Features we want to have, and not have in our cars

This is professional radio. Has front wheel drive.

Have you got anyone you want to think?

Just myself. And now we'll do the after

hours. General, what would you go for?

Thanks you send there. Yeah.

OK. And because there's not a

supercar, there is. It's not ordinary.

Perfection comes in the form of two letters A&U.

Long live my Ltd. Welcome to Car Talk Gets chosen

out here in 99 NW FM. It's me, Mary J Online with Mr.

David Prince, Mr Edward Bunting and Mr Scudo Johnson.

How are you fellas? Good evening, Matthew.

Very well. Thank you.

Good evening all. Good evening, doing quite well.

Thank you. Very good.

Good to see all your lovely faces.

It's a smaller group tonight, but that's fine.

Well, I don't mind when it's a smaller group.

It's it's, it's cosy. It's nice Edwards, all nice and

cosy with his with his blankie. On it's Camino gold.

It's a British Leyland colour. It's a British Leyland colour.

It's a you, you're a, you're a what?

What I come on, you're a, you're a land crab.

Yeah, I lost an 1800. Very, very good, very good, very

good. Good to see you, all your faces.

Well, crack on with some card. That's first and foremost.

Let's get started. Scotty Dark, that's with you

man. I guess my only update is I

finally got that programme to actually work on the blade.

Good. It took a bit, but I got there

in the end and the amount of data on that that you can actually get was actually pretty cool.

So if you into that kind of stuff, you know, it's fun to have a look and see what I could change and do and you know, certain lights that I can change and have off or on and manipulate and manipulate chair, the seat and well, eco light that's on there, I can remove that.

So that never comes up on the dash.

And yeah, there's there's quite a lot that you can do and mess around with. You can get read the data on

fuel efficiency and I still haven't really dived deeper enough into it. So there's still plenty of other

bits and pieces you can check out, but how many of you haven't any issues? You can easily pull up that data

and have a look. Even goes through where you can

do full check of all their computer systems that the car has and I'll do a full check checking all the connections, making sure everything's working fine.

You can even even do a compression test on the engine that's. Obviously.

Gotta remove the fuel and everything, but once you've done that, tells you step by step and we'll check the cylinders for you. So yeah, whole bunch of stuff.

People, the screenshot you sent through was an actual in English too, which was even better. Yeah, you can change all the

language, like you could change it to MPH or PSI, however you wanna change it. So I think Japan reads it in

like MHG or whatever that one is, we read it in PSI.

So I was able to go through and do all that first and change it over. So I was able to understand it

better but. Yeah, I might have.

Tonnes and tonnes of data, so it's pretty fun.

I like that kind of stuff. Yeah, that's awesome.

And I watched it and that is it. I guess the next the next plan

is coming on holidays to see if people are maybe free to help with the skyline at some point. What do we need to do?

Skyline, Scotty. Get that manual gearbox in.

Ohhh yeah. So maybe have a day at some

point and. Have a sausage sizzle.

Bit yeah, either that or just got a whole bunch of pizzas and drinks and things like that and make a day.

Of it you have a cold time of the year though.

Scotty, you don't know. Yeah, that kind of ruins it.

You have a heated garage. No, but I can borrow heater and

throw it in there. Yep.

But if you don't let the weather bother you, you've just got to get you just get out and. Do it.

Oh, that's true, David. I do like saying that to you.

Yes. Yeah, flying on cold concrete.

There are lines to be drawn. I've got some creepers and I've

got some big boxes of cardboard. So you won't, you won't hurt

you. You won't be cold.

Edwards. Yeah.

If I'm not cold, I'm not be alright, Yeah.

You just don't know. You can bring your blank here as

well and you'll be fine. I don't know how long it will

take to do it and I'm not sure if we get done in a day.

Quite a while. One day optimistic, I think.

You got, you got like a tutorial is a tutorial of how it's been done because it's not super hard from what I've seen, but it's there should be like surely there would have been tutorials before. Yeah, I've got, I've got one of

just all the parts that you need.

Yeah, there's laid out and he pretty much says all the information talks about the clutch plate, the pedal removal of the auto gearbox, installation of the new gearbox, brake pedal, interchangeable parts.

So he talks bits and pieces about their issues you might come across. Hmm.

He says expect to spend two to three days, but I think both sounds of he did it by himself so.

Yeah. That would kind of make sense.

It would take you a long time. Are there is there like a kit

you need like a modification kit or something?

No, I got, I got everything. I just gotta buy some new bolts,

that's all. OK.

I got the crossmember and everything.

Is it not a job that would be like 10,000% easier with a hoist? Probably would.

Be everything's 10,000 times easier with always.

But washing the roofs and on. Nice, that's a good point.

Your person saying that? Good point.

We'll have to have to bug someone with a hoist possibly and say, hey, can we borrow your hoist for a day or so?

Please watch this space with all the way it is.

I mean I know the autos and I had not happy but.

It's not really drivable, is it? It sort of.

Was not so much. OK.

I wouldn't really be able to get to any kind of good speed because it seems to just stick and stay in the lower gears like first and 2nd. OK, Yeah.

Yeah. Peak hour on a Friday?

That might be perfect. Yeah, true.

Not gonna get any faster than that.

Across Melbourne on that, yeah. Like there's been an accident on

the freeway and I'd be like, that's my time to get out there.

Yeah, well, it absolutely love it.

On the way to work today actually saw us behind a a fairly new Ford Focus and I noticed something really, really unusual. I'm not sure if you've seen seen

it happen before. I'm not sure what suspension

part would do this and ruin it, but the car is driving in a straight line but it was kind of crab walking so the actual body of the car was on an angle but it was going straight.

That's called like a big. Smash.

Yeah, I was looking at it was like 4 Man, that looks so wrong.

It was like it was tripping me out.

Yeah, watching this thing driving down the road, driving straight in the lane, fine, but it was the body of the just on this weird angle and it was just so weird.

I'm not aware of a suspension part failure that would do that.

Yeah, it was strange. I'm not sure.

Other than a car being in an accident, being very badly repaired, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I'm not too sure I was going to say like that.

That's for the whole car to shimmy in the wrong direction like that. That that's yeah, that that

sounds like the the whole chassis out of alignment.

Like that's, that's a real, it's been, it's been a big shunt.

But really threw me off. I'll I'll stop taking it.

I'm just sticking behind it for for a while.

Like wasn't doing the speed limit, but I'll just stick them behind it because I was just so amused by it.

I was like and I thought I had enough and just let me know.

Yeah. Yeah, it was so weird.

Yeah, I would love to know how some cars get back on the road.

But anyway, moving on. Edward Bunting updates.

With you, Well, I've got a few tales to tell.

We're strapped in certain. Of all Honda Accord, euro sold,

Good car, nice people, take your hand, off you go.

Awesome, off to a good home. Off to a good home.

Exactly right. It was funny though, because the

buyer said she said I said, oh, what what did you have before?

And she said I sold my previous car was a Yaris and like, Oh yeah, cool going Yaris to Accord Euro yeah, nice upgrade.

And and I said, oh, how come you sold the garage?

Because they're they're pretty reliable, you know, they're a good car. And she said, oh, you know,

yeah, I just want to put the money towards a, you know, buying a house. And I'm thinking, so he's solely

Yaris to buy a house near buying a Accord Euro.

It sort of doesn't. Aren't they about the same

value? You know, like and she goes

well, but was it yeah, SGR Now I I understand how there's some money here coming in from that. So then I was a little bit like

without a car. So well, not without a car, but

just without a sort of stock car.

So I drove around in the little Mercedes 190 diesel for about a week and 1/2 that was good. It's it does need a battery and

I still haven't bought one Maddie price one for me and they're a bit megabucks. So I'm trying to find a tight

ass head option for for a good battery.

I might be able to get online somewhere.

So I'm just sort of just sort of sniffing around for that because it didn't start one day. I'd left it for three days and I

was sick last week 3 days off work.

So the car sat for a few days. And of course when I went to go

somewhere it was it was, it was almost starting but not quite.

So I had to put on the charger anyway.

Then I was a bit sick with a fever and what have you.

And what do you do when your sick?

You sort of get online and I had a little sniff around.

Check with Freddie for battery. OK, I'll do that David, thank

you. I had a little sniff around, you

know, some of the sites I frequent to, to buy cars.

And there was one particular car that caught my eye and I thought, oh, I'll have a crack at that.

So I put in an offer and then I won that car and it's my first one, I'm proud to say. Happy hour at the time.

What's that? I had a fever.

Fever. Quite a bad fever.

I bought a Jeep. That is a very bad fever.

You must have been extremely sick.

Uh, yeah, That's what the guys at work said.

You know, I said. I said I bought a Jeep.

They're like oh you were sick, Head Ohgi was sick.

Anyway this is a O 4 Cherokee Renegade 3.7 V6 petrol

automatic, 1 owner, 2 keys, books, factory mats, 135 K's on it, which is pretty good case for an 04.

So I went down to how I sort of agreed to buy this in principle and went down to pick it up and had a drive and look around and went it's a pretty tidy old thing, you know, for a black car. The paint is amazingly good.

I was really surprised cause normally blacks covered in swirl Marks and this is not metallic black.

This is solid gloss black. So I was really surprised that

the condition of the paint and the plastics around the arches and things really good. So I was pleasantly kind of

like, OK, this is maybe not such a bad thing.

I was going to send it to the auctions and try and make a little smidge on it, you know, But the more I looked at it and I thought, I think this is maybe a, a, a retainable car.

You know some young people plater who doesn't want to Corolla for their, you know, 6 1/2 odd grand might wanna a really tidy Jeep. Do you say a Cherokee?

Renderosity Renegade is the grade, but yeah, it's a Cherokee. Not a Grand Cherokee, just a

Cherokee. O.

Four round headlight shape. Yeah.

So I bought that. Time will tell if that was a

silly decision or a very solid investment decision.

Alongside that, I also bought a second car that week, which was a Honda Jazz 2015 BTIS in white. That is a much safer choice,

slightly more expensive choice, but a much safer choice.

So, so we'll have a Jeep for sale soonish when I when I get a couple of little things done to it and we'll have a Jazz for sale soonish. So see what the jazz when you're

recovered because. Obviously, I was sort of the

fever had died down by then by the time I bought the Jazz.

So Jeep was during the heightened fever and then Jazz was sort of at the tail. Yeah.

Yep. Correct sense.

Makes sense? You probably know a correct me

if I'm wrong. We're all the Aussie jeeps built

in Austria in the Grasby. I think so.

Yeah, OK. So the earlier ones weren't.

The early ones were American. Yeah.

But like the XJ and all that were from the States, but the later ones I believe were yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that sounds right. Anyway, it's got a tow bar like

not even used. The brand new tongue is in the

boot like he's never put it in. It's got the top the top bars

fitted, but he's obviously literally never the balls, not even it's still in the plastic. You know, he's never never tried

anything that and actually he said his dad bought it for him when he finished uni. You know, that was his sort of

congratulations finished uni car and he's just kept it for 20 years. So remarkable.

Most people wouldn't keep a car that long anyways.

That's Jeep. On Sunday I went to a mini Moke

car club service day. So I dragged the Moke out and it

was very fresh. Sunday morning, I think we drove

through a couple of clouds. There was like 1 1/2° or two

degrees, and that's always fun when you're rugged up in the markets. I really like driving it in the

coal went out there and those guys are great.

They tinkered around. I had a couple of things I

wanted them to look at. One was the right hand side

indicators weren't working, so I was sticking my arm out the side to turn. That was a broken wire at the

back. So they resold it a new wire for

me. So that fixed that.

And the exhaust was banging. You know, it had sideways

movement going dunk, dunk, dunk when you go in corners on them.

So that was a a bolted come loose, causing it to have too much movement to to hit an exhaust flange thing.

So new bolt inserted and hey presto, that problem solved.

Driving home was a whole lot nicer.

I could turn right and it wasn't going blank, blank tick, tick.

Still some things I wanna do to it, but it was yeah, it's was running really well and it starts easily and I was I was enjoying Moke life and that I think is's car updates.

Maybe Prince? One out one in this week, which

is good good because otherwise you just get in end up in a big real mess because you've got cars everywhere.

So the Red and One Might 2013 which was the first one in the country is sold as of today and. Congrats.

Nice. Yeah.

So just in time, because on Friday, the joint venture or something docs in Robin and Mani one comes off the boat, yeah.

Really good timing. Very good timing.

But I mean, that's quite quick from Japan, isn't it?

Yeah, well, it's it went direct from Nagoya.

I thought it was thought of humanity the good old Lego Land went from. Lansing.

Director Brisbane and then has come down from Brisbane to Melbourne and docks on Friday, so it's about 10 days.

I think it takes 10 or 11 days. And where do you pick it up

from? Or does it go to the compliance

place and then you? Workshop Knox.

Apex Performance, meaning they're called and they're an agent for the for the compliance workshop in Sydney.

But Dale look after I went out and met them the other day and introduced myself, which I'm directly ever did.

And yeah, they look after the compliance and also the the registration. I mean they they register them

because it's the first time that be registered in Australia.

Much easy to go with them. You know the guys at the.

And you give them your custom plates to go on it.

That's right. Yeah.

So I'll give them the plates. I've got a new airbox coming for

that from or not a new one. It's second hand one that's been

found for me. Yahoo Japan that.

Song, you made that. It's got a Blitz pod philtre on

it. Yeah.

So it's got a few little subtle little.

Might just leave that that. Well, there's a question mark

whether or not it's Rd worthy with the pod Philtre OHK.

OK, so this was like 150 bucks landed this whole new airbox thing, you know, for Yeah, yeah. But it's, it's worth having

anyway just in case the worst thing they say ohhhhh, they can't possibly do that. So then we'll say we'll put this

one on. So yeah.

So that's all happened sort of quite organically, which in the last couple of weeks, which I wasn't expecting.

So very happy about that. It took the accord on a club run

last weekend and added about 270 kilometres to its 472,000.

I saw the picture of some of the other Hondas that went along.

It's a stunning day. It, it was so funny actually,

because it was, it was saying, I mean, it was freezing cold to begin with and cloudy. We drove down the Monash, drove

absolutely in, in deep cloud and mist and everything, and then came out the other end of the tunnel and into blue sky and brilliant sunshine. It was like we did some sort of

time time warp. Travel, I don't know.

It's down at the speed though it had only done 25,000 K.

There you go. That would be but no, it, the

car went beautifully and the, the day was, the weather was fantastic. And yeah, it was a great drive.

So that has a lovely car on the on the open Rd.

I mean, I think I've said it on the podcast before, but it's a real sweet spot between a smaller Civic and a legend.

I know it's it's easy and and relaxed sunroof, which will get to you later in our special topic for the night after if I open. And yeah, very pleasant day out

like it. What about you?

It's exciting to hear the just quickly did.

Was it sold privately or was it sold to like through a dealer?

Or can you tell the funny story with that team?

Should should I? He's quite a funny story.

It is quite a funny story. So it's been sitting at A at a

workshop and not a workshop, a dealership as I've mentioned before for some time when there was the question mark over the compliance, compliance ability of the N ones.

They took it off the off the market and it had just been sitting down there and we discussed it in Oster around what the one of the guys that works there is a very good friend of mine. It knows him well too.

And we he he's always loved the car and he wanted to buy it and I'm Denard and decided he wouldn't.

But thanks anyway for the offer. That was great.

And he I messaged him. He rang me on Wednesday and

said, oh, look, he said I've just noticed a really tiny little scratch. He said it wasn't there.

He said, I don't think it was there.

I must have done it, you know, squeezing past the car one day or something because it's sort of being jammed into.

I think it's hilarious because they pack it, you know, in the tiniest little place. Because narrow.

Sorry, it's so narrow, that car. That's right.

So he said. I'm really, I'm really sorry,

but you know, but I'll get get my detail and have a look at it and and and and and Polish it out.

Said OK, no problem. So you bring me the next day and

I said he said, ohhhhh, I don't know how to tell you this.

I said, what's wrong? He said he's cut it too much.

He's cut through the paint, taken the because the paints cars are not let's not let's just say they're not, you know, they don't have an inch of Glasurit on them.

They're yeah, they're quite economic with the paint because they're perceived not to be a not last forever.

I presume that's probably part of it.

But so the pain is pretty thin and the fact it was Milano red, which is Honda pink as it ages. But but I said, oh, then you got

to be kidding. He said we'll have to paint the

door and I said, no, I mean the car isn't head pain anywhere.

You know, problem the door painted 11 never match.

Let's just see how it is. So he sent me a photo and it was

it. It had gone through the paint.

But I thought another cultures get hate going on.

I'd look at it. He said, we've got really good

guys. You know, you won't even tell

you you'll get it done and we've got to do what we can't give it back to you scratched. And you know, I said, no, no,

no, leave it, leave it with me. You know, I'm happy to do it.

And and I I rang him, he was on the phone.

He rang me back and I, I said look, I'll come and pick it up on Saturday anyway. He said no, no.

He said, if it's still alright. He said I've decided to buy it.

Ohk. Well, he said Yep, Yep, Yep,

please, please. He said.

I've, I've thought about it, he said, and that he's between him saying he wouldn't buy it. His, his daily car had been run

into in the street and he was saying it's written not worth repairing. And it was still sort of driving

it around for the time being until that I think was a rubbish truck headed or one of them. So the council sort of, you

know, looking at paying him out and stuff.

Anyway, I said you don't have to buy the car just cause it's got a scratch on it. Like, you know, don't feel bad,

you know, look we'll sort this out, it's all doing alright, he said. I've I've, I've got the money,

he said if it's still alright with you, I'll buy it.

And I said OK, well done, I want it done.

All because of a scratch. Because of a scratch.

No, no, I'd like to think of it. Because he loved it, that's why.

Sorry, black one on on OHT was at Church Street or, OR it was right near where the the corner hotel is.

So there's there's a black and white and and step point.

He's like, oh, look, is it? Then I'm like where?

I'm like, oh, so, so, So there's a few other ones in the in Melbourne, which is which is cool to say.

One other one on the road, it was one of those like out of body experiences, seeing something that I'm not expecting to see in that area. You know, this was Durak.

Oh, wow, OK, there is another one on the road, but this guy actually, he's he's really the scuba diving and he said it's one of the few cars I can actually store my scuba tanks vertically in because of the major.

Magically seats. Yeah, hold the base up and you

can line them up across the space in the back.

There you go. Yeah, he's very happy, Very

happy. We are also joined by Robin

Harley. How are you, Rob?

Cool. Thank you.

How are you? Doing How are you, Holly?

Has been having some technology issues, some tech issues here trying to get on well, you know. What we're doing, we don't care.

Updates, updates with you guys, Anything, anything new?

Anything blank? Blank.

Blank. No.

No. Blanket, right?

Yeah. All good.

No, everything's all good here. All good.

Very good. Very good, just just just trying

to compose myself after having all these troubles.

So updates with me, not much. I've done nothing this week.

So moving on to tonight, something out.

The reason why I'm bringing this topic up is four said, well, we're taking out the automatic parking, you know, assist like that they had in the ranges and all that.

You know that they can park themselves because they they realise that no one really uses it like like it's it's not really used. It's kind of one of those wanky

little things that that's been put into cars to we're making your life easier. But nobody really uses because

anyone that can drive, can parallel park and can, can do all those things. So it made me think about like

if we had to have like a frugal car or, or have to pick options and, and, and, and accessory. We're not accessories, but

mainly, you know, features in a car that are a must for us.

What would you have and why would you have it and what would be? So we'll cover that and we'll

cover what, what things do you know you've never used in your car or will never, never continue to use?

Because carmakers seem to be putting all this technology in cars. But other companies are like

some car companies are simplifying cars by taking things out. And cars are a good example of

that, David, because they're, you know, they're quite simple, you know, and they're very easy to use and got everything you need. So I want to leave it in your

capable hands, gentlemen, because you guys are all the, the car Wizards. We are, we are masters of, of we

expressing car discussion. We, I would ask you, what are

some things that you, you, you always use in your car and other must haves? And, and then we'll get to what

are things that users will, you've never used, even though it's a cool feature or it's a pretty lame feature, but you've never touched it. So one of the things that you

want, and I want to tell you straight up from my experience in the Fiesta, I never thought I'd say this, but ah God, I love heated seats. Yeah, they are.

They are amazing. So I don't think I could, you

know, live live without, live without heated seats in that car and heated steering. Well, actually, I thought that

was a bit of a bit of a wanky feature, but the heated steering wheel on a winter's morning, you put your hands on the wheel.

It's just nice and toasty and warm.

Oh, chefs kiss. It's I've, I've, I've gone soft,

You're right. I've, I've gone soft.

I'm, I'm, I'm a big softy mate. So I mean, we all know that

anyway. But like the I've got I've gone,

I've got really soft without, you know, my getting into my 30s of, you know, bum warmers and and hand warmers.

So one of the things that you guys are must haves in your car.

I do like central locking. I think when I was a kid, I

mean, they did have central locking back then, but we were poor and we didn't have it. And I think, you know, when

you've been in a car with friends or family and you've gotta go clunk and then reach over and go clunk and then reach the back door and go clunk and let everyone in.

And then when you pull out the supermarket, you're gonna lock that one and I'll lock that one and I'll lock that one.

Like that is really quite cumbersome.

So I don't mind using a key like in my old Benzes, it's all key.

It's not remote, but just for the driver to be able to go click and everyone can get in and everything locks, the boot locks, the fuel cap locks. You know, that is quite a nice

convenience. So I can live without a lot of

other bullshit. But central locking in a sedan

or a waggon particularly is you're putting a convertible not so bad because there's only one other door, you know.

But yeah, like my MX5 doesn't have it.

It's one door. It's no, it's it's no chore to

just lean over and do that one. But it's saying dragon.

Yeah, I want, I want central looking.

You gotta expand on that. You want keyless entry key in

your pocket. Don't we see that?

Shopping in there, you don't want to get your cane user key.

That's a good point, Rob, I, I. Find those things always a bit

fickle and I I never quite know if the car is locked when I've walked away and I'm just always a bit always a bit too smart for its own good. That wheeless bullshit.

And like push the start see key still in your pocket.

Well, I mean, I've used a lot of it, but over the years, but I'm like like, like my mum's Yaris has got that keyless entry thing. And every time I wash it, you

know, the keys usually in the car in my pocket and I wash it and the water pressure goes on the centre and a bit and it locks and then a bit bit and it's unlocking and dip it.

Like it does that eight times just while I'm washing it.

And I think fucking shut. Like, yeah, well, that happened

one day. So I used my key to back it out

of the garage. And then mum jumped in and I

jumped out. And even though she had her key

in her bag in the car, because mine was the key that had started it, it, it ground to a halt in the middle of the road, you know, and she's looking at me like, hey, hey, hey.

I can't move a come. And so then I had to come back,

turn it all off, turn it back on with her key.

So it recognised that. And then it was OK.

And I just thought, you know, just bullshit like this doesn't happen or in the old days, it's just, you know, yeah, I can live without that crap. But Central Lock can give me

central. Rob.

You're you're, you're floor. You're a battle, Rob.

Boston. Yeah, now I'm with you, Rob.

I'm with you. Well I I do I gotta admit there

watching my wife's Tesla having an app on.

You're watching it. There is a wash mode so you can

shut everything off. But if you don't shut the thing

off, the electric flap opens up, the charge port opens up, doors open and close and things come on and off.

See there is a wash mode for a Tesla.

Wash the car, you know. Just.

So maybe a cars gotta wash mode there.

To Yaris Cross, I guarantee it doesn't have a wash mode.

What other what other things you guys must have in your?

OK, I'm just gonna put it out there, reversing camera.

Yeah, that was mine. Reversing camera.

Yeah, look like the guiding lines that go with it and.

Move. Love it.

Remember, the older ones just had the lines there, but they didn't move. Yeah, they were staged straight

now, the ones that move, the guided ones, Yeah, Like that.

Yeah, just on that. I was backing in my my Transit

van towards Betrayer the other day and it's actually got a guiding point for the tow ball as well.

OHS really? Yeah.

Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, it was pretty good.

So yeah, reverse camera is good in that when you're reversing tour trailer, so you're not smashing your bumper bar every time you reverse a car or, you know, panic when you get too close. That's a good thing about the

reverse camera. And also, I was talking about

this to someone the other day is if you drive into a parking spot, you'll be off at the shopping centre driving in rather than reversing in, because when you use your reverse camera, the camera can see it's got a very good peripheral view. Agreed.

Cross traffic alert or one? Traffic alert and everything

else when you're reversing, whereas if you reverse in, you can stick your whole nose out before you can see anything.

So this camera good one. I've got a reverse camera.

Well, it had. Unless you got a 360 camera.

Sorry, but that's different again.

Oh, I see. They're pretty good too, but I

think they're a bit magic. I don't know quite how they

work. Like that's a bit in the

technology. It's witchcraft as well, that

is. Couldn't say under your car and.

I know, I know. We had we rented a car in the

UK. Was it a a dualist?

I think no cash kite and it it was fully specked and it had this thing. I just every time I used, I

thought this is fantastic. It's also a bit evil, but it's

fantastic. Devil be gone, but what is What

is this sorcery Yeah reverse come is a good one.

I can relate with that. I put the reverse camera in my

laser and everyone's like, there's gonna be like a couple you put in a laser. But tell you what, it makes

going into the tightest little spots really easy so.

I think 1 I, I, I purposely sought out an end one that had a reverse camera when I bought the first one and people laughed and laughed at me. You know, why would you need to

reverse camera in that? I can park that thing, jam that

car into the tiniest spot with that camera and Demi driveway now line up 4K cars in the garage.

But. The deputy of cruise control and

cruise control speed, the speed cameras everywhere and all that.

I mean, it does save your life and see some situations I think.

Hmm. I don't like adaptive.

I don't mind cruise, but I don't like adaptive noise.

You could hit the brake with adaptive and you can still speed up if you want to, you know that.

Just don't like it. No, what it would do is, you

know, it pulls you back from the car in front, obviously keeps you a safe distance. And so if you're in in the left

lane chatting away, blah, blah, passenger, and you know, it's keeping you a nice distance. Suddenly you look down, you go.

Why am I doing 91 in 100 zone? You know, and and and you've got

to pull out and only then once you pull out, then it recognises, whereas normal cruise.

If I was doing 100 and someone was doing 91, you know, I gradually creep on them and then I just go out and around and I just go out and around and just keep going like a like a shark, you know, just keep moving. So I found it annoyingly would

be pulling me back without me realising.

And whereas normal crews, I was fine with that and I I would turn off the adaptive function in the BMW's and just because you could turn off the adaptive bit and go back to normal and use the normal bit out. But yeah, use, use the normal

bit quite often. That was fine.

What else? Sunroof.

David likes the sunroof. Sunroof.

Moonroof. No, you don't wanna.

Get something in the right car though.

Nah, I don't think there something you need.

They're nothing. Special, but some kind of

student Scotty and like and some cars just don't suit it.

Like if you had a a laser like Matty J and it had a pop-up Perspex 1985 style sunroof. No, I don't want that.

I don't want that leaky bucket of puss in my roof.

Whereas if you got a Mercedes with a genuine factory Webasto electric sliding tilt slide roof, yes, I want that in my car. No, I'm with you, Scotty.

I, you know, it's not a deal breaker for me for a sunroof and the car. I only have had two cars with

sunroof, the forest, which which was always good, but the Merc one always broke. The whole car was broken.

And let's be honest. But the the that that always,

you know, kept open and and let water in and it was just it's it's a bit of a you know, like I get it, it's cool, but like the nobody kind of wears off, you know, look, real quick, Sorry, correction. I had on three guys.

I had it on the accord as well. And that yeah, it was great.

And you feel really cool with the, you know, just popped up a little bit like, yeah, this is this is this I?

Like the pop up? I like the tilt for parking.

Yes, good. Inventing the car.

Yes, good for venting. I like that and it looks cool.

With the with the, as much as I don't like Volkswagens these days, but they they've got a great function where you can actually just hold the button down on all the Golfs and all the windows. Drives, yeah.

Opens up. Yeah, that's good.

While you walk into it. My Odyssey had that in 2004.

Rob just. 1 cup. I like a good left foot rest.

You know a lot of cars either have a too small a foot rest or they don't have one. Some older cars but a decent

left foot rest is always welcome.

Yeah, well, I'm a fan of rest. You know what I can't do

without? Is a cow with no armrest.

I hate it. I hate cars with no armrests.

As in in the the middle bit. Middle bit, yeah.

It's like there's something out there.

You're missing something. Conference and map pocket

pockets. We know you gotta think about

map pockets too. And at the end of the chimney.

Yeah, Jimmy. Doesn't have an armrest look.

I'm surprised that cruise control.

It did dinner, They got cruise. Yeah, yeah.

There you go. Here's one for you.

Would you, would you guys think a self demisting like like a deicing windshield in especially in Australia?

Is that, is that a good thing Now We're probably not.

Wouldn't even notice if I had it.

But a lot of them do have that The wires through the whole windscreen now don't. They Yep, correct.

Yeah. Yeah, I think it's a great idea.

I mean, it stops that fogging, you know, with, with having to put your demister on flat out blowing all this air trying to keep it all, you know, dry. Um, especially on all the car

where you get moisture in the on the carpet and.

Yeah. Stuff like that.

Would you say electric windows are a must in the Kanakala these days? Or would you Would you still be

happy with crank windows? Yeah, it doesn't worry me.

Look at the A 30 Scott one now windows and I don't miss the electric windows at all, but they're good to have thing especially, you know, sometimes when you want to know when you get that buffering like that buffing, yeah, put the window down a little bit and equalises everything.

Yeah, it's probably it's handy to put not so much the drivers window, I wouldn't care. But to to be able to do the

other ones and sort of cross event or whatever that's handy having electric. For me and other ones, really

good infotainment. So like, but like that's got

Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and like it has you have to have that. I think for me is really

important. As I said, my friend at work

said it's like being able to see it's, it's, it's, it's, it's honestly a game changer. It just, it makes your

functionality just perfect and everything just just seamless.

And for me, that's a massive I get anything these days.

On that further, further to that is that when you leave your car, it tells you where you parked your car.

When you go to the shops, you don't have to go looking for it because you know where you are, where your car is.

Yeah, the the car apps are pretty good these days, Yeah.

Yeah, it's pretty good. I've never struggled finding my

car. Nor have I, but some people do.

I know some people do. I lost my car in crown for a

good hour once and it was, I honestly, I was standing was like, not my cars been nicked, my cars been nicked.

And I'm, I'm going up and down the bloody lifts and all that.

And yeah. And then my mates are still

there cause I left earlier and, and, and I call my, can you ask me for my car? They're like, why are you still

here? It was like 45 minutes late.

What are you doing? Yeah, that wasn't that wasn't a

fun day. So yeah, I I don't mind that

one. What about digital telemetry on

the on like for your for your speedos and everything?

You still happy with media read out?

So you happy with manual still or do you?

That's a nice accurate way of seeing 100 and 100 and two 100 and. 30 No, it's almost annoying because then it's on an odd

number and not a yeah and it flickers around.

I'd rather engage. Engage and it's hard to keep it

on the number. So if you want to do and I-100,

it easily just drops down. It's like 99.

You try and go a little bit more than just jump straight to like 100 and. Yeah, and then and then I'm

watching it. It's annoying.

And then I'm distracted. So.

Got distracted? But that's why you put your

cruise on, as Rob would say, and then you and.

Yes, yes. Then I would use Cruise in that

instance. Hmm.

Even then, it'll still jump with crews.

Heads up, Even better. Heads up displacement.

That is pretty. Never really look at it like my

mum's cars got it out here. Old car had it, they all.

About half the Beamers I drove had it and it I find myself looking at the Speedo and not the heads up.

Yeah, I just sort of ignore it. It could not be there.

So do you think heads up is a bit wonky or is it?

My mum loves it, you know, she had in the previous car, in the, in the current car and it's her favourite feature of the whole thing, you know. The Toyota readout that have the

sat NAV connected to so it reads the.

Yeah, I think it does. Over and stuff you.

Don't quote me on that, but I think it does.

But that was one of the reasons to get that model was, oh, we had head up and she really liked that.

So I thought, well, whatever we, whatever car we buy next ideally would have it. One of those things that for

some people, I think if you lived with, if you've never had it, you would know any better. But once you've had it, you, you

kind of want it again. Unless you're me, you know, I

had it and didn't care. But.

I was also going to say Jules Zone climate control.

Yeah, all, all tries or whatever it is, because like I'm always in, I'm always punching her with my my passengers because I like my car is nice and toasty and they're like, it's too, it's too hot. Yeah.

And I'm like, I'm like, well, tough, it's my car.

Where is this? Where is this kind of allows it.

You know you can have a cooler one side, hotter one side.

Effective. Is that really?

I mean, we've got we've got it in our car, but it's like you're like it's like having a smoking side on the passenger seat on the passenger side and no non smoke on the drivers.

I mean, you're right next to the person I mean.

I would have said the same thing, David, but it actually, it actually works quite well. I you know, I remember the first

time you had it, I was blown away.

My dad's territory when when we had it back back in 2006, I was like, oh man, I just used to play with it for fun.

The mothers like, you gotta break the car.

Don't do that. But he, he, he, he, he would

always have the icon blaring and, and I'd be freezing, so I'd have it on my side like, you know, 2526 and I'll be, I'll be nice. And he just like he's just, he's

sweating and he's too cold. And it was weird.

But yeah, I always used to think, Oh yeah, this this that, that that's a good feature to have, you know, where you're not punching on and, and, and the like.

So, yeah, don't mind, don't mind that one.

I think that I think that's a good one.

But I think climate control in general is a bit, especially when you press order like it just the fan goes 1,000,000 miles an hour and it's and it's it's noisy.

And I hate auto. Auto never want.

And like African Rowan always says it's climate out of control. He calls it kissing him.

It does what you plenty want. Yeah, I like to even on any car

with climate control, I'll be like manual temperature selection. Where do I want the air fan on

one or two, like a real low setting and just let it let it be. I never hit auto.

OHS what was that bro? I said sorry, I was gonna have

to. We're gonna have climate

controlled glove boxes so you can call your chocolates.

Or you drink soft drinks, maybe? Yeah.

Toyota Crown. Toyota Crown.

That's the thing. I I yeah, I've I've never been a

fan of of like, you know, that I I was I put up a further knobs on cars too. Not, not not like touch buttons

or anything like I always preferred, you know, physical, you know, switch switch gears and knobs and and things and buttons you can actually press and make things work.

I think I think that's I think I think Bonza make things a lot more simpler. One other things, gentlemen, I

must have is in a car for you guys today, like must have features that that you know Yep, I mean for cars got these ones.

I'm, I'm good, I've got. You gotta have the coloured

lights within the car that you like it change.

Ohhhhh God. Hey, blue, red, green.

No, no. No, no.

Yeah, angry mud got red. Then calm yourself and you get a

nice, you don't know, yellows or something.

I'm just joking about that one. No, no, no, you're not.

What about you, Holly? Any any in particular that that

that you like? I love this feature.

This is a great feature in the. Car you got the Amrock, you got

all the features in there. Amrox, there's no features in

there. That's that's manual air

conditioning, automatic air conditioning.

Hasn't it start with the cane ignition?

Still very basic. You know what's real good is the

actual light around the ignition switch when if you do have a.

Case I'm with you on that. That is let's crap here.

My transit hasn't got it. He's Amrock hasn't got it and

you're trying at night, you're trying to find where the key.

Goes that was a thing in every eighties 90s car.

They all had that and it's been a bit tight asly.

Removed now on some. Things on the Transit and the

Amarok both have. You have to put a key in and

turn the ignition on my word. And it's not illuminated.

Wow. But yet I can open up the cow

for my app. It's look it's start the car

with the app, but you still need to put the key in to drive it.

Yeah. I think another good feature

kind of connecting with that is um, I know the Subaru had it is if you when you turn car off, even if you got your headlights left on, they turn off. Yeah.

Good. Feature.

They don't stay on, so your battery's gonna be safe.

Looking a little deeper, what about a little boom boom boom boom? Scotty.

Yeah. I mean, yeah, even if they've

got, even if they've got a beeper that's.

That's a little headlight beeper that's always welcome.

You know the worst ones with the 80s Benz Beavers though, they wanna be there. Just a noise like.

They go like, they go like this, right?

Trust between Japan and Germany in the 80s.

So the Honda Accord that you know, all the legends and things of the, of the era in the 80s, they were like, like, excuse me, you're like the beautiful polite little deep that bends is literally. And Rob smiling cause he knows

what I'm gonna say, you know, like this, it's this real harsh just buzz noise that's like. You idiot, you left your lights.

Very aggressive, and it's quite frightening.

The first time you hear it was the Japanese cars are very, very soft. Yeah.

My, my, my 124, remember? I opened the door and what the

hell was that? It was.

You know, I mean really quite offensive, yeah.

But anyway. What is is the automatic high

beams and dipping lights? Yeah, it's quite handy.

I don't mind that one, yeah. Yeah, the first time I ever

experienced that, I had a 5 Series where that tech was really new and I drove it down to Thorpe Dale, you know, potato country down Gippsland. And it was a really stormy night

thunderstorming. And I, I had the high beam on

and then it was, it was going off before I'd even registered a car was coming the other way. Like it sensed the light that

well. And I at the end of that, Yep, I

went well that that that feature actually really works well.

You can just put high beam on and sort of set it forget.

Yeah, it's really good on the Fiesta.

It's got that matrix LED, so like it.

It keeps your high beams on, but it.

Blocks them out. It blocks those ones out so.

Like, yeah, that's a cool feature.

So, so like it and you see as soon as I go past the the the the the LCD coming back to life, which is really cool section.

I think that's a great feature. I think that's really we are

joined by Alan Deep seeing how are you mate?

Helen running a bit sick. Ohe mate.

I had even I was sick, had a busy day today.

Had to get myself to South Melbourne at 8:00 AM which coming from the north. Suburbs waking up for work

alarm. I didn't see you there.

Maybe I was in a different building it and then he had some. Like that he's wearing at the

moment. Yeah, it's it's it keeps me

warm, helps me get better. And then I have to do some

reading stuff. So yeah, I'm feeling a bit

better at home now. Comfortable.

Telling you what, we're discussing features and colours that we really like like that. And I think we've got a few

really important, feel like important features.

Any in particular to you that you're like, Oh yeah, I now that I've had this, I can't go back. See, we actually discussed this

a couple weeks ago. Like, I never thought I'd be the

push boy, but I'm like, I like heated seats, warm bum on a cold morning. You know, it's, it's something

else. Yeah, it is.

Yeah, especially because I don't due to allergies or whatnot if I leave the heater on too long. I found my throat drying and

getting a bit weird that way so I'd rather just have the seat warm warming me then maybe not worrying about having kids in the future because they might be a little bad rather than just yeah have the have the air conditioning in the car.

I do like what you mentioned about the automatic dimming high beams. They're quite handy.

Like I'd say most of us take care of when we drive us more about the inconsiderate people on the road that decide to hide them everywhere they can. And they won't stop.

You flash them and they won't stop.

It won't until you actually hit them with high beams for like a good 10 seconds. That's when they realise, oh, I

had mine on, sorry. Just those pretty cool features.

But even something more basic like parking sensors, Yeah, just the difference it makes them like one a person's confidence in driving a car that maybe is a bit big for them, usually all parking in a spot that they usually wouldn't try just because they know the sensible kind of let them know for that last little bit, hey, you've gone far enough.

And I as far as I can tell, they're only reduced the amount of kind of small accidents because having that sensor or camera, which these days most cars have cameras, you know, unless you're an idiot, you know, when it's going full beave stop. You know, if you keep going

further than that then maybe you deserve to have a bit of an issue. And.

Yeah. So I, I think, I think those are

definitely big benefits these days.

The day I picked up my 2000 S class from the first owner drove it home to my apartment. The beepers were going off, you

know, so I I was like oh beepers annoying.

Turned them off and promptly backed it into the wall of the garage. I thought, well, I was getting

the bumper sprayed anyway from the other side and now it's just gonna get sprayed on this side too, the whole thing.

So I, I didn't cry too much about it because of that, but I was like, well, that's why you had the beepers in.

The big downside all worry that I have with them is because all cameras is if they're one day they don't work and you're like oh crap, what do I do now? Just yesterday I put the DMX in

reverse and the screen went black and I was.

Like shit. I'm not used to this.

I took our reverse and put it back in reverse and then it came back. But I'm like that.

There is a bit of an over reliance on this stuff, but still I think I'd rather have it than learn the hard way how long the tow bar is at the end of my car.

I'll talk. At least if you got a tow bar,

you crunched that into the wall or whatever, you know, Yeah.

This Hopefully you don't crunch into one year on cars.

No, sorry, a little bit different, but adaptive headlights, again, high beam light.

BMW's got that the motorcycle, so it's got cornering and high beam and it actually lowers automatically and whatnot.

But it went into faults on the way back from Alice Springs and I've got caught at dusk, so I had no high beam at all.

And you got Kangaroos, both the things and I'm I'm still about half an hour away from Coober Pedy, middle of nowhere at night time. It wasn't a very good experience

of not having high beam. Believe me, it was scary.

Yeah, it could. Could you put manual high beam

on or it wouldn't let? Out every time I flicked, it

will still stay down, it'll go right, but only down.

It wouldn't flip up. So like a matrix one will

actually open up. And it wasn't wasn't flipping

up, it wasn't doing an automatic thing.

Did you get it fixed while you're out there on that?

Trip. I turned it off, turn it all

back on again and worked for a little while and then it failed again. Yeah.

So it's I'll have to get it looked at when I take it in for service. Yeah.

So that's why all the people with the full rows get those big light bars. They're like one day maybe was

gonna fail to flick them on and be like, see, I proved everyone wrong. Why have they got him at the

back? I don't know.

I've I've seen why when people tell gate them, they just put them on and then they blind 40 cars behind them.

But it's I've seen I've seen it happen.

It's it's not not a good time. Here's one for intermittent

wipers. So no, but you'll, you'll laugh.

But I don't like him actually. No intermittent wipers or

automatic intermittent wipers. Intermittent.

The ones you can, you can you can.

You can I appreciate those I. Appreciate it.

Either I like to dial it in. I'm OK with that.

I like to deal with this. Yeah, that's the ones you want.

There's a good movie on that, wasn't there?

The guy designed the first intermittent wipers and he tried to sell the Chrysler or someone and they end up stealing his design. Never seen that.

Yeah, I thought that was gonna be a dad joke.

No, no, no. It was true to life, movie,

Internet, and he took it to all about our companies, standing up, getting paid out, but you end up getting divorced, losing his house, all sorts of things. Yeah, but he actually came up

with the intermittent wiper. OK.

So we've discussed things that that I must have any last one before we move on to the ones that we've never used.

We'll, we'll continue not to use and it's the biggest waste of time and, and, and stuff in the car.

All memory seats are good when you missus is totally different to you in yeah #1 #2. And then you can just do the

seat. It does the seat and the

exterior mirrors in newer cars and sometimes the interior rearview mirror. So it's it's the whole setup is

becoming. You steering wheel, even air

conditioning and it sits. There, Yeah.

Driver modes and everything in the Tesla so you can.

Have. Says welcome Rob and

everything's to Rob settings and.

Like, thank you. Thank you.

OK. And then Holly.

Remember that was the coolest thing when when dad got his territory years ago, it was part of the Geo package.

You, you got memory, say I had three, three memories on it.

And it recognises your key. So depending on the key that you

had in the car or the OR the button.

So when you unlock it, it, it would move the seat.

And then we get all and I was like, oh man, we're in 20-30.

This is the future. Like this is I thought that was

pretty cool feature. So what are the features that

you you guys have never used? And it's pointless.

And you like, I don't even know why this is in this car.

Wait for it to say dashcams. Ah, I hate dashcams.

Yeah, I really think that anyone with in this Honda Jazz, I've just bought the guys like do you want the dashcam this out?

And I said no, pull it out. You can keep it.

You know, what am I gonna do? I'm gonna throw out the bin.

I think people with dashcams I'm generalising here but I get sometimes they have a use. People would want to get an

accident. That they they, they like a bit

of trouble, You know, there there's they're looking for Harley. Harley not looking.

What was I was I you in the video with the girl?

Oh, look at my driving, because my driving that's I'm driving and it crashes into into a rage. It's great when you Mercedes

gets stolen and the cop is throw out the the spikes and they drive over the spikes and then crash into her.

What was it, a Ranger? And yeah, that sounds pretty

good. It might be great watching.

You're better than the days of our lives, you know.

Channel, you know that nice channel dash cams Australia or something. I I was watching that at a mates

house the other night and we was like, oh, what's this guy doing?

Oh, wouldn't you know? For like an hour and then I.

Went to drive home and I was like.

It makes you very paranoid. Paranoid.

I can't watch it, I just get angry.

Yeah, they, they have a like I think it's April Fools Day or something. They'll usually post a

compilation of people who are very clearly in the wrong and they sent their clips in thinking that they're gonna, you know, really get a win on. And just that that really gets

your blood boiling. But it's also gives you a bit of

a laugh because you know the amount of people that assume they're on the right so confidently but are so incorrect. I remember when that Channel

first came out, I was like, oh, my dad's going to be on this for sure. I, I watched the whole

catalogue. So like if it was cause I mean,

it's very recognisable plate. I'm like him, if he's on here,

well, it doesn't surprise me. Don't be so embarrassed and all,

but I don't want to say, hey you dad, you can't drive.

So I was, yeah, I remember watching the all of them were like, oh, thank God he's on there.

But you know, I, I haven't watched them in years.

But yeah, I know what you mean. Scotty, you say how did what,

how does that happen? Like, yeah, but the best, the

best ones are the are the Russian ones.

Like they, they, they are, they're actually funny.

I remember watching this, this this guys at a stoplight and this Ford Focus is upside down coming the other way, just straight past the car, just slide.

I'm like, how does that even happen?

Like if you type in Russian tunnel camera and you see the normal flow of traffic and then there's some guy going four times the speed of everyone into this tunnel.

So what do you think's going to happen?

It's going to go very wrong for you.

Yes, not a good time. What other things that we don't

use? Guys as an ex BMW driver I'd say

indicators. And.

They're just useless, don't need them.

The indicator stalks always freshener on a on a BMW.

Hmm. Always looking?

Never use your cigarette lighter.

How do you sequential type? Like those?

Frankie, isn't it? We sit there and go.

Look. Look, look.

It's annoying to watch. Thing with companies like

everyone's copied that style though, because the car companies are sheep. They they all, they all follow

each other but. Yeah, sorry.

You know what I hate is when they've got your daytime running lights, but when you put indicator on, one turns off.

It just looks so. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, seen that? Yeah, but isn't.

Yeah, has the blank. That's what the new F1 fifties

were recalled. Alright, OK.

In America they have the blank them off.

OK, that will deliver them on blank.

So now I have to take your car back to get it reprogrammed.

The worst one I think is is Mazda with that with the the the heartbeat, the pulse. I'm like that is for the

indicator. Like there's like when it goes

down slowly and I'm like, that is the stupidest.

Like it's not even cool like. It's.

Every time I say I'm like that is that is such wank like like that is that is the the worst. Like why for for what reason is

that even like who, who, who, who, who who is it?

Oh, let's make this into a heartbeat.

So this shows the cards are live.

Like that is it's a freaking indicated.

You just want to get to know where you're going.

It's so hard. I don't like how they've moved

the indicators from where the headlight is and they moved them down on the bottom either the bottom front bumper, on the bottom rear bumper. OK.

Have you seen some of those? Ones.

Got one too. It's too low.

I don't like it too low. It's like the cars if the cars

in the roundabout and that because they like to plant bushes in there. You can't see, you don't know

until they've already come around.

And you always, your eye level is always looking in that spot for their indicator. Yeah, and you've gotta keep

looking down. Now.

It's lazy at your eye level. It's always like they've

forgotten about putting it in the light cluster.

Yeah. And they've gone.

We've got to put it quick and they just.

Break light, tail light, reverse light reflector there's.

Something else? Yeah.

What was? It you know what a height really

height is, The Pajaros when they hit the big back and they disconnected all their beautiful lights, yes, lights down below because you couldn't see it from a certain angle.

That was so stupid and it was that was an Australian design rule thing as well. It's almost like let's just put

the lights down the bottom and and and remove all those ones up top. Crazy.

Why not have the ones up top? And OK, if you need the ones at

the bottom as well for your design rule, fine, put them at the bottom as well. But why are you disconnecting

the factory ones up high? It's it's stupid.

I had a lady come in with it with a Prado one, very stupid, and she's like, oh, I just bought the car.

But I noticed all the back lights are like, Oh my God, come and have a look and I'm like you on the break and only the bottom ones back. I'm like, yeah, I'm pretty sure

that these are you probably got a globe out.

But I pull the pull the tail light assembly and there's nothing there. Just like these.

Reflectors delighted. GQ patrols were the same.

I think that was one of the earliest ones where they did that and then the Pajeros in that sort of 90s did it.

But then later on they went back to like my pyjamas got normal lights. It doesn't have a bar at the

bottom and it's got a spare tyre in the middle.

Like it. It just sort of didn't make

sense. I don't know why or how they got

around it, but it was that era of stupidity, yes.

I think this helped. Honda Connect.

Yeah, it's not. Great.

What is that? Under Connect is an app that

allows you to do things to your car.

Evidently. However, every time you have to

update that you're still under the car like every it is.

This Is this your vote? Yes, 30 minutes.

So you can't do anything until you update the SO and the way you update it is by actually entering the mileage and you car like the. Fuck off.

I know, right? You don't need to know the

mileage of my car. No, I'm a bit of a fan of the

brand. You, you, you understand that.

That's no secret. It's true.

I even went into the guys who I know at the dealership where I bought it. I know the service guys pretty

well because I do work in there. And I said OK boys.

So 2 words Honda Connect and they just collectively went.

I said OK I'm not shouldn't worry that I can't make it work.

They said don't worry they can't make it work.

They've been some teething problems evident.

And and that's real good until Honda sales all the information to an insurance company. Yeah, all the.

Mileages. Mileages.

How often? How far are you drive it?

How fast you've driven it. I'm surely not.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, 8 messages on my on my app

telling me that I haven't. I haven't, I haven't entered,

you know, confirmed my ownership of the vehicle.

Yes, that. Is the worst thing like my mum

and me like I mean, currently work on probably 1 phone at at a time. My mum and I, we, we we just

giving up with it. We're like, well, this is this

is ridiculous to have like, like, why?

Like I know Ford cop cock up things constantly, but their apps actually OK, they actually, it actually works.

It's not asking me to register. Yeah, I am the owner of this

vehicle every single time I'm I use the app.

So yeah, it's a yeah, we're just like, this is the most stupidest thing ever. Like why?

Why would anyone use this? This is ridiculous.

Yeah, the work in progress. I'll, I'll next time I go in

I'll, I'll check with him again to see if there's an update or something. But yeah, I don't think I'll

ever use it. I mean, I don't know the don't

see the point really. Did everyone hear that what

they're trying to do is some cars now is to actually have set connection camera recognition of speed, speed zones and your car won't go faster than the speed limit.

Really. Yeah.

I don't like. That sounds very dangerous.

It does, doesn't. It, I know the the Dmax, one of

the cruise control options, I guess you can say either speed limiter option. So you can set it to that and

then you can't physically. Yeah, let go over that.

That's your own personal setting.

That's your choice, You. Can cancel that immediately if

you need to. The card determining that for

you. Yeah, not keen on that at all.

No. Although I don't I don't mind

when it comes up on the on the dash.

Oht it tells you the speed limit of the.

Of the that's fine, it tells me that she would be good, but.

You're especially don't mind it when it says 1:30.

I'm like, OK, you're the boss. OK, can't get in trouble.

Said what, 30 you know? Sorry, just on that 130 note.

Sorry. Hold your foot, Mattie, is that

can we back down through Alice Springs?

The speed limit is 130 down the highway and we sat on 1:30 for a little while until we saw our fuel gauges go down like this and you go maybe slow down to 101 ten just to conserve a little bit of fuel and and get a bit of distance.

Not very good 1:30. And one 30s around him freeway.

Maybe 140 is a bit better. Yeah, maybe.

Maybe you're going faster? I'm 4145, could be a bit better

try that. Gonna try and find that peak

talk area and then just, you know.

Yeah, it just might be. I'll remember that.

You're welcome. No, I, I I think the like the,

the reverse parallel parking, like I've never used it on, on any kind of that's had it. I can't get there.

I've had a rental car that had it.

I didn't bother. And it's, it's a cool little

I've used it once on my, on my brother's old Ranger yad and, and, and he's like, I've never used it.

He's like, you can try it. And I tried it.

I was like, yeah, that was fun. So anyway, what's next?

You know, it was, it was, it was kind of like a, like a bit of a bit of a gimmick. But that's because you can drive

Mattie. I feel like there's a lot of

people with that cock up parallel parking.

So the point where they give up and drive away in shame, staying there for the general population, I feel there is some value to it. Particularly if you're behind,

like there's, there's pressure, there's someone watching and waiting for them and they're like, and they can't do it and then. I, I love that.

I'm like alright come on, come on, give up so I can take his spot and then you show him how it's done.

If you have a bigger than they did, it's like you know you easily could have fit this fault, but you didn't.

But yeah, didn't. What about the the summoning

control of some cars? You can call it out of a tight

parking spot. Yeah, I've seen that.

Ah, that's pretty good. My brother's car's got that and,

and it starts and it, it drives out to you and I'm like, for all the amount of times that you're going to actually use this, like is it really necessary? This is more just more to go

wrong. Is it?

No, he's a Santa Fe. Santa Fe doesn't.

OHK. OK, OK.

Yeah, I was gonna say to you, here's one that I'm I'm not not a fan of at all. I always turn off soon as I hop

in the car is the auto stop start.

That is the can't do it like like I, I, it's it's not even good like it. It puts more strain on the rest

of your car and your starter motor on your battery and everything. I'm like, oh, I'm not using it.

I'm not I'm not going to use it. So every time I'm in the car of

or just. Put mom does the same in her

Mercedes since she jumps in. Off, yeah.

The performance car, Mercedes, Mustang, you don't want that.

But in the van, in the transit, I don't mind it.

OK, No, I don't mind you my van either.

I I, I don't know if it's just that it's in traffic a lot or what, but I, I never I really unless.

It's on on hot days. Does the air con turn off too so

it blows out hot air? That's.

That's the annoying thing cause with Alpha's car, with the Honda Insight, a hot day and if you're stuck in traffic and that turns off and then you get hot air blowing out, then you get going again, then it's cold air again and.

Which which I think is kind of dumb.

Like I, I feel if you've got the ignition on, there's a specific load on the engine, you want that running like there's no point. Just plug in the car and then be

like, yeah, I'll stay home for a little bit, cool down a little bit, stay hot a little bit. If if the car knows the air

conditioning on it should just turn off the stop start.

I agree with that. But it is what it is I guess.

It does work the opposite because once it starts getting too orbital will actually turn back on to turn the air conditioning back on. It's just the car gets to pick

one. It's too warm.

Not the first for me. If the air conditioning is not

running, it's too warm. Sometimes even if the air

conditioning is too warm. All features that are just like

like I, I. This this one isn't super new

cause it's been for a while, but stock navigation apps are dog shooting cars. I've yet to find one that's

actually decent. They always add a date.

You can't type in them. You try and tell them an address

and it will take you to some other place.

We try and navigate you to China sometimes.

Like I just want to go to, you know, use any kind of play with this Android or Apple CarPlay. Do you say to the assistant the

address? It is nearly dead on most of the

time. Very rarely have had to correct

it. Whereas June Tesla would be

pretty good too. Yeah, Tesla's a pretty flawless.

Like the the Subaru 1, the Isuzu one, I think I've used I'm studies one once, but I just I don't like them.

They never, you know, they just never compete what the phones can offer. A new thing on cars that even

the car companies are realising is shit is the touch sensitive buttons on steering wheels and on and on and on, you know, different parts of dashboards. I think the companies are

realising that this is actually a really dumb idea.

So Yep, definitely no no bueno for me with that one.

Having to go into the centre console to slide volumes up and down on touch screens doesn't work.

One up, volume click or volume turn.

Much easier. So never look clean because it's

always going to have smudgy fingerprints all on it.

Give us a knob or a button, that's fine.

Just like, yeah, piano black plastic interiors.

They watched. David Prince entered the chat

with that. He had a black bloody piano.

Black. Black is is a tough mistress,

you know, you look at it rough and then it's just scratched off. Yeah, you.

Take the car home from the factory and then bam, the next day, somehow no one was in the car.

It's scratched up. Yeah, it's I I don't blame David

for hating on piano black. It's it's.

Appreciated. But I think it's especially if

the car manufacturers not trying to do a bargain part spin kind of thing, the tactile gauges or dials, they can be really, really nice kind of aspect of the car, depending on what kind of, you know, buttons and dials they have just to feel your fingers. You know, maybe I like touching

things, but it's just versus just touching your screen.

Do you feel like you feel like a kid who's trying to play some Roblox and you're just trying to be like, yeah.

Yeah. So if you say if you get

$1,000,000 Bugatti, you get all the tactile knobs, all machined aluminium stuff that you can turn.

So you normally in the past that was a basic model car, but now you're paying for it. Yeah, yeah.

Like the the Paganis, they're just amazing interiors.

It's. All about the like the tactile

experience. Now here's one for young

electric handbrakes. They can go screw themselves.

I'm sorry that. Is that and I.

Think they break that works. Works alright.

Yeah, well, I mean that that's fine because it's actually a proper handbrake. But the, the ones like you never

know if they're working, they make their rear like that and that kind of noise. And then and then I'm just like,

is it on? Is it?

Is it, is it cutting going to have issues like some normal handbrakes? Do that when you put it on and

you let go of, everything goes and moves forward or backwards a little bit. Well, I don't have a car with

it, so I I but. As a blade does.

It's got the foot one, yeah. And the blade.

And you drive up and, you know, put it in the park and stuff, and then you put the handbrake on and you get that little, little roll forward. Roll forward.

Yeah, I think. I think it's because it's the

Lord coming off the transmission and.

Yeah, and then it catches. I hate that feeling.

Would you neutral and then put the brake handbrake on?

Yep. And supposedly.

Because the transmission everything like offload.

So yeah. So it would be better, Yep.

Certain marks at the foot handbrake, didn't they?

Hmm. Yep, I didn't like that.

I liked that. C43 had that the AMG that I had

had the foot one in the W2O2. Gonna have to pull out little

tongue and then. On the right hand side, yeah,

yeah. Yeah, I don't want that like

that works, but like the the electric ones, it's just like and then some and then sometimes you open the car like it doesn't have one. You gotta start the car and it's

like turn Hamburg. I'm like, it's, it's not a

handbrake, it's a it's a bloody electronic brake and you looking for the button and. The EA and EB Falcons, they had

the hand one in the dash dash the old pull out one that was good. Imagine drifting with one of

those ones. Hey, guys.

Probably would probably work alright.

Yeah. Because it's easy to kind of

hold the button down so you know you're pulling at the same time and then just push it back in. That would be funny.

Any lost ones that are that are we we we don't use in the car?

You know what, what I I don't like a very sensitive tyre pressure monitors. It's one of our cars, not this

one. The previous one you'd get a

change in the weather and the tyre pressure monitor will come in and say you go to the service station and check them all once, once 1 LB out. OK, so you chop it up and then

you've got to go in, you reset that the system, you know, and then drag for a week and then Bob, tyre pressure monitor.

OK. So yeah.

So that. Wish monitors and I've always

known if I've had a flat tyre. I was, I was gonna add to that.

I on the on the Fiesta had it was down to PSI.

One tyre was like, that's fine. It's just not bad.

It's not leaking. I filled it up and then alarm

keep coming up on the dashboard, you know, check type or something, but they're all fine. Turns out like you said, you

gotta go in and reset it. So, so it's like, what's the

point of that? Like that's the, that's such a

stupid, it's a really stupid thing.

Yeah, not a fan of that. Read and tell it.

Can't you read when you fill them up and not tell you?

Come on. Pretty much.

Easy people, we can't be resetting.

Gonna hold, OK. And then and then the the bargos

across you OK. I'm like, look, that's just a

come on, man, really. I'll kill some safety, that's

what it is. That's a little answer.

I got one more big controversial if you think.

Hmm, launch control. Well, OK, OK.

Only because it's look, it'll be cool.

You're like, hey, I got launch control and you got a friend in the car. You show him how it works, but

then that's it. You're not gonna be hitting

every single light. You're gonna use launch control

all the time. It puts that extra strain on all

your parts in the car. You're not going to do it all

the time. So if my car didn't have it,

like, I don't care. Yeah, it's cool.

But if it doesn't have it like it's not a big deal or anything, Launch control. It's the same with the ones who

got those. Remember the old autos would

have the power button. No, yeah.

The power button on. Power slash snow button.

Yeah, it's, yeah. It's cool launch control that

they've brought it out and all that.

But I think it's since we're talking about, you know, things that you wouldn't really need or it's very necessary is it doesn't really make or break my purchase if it had.

It or not? Yeah, someone I know really

likes the the actual the exhausts button.

You know, we can actually turn the butterflies on and.

Off Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually.

Yeah. Not looking at anybody.

Probably. Almost all still support that

button versus the button where you change whatever fake sound is pumped into your car. That's true.

Yeah. Well, nobody's.

Exhaust is real too. Not like those fake built-in

exhausts that they've got now. Some of them so.

Yeah. Would agree.

Not many cake has have launched control, but I've had haven't haven't had to deal with so but it's it's nearly as I'd imagine it gets used about as much as paddle shifters with a CVT automatic. Yeah, with shifters Click,

click, click. OK, Yep, good.

OK, alright, leave it in deeper drag.

Off we go. My card got launch control.

I've never used it and I don't think I will because it just, it's got it just butchers your clutch, butches your tyres.

It's just yeah, not. American.

I reckon you would probably use it when you already know you're about to replace the clutch anyway.

Yeah, he's gonna. Go.

You're in just on your way to on the on your way to the mechanic where you're going to get the clutch done so.

Just actually trip away the whole way there.

Every stop light. Yeah.

Well, I think, I think we've got a got a quote, a definitive list. So car companies, if you're

listening, don't put in launch control, don't put in electric electronic handbrakes, put in heated seats, put in.

This cameras. Yeah, reverse cameras.

Yeah. You can keep those and and and

get rid of the auto auto functionality on your climate control cause no, nobody ever uses it.

And that is, and that is your answer, I think for the quiz, you know. Who is Quiz?

So our our favourite Scooby Doo is our quiz master this evening, Scotty the. You can take it away whenever

you're. Ready.

Alright, so these are just some normal questions.

There's nothing fancy in these ones for today, OK?

Alan True. On point, got some, you know,

latest news that might be through and then bit of motorsport and just just a bit of a mix.

That's all. Sounds good, See how we go.

You ready to go, Maddie? If you're able to keep score for

me. Absolutely.

Or already to go mate. Already are legend.

Here we go question number one, there was some lovely people who stole a car in Melbourne this week and during the chase the gentleman was very positive with his driving ability.

What Car did they steal? And ultimately, night.

Night hardly got him. I think he hardly got him. 1st.

CLA. Correct.

You could pretty much tell by the sound it was gonna be one of those cars, Yeah. I know.

With the commentary and that is just.

Beautiful. That's gonna be like that's

gonna be one of videos of the year.

Short, short. It's it's it's.

That's and The funny thing is you can't see their faces, but I already know what they look like.

Yeah, I already. Know.

It's gonna go in, no one's gonna go down in folklore like the, the Chinese, the the succulent Chinese meal guy like, like, like they, they, they, they're gonna go down in history of like just classic Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.

This one's in the ACT. So in the act last week and AU,

Falcon was seen doing burnouts and hit a spectator.

The odd thing is the gentleman was doing the burnout was wearing a costume. What was the costume?

I did not see that, that is hilarious.

I know we're we're looking at after the show.

Hmm. Did that one.

I'll have a guess. Was it Super Mark?

Was he dressed as Super Mario? No.

No, I wanna say Matthew, I'll say is some sort of animal bird.

No. No.

Yes, Alan. I think he's wearing the it's

that the banana costume that you do the peanut butter Jelly time thing. Correct.

It was the banana. I think that one's connected

with the hole, that Mexican Hoon cartel where the Anna, so that's who they're after. They have someone up in Nanako.

Yeah. It's also like the the Falcon

was like covered in graffiti, like there's like dongs and stuff like spray painted on it. There is you can.

Find. That it's pretty.

Bad. So B1 and B2 used to start

hiding right now I wouldn't. I wouldn't wanna.

I wouldn't wanna be out there be one.

After Yeah ACT I've got some big boon boon laws now.

Yeah, they'll chase you in the Subaru X rays if you're if you're hearing this. What?

What did you say, David? So obvious that.

It had better be careful with the the colour wraps.

We Yeah. Banana esque.

Jean Mustard. Where were you last week and.

Sick bed by that that's. Alibi.

Got the Jeep to prove it. Yeah, that's true.

You don't need a Doctor's alien. Rob missed out.

I bought a Jeep. You bought a Jeep.

I bought. You bought a Jeep?

Yeah. Somebody played the pot bellies.

Out of favour. We need to get a bigger boat.

Exactly. As it caught fire yet.

Not yeah. There's a lot of that kind of

cheap. No, no. 8.

He went back to work and he didn't even need a doctor certificate, just the purchase of the Jeep and like, OK, you were sick, that's fine. That's all I needed.

This is next question. We're moving to the WRC, so in

the WRS WRC, they had many fantastic battles in the past and also some amazing cheating feats.

One was Toyota. What did Toyota do to the

sleeker before being finally caught out?

Matthew? They, they had a little

restrictor plate in the turbo that, that they put like I think some washes. So when I was in, when it was,

you know, looked up by the officials, I looked like a standard turbo with the restrictor plate officially put in there. But under boost it had better

push it out and you'd get like an extra 50 horsepower or so objection. I believe the restrictor plate

actually worked by when they bolted it down and talked it down, it opened up. I think I'm taking half a point

for that. You are taking half a .0.

Well, I'm deep, singe. You're right on the money with

the horsepower too. It did give it an extra 50

horsepower, which is pretty big. I mean, the engineers were

amazing to even get a silica into WIC at the time.

Yeah. And to be able to get that extra

50 horsepower, the officials were actually stripping down that turbo and couldn't find anything really well hidden was well done to. It's a.

Engineers to come. Up.

I think I was going down as probably the best cheat in motorsport history. Like it was brilliant.

So have a point. You may have a point to alarm.

That little extra so yeah, from I think it was 3 restricted to 300 horsepower. So they're running 300 and. 50

yeah, and we're milliseconds converter like Oh yeah, 50 ourselves. Massive.

Huge. Huge.

Yeah, definitely. Question #4 What was the name of

the first Mazda vehicle? David, David, you talking 4

wheel, three wheel? Just vehicle.

Time. What was that little thing from

the 60s with tiny wheels? Coupe we talked about.

That. No.

You could just stay vehicle that would drive you around.

It's got wheels. On 360.

No alarm, Alan. Is this called the Mazda?

Nope. Matthew I I remember when we

went to the museum, it was it was a it was like, it was like it looked like a mini took took like a try kind of thing.

And I hadn't had Mitsubishi engine nothing.

And but I can't, I cannot remember the name.

It's it's. On the right track.

So don't get points. For on your head, you know what

it is. Yeah, don't get.

Do I get point flies gotta? Yeah, I would allow that.

You know what it looks like and that's pretty.

That's pretty hard. That's all fair.

None of us went, the rest of us sitting at a bank.

Hey. No, I don't know what it's.

Called every, well, favour one else for a full point.

The name of it is only two letters.

It's Mazda something. Too, Like Rob.

What do you think, Rob? Was a cat just cayenne?

Your guests? Good guess.

No, no, I got no idea. That was it.

PU for picking up. No.

No BU. Yeah.

It was the Mazda Go. Go.

That's right. Go oht.

Just GO, go. You'll.

Know that. I'm going to throw a bonus

question in there. Um, what year did it come out?

Matthew. In fact, give me the decade.

I'm gonna say 30s. Yeah.

Well done. Hmm, 1931. 31. 3131 question #5.

What's? The last rear wheel drive sedan

V8 you can still buy brand new today, drawing an end to a 20 year partnership with another company.

Matthew. Matthew.

That'll be the 300C OHK OK. Can't get them anymore.

Hmm. We don't in Australia.

We're talking international. Not Australia.

Yep, Yep Yep. Still brand new.

There's still some around that are brand new you can get still at dealerships but they're almost all gone ending a 20 year partnership with another company.

V8 rear wheel drive sedan alum. Correct, Mr. Allen.

Um, is there some kind of Maserati?

Correct. Yeah.

It's Maserati and in the V8 that was with Ferrari.

Hmm. They're going to obviously the

old turbocharged V sixes and stuff now, So what they're moving into, Too bad they won't sound as good.

No, they do sound good. Ohe yeah, question #6 Lewis

Hamilton is leaving Mercedes at the end of the year.

Where is he going to next? Holly Ferrari.

Correct is off to Ferrari. That should be pretty

interesting. School check it and David yet to

school. Myself and Rob and Harley are on

two apiece and tonight's leader currently is Alarm on 2.5.

Yes, right. Come on, This happened.

OK. Question #7 who patented the

concept of a flat engine or boxer engine?

I was going to add more to it but I'll change that.

Matthew. I'll add that as in my bonus

question, yes. Ferdinand Porsche.

No, wasn't. That Roblox.

Account No. Attended the concept of a flat

engine or boxer. Hmm.

That's a good question. It's very good question.

Yeah, I don't know. Definitely famous.

Oh, OK. How long?

Alan. Some German guy.

Not going to comment. This sunshine.

I feel like. That's that's correct.

Maybe it isn't. Have a guess, somewhere in the

deep recesses was an NSU. No.

Obviously too decreases. So Eds and Robin Holly can still

guess. Yeah, I don't know.

No good. No.

Buzz me up. People, it was Karl Benz.

Yeah, that was gonna be my that was gonna be my second pick.

But anyway, what I'm they have a flat engine?

He might have painted it but never used it.

Yeah, just painted it. Sounds like I said painted it.

He just painted it. That's all he did.

Yeah, he painted it red. Red goes faster.

So that's what he did. My bonus question is what decade

did this happen? I might do you.

That's too tricky. Matthew, I'm gonna say we would

be early on, I wanna say 1890s. Yeah, well done, man.

Well, yeah, far out. It was 1896.

There you go. I'll take it.

You smashing it? Question 8.

What Car company introduced the first mass produced V8 engine?

Matthew. Matthew.

Ford. No.

Hmm. That's what it was, OK.

Alright, David. Would it be General Motors?

More specific. Well, General Motors would be

the company, wouldn't it? I mean, General Motors has got

heaps of other kind of. Thanks.

I'll give you a point for that one.

Oh. Look at that.

Give him a point for that. Excellent.

That works. I think of we give the brands
