00:00
You have a massive creamer!
00:01
All-round tyres is proud to provide umchongs and sco-spineers.
00:06
You can fit two sausage rolls in one hand.
00:08
I've bought a Lamborghini Glace.
00:15
Hello, and welcome back to the Cars Rule Everything Around Me podcast with myself, Will,
00:20
Edwin, to the right of me. Hello.
00:23
Just no one behind the camera today.
00:25
I may ask AI to do an artistic recreation of where Ben is right now, but he's not
00:28
behind the camera. Ben is in Mallorca.
00:30
He's just straight up holidaying.
00:34
Ignoring our messages.
00:36
Searching for Spanish emergency services to block.
00:39
Anyway, we'll get on to a little bit more Ben bullying a little bit later on,
00:43
He's not here to defend himself, so it's great.
00:44
It's nothing he can do.
00:46
But before that, at the beginning of every single one of these podcasts,
00:48
we ask ourselves, to Cars Rule, of ruin everything around us.
00:52
Would you like to...
00:56
A for what is behind me.
00:58
So for those of you not blessed with sight, behind us, we have a Nissan 300ZX,
01:03
which I bought alongside Jack from all the gear.
01:06
We went 50-50 on this car.
01:08
Back when it was at Carthorough.
01:09
This car is a Carthorough car.
01:11
It was going to get scrapped because the company wasn't going to do anything with it.
01:14
So we said, give us a go on then.
01:16
We'll give you some money.
01:19
That's the actual recording of Jack Joyce saying that.
01:22
So yeah, we bought the car and it sat for years.
01:24
We thought, today, now is the time to get it back up and going.
01:28
But it's not been going well.
01:30
Everything that could have got...
01:31
Nothing's gone like badly wrong.
01:33
Which is very small.
01:34
It's just very small.
01:34
Yeah, because it's an older car where there's bits like,
01:36
oh, sorry, you haven't got the 1991 version of that.
01:39
Therefore, it doesn't fit.
01:40
So this car was supposed to be done by the end of today.
01:44
This engine is still a part.
01:45
Now that the other thing is I bought these wheels.
01:47
Really nice BBSRG wheels.
01:49
They're like a period optional thing on lots of Japanese cars.
01:52
And I didn't check that the sandball was correct.
01:55
And so I had to have the machined out.
01:56
And now they're too close to the caliper.
01:58
So now I need to get some spacers.
01:59
So it's all going well.
02:01
And then worse than that is that last night was on the way home
02:04
and I was going off a hill in my M3.
02:06
And I could hear pinging.
02:10
People's playing ping pong in the back.
02:12
No, pinging, which is another word for detonation,
02:15
which happens when the head gasket is starting to go on M3s,
02:18
which they go a lot.
02:19
They don't go with coolant.
02:20
You don't blow a head gasket like with coolant.
02:22
You blow it between cylinders.
02:24
So that noise is the compression leaking between the cylinders.
02:27
I need to get that checked.
02:28
So I was excited to bring it to the Chelsea Walsh,
02:30
which is happening this weekend.
02:31
But the time you've heard this, that will have happened.
02:34
But I didn't bring the M3 because that's broken.
02:37
That is a tough one.
02:37
Any other, no other issues across the fleet?
02:42
No update from Jeremy.
02:44
Jeremy, he's playing hot and cold with me.
02:47
I've been, I've been,
02:48
it's probably because I'm sending him upwards of five emails a day.
02:51
How's it going, Jeremy?
02:52
Any, any, any progress on that?
02:54
We, we moving along or?
02:55
Cute morning texts from Edwin.
02:57
You, Jeremy, how's France?
03:01
It's just to be insurance call or?
03:03
The head gasket thing, that is a tough one.
03:04
Yeah, it's a tough one.
03:05
Ben's going to be listening to that going, yeah.
03:08
You all laughed at me.
03:11
So yeah, it's, no, it's,
03:12
we're up in some ways and down in others.
03:14
So, hey, that's with all weeks.
03:17
I'm going to go with the rule.
03:20
For a car that I'll mention in a sec.
03:22
Other than that, it would have been a ruin because again,
03:25
we've got a Chelsea water coming up on Sunday.
03:27
It was quite looking forward to that.
03:28
And the plan was, is that I was going to take my,
03:31
well, I was going to take potential new car
03:33
that I will mention.
03:34
And if that wasn't ready, I would take my McGann.
03:36
And also alongside that, we would have the Jaguar XFR
03:40
So that can go up the hill as well,
03:41
because it sounds very, very cool.
03:43
None of those options have worked out.
03:44
I will be going in the Range Rover
03:46
and probably walking up the hill at this stage.
03:48
Oh, we should also say there is the RS6 coming.
03:51
But, and that video might not have gone out yet.
03:53
We won't spoil it fully.
03:54
But there's a bill to get that car going.
03:56
And it's six figures.
03:59
Six figures is a hundred pounds.
04:00
It could be six figures.
04:01
Maths with TDC never goes well.
04:03
Five figures and not, not in a good way.
04:05
Well, yeah, we'll leave that for the video,
04:07
but that is a cool car.
04:09
We really like that car.
04:10
But speaking of cool cars,
04:11
now Ben's not here.
04:12
Also, let's quickly get a check on Ben.
04:13
Ben, is it rural or ruin?
04:15
Anyway, I think it's ruined probably.
04:17
Shall I actually rig it?
04:17
Shall I ring it quickly?
04:19
Where is it going to be?
04:20
Let's disturb his holiday.
04:22
New Yorker time right now.
04:24
Now let's get a quick Benjamin on the call.
04:27
He might, he might be really upset by this.
04:29
It's only 10 past seven.
04:30
It's 10 past seven.
04:31
He's out with dinner.
04:31
He's got a couple of sangrias.
04:33
He's out with dinner.
04:34
He's, he's thinking,
04:35
I haven't heard from all week.
04:37
It's been incredible.
04:43
No, how do you format this SD card?
04:47
It's not, it's not for that.
04:48
Benjamin, is it a rural or ruin this week?
04:51
It's a podcast, mate.
04:54
No, it's actually a ruin.
04:55
I haven't even driven a car for a week, but.
04:58
But is it, has it been peaceful?
04:59
Has it been tranquil?
05:02
Yeah, it has because I haven't,
05:03
I haven't had a car to worry about.
05:04
I thought you were going to say,
05:05
I thought you were going to say,
05:06
because you haven't, you two haven't been here.
05:08
Well, also that, to be fair.
05:10
And in the last, in the last,
05:12
I've got home in it by the last half an hour.
05:14
And I'm now trying to chase him up.
05:15
You're back in England.
05:16
He's here and he's not on the podcast.
05:17
You're back in England.
05:18
So, so where's that edit?
05:20
And you're not here.
05:20
That's what I'm going to ask you the same question.
05:25
Well, I'm glad you're home safe.
05:26
But yes, thank you.
05:27
Thank you very much, Ben.
05:28
We just want to check in.
05:29
We can't do it without you.
05:32
I hope you have a great one.
05:35
There we go, folks.
05:36
So he's landed in the UK and he hasn't,
05:38
he didn't, he didn't ask.
05:40
Also, he would have landed in Heathrow.
05:41
He drove past there.
05:42
Drive straight past us.
05:46
Ben's not here because you've been keeping a secret from Ben.
05:48
We've all been attempting to keep a secret from Ben.
05:51
I have an inkling that he knows.
05:53
He knows because he's been,
05:55
he's been suspecting something for a while.
05:58
I've bought a Lamborghini glass.
06:02
Well, it's actually, it was a few weeks ago.
06:03
It's the car was miles away in Scotland.
06:05
So it's all being, being arranged
06:07
and it's meant to be being delivered on Wednesday.
06:10
So the day before this goes out.
06:11
So the day before this goes out.
06:12
So, which is why this can happen.
06:14
So Ben wouldn't have seen this cut for the podcast
06:17
and he would have seen it in person.
06:20
So what's the story?
06:21
So, well, in the background, searching for one,
06:25
a manual one, a yellow one.
06:27
There's been some others.
06:28
Manuals don't come up very, very often.
06:30
No, not good ones any.
06:31
Well, no, manuals really.
06:34
So I've been searching in the background.
06:35
I've had absolutely every search going
06:37
and actually it was a few podcasts ago.
06:39
It's probably about a month,
06:40
maybe five weeks ago.
06:41
We filmed a podcast, finished podcast,
06:43
looked at my phone, saw a notification that just said
06:46
it was a piston heads one, I think, that said,
06:48
new cars, new search results available.
06:52
Gallardo in Aberdeen.
06:54
It was on some horrible wheels,
06:55
but it was the perfect Gallardo.
06:58
I'll put it up for right now.
07:01
It'll be on the site.
07:02
Oh, it's still on the site.
07:04
And I just sent them a message straight away.
07:06
I was like, I didn't even know how it was going to happen,
07:09
but I was like, I need to just message them and get in with it.
07:11
The next morning, they sent me...
07:12
The peaceful thing called finance would have to happen, right?
07:15
The next morning, I got a call from them.
07:19
They basically sent me loads of videos.
07:20
Because again, this car was like 10 hours from me.
07:22
You're going, hell, that's just down the road, buddy.
07:29
Color is Jellomidas, I believe.
07:31
Which is a couple of other ones,
07:32
which is a super like a pearly yellow.
07:35
Imagine an early Gallardo.
07:36
And it's got your favorite wheels on earth.
07:38
It's got the wheels that I really hate.
07:41
I was rather hoping that those wheels would really put people off
07:43
and I thought, no, I was going to want this.
07:45
When I got a call from the guy, he said,
07:46
and again, some of this might be sales field,
07:48
but I've met the guys.
07:49
I don't think it's that.
07:50
And they said, this is one of the most popular cars we've had.
07:53
It like off the bat.
07:55
And they had, I was the second person to inquire about it.
07:57
And as soon as he told me that,
07:58
I was like, I will give you a deposit right now.
08:01
And then since then, I've been trying to sort it out.
08:04
I've been to see it.
08:05
It is just amazing.
08:07
I've been so excited by it.
08:08
I only have two photos of it.
08:10
I took one photo of the back and one of the front,
08:13
so I could send it to my mom and to my dad,
08:15
to my girlfriend up there.
08:16
And other than that, all I've just been doing
08:18
is looking at these photos, going, wow.
08:20
I keep showing my girlfriend, going, look at that.
08:24
And I go, it's a Lamborghini.
08:26
It's a Lamborghini.
08:28
And it is a gated manual.
08:30
Gated manual with very, very, it's like 10,000 miles,
08:32
which is, which worried me a little bit,
08:34
but it means to me, that is to a collector,
08:37
that's wow, but that way, and it'll make money.
08:39
To me, I now have a ceiling.
08:42
Put loads of miles on it and be at the same as everyone else.
08:44
I'll be at the same as everyone else.
08:45
So yeah, it's straight piped, very, very loud.
08:49
I need to sort that out.
08:50
I always make more wheels for it.
08:52
Yeah, yeah, make it louder.
08:53
I actually don't think it can get louder.
08:55
You showed the video, the video, the basin,
08:58
which is the car is in the distance
08:59
and you can't see it yet.
09:00
And it's as if it's going past you.
09:02
And then it comes around the corner
09:03
as a spec in the distance.
09:04
I took my girlfriend, we flew up to Aberdeen
09:07
and to go and look at the car, basically,
09:10
after I'd agreed to buy it, which is a great idea.
09:13
I would have been sold on it either way.
09:15
And he started it because Paul, who was dealing with it,
09:18
says that the Auto Lounge, he said to me, he's like,
09:20
it's loud. I said, that's fine.
09:21
He said, no, it's loud.
09:25
And then he started it up and it wasn't a warehouse
09:27
and it's disgustingly loud.
09:29
So that might, which I was 18, great.
09:32
And your neighbors just a few feet away from?
09:34
Yeah, kind of connected to your house.
09:35
Yeah, they should be, they should be fine with it.
09:38
They should be fine with it.
09:39
Doris, do you like the 5-liter over the 5-2?
09:41
My next door neighbor has a Morgan.
09:45
That's sort of loud, but I don't think he'd appreciate.
09:47
You know, a sort of GT3 car starting up on the next door neighbor.
09:51
But yeah, hopefully it should be here Wednesday.
09:53
It needs a small issue fixing.
09:56
But so we have, well, you have, but with the aid of all of us
09:59
being trying to keep it from Ben, because Ben keeps going,
10:02
well, when you're buying a Colorado van
10:04
and it became funny to try and keep it from Ben.
10:07
I don't even know why, but it's just, it is funny.
10:09
But there's, there was, there've been a couple of slip-ups.
10:11
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor did and went,
10:13
when are you getting this Colorado?
10:14
Well, and then we went, we went.
10:16
So, um, when one comes up, yeah.
10:19
Whenever one comes up, I'll look into it, you know.
10:21
And then, well, there's been a couple of Instagram stories recently
10:24
that one was a, there was a holy story that we both did.
10:27
And I mentioned that I'd just flown to see a car
10:30
and Ben sent me a message and sent,
10:32
just flown to see a car.
10:33
He sent the Dokes meme from next to that.
10:38
And I got, I got out of it on that one.
10:40
I think he said, okay, you've wiggled your way out of this one.
10:43
And then I posted about asking you about car storage,
10:45
which I think I'm still looking for at this stage.
10:47
And he, and I put a picture of the McGann on for good reason.
10:54
Reeks of galardo in here.
10:56
So Ben may see it arrive and say it and just go, oh.
10:59
It'll go, yeah, no, I was, I already rug up the show room
11:01
and got them to give me your address.
11:03
So yeah, that should happen next week.
11:05
But that is, that is incredible.
11:06
Already bought wheels for it.
11:09
Original wheels, tires.
11:13
Spaces are ordered as well.
11:14
There's a few bits needed.
11:15
It's been like slightly modified in a way that I'm not that keen on,
11:19
but it's all reversible stuff.
11:22
One half of the cream dream car lineup done.
11:26
Jeremy, mate, come on.
11:28
Although actually, not regrettably,
11:30
because I'm very much looking forward to the galardo.
11:32
In the last week, a Mercy Largo came up in a,
11:37
what would almost be the perfect fashion.
11:39
This was a Japanese car.
11:40
No history at the auctions.
11:42
I think the starting price was about 108,000 US dollars,
11:44
which is obviously a hell of a lot.
11:46
But bearing in mind in the UK,
11:47
these are selling at three, 400,000 pounds now
11:51
They had yellow seats, which you liked.
11:52
I thought it was kind of cool.
11:53
I wasn't so keen on,
11:54
but these are things you can change.
11:55
Other than that, it was absolutely perfect.
11:57
But Japanese auctions are really,
11:59
I found out two days before the auction started,
12:02
it's difficult to do anything about that
12:03
when there's already a galardo on the way.
12:05
So if you thought that and you paid 8.50, good luck.
12:08
Also, horrible financial ruin to get a galardo.
12:11
Oh, let me put it one step further.
12:12
Let me get the mafia involved in a loan shark.
12:15
I did have someone almost immediately
12:17
asked to buy the galardo from me.
12:19
I talked to a specialist and he went,
12:20
Oh, is that a 10,000 mile gated manual galardo?
12:23
Yeah, you went, sounds mad, but would you sell it?
12:28
Because that's Rob from Strataspares who said,
12:30
Hey, I could also, because I said,
12:33
sell Ferrari parts.
12:35
So you can find some 550 parts.
12:37
You can put one together for me.
12:38
I can, but they will still be expensive.
12:41
TDC's, well, Creamer's really moved,
12:44
moved from ship boxes to very expensive cars.
12:47
And it's quite worrying.
12:48
I'm very extremely worried about it.
12:50
But don't worry if you're listening to this going,
12:52
Oh, I want to see there's a Fira.
12:54
Hey, we're more probably more excited
12:56
about the Zafira than the other stuff.
12:58
You brought me here.
12:59
I'm a massive creamer.
13:01
So I was, I was filling up the other day at the petrol station
13:04
and a man, I was on the far left side of the pumps at Tesco's,
13:08
which is the self fill up thing.
13:10
A man pulled up a TT on the far right.
13:14
I don't think I got your name when he came over,
13:16
but he said he was on the complete other side of the petrol station
13:20
and he shouted from the other side of the petrol station,
13:23
I'm a massive creamer.
13:25
And everyone in the petrol station looked over,
13:28
kind of a little bit worried, but more confused
13:32
and kind of angry towards me,
13:34
towards the person that they, the person he had said it to.
13:36
So I got quite a lot of worried looks there.
13:39
I think it's funny.
13:41
Why is he shouting at that man?
13:42
It turns out he doesn't watch the podcast.
13:43
Are they having fun?
13:44
He doesn't watch the podcast at all.
13:45
He was just letting something else.
13:46
He's just letting me know.
13:48
But yeah, shout out to you for letting me know.
13:51
Say it slightly more peacefully.
13:53
It was aggressive the way he said it.
13:55
It should almost feel like it should be a bit more discreet.
13:58
You do it secretly go, by the way, I'm a massive creamer.
14:02
No, not across the floor.
14:03
You have a massive creamer.
14:05
It's not to be shouted, it's to be just subtle.
14:08
We're an underground society.
14:10
Being a creamer is...
14:11
You speak in hushed tones.
14:13
First rule of creaming, don't talk about creaming.
14:15
We don't talk about cream club.
14:18
Next up on here we have Too Fast, If You're Us Mustang.
14:20
Yes, I've got no idea what this is in reference to.
14:23
I watched Too Fast If You're Us.
14:24
Here's one I made earlier.
14:26
Is it this right here?
14:28
It's a Selene S281.
14:30
Which I think it looks cool in there.
14:32
Because it's one of the few cars in that film that aren't mad, mad.
14:35
Like in terms of graphics and stuff.
14:36
Whereas like the Evo looks like ass.
14:39
But that, I thought, looks quite nice.
14:41
Sorry, actually you care a lot.
14:43
No, mine's an anecdote to add to it.
14:45
Well, I'll tell you my only thought again.
14:47
I tried to watch...
14:48
I did watch Too Fast If You're Us.
14:49
I thought, let me have them.
14:50
I'll watch it with my girlfriend.
14:51
Do you mean the best movie I've ever made?
14:53
Yeah, Ben's going...
14:54
I actually believe that.
14:55
That's my favorite movie.
14:56
It's not my favorite movie, but it is.
14:57
I can easily watch the first 20 to 25 minutes.
15:00
After that, I get...
15:01
A little bit, yeah.
15:02
I'm sort of Eva Mendes.
15:06
But anyway, there's Mustang that I'm trying to get to.
15:08
What a horrific death.
15:10
For what he's actually...
15:11
Like I don't know if it's...
15:13
I don't actually know what rating it is.
15:15
Yeah, it's nothing mad.
15:17
That's an awful way to die.
15:18
That's final destination.
15:20
For those of you that haven't seen it,
15:22
there are two trucks, two 18-wheelers, big rigs,
15:26
driving along in, for some reason, the far right lane,
15:29
and then the far...
15:30
Well, in our four-lane motorway, on the third lane.
15:33
So there's a space in between.
15:34
Straight up, I think that's illegal.
15:36
I know it's illegal here.
15:38
Maybe it's not illegal in America.
15:40
The protagonists ying up the middle of the two trailers,
15:44
and then for some reason,
15:45
they start both merging into the middle lane,
15:48
the Mustang gets caught on the back wheel
15:51
and slides under the rear wheels of the truck.
15:53
The truck trailer goes over the top
15:55
and crashes the roof in on the sling.
15:59
You're turned into a piece of gammon.
16:00
And then a C5 Corvette crashes into
16:03
what was left of the Mustang and rolls.
16:06
Which wasn't scripted, by the way.
16:08
I've seen this a million times,
16:09
and I just thought,
16:10
no, it's actually...
16:13
That is a full death in this bus.
16:14
I wonder if the editor, they looked at us and went,
16:18
Also, the way it starts is like,
16:19
yeah, bend over, boy.
16:23
Then scene act two, going to kill a man.
16:25
No, he's just dead.
16:27
And then after that, they're going to...
16:28
Everyone's going to pull up
16:29
and they're going to be happy
16:29
and they're going to be cheering again.
16:31
But open cast kit, forget it.
16:32
But we won't forget about the death.
16:34
But yeah, that car, that's quite cool.
16:36
That car, there was a Craig Liebman video on it.
16:40
They wanted more cars for more variety,
16:42
which is why all of that race was kind of put in.
16:45
And that car, Celine, actually provided.
16:47
I want to say it's called Liz Stick,
16:50
instead of Liz Stick.
16:51
Because the wife of Celine, man,
16:53
Celine man, is Celine Dion,
16:58
Again, don't know why I know that.
17:00
But yeah, that car was provided
17:01
and they wrecked, they had a real one
17:03
and then two fakes.
17:04
And the one that got crushed,
17:05
the guy that also, the one that got crushed,
17:07
I know that as a fact.
17:09
That's kind of weird.
17:09
But yeah, that was a thought about that film.
17:12
Also, again, watching that,
17:13
there was the scene where
17:16
Mr. Walker, Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Gibson,
17:19
they go to a party.
17:27
Right, O'Connor and Paul Walker.
17:28
And they go to a party by a thing
17:31
and there's lots of women and there's cars.
17:32
And then my girlfriend,
17:34
this is when she lost interest,
17:35
she just looked at me and went,
17:36
I can see why you liked this movie.
17:39
Look, that's a child.
17:41
I'm watching it right now.
17:43
That's, there are so many good quotes.
17:48
I don't care if you,
17:52
watch movies for the plot supposition.
17:55
I much prefer a Slovakian movie in black and white.
17:58
Honestly, it's amazing.
18:00
It's not about that at the same,
18:02
but Too Fast If You're Us is a fun movie.
18:05
Both of these things wired up like I've never seen before.
18:07
Even if you don't take it seriously,
18:09
you go, that's a cheesy line.
18:12
I will quite often say to people who've never watched Fast and Furious,
18:15
let's see if you've got the balls kid.
18:17
And they will often be just completely baffled.
18:19
Real funny, Fonzie.
18:22
This could, this podcast could be at least
18:24
Too Fast If You're Us length,
18:28
Getting them ever so slightly wrong.
18:30
It's just slightly wrong.
18:32
You've put in a Toyota or,
18:34
sorry, Toyota turns.
18:35
Oh, I'm assuming it's Toyota.
18:37
That is, I was in the,
18:39
I went to go and collect these wheels the other day.
18:41
And I was in the old Land Cruiser,
18:43
the, it's like a 98 Amazon Land Cruiser,
18:45
the one that the guys have got,
18:46
actually might be newer anyway.
18:48
And across from me at Junction was a 2025 plate
18:52
Aorus or something.
18:53
And I realized our indicators
18:57
were moving at the exact same speed.
19:00
But that implies Toyota has never changed the speed
19:03
of their indicator signals,
19:06
Is there like an industry standard?
19:08
But I've never, but they're not,
19:09
because then sometimes you see them
19:11
they go out of sync with another car.
19:14
So it's satisfying when you get them in sync
19:15
and then they move out.
19:16
I don't know why, why does that happen?
19:17
But so manufacturers are different,
19:19
but do they then change over time?
19:21
Does some new Coda come in and go,
19:23
I don't like the 0.2 seconds.
19:25
I'm moving to a 0.25.
19:27
That's always a blink of an eye if possible.
19:28
But crazy, Toyota just said,
19:32
And that'll be the same for 20 years.
19:34
Even if the car's old.
19:37
No matter the bulb.
19:41
The next one, I can't read out loud.
19:44
No, because it would spoil it.
19:48
Again, same trip I was driving.
19:50
And I don't know about you,
19:51
but I quite often like,
19:52
I like looking into other people's cars.
19:54
I'm a peeping Tom, as it were.
19:58
And I saw one of the most incredible ones I've ever seen.
20:03
And my girlfriend will back this up,
20:05
is that what I think that is?
20:06
She looked over and went,
20:08
my God, yes that is.
20:09
We'd left the services.
20:12
It was a man in a small van,
20:13
like a sight hand or like a combo van.
20:16
And he was dual wielding two sausage rolls in his hand.
20:21
Now, not, you could quite, I could say, right,
20:25
cream classic line,
20:26
you can fit two sausage rolls in one hand.
20:29
Well, I don't know why you need to.
20:32
Could you not just finish one?
20:33
Also, one could be put down.
20:34
But he had, he was holding at 10 and two,
20:37
but like with the backs of his hands,
20:39
because the fronts were holding two sausage rolls
20:42
behind the steering wheel.
20:43
But the interesting thing,
20:44
one was in the bag, one was not.
20:47
One was just crumbs everywhere.
20:48
Just a straight up pastry,
20:50
just pastry sausage roll in hand, bagging the other.
20:53
That's, that's, that is psychotic.
20:56
And I, we were alongside him for long enough
20:58
to know that it wasn't like he was just picking one up
21:00
and putting one down.
21:01
He was riding it out.
21:02
That's how I'm driving.
21:03
He was straight up raw dog in two sausage rolls in hand.
21:07
I'm on the motorway for the next 50 miles.
21:10
He's probably listening going,
21:11
what's wrong with that?
21:12
I had three at one point.
21:13
He is, he is exercising his free will.
21:16
Can, can I hold two sausage rolls?
21:19
Do I have two hands on the wheel?
21:20
Officer, is it illegal?
21:23
Sorry, my hands need to touch the wheel,
21:25
not the sausage rolls.
21:26
But I, I love that.
21:29
I love looking at what people are doing.
21:30
And that's one of the most bizarre things in cars.
21:34
I can't, I think we talked about this before,
21:35
but it's the people that are on the phone in the car.
21:37
And I look at it and it's a 2025 car.
21:39
You have the ability.
21:40
You have Bluetooth.
21:42
You have this or that they have the face time
21:44
and people doing wild things.
21:46
So that's, that's a classic.
21:47
So I'm going to keep my out for more,
21:48
but dual sausage roll, a Kimbo sausage rolls,
21:51
Now the creamers must have some stories.
21:53
But if you have, if you have a scene in public,
21:57
a scene, a candid driving spot,
22:00
let us know in the comments.
22:01
We'll know if you're lying as well.
22:04
It can't be more extreme than two-spot sausage rolls.
22:06
Don't say like two donuts, mate.
22:09
You know, the best foods to eat.
22:11
Can I, can I interact?
22:12
It's not on the list,
22:14
someone messaged in this morning.
22:15
I don't have the name, but,
22:17
but thank you very much for sending it in.
22:19
It was an addition to Bullshit High Names.
22:23
Now I'm going to start,
22:24
I'm going to start with the,
22:27
the first one that he said in,
22:28
I'm going to do them in order.
22:29
Firstly, we've got this,
22:30
which I have seen before.
22:35
W-A-N-D-A, the wonders.
22:37
I don't think it's that crazy.
22:38
It's not the worst.
22:39
But it's an interesting one.
22:41
Now we're going to move over to the,
22:42
now he, he said he works for in,
22:46
golf cart maintenance.
22:47
So different tires there than,
22:49
than what we see around them out.
22:50
We're moving over to the second one here.
22:52
I mean, can you read that one?
22:55
That is a, that is a junkie.
22:57
That's the junkies.
23:02
So it could be junk AI,
23:03
but I like the junkies.
23:06
the final and by far best.
23:07
This was my favourite one.
23:08
This is, Hall of Fame already,
23:15
that is M-M-C-H-O-N-G.
23:20
like the little sort of symbol they've got.
23:22
It is like a little caterpillar sort of thing.
23:25
Now these are the sort of companies that
23:27
they probably could go into car tyres.
23:32
On a long enough timeline,
23:35
M-Chongs will be the Mercedes-Benz tyre choice.
23:39
We did actually recently buy tyres for the E-55.
23:43
And that was the K-PATOS.
23:46
But we were saying,
23:48
there is a long enough timeline on which
23:49
cream gets its own tyre.
23:51
We could make it happen.
23:53
we were spitballing some tyre names,
23:56
some ideas for tyre names.
23:57
We could run a set of creamers.
23:58
We had running creamers.
24:02
We were thinking about the Ben Rogers.
24:04
Oh, a couple of Rogers.
24:05
A couple of Rogers.
24:06
We were also thinking it would be Ben Rogers.
24:08
And then he's just full of dress on the other side
24:10
That would be a type of thing.
24:11
Like I won't say that out loud.
24:13
Then Ben right now.
24:13
Right to the type of thing.
24:14
No, no, no, no, no, wait.
24:16
What there was something else that we had
24:18
that was quite good?
24:22
there was the Debbie McBingles.
24:24
I'm running a couple of Debbie's out front.
24:26
Debbie's out front and some Rogers out back.
24:28
I've got the McBingle 4S on this one. These are nice.
24:31
These are the wet tyres.
24:33
But Mchongs, I'm very... If you own Mchong or you work there, we're very interested in having a car station.
24:40
I'm actually going to have a quick look and just check if they have made any car tyres.
24:44
It might be because I've got an import only. We need to import some Mchong tyres.
24:48
If we can get... It's for the micro car.
24:54
Now, what's interesting is I... Google literally has nothing about that.
24:59
Nothing about Mchongs.
25:03
We could be being had.
25:04
So that might be the only Mchong on earth.
25:08
He just made that tyre.
25:10
If you are a tyre brand, you've got links to the tyre industry.
25:14
Get in touch. We're up for making our own tyres.
25:16
Please, can we have our own tyres?
25:17
And they can be like 44p.
25:19
We can just call them ditch finders.
25:22
That would be good.
25:24
Can we have just called ditch finders?
25:25
Can we have creamed ditch finders?
25:27
Some tyre kickers and some ditch finders.
25:31
And some all-round tyres.
25:32
All-round tyres we like.
25:33
All-round tyres, tyre kickers and some ditch finders.
25:36
People are buying those tyres.
25:37
All-round tyres is the thing we said in one of our previous videos.
25:40
And there was a comment saying, why isn't this a thing yet?
25:42
It's all-round tyres.
25:45
Black circles and as the tyres are going...
25:49
We might make that one up.
25:50
All-round tyres is proud to provide umchongs and skospeneers.
25:58
Moving on to the next thing on the list.
26:00
We have the Elise VHPK.
26:02
Now, I am going to mention before I go into this,
26:06
that this news is ben in nature.
26:08
Is it misinformation?
26:10
It's not even misinformation.
26:12
I have no information.
26:13
I have minimal information.
26:19
Because it's not full information.
26:20
With a seat in the middle.
26:22
Now, this is the...
26:24
From what I could find on Google.
26:25
Yeah, that's the only site I've seen.
26:27
With, yes, a coming like a client F1.
26:31
I should have researched it.
26:32
But the seat in the middle is what interested me,
26:33
because I thought a small, light automobile.
26:38
With a seat in the middle,
26:39
preferably possibly being made by a man with a zesty shirt and a moustache.
26:43
Therefore, 25 million pounds, please.
26:45
Please charge the money.
26:47
I don't know what engine is it.
26:48
I know what engine is in it.
26:49
I remember reading it.
26:49
This could be lies.
26:50
It could be my memory playing up.
26:52
It's a K series as in a...
26:54
But with like 240, 50 horsepower.
26:57
Again, could be lies.
26:58
Could it be an actual K series that doesn't make that standard?
27:02
Okay, that makes...
27:03
Didn't read that far.
27:05
You really have channeled Ben, I thought Ben needs to...
27:08
Ben, right now listen to the podcast.
27:11
I love not knowing anything at all.
27:13
I've learned so much, but also so little.
27:18
I guess that might be one of the easiest cars on earth to do a send to see.
27:21
Like no cables, no space for cables,
27:25
because the VX220 didn't have a tunnel, did it?
27:27
There will be cables.
27:29
No, it's in their cables,
27:30
but they didn't go through a big tunnel in the middle.
27:32
No, it's just there for...
27:33
So you could just take the seat out and move it.
27:36
But leave the gear stick where it is.
27:38
You're driving, it's like...
27:39
So you're like double sausage roll, man.
27:41
You let go of both hands on the wheel, shift, and then back on the wheel.
27:45
It's more of pitching the nose down than changing gear.
27:48
But send to see that the steering wheel is still on the right.
27:52
The pedals are just still over there.
27:53
It's just like supposedly what driver you're couldn't ask is.
27:55
Where you're just from the Italians.
27:56
It's a fantastic driving position.
27:59
This is your beautiful car for me.
28:01
The pedals are just out of reach.
28:04
But yeah, so if you would like to know more about our car,
28:06
feel free to Google it.
28:07
Feel free to Google it, which by the time this episode comes out,
28:10
it'll probably be out, have been sold fully,
28:12
and be back in production.
28:14
Or just not happening at all.
28:16
Next thing on here, we've got a piece of JLR news that should maybe laugh.
28:20
Yes, there was a cyber attack recently,
28:23
which I wasn't even aware of was even happening.
28:26
There was a massive cyber attack happening,
28:27
and I was none the wiser despite the JLR link that we have here.
28:31
But our JLR link, Mr. Tom Lenthal, is how we knew,
28:34
because our Jaguar XFR, I mentioned earlier,
28:37
is currently being a little bastard at his at Tom Lenthal's,
28:40
having its brain rearranged.
28:42
And it doesn't actually know.
28:43
It's had a lobotomy.
28:45
It has had a lobotomy.
28:47
But Tom basically said,
28:48
I can't order any parts because we've been cyber attacked.
28:50
Well, not Tom has, but as in Jaguar has.
28:53
So anyone wanting to buy genuine Jaguar parts
28:55
hasn't been able to do it,
28:56
because a small boy on the internet
28:57
decided to hack into Jaguar.
28:59
Can I let you know something?
29:00
When we bought all of the parts through JLR for the XFR,
29:04
it was all your details.
29:05
Just so you know that.
29:06
So it is your details they have.
29:08
So they know that Mr. Chandler works out of this address.
29:12
And they're going to sell out information to the high screener.
29:14
Enjoy that, Russia.
29:17
Yes, they are working on a 300.
29:20
I'm not doing there.
29:22
He's also slightly Dutch.
29:25
JLR reportedly does not know
29:27
where 40,000 vehicles built before the cyber attack
29:31
are currently located.
29:33
So these are brand new cars that haven't been delivered,
29:35
So obviously, JLR, lots of Jaguar stuff.
29:37
They're not actually making any,
29:38
but I assume there are still cars hanging around that they are selling.
29:41
And there's lots of Range Rovers, blah, blah, blah.
29:43
They just don't have 40,000 cars.
29:46
So then they just went, where did they go?
29:48
If you live near a dock or something,
29:50
and there's just, you can see new Jaguar Land Rovers
29:52
or Jaguar Land Rovers or Range Rovers,
29:55
but stickers on them, just nick one.
29:58
They have nowhere of knowing.
29:59
I have no idea where it is.
30:00
Never seen that car before in my life.
30:02
Jaguar going around to everyone.
30:03
Mate, is this one of your cars?
30:05
Is this a 2002 S-type?
30:08
If you see one, let me know, though.
30:09
But I just want to know how you do that.
30:13
Because it's a lot of cars.
30:16
Also, surely they exist on a physical list somewhere?
30:22
Surely it can't all be digital?
30:23
It can't be like a dealership,
30:26
and then someone walks in and goes, where did that car come from?
30:30
I don't remember that being there yesterday.
30:32
Could I just ask all the dealers?
30:37
Always sold them all.
30:40
Meanwhile, the parts are going out back.
30:42
Five evokes on this driveway.
30:44
Just quickly disassembling them.
30:47
Couple of SVRs out back.
30:48
I've never seen that before.
30:50
That was 40,000 vehicles.
30:51
But when they come out, well, how do you do that?
30:53
I mean, that's just insane.
30:55
So did that hack then, they just wiped the system?
31:00
Because unless, if they didn't,
31:02
then that's just someone who can't remember that password.
31:05
The list is in here.
31:06
I just can't get to it.
31:07
Don't know where they are.
31:08
Why are you picking on JLR?
31:10
We beat them when they're down.
31:12
They've got their own problems to deal with right now.
31:14
And you're going, you know what?
31:14
Well, you know, hack them.
31:19
I hate that, Jaguar.
31:21
So that rebrand, you know what?
31:22
Go, won't go broke.
31:25
I'm cyber attacking you.
31:27
D-dosing your brand.
31:29
But if anyone knows where the cars are, let's know.
31:33
Well, there's 40,000 rain drivers on my street.
31:36
They're probably just in like airport parking somewhere.
31:38
They're just going, yeah.
31:41
We're going to find out about some of these cars in like 20 years.
31:44
This is a one of one spec rain driver or Jag that's, you know, gone missing.
31:50
Next up, you've put in here the Ian H comment.
31:52
I think I know what this is.
31:54
We were the wonderful.
31:55
We talked about the fact that 007, 007 Ian H was a plate.
32:00
And not only was there one comment that you saw.
32:02
I saw another one this morning that said it's Ian Fleming was the guy
32:07
that wrote the books, you idiots.
32:09
Do you understand alphabets?
32:13
Mr. Fleming, writing the books of James Bond.
32:17
I thought for a moment that you could.
32:22
That's a great point.
32:22
I was thinking you could potentially, could you make an H an F?
32:26
But I saw it and it was quite visibly an H.
32:31
I don't think you could.
32:32
So I understand who wrote the books and the creator of James Bond.
32:36
I don't think you understand, Will.
32:37
But I don't think he drives an I-Pace currently.
32:40
Ian H is the man who didn't write James Bond.
32:43
So of course it makes sense.
32:48
Now we may be under wraps up.
32:49
Perhaps Ian F. wasn't available.
32:51
So Ian Fleming, his full name, Ian Lancaster Fleming.
32:57
And it's an L for you who commented.
33:00
We could potentially at the same time,
33:01
to speaking of comments,
33:02
we could move on to our number one hater.
33:04
We've got other bits to get to,
33:05
but our biggest hater has been revealed.
33:09
And we're not going to say his name,
33:10
because it's quite fun.
33:12
We think that would appease him.
33:14
We think that would make him pleased.
33:15
But he's left many hateful comments.
33:18
And we're nice people.
33:20
We talked with Cav a few episodes ago
33:23
about the fact that on YouTube,
33:24
you can see when someone comments,
33:26
you can click on the name
33:27
and it shows you every one of their other comments.
33:30
And we have seen a name consistently popping up
33:32
always with some poison to spew,
33:36
which to be fair, I'm on board for.
33:39
It is a open forum.
33:42
I'm happy for you to let us know.
33:44
It's, as we said before,
33:46
we worked on Facebook before.
33:47
There ain't nothing you can say to her.
33:50
But every single time it's always,
33:52
oh, that's an interesting comment.
33:53
Let me click on their name.
33:54
Ah, still watching, are we?
33:56
Even though every single time it's,
33:58
this is absolute shit.
33:59
So one of the first ones
34:01
was to do the Gallardo pronunciation,
34:03
which I stand by, by the way.
34:05
That Valentino Balboni saying
34:06
that the Gallardo was Gallardo, not Gallardo.
34:10
We responded to him
34:10
and he replied to that in the next episode
34:14
you've just proved my point,
34:15
basically, that we're assholes.
34:16
Also, as a quick aside,
34:18
we were talking about this the other day.
34:19
If you want to go down that road,
34:21
It always has to be Porsche then.
34:23
Can't be a Porsche.
34:25
It cannot be Mercy Lago.
34:28
It can't be Kuntash,
34:30
because that would be Kuntash.
34:32
So what is it then?
34:34
is either all of them are incorrect
34:36
or none of them are incorrect.
34:37
It's not how it works.
34:38
He learned about the pronunciation
34:40
of Febi Bilstein last week,
34:41
which is, I don't know,
34:42
I'm assuming it'll be Bilstein.
34:45
But also, I'm not putting on an accent
34:46
for everything I say.
34:47
Also, we speak to the guys
34:48
at Febi Bilstein every day.
34:50
That's how they say it.
34:51
That's literally, we work for this company
34:54
So to our number one hater,
34:55
please keep putting on.
34:56
It actually entertains us beyond belief.
34:59
Every week it's another comment.
35:01
We're going to respond to your hate
35:03
We love your comments.
35:05
Love for you, Muggie.
35:09
say it again tomorrow if possible.
35:12
But that's, that is the best thing
35:13
about internet hate.
35:15
They'll always be back tomorrow.
35:16
Even though they hate it,
35:18
He's absolutely fuming
35:20
in his pitch right now.
35:22
Oh, god, I hate them.
35:24
Greenland 2 is making an impact
35:28
It's deeply emotional
35:29
and better than the first.
35:30
I wanted you beginning first, Muggie.
35:32
You'll be holding your breath
35:33
from start to finish.
35:35
Grab onto something.
35:36
Greenland 2, migration,
35:38
Want a secret to free holiday gifts?
35:40
TikTok Slash & Free makes it real.
35:43
Slash the price to zero,
35:44
free item, free shipping.
35:46
Download an open TikTok,
35:50
and start slashing now.
35:56
You got like half an hour through
35:58
and went, oh, I hate these guys.
36:00
I give them a chance every week.
36:02
Well, I wonder what it is that he gets to.
36:04
I might have to have a look at
36:05
what point each of those bits he has.
36:07
He goes, you know what?
36:08
I was all good with, you know,
36:10
and Ben was blocking God.
36:12
Not a mention of Ben blocking doctors.
36:14
He's on Ben's side.
36:15
He listens for Ben.
36:17
He's Ben's fan and our hater.
36:19
So he's much illisting for this podcast.
36:24
others out there that we haven't spotted that.
36:25
They're going, is that me?
36:27
If the shoe fits, then fine.
36:30
But there is one of you out there
36:31
and you stand out like a sore thumb.
36:32
It's us in other people's comments.
36:36
We get a comment on your YouTube channel.
36:38
Rackets, he doesn't have one.
36:43
Oh, that's the same one.
36:44
Because I think we also had another email
36:45
with another brand.
36:50
The Tire brand was called an Eskimo.
36:51
If you send that, many thanks.
36:52
We are still looking.
36:54
We're going to compile a massive list of all the greatest.
36:56
And then we're going to message them all
36:57
and ask if we can have a special edition Eskimo creamer.
37:02
Now, I'm really hoping that the Eskimo Tires are winter tires.
37:06
Let's have a quick check.
37:06
Eskimo tires surely cannot be a summer tire.
37:09
It would make no sense.
37:10
Eskimo tires, that is...
37:12
We're entirely right.
37:14
That is a passenger winter.
37:20
It's who makes that tire.
37:22
Like as in when a French person asks you, how are you doing?
37:27
That is who they do.
37:28
They do the Eskimo S3.
37:32
Yeah, they just do 73 different S3s.
37:35
73 different Eskimos.
37:37
Yeah, no, I just pulled it up expecting to see different versions.
37:40
And this is what we've got here.
37:41
We've just got all of the different fitments of Eskimo tires.
37:48
With on Rubbex.com, which is actually quite an awful name as well.
37:51
Not sure about that.
37:52
I think I have to put my ID to get on that site.
37:57
Now, last week when we had Ben on here, when he very kindly gave us his time to be on the podcast.
38:05
He got very, very angry talking about Audi RS6 lights.
38:09
And the meaning of which.
38:10
And Edwin, you've had a thought or I think a comment.
38:12
Well, I want to save that for next week.
38:14
But we have had a lot of people in the comments.
38:16
A, who are either friends or do not or are designers who said, you know,
38:22
people don't just make up things, but we will get back to this.
38:24
But no, I'm going to save that for Ben.
38:26
I'm going to put a little Ben in person on that.
38:28
It's a little, you know what, Ben?
38:29
First day back, right?
38:30
It answer to this then, mate.
38:31
I know I've been away for a week, but what the?
38:35
So last thing we have on here, check my list.
38:37
I'll check it twice.
38:38
Is the forum question.
38:40
Now I have a question from, I haven't got his name.
38:43
I have got his name.
38:46
Don't know what those names.
38:47
Those numbers mean forum question.
38:49
Hello, cream masters.
38:51
I'm just wondering, with you two recently selling your cars,
38:54
planning to sell your cars at the sheer amount you've had in the past,
38:57
how do you know when it is the right time for you to sell?
38:59
For context, I'm 30 years old and living in the UK,
39:02
having owned five cars.
39:03
I'm assuming that's in the past, not currently.
39:06
The last I purchased is my 1986 Mini,
39:08
which the previous owner had owned for 25 years.
39:10
When he sold it to me, I could see the pain in his eyes
39:13
as I don't think he wanted to sell it at all,
39:14
but had to due to a divorce and a house move.
39:17
I recently have been debating after two years of ownership of selling it on,
39:20
but future regret and hindsight is a wonderful thing.
39:23
Love all three channels content.
39:26
And actually, you've got a question.
39:28
And Ben is our number one hater.
39:29
We've just revealed it.
39:30
That's what he's the one.
39:31
He's a big, big hater.
39:32
That's a big question for us.
39:34
Thank you very much.
39:39
It's very difficult to say.
39:40
I don't think there is a tangible
39:43
here's the time to sell.
39:44
For me, there is a feeling right now.
39:46
I have that feeling with like the Range Rover.
39:48
I have that feeling where it's like,
39:50
but that's a natural.
39:53
Oh, I'm kind of done with this now.
39:55
I feel like moving on to something else.
39:56
Not everyone feels like that.
39:58
I'm just not the person who keeps the cars for years.
40:00
Whereas some people want to get rid of a car through
40:03
necessity, whether it's broken or because it's costing too much
40:06
or because of like you said, a divorce or whatever.
40:08
Funny enough, the Gallardo as far as I'm aware is a similar situation.
40:12
Guys had it for 12, 13 years, would have kept it forever,
40:17
but due to divorce, whatever else, it has to go.
40:20
Personal circumstance.
40:21
There's obviously those reasons.
40:22
But to me, normally it is a,
40:24
I get this feeling where I don't feel the same
40:26
towards the car anymore.
40:28
And I go, well, I should probably get rid of it.
40:30
I think if you're considering selling it for any reason,
40:35
other than practicality, i.e.
40:37
I need to sell this because I have no space in the driveway
40:40
or I need the money for X or Y.
40:42
If you have any feeling of maybe I should consider selling it,
40:46
it's time for the car to go.
40:47
You don't, you aren't that into it.
40:50
Like my M3, I have never, I can genuinely say,
40:53
I've never at any point ever considered wanting to get rid of that car.
40:57
My C54, and I'm pretty, I'm the opposite.
40:59
I think about, I want to keep every car I've ever owned.
41:02
Every single car, my little Marcon Clio I sold for 300 quid,
41:05
I would have in a perfect world kept that.
41:08
Would have never done anything with it.
41:09
But if I had the space, I'd keep it and go,
41:11
Marcon Clio, for no reason.
41:14
So I'm on the flip end of a, the idiot part,
41:18
where it's nice to keep everything.
41:19
But even my C55, which I realized I haven't spoken about yet,
41:24
there was a point where I was like, cool, this is time.
41:28
I've had, I've felt what I wanted to feel, time to move on.
41:32
And sometimes it's different with like dailies,
41:33
or maybe if you're not as much into cars,
41:36
you might feel differently about those cars.
41:37
Or if it, again, if it's the car you're using every day
41:39
to go to work, you don't have the same attachment.
41:41
My mum's car recently had a like a timing belt issue,
41:44
standard EcoBoost stuff.
41:47
So then there was like a, oh, do I fix it
41:49
and keep it for another five, 10 years or whatever?
41:52
Or do I sell it for a very, very cheap price
41:54
and move on to another car?
41:55
And then it, so sometimes there's things like that,
41:57
where you go, well, okay, so are we going to cost me this?
42:00
But then if I put the money in,
42:01
I can then keep it for another five years.
42:03
But for me, it's normally, I feel like this needs to go
42:07
because there's something else.
42:08
Normally for me, it's this.
42:09
You want to move on?
42:10
I've seen another car.
42:11
I go, right, that, for that car to be bought,
42:14
this one needs to go.
42:17
But I think what you said here
42:18
about future regret and hindsight, it will always happen.
42:22
If that is a car that you've felt anything towards,
42:25
i.e. you've loved it to use car people terms,
42:28
which I know you probably don't do that as much,
42:31
but I will do that.
42:32
I still think like a nostalgia.
42:34
Every single car I've had, there's always a,
42:36
have we liked that car?
42:37
And in my head, I go, I would say right now,
42:40
I wish I still had it.
42:43
Yeah, that's my point.
42:44
It moved on at the right time.
42:45
If you, whenever you look back on any car,
42:47
you only remember the good times you have the car.
42:49
Even when you remember the times it broke down
42:51
or left you stranded, you go,
42:53
ah, well, I made it through that.
42:55
So it was still, it was a bit of character in the end.
42:57
You forget about all of the actually annoying times
43:00
or things that that car did that annoyed you.
43:02
So you go, oh God, if you gave them a chance,
43:03
I'd have it back in a moment.
43:05
You see it quite a lot.
43:06
People buying back a car that they had previously,
43:08
they don't keep it forever.
43:10
They keep it for another few months and then go,
43:12
no, I remember why I sold it.
43:14
If you sold it for any reason,
43:15
other than necessity for selling, it's time to go.
43:19
You've done that car move on.
43:21
So it reminded me of the Clio that comment.
43:24
I mentioned I sold the Clio, right?
43:26
And I actually, I wanted to mention that obviously,
43:28
I sold that car to Taylor and he hasn't sold that on.
43:31
He did offer it to me back for the exact same price.
43:34
He wasn't expecting to sell it so quickly.
43:38
He bought a very, very cool car that I am very, very annoyed about,
43:41
which I can't remember.
43:42
We might have mentioned this before.
43:43
But now that car is sold.
43:44
I actually got a message from the guy who owns it.
43:46
So I'm hoping that car will stay amongst the living
43:48
because it's a very cool car.
43:50
But I had the opportunity to buy that car back
43:52
for the exact same price.
43:53
And I just thought, well, what it would have been doing
43:56
the same thing as it was doing before.
43:58
We'd sat on the driveway not doing anything.
44:00
It might as well go to someone else
44:01
who's actually going to do something with it.
44:02
So plus all of your money and time is going to be spent.
44:06
And I just don't want the reminder anymore of it going,
44:08
that's where all my money went.
44:12
But I don't think I did.
44:13
Did I talk about the Mercedes situation last book?
44:16
I don't think I did either.
44:17
Basically, I said many moons ago
44:20
that I wanted to sell my C55 AMG Merc,
44:23
but I didn't want to sell it
44:25
being with lots of little bits and bobs
44:27
that I needed doing
44:28
to someone who may not want to work on it
44:31
and it go wrong on them.
44:33
So I took it to a local Mercedes specialist
44:35
and said, can you please just go through the car
44:37
find anything that's kind of wrong
44:39
and just do it for me?
44:41
So I had seen that there was a drip of transmission fluid somewhere.
44:46
So I was like, can you please just have a look into that,
44:48
check all that sort of stuff.
44:49
Guy said, yeah, cool.
44:51
I got a message like three or four weeks later saying,
44:55
which I was like, it's quite taken quite a while,
44:57
but fine, we were offered America.
44:59
And it said, have you had any luck finding that pipe yet?
45:05
They're like, oh yeah,
45:06
there's a transmission pipe that is what the leak is from
45:09
that is it's just dripping ever so slightly.
45:12
Do you want to replace it?
45:13
It's no longer available though from Mercedes.
45:15
So I thought you were looking for it.
45:18
I was like, I haven't heard anything about this.
45:21
And they were like, oh, sorry,
45:23
I thought we called you about this.
45:24
No, can you have a look for one?
45:26
I was like, yeah, all right, cool.
45:28
So I started looking for one, couldn't find one.
45:29
There is a used one that I couldn't find,
45:31
but I was like, right,
45:32
I reckon I can probably get this by the end of the week.
45:34
I got cool last week
45:35
and it was the owner of the Merck place.
45:38
So I was like, cool, news, something's happened.
45:40
As far as I'd been aware,
45:42
he had done a transmission service until that point,
45:44
but the fluid was dripping out anyway.
45:47
So he said, yeah, I said, how are you doing mate?
45:49
And he went, yeah, not good.
45:50
I'm closing the business down today.
45:52
Your C55 actually broke him.
45:54
And I was like, what?
45:55
And he went, yeah, no, it's just too much stuff going on.
45:57
So I'm closing the business, you need to pick up today.
46:00
And so I had to turn it up.
46:02
He also said, I want cash
46:04
because I'm closing the business down.
46:06
I was like, okay, I guess I can go.
46:07
So I had to pay him for a transmission service.
46:09
Bear in mind, this is the first time I've taken my car
46:12
to anyone in maybe five years,
46:14
other than Uves, who does I'll BMW stuff,
46:18
He's incredible at his job.
46:20
The first time I've taken any car to anywhere
46:23
in the last five years,
46:25
closed his business down when I was working on my car.
46:28
It's not meant to happen.
46:29
So I went there and he was like, yeah, battery's dead.
46:31
So I still don't have a keyblade for it.
46:32
So I had to jump it through the fog light again,
46:35
got into the car, jumpstarted it,
46:36
and he went, yeah, it's pissing out transmission flow,
46:38
by the way, because I haven't put that part back on fully.
46:41
So I had to limp it home.
46:43
And now it's sitting on the drive at home,
46:45
mashed worse than I dropped it to him.
46:47
And I look, I get it.
46:48
He's had something has gone on in his life.
46:50
I didn't ask, I didn't want to ask.
46:52
I'm not, I'm not blaming him for that at all.
46:54
I'm now in a worse position than I was before with that car.
46:57
Well, not free storage, but storage for a little bit.
47:00
But I now need to do more work for that car to fix it before I set it on.
47:04
So I don't want it.
47:05
Like I want rid of it now.
47:07
I'm in this position where I want it sold,
47:08
but it's just sitting there.
47:10
But I might try and drive that over here tomorrow.
47:12
So I can do some bits to it.
47:14
Because you fair, the McGann has been in a similar situation.
47:18
I was meant to mention this earlier.
47:20
McGann is similar sort of thing.
47:22
They had basically sort of everything on it.
47:24
But there's one last thing is where the brake pedal was just soft as hell.
47:27
It took it to a track day, soft as hell.
47:29
Obviously went to Landau when we went there with everyone else.
47:33
And I was very annoyed, drove three hours, had half a lap, like soft brake.
47:37
Because it works day over.
47:38
Right up until you're like braking from super, super speed,
47:42
you know, like 100 mile an hour, whatever.
47:44
And then you just lose all the pedal.
47:46
It's just not safe.
47:47
So I sent it to Beanie Sport, which is a Renault specialist to that.
47:50
And this is nothing on them, by the way.
47:52
This is a mystery car.
47:54
I mean, he's gone above and beyond.
47:56
He has gone above and beyond on this car
47:57
and spent hours and hours and hours looking at it.
48:00
I've spent hours and hours looking at it.
48:01
And I've, all of the calipers have been replaced.
48:05
Front lines, the rear lines, they've switched out the master cylinder.
48:10
Which is a big job.
48:11
That car has had more brake fluid through it.
48:13
Those brake lines are so, so clean.
48:17
There can't be a speck of anything in there.
48:19
That pedal should be so rock solid.
48:21
It should feel like the ultimate brake pedal,
48:23
but it just doesn't feel right.
48:26
So he called me the other day and was like,
48:29
look, I think I know my stuff with these Megans.
48:31
And they do, if you look, go to their place.
48:33
And everyone recommends Beanie Sport for that generation of Megan
48:36
and just sort of fast Renaults in general.
48:38
He's just like, I'm just running out of ideas.
48:42
So where he thinks that there's one last thing we might try.
48:45
I'm hoping that ABS pump related.
48:49
After that, it's up to the gods, I think.
48:51
Because I mean, and I'm also, I'm glad I'm not doing that
48:54
because it would have taken me far longer to get through everything.
48:56
He's taken all the calipers off.
48:58
And these are brand new calipers.
48:59
Take them off, cleaned everything, make sure it's all working properly.
49:02
I mean, he even said he wouldn't charge you for it, right?
49:03
Because of how much?
49:04
Yeah, he didn't charge me for the diagnosis of it
49:06
because he was like, I haven't found anything.
49:09
So that to me is always the mark of a good,
49:11
of a good specialist or a good shop.
49:14
Is they're willing to admit that something took time,
49:18
which to be fair, more often than not, I'm happy to pay for.
49:20
Because it would have taken me longer.
49:22
But whenever they do that and they go,
49:24
okay, but we're not going to charge you for it
49:25
because we didn't find it, I'm always like, right,
49:28
okay, that is a good sign that you are honest.
49:31
I can't remember if I mentioned it before,
49:32
but when I picked it up from him last time,
49:35
they're about 20 minutes from Bedford Auto Drip.
49:37
And this was about a week after we came back from Monterey.
49:39
I don't know if you know, but we went to Monterey.
49:40
We went to Monterey, we haven't mentioned it much.
49:42
I haven't mentioned it in a couple of weeks, I think,
49:44
just to remind you.
49:45
No, we did last week.
49:46
Yeah, and the week before, the week before.
49:48
So next week, yeah, we'll let you know.
49:49
Just to remind you.
49:50
But I said to him, I'm going to come pick it up.
49:52
When I went to pick it up, I said,
49:53
oh, I'm just going to take it straight from here to Bedford.
49:59
So literally, 20th was down the road, took it to a track,
50:01
and it was better, but not, you know, still the same.
50:04
It was also the first track day I ever took my girlfriend to.
50:07
And that's the one with the front brakes.
50:10
Didn't he offer to come down to the track?
50:12
Briss came to the track and inspected it.
50:14
He came down with like a, what do you call it, a gun?
50:17
Just shoot the car.
50:20
Don't bring this back.
50:21
He wanted to check the temperatures on all the disc spaces
50:23
to make sure it was breaking, like, you know, it was all
50:25
that they were actually breaking evenly and whatever.
50:28
But yeah, it was great.
50:29
Convinced my girlfriend.
50:30
I was like, please just come to a track day.
50:32
You'll understand and usually ask it driving a little bit more.
50:35
Took her out on the, they do like a, not parade lamp,
50:38
what do you call it, like a sighting lamp, that's it.
50:40
Where you go out on a queue with everyone else.
50:42
And it's genuinely maybe 20 to 30% of what you'd actually do on track.
50:46
And we came back in and she went,
50:48
I did not like that.
50:50
And then I came back in and said,
50:52
my brakes are spongy and she heard,
50:54
again, to someone who doesn't know, they go,
50:56
so your brakes aren't working.
50:57
And you're going a hundred miles an hour.
50:59
Okay, no, I'm not going back out.
51:01
So maybe one day she'll be convinced to go back out
51:03
and maybe something that works.
51:05
Don't I have the same conversation with my girlfriend.
51:07
So I said, I've come to the next track there.
51:09
I've got to book on for the end of the year.
51:11
She was like, I'm not doing, I'm not doing it again.
51:13
She was like a passenger seat,
51:14
but it's the passenger seat thing.
51:18
when you don't have something to hold on to
51:20
and you're not expect,
51:22
you don't know what a car's going to do.
51:24
Like I know they're going to start breaking in a second now.
51:27
You're just a floppy rag doll.
51:29
And that is not fun.
51:31
So I think either there should be a handlebar on the dash if you hold
51:35
just or a steering wheel,
51:36
fake on like a plane reveal, child one.
51:38
Or I was thinking it'd be cool if they did that track days,
51:41
like a partner slash friends lap,
51:44
where they can, your friends who aren't going fast.
51:47
They can, everyone goes out on like a sedate lap.
51:49
Oh, driving around.
51:50
You're just driving around the lap.
51:52
Just so that any way they want.
51:53
Oh, it's like traffic.
51:55
There's a line up the middle.
51:56
It's just something both of us.
51:57
But so that whoever's there who doesn't want to go in your passenger seat,
52:00
because my friend's girlfriend,
52:02
when we went to Anglesey was the same.
52:04
I've never been out.
52:05
Went out for one lap.
52:06
But it didn't go well.
52:08
She was laying on the floor afterwards.
52:09
She was like, I'm not, I'm not enjoying this.
52:12
But if they were somewhere where it could just,
52:14
just be a poodle around.
52:16
I don't think track days are the track day organizers.
52:18
Can we send like really inexperienced people out?
52:21
Just among like, let them loose.
52:25
However, I was coming into quite,
52:28
quite a lot of speed into a hairpin up at the top.
52:31
And I, my hand went to go through the indicator.
52:33
Which would be quite fine.
52:34
Which is also mid Scandinavian flick.
52:37
While I was just about to go for Scandinavian flick.
52:39
I went, better, better just indicate going right around here.
52:44
Just maneuver over into the pits.
52:46
You just pulled over to the right and stopped the vehicle.
52:48
Can we do a 3.10 here?
52:50
Reverse in the road.
52:51
I need to do another track day soon, actually.
52:52
I need to have a little look at what's available.
52:54
We're going into the worst time of year.
52:56
No, well, it is unless you have a road or a car.
53:02
With no brakes as well.
53:04
Are you, do you want to say that you're potentially,
53:06
you want to, you want to do some videos and raffle that car off?
53:09
I would like to give that car away.
53:10
At the end of this year, because I have a,
53:13
there was another car, another white car,
53:15
lingering somewhere in the background.
53:17
A really cool project.
53:18
I've been being offered for the last four years.
53:21
So if the McGann goes, then I can replace it with that.
53:25
It's a V8 and I want it bad.
53:28
Also, a TEC doesn't narrow it down very much.
53:30
There's lots of V8s around.
53:32
But it's a white V8.
53:36
I think we've done a forum.
53:37
We've done, I was about to say we've done a podcast.
53:39
We have certainly done one of those.
53:41
These are roads as well.
53:42
These are roads as well.
53:43
For those of you still with us,
53:44
that is something I actually said while reviewing the E60M5.
53:48
While driving on a road.
53:49
We are liquid auto journalists.
53:51
These are roads as well.
53:55
Thank you very much for listening to the Cars Roll,
53:57
everything around me podcast.
53:58
We'll be back next week with Benjamin hopefully next time.
54:01
And perhaps there'll be a Lamborghini Galardo behind us.
54:07
You know what? There probably won't be a clear 182.
54:09
It's silver by the way.
54:10
There may not even be a Ben.
54:10
See if he pulls to turn up.
54:13
Thank you very much for listening.
54:14
Remember, Cars Roll, everything around me.
54:16
Cream, get the money.
54:17
Dollar, dollar, bill y'all.
54:19
Still could be much soon.
