Fun at Parties

That car show is brought to you by Sheffield Watches.

The Sheffield Watch brand has a long and storied history, but it was revived a couple years back

by our good friend and true car guy, Jay Turkbis.

Jay was gifted a Sheffield Watch by his parents when he was a kid, and he still has it to this day.

Jay wanted to make the same experience available to all of us, a reasonably-priced, high-quality watch

that endures and that we enjoy sharing with our fellow watch enthusiasts and car people.

From Diver's Watches to Watches designed for travel to collaboration with automated powers

like Spike Ferris than Jay Leno, Sheffield has a watch for you.

Find your own Sheffield Watch at SheffieldWatches.com

and at Sheffield All Sport, underscore Watches on Instagram

and let Jay know you heard about Sheffield Watches from that car show.

I promise I am fun at parties.

This week on that car show, Ryan takes a break from designing seven more Cracker Barrel logos

to share some experiences from last weekend.

Lindsay admits that she's been licking the outside of windows when it comes to the Ford GTD.

I learned that San Bernardino is not an exotic location that should be cherished,

but a place that you should get out of as quick as you can.

We talked a little bit about the shows that we've been to recently and what it takes to put on a show.

Lindsay attended a show in the Pacific Northwest that's been going for five years

and was started by a young man called Tom who was 15 when he started the show.

We have a little bit of fun when we pair up each other to famous cars and famous car owners.

Then we talked a little bit about cars that had Corvette engines

and there are more than the five that were listed on the website.

Then finally, we talked about what plans are coming up.

In particular, Ryan has his annual adventure in all sorts of exotic cars in Colorado

as part of the Colorado Grand.

All that and a hell of a lot more on this week's that car show.

Bullshit, Long Island Ice Tea.

I've never had a Long Island Ice Tea.

My whole life, 50 years of drinking, that's not true, but I've never once enjoyed a Long Island Ice Tea.

You've got to try it. They're dangerously delicious.

At what point did we start playing? I've never ever have I?

We're all just going to be constantly taking sips.

Welcome to this week's edition of that car show.

The gang is all back together again for another week. How are we doing?

That's right. Good. How are you guys?

It's great to see you both.

Emotionally scarred.

Wait, do tell.

So I decided to go to a concert last weekend in another part of California that I've never discovered before.

And it sounded glamorous because it was this place called San Bernardino.

What I didn't realize is San Bernardino is one of the sketchiest places in California.

Is that right?

That's accurate.

I just want to say I'm sorry now to all the San Bernardinians.

All our listeners from San Bernardino.

I'm here with Empire.

They can share their tales.

I realized my mistake afterwards, but I booked another Wyndham hotel.

So if you remember when I went to the Daytona 200, it was a Wyndham hotel.

And this one was a Wyndham hotel as well.

I drove into the car park. It was a two-story motel.

Obviously I had the new Boxster.

There were half-naked people in the car park drinking alcohol.

There was one car that only had three inflated tyres.

And the windows of some of these rooms were kind of cracked.

So I sat in the car park for 10 minutes trying to find another hotel.

It was the second time in my life where I didn't check into that hotel.

I decided that Redlands was a much better place.

What's the saying? You can't go home, but you're definitely not going to stay here.

I'm also picturing Dan, this British gentleman in a brand-new guards red.

Porsche Boxster GTS 4.0.

I'm sure all eyes were on him.

No, they didn't notice. They were that drunk.

They didn't notice me in the car park.

Oh boy.

I've traveled with Dan.

Dan's bar isn't real high, so this place must have been pretty.

That's how you know it had to be really bad.

Well, and I will say in defense of Wyndham, I've had reasonable experiences there.

So it may not be across the board.

But yeah, when you pull in and there's half-naked people outside,

that's how you know it's a party.

Sounds like a bad naked.

None of them were wearing brief pants for the record.

If only they were, that would have been the coolest motel ever.

I would have checked in.

I'm going to say you might have actually stayed there.

I got a birthday card from my parents.

It's got underpants on. This has become a thing.

I've had people check in with me ever since that episode,

checking in on me and my undies.

I've still not heard from Roof, but I would love to hear from Roof.

I'm sure they're working on a prototype.

I heard next year you had a hat. It's underpants.

They're yellow.

This is now going to be a through line in your life

for the duration, Ryan.

I'm afraid it might be.

This is going to be what it is.

I was thinking, does it give you somewhere to tuck in your yellow bird?

So I went from San Bernardino to Redlands.

I saw the concert, which is great.

And then Tori texted me to say,

I sold a car to the lead singer eight months ago,

which was just crazy.

It is a small world and that guy gets around, right?

So what did you see? What was the lineup?

It was a band called the Ataris.

They were big in the 2000s.

They did a cover of Boys of Summer.

They're still touring.

And then I didn't stay for many songs,

and it was Alien and Farm, if you remember them.

Sure, yeah.

Sounds fun.

Yeah, they did a cover of a Michael Jackson song.

That's right.

That's right, yeah.

Smooth.

More importantly, how's that car?

Car is great and still needs to ride it in, right?

So you need to get to a thousand miles,

and I'm about 650 now.

And so a little bit more to go.

I had the top down until it was 109

and then decided it was too hot at that point.

But yeah, it's got good air conditioning for sure.

And you had the opportunity to test it.

I know, I heard it was a wild heat wave down there the last few days.

Hot, hot, hot.

But it was good. What have you guys been up to then?

I went to the Northwest Exotics.

It was the last event of the season for them up here,

which has grown into, like, if you're in the car world in Seattle.

It's a cool story because it was started by a 15-year-old

and it's really grown into a huge event.

And they do, like, they're now themed.

So this was, I think, Italian.

And there were some really cool cars.

And it was fun when we were walking up.

There was a reliable truck outside, which, you know,

especially coming off of Car Week,

that's always an indicator of, like, good stuff ahead.

You know, when reliable is there.

Yeah, I've been walking in.

There was a GT4, you know, with the carbon hood

and this amazing teal green that I've never seen before,

which was beautiful.

There was a Pujo 205 GTI.

There was an M1 that I actually got to see the owner

climb into and drive away, which is really cool.

You know, neat to see one of those

and even more fun to see it driven.

And then there was a 66-427 Cobra,

which I always, you know, it's near and dear to my heart.

There was a Pagani Utopia,

which is full carbon fiber, you know, with color over it.

I mean, that is, it was stunning.

It's really something to behold.

It's really a work of art.

And to get to see one in person

and be able to get up close to it was really special.

And it tells you really how much the event has grown

and how well regarded it is with what they're able to bring in.

There was a special edition Mustang GTD,

which is, they're calling it the Spirit of America edition.

And the livery celebrates the first time

that a Mustang won the Tour de France in 1964.

And I actually got to see that car in Le Mans in June.

So that was pretty fun to see it again.

And there was kind of an interscope style 935

with BBS fan wheels.

There was a 911 Carrera Cup car

that had been driven in the Great Britain series.

So that was unique.

And then what else?

There was a 296 GTB Ferrari

and a Viper Green GT4.

So we thought of Dan McGinnis.

And let's see our friends, McLaren.

There was a 98 M3 sedan that had been restored.

You know, and I always love this approach

because you get some really interesting examples.

But it was, they restored it with the idea of

if BMW was making an E36 M3 sedan now,

what would it look like?

Sure, yeah.

And it was beautiful.

And then there was an F1 car.

There was a 67 Ferrari.

Casual.

Yeah, no big deal.

And then there was a McLaren Senna,

which I have never seen one of those in person.

They have see-through doors.

Oh, yeah.

That's the best part.

Yeah.

So what happened with this 15-year-old?

Where is he now?

Or is she?

Actually, he's a friend of mine.

I'm kidding.

Yeah, you know him.

Yeah.

So it's Tom.

He's now 20.

Right.

I saw him yesterday.

Oh, you did?

So he studies in LA,

but he's about to do a semester in London.

But yeah, I mean,

I've been speaking to him for about six months or so.

And actually doing a bit of mentoring for him.

Oh, nice.

So, but really nice.

We should get him on the show when he's back from London.

Yeah, that sounds fun.

That'd be awesome.

You know, it's gone from a pretty small event

to obviously a significant event.

Yeah.

And the community around Seattle kind of,

you know, gathers around on it.

Right.

There was also a private event the night before

at a private car collection,

which looked outstanding.

It really did.

I was having a lot of FOMO afterwards.

Fear of missing out.

This place is on Mercer Island.

So it's on the island in between the two bridges.

So it was on the water and yeah, check out.

We can share some of the pictures.

I'm sure I can find some that we can share.

But, but yeah, I mean, someone who's,

who's now 20 and has seen the event grow and, you know,

it's Kiddos to Tom and the team around him.

So yeah.

What are you doing at 15?

Not this.

And I didn't,

I didn't realize until after the event,

but they had the designer of the Ferrari Enzo there.

He was at the event the night before.

And then he was at the show also.

And Dwight Nolten from Carpe Vium actually designed the art

for the poster for this, for this event.

And this event is notoriously like the,

like the bouncer at the gate, if you will,

is tough, right?

Like you've got to have some pretty good iron to get in, right?

It's definitely curated.

Yeah.

The center is in the mulberry colors, I think.

Is that right?

It was white, fluorescent orange and black.

Yeah.

Okay.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different car.

I think it's the Griot's car.

Could it be?

Oh, I think you're right.

Yeah.

So, yeah, there was sort of car royalty there as well.

The, I've sat in that M1.

Really?

Yeah.

So that M1 used to belong to race at Johnny Giacotto.

And it's now owned by BMW collector Peter Gleason

up in the Pacific Northwest.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, that makes sense.

Well, and it's such a nice venue because it's not enormous,

which also like it's sort of like,

even if they hadn't set out to curate it,

the space dictates that it needs to be,

you know, carefully curated.

So it's, it's like the perfect size because they can bring

in a lot of really cool cars, but it's not so big.

You can see everything if you want and you still have time

to talk to your friends.

And it's a beautiful, you know,

it's on the water, on like Washington.

And so it's like, it's practically perfect in every way.

Nice.

Speaking of events that take a lot of coordination, et cetera.

I think, Ryan, you didn't go to an event last weekend,

but you witnessed some of that challenges around coordination.

Yeah, yeah.

Shout out to the Morgan Adams Foundation Concord here in Denver.

A lot of friends went, I ended up not going.

Long story.

You know, call it burned out from cars.

Call it whatever you want.

I didn't go for the first time in several years.

Right.

It looked fantastic.

I didn't do it.

It said just kind of relaxed around here.

What's that like?

It was needed.

Although strangely, the Chinese tourists are back.

Have I, have I shared this with you?

Wait, do tell.

We were, this was a couple months ago.

We were in the living room and we noticed there was

a group of very obviously Chinese tourists, right?

You know, out in front of the house,

taking pictures and taking pictures of each other

in front of our house.

And you've both been to our house.

I would say it's a pretty typical, you know, modest brick,

you know, bungalow or whatever.

I mean, it's lovely.

And we thought, okay, well, this is interesting.

I don't know.

They like the house.

They could have been.

But this started, this actually, this is pre-underwear.

It's just pre-underwear story.

It's not because this was the man who created the roof

underwear.

No.

Yeah.

This was known worldwide.

Well, then it happened again or like,

there must be something to this.

Well, they came back.

I've looked into this.

This is a thing.

Dan, I Googled this on BBC.com.

Your people, they report a story.

Kidlington Chinese tourists attracted by

quote-unquote quiet houses.

Do you know, first of all,

do you know where Kidlington is in the UK?

Yes, it's in Oxford.

It's quite near where I grew up.

I live there.

Okay, you're kidding.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well, apparently this is a thing.

This article says residents were baffled by

coaches of sightseers arriving in

Kidlington, Oxfordshire, imposing for

photos in front of gardens and against

parked cars.

And at least in the UK,

apparently these tourists seek out

sort of prototypical British

abodes and they like to take pictures

and it's, you know,

it was a little weird.

It was a little like being in the zoo.

I'll be honest with you.

But I would, you know,

our house is again a pretty modest

place, but I think it probably is,

probably checks off a lot of the boxes

of like what an American house should

look like, right?

And so apparently we're on some

checklist or something.

I'd love to know where else they stop.

But rain shine.

I feel like I should go and sell

lemonade or something.

I was just thinking your daughter should

set up a lemonade stall.

I know.

They're hard to predict.

You know, they just pop up and then

they're gone and they've been

respectful.

I have no real issue with that.

I just have all the houses,

you know, in Denver.

Why mine?

Like, you know,

it seems kind of uneventful,

but good on them.

Yeah.

I feel like we should check.

We should check Google Maps.

Like, is there some, you know,

you go on and it's like a pin or

whatever.

And so is it like Kidlington tour

number 13?

I mean, as far as I know,

Elvis didn't live here.

I don't think.

That you know of.

Crimes of the century or anything

like that.

I just, you know,

I don't know.

We've got nice landscaping.

I spent a lot of time out there.

That's all I can.

Yeah.

That's a lovely.

That's what I did in lieu of

Morgan Adams this year.

But I look forward to going back

next year.

It looked like a hell of a show.

They apparently had more airplanes

this year.

So if you went to the show,

if you're listening, please let us

know.

But great event.

They're really expanding their

reach.

They're doing a,

the concourse always on a set

on a Saturday evening.

They're doing an event on Sunday

at the Polo Grounds,

which I didn't even know was a

thing here in Denver.

So just,

just when you think your life is

good, there's,

you find out that there's a whole

other tier.

But I guess it was a,

it was a great event.

So anyway,

next year, next year.

Thinking about those people that

you heard at Quail saying,

well,

at least we know we're worth

the same amount as everybody

else here.

I still think about that.

That was,

that was something.

Yeah.

But it got me thinking,

you know,

just even so this relatively

local event,

no, they,

they get a lot from all over and

they get a lot of people going

back East after car week.

But what,

what a logistical sort of

just achievement it is.

And it got me really thinking

about car week in the Quail

and pebble and not just those,

but the auction houses.

You know,

and I think we might be having

someone from one of the auction

houses joining us as soon who

maybe can shed some light on

that.

But just,

just again,

you talked about the reliable

carriers,

getting the cars in,

selling the tickets,

the vendors,

you know,

not imagine that sort of stuff.

That's the stuff that really

impresses me.

Right.

Like that's the stuff that I

know I can't do.

And I don't know,

maybe it's mid-site.

I think you're right.

Even,

you know,

I think if you haven't been

involved in putting an event on

like that,

you go like,

oh,

we just want to do like a

simple little car show.

And then especially when it

starts to scale up,

I mean,

I know,

you know,

my family is involved with the

Cobra Club in Orange County

and they do a car show every year

to benefit the charity that

they've chosen that year.

And they get between

75 and 85 cars.

So it's not

enormous,

especially when you compare it

to some of the car week

events.

But having seen the

back end of that,

it is a lot of work.

So I can only imagine

that's exponentially more,

you know,

obviously the bigger you get,

like,

it's a lot of effort.

I could barely organize a

wedding,

you know,

close to many years ago.

And there's no cars involved.

No,

I just,

all the moving parts,

I just,

I guess I never really had an

appreciation for that.

It really hit me this year

and it's just fascinated by it.

Yeah.

Loved to,

you know,

get a peek behind that curtain,

I guess.

And to get someone on,

don't we,

a lot of things.

And there's at least

one car manufacturer

that recognizes the high

quality of journalism

coming from Mr.

Ryan Barkey.

You got a very polite note,

I understand,

from a certain car manufacturer.

You're kind of saying that

or at least their PR,

you know,

yeah,

did this article for auto blog

about the G90,

which we've talked about ad nauseam.

I really like the car,

but I struggled a little bit,

you know,

with who's this car for,

right?

Right.

Short of a baller on a,

short of a baller on a budget

or what have you,

but you know,

got a really nice note from them,

basically extending

all the graces moving forward.

So you may be hearing more

about Genesis cars,

that car show,

but be called

that Genesis car show.

I was going to say,

that car show,

that car show perpetually

brought to you by Genesis,

here on out.

Thank you.

Sheffield watches, of course.

And Sheffield watches.

Yeah.

But thanks for mentioning that.

Yeah.

That was,

that was,

that was fun and just had

an article in auto blog

about car week,

sort of my impressions

and getting older

and the importance of friends

and all that.

So if you haven't checked

it out, please,

please do have had some

very nice responses from

people.

I think it resonated with

a lot of other people

as well.

Thank you.

It's great as always.

So definitely go check it out.

Thanks.

And I think a couple

of the shows have reached out

to you just to acknowledge

that piece as well.

Right.

So yeah,

that's been fantastic.

Thank you,

especially Pebble

and also Concorso Italiano.

So yeah,

maybe we'll have them

on the show in time too.

Let's do it.

Yeah.

News items.

Firstly,

that all orange

McLaren collection is sold

to a private buyer.

Did you guys see that?

I did.

Dan, the parents sent me

that article.

This is the reach

that this thing has had.

So yeah.

Right.

Your parents are on top of it.

Well,

and isn't that interesting

that sort of the big

collections that have been

the topics of discussion?

We had the white

collection and now we've

had the

autumn orange metallic

McLaren collection.

What would your colors be?

If you had a collection,

it was one color.

First thing that comes to

mind.

What are you doing?

Astoral blue.

Okay.

It's a BMW color,

isn't it?

Yeah.

That was the

the M exclusive

color blue

for the E36.

Yes.

Not well.

Every time I see it,

I'm like, yes.

Yeah.

I think I would go

for like

either a British

racing green

or, you know,

an Irish green.

Yeah.

Also a good choice.

Yeah.

And then Brian.

We call it, say,

brown,

but I think it would either be

mirror blue

or Brewster green.

Shout out to our

friend with the Brewster green

GT fork that I'm very

envious of.

Right.

Yeah.

So this was

just on this.

This was 19 McLarens.

The majority of which

were,

I think it was

the last of each model.

It also included a McLaren F1.

Sounds right.

And it's sold as a

full package.

So very similar to

there was a Bernie

Equiston collection of Formula One cars.

They sold as a

complete package.

And this has as well.

And it's interesting

because someone I know

was looking at

just the McLaren F1

from that collection.

And apparently there are

seven McLaren F1s

for sale right now.

Really?

Apparently.

And this was

kind of the one to have

because of its uniqueness,

in fact, it was orange, etc.

But there was no way

that they were going to

separate that from the rest.

So you literally

bought a McLaren F1

and got the rest of the cars,

right?

If that was the way to do it.

What's the going price

on an F1 right now, Dan?

I think it's

mid-twenties.

It depends.

There's a few out there

that have been crashed a lot.

Yeah.

And they still get good money.

Mr. Bean.

Yeah.

Right.

Mr. Bean.

Right.

And also

there's a lot of people

out there that have

bought a McLaren F1

for sale at the same time.

Like that's pretty

Yeah.

That's a lot, right?

It feels like a moment in time.

Yeah.

I think they made,

I think it was just under

a hundred.

Okay.

In total.

Okay.

Yeah.

I would say.

The blue.

Yeah.

So that's 7%

that's up there.

Yeah.

If you got an F1,

I don't know all the colors

or whatever,

but obviously you've seen

silver, you've seen black.

I've seen orange.

I don't know what else is

out there.

Yellow.

Yeah, right.

What are you going for?

I think blue.

Yeah.

That's kind of like

Maybe it has a BMW

powered engine doesn't it?

So you could have

Esterel blue.

There you go.

I wouldn't even have to

for it, right? Yeah. Just need the 25 mil. Yeah. I like the orange orange one for me. Yeah.

You know, I'm not picky. Any. I mean, one in primer. Right. Well, that's like, we've all

learned, you know, when you're looking for these specialty cars and they're pre-owned,

you can't be too picky about the colors. Bad car facts.

It doesn't matter, does it? No. I think you make peace with the color.

Nice. Nice. That's pretty wild. I thought it was interesting they had Tom Hartley handle,

he had done the Bernie Eccleston collection, and then he handled this as well, and he seems to be

the authority. Yeah. If you have a giant collection like that, he's your man. Yeah.

It's funny how that works out right. Like certain sellers sort of, they corner a market of a

certain car. Merit partners, right? 4.0 GT3 RS is, for example, right? There we go.

But it's also weird because in Kissimmee in a few weeks time, there is a 250 GTO going up at a

Meekum auction. Oh, interesting. So Meekum's really stepping up. Yeah. I mean, they obviously

had the Jerry Karl, the Jerry Seinfeld Karl last year. Yeah. Yeah. We went to the Meekum auction,

or at least I did. Either of you go to the Meekum auction? Oh. Okay. I went for the very first

time. And let me tell you, it was an event I paid to get in, paid 30 bucks to get in.

The auctions were done for the day. I tried the whole media thing and they won't have

it. So I paid 30 bucks. I have never seen such a diversity in cars at one auction. And I think

they had something like 900 cars on auction there. And there was everything from, I mean,

you know, a beaten down Monte Carlo SS, right? Michael Assasa, where are you? To a 250 GTO,

right? And it was a white one. And that must be the same one. So there must be

must be parading it around before they actually sell the thing. That makes sense.

That's a range, folks. It's a range on something else. When they say there's something for everyone,

they mean it. Yeah. It's interesting because that car, that 250 GTO, has been paraded around

for over a year. I think it was at the RetroMobile last year, Lindsay, in Europe.

It's possible. That show is so enormous it's possible. It was there and I didn't see it.

But it's a Seattle car. Interesting. Is that the one that was at Classics on the Green?

Yes. Okay. Then I've seen it. And it's one of the very few that are actually right hand drive as

well. That's that's that's that's right. Also interestingly, big placard in front of it,

cars never been restored untouched. But not the original paint, not the original engine.

Not this whole list of things that seem to, I guess, contradict the claim.

I'll have to check my notes. Unrestored, but things have been altered along the way.

That's a lot of cars. But the 250 GTO just as a thing is really something to behold,

whether it's that one or the one we happen to see in the paddock at Laguna Seca. I mean,

it is, when you see one in the flesh, yeah, the prices kind of make sense. I mean,

they're, they're just, there's something to behold there. There are, they're just

fantastic, just fantastic. They just have that right shape. They're amazing.

Well, there's some cars that just sort of stop you in your tracks and that is one of them.

That is one of them. Yeah. Yeah. But there are nicer ones than that white one at Meekum,

I'm just telling you. Yeah.

So you're going to hold out for a nicer one, Ryan, is that what we're hearing?

Yeah, that in the F1. I'm going to give everybody else a crack at this one and I'll

wait. Do the right thing. Yeah. Always do the right thing. Great movie.

Very good. I thought I would lay down a bit of a challenge for you guys this week.

Yes. And it's inspired slightly by RM again. I think we should be sponsored by RM are selling a

Ayrton Senna road car. It's a McLaren, a Mercedes 190 with the Cosworth engine.

Yeah. There's a neat car. But the interesting story behind it is that this car in particular,

so early on Ayrton Senna wasn't a known quantity, wasn't a known driver. And there was a race in

Germany where Mercedes put everyone in the same model of car, a 190 Mercedes race car. And you

had people like Nicky Lauder and other famous drivers, Alan Prost, and this young guy Ayrton

Senna turned up and he won the race. So he beat all these peers in cars that were all

in theory identical, but he wasn't a name at the time. And he bought this car and he picks it up

from the factory. So with that in mind, I thought, well, why don't we match each other to cars,

either real or fake, but you want the car and someone famous who's owned the car.

Right. Yeah. Yeah.

What's the estimate on that car, by the way? It was quite high.

I think it's like 350. Is that what it is? Okay. Okay.

As in 350,000. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, compared to the F1, that feels like a real bargain.

Yeah. Talk about provenance though. Yeah. Especially with that provenance. That's

pretty remarkable. I mean, there can't be many road cars that Senna had that, you know,

go up sale. I didn't think, yeah. So, you know, maybe that's a bargain.

But what I thought I might get you guys to do is suggest cars for each other.

What is the car and who was the famous owner? So I don't know if you guys have been thinking about

this. I have. A little bit. I didn't know it could be fake though. I thought it had to be real.

So I'm operating in reality. I hope for real ones, but I'm giving you a get out of jail card.

Or you can just go like, just kidding. Yeah. So Lindsay, what are you going to buy for Ryan?

Okay. So for Ryan, I have picked up the 917 Steve McQueen Seinfeld car. Wow.

Oh, you think way too highly of me. Wow. Happy new birthday. That would be amazing.

Right there from Lindsay on Ryan. Wow. I want to reach these options in a minute.

I feel really bad about what I picked up for you. That would be incredible. Yeah. That's

let's make it happen. Lindsay. Yeah. Hey, that's very nice. So what did you go for me, Lindsay?

So for you, better be than a night better be better than a 917. Yeah. So yours comes with a bit

of a fantasy life that I've created for you. And this is where you now have a second home

in England and you keep a car there. Oh, very good. So what I went for was a 1964

Alfa Romeo Julius Spider that was owned by Steve Cougan. Very good. So he's the act to come comedian,

right? Right. And he was in Tropic Thunder, not at the museum. He's a comedian from the UK. So

that just that felt very fitting, especially for this, you know, international life that you

lead. Love it. So I get the house and the car, right? Right. I've created like a whole

second, like you just you split your time now. Yeah, very good. I like that. I like that, Ryan.

You are welcome. You do own a house in England, right? You have a second home, which is that

your parents live there. Right. And the inheritance doesn't continue. Right. And as they are still

with us, details. But a really early 90s Mondeo doesn't really cut it.

So close. Yeah. Anyway, Ryan, can you top that? Yeah, can I top that? So Dan,

so I was very impressed last year at the quail when they had the Queen's Land Rover collection

because the Queen, as you know, has a certain shade. You talk about paid to sample. You talk

about special wishes. I mean, a queen can get away with anything. And she has this very

special color. What would you call it? Sort of like a Claret burgundy. Yeah, it's burgundy,

but it's not much darker, right? Or that much like it's special. It seems special. And she's got

some great stuff, right? She has incredible. I mean, those were those were my favorite

class at Pebble last year. I agree. I spent more time there. It took more pictures. Well,

I would love to give Dan, you know, his choice of any of the Queen's Land Rovers.

I just think it seems appropriate. You got to leave that little crest. What did they call that

little crest by order of the coat of arms? Yeah, coat of arms or whatever, you know, like you

see when you walk into, you know, yeah, the Royal Seal of Approval. That's right. So like when

you walk into your, your, your, your, you know, your favorite tobaccoist or your right, whatever

they've got or tip tree jam, which you guys would call, you know, you could you call it

Jell-O, don't you jam? You bread it on bread. Yeah, we call it jam or jelly with chunks. Yeah,

there we go. The tip tree jelly would be an equivalent, but that's got the seal of approval.

I think Hendrik Jinn has the approval. Who is their underwear provider?

Yeah, I think it's up for negotiations right now. Anyway, I just, I love those cars.

You're our resident Brit. It seemed to work. Now I guess I'll then, you know, tilt the question to

you, Dan, of those cars, which one would appeal? Would it be an older car, something newer?

Would it be one of the sort of the Pope Mobile type, you know,

units or what, what, what strikes your fancy? You were there.

Well, it was interesting because during the Second World War, I believe she would,

she took on duties driving a Land Driver in the likes of a nursing wing or something.

But I think I would probably want the newest Range Driver that she had.

Well, and what an amazing two car solution. You have that and then this Alfa Romeo from

Steve Coogan and you're good to go. Yeah, what a win, what a win.

Give all your bases coverage. That's right, that's right.

So Lindsay, I'm now curious of what Ryan's going to use.

We all know Lindsay is a Shelby fan, right? True.

And we also know that you're a truck gal. Yes.

So, you know, what fits both of those? And of course, you've got your Shelby Dodge Dakota.

At least that's what I was going to choose for you. And then I found out that it really

wasn't very fast. It had a V8, but it was 172 horsepower, I think 175 horsepower.

Which is not much for a heavy car.

No, no, zero to 60 time of nine and a half seconds and a quarter mile of 15.6.

So that does not work for you. So, you know, you have time to make an appointment to get

on the freeway there. Exactly. Well, I thought if it was the convertible version,

do you remember the Dakota convertible, the Dodge Dakota, it was a drop top?

I had, so there was like an older kid. It was an older kid, my neighborhood had one,

and he was the coolest. And I don't think they made that many of them.

Was he though?

I was going to say, don't worry, I've got a good car for you.

He was the coolest guy in Indianapolis in 1990. Okay, let's say that.

But, so I have a better car for you. You know, I'm involved with the Colorado Grand,

and I put the car descriptions together. And I was surprised and also thought it was

very cool to see a car that Jim Hall and Carol Shelby owned.

It was delivered to their dealership, I think, in Texas. It's a 57 Maserati 250S, a very special car.

And I think that's more a set of wheels that befits a lady like yourself, Lindsay.

I could get on board with that.

Also a little quicker than 16 seconds, a quarter mile.

We have witnessed Ryan getting out of jail. So, Ellen's at the moment.

I'd like to immediately update my answer.

Yeah, unless you're thinking on his feet, which you could want to be doing.

Catch flies with honey, right? Not vinegar, right, as they say.

Otherwise, I think Lindsay was driving a dodge to go down.

I mean, where's Shelby? I want to say anything with Shelby on the side was cool,

but then that was also the era of the Shelby, like the duster or whatever,

right? The Plymouth, the little four door.

You know, that was from peak years for Shelby, so.

He was playing a little fast to lose with the licensing there.

What was the, I've always wanted to drive that. Is it a G L H?

Yeah, it goes like hell. Yeah. That that that does have an appeal to me.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That's a car. I have not, not yet.

No, those accepted into the Shelby community because I feel like that.

Those are kind of cool.

I mean, I'm sure they I think that's, you know, there's something for everybody

and there's there's somebody for every car. That's what we love about the car world.

Yeah. Who made them dodge? Was it?

Yeah, it was a dodge. It was based on the Omni, I think, right?

Yeah, which was kind of this four door.

And I don't think it was maybe Mitsubishi, but I could be wrong.

But it was that kind of it was an import fighter, right?

And I think that it was a Plymouth horizon slash dodge Omni.

And they again, talk about Indianapolis, they were everywhere, right?

That was kind of the that was a very popular vehicle financed at, you know,

19% or something, I'm sure.

But but, you know, the standard car was really nothing to write home about.

But there was the Shelby and it was the goes like hell.

And I think it had a turbo four cylinder that actually put out some serious power.

I think that that car was in the fives to 60.

And this was like 1989. Where's our fact checkered in?

Yeah, we've given them our research.

I think that was like a ridiculously fast car for the time.

And yeah, I think you're right.

I don't know.

I don't know that much about that era.

But I remember hearing that those like as maligned as they often are,

like actually were relatively quick.

I can, you know, all things considered through a turbo and anything.

I think it was a turbo Mitsubishi engine is what that was.

I think it may have been the same motor that was another cars.

Maybe the God, I don't know.

There was a turbo Lebaron at the time.

There was the was the sports car that conquest, maybe it was in the conquest

in the Mitsubishi Starion.

But I could be wrong.

What does our intern come up with then?

Well, I've given them the night off.

But why don't our viewers let us know?

Why don't our viewers let us know?

And also, if anyone's got one of those cars, let us know because it's one.

I think we need to drive one.

I mean, listen, any time we can work in a Starion into an episode,

like we're a little money ahead.

That's a win.

So just to recap.

So, Ryan, the two cars you went for were one of the Queen's Landrovers.

You take your pick.

Yep.

And a 57 Mazurati 250S owned by Carol Shelby and Jim Hall.

Cool.

And then I'm driving cheaper than a McLean F1.

Yeah, that's true.

Well, probably only just right.

Based on provenance and everything else.

Lindsay's currently, sorry, Ryan's currently got the 917 Porsche.

Yep.

And he's waiting to hear from me.

But I'll start with you, Lindsay.

So the car I was thinking of, and I was trying not to stereotype, but...

Too late.

No, no, I didn't go Carol Shelby.

I didn't go Ford.

I didn't go Cobra.

I thought what would be a cool car for Lindsay to drive around in?

Maybe more in the California lifestyle than the Washington.

But that Janice Joplin Porsche, was it a Speedster?

Oh, yeah.

Is it a 356?

Yeah.

Well, I think she had some random people do the paint job on it.

Yeah.

It looks like there were some random people that did the paint job.

Yeah.

But it's now an iconic Porsche.

Yeah, it is.

Yeah.

I could just be cruising on PCH with the wind in my hair.

Exactly.

Driving the art mobile.

What's the story with that?

Because she sung up very famously, sung about being a Mercedes,

wanting Mercedes, right?

Her friends all drive Porsches.

Right.

She needs American wind.

She finally joined the club.

It happens to all of us.

Happens to the best of us.

Where we go.

And before you know it, it's a all Porsche podcast.

Here we are.

Just need to get that sponsorship in place, don't we?

That's right.

And we mentioned this to the fourth member of the group.

Michael.

And he doesn't own a Porsche.

But his dog is called Porsche.

Was that right?

That's right.

So that counts.

We will accept that as an answer.

We all own Porsches.

So I was looking and thinking about for you.

And I started with the car and then looked to see

who the famous owners were.

And the first famous owner of one of these cars

was Justin Bieber.

But I just thought let's level it up a little bit.

So the second owner I found of one of these cars

was Daniel Craig.

So James Bond.

And he owned a or maybe still owns,

but he owned a classic Defender.

So I thought yeah.

Like I've always owned one.

Owned by Daniel Craig is pretty cool.

And I'm going to change your car, Dan, to a DB5.

Nice.

Revolving number plates.

That's right.

Yeah.

So we ended up with some pretty unique collections of boys.

Yeah.

I think Ryan gets to sell his and retire.

But what are we really driving?

Right?

At the end of the day, we all have a Porsche.

Yeah.

That's true.

Yeah.

Very true.

Something to those Porsches.

Well, we all have the same engine as well, don't we?

I know.

Yeah.

It's a bit crazy.

And my mind's detuned compared to both of yours, but.

Well, you've got more.

You've got two tenths of a liter more than Lindsay.

I thought Lindsay was the four-liter as well, no?

3.8.

You've got the 16, Lindsay?

Yeah.

A fine car.

Many would argue a better car than the 718.

And better noise, I think.

Yeah.

That's what I hear.

I mean, it sounds amazing, but my example is also straight pipes.

So.

Oh, there we go.

That's right.

Yeah, if you're new to the show.

Yeah, Ryan has experienced it in person.

If you're new to the show, yeah.

Yeah, Lindsay and Tori brought that car to my house on the way back from buying it.

And it was at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Missouri.

And he drove that thing, buckets and all, right, to Seattle.

We did.

Yeah.

2,000, just under 2,000 miles.

Yeah.

That was our first road trip together.

And I think since then, we've done four more road trips.

Which is awesome.

Yeah.

If you made that trip, you'll be together forever.

But that thing sounded epic.

But I think the whole block kind of stood straight.

That was amazing.

Amazing.

Yeah.

Well, and I can now say that the carbon buckets are the road trip seats because

they were so comfortable.

And I actually took a nap in them at one point.

So I'm here to just prove all the carbon bucket naysayers.

Buckets and straight pipes and you're able to sleep.

Right?

Yeah.

And you, yeah.

It's like, you know you're in the right place.

Is that the title for the show?

Buckets and straight pipes and you're still able to sleep?

There you go.

Could be.

Or it could be Chinese tourists.

Kid LinkedIn tour.

There were so many jokes I wanted to make there.

I just held them in.

Oh, and we are politically correct show.

It's nothing else.

Your restraint is noted and applauded.

Plus China's a big market for push.

Very true.

And roof pants.

I also was looking on the internet because I was a little bit bored this week

and found five cars that you may not know have Corvette engines.

Well, I wondered if you guys could name any of them.

So this could be from different generations.

It's not necessarily current Corvette engines.

I think this group will get one.

Well, I've got one.

And that's the Impala SS built on the 90 and on Caprice classic, right?

Yeah, I do believe that that was, was it the L 98 or the LT 1?

What was, what was that engine?

But I believe it had one and it was D2.

Was that the one that they did in partnership with Holden?

The SS.

No, that was later.

I'm talking about like the 1994, 95, 96 era.

I remember I mentioned this before in the show was living in Chicago at the time

and there was a taxi.

There was a yellow cab that was an Impala SS,

which I thought was just the coolest thing ever.

But that I do believe is one.

Is that one?

Does that check off one box day?

It wasn't on the list.

But I think I'm now going to check with the research department

who decided to come back to work.

The only one that I was certain about isn't on the list.

All right.

But I think Lindsay, to your point, I think there was then one.

Malibu.

It was just the SS.

Yeah, it was the order.

Yeah, it's just the SS.

Right.

So the Impala SS did.

It had the LT-1 5.7 V8.

Right.

So that was the 90 mid-90s.

Okay.

Thank God.

Yeah.

What else?

Well done, Ryan.

What about the Holden-based car?

Like the 2000 and the B2012?

2015?

I don't know.

If it was a Holden, would it be a Minara?

Well, they just called the SS.

Yeah, they didn't sell it in any other form in the States.

It was an Australian car.

I think it was the same thing as the Pontiac G8 maybe?

It's a Pontiac G8 in there.

And then, of course, there was the GTO, the Pontiac G2,

the Tudor, a few years before that.

But that's kind of where I end.

Several old performance cars used over engines.

Yeah.

So the Commodore SS and the Minara, Ryan.

That was the base for the, I think, this.

This is where we need Michael Assasa.

This is his bread and butter.

This is his world.

He's owned Typhoons, Cyclones.

He picked me up at Car Week in a, it was a Cadillac.

It was an STS.

Do you remember those with the North Star?

It's the only North Star I think.

Oh my gosh.

Managing to speeding ticket on the way to Car Week.

So did he?

Yeah.

Five over.

Go talk to your buddies at the CHP.

They were out in force.

I had friends that got done on the way back to LA as well.

I think we need to talk to Slash Gear because I think we found

three or four cars that aren't on their list.

So it should be maybe 10 cars.

You didn't know that had Corvette engines.

Should we guess a couple more at least?

There's one I don't think you'll ever get,

but I think Lindsey probably got a couple

or at least one that she may.

Are they all cars?

One is an SUV.

So that might have.

Ah, okay.

Okay.

Is it one of the Escalades?

It is.

It's the Cadillac Escalade.

Oh, well done.

The newer one, right?

Yes.

Okay.

The V-spec.

Oh, okay.

Right on.

The V-spec.

Oh, and also the Cadillac, the,

is it the ATSV or the CTSV or something

along those lines?

You mean the Blackwing?

The Blackwing.

Yeah, that's the current, yeah.

Yeah, CTS.

But that was the older.

I'm now checking the facts.

Get that assistant back to their desk.

Come on.

Right.

Yes.

So the CTSV or Blackwing.

There you go.

Okay.

I'm going to like just go through this.

Yeah, please do because it's a great radio.

Yeah.

I'm just going to say this right here.

Can you go our way through?

Yeah.

When you say, oh, yeah, yeah, that was, we knew that.

So here are the ones, firstly, the first one,

I don't think you guys would have got.

Okay.

Which is the Buick Roadmaster Estate.

Yeah.

So our friends, the Diestes, John, Todd, and Lewis

spotted one at Car Week.

And they talked about it on their podcast on First Dibs.

Took way too many pictures of the thing.

Had wood on the sides.

Had safari windows at the top.

That thing was epic.

That thing would lay down 11s.

That thing was amazing.

Yeah.

Those were cool.

Was it the last version of the Roadmaster?

Mid 90s?

So this was, yeah, 94 to 96.

Yeah.

So you're literally hiding a cool vet under that estate body.

That's cool.

Yeah.

So the next one is a pickup truck that turns into a convertible.

And it's the Chevrolet SSR.

I didn't know that had a Corvette-derived engine, though.

Yeah.

No kidding.

Yeah, 5.3-litre V8.

Is that like a stooped-up version of the Avalanche?

Because I think that was...

No, this was the rounded one.

The retro, the Jumeroth round headlights look like a 50s truck.

Oh, yes.

Yeah.

I guess I didn't realize that those had so much engine.

Okay, huh.

Yeah.

We've talked about the Cadillac.

Yeah.

The next one is the Saab 97X Aero.

So that is the Blazer, the Trail Blazer, derived.

But again, I didn't...

I knew that that was extra.

I didn't know that was Corvette-based.

And I think they made all of 22 of those, Dan, if I'm not mistaken.

That was an exceptionally rare car.

Yeah.

Had the C6 engine in it.

No idea.

I knew somebody that had one,

but I didn't realize they had a Corvette engine.

And that car was sub six seconds to 60.

No kidding.

Huh.

And it's the only Swedish car to ever have a Corvette engine.

I'm not going to argue that.

Like that track.

I promise, I am fun at parties.

Well, this is fascinating.

By the way, I had a Bush die in the yard,

and I had to replace it today.

And I had our front of the show, Matthew Fitzpatrick,

architect here in the neighborhood,

lover of the cars of the north,

I think as we've referred to him in the past.

He got a 13,000 mile, 2003 Volvo cross country.

It was owned by a family member on the east coast.

He paid two grand, he got the car for free,

paid two grand to have it shipped here to Colorado.

He spent $1,400 on timing belts and an oil change.

The thing is amazing.

It was like peak Volvo.

I, we went to the hardware store in the garden center

to pick up the stuff I needed for this thing.

And I felt bad putting this lilac bush in the back

because the car was so nice, right?

Really?

You forget what a great era of car those Volvos were.

You know, I had a 2000 or 2001 S40,

but this was like, this was, this was the big,

the big Volvo and it was fantastic.

The ride was amazing.

I'm sure it's not been touched in all these years.

This car is 22 years old, right?

In the most amazing seats I've sat in, in a long time.

I want that era of Volvo back.

It was just, it was, it was great.

It was fantastic and it's got 3,400.

Sounds like you're the first on the list, are you?

I'm telling you, that's the thing.

I used to talk about, I want a little pickup truck or something.

No, give me an old Volvo wagon with 13,000 miles.

That's the, that's the move.

You found your holy grail.

What a thing.

I think it was Brock Yates in an old car and driver

referred to the car right before that, the V70.

And he called it very famously,

a goddamn paradigm of automotive design.

And I get it.

That thing was just, it was, it was amazing.

I feel like we've slid downhill since that car.

I kind of feel like you need to do an auto blog article on that car.

I think that's a great, a great idea.

That's a great idea.

Yeah, do it at Christmas, put a Christmas tree on the roof for the photos.

That's right, that's right.

And you've got a, you know, the perfect Christmas car.

That's right.

Nobody would do like, you could create Christmas cards from it

and send them out to your friends.

It'd be amazing, it'd be amazing.

Matthew's looking for the third row seat.

It didn't come with the third row seat.

So apparently they're, they're hot on the second game market.

That's in the next one.

Wow.

Anyway.

So the final car on the list, which again never came to the UK,

is a Pontiac Solstice Mallet.

Does that ring any bells with anyone?

It does not.

That was an aftermarket thing.

So it was a company called Mallet.

I remember again, car and driver reading about this,

where they basically put the engine into the car.

It was not produced by Chevy or GM or whatever.

It was not a production.

I don't believe.

Yeah.

You remember those, right?

Yeah.

It says aftermarket conversion.

Yes.

There was that.

There was the Saturn.

Was it the, not the Ion.

It was the Saturn sky, I believe,

and they made one called the Redline, which was a turbo,

but it was not the Corvette engine.

But Dan, that was based, I think, on a Lotus car.

Very strangely.

Wasn't the Elise, you know, the Exige or anything like that.

It was a Lotus that they also, I think,

turned into a Vauxhall in Europe, which was a hot ticket item.

We had the, yeah.

We had the Vauxhall X something 220.

It was X.

I think that was that.

I think so.

That was the same.

And I think it was Lotus engineered.

I don't think there was a Lotus.

Okay.

Maybe that's what it was.

Yeah.

It was an odd thing, but it's turbo.

Super quick in turbo form and neat, neat things.

So, but now that was one of those thousand

tuner companies you'd read about back in the day, right?

There's Lingenfelter and all these companies,

I think a few of them are still around.

Callaway Corvette, do you remember Callaway?

Callaway, yes.

Those were so cool.

The Hammer, I think it was.

I think they co-opted the AMG name.

But that was a wild era of hugely powerful cars

that would do zero to 60 in like six seconds,

but they were super, super cool at the time.

I mean, it doesn't measure up to a Shelby Dodge Dakota,

but, you know.

It's all relative.

Who's counting?

But then I give you a Maserati, so we're good.

You did.

I'll take both.

So, what have we got coming up, folks?

Is there much, Ryan, I think you're going to be

quite busy in the near future on you?

Yeah.

Can't wait.

I think the one week each year that even,

that's even a better time than car weekend,

that's the Colorado Grand.

So, we take off for that in about a week and a half.

Can't wait.

You know, Michael and I were talking earlier

Mercedes-Benz brings in a fleet of AMGs for us

who are involved to drive for the week and to hand off

to people whose cars might break down and that kind of thing.

And we were sort of waiting the AMG models

that we know are going to be delivered,

like sort of fighting over the good AMGs.

It's going to be a great week.

What is the most popular then?

What's the top AMG you want to drive?

There's always a GT or two, AMG GT and SL, right?

I don't think there's one this year,

but last year there was a G63, right?

And this amazing green color was awesome

with this sort of Brabis style like dish wheels,

which was cool.

I think the one we don't want,

I think the one that I'll probably,

well, I gladly have it,

but I think the car that's going to stay on the

transporter most of the week is the CLA based.

I think the CLA 45.

That will probably be the one that people don't fight over.

But it's going to be a great week.

It's going to be fantastic.

The people are amazing.

The cars are amazing.

I'll definitely have some dispatches from the field

after the fact.

And I just can't wait.

It's just such a wonderful event.

And that's what I'll be up to.

But we've got one more show before that.

Can we tease who's going to be on next week's show?

Let's do it.

So if you're all listening,

probably are familiar with Nelu cars.

Nelu is this amazing hypercar that's been developed.

I'm going to get his last name wrong.

But Sasha is his first name.

We've become friendly with him at some of the events and stuff.

And he designed, I think it was the designer.

One of the designers behind the Bugatti Chiron

and was involved with Lamborghini for a long time and stuff.

And this is his personal.

This is his passion project.

And very, very excited to speak with him next week.

So make sure you tune in.

So what about you guys?

Ride trips.

Lindsay, any ride trips coming up?

No, we just finished Reno to Seattle.

So I think we're staying put.

Maybe just do a little cruise

where we start and end in the same place.

An A to A, if you will.

Yeah, exactly.

Something new and different just for the sake of driving.

Nice.

Yeah.

What about you, Dan?

I need to get more miles on the Bugster.

So we're coming up to a bank holiday.

I guess you guys just call it holiday weekend.

We call it a bank holiday weekend.

But so I've got to work Sunday,

but Monday, maybe I'll go up to Newcombe's Ranch.

And yeah, nice, nice.

We've got a coin to name for this,

this 1,000 mile braking period for Porsches, right?

Because it's, I want to call it like the struggles

or the troubles or something.

Because you just, all you want to do is just like, just go.

And you can't.

Yeah, the neutered zone.

Yeah, that's also a good show.

Yeah.

That'll get some coins.

I'm also not good, right?

Because I tend to buy these cars

that need these braking periods

and then they get it through the braking periods

and then I sell the car.

No, please don't.

I need to make sure I don't do that this time.

Dan, and Lindsay, you can attest,

I mean, the car behind me,

I mean, this is a car I'll have forever.

I think you're going to fall in love with this thing.

It is just such an inherently good and balanced car,

exactly as fast as you want it to be and no more, no less.

I think you're going to fall in love with it.

I think it's going to be the best car you've ever owned.

And I think you'll have it forever, so.

Nice.

Yeah, they're definitely, they're like the best of all,

best of all the worlds in so many ways.

So I'm excited for you to have more like

real adventures without having to think about

like the braking period.

Yeah, or San Bernardino.

I don't think it's an accident that the three of us

have basically ended up with the same car, right?

No, it's so funny, right?

It's crazy, isn't it?

It's been crazy.

Yeah, I think that says even more about the car,

like you said Ryan, that it wasn't planned

and that's just what we've all gravitated to.

I think we also need to check in

on our good friend John Deusty at some point

because he sent me some pictures midweek

and it was of a trade-in that he'd received

and with a should I do it.

Now, is this the one that they talked about on their show

where I think Justin had been pushing him

and a lot of people had been pushing him

and he said on the show, I'm convinced.

And I'm like, wait, so what does this mean?

The back seats have two like wooden tables that fold down.

Yeah, so he said they had figured out.

So Lauren's going to ride in the back.

She's going to take the luxury seat

and they're promoting, demoting Lewis to the front seat,

which doesn't have the luxury, you know, accoutre-mâ.

Yeah, so this was a Jaguar.

So yeah, I guess it's going through the shop

to just see what it needs doing,

but it sounds like it's this old done deal.

Watch the space in the Deusty garage.

Yeah, none of that new Jaguar craft.

This is a real Jaguar, right, Dan?

Right, well, it's electric bullshit.

We should do a shout out to the winner

of our competition from last week.

So by way of a reminder,

we have this partnership with Sheffield Watches.

And as part of that every month,

we have one or two watches,

which we were able to give away in competition style.

And for the first one,

what we wanted to do was make it the first person to respond.

The first watch we've ever given away,

the first person to respond.

And I did see some feedback from people that,

oh, it's not fair.

And it's like, well, there'll be more chances.

Keep listening.

Keep playing.

But Dave, and he is Radar Dave on Instagram,

will be receiving a Sheffield Watch in the very near future.

So congratulations to you.

Thanks for listening.

I know you're a fellow Brit as well.

So not that there's any inside baseball,

but it's great that us Brits are getting the watches from Sheffield.

He picked out a good one too.

He picked out the rally, which is a good one.

And that's what you can do.

You can pick out whichever one that's available that you want.

So he chose well.

He's got excellent taste.

Can't believe he didn't go for the pink one.

Dave is also a big fan of the band Madness,

which extra points there.

So, you know, I can tell by that alone, he's a good dude.

Yeah.

I mean, more than a big fan,

he's friends with one of the band members.

That's right.

I think it's the guitarist.

Yeah.

So if anyone wants Madness tickets, he can hook you up.

Dave's your man.

You might have to go with him.

I do.

You have to stand on the side of the stage,

right, which wouldn't suck.

So what are your favorite Madness songs?

Do either of you have a favorite Madness song?

I do not.

Growing up, Our House was just a favor.

I thought that it sounded like nothing else on the radio.

It was kind of a contest between that.

And I had the tiger for me for a couple of years there.

So I think history has sort of shown that Madness is probably

the better of the two.

Also, is it the night boat to Cairo,

which we played on the steering committee

on one of our very final shows.

So that's got a special place in my heart.

But, you know, ska is always good, right?

Yeah.

And they're the best at it, right?

They still sound good, still look good.

Still, still at it.

So, nice.

So there we go.

Some listening for the folks.

Go listen to some Madness.

Yeah.

And I'm really.

Madness, good for your madness.

Yeah.

Relive your 80s music vibes.

Yeah.

Anything else you folks wanted to raise tonight?

I think we've got a show, haven't we?

I think that it's a show.

I think we're good.

Yeah.

Just want to say real quick,

thanks for all your support.

The show's growing each week, and that's awesome.

Please just don't forget to follow,

subscribe, rate, and review.

That's the stuff that really gets us on the charts.

And we, again, appreciate you listening,

telling your friends, and even watching on YouTube.

I'm shocked that anyone watches YouTube, but they do.

What's not love, though?

Come on.

It's right, sir.

Contest the passion of you and your roof pants.

That's right.

It's a carrot we will.

18 people coming back.

You'll hold as long as you can.

Is this the week?

No pun intended.

Yeah.

God.

On that note, always be driving.

Thanks so much for joining us.

We will have our special guest.

Thanks for listening.

As Ryan says, like, subscribe, and all that good stuff.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks, everyone.

See you guys next week.

Fun at Parties
