, you can

definitely like we always say, Oh, you, you, you build, you build memories with cars and, and one of the cars you build memories is yeah, you fast car. We took it here.

We took it there, but you know, off roading you, you build memories as well, you know, and and that Prado had like that was a great guy and that that that will, you know, build memories with me for a very long time, even if you know.

Even you can still own it, Matthew.

OK I look look 6 grand making the offline and.

Let's accept 6 grand. And it's yours.

That's what the where they all get a roadworthy for that.

But yeah, so, so getting getting back to it though, do you generally think that these, you know, in 20 years, OK, like the Raptors probably got it, probably got a case to case they have there, but like like a really nice like 200 series in 20. Years electable Land Cruisers in

Australia go hand in hand. There is a big love for cruises

in this country and any cruiser that's that's a good example of good specimen in years to come will be collectible.

I really love what is done with keeping the 79th series.

Basic, it just works. It just works and they sell for

a motza and you know you're lying.

Reliability. Yeah, it's available.

You could draw like. They're not particularly nice.

They're nice, but they're just a bloke scar, you know what I mean? Yeah, like they're built to do a

job and that is all they do, pepper spray, and they do it well, you are right. They didn't try reinvent the

world. Sure, they've added electric

windows, but. Not on the base work mate.

Yeah, not, not on the work mate. Yeah.

And I like that they've kept it consistent halfway through and obviously it's still working because they're still selling.

Correct, Scott, Yeah. What do you stand on that?

Would would you, would you agree that this is where we're heading with those or, you know, they are kind of the new future, future cars to aspire to? Think it is everyone's is all

about full driving seems to be massive compared to what it used to be like. From working in super cheap and

then moving into Autobahn and just seeing what people were buying and just watching the changes and just all drives just took off. Everyone wanted to buy the lift

kits, the wheels, all the accessories to have on your car.

So it's moved away from driving on the streets and having your car low to having something that's actually jacked up and a lot higher. To drive over things.

Yeah, which is what they want to do.

And that seems to be I guess. It seems to be a mental illness

is what it seems kids like. They offer tyres, making noise,

driving them like cars, nearly rolling them over on roundabouts. I've had enough.

There's plenty of places where you can where you can take your 4 wheel drive and do things for free.

It's not gonna cost you. Problem is Scotty, the problem

is I live in the northern suburbs and people take their full drives to footpaths. Yeah, they do.

That's going to be normal. But they're going to do that in

any car because I don't know how to drive anyway.

It's true. It's true.

It's it's everybody in GQS with barrel swaps taking off the front sway bar so they can lift the third wheel.

Yeah, like there's. Bubble those things your video

that there's a there's this current Instagram called the party bus. It's an old JQ with the barrel

swap Bill Modart and he went down the quarter mile and this thing was unlike almost one wheel for like ages.

Just he launched it and I think he ran like a 12.

I'm going to show you this video.

His car. He's actually like just on the

angle and he's got an end at like in car Cam.

He's just like literally up in the air one wheel almost the whole strip. You just launches this thing.

What the hell? That sounds pretty cool thing.

There's a guy, I think he's in WWE's got a LS swapped Colorado.

That's cool. Yeah, there's people doing some

cool things. I just, yeah, I again, living in

the north of you see a lot of things, motorbikes on footpaths and that sort of thing, skewers on footpaths with that number plates obviously doing the wrong thing.

So you get angry about this stuff.

But you know, I think as long as people keep in the car culture alive it it is. It is definitely a lot of the

younger blows that are getting into their licences, getting something that they can definitely off road and turning into a less camping experience. I personally don't follow it or

don't understand it. I'd rather live in my own house.

It's nice with the air conditioning, you know, I don't want to get, you know, maybe it's because where I'm from originally where we had to go out into the fields to take a deuce, you know, so I already got my fill of that.

Don't need it anymore, but. So you go, Yeah.

No, I was just gonna say like it is, it is like the things that are kind of available to the to the youth is what they're going to aspire to get and kind of build.

So one of those is definitely, yeah, like the views and the four drives. Because I see a lot of people at

his job and Rangers driving Hiluxes driving, you know, D Maxes and Colorados and, and if you're lucky, you got a 70 series on your plates and you know, and there and you know, they're all lifted. They all got muddies.

They're all, you know, you know what that guy said to Paul?

Look, it's a lifestyle. It's.

A. Lifestyle.

Lifestyle. And and they don't care about

they don't care about speed anymore cause all these things are slow as and yeah, you know, they're just plodding along doing they're singing their noisy for.

You wanna look tough, correct. That's.

The it's look tough and then I just go full.

I guess the thing with the other four draughts to the very customizable in terms of engine swaps and stuff.

So yeah, you can have a lot of funny one, but what I can't fathom is seeing people on red P plates with the reptile or a new Land Cruiser. Just I say, I think used to say

as much of that when when we were younger, I guess 10 when it when I was young, 10 years ago, the first cars were always second hand like now people just paying loan by Raptor.

The, the VMAX figures just came out recently and it was, you know, from this month last year, 1.2 million cars have been sold

into Australia, which is a record.

You know, last month was a record for March and you just go, I mean, given fuel prices and home loans and cost of living or whatever. And yet we're still, you know,

breaking records in terms of new car sales.

It's sort of doesn't fit money coming from.

The people too now, I think they're just like young kids, you know? Just like Dia bought home, I'm

buying a car. Hmm, yeah, there might be a bit

of that. It's like opportunity cost of Oh

well homes are so the median house pricing and I think $950,000 I heard today. So if if that's the case, they

go, well, bugger that, I'm just gonna, I'm learning, OK, I'm just gonna have some fun and. It's how does that say you can

you can live in a car, but you can't drive a house?

Maybe, maybe that's where they're at.

Just like it's too hard basket so God damn it I'll buy a Raptor. And that's why they're buying,

buying the youth so you can put, you know, nice little tent on the back. Yeah.

Yeah, I saw one of those ones with the pop pop up one.

It's got the ladder you climb up onto the roof.

And it's, yeah, like a hard shell rooftop.

Tent you can bolt a toilet seat to the corner and just, you know, in the morning, just get on it.

If you got a real vendetta against forward drives, what is it? Make covenant soup.

You'll love. It but this is this is really

rich come from the guards driving D Max.

Car drive a dual cab Ute that's at 24,000 K has never had a DPF light. Alright, some of us are sensible

on the right. It's true.

It's true. Yeah, I've, I've helped my uncle

move twice. I help myself move, you know,

Toad tow trailers. I've done things, but I also

tell you the Saint Vincent's hospital in the underground OHS above ground multi Storey car park and I'm like an inch off the the roof as well, so. Yeah.

No one. I did own A80 series, so six or

seven years ago now I was at High Point car park and this thing was 35 four inch lift cut up the ranch right heading out.

I went to go down like it seems to be close and actually just the car to the roof. So angle going down was

different angle going up. So I had to reverse up, let all

the air out. I tried again.

I'm still touching. Fuck, what do I do here?

Go. Backwards.

Yeah, Lucky had some tools in the car.

Actually had to take off my Jack stand that was protruding much down so I went to the closest survey, pumped up the tyres and I was alright. But yeah, after that I never

went in underground car park again.

Paul got this car park. People look at me, I'm like,

fuck, this is embarrassing, come on back, fuck you.

If I make it up, I'll make it down.

Yeah. Yeah.

Had a customer that had one of those roof boxes and had a basement garage in a house in Hawthorne.

The cat did not fit. Every time she tried it didn't

change. I fixed it more times.

I reckon brunch every time I I said to her.

It's just not gonna. Fit.

You keep trying but it's like. It's hurt books.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shifts in the doors, Creek and

things change. This time will fit.

She's hoping, hoping against hope.

I saw the BMW M2 I I sure I've said this story to a 75 year old lady from Brighton and she had her she had an underground, you know, big garage under the house and she kissed him two is quite low with the spoiler in the angle and her previous cars a little higher. The M2 would would graze as it

went down. So she got the concrete guys out

to take off a few mil of the. Way.

So she could get in her M2 and I was like priorities.

Actually love it like that. Who?

Respect, respect. Better than scraping every

single time and then having you know somebody to repaint the front. Bumper down the concrete.

That, that, that. That's something you broaden

could do that. Yeah, that's, that's, you know,

you got priorities, right? Yeah.

Alright gents, is it time for the car quiz?

Go one. Quiz, quiz.

Alright, let me get the quiz ready for you guys.

So phone is here so they cannot see.

So just just so you guys, so in case you think there's any collusion going on or anything. Alright, yeah, that's.

Correct this mirror behind you. Yeah, Cartoon car quiz, 10

questions plus some bonus questions.

You know the rules. I think we came to the bottom of

the of the answer of there's a possibility that those cars might be one day collectible, but we we will see.

We'll have to touch back on that at another point.

Question one which Australian made car had cane toads used as part of their TV ad commercial? Hmm.

Anything times. Driving my car.

They used 2 cane toads talking to each other in this ad.

I remember the ad when it came out.

It was the Ford Falcon FG, the EcoBoost 4 cylinder and the ad was these two cane toads were talking and they're sitting on the road and basically they will talk about weird things anyway.

They like all the cocking. We better get off the road and

one and the other one came towards it to the other Canton Ohi you hear that it's a 4 cylinder.

It's it it won't be here for a while.

We got plenty of time to talk anyway. 2 seconds, 2 seconds

later it gets run over and it's like and then the ad was like Ford EcoBoost the power, the four cylinder but power over six. So sorry.

I'll say it was quite a funny quite a funny commercial question 2 Honda cut prices on most models here in Australia, except it increased its price on one model.

OK, five. Chad says 5.

I go 1500. 1500, says Scotty and David.

I'll go sit in the half. 7 1/2. Thousand that is not 7. 7 1/2

cars. Exactly and 1/2.

That's it, 1/2 cup. The answer was 2300.

So Scotty gets the chocolates there?

No closest to study. They only sold the base model

and the gears there. Bonus question how many

territories did Ford make in total in Australia?

2.1 million. 200. Million.

Trillion. Billion.

OHS far out. After 2.1 million, says Head.

Well, it would. I'll give you a hint, you're

wrong. Is he wrong in like the closer

or? Looks like really wrong or just

a little bit. Wrong.

Really, really wrong. Really wrong.

I'll go 250K. 250K, says Chad. I'll go 150. 150, says David.

Make him from while I'm gonna check and say 320. 320 is a

Scott. I'm gonna go with 540. 40 and

Alan. 85,000 please. 85,000 they sold 178,214 of them so that

makes David closest yeah 150 what I'm.

Yeah. That was a bit of a bit of.

A little. Just a little bit.

Previous question. Let's see them everywhere.

You know, I thought that there was a lot of them.

Imagine. Imagine if we did have that many

far out. It feels like it.

It does feel. Swollen territories to anybody,

just take one. Like Oprah.

Oprah, you get a territory. You got a territory.

Yeah. Score check alum Scotty, David

and Luke are all on a point each question 4 the Subaru Legacy Blitzen or Liberty Blitzen as we would have got it was designed with what other car company? Chad.

Chad. Was it the Saab?

Yeah. Scotty, Scotty, you're, you're

in now. Porsche.

Porsche is absolutely correct. Well done.

And and psych correction, we did get the blitz in here.

Did we? Yeah.

There you go. The more the more you know.

At this point. Bonus point Yeah, Question 5.

Which car company had the first no hooning in car commercials edict placed upon them in Australia?

Flicker, Luca. No crooning.

Like add so so so basically. Sort of made.

Yeah, complaint was made and they, they, they got it.

They got it incorrect. Ohm Scott.

But in the next. BMW.

Nine days. No.

No. One left.

A little golf. It wasn't a Golf.

It was Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi.

It was Mitsubishi. Which model?

Bonus question, why was the ad banned?

Ellen. Ellen.

It showed an ever doing some really crap.

Incorrect OHS it's got. It showed the Speedo.

Incorrect. It showed them doing a jump,

getting air. Correct the tail lights of the

Pajaro with driving. Yeah.

That is also incorrect. Well, you're not gonna believe

What Car it is. Is everybody?

Guess I think everybody's. Gonna be manager or something.

Even if you haven't guessed. I haven't guessed the Magna

Ralliart, I hope. You know what?

I'll give you a .5 because you've very close.

David, I'll give you a .5. So that's everybody's guessing

now. Yeah.

So basically it was when the Magna and it's a magnet that made this happen. By the way, the Magna came out

with all drive and they had the, they had that the Commodore and the Falcon lined up on a dirt road and they were going around in the Commodore fucking went sideways and lost traction and crashed. And the magnet with with its all

Dr gripped at a did a 90° turn and went and they said that was encouraging bad driving off on bad roads.

And they brought, they brought in that act to say, you know, no hooning in car in car, right, Because it's a bad influence, because we're such a nanny state and it's because of Mitsubishi Magnus, we know how to share any performance driving.

Magnet. Wow.

Yeah, they had like that that car that they couldn't show anything fun in. So they they had they showed the

speed limit being like low. Yeah, yeah.

Or the one where it's like a funeral and then explosion goes off? Yeah, so you can all thank

Mitsubishi Magnus for something, you know.

Adrian, who's to cover this show?

Have a Magna. He had plenty of Magnus.

Yeah, yeah. Question 6.

Which is the most recent car to come with three wheel nuts on each wheel? All most recent.

Yeah. I mean, I don't something.

Some sort of smart? Yeah, it is the the smarter, the

most recent to have them. Well done.

Ohhh so Chad, So question 7. How many versions of the M3 BMW

M3 have featured A waggon variant?

David. David 2 variant in balance. 3IN.

4. Incorrect.

God. Head.

Head one, it is correct, Edward, that is one official MP3, the yeah, the current one, yeah, it's the first one officially to have an M3 waggon variant. Instagram because I saw a reel

of an M3 waggon ETA 30 being backed off a truck yesterday.

They. Are there's a few?

There's been a few made, but none of none official except the current. Outrageous.

Question 8 Which was the first car company to crash test their cars? Well, he was.

He got dark. And David.

David. I was.

Yeah, David by Abiezer. David, if it's, if it's jumped

into, I think I'm probably wrong, but I was going to say well Volvo. It's incorrect.

Mercedes Benz. That is also incorrect.

Luca Luca Toyota. Toyota is incorrect.

Porsche being left outside. Nothing.

Yeah. I'll say sob.

SOB is incorrect. Good guesses but but yeah, wrong

would have been Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi to be the answer to

everything this quiz. Anyway, I saw that there was

obviously Mitsubishi who hasn't guessed yet.

This is just you guys. Alright, OK, I'm gonna go feat

even though it's not. Correct, that would be the last

of their priorities. This really?

Really can't even make one that doesn't rot.

I'm gonna go Japanese and go Honda.

It's incorrect. It was Audi.

Audi. Audi, Audi first Audi was the

first company to crush tester cars in what decade were they shit? Yeah, That's that's a great

that's a great question. I'd like to ask myself that

question 17. What was that like?

70s was incorrect. 80s. Incorrect.

Scott. Scott.

Those are 90s. Incorrect.

No, it's correct. It's.

I dated. David.

Did we go 60s? No, we haven't had 60, but

that's also incorrect. When will?

They 2000s. Like they didn't exist before

then. They did.

I got this directly from Aldi's website.

So it's got a 20 something. Trust that.

They were known as mindfulness automobile housing.

Someone. Cannot read gallery 19 to 27 and

that, that's big. They're all being crushed and

shot at during World War 2. Is, I think everybody's guessed

right. It was the 1930s.

They were 1938 to be. Exact.

You were like processing them full.

Exactly. Was it safety Purpose.

Also just a goof. I don't know, it's just a

scratch testing in 1930. It just would have been like

this people. Boy, if I hit the gypsy at 40

miles an. Hour.

What happens? Do I get a dent on my car?

Don't worry about the. Gipsies in the Hummer you won't

have a problem. He's alive 9 Test it again.

Question #9 the, the Tates pink race, which the, which we mentioned earlier about the, about the, the, the Ford wrapped up. It's a race held every year here

in Australia during the King's birthday weekend.

Where does the race start? The think rally, Where does that

start? What part?

What part of Australia does it start in?

David. David.

It's in the Northern Territory. I'd like a place if possible.

Hmm, I wanna say is it? Cause it, Catherine.

It's incorrect. Well, tell him.

I think this is in the NT, all springs.

It is Alice Springs. Well done.

That's one of the two places I know that in Darwin.

There's nothing between those two values.

There's there's about 200,000 people in the whole territory, so there's not a lot going on. So it's probably one of those

two places. That is, that is true.

That is true. So score check it is Chad one,

Ed one, Luca one, David 1.5 alum and Scotty currently equal on 2.

So it can either be tied or it can be won by three people.

So the last one is one of my very famous brochure questions in which. You know if I help Chad, Ed or

Luca to get the question right, but that means Dave is out of contention be between me and Scotty.

So maybe I'll do that because I'm not gonna get the question right. Peace.

Wow. Well, reveal your game plan,

Helen. Survivor you'd lose.

Blank is ideal for so so look at you have played this game before, but I'm going to read a brochure and then you gotta guess what the car is. Blank is ideal for commercial

and recreational use. It's compact size, tight turning

circle make it an incredibly manoeuvrable.

Blanks are economical and are used to carry everything from people to pipeline. They're at work and on airports,

at hotels, on construction sites, in factories and on the land. With eight inches of ground

clearance, Rugged, simple box section, all steel construction, Blake is built to take the knocks and keep right on going.

What Car is this? To be any.

Chuck, it's got to be a Hilux. It's it's not an Hilux.

Wow. David.

David, is it a Subaru Brumby? It isn't a Subaru.

Brumby, Ed. EDD is it a Suzuki carry?

It isn't a Suzuki carry. 8 inches of clearance.

Big clearance. Compact too.

So yeah, that's why I thought small carry.

Hmm. Yeah, Scott.

Scott. Is a little mighty boy.

You're getting closer, but it's incorrect.

Ah, is it? I can't be the proton jumbuck

again because we've done that. One, no, we've done that.

One is different. That's my beard, sorry.

Also I think David's got no the Volkswagen.

In the caddy. Yeah, Volkswagen Caddy.

No, it's it's not a Volkswagen Caddy.

Is it? A pious incorrect.

I think that's everybody is there guest as somebody on this podcast owns one of these cars. Whoa, is it me?

I'm not saying anything. Is it right you have to say.

I think you're up is gonna be more than 8 inches of ground.

So you said minimum? They would, they would probably

be advertising their maximum ground ground clearance.

So they would probably be advertising their maximum kind of ground. Seriously.

Hang on, someone owns one? Let us have a think about this.

Who's got something with eight inches of ground clearance?

Not me. Is it?

Is it is It's not Toyota Tarago. It is not the Tarago.

That's your second guess, Edward.

You're out. OHD, come on.

Edward, you've already had. Guess I should probably.

Help you run into one. I don't think Scott owns.

I don't think. I don't think I own it.

No comment. So.

It is the city and it is in the city, Edward.

That's your third guess. You're definitely.

Shut up, I'm still going. What else there what's little

and commercially that? I Is it a forester?

It's incorrect. It is not a Forester.

No one on this podcast owns a Forester.

How? Are you go?

Pipeline. So it's not.

Actually, actually if you say 8 inches of clearance that gives it gives a clue as far as the era.

So it's not a Honda CL360? It is not, but you're in the

kind of right ballpark of era. Just give it.

A 16. No.

No. No, this is, you know, I was

going to chat. I want to ask another.

One just Honda Civic. No, it's the mock Californian.

On the motor. Wow.

I had no idea I had that much. Ground clearance.

It's basically a Prado at this point.

Edward, let's be on the I. I wanna ask another one and I

think. It's from the first time Prado

and Mini Moke actually been mentioned possible answers to the same question. After send you the added but

first so you can see what that looks like.

Next one. So this one is the final one.

Blank is the latest development in the chain of blank vehicles.

The advanced components and lower materials introduced and refined in earlier models have have undergone further detailed improvements. The addition of my VAC very very

involved at. My back is Mitsubishi.

Yeah, but I which one is it really?

Well, that's half the point. Give me that.

No, no answer. Damn question.

Alright, it's Mitsubishi Magna with the my back engine.

Not Scott Scott. Scott.

Scott. Scott.

Scott. Evo 10.

I'll give you a .5 because it isn't either.

And I get .5 for Mitsubishi. Album.

Hello. If it's not the ten, it has to

be another one. That's gonna put it that way,

David. Alright, I'll.

Say alarms buzzed in first. So Alan it's still say ever 8

Incorrect. Luca it is the 9 that's correct.

It's. Because that's when they changed

the style that. Yeah, so that gets us to a tie

between Luca, Scotty and Alan. Damn it.

So now we have to ask a tiebreaker question because there's three people here have has anybody else That's not well. So I was going to say Savid,

Edward or Chad, you can ask a question.

David cause he's he's got a vendetta against me.

I. Make sure I thought you had run

against. Me.

Well, it's, it's an assumption because I've tried to bring your downfall, you know, you know, there's there's conflict of interest. No, David can't.

Yeah, that's on this good question for me.

OK, or I can find. One with the skyline question.

I'll ask one more question if you guys don't have a tonne of a question on the top of your heads before we finish the blank waggon. It enjoys the same sensation and

attention to detail as the sedan.

This is no ordinary waggon. Actually, if it wasn't for the

generous cargo area offering 2110 litres of room with the rear seats down high lift, tailgate and all, and assist Hannah for ease of loading the wide opening doors for easy access, you could be at the wheel of a Blank Blank sedan.

After all, the Blank Waggon employs the same degree of luxury, reformat and performance prowess as Blank eased in.

Too easy. And it has the reputation for

handling like 1A significantly refined, refined front suspension and multilink rear suspension system combined with Mitsubishi's traction control. Well, I don't think you're

Internet. Why?

Because it's a tie record. Scotty Allen.

Model Luca. OK.

And 3.5 litre V6 multipoint fuel injection engine with Invictus 2

small logic two index 2 smart logic 4 speed automatic transmission. Make sure that Alan.

Alan. This Magna.

Yeah, I'll give it to you. It is the waggon.

Well, well, thank you. Thank you.

So, so because I was like, well, we're saying we're saying with Magnus, we've talked about this. So let's let's let's do that.

So, Alan, well done. Is there anyone you want to?

Think I would like to thank Vin Diesel, you know, lot of cars and car movies and stuff and family.

Have you all seen the cause America had that big eclipse?

You know this the last week and the the the name of the Mitsubishi Eclipse going in front of the sun.

It's cute. I didn't see that.

Stability, right. Congratulations on.

Thank you. Thank you.

Well done on your win mate. Well done.

Good. So score check element wins on a

grand total of three. But that yeah, there was there

was a lot of plays today. There was there was six people

that could have that could have won that that that that one.

So, Edward Aniano, how many inches of ground clearance you're you're Moke has? 8 inches. 8 inches, I'll

surprise. I'm like, oh, surely someone's

gonna get this question easy and then nobody.

But anyway, moving on. I think that is a podcast,

General. Let's do some plugs.

David Prince and Edward Bunting, you do a podcast.

Yes, it's called Auto Retro. We talked to guests about the

cars of their lives. You can find it on Spotify or

YouTube. Series 2 is out partially.

There's a, you know, a slow burn of episodes being released, but there's at least three that you can listen to.

And it's a great ones to come too.

Yes. Scotty's got tip of the week.

Golf Tip of the week, Best part this time is recovery shots.

So I was that would end. There's a lot of trees and just

one of the rounds when I was playing on on holidays, just every single time hitting it into the trees nonstop.

One of your longer clubs. So we're talking three irons, 4

irons, 5 irons. Line it up there, keep it nice

and low, hit it nice and low. I've got to the point where I

can hit my three eye nice and low and I can hit 130 metres running across the ground. Go up just a little bit high,

practise those because there's so many times with your driver you're gonna hit wayward shots out in the trees and you need to practise those recovery shots and don't get yourself down on them because you can't recover from them.

That's what I called recovery shots.

Yeah, you heard. Like give up on the hall, don't

just go is ridiculous. You can't end up getting an

alright score like on that whole scene.

Give up. They were like, I just can't

talk after dark. Hello.
