Yeah, but it's a dog that you decided to shoot because you thought it was getting too old. There's been videos of people who drive F1 cars, normies, regular folk, unlike me.
Yeah, that's what I was waiting for that. Yeah, yeah, you drive that F1 car really well. That's it, it's over.
Hello, and welcome back to the 61st Cars Rule, everything around me with myself, Edward, William to my left and Benjamin to the behind. Hello.
I didn't kind of mess that up, but hey, we'll carry on with this.
At the beginning of every Cars Rule, everything around me podcast, we answer the question, do cars rule or do they ruin everything around us this week?
Ben, I'm throwing it. Oh, back to you. Stop with this.
It is going to be a mixture of the two. That's not how that works.
Okay, it's going to be. No rule, because nothing's happened.
Okay. I still have an F2000, which I'm dealing for some reason and bananas to myself, and I have no current daily or plans to buy one.
Now, what is the current front runner? Yes, 2000 as a daily.
Yeah. Now, I just want to, because I listened back to something that we said before, which is that Ben, at the next podcast, Ben will come in.
It will be a completely different daily. And so far, we're true to that word. I think we started.
We started on. I don't know what it was. There was a golf seven in there.
It was a golf GTI and a golf GTI and a three thirty D all sorts.
And now we settle on nothing. I don't know.
I'm sure. Ben has told us today that he doesn't want to do it anymore.
He's just giving it up. He's out of care. That's actually completely fair.
Yeah. I don't know. And now, do you know what that means?
You're going to have a load of people come and go, oh, you should buy my 1972 net answer.
Hey, guys. I appreciate it. I don't want it. I just don't.
I just don't know. Ben doesn't want anything.
I don't know what I want. And I can't bother at this point.
So he's deep down. We know he does. Yeah.
Because we said, are you still happy about daily in the S2000?
He said, I'm not. I'm not. But so like, I don't understand where you're at.
It's sort of like limbo land. What it was. It's actually quite funny.
He said, so you happy driving the S2000? He went, obviously not.
It's like an upset way. Because what you don't want is to start hating us a thousand.
I am. I am. This whole operation was yours.
What is going on? I have regrets in life so many.
I have regrets buying the X5 in the first place.
Well, starting work here.
No, I like it here.
No, the X5, it's something very well.
But part of me is like, if I hadn't bought that, I wouldn't have just bought a daily then.
Does it hurt you seeing it arrive here most days?
You know, less than arriving here.
Less than I thought, it more annoys me the fact that I have, I just don't like buying cars.
I keep going to buy daily's.
Would you prefer, would it make you feel better if Jamie didn't turn up on money?
We were like, well, it's Jamie.
And then he was like, yeah, a cobbler, X5 blew up.
Would you feel like?
Why?
Because I saw him a dog, haven't I?
Yeah, but it's a dog that you decided to shoot because you thought it was getting too old.
You just gave away a dog.
No, I didn't shoot the dog.
And it wasn't just for Christmas.
There was no reason to believe the dog will die.
I got to December 26th.
My dog is old.
Don't want this dog anymore.
My dog is old.
And at some point it will die.
So I'll get rid of it.
No, I'm going to get rid of it.
Please, I'm sad.
Let me just say it.
Let me just say it.
Because this is not, this is, I never said I was worried it was going to die.
I said, I was, that isn't what I said.
I got rid of it because I didn't want to run it because of the cost of it.
Jamie, listen to this.
Yeah.
That Bill's got too much.
He took it, took it to get his teeth brushed away.
I think it's how much.
But it's not even the vet bill.
It's, it's the perspective of the vet bill.
It's the vet going, mate, just to say no next year he's going to want to get this remote.
If my dog needs a new heart, it's going to be expensive.
Done.
Sell the dog.
Okay.
The car had some things that needed doing to it, which Jamie is well aware of.
Okay.
I sought him for a very good price.
This is like a politician.
No, I'm saying that he was the reason I got rid of it is because I didn't want to do those bits.
I thought I didn't want to have, because it cost a lot of money.
And I didn't want to have to do that.
And then more stuff go wrong.
I heard.
Because I'm doing the manager on it.
It was.
It was.
It was.
That's the way it works.
You didn't come to it.
So busy selling daily is it appears.
Jamie, come over and said.
I was talking.
I talked to Vance with Benjamin.
I couldn't believe it.
I really couldn't believe it.
And he said.
Well, it's just a list of things.
And then there was a message.
It was quite a long now.
Did we, I don't know if he talks about it last week but technically you have been a hand of an official air.
Yes.
Or is that.
Yeah, you know you have because I would like to read back and listen back to show you.
because Ben did sell the car before Chrysler, Mary Chrysler.
Yeah, so I don't want to take the L yet, you know,
you have a little sponsor like a board of a judicator.
And when is that board and he's a judicator?
A board.
To be fair, so we'll explain that one though.
Overall.
Rowan, but then that's surely a row in that.
It's got to be that can't be anything but Rowan.
Yeah, but the S2000 is good, but I don't want to daily it
because it's December, right?
It's just going to rust away.
We earlier on, Ben kindly said, I'll go to the BP.
And so we'll allow writing lines for things and for songs.
Oh, we know that's what we do on the spectrum.
A Christmas song is coming out.
Hopefully, no.
And we heard it at the distance.
Boa.
Boa.
I was like, oh, Ben's outside.
And then you arrived a minute later.
It sounds great.
Don't need things all the way.
It has, I don't understand this right about that car.
This is just a bit of a...
You just have a take.
Honda, and a whole point in that car,
as far as my way, is that Honda said to the engineers,
make a really good car.
And that's why it's so good,
because there's no bottom line stuff.
It's just made the car good.
And then they went exhaust, now that.
No exhaust on that.
It has, as much exhaust noise as me.
Yeah.
Oh, it's a stack fight.
That's quite a lot.
I think that's it.
As it did get.
Oh, I mean, what's going on?
Yeah, factory cars are normally just a bit.
But that's the basic, even like factory sports cars have some,
it has nothing, it has literally nothing.
It's psyched.
Someone would get an exhaust on it.
But I don't know anymore what to do.
So it's a room for me.
Please, someone else tell me that you're good.
Well, I will say rule.
Okay.
And there's a peak reason for that.
And that is that I put an amplifier in the cell recently.
And that.
It made noise.
I am so happy listening to the radio right now.
I have now switched to a new form of culture.
I don't know how lucky I am now.
I've now got audio and I'm like,
I'm already taking advantage of it.
And now all I have is the radio.
So I have got Susan saying that.
Now my cat has got AIDS.
I want to, Ebon, you'll be with me on this one.
I want to talk about something about your radio.
We all made a crazy statement earlier.
So we'll hate the radio as a way to hear the radio.
I mean, now has audio and it's car.
But you have new Bluetooth, correct?
I can do telephone calls.
But you can't listen to music completely.
Why don't you ring someone who has Bluetooth
and then they play it down the phone?
Well, this is the point I'm beginning to.
So we said to Will, Will was like,
I'm going to put Bluetooth in the car, Apple Carplouse.
This week?
Yeah.
But then you can play about listening to radios.
So Edwin made a good point of, why don't you just
tend pretty for the week?
Just get yourself one of those little radio dongles.
I have one in this thousandth.
I've been using that.
Sorry, I'll listen to that.
And Will refuses.
You'd rather listen to the radio and complain
than just buy something.
Now the radio isn't good enough.
No, I'm not being like, no.
You are.
Yeah, that is what I say.
But the radio is not perfect.
Absolutely not.
But it is better than listening to 109.7 on your transmitter,
which comes out of one speaker and is crackly.
And you drive past someone doing the same thing
and it goes, got it, got it, got it.
Yeah, but like Edwin said, wouldn't you rather listen
to music, not very high quality?
No.
No, I will put in the hours, the hard hours of either silence
or Chris Miles to be able to listen to my music properly.
To be fair, two months of silence was another week
to a man like, well, of course, but you're not in science.
You're listening to the radio and complaining about it.
As if you have no other option.
But it's got better.
Look, you're making the complaint here.
You didn't, Ben, you don't want to hear
that Wendy from Hertfordshire has.
I don't care.
I'm really interested in the kidney stones this week.
Is this what this is?
The dog shit.
The dog shit.
The dog shit.
But it's not that easy.
That's the name for the show, actually.
I can't help.
Whenever I listen to the radio, this is a entirely separate topic
that I don't get into.
But the radio is dog shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, actually dog shit.
I believe it's the original brain rock.
If you listen to like even the transitions between each
like seen, it's like radio, eight, nine.
And there's so many different sound effects.
That is original brain rock.
Ben's tuning into American radio station.
Ben's on GTA radio.
I don't burn out paradise.
But you know what I mean?
It's raker.
And there's someone going, and today we've got a giveaway.
And there's so many.
There's so much shouting at that.
It's brain rock.
It's real.
Yeah.
But why isn't no one playing music?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think there might be a thing.
It's like a mutually agreed, like a gentleman's agreement
where they say like, you know, if one person is in an ad
break, they kind of all arm all, but you know, like.
So that you otherwise, you just put your radio on.
If I had a radio station, I'd wait till everyone else has got
it.
So I'm not going, right?
Crank it up.
Play stunt 101.
Let's go.
Although that's the worst part.
Because you go.
Someone goes.
And we're going to go to the advertisements now.
So you go to the next radio station.
They go.
But these windows are for sale over.
Why are they all on the ads at the same time?
Yeah.
It's so annoying.
But anyway, I do have audio, which is a plus.
And hopefully this week, I will have an actual.
Thing in there.
No music.
You did have an ale on the glado.
Yes.
Yes.
I don't think I have.
No.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
It was amazing.
Well, I love it.
It was all lovely.
This blowers came back, which was an issue.
I was blowing blows the flowers side.
And I could actually defrost the car.
Previously, I couldn't do that.
It was just messed up.
It was fixed.
And now it's not fixed.
It fixed itself after the Christmas meet where.
I think I might have mentioned this.
I feel like I've said this.
Probably you have people.
But anyway, we left that dunk it into me.
And it was the foggiest day.
I think on earth.
Ever.
Like ever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I had to stop in the middle of the road.
Okay.
Because I couldn't see.
The entire win.
Everything was messed up.
I had to blind people when they drove.
Yes.
Exactly what it was like.
And then my girlfriend was a little bit panicked by the entire situation.
Because there is my absolutely.
Basically, everything I own ever is in that car.
Yeah.
Basically.
And then have a dog.
Shout out the window.
Yeah.
And you know, it's not even got doors that go up.
So you can't even drive like that.
You know, so the poverty spec.
But that needs sorting.
Something is not.
Something is not working.
Pop the fuse again.
And an airbag like.
Yes.
The issue is it's a Lamborghini.
Oh, that's the one.
That's the one.
Yeah, that's the one.

So a ruin or a ruin.
And I'll call it a rule.
Okay, just because of the audio.
Because of how well that took.
That's how we know that how much we'll get about this.
The Lamborghini breaking.
He's not even cannot see it.
Because when we put, you were there.
We put the amp in and just white noise came out of it.
I've never been so pleased.
I'll be more than happy to listen to white noise.
It's so nice.
They're turning it up and down.
Look, I can change the volume.
It's great.
White noise across all channels.
Amazing.
But yeah, yourself.
It is a ruin.
There is still no rain drover.
You're probably going to hear me say this for the next eternity until I get one.
But more so than that, I was working on my Mercedes this weekend.
And it.
Thing after thing after thing went wrong on that.
But it's now looking like it's finally ready to go for sale.
And then the golf.
The multiple golf that is ready to go.
When will this have come out?
This will be the interior.
The interior will be out.
So you will have seen that we have installed the interior.
And that video was supposed to be about finished about.
Maybe a week.
Now call it half a week earlier.
So instead got finished this morning.
So it was an absolute rush.
Him and it's seven to fit in the interior to that car.
Which is fun.
But it's still it looks cool now on those seats.
So there are silver linings.
Overall.
It's the bumper.
It's the silver lining because it's silver.
It's right.
It's right silver.
It's now at Chris.
The painters.
So he'll be sorting it out.
I'm genuinely so excited to see that card on.
It's just cool.
They're both cool.
Yeah, it's very cool.
We can't wait to see.
But it's have them both on the road will be very, very nice.
It's a ruin of a thousand small cuts.
People work on cars.
You'll know it.
Just being.
You get you get trodden down by cars crashing over and over.
Cars just punching down.
However, there is something behind us.
Now we're not going to there is an upcoming video on it.
So we're not going to spoil too much.
But we bought another car.
I'll get on to that soon.
Everyone's saying we've buying too many cars.
We know.
We will get to them.
But we've bought new tow car.
Yeah.
It's behind us.
The client has gone.
Kind of sold sadly.
We need a day sensible, reliable, economical, sensible, reliable, reliable, tow car.
Yeah.
So, you know, not too much.
I think I speak for us all.
We say that the land room as we have access to here, possibly, you know, just terrible.
Just really.
Now, it is.
Well, when you find out what it is and some of you will see and you'll already know what it is,
I still don't think it's that dumb.
I don't think it is.
I genuinely don't think it is a.
Well, we'll say it's a V8 NA.
Yeah.
So, it's not.
He's got no turbos to get upset.
It's a simple a.
A stalwart of the of the of the brand.
It is an engine that has been known to just live and go.
So, you know, we'll see.
It does make 500 horsepower.
That's.
That's the point.
Towing needs power.
Exactly.
Towing needs talk.
And that's exactly what we've got.
And the.
The absolute dog shit Land Rover.
Is that normally a handling hanging around here tend to never work.
They really don't.
The amount of times I walk out and go.
I need to trail something today.
What is available?
And one of the other guys goes.
Well, there's that.
Oh, no, that's broken.
Okay.
Well, you could take.
Oh, no.
That was leaking diesel.
That was leaking coolant.
That was leaking.
Got no my tea because it can't pass one.
There's nothing.
You can't use anything.
Yeah.
It's all broken.
It's all broken this.
Send any voice note.

So, the one issue is this car doesn't have a tow box.
We do need to get that fitted.
But it will make a simply great lunch car for the gang.
So you'll see some of that on soon.
This is a live reaction on the podcast.
Ben made a deal with me regarding a yellow clear.
Speaking about earlier, I've received a message.
I received.
So there's a guy called Ash who I bought on the gang.
And he said, he sent me a message saying,
oh, if you'd like to borrow it for a week.
Actually, if I can, I'll try and find the message.
You said if you get your hand ready to sign on that paper basically.
I said, it won't count if I borrow the car.
No, I can't borrow the car.
And I said, can I please buy it?
And he said, no, because I'm going to break it for bits.
Sad.
It is a twice written off liquid yellow clear 197.
Now, 197, one of my favorite videos of all time.
I prefer that to a 200.
Agreed.
Renault people.
Non Renault people here.
182 are all these numbers.
What?
Versa 182?
I prefer 182.
But a 197 is a more livable thing.
They legitimately feel like actually good cars to use every day.
They're quite comfortable.
I got my friend to buy a Silverstone edition 200.
And I drove it around for a while because I owned it before him.
It's great.
Genuinely great.
It feels 182, if you've never driven one,
does feel like rolling around in a tin can.
If you feel any form of low impact,
there is a worry you die.
Yeah.
I like five miles out.
Someone's rolling a shopping trolley in,
written off cat and cat S,
structural cat, cat B, death inside the car.
197, 200.
It's great.
It's just solid.
Nice.
It's just nicer there.
And also you'd like standard,
you can get them in some slightly nicer colors and some nicer seats
and some other bits as well.
And there are just some different specs.
So I am quite distracted by that.
So he has just given me a price.
He has said he will sell it.
Now I've said,
I've said if Will doesn't buy,
I might want to.
I really would like to do quite wanted.
Do I tell you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What did you do, for the cause of you?
Was what is a deal?
I don't remember.
Basically, I just went to lose.
It was something like it was
You will not own a real clear by the end of the year.
By November.
By November.
By the time I'm 31,
You gave me until November.
You are carrying 31,
Yeah.
YL. I'm still 31,
Even.
I'll talk about that.
The very details around 91.
You said you were basically 35,
11 months to get a yellow.
Yeah, I don't know why I did that.
Also,
it was for Official L.
This is written, this is a written one as well, right?
And apology.
No, no, no, no, the written apology, we didn't know about
everyone listening about, and the fourth it was,
I had to give a will of written apology.
I would have provided it.
Oh, that was for the, that was for the,
that was for the logical.
There's five.
So, so next five.
Okay.
I didn't sell it by Christmas.
I would have to write the right will of written apology.
So this is just for an official L.
A handshake with perhaps an L play,
we'll sort something out.
I'd like some paperwork with it.
Yeah.
If I lose this, it's just cancelled out your current L.
Do you know how in a, I think it's an American,
maybe we do it here as well.
Sometimes for official documents,
you need a notary, someone to witness this.
We will have to notarize this L.
We'll have to have an official person come and witness the L
and hand it from one to the other.
I still argue it cancels the other out.
Because if I get an L, we'll already have no.
I think you can both hold the L.
You can both have one for separate circumstances.
We can all have one.
We can also have multiple.
Okay.
You know, you don't just get one, you could have a handful.
What's the price?
Three and a half.
Oh, that's cool.
That's very cheap.
It's very clear.
It's not that cheap for what it is.
No, it is a relatively high mile, double written off.
If you describe a clear one, nine, seven, like that,
someone, that's a two grand car.
Yeah, like if that is,
you'd probably be starting with a one realistically
and I've been in this sense of issues.
Oh, there's another issue just came through a minute ago.
It's just a third gear crunch.
That's an interesting one.
Oh.
Well, it's been put as cheap for the colour.
Basically, the colour is very rare.
Also, I would look like Maximus Cochus
with a, like a Pearl Yellow Cleo and Glado.
But that sounds nice to me.
I hope you enjoy third gear, mate.
Yeah, enjoy the daily.
Why not?
Right.
Shall we get onto some news and anecdotes
after that big old waffle?
Big news.
A week later, we sort of did it live,
but before it actually came out,
it came out 2 a.m. that day, basically.
And before we carry on to any degree, we made guesses.
And the creamers who will have listened to this episode now,
the previous one,
will notice, we all got the number right for the horsepower.
I haven't double checked.
Did you know this, Ben?
Did you say 641?
641 horsepower.
Did you just guess that?
Like, I think I said 3.9 meter V8.
Oh, I said, it's a full idiot.
I don't know anything.
But I also called it, I think I also said it was full drive.
You know, my, my intel was off.
It is.
Is it?
I didn't know that.
I thought it was electric at the front.
I was talking, I was talk-filling.
Anyway, should we talk, well, does anyone know anything
about anything at all?
I know.
The new Toyota GR GT.
And I want to say something, I was wrong.
OK, we'll get on to it because it's next piece of news.
But I just out of everything.
And we'll get on to that.
No, that's not what I was saying.
We got a project in more detail.
But I read, before, it was a rumor to be fair,
that I said last week that there was the Lex LFA successor
based on that same platform as a Lexus.
And we found out they released a concept at the same time.
Not based on the same thing.
But we'll get to that.
So talk about it.
Tell me about it.
It's electric.
So I've deliberately not read into anything
so that I may be a creamer listening.
You may explain it to me as a creamer.
There are three cars.
OK, kind of a one.
I think there's more than that in the world.
Kind of one is the GR GT.
I don't know what it's called.
So that is a successor to that one.
It's a GT3 car.
So it's like an actual GT3 car.
A race car.
Yeah.
Then there is a GR GT, which is the road car,
which is this new long bonnethood, quite nice looking thing.
And it looks a bit like an LFA, but new, but long.
No, it just looks like a Toyota.
What?
But it's sort of the spiritual successor to the LFA
to the 2000 GT.
Yes, 2000 GT is what's after it.
It has a V8.
A fully a V8, which I think we've got wrong, isn't there anything?
And 641 horsepower, which we've got right.
Somewhat hybrid?
Yes, so it's got like a hybrid system in the gearbox,
I think, for torque filling.
OK, is it a rear wheel drive then?
Yes, it is.
Lovely skids.
And some fun facts.
We'll talk me the price of it.
But 100 grand, right?
That's quite interesting.
100 grand.
Because there isn't that much now around 100 grand
other than 9.11s.
Yeah.
Not base model, but just above the base model 9.11.
I think it's what else is there?
MGGT 9.11 competitor type thing.
But I think it looks really good.
I quite like it.
I really like the way it looks.
They were awesome.
We watched the reveal video.
And they came in revving.
And not only were they revving, but they were so tuning.
They were super nice.
We played it.
We were both like, yeah.
And they both started doing it.
We went, oh, hold up.
What is that?
It was like, it was like F10M5.
Yeah, it's great.
It looks great.
He's a hot V.
So, but the weird thing is, I then, he's a hot V.
I've heard of video of it revving inside, I think, Fuji.
So there they did a reveal of it.
And it was doing some revving.
And I couldn't hear it there.
I'm wondering if it's only the GT3 car.
But I think homologated, they would usually
have to have the same turbos.
Meaning you could probably make it sound like that.
So that's cool.
I like it.
It had quite a lot of muted noise, but it had quite a lot
of pop some bangs overrun, I think is the word.
I like how it looks.
There are certain angles that it does look
like the, what's the, the, the Merlin engine Rolls-Royce thing?
The beast to be.
Yeah.
Is it the beast or is there something of tune in?
No, no.
I was talking about the, the old Rolls-Royce,
that they put the, it has some weird, there are some angles
where it just looks long.
Yeah, it does seem, it's like too long.
Yeah.
You need all that?
For what?
You really know that, all that knows.
About two of the eights.
Well, oh, I thought it was, I thought about two in there.
He is Merlin engine.
Merlin engine.
He's front mid engine.
What?
That's because it's so long.
Because the engine is behind the front wheels.
It's behind the front wheels.
So I had just put a bit like a S2000.
He has long nose because he has all that space
where the, where the axle is and then.
Cool.
But because of that, it's, I got some facts.
Here we go.
Run him.
Merlin engine technically.
Yep.
Which is always a fun one to bring out of the pub.
Transverse gearbox.
Nice.
Okay.
So a bit of weight distribution there.
Hot V.
Like a turbo lag.
I believe that is what that helps with.
And standard gravity is meant to be very, very, very low.
Okay.
Now, all that's saying to me is skids.
I can be doing some big skids.
I want to see.
I want to see.
Guys, I want a nice clean game.
It's a nice bit.
It's going to be an all auto though, right?
I'm assuming.
I'm okay with that.
Can we just appreciate it for a second?
There.
In 2025, 2026, there is 600 horsepower, which is, this
damage is pretty conservative, pretty standard setup in terms of like that they're going
for drivability to want to try to say is not, oh, this is a three and a half thousand
horsepower metric thing that we're going to sell nine of.
They're like, you know, here's a car.
It's, you know, it is, it's Japan 101.
Yeah.
They don't.
They're not there to chase the numbers like everyone else.
They're going, hey, I've spilled the car you want.
Now you've told me that Mr. President, there might be a third car.
It's called the Lexus LFA.
That, okay, that's interesting.
And you know what it is?
What is the year?
Is the year 2025?
No.
Or is it?
Yeah, this is the successor.
The official successor.
It's a concept currently.
Okay.
But it's electric.
What?
That is.
You can't do it.
You Lexus.
So hold on.
So take it back.
Is it the actual LFA, the same looking LFA that is now electric?
It looks quite good.
It looks like a modern LFA, I would say.
Okay.
So it's like a, it is a reimagination.
Yeah.
The photo will be on screen here.
The reason I was going to say, the reason I was going to say the photo is not going to
be on the screen is because of the backs.
I can't actually see the screen.
Now I might push it over.
The screen is close than usual today because the big car behind it's quite big for everyone
listening.
Edwin, just not the TV.
I want onto two laptops and two men with a paint and a full white.
On your computer, look at it just so you can have a cool Lexus LFA put 2026 concept.
I just don't get away with it.
I don't get away with it.
You can't.
Why use that name?
Yeah, that's not great.
This goodness, this goodness, this good way you've done with Toyota and whoever else.
And then you go, yeah, you know what, you know, that car very famous for it is V10.
It is the only thing it was famous for, really.
It makes me wonder what is going on in the house, common, the little, why is it every
manufacturer does this?
I don't understand.
Why would you go?
Every single person looks at it.
Well, logically, if we sell a car brand, right, we go, what do people want this, this
and this?
Let's do that.
Every other car brand goes right.
Okay.
One of the best exhaust notes of all time.
What are we going to do?
I think I'll try to get rid of it.
Sun, but we use the same name.
So people will remember that car, but they'll compare it alongside it.
Why not call it the LFE?
Ooh, that's a bit of a name.
I've got an idea.
Not make it at all.
Oh, okay.
Who's buying that?
That's what I want.
That's the point.
None of these really rich guys are buying.
What is it?
Is it just a concept that goes, hey, hey, look, we could do this.
We could do this.
We don't do that.
We don't find out.
We still might.
We still might do that.
Don't tempt us.
But I like the GRGT.
I think it's cool.
I do as well.
I think there's still the design is not completely sold on me.
It's got design has a demon.
It still has airs.
Yeah.
It still has airs of that like modern car.
You've done too much.
The other thing I was thinking about it that looks a little bit weird is I think because
of how long it's noses, the, what was it, it was going to be a two-kon reference or
what?
I was thinking of people.
Big noses.
The wheels are a little bit smaller than the arches.
Okay.
I think it could maybe go in and chop.
But actually, it's such is the beauty of Japanese cars and tuning.
We'll see something in about a week.
In a week.
Yeah.
The first one we'll be released and then 43 nanoseconds later, Japanese tunable will
have gone.
TXM's.
Well, also, how tunable would this engine be?
Yeah.
We'll be seeing 900 million horsepower GRGT.
And we could only hope from mines everywhere.
Yeah.
Ben, you've searched.
I've searched.
The LFA.
Now, it doesn't say whether yes or no, it's definitely going to be made.
But all of the wording and the language implies that it is a concept of a car that will
come out.
I have some, so the news is it is built on the exact same platform as the GRGT.
Okay.
But obviously, it's electric.
And basically, they're basically big enough.
That's going to be great.
But no one wants that.
So there's one for you.
Guys, apparently, they are, so to have been looking to release their first performance car
with a solid state battery, whatever that means, I've heard that for years.
I was going to say, yeah, I've heard the phrase solid state battery for, for, for years.
500 gigamissons.
Don't shake this car.
You'll corrupt it.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Alexa LFA hard disk.
Yeah.
It has to spin inside.
I don't know.
I've heard that for years.
I've never seen a car with it, but they're saying that maybe that's the car.
Well, it's speculation.
Whoa.
Anyway, that's what I'm saying is that, is that, what is the point here?
But also Toyota.
It hits up.
Why are you not simply not trying to ask about this GT?
You're making turbo noises.
We all drive.
Could pay making what?
I can fix that.
Where you got.
We can't afford it.
No.
We can always borrow it.
Just for a minute, just for a set like a day.
I think we'd like to.
I think we'd like to.
I'd love to.
I think we'd love to.
I think we'd give it a really nice.
If it makes it easier to give us the car, we'll give it an amazing review.
You're a bracket in the TDC.
And the box is what's being said.
The TDC has a price, and it's a car for a day.
Really?
Quite low.
Realistically, from their angle, not really that much of an outlay, just lending a car to us.
Exactly, that's why.
What have we got next?
Next up, we have some auction-related jQuery.
Yes.
There was an auction in Abu Dhabi, because she was where the final F1 race is.
Well, actually, which we may get to in a moment.
And the F1 race.
We'll be going there.
But yeah, we'll be going there.
Used to me.
730.
Amazing.
There were some quite big cars.
Not actually physically big cars, but some important cars going up for auction.
For numbers, who knows?
We don't know.
But there was a T50.
That's not the first.
Second.
Is it apparent the first publicly auction?
That's the first publicly auction.
I believe so.
It's a publicly listed.
But I thought there was one that went recently.
Yeah.
So it was about 5.4 million.
5.63 million dollars.
What is that like?
Four, four million pounds.
And that's with all the fees and bloody, bloody blood.
So, no, you know, I'm not saying it's not a lot of money.
But compared to what it's like an F1.
Yeah.
I find enough.
And F1 also went through.
Isn't that the same car we saw in Monterey?
It is indeed.
It's chassis 14.
An X-Brue 9 car.
That was yellow.
Then went to white.
Then got fitted.
The high down.
High downforce kit.
And the owner used that thing.
Drove it around all sorts.
Yeah.
And now, yeah, went up sale.
And the final numbers is actually 25 million dollars.
Yeah.
With all of the tax, what do you call it?
The fees for the auction house.
Included it.
It tipped over 25 mil.
Now, I know it's a lot.
Well, I was, I thought more might happen.
I did too.
But the road car chassis tend to be a little bit less than the GTRs
which tend to go privately for more.
Right.
So it's a public auction.
But it's very possible that the one that we saw in Monterey,
that's where we went.
Have we been there?
It could have gone for more because that's a sealed bid.
Yeah.
This was just a public kind of auction.
Yeah.
But whoever gets it, please use it.
There's two people meet each other.
How much?
How much?
How much do you pay?
25.
Oh.
Okay.
Nice bit of 50.
That's like half price.
Nice.
So yeah, cool.
Cool to see an F1 sale.
Hopefully it doesn't disappear.
Like the rest of them.
Well, not the rest of them.
There are lots of them being used.
Yeah.
But they are like for the most part.
Just sort of.
Hidden away in some.
I always think though.
Basement.
There are.
Yeah.
It was a hundred and whatever.
I think one of six is the total total number.
But that's including all the race cars.
Yeah.
Just the road cars.
You still see them out there?
Meanwhile like a zonda.
A zonda is.
Well, I also wrecked.
You know what I mean?
A zonda sold.
It's one of the zonda.
Tricolo, performante, nine thousand special editions.
Yeah.
Ten million dollars.
Tough.
Yeah.
If I'm Harry Metcalfe, I'm angry right now.
I know it's like a super special one, so maybe that's more valuable because it's probably
a one-off.
Yeah.
But still.
Yo.
Zonda is going the at the same way as like McLaren F1.
The crazy thing as well.
Is that any zonda you buy?
Same with McLaren F1.
You can just send back to the factory and have them redo it.
They can redo whatever you want.
If you want it back to C12S spec or you want it back to whatever, they can do that.
That's the coolest thing.
Those chassis never exist as what they are.
They just exist as a base.
It's quite cool.
There are MX-5s.
They're expensive MX-5s is what they are.
Zonda Rivera.
That's the one.
Zonda Rivera.
Which is actually a 2006 car.
It went for $10 million.
Yeah.
It's on a no-6 plate.
I'd put out like $1500 for two grand.
It's brand new.
Honestly, it's brand-spanking new.
There's a 2000.
He's never seen one so clearly.
But it is a 56 plates.
So another mill on that one, please.
What else did we have?
Some other ridiculous numbers.
An F40 sold for 3.8 mil.
A Laferari.
3.4 basically.
Last.

Mark II RS Concept Car and all the reserves were ridiculously cheap on these cars.
I think the Twingo's reserve was 3 to 4,000 euro, does like that's cool, just to have
it.
It's the works and stuff.
Everything went for lots of money, they really did.
So for instance, this Twingo, so there was a Mark II Cleo, sorry, Mark III Cleo, like what
you're looking at, 197, the Concept Car that they revealed to show that car off, the reserve
was 6,000 euros.
It sold for 20.
That auction house, the Twingo was reserved at 6, it sold for 16, but some of the other
ones went for real money.
Now, there was only a couple of actual road cars in there that you could buy and run,
which was a Cleo Williams.
The Cleo Williams had a really cool story, that was built at the factory and then used
by workers at the factory to run around and get parts, like it was their lunch car,
Cleo Williams.
Now, that estimate was 20,000 euro, it sold for 54.
That's not a nice noise for you all to hear, but that did shock me.
The Renault 5 Maxi Turbo was quite cool, a very cool wide body group B, I think it might
be group A, probably it was a prototype car that supposedly had some parts on it unique
in the world.
Estimate 80, I know, for 216,000, there was a couple of F1 cars or a few F1 cars in there
that they had the highest estimates, I think, some of them were quite big and large.
I'll have a look at some of those F1 cars, 480,000 euro, 313, 1.2 million, what do you do
with that?
They, if you're very rich, they leave it for it.
Some of these one cars, people do use, they leave anything, you've been the F1 or the
concepts.
No, I mean like a Formula One car.
I've Formula One car, there are people who use them, there's a lot of rich people that
they will own it, but they don't necessarily drive it, they might have it driven by someone
that.
Good amount.
You buy, that's hard.
That's pretty good.
Perhaps Carcook.
I didn't want to go and say it, but that is odd.
Yeah.
But you're getting it done by a professional.
But he was a professional.
Why would you do that?
You thought, it's not a nice way to think about it.
This really not.
Don't like whether it's a good way.
Basically giving it back to someone who you used to, you know, have a go on, like
back in the 70s, and you said, I've now bought it at an insurance company.
I've got it.
Would you like to have another guy?
But wait, but why?
Because you were great back in the day.
You was unbeatable with this thing.
You won championships in this thing.
Like no one else.
No one else did it better.
Why would I give it a go?
But what is the point?
I'm not worthy.
Why would you drop that much money on something?
I don't know.
Use it yourself.
Well, because they're very difficult to drive, or maybe you're very rich and very old
and very frail.
Because also when you have that sort of money, it's, it's, it's not about the money.
Yeah.
It's about being able to say there's my, exactly, there's my car.
It's winning races.
Yeah.
That's the one I own.
Yeah.
That's what I care about.
Like a lot of these people will be, people who grew up, something funny, just, the, the,
the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, it's, it's
rough.
There's my car getting driven.
These are going to be exceptionally rich.
You can buy and store this sort of stuff, but someone who grew up watching F1, so let's
say it's a, a driver they like, and now they can buy that car and watch it be driven.
And some of them will drive it.
Some of them might drive it.
They might have a go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There are plenty of F1 cars out there that are still being maintained.
They know they can't, they know they can't perform, but they'll give it a go.
They might give it one go and go, look, this is far too much for me.
Someone else better carry on from here.
Go have a crack.
All right.
Let's move on.
But yeah, that Renault, the Renault Concepts, I'm sad there was also a Laguna BTCC car that
did go.
Well, not as much money.
It would have.
It would have.
So here's, here's what I was going to say.
There is a McGahn Mach 3, the, the touring, it basically the car from blur, I think, I think
it was in blur.
Mad wide body G3 car.
Which I think the theory should have had a V6, but that one didn't.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This car had a reserve of five to eight thousand euro.
It sold 42 thousand euros, which is, which is rough, which is a car you can't actually
use.
And as well.
They said on the thing that the body panels were, it's a Moquette.
Yeah.
So it's not, it's not a race car.
The panels aren't carbon fiber, they're most likely fiberglass or something like that.
That's what I was a potato.
A Moquette?
Or croquet.
That's the one.
Film what?
Take it.
Take it.
And then there was also a just a wide body kit for your car.
Yeah.
That was a thousand euros of, but lots of the information on it, I'm sure if you've got
in contact with them, you might get more info, but lots of it was like, damn.
Yeah.
It just says car.
Yeah.
One of them again was like, we think it's got a normal McGahn 250 engine in it.
What do you mean we think?
It also kind of, okay, if it was a collector who bought it, 50 years ago and has died, you're
Renault.
You made it.
You built it.
You have it.
So someone just needs to go out to it, open the bonnet and go, that's what it was.
There it is.
One of my favorite deals was there was a Mark II clear, pre-face lift though, a pre-face
one.
Is what we call six by six.
Yeah.
So a Clio that's had another two wheels out of the arena, it's got a pickup truck.
That had a three to six thousand euros of, it's called for 20.
What are you doing with that?
Who's it?
Who was it they're going?
No, 18.
No, I'll go to 19.
I need that.
I need Renault buying them back.
It was all, you cannot let them go.
It is a, we cannot.
It is a bit sad though when they start getting rid of the clutch, because it's been
specially did it a few years ago and that was really sad, that was not nice because you
can't get those back.
No, they're gone.
Like Renault, no point, no point, they're going to go, well, but we'll put a buyback
cloth in.
Kevin, have we got that Renault sports rider?
No, he sold that.
Oh, how much do you want from that?
I'll tell you back.
I want that.
That's going to go into collection, they're never going to get that back.
So that feels, I don't know, I mean, they better put that on as good use.
They won't.
They're at the top.
New Clio RS.
Here's a new Clio.
It's electric.
Our cars are ugly.
Oh well.
L.
French gold meeting minutes.
L.
Yeah.
In the Southern exhaustion, they sold it, they confused me for a while because they sold
a 2026 Formula One car.
So you were trying to, well, you didn't explain it to me to say the podcast.
What do you mean?
It baffled me because I thought, am I in the wrong year?
What's happened here?
So obviously everyone, the most recent Formula One race, Landon RS1, in a McLaren in 2025
car, I guess you would call that.
So I thought, do they go back a year, do they go 40 year?
What's going on?
It's like Americans where they go.
I got a new 28 Mustang.
Yeah.
It's just come out in the last year, man.
Model year F1 car.
But they are basically, they have sold a car that is not yet built.
Okay.
So they're basically saying this could be a well-champion car.
Okay.
It could be amazing.
It feels like an L waiting to happen.
It also feels like an MLM, a multi-year one's called a Pyramid scheme, where it's like,
no, no, no.
You give me the money for the car and then we'll build it.
But if we crash it, oops, that's what, so it will, but it will be a functioning F1
car.
It's not like a display car.
It will have the engine in and everything.
But you'll get it in 2028.
Okay.
Which, which I don't, I still don't understand because that's a year after the season
but even finish.
You don't have almost two years basically.
You know when people order Porsche's and they get updates, it's like, he's your car going
through the factory line.
It's they do that after race weekend.
He's your car qualifying first.
He's your car upside down on fire.
Sorry.
But they're selling it as like, this could be a championship winning car.
This could be this.
This could be that.
And then you can pick whether it's Norris' or Pastry's car.
This is McLaren.
How do they even, they might not even be there.
How do we know this?
Like they contracted.
But how do you know?
Did they say what team?
This is McLaren.
McLaren.
You just said, okay.
Oh.
You didn't say a team.
You just said it was an F1 car.
Oh, fair.
McLaren.
It's a McLaren.
Okay.
It's a Ferrari.
No.
The thing is right.
McLaren.
Very good currently, as we've seen.
Well, that's, I mean, that is the.
But regulation changes, big regulation changes, they could be quite bad.
No one knows.
That's so much regulation changes.
They might be next year.
They could be by the bottom of the league.
Only three wheels next year, mate.
They're starting to have a wheel, but they're a lot smaller.
Do you know when we see an F1 car in person, it's always like.
Do they get it smaller?
They get a lot, quite a lot smaller.
Maybe.
But I quite like that.
And then now 50-50 electric.
And when we walked around McLaren, the older F1 cars that were smaller
were much more visually pleasing than these.
The new ones are.
You.
The new Toyota GR.
They're longer than like a long wheelbase rendering.
Yeah, crazy.
People are massive.
I mean, mathematically not that much smaller, but they are.
I believe that they will.
There's like renders of them next to each other.
It does look a lot smaller.
Okay.
When you saw them at McLaren and actually lined up.
It is.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Bigger and bigger.
But someone has paid 11.5 million dollars for this.
Now, I don't know how much an F1 car is worth.
Well, 20 million.
When we walked around McLaren, he said that the cost of one of these cars is at least 20 million.
Okay.
So.
But that's got a great deal.
Because I guess the problem is, is that you couldn't actually buy that.
Only McLaren.
Yeah.
But, yeah.
But I guess if you bought that and that turns out to be, I know, they're going win every race.
And it's World Champion car again.
That's probably a bargain.
We'll do that.
So what they're doing is they're buying approved preo and used.
Yeah.
You're saying, look, I don't need you.
I don't want to take all the boxes.
Just as long as there's some service history, i.e.
But winning the title six.
You know what it is though?
It's like saying, I can't go buy a new Mercedes A class.
But you can't have two years.
It's going to have a lot of mileage on it.
Someone else.
Yeah.
You're paying full price for it as if it was new.
You're letting someone else do it again.
It's kind of crazy.
We're going right back to it.
Yeah.
Now, I'm going to pay you for.
Ooh, let's start.
Let's start.
But basically, so they're not going to get it.
They've bought it now.
They're paid for it.
Maybe they've put it on finance.
They'll have no idea.
And they won't get it until 2028.
2028.
But McLaren have said, we will give you a 2025 car once the season's done as like a lease,
but it'll be at the spray car.
Sorry.
Not like a lease.
I'm assuming they won't pay for this.
This one's just like a daily to get you back and forth until you car.
It's a car.
It's a car.
We can give you a 2025 car.
You can just have that.
Like as a display thing.
But to keep.
No, no.
Like once you get your car, you can get it.
But it is a courtesy.
It's a courtesy car.
That you can't drive.
Okay.
So that's what we're going to ask you.
You can't drive that one.
That's right.
I'm aware of that.
That was someone correct me.
It might be a display car.
But why would I want that?
Because you're rich.
But if I...
No, but I don't have...
In this case, correct.
But in this case, right.
You've got...
Okay.
I've got an F1 car coming in.
Couple years time.
All right, man.
And it's going to run.
It's going to drive.
I can't drive it, obviously.
But I can drive it if I want to.
But then they go, we'll have this liability.
It's just a big...
No, but it's something to show off.
You can stick in your penthouse mansion or in your...
Because it's beyond supercars and whatever else.
The thing is...
No one else can have that.
The people with this level of money to spend...
Was it 11 mil?
11.5.
They're not thinking like we are.
They're not going...
Do you need to get a daily, though?
They're going...
They're going...
They're going...
That'd be funny.
Or that would be...
That would be cool to show off.
Do I put it...
I put it in my bedroom.
Okay.
But you'd make it out of bed.
In this car...
It's not actually F1 car.
You're slotting yourself in.
In the F1 position.
Yeah.
So your knees are off above there.
And you're just...
I'd be great.
I'd shoot honks.
Or I'd just like...
If I was that rich, I'd leave it places.
But my mate would come home into like his small one bedroom flat.
And he'd be in there.
And he'd laugh.
I'd say...
Disassembled.
I'm a clarinet of rear-several living there.
You put...
You have one car in my living room again.
Oh, and he can't get like...
There was kitchen because there's F1 car in the way.
Why not turn it to a Sib?
That would be cool.
For audio listeners, Ben looked...
Gleeful.
That would be sick.
It's expensive.
Yeah.
Quite expensive.
But you didn't care, you're rich.
No, no, that would be...
Oh.
It's a little bit of...
Now, tilty tilty.
You see a cooler.
A toilet.
No, that, quite like.
You got strappy and everything.
Yeah.
You get to see molded to you.
You have to do a race start.
So you're holding the wheel and you let go...
No.
I'm going to make it to the board.
No, he's at the start.
No, I'm out of it.
It's a flash on the paddle.
That's okay.
I would have one car.
I would have one car.
But only if I could do it.
I don't see the point you'd just play one.
No, you have to have one.
Do you reckon you could...
You'd be able to...
Oh, yeah.
I reckon I'll feel like a lap.
Okay, hang on one second.
And when do you think you'd be able to drive one?
No, I don't think I'd be able to even William.
No, I'm not saying I think I'll be able to do it straight away.

A bold cranberry and winter spiced flavor fusion.
Sprite winter spiced cranberry is a refreshing way
to shake things up this sipping season.
And only for a limited time.
Sprite, obey your thirst.

Did you never watch that talk episode?
Where's TV though?
How do you know that?
You might have nailed that.
I think I'm going to ask a little bit for you.
I don't think you could try one.
I'm going to tell you a little bit more.
Come on.
This video's got to be like 15-minute sections.
That was a lap record, Richard.
Turn it down.
You've got to be very fit to drive it.
Who do you think was the thing?
Well, look at what you're looking at.
I'd...
I think my first issue would be getting in it.
Yeah.
Do you think I'll be fit?
And next issue would be getting out of it,
because they'd say,
what...
Are you doing in there?
You bought the car in the snow.
No, still.
Still would be like, yeah.
But you still need, you need like,
normally you need a team.
You can't just buy an F1 car and just visit down
to the track on trailer.
We'll do it.
You're going to be good.
What's oil temp?
I have no idea.
How do we start this?
I've got no idea, because I...
Oh, let me google it.
I'm trying to critique.
How to start 2026 from the long car.
Chris Fix here.
Here we go.
Chris Fix will have video of this.
But you believe you could drive it?
Look.
I was pretty quick in the sim.
Don't take them in.
True.
Tell me honestly,
do you think you could drive it?
Or how long it takes you to drive it?
What do you mean,
do I think I could?
Like, can you explain that?
Do you think you could drive it?
What do you mean,
10 meters round the lap record?
A couple of laps.
A couple of laps.
They've told you how to operate it,
but nothing more than that.
And you have to go for it.
You've got to go for it.
What was that?
Why's the terms of conditions being added?
Sorry.
You've got to make a lap record.
You have to be minimum of 100% throttle.
You have to try and go quickly.
I've got to be 100% throttle,
like, once on a straight or something.
No, you just have to drive the car on the track.
But that's different to what you just say.
Okay.
But if I get out of the car back now in your car
and drive it down the road,
two miles an hour,
that's not driving it.
You know what I mean?
I mean, I would kind of...
It's not being said.
If you said, you're on track.
I'm in a court of law.
Yeah, I would say the police,
if they pulled you over, go...
You were driving that car.
What I mean is that you have to...
I was on the two miles an hour.
Like, that doesn't count.
Look, there's a common knowledge
that I think I'm the two.
If I could walk faster, it's not driving.
You are on track.
Therefore, you have to try and go for it quickly.
Okay.
Yeah, obviously.
I'm going to form in the one car.
Well, I think it was struggling.
Tell us.
The hot hatches.
Now, I think you couldn't do it.
But what would you mean couldn't?
I don't think you have the ability to do it.
What do you mean?
Because I'm in the top of the episode.
The biggest thing he said was that he can't go quick enough
to make it actually perform properly
because he's too scared.
Because to go for it.
To make it, everyone can't actually grip properly.
You have to be going at such a fast speed.
But Will has no wife or children
or anything to live for.
So, why would he not go for it?
You've got a Lamborghini to live for.
Well, I've got to pay for it.
And if I put that in a wall,
I haven't got to pay for it anymore.
What I'm saying is I don't think I do it hard enough.
I don't think.
I just don't think you could.
But what do you think you're going to do?
What this sounds like is a future TDC episode
where we're at 20 mil subscribers.
You can get like a double XL form in one car.
I've seen it done.
Okay.
What driven?
I've seen it apart.
No, no, no.
I've seen videos of people who drive F1 cars.
Okay.
Normies.
Okay.
Regular folk.
Unlike me.
That's what I was waiting for.
Yeah.
And like a god of notice.
And obviously it's difficult.
But they don't just start.
I mean, it's not like you on the sim, basically.
No invalidated lap.
Invalidated lap.
Completely fair.
But before that, I said wall.
Edge.
But did I, did I?
I didn't.
I never did a will channel and went,
Yeah, I do that.
Easy mate.
Yeah.
Perhaps that's why you're approaching it
from how you felt towards it.
Whereas we'll could drive it on the ship.
I, you have to believe.
But you know, you haven't got to put like
a hundred kilograms of down of pressure
onto the brake pedal to actually make a stop on a sim.
What's going on?
It's like doing a leg press.
No, no, no, stop the thing.
I'm saying you're your emotional attempt,
not attempt approach to it.
Was that you came into it going,
I can't do this.
I know I can't do it.
There you go.
Whereas because Will's like alder.
Unrealistic.
There you go.
I'm realistic.
You have to believe.
But I think to a degree that will help you in that case.
If you're not just tall like that,
if he is mad or not,
I think I'd be quite worried.
If Lano Norris,
if I've hired this mad race,
he gets her a car and goes,
I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't know what I'm doing here.
How do I work this?
I can't drive this.
Can I point out a very key difference here?
You're using the comparison of Lano Norris.
But he is an F1 driver.
You are not an F1 driver.
But he wasn't always.
He was once a boy.
He was once a boy with a dream.
But he worked his way up.
You're just a man.
He drove him eight years old.
Well, I can't drive one now.
So it was a point.
That's illegal.
I can't drive one.
No, but this is the same thing as him at eight years old.
I'm going to get in the car and just drive the F1 car.
He wouldn't say that.
He worked my way up.
Now, someone would have gone,
Gordon, in my son.
You would not go to drive it.
I believe that.
Hey, this sounds like a video.
Someone, like everyone seems hit us up.
I'm willing to do the challenge.
If you could get like a really big seat wide.
If you could get with an arm rest as well.
Out of round wheel.
What if they said to you,
you have to pass certain physical fitness things
to drive an F1 car.
Let's go.
Would you do them all?
Yeah, I just starve myself until I was dead.
You've got to get ripped.
Drive it.
Well, I've got to be ripped.
He doesn't need to.
No, no, no.
I could be like, wait.
They just tell you you've got to get ripped to drive it.
Then some weird judges there.
And I want to see topless as well.
How?
Yeah, yeah.
You drive the F1 car really well.
That's it.
What was that?
I'll let you drive the F1 car.
I'll just let me see.
Nice.
Well, it's the seat fitting.
Just take trousers off.
We've just got to get them sat right in the middle of that.
What I'm saying is that you've got to get a really good shape.
Your terms of conditions are so bizarre.
I'm saying you've got to get a really good shape.
Would you do it?
Would you put the commitment into getting a really good shape?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
That's just like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
that I'm willing to take.
Any F1 team that I'll sit.
Hey, run it.
All of the creamers at the MTC right now are going.
Boss.
Boss is a big fat man.
I was driving a car.
Right?
Okay.
But he's probably not pleased.
He's probably just not to be fat.
But I tell you, get a try.
It's going to be naked or something.
All right, cool.
That's a Formula One of the Week.
It shows how much we know.
Yeah, also like two weeks late after congratulations,
Landon Morris.
He's not listening.
He is listening.
One day we're going to be able to podcast.
Because F1 drivers, for the most part, we don't.
We don't care.
Well, I don't know anything.
Do you know any of them?
I know.
There's a guy called Landon Morris.
I've heard a lot about him this week.
Yeah.
This last week.
I know five current ones.
Lewis Hamilton.
He is current just about.
So.
Kimi Reikinen.
No.
What?
Landon Alonso?
He is actually.
He's like old.
But yeah, just about.
No, I was about to say Jensen Buffin.
But I've seen him talking on the TV.
I know you got the chance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You've got all the cards.
So it's a nice shirt.
Jensen, mate.
You're supposed to be out on track.
Oh, shit.
Hold on.
Hold on.
That's three.
That's three.
Is it three?
That's three.
Alonso Hamilton.
Nice.
Yes.
Two more.
I'm sure I can.
I'm sure I can.
Correct.
That's why we're here.
I'm a clarinetist.
I'm a clarinetist.
I'm a clarinetist.
Oh, he's an Oscar.
He's an Oscar.
One more.
And he...
Oh, that's just happened.
I know that guy.
Yeah.
That's easy, man.
That's fine.
I got out of that.
That's got three.
There you go.
Big F1 podcast has started.
I mean, some of you might like it, everyone.
Can you name five different ones?
Antonelli is one I've seen recently.
Sure.
I've never met that one.
I think Holkkenberg is in there now.
Right?
I think he's back.
I think so.
Yeah.
We'll say it.
We'll say it.
And who's another one?
We don't know that.
That's the point of it.
Oh, no.
That's not fun game, is it?
Now...
One last one?
No, it's the one other one.
I haven't got it.
Now, Zach Brown.
I've been...
I would like you to name five people who are not related to Formula One at all.
Five people.
Yeah.
Okay.
David Attenborough.
Yeah.
Right.
And then obviously Will Smith.
Yeah.
Actually going from there.
Well, they're mates.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's not a real person.
But that's not a person.
You've been accounts.
No.
Okay.
Fine.
Alex Kirsten.
All right.
He's not real.
He's a fictional human being.
Again, mate of Dumbledore.
Roy McKay.
Okay.
No, that's not a person.
Yeah, fine.
You can't just pick random people off the street.
The last one.
You've got to come on.
I need two more.
One more thing is that.
One more person.
You could just say a fake name.
We would never know.
See, there's so many people around here.
He's a fictional human being.
Again, mate of Dumbledore.
Roy McKay.
Okay.
See, there's so many people in F1 that it's hard to find out one that isn't.
And how do you know they're not enough on any of those people?
Ben.
This is a podcast.
You've got to speak.
It's a really.
Total wolf.
No, that guy's in F1.
Yeah, he is like quite deep in F1 actually.
Oh, it was not an F1.
I've got a panic.
I think again, one first.
One was in F1.
Literally anyone.
One person.
I went to BP early and there's a lady that served me.
I don't think she's in it.
So that's all good.
What exactly?
I haven't actually proved she isn't.
BP could be a part time job.
Yeah.
That's five people.
Cool.
But anyway, if Landon Irish is listening, we'd like you on the podcast.
We've probably ruined it.
One of the sum.
One of the sum.
He's one of the people.
He's one of the people of all time who actually has cool cars.
He's one of the five people that is in F1.
So we should get him on.
Did you see there was a rumor?
Okay.
This is a rumor I'm going to talk about.
It could be one of those Chinese news sites making this up.
No idea about Hamilton wanted to make a.
He's now Ferrari and he did that very cool photo in front of the F14.
Yeah, you wanted to make an F44, which is basically a modern day F40 with a manual gearbox.
Yeah.
But modern day things.
Retro styling still that apparently Ferrari said, uh-uh, not on my watch.
Yeah.
Because we got more dross to get out more stressing issues.
And probably not very happy about it.
I don't know how real this is.
Again, this could be news.com some random site at the bottom of the website.
I'm trusting news.
I'm trusting news.com.
In name alone, it's quite trustless news.
Like news.
Like LT check news.com.
It goes to CNET.
So that's fine.
I believe that.
Okay.
I believe it.
But that would have been cool.
So Ferrari, get your thumb out of your bum.
Okay.
Let's make the car.
Apparently you sold low cars, Hamilton.
But again, this could be to make.
I feel like Ben at this stage.
I've just seen a title in news stories.
That's gospel.
And I've gone.
That's news.
Let's get that story used to me.
That's news.com.
Well, what else we got?
We don't actually have too much left.
But we do have an important update.
All right.
Ben, you've put in here.
Mr. Bagger.
Mr. Bagger.
I must get my phone.
It's on charge.
He's always going for their phone.
Right.
I message Mr. Bagger.
Mr. Bagger.
I have not received a response.
I'm just checking now.
Send it on Friday.
You're in his requests.
I am.
He's actually got a good amount of followers.
But he's a private account.
So I had to request a message.
You can't follow up now.
No, you've got more message.
Invitations sent.
You can send more messages after your invitation.
You can use your message.
Again, please no one go on message.
Don't message him.
Leave it.
If you know him like personally,
you should just give him a nudge.
Yeah.
Don't message him.
Please.
This is just this is pretty for research first.
Of course.
Now, Ben, what did you say?
I said, hi, mate.
Got a slightly weird one.
When I met with American.
Interesting.
What's wrong with that?
They didn't say that.
You palm.
What would I say instead?
Oh, I'm always saying.
Hi, Mr. Bogger.
Well, that sounds impressive.
Address it by his form.
Exactly.
Please.
Go on, slightly weird one here for you.
I actually said I produced for the podcast.
I don't.
But I thought it would be.
Sorry.
I sounded more.
I produced for the podcast.
It sounds a little bit easier from what I've produced.
Oh, he's for the podcast.
That's like a part of the culture.
Well, I didn't want it to be like, I'm a random man
that wants information about you.
I wanted to give a bit of context.
So I produced for,
an authorised podcast called Cream,
brackets cast,
or everything around me.
We went in the US for Monterey car week.
Can we mention that?
What?
No, never.
This year and came across your car with the plate, Mr. Bogger.
Did we?
I don't remember.
I think we just drove faster.
I said, good context for him.
Being English, the phrase,
bugger is used fairly regularly.
Oh, man.
With a web of conditioning.
We should be defined as bugger.
We should create a quiet, quite a cobbled intro between us.
I said, after mentioning it recently on our podcast,
one of our viewers sent us a photo of your car.
I believe from Reddit, leading us directly to you.
We'd love to hear more about the story of the car,
the mods, and most importantly,
how the plate Mr. Bogger came about.
Let me know more.
Let me know if you'd be happy to tell us more.
Thanks Ben.
Very, very, very, with an inspirational,
we want to hear more about the origin story,
about the modifications about how it came to be.
That's what we want.
I heard.
I know.
What's going on with that?
I've done a brief bit of research on Bogger.
Okay.
I've looked.
Yeah, there is none.
Bogger means.
There is an answer.
Bogger means.
No, but not our bugger.
A different bugger.
I just typed in.
Bogger.
USA slang.
I don't know.
Okay.
It could be dog shit.
Could be.
Yeah.
It could be.
I don't know.
It says the turn bugger.
That's BUGGA.
Is used in Hawaiian pigeon.
Oh, okay, okay.
Interesting.
As a casual term for a person.
No, no.
Don't really email.
Different pigeon.
The term is much more common as a mild profanity
or exclamation of annoyance in the UK,
Australia and New Zealand.
In Hawaiian pigeon, an example of it would be.
Debugger is always late.
Now, it's quite similar.
Okay.
So it's quite similar.
But what that would still imply is,
it's not like it's.
It might be his name.
I think.
You think his name's bugger.
I think that possibly.
From the context I have,
I think that might just be his name.
So the tale of Mr. Bugger continues.
It is.
And do you know what?
It's going to have to happen.
Is we're going to have to track down one with it?
We'll have to find it.
It's a recognizable car.
We'll be going back.
