He's like we can even do the trans pan and rocker cover with.
He's like he's like he's done well so some mechanics now.
Yeah, it Rob it's Rob pedal. It's Rob's panels and mechanics.
Uh even better just to have those Automotive Electrical as well. In any case he sort of yeah I
think that's a bit of a hoarder like work in a real gas.
It can be Rob's not, it's just and then at the end of it, you got to put Kai yard as well. Yes, also has.
Yeah. What this Rob?
Get your lmct and, you know, you'd be all sorted.
But yeah. So that's they're here to look
at it. He's like the Russian is bad is
that these surprised that they kind of picked up on it, but because it was kind of patched together previously.
I think that's why. But he's like, doesn't look too
bad actually, for for a free car.
So exactly, that's what courtesy lights it on the in the, in the door locks which Which is always present.
That's actually pretty cool. Nice feature.
So you got that. So those two are obviously the
lasers in a million pieces right now.
So that's getting an engine rebuild.
The ltd's Rob's which will start working on.
Hopefully tomorrow Merc Merc is I drove today to work.
Yeah. So but things only got 45 days
on that car already used 12 those days so they can see Freddy used like 44 of those days.
Well, when I just Restarted it. Mid this month?
Damn, yeah. So there I want to get the old
city on the road ASAP because my life is going to be a while.
Obviously I rebuild don't snap your fingers unlikely like the infinity in Garland and that we can ruin that for people.
Yes. As much as I want to look there,
goes our tomorrow and tomorrow after we call better off, that's it. Like, I give you people a week
to watch a movie, if it's, if it's like a massive, big time movie and if they haven't watched it, then spoilers and I don't care. Oh no, they tried to get tickets
to it too. We managed to get it because we
booked up on the day, but like soon as the tickets came out was like midnight and went straight on and got him but I was going to say spoils it. Don't don't do spoil us.
You got to wake that is new in a week people.
You. So you got till tomorrow people
because it's been out for a week.
Tomorrow then do spoilers. Did you heard what happened in
Shanghai? What happened in China?
Some guy watched it went out into the street like with Cinema was and starts blabbing about the whole film.
He Cobalt it did say why? I mean he got bounced and he got
bouncy, like he was left bloodied and everything, that's hilarious. It's something you do.
Yes. Welcome to the world.
We live in standard standards movie-going logic.
But yeah. So so so the Merc I'm driving
sparingly because I want to look, I can do it for another 45 days. I have to like I drive it pretty
much 90 days last last year. Yeah.
Yes. What about the other car bf6?
Yeah. Well, it's, it's sleeping.
Yes, I know. I know.
I'm it look, it's that it's a, it's not my wife's Mother's house in art in the garage and force me to go get get a, she sleeping, it's leaving. So I have to go there and get it
and then it's just like, you know, but then I will, then I can try, don't really daily because every time I'll eat some, someone hits it or someone backs into it or someone scratches or someone does something to it.
And quite frankly I just don't want to put up with that.
I want if I'm driving the car, when I make sure I'm with the car and 95% of the time. Yeah.
So what when I was in the garage is Parts, covered it's sorted.
Yeah, I'm happy with that. So basically my brother got the
work you he's like oh you can just borrow the borrow, the the faa's until I get the LTD on the road which hopefully will be very soon. Like I was just going to
converge to gone Club Bridge so yeah, if I An alternate between the club Ridge cars and, you know, I'm sort of each other to it and you've got a whole. Yeah.
You do to that, do not knowing you.
You can have another to free cards pop out of somewhere.
Hey, doing you don't even with any free girls, actually, if I knew anybody with any free cars, I would have bought taken the free cars that is. That is a fair point.
So yes, but all-in-all ltd's happening.
It's it didn't overheat. It's that which is good.
So, and I did get stuck in, I think I'm like oh God oh God, oh God, oh God. So I got to because it on the
freeway it's you know, just stuck in the middle and then I pull off the together, into the cold air, to get to, to get the rods, panels mechanical and Auto Electric.
And, and cayard and sales, I should say.
And there was like an accident on the freeway, like, our crops are stuck there and then I sort of temp, temp, to go.
So, that's the creep up a little bit.
Like are, here we go. Like you, so, we got so close
from Epping to to Taylor's X. We got so close, but then
Cleared up and go back on the freeway and the tend to kind of stayed where it was where it did, so it's good.
But Rob, I do apologize for the transmission leaking on your driveway. No, no.
And I say one thing I learned from road kill.
Okay. Is that it's got the grazers in
the transmission fluid, so you're actually cleaning it.
Hey yeah. So he should be thanking you.
Well, I wasn't ready before, but that doesn't matter.
Yes. So Robert you listening, you
should be thanking me. We're going to get to our first
break in the night quick. Hi.
To my know who's listening in. So hello, Nana, hello Nana.
Yes, so thanks for tuning in. We'll be right back after this.
Welcome back to Car Talk. We're now joined on the line by
Allen himself Alma how you doing, pretty good.
No worries. Thanks for joining on the show.
So we are talking about why I'm using my brother's car because yes, Yes, but the famous major, a breezes brother's car despite having can other cars. That's what I said.
That's trouble. Scumbag.
Maddie come back, dude. He's, um, he's gonna work, you
know. Okay.
So quite frankly, you know, he's not paying for fuel, I'm still paying for fuel. So I think I'm getting I got the
crappy end of the stick right there.
Well, these driven my car, if so, what can I do big brother and Ellen? Help me out here, please give me
some sort of feedback on the younger sibling.
So, I'd have to say, yeah. So, how was your flight back to
Rome? It was early in the morning.
That's all I can say. I've got two hours late.
And yeah, it's been a good morning, but no matter you matter. Except speaking of cars, even
though I flew, I could not get well, I'd share a ride back to UNI all my house. What?
Well, so yeah, I personally prefer to use Rideshare Services over cabs generally because they're cheaper.
Yeah, And I'm not hating on the taxi industry at all but that's just what I prefer. Yeah and I open up one of the
apps that I've used to Allah because they're relatively newer on the scene and they give better deals but they were really bad habit of you put in your destination put any location and they'll say we'll find your car and I'll take about up to 5 minutes, to find your card and say, sorry can find you something. So I did that about twice got
tired of it. I was like you know what?
Old Faithful. Better Hoover.
Open up the Uber up booking a ride.
It's more expensive. I'm happy to deal with that.
And that ride. They decide to send me the ride,
not from somewhere around the airport, but somewhere in the call of the city, but, you know, somewhere in the city area.
Yeah, so I had to wait 20 minutes of the taxi will be here between arrived pretty much from where I was going back to the.
And that was, that was my morning right after landing in camera. So you have to wait 20 minutes
for the Uber to come. Yeah.
So essentially from the point I landed and got my baggage from the Bay Area. I was waiting for about 40
minutes before I got it to choose.
Could cover that point dude. Yeah, I just was pretty pissed
off because I see one to come home first.
Grab my grab the Rexy and I draw that to you.
Yeah, but instead, I essentially had to take it.
Yeah. Right to UNI and then take a
right from uni as well back home.
That's not the gross cost me double as well.
And yeah, I wished for two whole minutes.
Dude I was um I can like for relate to that because I was unwell a couple weeks ago and I had tickets to the football and I like you know, I never I never order an Uber or anything but I'll try it. So I ordered a new bomb.
This is the second time. I've actually done a new bike
using my own phone and I've put my position what but it was really a bad spot. I think because I put where I
was And it put me somewhere else for some reason and then the car couldn't find me and in. So she kept driving around and I
felt bad for a huge honor for 15 minutes.
I missed the game because because of it look I missed.
I missed the whole last guy, Mike Mike I can make the last quarter and I've, you know, plenty of time.
I saw her drive past and then she went all the way down.
Forgot, the name of the road is a Flemington Road.
Because she cut my she couldn't do it.
You tend to come back to the hospital where I was at.
So I'm just like you know, and it and then when you try Castle, it's get. It says, are you going to spend
spend $10 to cancel the FED for wasting her time?
Yeah. Looks like they waste my time.
Even even my trip with who. But obviously, if you make the
driver weight, just like a taxi, they would start the meter and you pay a wait to see ya. I don't charge the way, see
despite the fact, I jumped in the car.
Soon as it arrived. I didn't let him talk.
Sometimes you think maybe cabs? No cabs gonna come back, Adrian.
Have you had any Uber or right here?
Fuck. No.
I refuse to usable FairPoint see though.
Ideally ideally, I'd always yes. I make sure I'm always in
control of my own car but sometimes you don't have a choice and they really get you. Moments.
I mean yeah what my problem is is because I deal from all that work. I just I can't do it.
I hate more. It's very, very frustrating.
Now there's your, please give a discount to them as well.
Nope. Okay.
Screw that. I'm Sergeant more because they
waste my time. See why this whole time I was
waiting outside in the cold for the lady to come, there was like three cabs there and I'm like, I should have just taken a cab, I would have been there earlier and I went, and I probably would have paid the same. Still look a little bit more but
anyway, it really worth it. Come on.
She's like I'm probably like a negative review.
Now Mike, that it wasn't your fault.
I'm like where it said I was I wasn't.
I wasn't there. You know?
I mean so like I don't know why I put me in that position and she called me, she's like, where I am like I'm here.
She's like, well, I'm not there. I'm like well, yeah, obviously.
So where are you? I'm right in front of you makes
its you flip in the boot. You've hit me and it's and now,
I'm now I've got Internal injuries but it's okay.
I can still make it to the game. So overall, oh the Rex's you
saying now? It's like it's driving.
Really nice. Which is good to hear.
Yeah, I'm very happy with it. So Asia, doesn't it clean?
And that's, that's one thing I always used to laugh at the idea that waterless washes and all that.
Yeah. And do you know why would you
not workouts pressure washer and get the hose?
And get all the water and I'm like, now, I live in an apartment, I have a carport like eyes that they do that.
And it's killing me. Yep, I still refuse to use
waterless. Wash why I hate it.
If you even I don't think look, even if you can't do it at your own house. That's fair enough.
Yeah, but take it to a Laser Wash, you use like the laser, the pressure wash, and you can either use their soap or bring your own soap. See every every single coin.
Tyler Minton camera is very, very adamant that you cannot bring your own equipment or do anything like that.
Well then just even if you put money in the meter, then just rinse it and wash it there. Well, I just don't like
waterless wash. Okay.
But that's fine because I don't fully clean and you just can't do that. Just for the rinse.
Do not put that brush that you get, no, no, no, no, no.
I mean the brush. I'm gonna find a hand Collison
be like, can I just wash my own car?
I'll pay you the money. He will be there.
Sorry, guys. So I'm just gonna use your
water, but, yeah, I'll be washing my car.
Thank you very much. Luckily, 20 $30.
But every time I've tried with car wash, I'm doing it.
Just stay away Adrienne with the NX.
Yeah, we were outside talking about it.
So you, so now you put the Viper in it.
Yeah. I went through.
Work was get 600 bucks. Okay.
So six other laws, even seven. The problem is is everybody
loves the SR20, so it will get stolen and that's why I don't want it to what? Why don't you just get some
Hefty? Insurance on will get stole not
though can donate let me go into those third-party find theft.
Okay. This is my last all of the car.
Yeah. I mean you still have the car?
Yes. Good point.
Second point it does it have the the tracker Jupiter, the tracker one. Like nah, I'm getting installed
a very soon because you get the Viper with the tracker.
Yeah, not putting them together. Track.
My ride is a new stuff. It's Australian driven, it's
made in Sunbury. Okay, so the It offers in some
brick. All right, so yeah, I'm going to
use that stuff. Okay, and it's expensive.
What are the right? I think was about 300 bucks for
the unit and then it's about 125 year to use the SIM card comes with. Yeah, that's not too bad.
I mean everywhere else. Like for example, I bought my I
bought my unit. I just want to Jake are, you
know, but it works fine. I'm not very when it comes to
track is very We'd with that. Yeah, I'd rather use the name
brand, even if it cost me twice or three times as much, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, because we have the gator brand at work too. Yeah, they're really comes in
on, what's it like and I'm like it's terrible and it is, we do get them like coming back. That's why, I'll never put
anything cheap in the car. First, I thought what I got
like, I was reading up about it. People seem to like it, it works
fine. It works flawlessly.
I just paid, like, I put my own some cutting it.
I just picked up next month. Yeah, I don't know, I just like
the track, my ride stuff. Fair enough, fair enough.
What about you, Alan? Have you?
You thought about doing any luck?
Sorry, tracking the way I think about it.
Like, it's already too late and in some ways.
Yes, a point. And, you know, There is a point
to it, but like, there's always the want to spend somebody else's hands. It's the molestation started.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I'm point, you don't know if you want to take it back or not, I'm just being the grass about this point and he's like he's like the childhood stories. Like I wouldn't want to back.
I'm not gonna like well why not? Like it's your pride and joy is
like because like I wouldn't know what I wouldn't want to know what someone else has done to it and I destroyed it and you know, yeah. It's a more of you you kind of
output would like to move on. We can be like 8 Grand and what.
And the Chasers. So yeah, I'm still.
So I'm very salty about that. You ain't gonna just like, okay,
I get why you saw it. I understand but like he did
that have a Viper in it. Yeah this is of life with its in
the MX was supposed to go into the house met a week off.
Putting it in our security had a oh yeah, that makes sense, then.
Okay, I thought you just bought it.
I'm actually Feeling, because I put the club walk on it.
Finally, put the club lock, I would have, would have been taken. Yeah, which is much as it would
have hurt me, get the money out of it, but I still can't believe they're like, they, they tried to steal the clock on the other.
With other, we're going to do with it because however like yeah, this is a Car Talk top tip, okay?
When it comes to Club locks, we have many install Okay, as I'm sure super cheap diet sodas, all the other automotive stores people Do not put cheap stuff in it, okay?
We're going to work 10 bucks, 20 bucks, 30 bucks, the metal on them is theme, okay? It's like I don't know how big
it said that is. Yeah, better CM thick.
Yeah, right there. Bendable you put enough Force
into it and you can bend it snap at all, that kind of stuff.
The one that I've got at home, which I've got to find again, it was like a lock, it's see, it's a lock on the Square One.
Yeah, it's a thick one. That's the whole reason I
couldn't take it off because it was just thick to, like, trying to, like, trying to talk about it.
You can say that you could see the marks on the steering lock, geez. I was just like, well, what do
you do? But them spill did not did love.
Like are you did now? Another no Jay, no, no, Jay, no
GE GE, plenty old budget at There is a life from now on got a little bit laughing. Yeah, it's gonna get fixed.
It's just a matter of trying. I'm trying to do like four
things at once right now. So I don't know how it's going
to go. Anytime soon.
Is there any ETA that know? I'm not really say, you know,
Connie also a little call someone tomorrow because they've got some spare parts, which they said there may have like Parts, like the parts. I need.
Okay, crank rods and all that, okay, we're going to see if he's got them. And how much, but the problem
is, it's like after that, then we're going on holiday next year. Yeah, I'm going to save up for
that as well, and I'm back. So it's going to a lot of money
for me a few years away the moment.
But yeah, it's costing registered.
Yeah. Okay.
I'll still give a registered like and I know it's a waste of money but I'd rather keep a register in the whenever he gets fixed. Great back on the road.

I think you got nothing to say back to him.
Oh, I feel sorry for him. He feels sorry for you.
I'll um, did you hear that? You feel sorry for me because my
cuz working with engine, you know, out to his that right-clicking on foreplay. So for you, for that reason
agent. I know it's just normal BMW
life. There's no need to worry about
that. He's all about that.
Be my life and the fact you get a crappy looking out an X.
Yeah. Next is that I believe from day
one of always said that but I love it because it is so ugly.
Well look we gotta think some challenges out of the box.
So we've got besides besides drag besides slalom zodiac they not come on burn out. Okay fine Bernie up I mean it's
really hard because they're both signature interesting.
Hmm in the back now that's this is dangerous.
That's been done. LM, you usually go to thin of
this dumb shit. What what what can we possibly
do here, so, like that. No none.
Okay, provides a mechanic. I'll do that.
If you bring the bricks, no idea what the right house.
That's you know what we do. Whoo, go to a car, meet with him
and we'll have a little voting box.
Is Farm a petty cash. I know what my daily do you not
understand? I want to break it Adrian.
I like that idea of going to a comment and having having a voting box in each car and see who gets the most votes.
What do they just put one in the middle?
And you're going to vote either one or two.
Like we have like a little number.
Yeah. Vote one laser.
Over to that other way around. I vote 1X.
Eric and I are going to be that would be very cool.
So we stayed to reanimate and be like and just like it could be, it could be the mg Club who is it?
Wouldn't matter because quite frankly, we need something to pick out of these two cars. Yeah.
But I don't think it really counts at the moment because like, if you're going for, what's better looking, your cousin really wanted but people will be like, oh, well, that would be the Easy Choice and then my Kind of fall in love with the, the ugliness that is the n x, take away, try sorry, fast food, trays and doing some kind of cop.
I really think that'll get the, the people gone.
Well, I think Maddie's already won that one.
Handbrake is everywhere, right? The, the handbrake like half
works. We love, we put a brief on the
railway in front and behind running behind.
Exactly. Right.
So, it's like a couple of the truck.
It says it does. It does not move, but your art.
So, so let's fill this out. Drag my cat, my cat Strays track
day and he make his choice, Bernie out and People's Choice, and economy, and a random comic when I'm going to be the worst comic to get to and, and Northern girls, not enough.
Yeah, we could do that, but we can say, okay, pick one or pick to every customer that comes in the store.
Which car would you pick? Yeah, but you're going to have
them, write it down. You know, you gotta raise the
stakes is going to be like I want to cause this question to a queue or something. What?
No and then yes. How about how about you?
Mr. Move you're cute. You know what we do you do
winner gets Alan's car and we get to do whatever we want to it. I'll be like the same leave my
car alone that well I can't winners think it's something there. What does the what does I'm not
doing anything that's going to have the Jeopardy of like the car, okay? As much as it's ugly and it's an
Ethan and I like it, right? Like I do like the car, but I
think we just do something small.
Like I think we go off the guards when it comes to modifying cars. What I will see which card last
box of ice cream. Oops, that's pretty small.
Yeah, I think this would be more than that because, like, these guys didn't pay me HSP still, no.
But that's your own fault. Okay, we went there and they
serve people after me after telling you, man.
Anyway, anyway, so I'm done with the food challenge because I know I'm never going to get anything.
If I went no, no between us ball.
Three. That's okay as well.
It's winner, gets a choice of their box of ice creams, okay?
Like whatever it is, K times or connoisseurs.
Whatever. I ahhh.
Well, let's pick some expensive then stir just a mess with yours. What is it with you and
expensive stuff? What?
Tell the American Music a times? The specific brand of ice cream?
Yes, sir. There's any confusion?
Yes, sir. Yes.
For those of our viewers, who don't know what a Golden Gate, I'm is Golden Gate. So it is an option if you really
want to know what it is. Jump on a Mighty Car Mods video.
And One of the challenge video, most of the challenge videos they go and challenge each other for a box of K times K times.
Yes. So said I don't like gay time.
So just like, it's that you were the first one to mention that no other ice creams. But then, what wouldn't you say?
Normally just I said box of ice creams then you enter at the gate. I'm, it was always explaining.
What? Mcmd analysis, it kind of seals.
I love cookies and cream. What's happening to US patent?
Pending I don't know, like I don't want to do anything too drastic, but at the same time it's like I want to do fun stuff but not stuff that's going to jeopardize the car.
Well any always tells you gonna break the college know it's just like bracing and all that. I don't care about like you're
gonna break the car. No, you're not.
Yes you are. No, you're not.
Yes, you are. Now you know you were gonna
break the car. Well, that's because you don't
know how to drive. That's because you don't know
how to drive because I know how to drive you'll be MW says otherwise because it's a BMW. LM help me out.
What did you buy today? Life is a really crappy the
renowned for their whatever failure.
Yes. Yeah, we're as if you treat an
SR-22 properly, they're fine. Okay.
It's going to break. It's got it.
Just dawned on him that he's cause he's got his kind of, he'll be a fine laughs and we're going to get Anthony down with the past year. So I mean it's it'll be the
nugget challenge. Like, I've got the new I should
know. Doesn't have the newest car
because you except for came after all these are the extra Force got the most power so I reckon he'd have some not that quick. You mean it?
Yeah it's honestly not that quick because it's not perfect.
Like I was actually surprised what's in a to later.
Yeah but like key revved it out when I was with him so I said to him give it to it and then it says yeah I was like hmm.
Okay. Okay, so we're still at a bigger
engine than, you know than the motility.
Yeah, it's got to later. So, I mean, we're two later
power. So Barry must accept the patio.
You know, what we need to do? What if, to get a bottle of milk
to boil milk? Yeah, because I'm a cousin to
laters. Yeah.
Well juice milk and Juice milk and Juice.
Yes. And now we get to get stickers.
Now pain, pending speaker speaks because I've got our limited edition ATS luxury. Secures their get did they
currently getting printed and our new logo just letting letting you know Adrienne so you can get you can get a new logo printed because you said you can print seeing the colors can be shared. Yep I didn't get around to it so
either but it's going to be white.
Yeah, yeah that's fine. That's fine.
It'll be white with black writing.
Correct nose and like the saw the whole thing we want.
So we have no background on it. So it's just clear transparent.
Okay? Then it's the actual writing is
white. Okay.
Yeah, I can make a visual so you kind of like, you know, like the MCM stickers, Yeah, like the top fingers and all that.
That's just a one color it's the same thing, easy done.
So yeah, I reckon they look pretty cool.
Cool, cool. It's all happening.
How long we should get? I wish you get the other
stickers made up to will make him.
Now that challenge hashtag - tell me, I shouldn't I get challenged. Hashtag, if it's D either World,
instead of SR20 the world, They've got no laughs.
That was terrible. Adrian's walking out.
Okay? Alex was just you and me I think
even Alan's hang up the phone at this point I have struggle I think he's great.
You see Adam Towards part of Formula Drift, okay?
Part 2. Unfortunately, he didn't make it
through the qualifiers, but how come?
He just didn't make? It was no good.
Yeah, yeah, he was stressing like had better runs when he was in practice, but because it was the first time in front of like, all the judges. He panicked.
Yeah, Panic to be but refresher yeah, you know, so yeah, how he said that he's going to the next one.
So he might be able to. I don't know if something else.
Is that what the truth? This could be Jay-Z's well
that's it's 15 as if these are interesting with.
The 2J teacher asked, was the breakpoint to then the he busted better, the vowels. I think it was he broke the
unbreakable engine. Yeah, he bent the house.
I was running my time to add horsepower, so I think of that and then it's her 3.4 in it. Now He would be sent amazing.
Oh yeah to Jason generals an amazing City.
Especially stroked, like just the idol.
I'm like it was a lumpy. Oh yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
Sing a super has. Any are worth like 100 grand?
An automatic Arrow tops, more than you can afford powerful than I can afford pal. Subbro are worth crapload of
money as well. Even in A's are getting a
pushing, 20 grand now NHS and like these cars will throw away at like one point. What can we get that is of
similar value to a superhero like into Hollow similar in terms of performance, in terms of what can we buy instead of a super that would be a better car.
That isn't for the same amount of money, the money.
I mean, I could give you the same feeling you can get a good choice for that amount of money. Okay?
Well I'll rephrase them will do both so the same money and for, you know, and just are a bunch a cheaper.
If you want to, Jay still Christos their order and therefore they can mingle Swap and you can get them Turbo.
Yeah, 33. You can't deal with a lot of
money. Yes, you're telling me.
Far out. Okay, I remember seeing when I
did, it was pretty big people. Still gdr, 33 little jelly.
Oh yeah. And it was.
And that was, I mean, it was rust free, but it was just beat.
And I was like 12 Grand and then clean ones.
Like 25 Grand Max. Yeah, we do now.
I should have bought a Judea. You're Tellin Me.
Yeah, I shoulda brought a super. How does that sound?
Because I'm mr. I like, you can say that.
I'm mr. Jay Z because At the 1j.
A lot of people say that all you love Jay-Z, that's what he said, and I really don't anything straight sex is awesome but I don't like supers jza 80s shock. I appreciate them.
Like I appreciate what they are. Would I go out and buy one like
even if they'll still cheap? Know why not?
I don't know. They're just too over-the-top
Corps. Volunteers are pretty crappy.
Yeah, but I still look good. But yeah, as a whole, I prefer a
GTR. I think it through, I love 33g
hearts. Like out of all the shapes of
skylines, my favorite is the 33 but I still prefer my over supers, like any Skyline or gdr. Sorry Elam.
What's your take on that? Aesthetically feels much more
noise, not sterile but, you know, nice and clean.
Fair Point. I'm assuming it's been cut, kept
clean, of course instead of either straighten business, xpect then the shit out of luck. Well.
Okay. If that's the case, then what
would you get for similar money and what would you get as a cheaper alternative? That's still super ask and like
what aristos like a four-door car.
So that's probably pushing out of it.
But I reckon you could get, like, a 300ZX or realistically.
If you got like a crystal Crusader, my manager at work is Got one then it's just put a 1 J into.
There's a crossover stylist top in a box or on.
Did they change things I could do with you but yeah, Joey dude.
Crash F6. No buyback.
Get the engine. Put it into the, the setup, and
then you can raise some Anthony Anthony.
Yes, I can be a committees Crown.
Yeah, okay. Yeah.
I seriously getting up but in terms of the question that we that we've posed Adrienne and Alum, what would you call what you go for like 03? Hundreds of extras.
Use them to, that's a good one. How much do they go for these
days? Um, let me just call him up now
more than you can afford. Pal maintenance.
Yes, sixty six grand. That's manual 66.
Yeah. Okay.
So it's like, that's a pricey alternative.
I cannot believe that these cars are in that the coop.
Yep, it's turbocharged. Something considerably.
Yeah, that's really the straight sticks when it's two door coupe manual handle incredibly. Well, maintenance and killer
wasps I'm super. Pal and you can probably upload
that you can you can tune them quite easily.
Yeah. So is that, is that your that
your same price range pick? Yeah, you know, give that to
myself last night, you pick. Okay, then what about for your
cheaper alternative schenkel can give me a bit on that because then it would be like a, like, a two-door.
Yeah, it's in a situation. I think I just remembered right
now I was watching the behind the scenes of The Fast and Furious for you know Brian's JDR.
Mmm was not a JDR, the blue one. The blue one really is JT T he
wants it is a disease, got two cars you're gonna know it was JT dad it in the behind the scenes what's his name?
Dennis was talking about them but really he's like yeah.
It's not a JDR because you're talking a hundred fifty thousand dollars for a car instead, they wouldn't go to JT, made it look like a Jew, they customize the rear bumpers and everything to fit on. Yeah.
But if you actually look at it properly, like throughout all the things, it's not my body. It sounded really are, okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
To have it all. Be 26 of it that by don't know
about. Okay?
But did you see Aesthetics of the car like on the car itself?
It was their Duty with the jail. ER body kit.
Well, okay, so so you can see how much our duties now. 34 is
that if they like putting 25 grams it depends on the buckles because we for granted by an RX-7 wfd.
I think anymore I've seen some up, 30 40 Mark, if these knee well, I don't like the limited editions are like the spirit of the last ones that came out. There's some that's 30 to 40
Grand. Okay.
Everything's gone up. All right.
Okay, so I'll have to be really excited.
I don't know. Speaking of condition, that's
the word. Yeah, depends on the condition.
You can get ones that are about 15 G GTS.
Yeah but they're okay condition, my mates one that had 20 23 years, something thousand on it and he picked that up quite cheap, but that's going back about two years now, okay?
Or a year, I don't remember. So that was pretty cool as well.
But I wonder if it's a lot of money though, and it's the same amount of money that I spent on their M3.
I haven't I'm sorry. I just would, I don't want it.
I've got the complete opposite way and look, I want to just say this okay? I don't blame the car for what
happened, okay? And I don't blame myself for
buying the car. It's just an unfortunate
circumstance that have you got with it but I like to have fun with it. Yeah, that's it.
What's your car? Either 370 zip.
Whoa, that's a good choice. We're gonna slide.
That's why the three studies. Okay?
Especially why? Use one you can Bond
considerably cheaper or I was going to say because you didn't want a two-door. I was going to say, hey and
expensive. To are you.
Okay, you've got me there. You've got me there.
Um, what about honesty? I like a two-door.
STI. How much are they going for
these days? That's a hundred and some
thousand dollar car. Okay.
Then that's out of the price, right?
That's not a 22b. That's just the standard to
Door. STI, a grand.
Now, no way, the 22 bezel tube is 150 plus 150, plus.
But yeah, this one here because they didn't make lots of these either. Some people say that these are
rarer than the 22 bees but I don't know about that but I think that's about a hundred thousand dollar car and that was at the front of my store. Two, three days ago.
He just came as a take it out of my car or he's going past.
He's got that and in 22 B. IMA.
Okay. So he's got, he's got some nice
boobies then. Oh yeah.
Is this a nice cars? Okay, we have a 1999.
Subaru, Impreza, directs, STI, version 5, n to n.
That is total 70 grand, 7465 and 1472 ground as though the entire listing like ourselves that is all kinds of messed up.
I can't believe that something like this is expensive everything, these days is gone expensive.
Is a 1 in 400 worldwide. So, okay, expensive.
All right, I'll still getting a 20 year old daughter is STI.
Doesn't sound appetizing well, getting a 1993 twin-turbo super for 100 grand. Doesn't sound appetizing Ela.
That's true, but it's a super At least, at least that's called a fast and furious tax. A lot of cars these days do it's
like Sylvia's, you get anything like SMS for 10 is 15 that's stock and cleans because I don't exist.
Adrian don't even have to 30 grand.
These cars have been destroyed within an inch of their life, every single one. Yeah.
Because all been crafted. Yeah.
There's tax Josh like, give tax. Yep.
And there's also the like the tofu tax with the 86 86 has.
I'd love to I do Monday. They're amazing not worth 30
grand. Plus, they don't do not have the
30 grand, I don't know. It depends on what you're doing.
If you're talking technical courses, especially, I Quinton 86 would dominate, huh really? I mean, okay, yes.
I got a really nice little engine but it's not that careful, you put it and they're gonna live axle, they don't even IRS like not okay. But what I'm trying to say is if
you put one of those up against yo, say Chase All right, to say Chase is going to want more power but soon as you get to the corners and I can vouch for this, okay, unless you modify that car with suspension mods, the tires.
All right, that does not turn but the formal family car.
It's not supposed to turn now, but it's faster.
It's got more power. Yeah, that's because it's got
all my waiter to move around not that much in 86.
On the other hand is that the Chasers only way about fourteen fifteen hundred kilos my type anyway. 700 yards.
Yeah. But that's what I'm saying.
I'm in a straight line. It will absolutely dominate soon
as you get the corners, may be talking chalk and cheese.
That's because at the car weighs 86 ways or what?
900, 800 kilos, put it up against the M3.
Yeah. Okay.
It will beat the M3 in Corners 100%, but I don't stop, Don't Stop Til seven 800 kilos. Yeah you can.
Turn that cough up Lee. Okay, lets you put good tires on
to it when you're going around corners.
Okay? It does not want to turn.
You have to break it and then like go into Corners, whereas with the 86 same as that in a sense outside.
Anything that's small. You just throw it in and it
goes, well yeah. Well I mean look, I do that with
my laser yellow. My laser can get into Corners.
Really, really quickly. Yeah, but I don't think it
depends. It depends on tracks.
OK, perfect example. V8 Supercars.
Yeah, back in the day, you had the VK Commodores, which were all Papa V8, teranas, and Minis. And the minis would still win on
the top of the mountain. I do you probably going older
older Holdings in there than VK because because yeah, click it.
And yeah, that was my building that.
I mean, you had karateka roles May then be seized, it'll be a while ago, but then you've got but then you've got.
Okay, I get that Minnie's. Yes, that's it.
But well, like with small cars that were made to handle like, But I also think that this cars a 1983 Corolla and it's got and your, your M3 is about 20 years of 20, 20 plus years of suspension and handling development over that car.
It's even though it's got Mass behind it.
I think it'll still be. It doesn't.
And I can tell you this, I can vouch for this.
I will tell you the same thing to say that it's not that it's not a great. Yeah, I like any sixes.
That's all I'm trying to say. No, I don't want to I By one, I
wanted to buy one. I don't know if people have had
them but the discuss too much. Yeah, what's your take on that
album? Only 86.
Yeah, which originally, but okay.
I think we need to hang up on me.
You just got to spend driving around because they had the, my tone poem and frequently do bottom up as well.
Okay, modern stuff. Everyone has gone.
So we'll bring back to before we go.
But yeah, so do I look, I get what you're saying.
I definitely get what you're saying.
We're getting back. Hang on a sec guys.
Well sorry, I did what that was all Maddie's fault.
We were married. Yes, keep blaming me, I guess.
Yes. Look, I think I ran around like
a Time. Technical, technical track.
Your pretty lady she probably would be small.
Actually perfect example, when MCM went to Japan.
Yeah. To pick up the 240Z the bait was
Keeping Up with the 240. That is true.
That is very true. That's all.
That's all I'm trying to say is like, you need to pick the right car for the right course. But at the end of the day, if
you have anything that's technical, no matter how much power you have. Got your company can't use it.
You can't do it. So yeah, not look.
I'll agree with you like if My laser come up against my typhoon, for example, in like a short, like new really, narrow turns and exam. For instance, winter on the
straights. That laser had, no hope not, but
there's not many straights, but in the corners do the lies are lies. It would be better.
But I don't think it'll be better by much though.
Like because the colorful it's not too bad.
In terms of in terms of performance because if you put like if you just put the typhoon on the track now, but then you put a set of good tires on the laser.
The laser will outperform it in Corners a lot.
Yeah. But then again, if you put good
tires on to the typhoon, which is got ya, you're talking.
Yeah. It's gonna be a very small unit
difference. So why not be better?
We will put Elemental we went up to the spur and stuff like I was I was in Mexico in Mexico. Obviously, I was always like
you're always pulling away from you even if okay by you you had your head your arm suspension issues and stuff but still like I it wasn't it wasn't, it was surprisingly, not bad, was it it's actually funny that you mention that I had a mate that had a MX-5. Yeah, he went up on a mountain
and as well and like the way he was flying through corners with that, he's making the skyline behind can keep up, keep up.
Yeah. Yeah.
And it It's just because you got your light and you got lightness in the car so agile, it can it can dine in Corners really quickly. I mean, look at it makes five
against an 86 and miserable day 100% in terms of like handling and stuff and we survive unless you're talking the the and he'll on hakone or menarche know. Yeah.
But look, I totally get what you're saying.
And Adrian I just think that Yes, there are good card.
If I had one, I'd defense of the hills, I love them.
I love them dearly but I just don't think they're in stock form as good as I'm gonna make some estimate that that's just my two cents, not in stock for now.
But I've got a question for you. Yeah.
Okay. Just because I know we're going
to wrap up. See ya lemons?
Yes. Okay, now I'm asking you as in
for your personal opinion, sure. You've got a choice.
Okay. That all the cars that around
that thousand dollar Mark or unblock.
Yeah today. Yep.
And from what I've been saying, you know, you got your exhales, you get your old school laser. So like the 80s.
There's believe I saw passio in a Civics but the non-vtec.
Yeah, there's an X's pulsars. You got your file pins.
You got your Commodores whole? What else?
Is a, there's a few different cars.
What would you be recommended to go for it?
Go for reliability wise, and the I don't stop there you because you can get a floating layer box and pick up those.
Yep. For fun factor and things that
will go around corners and last kind of work.
I can even control would be good to put in that list.
Then Corolla a laser this silica?
Silica silica? Oh yeah, the older one with the
pop-up headlights. Yeah, I just saw you with that.
It depends on the model. You might be getting the Camry
2.2 engine in that, but that's 83 84.
I said earlier. Okay.
Okay cool it. That's discover record their
rule Drive, the early eighties ones.
I believe what. Yeah.
So it's alright, I'd have that finger that I found a thousand dollars but that's too nice a kayak because that's too rare card to, to kind of do this too. If you can get a cheap Annex,
you really know how to fix them. Well, the only reason SR20 in
there pretty often so stock, like only reason I'm thinking the NX out of all of them is because The NX.
I've got one. Take that out of consideration.
Yeah, it's an SR 20. So the quick, okay, and I can
vouch in Daniel, it is either Kaya, but you busting engine, I've already looked on Gumtree. 350 bucks.
You can go buy a new engine done.
So it's like, why wouldn't you hmm?
But yeah I'm just like because I've been trying to think what caused it out there to purchase because what I really want to do it especially being called a park.
As I think this is the last year called up Parks actually allowed. Okay?
Yeah. So that's why I'm really
intrigued the door Alan. What do you think?
Hello, hello. I think we've lost him.
I think he's dead. I think.
Is that element you still with us now?
He's dead. Okay, oh well, looks like it's
just us till we get this weekend.
So, look, I think because we've lost Alum.
If he comes back, he comes back. He doesn't doesn't, I think,
personally go for the yeah, there's a leak would be cool if it is the old rear-wheel drive one.
Otherwise, I'm a bit hesitant, if it's a new one, because if I remember correctly with that one, that's for sale.
It's been sitting a while so need a few things to freshen up.
Yeah, I mean just to get through scrutineering that you really going to need to make sure it's not leaking any oil or anything and that can be a bit of a pain. If a car has been on a rug,
well, if you can get, if you can get an A, you with a 5-speed, you and that car will outlive any of the cars there.
Yeah. But it's an IU at the underside.
It's big and heavy stream that you're going to have is Because it's a sedan, it's a big car is, you know, why a lot on the brakes you are. That's why that's why you put.
You put like a heavy-duty pads in it here to be careful.
A lot of the stuff is all scrutiny had now a heavy-duty pads. I'm going to eat fake meat heads
and rotors I believe work. Okay, we have tires are just
Standardized retires. Yeah, well you treat for you.
The best route as you can you know ask him some guys went there with I think I'll miss Orleans.
Yeah, the pilot Sports and all that they've got told off, it's going to be taped eyes. We'll have to think about this.
