Best Australian cars from the 90's to the 10's

Does professional idiot. No Drive.

After hours. See, all your lovely faces.

Let's crack open some cop days before you into tonight's topic, which is the second part of our Series where we discussing the great, the great Aussie cars throughout the decades.

So we got up to the 80s, a lot. Last time you're ever gonna

finish it off with the 90s to where we are now, currently, which is, which is quite interesting.

So, we'll continue that very, very shortly.

But let's kind of just sum car updates.

Now, Tyrone you in the studio, what's happening with your end of cars? My friend, no.

I actually haven't really done anything since the last time we won. The show actually did try to do

something which totally failed not on my end, but on the product end. So normally you would think that

the red wire and black wire red is positive, black is - right.

But so anyway, so instructions were in different languages as expected construction work. I really do feel like you guys

practice. Anyways, I got up instead of

putting it to the car instead of actually doing stuff to bring trooping down wise and you know, getting to that end point.

I said, you know, I'll test it directly on the battery end first. So connected, red, to Positive,

Black to negative and boom, sort of puff of smoke coming out of this thing. It was out of a out of a relay

box anyway. So I'm like, okay, pull it

apart. Once crew was like, Super, I

don't know what they do, but they're super glued it or I don't know what that did was like stuck in there.

Couldn't get it out. So basically the room, the head

of that don't have to, like, rip open the box because any by this point in time, I really need is not gonna work.

So it's really had us already smart comment that some like yeah you know I'm just going to rip the walks.

I've been ripped the box, I've been and I check on the PCB board and the black wire is connected to positive.

The red wire is connected to negative on the actual Pacey be bored. I'm like, see what Y what is for

is this really the screen you got?

No, it's for its for push that. Okay, that's so weird.

Do you? Exactly and then I see the

instruction and on read the instructions.

And on the instruction said there, connect the black wire to the negative part of the body, you know?

And but the black wire is actually the positive positive on the thing. And anyway I sent the guy, they

a synagogue, a screen shot of the actual instruction then I send him to screenshot of the PCB board and he's like you guys. Yeah guys are that's weird.

I get is I don't know why it happens.

I sent him yet. Another one anyway, So that's

coming out. So before I actually do it

directly to open up the board and secret or riddle is actually connected properly, and then I'm gonna run it because after that, when I connect to the right way, obviously the LED of the Bush shot lit up but the the capacitor is going.

So I can say that at all, but anybody sending out a new one, so we'll see when that are odds. But other than that I've

actually started to do that. Yesterday could also have

blow-up of lucky egg, right? So have to put back everything,

put back all the stood underneath of the steering column with everything. Put all that back up together

and then yeah. But other than that yeah,

probably on Saturday early in the morning.

Probably take it to the exhaust shop to get the exhaust period a bit firmer, don't L say? Cuz at moment when he hit a bit

of hard and bump in the road in, he's hitting the bottom of the bottom of the chassis. So but we go and get that done

on Saturday. But other than that.

Yeah, just waiting on some other few things to arrive.

But yeah, as you were strangers. Great actually, new screen.

Is it deserves you screen it off?

Put it back. Put it into what we had set up.

Matt, works perfectly fine connected to the charger.

That was with the, with the new screens are connected, the old screen tablet, charger of the intern on.

They try to that Tom, will you take the SD card out as I go.

So I've got to do the screen, I took the SD card out and then I message as soon as snow working and she look, I'll put this to come back and put it back here. Student working as like the

screens faulty I guess at the end at that point in time, I'm like look who's winning three weeks I guess I just wanted to return a give my money back in the to you know.

So then they finally actually push it through eBay and the other finally sent me the return receipt.

So I just dropped it off today. Before I got here, that was so

so nice to the new screens waiting.

For the way we do. Why we had it set up works fine?

Yeah, it could be fun. Yeah, perfectly fine.

There's nothing wrong with it. Connects fire and where it does

does not lag. As the other one was lagging.

So, yeah, it's just literally the screen just on their own screwed. I just just a faulty screen.

So then push that button was for the excess eeks.

Yeah. And the instructions are in

English, so it was making push start buttons for some for an Aussie car. This is dedicated for the xr6 is

just a generic and brand generic, I'm Brendan one.

So there is a little bit instructions that are in there.

But it's got its got photo says there's obviously there's a black border then it's talking about a green wire when there is no green wire on the the actual, the actual, really your problem unless the attraction start with my.

Yeah. That's why I told the guy and

he's like so Is this push start button turn?

Yes. Yes, I love you.

Need the key. You be quiet.

Yes. Okay.

What do you press the push-to-start?

No, they just turned the key. Well, I can't I can't actually

do the other way, but the only the other push side is, I need, you know, an RF are afraid. Oh yeah.

Actually I can I can do it without the key but and then I need the are afraid of but then but doing that I got a bypass the security. So the K the K inch incision is

basically to bypass the security of.

Yeah. Yeah you don't want to be

bypassing that. Yeah I mean I can't do it by

bypassing. I can get the security flushed

out of the ECU but then you lose everything.

Yeah. You lose all the purpose of

that, you know. But you risking any have this?

Yeah this pushed us is just a wine collector.

Yes it is. Remember the, I remember the,

the reviews for that car when it came out.

It was like so that they brought it out in the GT living was like, this is the best silliest design ever.

I know, then on the typhoon, it was like great car, but the stupid push button starts back like it's every review.

Every review said it aloud like what's the point of putting the key? And then pressing the button, it

says there's no point. The only thing I can see out of

it, which I've actually read up is sometimes when you go to to crank the kind with a normal with an old key, It sometimes doesn't if you've got obviously a faulty, if the ignition fails on the barrel, it sometimes doesn't reach that point to, to create the car over then I think if some of the physical that issue and I don't want to fix the barrel, then if you at least can get it to the on position and then push the push to the right, you'll get the crank, you'll get the car to crank over, so it can come in handy if the push.

His caste areas that have a remote with them.

Yeah, you know, we really need a remote for your kind of stereo when you can actually just reach through a mountain, adjust it because it's the David, it's for the when you've got your boot open at the car me and you have to show you, I must go to the wrong Solutions. I agree with you with the push

button but Tyrone, you and David have got to go to go to unknown friendship. You be both driven like hike, a

falcon Exile, sixes. And they both are great.

And yours is a good example precisely.

It's just, I don't know. It's always interesting seeing

these kind of addicts, like, over the SX4, which Nathan are arms. It's got, I guess it's a keyless

entry and he'll stop. This is a push button.

Start just key last up. So we're the key would normally

go in. It's got a little, I guess, I'll

call it a fake key / switch, kind of mechanism where you turn it and just like, If you have a key in there, and that's what starts car is, just the keys in your pocket, which I get.

This was another way to kind of give you a.

I still call it a scam, kill you, no feelings, if Kim stop.

Well, if you hop out of the car, somebody could take the car away from you. Daniel did that when I was first

on my face I'll show it off to your friends, they'll come back.

Well when that when they come back Mr. David Prince update

with you. I had a fun week are wise.

Actually, I actually got this camp out and took that for a good run the other day, which I haven't done since I got back from overseas. It was an on, the milberg ring,

not on the male bird ring. It was sort of the can boil

ring, actually this time. So wasn't wasn't as far but but

it was good car started, beautifully, drove, great work.

Yo all things, that's a relative term.

It's certainly not a fast car but it's a fun car sir.

It's very fun, it's a subscribes to that end.

Fabulous theory of the funding can have driving a slow car fast, rather than a fast car slow and to contrast against that, I've actually been had the loan for the last week or so and put up for another week or so over 2001, EP 3, Civic Type R, which our friend of mine purchased recently and then went overseas for Couple of weeks instead?

Why don't you take the ep-3? So I said, yes, thank you.

I will do that. And if that is a lot of fun,

I've got to say, I've never driven one before and yeah, that's a great little car. My memory of the the F into s

was that they were really. I found a little bit harsh and

revi and, you know, plasticky and horrible but the ep-3 I think it's more. I think it's, I think I enjoy

that a lot more than they even to from the point of view that it feels more like a like an earlier Civic I suppose.

But just with that lovely K20 engine and 6-speed manual and VTEC comes on hot and strong like it should in that little car but it's not about 120,000 ches but yeah it's a lot of fun.

So I'm enjoying that. Absolutely.

So how are you finding it there? It on the ticket, like, you've

read it out or I haven't been, I haven't taken it on enough and the country yet, which I'm planning to do this weekend and give it a bit of a run on some roads where you can wring it out a bit more rather than around town.

But yeah, well, you've got a speed limit of 0 to 60 or 0 to 80. There's no no rules about how

quickly you get there is there. It's just scary Keiko, go above

it, so that it's been a lot of fun.

It's a lot. Yeah, it's about my updates.

Let me go in an EP 3 years ago and I never drove one, but I went in one and I liked it. I thought it was other was

pretty cool and then my friend told me the price and I freaked out. But anyway, but again, this is

mrs. Me or poor people at a couldn't

afford anything more than $500. As was the first quick under I'd

been in. Yeah, it was, it was, it was

great. I right.

Follow me to that car. The that generation Civic, and

they had the, the gear levers sort of positioned up on the dashboard. Yeah, which I'm quite used to

because the scabs are like that, obviously, but takes a bit of getting used to for someone that's not not not used to it but it's a lot of fun. It's right.

Where you needed to be greatly box.

Yeah, I think they got a lot of little of price for that Alum and Tyrone rejoined us have had some of the pepper has the internet issue the last few times, but also been joined by the dynamic, father-son duo mollyandrob.

How are you fellas? Thank you.

Yeah, we all very, very good. Very good.

We'll get, we'll get to you guys in a second.

We'll get back to alumns updates on.

We might be disconnecting again. You still with us, all right?

Not too many updates. For me, I did polish, my dad's

Falcons headlights, decided to clean those up there with their very yellow. I thought, you know, they pretty

unroadworthy should probably cleaned up for you, it's fine.

He totally looks fine but because he did change it both apocalypse. If they would just just old and

worn out and I think one of the gone, he didn't notice it and the second one is gone. He didn't notice it again.

The the Glut, which I had already changed.

I didn't come on. I thought they might have been

simple. Electrical issue that was user I

didn't put in properly. Once again, you know, I'm going

to afford quality and its use and I had at the time which probably but we go, we got it all fixed up.

I got the hell as polished and put a little.

I think I got the Maguire's kit with the extra seal spray.

I think I made some runs in there but it's better than it was before and that's all that matters, which I'm happy about, you know, we could fix a car for the old man.

The MX-5, I've got news the company done soft-top.

They've decided to gather before another $100, they gave you a ring, they said ah Supply that we go on.

With. They don't have it in stock and

the other supplies got it. But if you another hundred

dollars on like I'm sure that I'm sure that's the case like we could wait but we don't have an ETA.

I'm like look I'm not in a rush but it seems that you really don't want me waiting for the start of the original supplier.

So let's just get this over with.

I'll give you the extra hundred dollars you know But so that's like, yes, yes, still waiting for that to revive but they've got the confirmations I think no ordered him.

I did end up taking the drive to Bendigo to pick up GameCube, you know, it was I think it's quite funny guy.

There was a Rick and Morty episode or a Australian Rick and Molly episode, where Rick tries to take more to Bendigo to goes green Cube, and I drove it many other you.

Again, you might think it's it's what you would expect.

It was a nice drive. I think it took me through

because of the freeways have bit.

Are you going to time? It was PVR?

It would kind of things through Bacchus Marsh and, like, around the assembly and stuff is actually quite about Trial.

Yeah. Like coming through, especially

I think they just want a straight road.

Yeah, yeah, coming through, like, we're back on my trousers.

Just look at the hill and everything else is quite nice right near Sunset. You know, quite a beautiful bit

of drive. It wasn't, you know, anything

fun because it was in the D-Max, I was going to go do You know, 120 bins or anything but it was just being a hotter up.

I guess you can see more of the scenery without crashing, the car, of course. Can I just say you're in a day

makes you should be able to do that because every Ranger and highlights driver in the country doesn't like way over the speed limit and darting in a traffic. So you'd be fine Alum, it'd be

funny and running. Yeah, but I also don't wanna be

seen on dashcam destroy Alia on the spot.

You know so I think you gotta you gotta take them balance here. Get it away the risk and reward.

Absolutely. And for me being on dash, cam

disk role is not a reward. I mean, it's to be watching.

I'm sure but not to the person on it.

But yeah, I had a nice drive enjoyed it and got a GameCube out of it. I was quite happy.

Yeah. And that's I think it's nearly

the other service point. I might be in a 14,000 something

case. I think.

So, you know, I'm going to look at in the next few days and we'll see how expensive that goes.

Hmm. Well, suss that out.

Scott me. I've purchased some new brake

discs and pads for the Subaru. It's overdue while the discs are

overdue, but if I'm changing the road, as I just did the pads at the same time, anyway, nice and easy.

And the right road is now, pardon are they the right rotors? Now, these rotors are

correctamundo because I've bought these ones before I was going to do. I think I mentioned I was going

to do the The wheel bearings. But I need a press and

everything for this kit. So I'll just take it to someone

to do it and I'm going to stuff around.

Yeah. Like me spending you know,

couple hundred dollars to get a press and things like that just to use it once. So no point not just get someone

to do that over the holidays and a coming up.

I gave my partners I'm done for. So for the, for the hard work

is, I am cleaned my partner's. Honda Insight gave it a good

wash. Jeez, that looks good.

That blue the gray color is that?

Oh yeah I parked next to one High Point recently and I was like she good looking car blew up blew in sight.

It was it was like that's a nice car.

Yeah, it's really nice blue. I'm sure David knows what it's

called called Cerulean. There we go.

I thought you might have some touch-up paint for it.

Actually do some touch-ups here and therefore I did have it.

I had the paint code for it now I can't find it on the car, okay. It should be on the b-pillar.

I thought maybe the engine bay but it wasn't a pillar near the or there's got books. Yeah, it's got all that it's all

been serviced. Always vital under worked for.

Those are found in the glove box to, which is weird.

I tried looking for a sweet talker for the.

Yeah, it's probably xr6 and the pan code and then I looked into the glove box and it's sticker in.

It may be surprised. I few kinds of got that in the,

in the glove box. They just, they just, they just

put them in there, which is, which is weird.

But sobs, sobs accommodate. They put him in there and jobs

and I put the key. Between the seats doing that.

So I mean, they do and you got to put in Reverse to our to get the key out and so yeah, I don't think I mentioned that with that Honda Insight at one point not that long ago.

I did change the discs and pads on it too, that was nice and easy. So, you know, just simple jobs

that you can do it yourself and save, you, lots of money because Honda wanted quite a bit to do this job.

Surprising our, I did it in no time.

How's the Battery going in there.

Seems to be fine. Honda haven't mentioned anything

about it. So so you still get booty, still

get assist. Plenty of assist on the, as you

driving. Yeah, that's good.

Yeah, yeah, it's pretty good. Even for CVT at some, it goes

pretty well. I've referred to as the first

year and he loves to feel around with it because he's better.

He's sort of got out to lunch pretty well.

Now that's the 2002. Two more Cara think?

Yeah, 2001 might be anyway. It was a very early, one of the

54 they sold or however many but because all the batteries in the in the Box are actually 5 D cell, batteries welded together, so that makes the sticks. And I think there's 20 of those

sticks in the in the battery box itself.

And so he loves playing around with them, taking the week, went out, and putting a new one in. And, yes, I came all together

and all that. The top of the boxes and it's

around and said, warning, do not open this box, you will die sounds more like a threat than a warning.

That's the case. Let's see what happened.

Pretty pretty full-on like, do not touch this, leave it to us, it's he still here to tell the tale which is, which is kind of cool. So he's a very, very good here.

And that's, that's my updates. Robin Holly update with you.

Now, rob, you want a bit of an adventure Oh yeah.

So by my did a 5000 km round trip from Darwin while from Melbourne and out, not down Alice Springs and valve springs back. Melvin again.

So that was a good ride. Please tell me you're in the gym

knee. No, I was on a BMW GS a 12.

Wow! I can write up the main Highway

all the way up the Alice Springs.

Watch the start of the think there's a trace.

So cool. So cool.

Watch the cars, take That was awesome.

The and watching a bikes as well as some good action and the atmosphere was fantastic, a lot of people out there so that was awesome. Camped out for about three odd

nights. So that was cold at night time,

it got real cold but beautiful, warm day so I can Canada 27 degree day coming home. Wow.

Think through Mount dare to data.

So I took it back. Rode it all dirt road for about

12. Maybe 400 kilometers.

Wow. Yeah on dirt then back down it

wouldn't add a track back home of the black.

Hold up hold up. Well how that?

Well so there are no issues with the bike didn't miss a beat so that was good. Yeah made up with a lot of

people from right around Australia.

A lot of retirees riding their Adventure bikes from all parts of Australia from Tasmania. Nia / Hamilton Tamworth to Gold

Coast Brisbane then so on. So there's a lot of people put

up and up with German tourist, a husband and wife in their early 30s on dir 400s. Do on all the Outback on their

motorbikes. Wow.

So it was pretty good to see though.

It was a good event, a good Adventure it.

So that was that then I came back.

On the Wednesday and on Thursday night someone was loitering around our cars. Going to driveway say they try

to open up the door in a Mustang which was locked the alarm didn't go off, they tried the Mercedes.

It was only when they got to the Tesla that they started running when the interior lights come on.

And the I saw the flashing on the dash and the headlights come on that. They actually then quickly

walked away from the cars but we've got the video footage.

Through to Tesla and that was real good footage, the place quite like that footage. Yeah, so that was pretty

exciting, but the least I'll have a scant was tucked away nicely in the garage, so that wasn't touched.

Absolutely. But so, so that they probably

couldn't work that had to drive that away.

That's the thing, they didn't even know how to open up the door handle and pestle, you're struggling to open up the door handle or try to pull on the door handle.

You didn't know how to The at all, he wasn't very good.

Not a very good faith jacket was just drug.

I was just trying to say four doors unlock to grab something.

I think. So yeah, I just don't like, but

that, that gloved up Ortiz, caps mask, the whole lot.

So, they'll pretty well covered up.

Yeah, so that kind of it up, then it will be it will they were looking for something. Sure.

So there was an incident, a corner to place it so that they'll go into Investigate that after my thing, see me.

So yeah, so there, it's time to happen everywhere around the country, by the looks of things. I'm trying to op opportunity to

sneak thieves. Yeah, try to steal stuff out of

cars. Also seen a YouTube video that

are in America. They actually leave their car

doors. Open windows open so they don't

smash Windows to look at the ass.

So go for it Thief. Have a look at my car.

We've got nothing for you to take.

Wow. And just talking about thieves

and cars and whatnot. Many years ago, we went to, I

went to LA with a mate, we hired a Mustang, a fox body, Mustang back then, and we parked in a certain what we thought was the secure car park and went to a hotel.

Stay tonight, come back. The next morning, all the car

doors are open and the car stunk and what we found out is that when it gets, when they get the real cold nights in l.a. people

break into cars, two sleeping cars, It's so from the street and up sleeping in the car. Yeah, so it happens.

So apart from that by transit van which might make doesn't know about he's somewhere in on the ocean, all the way to Australia so be here next month. Yeah, yeah, and of July, July

July. Yeah, next month, it's still

true. Either, he'll be here by August.

Yeah, that's on importantly is and stuff and the backlog and they said endodermal. Hopefully doesn't get stuck in.

Quarantine for the I get stuck with him too.

Yeah. What do you do?

What do you do. They're gonna get rid of the

covid. So, yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying

to be so that's pretty much it with the car front and I'm trying to get some work done on there.

Ee 4:30 so I can fog that off and pay for the other builds.

That's pretty much it. At least with me now.

Rob I can't I waited for you to come on the show to discuss about the the Scamp. It is officially rust-free and

it's all painted and all sorted. These are just going to go back

to two Runners to get the roadworthy and the Russians fitted. And then we are golden and I can

come to scam camp and and all all the fun things actually I can't wait to drive it. Like I like it's just I'm at

this point. I'm really hanging for it at

that. Just chomping at the bit to do

it but doing the personally thank you on the show Rob a big thank you for doing that and it looks great and there it is all sorted. So all the pay the payment you

said was pretty good. Right?

It's slightly this different but you won't be able to tell you gotta look great. Yeah.

Now it looks it looks really good.

So really happy with that. So thank you rob, really I owe

you what a nozzle and but to some slippers Uh, on the plate.

That's a really old Club later really are so, are you lots of gin? We can we can drink some Gin and

enjoy the fruits of your labor rope.

Sounds good. So thank you for that carve

dates on my end. I she's speaking about this

Camp, it's either gonna be picked up Thursday, Rob or it'll be Saturday depending on But I'll if not Saturday, it will be near been. I can all try winners of the

next week like Monday or something.

Oh good just yeah I want to get your cars in the garage so they don't get broken into probably it probably a good idea updates with me, I think I might have a deposit for the LTD, which is, which is, which is good, which is good, even put one down.

No, he's here. So he's liked me today.

We he's like, he's like, I can leave a deposit for it.

I'm like, yeah, sure. You want my details or what,

what, how would you like to do it?

And he's like, awesome your details, but he's like, give me a call when you free. So we can, we can, you know, II

would prefer that anyway. So, it wasn't what I was after

money wise. But At least it's going and he's

like I said to him I said, you know, going to strip it or anything he's like he's like no I'm just going to just tied it up and just drive it and enjoy it as a cruiser.

So hopefully it's going to a good place.

I guess I didn't get the money I wanted for it and I guess in this current market, it's not like no one's buying cars but Robin a bit, you know with it. So so what was that?

Scream popping a little bit now, isn't it?

Yeah, but look, it's it's gone. Well, fingers crossed, it will

be 100 S Kwon. My also to muscle, it was gonna

go to another guy, put up to see covered training with the seats.

Look like I said, look, it's not your typical forward things rear main seal and a power steering leak.

But I sort of half an hour at the trance dream.

Trance shift smooth and everything works really well.

Like I've you know, it's never left me stranded.

So it's been actually a really quite reliable car.

So he's like, yep. You like that's exactly what I'm

after. So fingers crossed after the

show tonight. I keep my buzz and if it's 100%

in, we can say goodbye to the to the elderly, which is bittersweet because Rob's got many fond memories, but the Deka almost burning his house down. And yeah, like, just just took

it for some nice drive that car. So it's, it's really sad to see

it go. But I'm hopefully going to hurt

or good home and he looked after.

But anyway, that is that what else is on my end?

I think, I think I'm getting broker Maddie.

That's everything's good. Everything's good.

Surprisingly always something be broken.

Yeah. Timing chain, right?

Which, which is, which is good, which I'm happy with like that doesn't that doesn't bother me because the one leader ones have a Tommy belt, that's a wet timing belt.

So it's in oil and weird and I don't know how I feel about that. So I was like I was happy that

my car's got a chain but then I have found out that certain models of the car have a wet timing belt.

We're not talking about bit like a wit.

Built as a as an oil pump kind of kind of belt.

So it's they all different was a good VIN code.

So I call my dealer module is finding out for me.

He's like look at it, shouldn't affect the car anyway like there. Yeah, it's only just just

turning and turning a belt, it's not really turning in.

It's only turning a pumped, I'm really turning anything else, but I'm just a bit by bit. If you about you-know-what word

belts, I think, I think they're not a great great thing but look We'll see how it will see what they come back with.

And but yeah, as long as I got a timing chain, for the most part, I'm, I'm kind of happy and, and from all the cares of people have done over 100,000 case on those engines so far, never had it never had an issue. So that's, that's a good.

That's a good, that's a good sign.

So I said, yep, I'm happy with that and we'll see how we go.

That is pretty much it on my end gentleman.

Now, moving on to tonight's topic before you get two Scotties version of the quiz, which which is, which is kindly offered to do, Is best Australian cars from the 90s to now. So, we did a few weeks ago from

the, from the, from the 60s to the 80s.

Now, we're doing from the 90s to near.

So there's Australian cars that we think, you know, really that kind of influenced Australian car culture.

So we did discuss Rob, just thank you very much.

We did discuss the other piece of any 6 we didn't forget about it, don't worry about it. We we have your Mansion.

Well, we like Robins p76, but From the nineties in the nineties was an interesting time because the late 80s I thought cars kind of from the late 80s. What from the 80s in general?

Really for me too late 80s, kind of Drive similar to held cars drive today like like the, you know, them all got similar features, cruise control your power, windows, Etc, all that stuff, which was quite common in cars, even even back then later.

They drive quite similar to how a car drive stay Having said that though, Australian cars, I thought it was a bit of a dark time in the late 80s to early 90s because we produced cars like that were very, very rushed like the VN Commodore any a falcon which were, which were not fondly remembered for their build quality. And and there are then their

longevity despite the fact that the the the V6 was opposed from an old from an old engine, like the The rest of the car wasn't great. Same thing with the forward but

we saw the we saw the arrival and the and the and the real kind of Market kind of Big Slice of the cake to the Magna into the Camry. What noticeable?

Carson did 90s. Do you guys remember and why?

And why do you think that they're quite important and in the Australian car landscape? Wrestling.

Yep. Nothing absolutely nothing

Australian, build cars. Don't build cars.

We're all Jason. I don't think there's anything

good. Really, to tell you the truth

about any of the cars even though even in Toyotas.

So I don't think they'll that Chris, everybody's no, actually, I actually work for Toyota back in the 90s.

Okay, I believe that they were building cars.

Make a rust Had trust issues in certain parts through gutters and various other bits and pieces, that do the Toyotas did.

They had a lot of, I think, production issues which was closely managed for equality, but they had a lot of production issues, with a lot of the engines.

They had casting issues, they had clutch issues with the clutches, shuttering and stuff like that.

So the cars weren't Anything special mine even back then at order a Toyota Seeker. Yeah.

Air conditioning was optional and they fit it in the workshop.

Yeah. Coming to be box.

It came in a box. Yeah, there was nothing good

about anything. I don't think it even the

European cars weren't all that crash shot its duties and walk ensures beer that Joe background.

Awesome. I don't even think the Holden's

world. A crack shot.

Any of the performance cars? I think a lot of people are

pretty disappointed with some of their cars as well.

They weren't really pumping out too much power.

Would I kill what was back then, not really, and they, and they didn't for quite a while. Yeah, Rob.

Just a week before we move onto that.

You were you on the line? At they'll Tire or where you was

an engine plant? Because they had the engine

plant and the Press plant back in the 90s.

Yeah. It wasn't until I think the

2000s late 90's early 2000's, when they started production of the cars, Like the actual cameras online.

They're in Altona and I took shut down Port.

Melbourne shutdown, Dandenong. And so on.

Yeah, yeah. So that making the v6s for the

cap for the VA enters at not. Now, does any of the CKD Parts

come from Japan for the cameras and other four cylinder components. We do any sixes back.

Then there's any oil for a and 3s Motors.

Yeah yeah. That will pretty much Eat what

will putting together, and building Altona.

Okay, so back then just an engine Plato was an actual actual body plan, like a spa, press plants, are engine plan to press play and so they're making all the body panels and I'll sending it off to Danny and I'm to make the Crawlers.

Okay, yeah and I I'm not sure what a camera into a mate to charge people as mainly Corollas.

I think back in or a big thing. So the Crawlers were assembled

at dad, and I like the whole with a I believe.

So, yeah, okay, okay, well just made it easier to screw me over badges on the most Bose, wouldn't it?

But not building about 200. Odd Motors a day back.

Then 200 to 250 a day. Yep.

And that was pretty good. So I used to actually get on the

engine engine line and then basically, Take some Pistons off the line. Well, actually, we actually made

a Pistons, actually, with a machine and I'll take him out of there. And actually measure up the CC

two, heads measure, the Pistons, frivolity surface roughness, and everything else mentioned that measure the gudgeons to make sure all the dimensions were right from the data points to make sure the data points were correct.

Take a block off the line. Chop up the block to make sure

all the oil galleries or write things like that.

So we used to do quite a bit of District quality control in the body measuring air. Yeah, and then we had a diner

right next door to our department so they'll basically test run a motor until it basically died and they'll run it dry of oil and all sorts of things run it hot with no water and see how long they last and what happens to them and so on and so on and it's very top Kira here.

Yeah it was good. So a so it was pretty

interesting it was good good time as a people of great great place to work and here I got On you buddy over here but yeah, it do tough time. Something back in the 90s with a

government with drawing a lot of the support and funding a lot of strikes at the time. A lot of time off between out

there between yeah jobs I suppose and there are a lot of redundancies back in the 90s as well within the engine old motor industry will stop. Yeah.

I think there was a lot of turmoil in the 90s and hence probably the reason why some of the cars weren't all that great shot. I think to, for Australian

manufacturing, we sort of had the button plan, sort of remnants from the 80s and that model sharing between the Nobles and the Crawlers, and the pin towers and the corsairs, and, you know, missing their, you said all those sorts of things are. We're sort of a almost a cynical

time I think too. For a lot of a lot of local

manufactured around the automotive industry.

I mean, there was some, there was some gems that sort of a movie, but should I mean the, when they started slowing, Only the twin cam engines into the Crawlers.

They produced that was a pretty cool little Jigger the Essex carollers? Yeah, quick quick.

Oh yeah, great little car. So there were some lights on the

way I think to is they defer the developed, the, the eea and the VN sort of end of the nineties at those cars improved over times and with each sort of successive facelift and stuff.

Whenever I drive like the LTD and I drove it back to back with the AFX. Alright that we've got in the

family now that's on the same virtually on the same, kind of platform where it is. The same platform.

Is he a good platform? It was, it's chalk and cheese

like they drive completely different like you can see how much time and effort that and development.

They put into that car with with time, which is which is quite interesting to see like they kind of rotate really tried hard to right their wrongs and you're in the early nineties and stuff and Men early to mid 90s, Put it this way, you just getting back to your player Rob. With, with a strong performance

cars, they weren't really fast. WRX is, were walking away from

cops. So what did they do?

They want to build WRX is the kid to keep up.

So, and then that is a hand on heart.

True story. Now, but you're right, there

were some gems were and they started to get good towards the mid to late. Like I'd say 94, 93 94 on would

stake started to get a little bit better but any in particular so you said yes, Corolla day with any James that you guys remember fondly from the 90s. But we also joined, by the way,

with by Edward bunting, is got to be neon today.

It's very cold. I often wear a beanie in the

winter. The heat is not looking.

He knows me as being environmentally friendly and a half degrees here. What are we talking about

tonight? Where can we talk about the

beautiful, a you Falcon which was the gym episode of this podcast? That where the

I was going to say like for doing weird things, they did the EB GT which never really made the esteemed Turner kilowatts, but they release the car as and that we know as the Ed accelerates print, which had that which was virtually a JT you just with no, none of the extra body cladding and all that extra weight. So was actually the better car

to drive lighter in. And, and that's just so that was

kind of a highlight for them. I think holding had the taxi

look alike but performance performance car, which was the the the gts-r which is very yellow, put it that way.

And they only came in yellow which was which was kind of a cool thing. But the group a as well, which

was cool. But Toyota was really big on

their wide body camera that when that when that first happened, all the big wide body come in and take it up to you and to the, to the Earth to the other people.

But that at that along with the the No, which the Magna Carta of kind of grew that instead of being the boxy, kind of designed by a ruler shape from the, from the 80s.

They really went into into into roundness, and a lot of ways Looking Back. Now, I think that that magnitude

aged quite well, I think it's actually quite a good-looking car now. So, those three were quite

impressive. So that those losses were, were

quite impressive for what they offered.

And, and you couldn't, you couldn't get a 4 cylinder in the be in the big Falcon and Amador. So you could argue who but you

could get in a in a magnet and you could get it in a, you know, in a Camry which I think helped them have a lot of market share.

So, because people didn't need the need of E6, and when you draw them, they don't slow. Then we're not done at the not

fast, but they were, they were at the end.

There were okay, the V6 is that were available in that Toyota and the Mitsubishi's, at the time, we're very refined engines. I mean, they left them for the

whole engines for dead. Really in refinement.

They did, they always drove so smooth.

I remember when we have an XF XF back in the day and they've got nicked, believe it or not, but mostly it was the most stolen car in one point in Australia. Remember well, I'm saying, oh,

did you check out? Because we, we see the Royal

order in the, in the mail, every month.

It's and she's like, she's like, she's like guess what?

My car's almost all the car. Yeah, of the lobby of the Year

this year. Like, oh great.

I thought that sounds great little legit like a week later.

Got nicked. Anyway, we got a curvy scam RI

from 91 and the engine was just a delight in their car.

Compared load it revved, it sounded good, it was smooth, so it was just yet, you're right, David?

It was just complete complete, utter a refinement which which which you know, the the blue oval and and and the lion didn't really didn't really have it the time.

Begin until late 90s. We got arguably, Holden's.

The is the best-selling Commodore isn't the VT, the these things. Yeah, yeah.

BT 97 which is, which is which kind of led us to the 2000s and gave us a really good-looking car, which we'll get to in a moment. But for now, interestingly,

that's, that's ridiculous. Make you feel old.

Yeah. Yeah.

That does make you feel. So they have that for Danza was

the the my Tau Falcon which which is which I think are kind of by felon because you just keeps mentioning it, will put a T5 it a lot. Well the diff dress back, you

just figure you have a good time to take a quarter and have a great time at the agency thing about the VT was that it was so successful overseas as well. And I mean, Toyota or exporting

is the Zip Cars by then to to the Middle East especially But but a very care. Well, I mean, to be she, of

course exported to America as well, but the Commodore did well in the Middle East and it did Will well, they say it's a bit like the Capri, you know, I was a bit of a failure, only sold 150,000 million cars because it's everything over there.

Is got a sill 250 million thousand but be the Pontiac GTO and the was a Sugarman beer in America as well.

I think Ink. It was never the Lumina in the

States but it was been laced actually a little easier.

Yeah, but I think think it was the UT El Camino for a while.

Well, there shouldn't with a. She never got the never got the

they announced that and then they never brought it to him.

Okay. Okay.

So there's others but there's this will cool stories about about that. Like there was like I think that

50 Cent driving out in one like to back in the day trying to say. Yeah, this is the new El Camino

and it just never happened because because I would offer It was going to take cells off their you know, their trucks because because muruga, okay freedom and bald eagles.

So I think that that's what that's what that's what they're afraid of afraid of happening. But moving on into the into the

two thousand and they are, this is what I think.

Personally, my favorite era of Australian cars of the is the is the is the Because I think they really kind of stepped up their game and they really kind of not knowing only step up their game but they they they kind of put some world-class engineering into him and and you can you can you got some really really crack it like real real good crackers which which are now very fondly remembered. So let's get into the to into

the 2000. How we mentioned earlier, the VT

Commodore now, the V2 Commodore for me as a very important car because because they produced a very famous car out of it and I think you guys know what I'm about to say.

The manaro through the Reed, the Reed rebirths manaro, which I still think is one of the best-looking Australian cards that that's been put together. It was the right size.

It's every time I turn on my camera, too.

Good-looking car. I want to get your opinion on

the menorah. General.

Here in the corner here? Yeah, absolutely sold cars.

Like, there's a reason why they love them on Top Gear, just, you know, and I've scooped big old V8.

You know, just crack griddle time like real, I think like volcanism T. It's all about, you know, having

a slap on the back, I meat pie and just Revel any up getting caught by the cops, all run away from the cops, you know, it was a good recipe. It was as good as any time and

great design. It was Mike's encoder design and

Bea a beautiful cohesive sort of great proportions to the design.

It really looked like it was, what was obviously designed as a two-door. Bit from the bottom, it was a

very well-executed design. Always thought.

It was a good-looking car and and it just it it was like a massive, welcome for Australia. I think it really put us back on

the map in terms of car design, because like every time like this is like, when you still see when you still think that's actually quite a still good looking car and it's, you know, a stock gets I was meeting point engineering, big V8 upfront, manual gearbox in the middle rear wheel drive and just, you know, just just a good time and and then they did a little work to make to make them handle quite well.

And this is where is what people don't like.

People don't really understand like because like, that shouldn't go. Around corners as well, as well

as these cars did and it was really, really good in the corners. So matter-of-fact, because that,

that for me, is one of my all-time favorite favorite Australian cars. I remember seeing what I'm

seeing one in yellow, when they first came out that I forgot for the name of like that yellow that they kind of evil and it just blew me away. I was like, this is actually,

this is so cool. Like, I remember seeing one and

and it was a CV 8 as well. So it was the V8.

Yeah, real big fan. Car.

But it also brought a time into the Holden fan.

Yeah, I've always liked the the winner.

I think that I think it was a great car and especially with the updated interior when they when they kind of had the Visa interior they they really kind of made them real real Schmick but also for Dad to do something quickly in rebuttal, to to, to the massacre. That what, your copy in the

cells, and they brought out the Be A Serial be series Falcon, which Britain you in a whole new New Engines, new IRS, new, front-end Etc. And, you know, brought along

with it, you know, the ex SX Turbo, which I think was a very influential car. It was a very important car

along with the the famous internet that came with it now.

Now it's it's very revered that engine and and with and with good reason. So that came along as also the

territory, which I think was such an important car for this country because it was the it was a homegrown SUV, it was benchmarked against the Ux5, it was, you know, it was It was kind of it was well, put together for the most part and you know, it was it got rave reviews which I, which I believe it well and truly deserved. It was the herald of the

destruction of the sorry, their station wagon.

Yeah, it was yes, yeah, absolutely.

It was like, you want you want station, wagons, not but sit higher. You buy this instead, but see, I

thought they were thinking ahead because like they realize they're losing cells to like Ruffles.

Things like will like go why don't we joining on that party?

And and and and the fact that again they still also made a territory turbo. Yeah, do you want to do

something really, really stupid? But I have to agree with you

many like the the be a falcon bring it in, you're improving on in Tech going to dual overhead cams variable.

Cam timing having, you know, like it was a nice talk.

He engine just in itself, which is, you know, nice, great.

Yeah, straight sticks for that later.

But then also having the turbo options kind of building, what is, I think, the ultimate engine Australia ever produced, you know, the, the, the power turbo is like Australia's ultimate engine, and I think it'll stay that way, obviously, because we're not making anymore. But just in terms of how to roll

how they can handle you know with stock blocks stock internals, that's something they would just, you know, a nice juicy kind of powerful car when they came out.

You know, like I said, it was for sensor to hold him like you didn't have to go with the V8. You could go as you know, a nice

straight six turbo rather than Japanese ones with your load displacement. You only had a good kind of base

with good talk and then one smooth came in, you were basically sliding around or, you know, flying away.

What else to do. So I think just end it.

They improved on the engine on over and over again to what when they had the fgx that was what three hundred and thirty-five forty-five. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Which is yeah, again, just roll

a car that's being sold at australian-built car, being sold to the masses. That's incredible.

How, you know, just how great time all around.

And it's sad to see that. It's kind of no longer

available, but the engines kill going strong and so many different bills. They're even people in the

states here in l.a. demelza, With his bare Mustang.

Like the fact that this is, you know, for something that way of, you know, we like to think we're a big country.

We saw as wise were pretty good, but population were very small and we never make that big of an impact, but still will have an engine that we produce to harm, that's known, even in the states as like a Performance Engine. I think that's one of the

greatest achievements we did Automotive is, well, I don't agree with you there, but I also had to the point at the point of that. I think it was like the late 90s

early 2000s. Really, really woke up

especially Be like yeah the Be Few companies here that said, we need it. We need to make cars that are

refined and we need to actually really kind of make Whirlpool class, power plants and stuff. And I remember reading the

reviews saying, this is like super suits, a super smooth engine like it's you come you can barely feel it idle.

It's very, very tactile. It's they they threw the kitchen

singer that car. And they and they, you know,

they put they produce something really, really special, which which leads me to my next car because it was you winning the territory but it relieves me to my next car of the the Orion which was basically lb V6 Camry, but not of a six cameras that make sense like they they kind of the the door wide that you know, inside the doors yet virtually camera but the front and rear end different and they just as the suspension to make it for a for our country and tone, your dad worked at a

Toyota during this time and it was a kind of a special time because I wrote it like Tod or eons and everything like that, they And that was what this they really they really want to tell David you. So that was on your list.

Why was it on your list? Ah I just think it was a they

did a lovely update with the the change.

It just shows someone who knows what they're doing, design-wise just the changes to the bumpers of the grill and that sort of thing to the Tod really gave it a real presence, 19 inch wheels and the sport suspension. They they just look so much

cooler base Orion. And they were 240 kilowatts with

the supercharger, probably? Yeah, well I'll call you.

If the loose leaves out cars bumper down, once when the orange came out, he was always, at least in the standard.

Orion sporty law, or anything like that, and the TRD came out and then he went for six months with that, with the TRD option.

And I drove it and yeah, it was crazy.

Yeah, there's a lot comfortable, and yeah.

Look more doing. But yeah they they soon they

didn't make many of those didn't win last year.

I don't know if it's good. Actually what shape it I think I

think probably with the HSV the time in the light of what year did the first Orion come out to Australia because what's the matter already superseded when it when it arrived on our Shores, America had. Yeah.

If it kept, if they kept up the dead before they thought about the Orion I'm they would have had.

I reckon not bad sales on that. You still, you still say.

I when I was gonna say she for my car, oh, for a car to buy, I still saw a few and balloons popping up here and there a girlfriend Jake and his first cows and everyone.

Mmm, unfortunately, he lost in a flat and then he's like, all right, ready for nikah, little for another envelope like it ain't broke, don't fix it, but I did.

Look, like an Old Carriage sitting in the showroom holding were developing a Tirana which never yeah, yes.

Yeah. I remember that.

That caused a bird would exist rally.

Now, it is that's where I saw it.

That's what if I die. Yeah.

And then there's this one, the hatchback.

That was cool. I like that console.

Those are great concept and of course, a convertible.

Convertible Bernard would have been doing something really cool. Sorry Hall, a general matters.

Told and even back pain in what they do and what they can't do.

Yeah, absolutely. They I mean, the, the American

overlords kind of kind of kind of do that with all the companies here. Really like, you know, it was

very sad because you know, like we had we did have something special with you do something good here that was made for our conditions made for our environment and they kind of took it away from us but that's that's, that's just how it is.

But but you know that that's a writer concept.

I was actually excited. Cited?

When that car came out, like they had a twin turbo V6.

It looked really good. And if they would have done

that, I would have probably said.

Yeah. That's a, that's a car, I would

have aspired to because it look good.

It had all the Huddle, the right, the right angles.

And it was, it was a nice car. It was a really really, really

nice car. Getting back to the TRD or even

though I was only, I'd one more point.

That is a car that I think is severely underappreciated.

Like, they are ridiculously quite cheaper, what they are nobody kind of knows what they are.

It's kind of one of those guys, if you know, it's a if you know, you know, kind of car. And I think that it's a shame

because they are, there are cracking drive like there are really, really good thing. So if you can find one, get one

and hold onto it, because you will really, really enjoy it.

All right, none castles the moment.

I did check it earlier. So that was the early too early

to mid-2000s and holding spent the it was called the billion-dollar baby. Remember, the blimp they had for

this girl, the ve Commodore came out and I was like, it was a big big thing for holding it was their kind of last hurrah, Rob's the entrance of the other, I believe was The Zeta platform where they were, they kind of threw everything that they had it and basically produce the car that That was really, really, you know, really really what class in a lot of ways and some ways it still was not ideal but they really really tried tried with that car. So I want to get your thoughts

on the VA as to how important it was and to see how that led them to the few, to the end of their of their kind of, you know, run VF is where they're nailed it. The last one everyone does so

many, you know, Our journalists and stuffs praising it?

Yeah, they finally reached it and that was it.

They reach that Pinnacle and yeah.

Unfortunately they had to fold to, you know, finally get there and make a car that was worthy against all the European cars everyone were buying it was there they got there and just sad to see you know I suppose 20 therein lies part of the problem. You know that it seemed like a

lot of the cars we've talked about o through this series thing of the v in and the XD Falcon and the first Commodores I mean they they were so well intentioned and had the potential to be great but it was only sort of four or five years down the track, you know, whether they would be through a couple of facelifts and they actually nailed it.

So you're like the early stuff so I don't know if it was a budgetary restraints. Or what?

But I mean sometimes they did come out they weren't quite as they should have been and it goes back to that old saying that you know you never buy the first of a new model.

Well I think that's the case in Australia.

Not necessarily with some of the cars from Over the city's.

Most, most of them overseas manufacturers singing to nail that. I think that is a fairly noisy

thing that the early ones. Weren't, you know, what the best

version of that? I think.

I think they were there's one exception to that for me the Series 1. Malou ideally to me looks the

best once I started going with like the nostrils and everything else for the series to. Yep, that was not doing it for

me as much as the original series 1.

Was that for me was like Peak malou, I think Peak moment.

Yeah, the VF still good looking but these, there's one more Loop. That's where it's like,

ultimately out for me, okay. And you know, I'm losses to just

a great car all around, you know, it's absolutely useless in practical way to lower unit for you.

Because you know, all you can throw on the back of the slab but it's a great time that wasn't obviously, all your bones will be broken in like being poured out of the back of the train, you'll be there. You'll be pulled over and

getting pounded, May to be on the sliding.

The ve SS, they didn't have an LS in it, did it?

It's not that it wasn't. It wasn't an LS1 or anything.

It was like a was an l98. I think it was like, it's still

allies engine, Ellis architecture.

But it's slightly different. And they took that right into VF

and then vf2 on the standard SS, then they had the LS3 and they may be tellin ya because they're pumped that 26 later from memory. Correct.

Okay, so if we six wagon the other day and I was like, damn, I haven't seen one of those in a while.

You know, you had to see any more wagons around, you know.

This morning's really good designed to.

Yeah. Yeah.

And and it was black the guy actually kept it pretty pretty good the Penguins would and you know obviously with those cars load big rooms, And he always makes it look what way up.

But yeah, it's just my soul. That was like, then actually

haven't seen one of those in her in ages.

Now, all your heavy corny turnaround is a survey or play a small SUV. You held, the they started with

the big ones, another compressing it into small SUVs.

Yeah. Look, you up.

But the table across is that the crawl across.

So the MD H cross that basically is not a small card in boats, sort of drug and of course I'm going to, yeah, it's like a bigger bigger. Are has crossed our own.

Yeah. Yeah.

Good car. See I again, the Sport Wagon

was. I think a really, really well

designed car. It still looks good.

I think out of the VA, that's the one to get.

Like, it's just issue. It's the, it looked, right?

Had plenty of space. It just, it was a good-looking

car. And I think I think they

absolutely know that especially especially, especially to be F or especially in a club Sport Wagon, which is even more special and rare, that that's something.

That's something very, very cool.

I would highly recommend those But the 2000s, the node is also saw the demise of a brand in Australia.

It was the first one to go in terms of one of the big ones to go and that was Mitsubishi and they last hurrah was the was the 380, which they really tried with that car.

It got a lot of things, right? It drove.

Well, it plenty of power and was comfortable made for our conditions, but it just never sold and they didn't sell many as we as we. Discussed previously.

But why do you think the 380 never took off?

Was it because they change the name from magnets are 380?

Or do you think they will just like, they just were not?

It wasn't that we weren't ready for that car yet?

There's a mr. Schumann.

I think it looks too. I think it looks like right?

No, it was a bit sled sign and a bit funky looking glass.

But you see that kind of size of the car?

The big, the big slug body body panels and everything.

That's kind of what most cars are these days.

So, Do you think it'd do you think it deserve the the kind of non-sales that copter? What do you think it should?

Have should have potentially saved the company could because it that was there, that was there.

They rattled I never did and unfortunately it was there die.

We had the, at the time, the comparable.

What the bfl can? Yep.

Alright. And it would have been just the

start of the va's. Correct.

Yeah, what does? Yeah.

So when you compare those two I guess, competitors, in terms of looks, I mean, the Mitsubishi just you're not going to consider it if that's the option.

Now they say, they can see that Elam please.

Consider it is considered. Well, I did consider.

I said no. I think it's like I think it

just said it was good car like good size.

It was Australian scientists as well.

I guess we'll call it. You know, it did fit the bill

but they can the competition around it.

I guess just already had people. Yeah, and they're quite happy

with what they got. So, it was for a lot of people

probably have been, if Aaron broke, don't fix it.

So, why would we go to the Mitsubishi?

It just didn't look that good, you know, it's not like an abalone or whatever. You can even build the best car

in the world in terms of reliability and all that blah, blah. I'm not that Mitsubishi's

amazing with that but it just doesn't look that good.

You know, it doesn't look like good.

People are going to buy it simple as that aspirational.

Know, exactly. 100 called Euro aspirational Car 380.

Not aspirational car. Well, your eye looks fantastic.

So that's Milan. P7e seeks.

Not Operational car. But in many ways, a good car,

you know, Falcon GT, either x w or something, you know, the assembly area, whatever may be aspirational car for a lot of people on few really, did you think of it being a front-wheel drive, a big car at the time. People still didn't take a

lifetime to it, you know, the rubber by a holding or afford, I'm sure they had literally factor.

It's partly that you never going to get God.

Used officially, you never going to get the die-hard, hold enough. Wood buyer into a front-drive

car but that's not to say there weren't a lot of buyers it I mean, look at magnetic. How many magnet has a sold out

there? There are a lot of buyers that

didn't care, you know, that that wasn't their main number one thing. So it's not that, it's not that

big front drive sedans, never sold here, but I think it's more a case that it's just from Felicia.

So, I mean, I'll still selling put your camera.

He's, you know, back when the 380 was knew, what was that has become, you can we, as a better looking car, well, it's a little bit. and it's like, It's like with us,

and with the maximum big four-wheel-drive, your V6 didn't really sell well that, you know, that, that last kind of generation that they had didn't, you know, it wasn't really a memorable car, but the Toyota is like even though they I mean they let their people say they're an appliance, but they still sold my clothes and they still do so bucket loads.

So I don't know. I I think I do think Rob the

real Drive thing had something to do with it, but I also think it just want it just wasn't special enough.

Really. It wasn't a city was in a

special thing because because on the 5th of February 2008, the production of the 380 at tonsley Park in Adelaide.

So starts at Australian ended, you know, it was, it was the end of production for that and it's just sad because like, a lot of people don't really remember the 380.

Like only at all about people, people don't even remember the 380, which is, which is incomparable to a magnet people of people. A lot of more people, remember

the Magna, but the, the Magna, they're even, In even in its home city of. So you know, Adelaide in South

Australia. While speaking to Andrews where

he's been on this podcast, he's was the only first gym bag.

No doubt. That was there.

He took that that time. And it's not like that's like

you're tall, tall tall Japan day in in an elite and that's a huge thing you know? Like that's like that.

For me was like wow the place where the magnet was bought, no one brought a magnet, you know you know really it's it's it was a very, very sad sad kind of kind of ending and and I think Dylan option. Marry again since it was trying

to compete with the criminals in the Falcons, the header, the vxr and the GT Model, right? Yeah, but they didn't come with

a stronger engine, they just came to the same thing.

Whereas you get an SS, you know, you can X, alright, that sort of thing or an ex SX Turbo. What like if you just going to

get the same damage and why would you even go for the, you know, more premium thing, as well?

But let me what if you're going to, you know, make this your car kind of the one that's like your special to you.

He made by the higher spec model but You're getting virtually sweet FL for so yeah. And again looking at it looking

back at it it really did have the Hallmarks of a low-income single dad cop. So I picked up Tom, my friend

who's been on the podcast before the other night from the taronga train station. And I happened to be driving my

under City, and he came giggling out of the station, up to the car. And I said, why, Are you

laughing? Because he knows the car.

You seen that Honda before and he said this is like a $500 single dad's car from when I was at probably.

When I was like, well, you can walk home then rude.

I was only so many sold over 30,000 of the 380s in Australia.

It was a surprise that. So let me actually, it was one,

one sold in 2010. One out stock apps.

Yeah. Whenever fact wow it just

publicity machine of Toyota Ford and halt Ford and Alden was so great that and I think the people would actually to shitcan the cameras and the Magma's for being front wheel drives back then as well, I fought and it's so sort of there was this Persona of these cars being front-wheel drive Drives weren't as good as these railroad drive, australian-built.

Cars. I think back in those days.

Yeah I feel that's what Ralliart to yeah.

The Ralliart man. These cars needs.

The Mac is trays and one of them doesn't rob, you know is very important when you're young people a that you were able to make this trade is going to be you know, single you no one will peel. One will be little day.

Back is try dividing, our reckon Let's see Megan the did great things they look like they put old drive into their into their cars. You know.

Like it's real you was never a food available with all-wheel drive. Was it?

That that that was a shame because by all accounts that four-wheel-drive magda's, a good things, turbo Terry his brother had one is brother, had a himself, had a banger sport, TJ Sports and in his brother had a virata all drive and he loved there. Caillou thought it was a thought

was a great thing. You know, it was a great was a

great snow car was no did everything.

Different, right? So that was the, that was the

demise of Mitsubishi in terms of local manufacturing.

Those the further, the first of the big ones to go but not was all, was not lost because the companies were still trying to keep manufacturing here as we get into the 2010's.

So basically, the 2010s body body cars that were still being built were territory, where Falcon were Commodore and were Cameron /. Oreo our motto.

You got to go. That means Tory's going to go as

well. Will I will talk to you guys

soon? Yeah, we'll catch up soon.

But yeah, take care, guys. They found us catcha later, he's

doing the crystalline me, buddy. Oh Scott.

So last models that there was a commencer for brought out the FG which, which was a good car. It was a very good car.

I mean rob you still own energy energy are you going to Five minutes, 45 minutes behind him. So, Rob what made you get your

ex SX Turbo, 50th Anniversary. I was looking at the cars and

the time I go, what sort of Cara am I not going to lose too much money on when the lease is up. But so I was thinking FG Malou.

You should've got the flu anyway, that's a different story. So I was looking at even Evo's,

you know, sort of a Mitsubishi because they'll sort of there was a, what was the one that really are?

Well, yeah, yeah, I was looking at that.

So I was looking at car that you ran a 40,000 dollar, Mark.

That will hold its value fairly well when you get a result because if you bought a falcon and be worth five ten thousand dollars. Yeah, yeah.

And I thought, you know, I don't want to buy a car to lose any money on any more. So I thought, let's see what

car. Still have a nice car that will

hold its value to some extent. And it was there the xr6 turbo,

50th Anniversary. Specifically I do.

I didn't think the g6e at the time would hold its money as well as the xr6 turbo. Yeah, especially being a 50th

Anniversary one. So that's what I went for.

Just more for not losing as much money on my cars, and you still got that one. Still got it.

Yeah. So how many cases that time for?

D 4000 on it. So it's not and you know what,

Rob, you haven't lost the scent. No, no no, not yet, not yet, not

yet. So I think it'll hold, you know,

beer, keep its value around that that, you know, if I wanted to sell it in this time and day probably for the thirty thousand dollar Mark, you know? And in good times I probably

would have been, you know, in the 40s at the peak but I'm not sure. It just depends on.

Who's Wanting to buy it. And when you go to sell it, it's

what people would pay for it. I don't know.

And you haven't lost anything to you.

Sell it. Yeah, that's right.

Exactly. Exactly.

But it's still. You can see that what people are

asking for a anything between a high 20s and I've seen some stupid money like, 60,000 70,000 for him, but I don't think I'll get that money. Use a really nice example and

you really, you really enjoyed that carbon usage about it.

It was, it was one of my better cars.

I mean, that I had a lot of fun with and it was enjoyable to drive every day. When you hopped in, it was be

like the WRX as though you had that feeling That feel with them especially when you've had pretty average cars over the years. When you couldn't afford

anything else a little Suzuki Swift.

So even though they're not averaged old, I thought they were pretty good little cars but they just didn't have the power.

Like the WRX sword xr6 had. So it was Powers great.

And it just says something about the falcon.

With that to Berra, turbo motor in it and the way drivers, it gives you a hacker site that feeling of really driving a car or something, a bit more bit different than a normal car really does. So that was your take on our vfc

came around. Soon, after that, there were in,

I think 2013, they started. I think we'll, 2012 2013 via UPS

and they were Holden's last hurrah.

And they were in all accounts at equal rates thing.

I thought the Interiors were way better than the forwards at the time because the Ford Ford had no money to to follow Shadow, money to throw it, but they their interior was lovely.

I thought the, the stitching on the dashboard was nice and the seats are nice and yeah, there were there were really good thing in there. It was like, people like all how

can you? How can you say you like holds

if your foreground like, because it's a genuine generally really good car and And you know, an SS you door Rinna says or something along those able to split sports wagon was for me, really, there was a peak holder and it showed what they could do when they were when they were and they didn't go out and they didn't go out crying. Like they went out with a bang

and then they and they really try to push the push the envelope. And it's proven with my ultimate

2010's car from from from any Australian manufacturer is the HSV GTS. W1, which had the ls9 out of the

Corvette and it's and basically was a quicker than a Nissan GTR around a racetrack with a manual transmission.

So it was, it was an unbelievable feat of engineering and by all accounts, it's now half a million dollar car because Pete because the people are boredom, never drove them, which is a shame because that that's a kind of should be driven. And yeah, for me that was you

that was the peak because they were to end to end very shortly.

And what other ones from them from the 2010s.

Do you guys remember before we finish up and say the final thoughts? I've got to put it up going to.

It has been mentioned before before tonight by Alan, but I think the vf2 ma lose, I think the fact that they were are you and we invented the you in the 30s, back in the 30s, for invented, the Ute Marlowe's have got a First Nations name.

I mean Marlo is Aboriginal for thunder.

I think about Aloo which is the bear from The Jungle Book.

I think not to be confused with the beer from the bar.

Lou Lou is the bear. He was from, said, babbler

alike. No, anyway,

I just had a quick look at my lose before we came on and the Chiefs 169, which is pretty good in Berkeley actually, it's surprisingly good. I think there might be something

wrong, but they, they range up to about, or about to, about a quarter of a million dollars. Now, solely.

Hell yeah. So there's the rub, you probably

should have brought my Lou. As far as quintessentially Ozzy

and the last hour of the last manufactured otk, I think I'm going to go to about Malu, be up to American for dropped off a little bit towards the end with the Utes.

They did they didn't just keep up with it or anything like that but hold and really stay true right to the end.

And there's a good reason for that because holding was just like, screw, we're going to use all the money we can afford to buy. Like we have no money.

So he so I think they could They could have produced nothing.

Yeah. So they don't seem quite damn.

Yeah. Supercharged GS, you'd stay for

a while the FG Series 2 s that we're pretty hot you, they weren't and they threw everything at.

They could add it with the not much, but they did try to throw everything at it and they'll pretty fast car.

Actually fact, underrated. I think a little bit to compare

to a mellow. Yeah, they also had the It's all

right, it makes us sick. Sprint towards the end, they

were like, kind of Ford's last hurrah, with whatever peanut budget they had. So they definitely worth the

mention and Toyota is all was well with the Oreo and they took the water, and right, to the right to The Bitter End before the before they shut up shop. So the the data are.

So Ford was the first to go the final for that which was a blue Exile six. Rolled off the production line.

17. Of October 2016, then it was

Toyota virtually a year later on the 3rd of October, 2017, and only 30, I think 17 days later on, October the 20th and 2017.

They'll follow Holden Commodore rolled off the line, which is, which was an SS Commodore, and that was the end of Australian production, gentleman, which is sad when you come with me because I quit, You did have a lot of cars that we talked about that. Well, we thought of quite fondly

and and I think towards the end we really we kind of got it, right? I don't know what you guys

think, and but I think I think we did get it as right as we could have and we got pre, we got pretty close to having to having some. I mean, what we did, we didn't,

we were there, we had some really, really good cars.

It is ass. It is sad.

It's a shit is a shame but but I guess we've got stories to tell our grandchildren and our and making you know, can can Continue the legacy of Australian built cars.

How do you think they go on the market today?

Colorado Falcon would not exist in today's market in Australia.

That's awesome. No Watson.

Yeah, no, what is it? Then that's a big say anything

anymore. Especially, get more and a

hatchback. Yeah, well no, one wants a big

wagon either. They want to see baby.

Hmm. So we have this discussion last

week, like a pretty boring. You won't lie.

Yeah, so I think if order to do it, they probably kept the territory around and I probably would have built, you know, like because like because Actually did so quite OK on to even on until until the very end. But yeah, it was.

Yeah, there's a, just a sad sad way of ending had and we didn't, sort of mention is the Holden Caprice.

The police force in the u.s. we're considering it using it.

So must have had some pretty good things for it to, for them to consider that. It's interesting.

You say that well, because like quite often, the Australian cars that we built here, when they took him over to the states, like Remember when the for took the territory over to said that the Big Forest America for like some funding for Farley was 500 million. A big them to build his car.

They're like, are you on one condition?

You bring the car here, after you're done with it, so we can have a look at it and they drove away.

Like this is the best. Can we make in the world, you

know? And that's from that was when

they brought the territory to to America and it shows that we that we had the ability like the Caprices and stuff that were there. The Commodore the day, the gg8

in the ancestors that were that were taken over there were built the best Chevy's and Except that they had for sale.

They're like, they would barely handle, they actually went around corners, the quality was actually much better than their cars there. You know, it was it was robbed.

You even said it. When you had your Mustang up in

the Hoist compared to the Falcon like, it felt cheap underneath like the like the the old the Arms of Steel.

They're not they're not aluminium like they're in the Falcon like they'd like the end and this is yeah this is you can see. They spent a lot of money on

making them Drive really well. Yeah, like that.

A bit rough around the edges in terms of interior and stuff.

But like, you know, to drive there, always a always a really comfortable thing. So, it's a shame, I think wheel.

I think we lost something really, really special, and unique to us. But, but again, tears, your

question Scott here. I don't think Commodore and

Falcon would have would have survived.

No, I agree. They would have had to have made

SUVs and small cars. But anyway, shall we go into the

quiz gentleman? I don't think it's time, so run

a robber. You join us for the quiz is

here. Present present, rather roll.

We got robbed normal Rob, so I'm going to rub one as well.

That's the big. It's not

When I did that one, a couple weeks ago.

Mmm, hopefully Matt doesn't remember this episode question, 7 43 points. I was in Top Gear and each host

needed an executive style, Supercar, all surrounded, by an Aston Martin rapide and a Porsche Panamera, turbo.

Matthew Matthew, Matthew was a Maserati Quattroporte.

Oh my goodness. Matthew.

Geez, sorry gentlemen. This is like a feel like I'm

just answering all the well, when you lie at the end, squeeze a little lat. Thanks man.

Maybe I shouldn't have done Top Gear, special questions.

Question, eight. I was in Top Gear as in Top Gear

Driving roads, may had an Aston Martin V8, Vantage N24, and haven't had the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

What a Clarkson have? Valiant first dibs - yeah.

one. It was a it was it was it hard

copy on this American not a hurricane by special edition ones but I can't remember what it was.

There's like a super Leggero of some sort, I don't need that bit. Just just a basic model of this

Lamborghini, she's know, I guess wrong.

So I'm out. And I just want to have a crack

to finish it off. Hollywood know.

This me, I can go, I can go to a 2.2 if you wish.

Yep. 2.0. 50 points. I was born in Italy and started

in 2003 and ended in 2013. So shoot, we'll shoot for one

point of view. Yeah.

It was no no hablo no. I came immediately What.

What what? Yeah.

Got it. Okay.

Question number 9. I start in Top Gear where I

raced from London to Monte Carlo, my darling if someone was in there or not, David was doing and I think it's wrong, but it wasn't a Bugatti Veyron, was it? No, that one's very few women.

I think it was the SLS. No.

Nope wrong. Rutherford was apostate wasn't a

Mustang? No I hate the ghani Zonda.

No, I say everyone. Everyone is in 42 points now

because we've all had a guess, what K?

So, here we go. I came out in 03 and went to

2017 and was designed by Ian Callum and fisca.

David. David a fisca.

Yeah. Designed by him but it wasn't

fisca. It wasn't a few scattered.

Okay, I'm very confused. Oh geez.

Um, I had a bit of a long production room and if you can think of what Ian Callum might have made around that time, wasn't he in Lord of the Rings? I don't see McKellar.

I was made by Aston Martin and came with a V12 with you.

Matthew, what's the DBS? Or not, I'll be the okay.

Hey they told bandage DB something David David DB9, yay, Dave Bing 9 boy, another point. I think arguably one of the best

looking cars ever made. Lovely thing.

It was a lovely looking car. Absolutely beautiful.

Well that leads us to my final question 2, takes all questions.

Yeah, Winner Takes all. So in Top Gear, I was in the

India Special and I was surrounded by British made cars.

So there's a hint. Well british-made Cars, one of

them was driven or who had this somehow doesn't matter who had it, but there was a classic Rover mini and the other one was a jaguar xjs. What's the other Matthew and

Matthew? It was a Rolls-Royce was a

Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Hmm, got it, damn it, sorry.

How many points is Matthew on now all the point 3 6, 9 12, 15 18, 2120 came in second, I think that's more Force.

Second place on two points, is David prints and in fourth place, is, is Robin 1.5 and run a robe and Edward bunting, yet.

The score, that's not actually top key.

Questions isn't gonna happen, next time.

I think we'll just go back to my normal three-point Carla.

Normal programming. Cryptic actually really liking

this Patrick ones. What I was thinking I might do a

mix of some cryptic cars with the three pointers in that theological drizzled in here. You know it definitely sprinkled

in but will bring back some, cryptic cars, I think wherever you want a soda number is this 400.

And this would be And 5959. Okay well and a probably the

highest score on the quiz. Probably your name will be

forever up next to that so it's only right podcast new record at home when all right on that quiz to Top Gear fans might have been yelling Yelling out loud while they're listening to the podcast and people looking around going. What the hell is wrong with

this? Love it.

Absolutely love it. Thank you.

Speaker. That I would that was awesome

gentleman. I think that's a podcast.

Thank you. Matthew Matthew, I think we

covered some really important cause of Australian history for the last few episodes. So it's been, it's been really
