¡Hola! Bienvenidos a otro spin-off de Friday,
respondiendo tus preguntas.
Voy a comenzar con uno de los escuchadores llamados Rufus.
¿Y Shakacán o no?
No, solo en su propio punto de vista.
No sé si ella es buscadilla.
Ok.
¿Crees que ella es buscadilla?
¿Crees que ella es buscadilla?
No creo que ella es buscadilla.
No es una pregunta.
No, pero se va a botar a mí.
Sí, a mí también.
No, ella es todavía vivo. Gracias por eso.
Bueno, Rufus ha temporary stopped doing that
and sent us a question, which is,
starts with hello, you pair of lug nuts.
I know you both enjoy a second hand car
and with the increasing regulations on new cars,
the idea of owning something new is less appealing to me than ever.
My question is,
are there any cars that you would only own brand new?
Not cars that you wouldn't buy at all,
but something that is first hand or not at all.
That's a good conundrum, Rufus.
A car that you'd only own brand new,
not cars that you wouldn't buy at all.
I mean, I've long thought that ideally
a hot hatchback is best if you're the first owner
because you can never quite be sure
what Dick Hedery has happened in a hot hatchback
that's been owned by other people.
And I'm not just saying that
because of my Panda 100 horsepower experience.
No, I think you're right.
I would have, I would have really liked.
In fact, it seems to be coming up
in more and more conversations lately,
but I would have really liked to have bought a Megane R26
or R26 R new
because they are a bit of a Russian roulette second hand
because they're highly strong
and obviously very capable
and they can fall into the hands of a foreskin
who doesn't treat them with respect.
And then it's quite an unknown on the second hand
off of the market of the second hand.
I wonder if because they were quite limited numbers
relatively expensive
and a real kind of connoisseur's choice
in the hot hatch world
if you have at least got the hope
that someone has owned it from you
who has driven it in a spirited way
but not thrashed it
and importantly not crashed it
and had a cheap repair done
and are the kind of person
who would let the oil warm up
before they absolutely ragged it
and that kind of thing.
So at least they might be out there.
But yeah, exactly.
They are also going to attract Peanye
because I just feel hot hatches.
They're attainable
but also because they are
sort of just based on normal cars
they don't feel so precious
so people tend to treat them with abandon
and then that's when bad things happen.
I want to also
and I've got
I haven't got much evidence to suggest
that this is a good idea or not
but I want to also say TVR
I mean TVR been in the news again lately
because there's murmurs
that they're going to return
but I think as EVs
which to me sounds ridiculous
and a stupid idea
I've got Clarkson's voice
you know when Clarkson says stupid
he has a real funny way of saying stupid
that's to me that's stupid
to me TVR returning as an EV
it shouldn't return
if it's going to do that.
I know it's too late now
just give it up
because yes
anyway let's not go into that
I the other car that
popped into my mind
when I read this question
strangely
perhaps was Ferrari
and specifically Ferrari 296
I don't particularly crave a Ferrari
no for various reasons
but of the current Ferrari range
the 296 I think is a very nice looking car
and I saw a light blue one
a while ago
and it looked sensational to my eyes
I just loved it
but
and I think this could apply to
any high-end car
where there are so many options
in trimmings and spec
yes
that is the primary reason
why I would only want one brand new
I think is because
then you can have it
exactly the way that you want it
and you don't have to tolerate
the slightly unusual taste
or the not exactly the same as yours
taste of the previous owner
so you know if you had like a light blue 296
oh great
and it's got
a very tasteful
dark blue leather interior
yeah fantastic
but then for some reason they spec
like bright yellow seat belts
and just go oh
no
no thanks
but it's too expensive to change the seat belts
so you just live with them
because the rest of the car is great
but
you know if it was your car from new
have it the way you want it
actually you've got me thinking about Lamborghinis
because there's such a high
quantity of Belenduri
with bouncing the engines off the limiter
in traffic
yeah
yeah
I don't know if I could bring myself to buy a second hand
modern Lamborghini
no
I think it would be one of those cars
where I would
but the thing is you talking to someone
that if I did ever commit to buying a car
of that level new
it would be a car that I'd already
resided myself to the fact that it was going to
be with us forever
it was going to stay in my family forever
yeah
I would instantly write it into my will
as like
this car won't be sold
someone has to keep it
that's that
and in about 40 years time
if Tom Cotter is still alive
which you won't be
but the Tom Cotter the bar
and find hunter will dig this car out
and you can sell it at auction
for a million pounds
if you wanted to
or just use it here and there
and just look after it
but yeah
I
I don't crave that
I'd rather
yeah
I'd rather crave a
dirty TV
are really
a purple dirty TV
are
have cop jeder craving
for TV ours lately
I don't know what's happening to you
yeah
I got a massive craving for them
I don't know if this is an appalling
thought process or not
but
yeah
I yes
I mean
do I need to stage an intervention
at some point
yeah
I think so
if somebody finds a
it's going to be a Sabra
of me
I've said this before
yeah
it's going to be a Sabra
probably in that green all that purple
and
yeah
I really
pero es una pregunta muy buena y quiero decir alfa amea también
Julia, un Julio Quadrofolio
creo que será una carta muy satisfacente a la nueva
sería un poco de un preocupante usado
y...
Sí, sé lo que significa
Sí, creo que idealmente, pero
confusivamente, están así, como si estuvieran
preciosas en las manos del segundo
y me siento como un Julio Quadrofolio
es, de nuevo, el tipo de carro que podría haber sido
traído por alguien muy simpatizante
alguien que comprende los carros
Sí, no una persona M3
básicamente
Exactamente, creo que puedes plunder a una M3
sin ser una absoluta arsuita que solo tiene el dinero para comprar una
Sí
el alfa se siente más como un carro de connoceso, uno de ellos es muy deliberado
porque eres el tipo de persona
que le da la arsuita y que
replica las tiras en una forma timida y todo ese tipo de cosas
Sí, esta es una pregunta interesante
de Shifty Dave
Hola Shifty Dave
Capitán Johnny y Richard, el caballero
el año es... el año es 2,500
el polo carros
es eso ahora?
hemos subido un poco
bueno, eso...
ok
es un tiempo longo en el futuro
no es un tiempo longo en el futuro
no es incomprehensivamente así
es
eso es lo más largo de nosotros ahora, asimismo, como estamos
desde el siglo XVI y es como...
es demasiado, no puedo imaginar
demasiado, creo que la vida era...
no era reconocida, porque no tenía
carros, aeropueltas, smartphones o algo así
son muy recientes
perdón, estamos tomando un poco de eso
Shifty Dave ha decidido ese año
y dice
en el año 2,500
los polo carros se han metido y la tierra
se ha subido casi completamente
sí, eso es correcto
puedes encontrarse en un 1995
Kevin Costner Blotbuster Waterworld
el podcast de Smith & Smith
debe, por supuesto, continuar
y tienes que convertir uno de tus vehículos
que serán relics por ahora
a un bote que te dará
a la isla mítica de dry land
¿cuál de tus vehículos decidirías
sobrevivir a este nuevo mundo de marinas mutantes
y smokers de la leyenda?
Nota, Johnny's Boat no es una opción
como se corta el fuego
debido a el rodillo en el lampo de rabete
que te podría haber fitado a algún punto
Chias matey, gracias matey
chico o búe
si eres americano
¡Oh!
Muy genial
¿Vas a ver lo que ha hecho?
Muy genial Shifty Dave
yo...
sé que podría tener un sticker
hecho antes de mi bote
no sé si te lo dije, pero tengo un bote
bueno, esto es un difícil bote
en los años 2500
tenemos que elegir uno de nuestros vehículos
para convertir un bote
que te dará a la isla mítica de dry land
así que quieres algo relajable
y presumably bastante confortable
yo tenía un breve pensamiento
que tal vez mi bote de Honda
sería un bote de speed
y...
pero es...
yo ya había tenido un bote de revi
así como un bote de outboard
¡sí!
sería un bote de salida de high revs
¡sí!
¡sí!
¡sí!
¡perfección!
pero por otro lado, es un poco...
pequeño
y el bote de fuel es un poco pequeño
es como... ¿cuánto tenemos que ir aquí
para...
ir a dry land?
¿o qué es la acusación de la acusación?
¡sí!
¡sí!
yo te permito tener un bote de inundación
te permito tener un bote de inundación
pero ¿cuál es el pássaro?
¡no hay mucho espacio!
¡Passo de la desplazada!
la verdad es...
¡sí!
o es un rato de semiconductor
pero naturalmente
Lo que me da es, creo que la opción es obvio, porque es como si hay un feel de bote, que es la quest de Eagle.
¡Oh! ¡Sí!
Pero, ha sido como una bote de canal, de alguna manera.
¡Es una bote de narro!
¡Es longa y fina!
¡Yo también me olvidé de que el Eagle podría ser la barra perfecta!
¡Sí!
Y luego hay un poco de ruptura, así que no estamos.
Supongo que es solo tú y yo, pero no estamos caminando sobre el otro.
Podríamos tener, como si estuviera dormida...
Cuartos viviendos, sí.
Y una galleta.
¡Un cuchonete!
¡Sí!
¿Sabes, también?
Es una barra muy torquilla, en la rpm.
¡Ahí está, C.C.!
¡Sí!
¡Sí!
Que puede ser un beneficio, como si hubiera algún tipo de...
¿Puede decir que hay algo como de las normas y cosas así?
¡Sí!
Puedes mantener un poco de profe.
Ahora, una barra blanca...
...desplazando...
...en el agua y en la noche.
¡Sí!
Con un poco de ropa...
¡Sí!
Puedes mantener un poco de profe, así que es bueno.
¡Es una buena idea!
¡Sí!
¡Pues eso es lo mejor!
¿Qué es la cosa que hiciste a Bangerall y que era una barra?
¡Oh!
¡Es una bolsa de limazine!
¡Es una bolsa de 760 o 740!
¡Sí!
¡Es una buena idea!
¿Puede que se construyera una barra blanca, como una barra blanca, ¿no?
¡Sí!
Hicimos la barra blanca y la barra de limazine, porque era un salón.
Y básicamente, donde la barra de limazine era...
...es muy clave.
Hacían una barra blanca...
...de pie.
Y entonces, el área donde la barra de limazine era...
...puedes estar ahí...
...y hay una barra de limazine...
...y una barra de limazine, obviamente.
Y creo que hay una barra de limazine ahí.
Entonces...
¡Claro!
Puedes either go in through the hatches...
...and into the seating area, away from the buffeting wind...
...or if you wanted to be out on deck...
...you could be out on the deck...
...manning the tiller, which is what I did...
...going into somewhere like Istanbul.
I remember it vividly, the sun was going down...
...and we were heading in...
...and I was sitting on the back of a stretch Volvo...
...a Rosy & Jim...
...buyancyadon...
...y...
...might have been drinking one of those...
...very small European beers...
...manning a fictitious tiller...
...and I was also saluting at taxi drivers...
...a nautical salute.
A naval salute.
A naval salute, yeah.
So, could provide an interesting template...
...for what we could do to the eagle...
...I think that was going to be my choice.
Platio-aquatic eagle, wow.
Yeah.
Acra eagle, yes.
A sea eagle, that's a thing.
A sea eagle.
Sí.
Sí, bueno...
Sí, eso es todo.
Esa es mi...
...mi pick, creo, es...
En Fred Meyer consigue tus productos de calidad...
...para las recetas familiares de estas fiestas...
...a precios bajos en cada pasillo.
Fred Meyer, fresh para todos.
¿Qué es eso?
Voy a mover a una pregunta...
...de un escuchante llamado Pete.
Elevó su mensaje en grandes letras...
...con, ¿Puedo arreglar la indulgencia de los sectiones de woodwind?
Esto empieza con una historia...
...en las 90's, Pete dice...
...mi late father...
...was one of the foremen at Dunlop Tires...
...in Washington, in the north-east of England.
One of his fellow foremen...
...was very excited about the imminent arrival...
...of his new car, a top-spec deunexia.
Oh!
He would often regale the team...
...with its surprising amount of equipment...
...long warranty and free servicing...
...all for a rock-bottom price.
Unfortunately, his was a special order car...
...with some optional extras added...
...so delays in its arrival began.
Doubly unfortunate for this gentleman...
...was his co-worker, my dad, John.
My father possessed many exceptional qualities...
...one of which was being a bit of a word smith...
...and he was ahead of the game with computers.
And finally, he was also a witty old bugger.
He started drafting letters on day-u letter heads...
...he created by lifting logos...
...from the Primitive Dayu website...
...and sending them to his colleague.
At first, it was general apologies for delay.
Next, the rear door flange deliveries had been delayed...
...as they were manufactured in a facility in North Korea...
...and the paperwork had snagged up.
Wrong-sized grommets, batteries supplied...
...with a capacity of only nine and a half volts...
...and so on.
The poor chap was livid...
...and then the crescendo...
...a final letter arrived.
Unfortunately, the car transport ship...
...has succumbed to an excessively large tropical storm...
...three days out of port.
However, the day-u export team...
...has managed to charter a Norwegian salvage barge...
...and are hard at work recovering the next year...
...with a team of highly skilled saturation divers...
...working around the clock.
Once recovered, the UK team will be on hand...
...to sort out any remedial work...
...that salt water ingress has caused.
Oh my gosh.
My dad's co-worker was apoplectic.
Finally, after telling everyone on the shift of his plight...
...one of the other foremen in between tears of laughter...
...stool pigeoned my father's prank.
The sign-over sheet that night read only...
...John, F-O-A-D.
I'll leave you to fill that one in.
F-O-A-D.
I know what that is.
Yes, okay, Russ.
And that.
So, Pete's question.
Excellent story, by the way. Thank you for that.
Pete's question is...
...what's the best prank involving a car...
...you have ever perpetrated...
...or been on the receiving end of?
Oh my gosh.
It came to mind. It wasn't a brilliant prank.
It was just a sort of typical dickheadery...
...that you get up to when you're younger...
...you do all these sort of stupid things.
I lived in a big shed house in Birmingham...
...one of my housemates had a mate of his come to stay...
...in his Renault 11...
...which he parked outside our house...
...and we all went to a house party somewhere else...
...and this bloke had a bit of a strop...
...about something...
Oh no.
...and stormed out...
...and I said to my housemate...
...where's he gone? I don't know...
...find him later.
We finally got back to our house...
...and realised that he had come home...
...he couldn't get into our house...
...'cause he didn't have keys...
...so he got into his Renault 11...
...and gone to sleep...
...and there were I think four of us...
...and we decided...
...we could see him fast asleep in there...
...and he had a drink so he's probably completely passed out...
...so we decided we would try and push...
...the Renault down the street...
...there were no other parked cars for a bit...
...so we'll just push him like two doors down...
...and he'll be confused...
...he may even not remember which is our house...
...but there was a tiny...
...almost un noticeable amount of lock...
...on the steering...
...and as we pushed it...
...it started to move away from the curb...
...and go diagonally across the street...
...and I remember we were sort...
...you know we were doing that thing...
...we were sort of a little bit pissed...
...and he was like whispering...
...and he was like...
...just keep going, just keep going...
...and he stopped...
...and the car's in the middle of the road...
...'cause this is the thing...
...the point being that the handbrake was so weak...
...in his old Renault...
...that we could overwhelm it with enough...
...manpower...
...I just remember that we sort of...
...like took stock and went...
...should we just...
...should we just push it back...
...and I was like no...
...'cause now it's an angle...
...keep going...
...other side of the road...
...and there were no parked cars there...
...for a little bit...
...so we just kept pushing it...
...but then it's at the wrong angle...
...and in fact one of the back wheels...
...just went up the curb...
...but then it was tucked in enough...
...it wasn't going to get clipped...
...and we just went right...
...into our house, run...
...go, go, go...
...and we all went...
...I was working up...
...my room was at the front of the house...
...and it was morning...
...by some talking outside...
...and it was the police...
...having a word with this bloke...
Oh no...
...because they driven by...
...and spotted his car at the curb...
...and they'd assumed...
...that he was shitfaced...
...and had just sort of done bad parking...
...yeah...
...and of course...
...they find him asleep in there...
...but they also find him probably...
...smelling a little bit of booze...
...and it's like...
...they take that kind of thing...
...quite seriously...
...the worst thing is...
...he has no idea...
...how the car ended up there...
...but that's not a good thing...
...to say to the police...
...when you smell of booze...
...and your car is parked erratically...
...I'm sorry officer...
...I have no memory of how this happened...
Oh gosh no...
...no...
...it was all...
...he got away with it...
...they didn't arrest him...
...or...
...maybe they breathalysed him...
...I can't remember...
...but yeah...
...he got a proper bollocking...
...and as you can imagine...
...he was apoplectic with rage...
...when he came into our house...
...having sort of figured out...
...that probably...
...we was something to do with it...
...that's a much better story than mine...
...the only one I can think of...
...is...
...a guy that I've talked about...
...on the podcast...
...before...
...who...
...used to mistreat a lot of his cars...
...he had a maestro...
...that we went...
...on...
...the western supermer cruise...
...on once...
...before they put speed ramps...
...on the seafront...
...oh yeah...
...but when we parked it up...

...to like go and have a walk around...
...and look at all the other cars on display...
...like...
...I don't know...
...Codsworth doing donuts...
...and...
...astras with loads of subs in the boot...
...one of my mates got a large portion of chips...
...just as he walked off...
...spread them all over his cars...
...and there was like dive bombing of seagulls...
...for like ages...
...and of course they were scrabbling around...
...and pooing and all sorts...
...so he came back to his car...
...to just find...
...scratch marks...
...turds...
...and bits of chip...
...all in the windscreen scuttle...
...and he was really confused...
...until...
...the guy...
...my friend who'd done it...
...just couldn't hide his laughter...
...and...
...it was admitted...
...that we might have tipped a bucket of chips...
...over his car...
...this is when chips were like...
...60p for a Porsche...
...or something...
...yeah...
...expendable...
...I told the story...
...about...
...in front of...
...speaking of...
...since Pete's dad...
...his nexia prank...
...based in the north-east of England...
...that I was told...
...by most of my lives...
...in fact...
...in Washington...
...in the north-east...
...that...
...I think it was his story...
...he had a mate...
...he had a brand new Rover 200...
...un car...
...y el mes que se había hecho...
...se vio a un amigo de Barbeque...
...y...
...se fue justo...
...abjando su carro...
...y bracando sobre su nuevo carro...
...es muy divertido...
...sí, siempre se vio los los los...
...es un Rover...
...y luego...
...se habían un poco de la gente...
...entendiendo todo esto...
...y...
...y se había...
...por un motivo...
...un todo...
...deja que...

un par de 2.8 estrocas de HKS.
Patrón suscribiros aquí,
para todos los buenos willos que pueden terminar.
Bueno, gracias por ser un patrón.
Es muy, muy, ¿verdad?
Sucríbete.
Ahora,
dice aquí,
en una receta reciente de Berlín,
he wandado a el Cheque Point Charlie Museum,
ubicado, no sorprenderamente,
por el Cheque Point.
Within was a usual litanía de documentos históricos
y relatos de la general,
general miseria,
que parece que han populado la historia de Berlín
durante los últimos 120 años o así.
Por lo tanto,
he sido muy feliz de encontrar que hay, en realidad,
algunas tarjetas también,
para romper la atmósfera general de la opresión y violencia.
En realidad,
hay dos notas,
un mini BL y, más impresivamente,
un set de BMW,
los que han sido usados para asumir a la gente
a través del mundo,
durante los seis años
y después a más diferentes tiempos.
Con esta pregunta de BMW,
este set de BMW,
está en el website de BMW.
Hay una cosa actual que estoy seguro de.
Yo estaba hablando de alguien sobre esto,
sólo el otro día, raro.
¿Verdad?
Sí.
Justo salió,
hablábamos de Iceta,
y dijo,
sí,
y lo famoso,
uno fue usado para asumir a la gente,
entre East y West Berlín,
y eso es, ¿no?
Oh, sí,
veí,
se ve,
se ve,
el asumido de una persona,
tiene un círculo en una balla,
como alrededor de la enjura.
alrededor de la enjura,
exactamente,
exactamente eso.
Sí,
bajo la cita.
Sí.
La persona fue hirvida dentro de una cita en el mini,
y la isetropía
para tener una enjura movida para transportar a un humano en el fondo.
La pregunta para ti es,
si tuvieras que asumir a alguien al lado de la balla,
East a West,
supongo,
pero usas tu juicio.
Y tu had only period correct motoring
para elegir.
¿Qué vas a usar para evitar
el eye de la KGB?
Y él ha asustado una foto
de el asumido de Iceta en el museo,
que he nunca,
he nunca estado en ese museo,
yo muy mucho,
voy a llevar mis niños a Berlín.
Espero ir a Berlín este año,
porque nunca he estado en el museo,
y todo el mundo dice que es genial.
Es fantástico.
He ido a un museo de computación,
fue una de las más pobres cosas que he hecho,
fue muy satisfactoriosa.
Mi hija me ha ido a trabajar
y estaba en un hotel
al lado de la enjura,
y ella estaba abierta
en el mes de la mañana
por una ropa de lion.
Es cierto.
No es algo que esperas en la ciudad,
pero sí,
ok,
así es,
te vas a asumir a alguien.
Puedes asumir a West to East,
¿no puedes tener un spy?
Te vas a asumir a un spy.
Oh, sí.
Te vas a asumir a un spy.
Sí, sí.
No quieres...
¿Tiene sido la Starzy?
¿No es la KGB?
O tal vez es las dos, no lo sé.
Pero bueno, es un minor.
¿Starzy está en tus ojos?
Sí.
¡Fantástico!
Se siente increíble y delicioso,
pero es un show de parodies.
Así que,
porque creo que es la idea
de que se usara un mini y, en particular,
me sentía como si
los guardias no hubieran podido
asumir a alguien ahí
porque el carro es tan pequeño.
Creo que es un elemento de eso.
Un gran mesadero,
todo por eso,
porque
se diría
que hay muchas cavidades
y cosas que podrían hacer para dar a las personas.
Pero eso dice...
¿No se han asumido a los héroes?
Sí, se han asumido.
O sea, los héroes han sido inventados en los 60s, ¿no?
Se han asumido a los héroes,
pero tal vez es una cosa,
que si...
estoy seguro de que han tenido
técnicas para
asumir a las personas.
Sí.
¿Y los miros en los carros?
Se han asumido a los miros.
De nuevo, se han asumido a los héroes.
Sí, se han asumido a los miros.
Me siento que tengo que leer más sobre esto,
porque me encanta las historias de la guerra de la Cold War.
Pero...
Sí.
Hablando de que un gran carro
sería tan obvio,
estoy pensando ahora
sobre
algunas lluvias americanas de los 70s.
Sí.
En particular,
tuvimos,
en un próximo episodio de la Gran Tour,
un continente de Lincoln,
que Jeremy tenía
para un viaje a la costa.
Oh, sí, sí.
Y me lembro,
haciendo toda la investigación
sobre esos carros
a través de ese viaje,
que esa era de Lincoln,
es una industria clave del caro US,
en la que no querían
spending más de lo que tenían,
pero obviamente,
querían hacer un anual
refresh del caro cada año.
Sí.
Y se preocuparon
que los nuevos Cadillacs,
creo que sí,
tenían una nueva plataforma
y tenían más de lo que tenía,
y más de lo que tenía,
a ese punto.
Sí.
Ford no quería spending más de lo que tenía,
extendiendo la base de Lincoln.
Así que ellos justamente
extendieron el descanso.
Yo estoy riendo,
porque sabía que iba a venir.
Así que,
ese continente
tiene un gran número de espacio
adentro del vehículo.
Oh, sí, sí, sí.
Porque ellos justamente
pusieron más descanso
para hacer el caro
parecen más grandes y más impresivos.
Así que,
lo que estoy pensando es,
¿puedes tener a alguien
en el descanso
de un continente de Lincoln?
Ahora, esto es obviamente el 70,
porque este es el modelo del 70.
Entonces, esto es más tarde,
más tarde era.
Sí.
Pero eso es,
tal vez,
tal vez,
las estrellas
son más puestas
del vehículo
que ahora.
Tienes que pensar más lateralmente.
Sí.
Y así que esto
tendría que ser un Oeste a Oeste,
porque donde alguien
tuvo un continente de Lincoln
en el Oeste de Berlin,
este es el país de Trabant.
Pero si es...
Sí.
Tienes que tener
tu espalda arriba,
en el Oeste,
para ir y despegar.
Llevarlos
en el descanso
de un continente de Lincoln del 70,
y solo intenta
no hacer nada en el otro lado.
¿Pero supieras que era
uno de esos
pequeños
bloques de frío
que se desplazan
sobre el gril de radio?
Oh, te podría hacer, ¿no?
Sí.
Esa es una buena idea.
Porque obviamente,
pero lo haces,
lo haces en el winter,
digamos.
Lo haces en el winter
y es bueno y cold
y eso lo justifica.
Sí.
Sí.
Sí.
Mi idea es menos glamorous
que tu,
porque el vehículo es más pequeño.
Voy a ir a Betel,
ok.
Ok.
Obviamente,
muchos de ellos
fueron alrededor
en los 60 y 70.
Y voy a ir
para el 70
Betel,
un super Betel
con el Windscreen de Rapper
y el Struts de McPherson.
Y hay un motivo para eso.
Es porque lo que voy a hacer
es que voy a
despegar a alguien
como un tanque de frío
y ponerlos
en el frente.
Sí.
Voy a
tomar el tanque original,
y voy a poner un pequeño
tanque de frío
que es solo suficiente
para dos galas,
digamos.
Y eso es su tanque de frío,
pero la persona
lleva un tipo de representación
plástica de el tanque de frío
que pueden colar
relativamente,
o cruzado,
relativamente,
porque son muy adecuados
los fríos de Super Betel.
Sí.
Porque tienen diferentes
estiraciones y cosas
y Struts.
Así que pueden ir en eso
y luego pueden
colar.
Pero
podrías hacer el tanque de frío
un poco límico
debajo.
Y el motivo para eso es
que cuando los fríos de frío
van debajo
y tienen los miros,
todos los fríos de frío
pueden son frío
y no seres humanos.
Y, por supuesto,
en el fondo de la venta
tienes el tanque.
Así que te aseguras
de que el tanque
está jugando un poco raro.
Así que, de nuevo,
son como bledillas,
los carros son ricos.
Puedes moverlo.
¿Están otras cosas que?
Porque estoy pensando
que el tanque de frío
va a jeopardizar
el tanque muy pequeño
en cuanto se puede
extender.
Especialmente el tanque
está jugando raro.
Sí.
Pero ¿puedo
solo secretar
un poco,
como un jamjar
de frío,
con un extra pie
que justa frío.
Eso es todo por eso.
Y eso es solo tu sentimiento.
Porque podrías incluso
mezclar otras cosas,
como
lo que es,
que si puedes encontrar
lo que es,
traes los patas
en el centro de los humanos.
Sí.
Es una buena idea.
¿Pilchones?
No, porque probablemente
piensan que es comida,
¿no?
Oh, sí.
Pueden ir por eso.
Quieren cosas
que no se senten bien
a un pata.
No se haran los patas,
pero solo saben
que el pata
va a mover muy rápido.
Lemón.
Patas de lemón.
No sé.
¿Pero que le gustan a Lemón?
No sé.
No tengo que preguntar a mi pata.
Pero creo que
cosas como eso,
pero luego
has preservado
la integridad de tu frío.
Por supuesto,
si es el 60 o el 70,
hay que ser un montón de smoking.
Estás aumentando el riesgo
de todo lo que está pasando.
Pero, creo que
muchos de los carros
han tenido frío, ¿no?
Así que no,
no es suspicioso.
No.
Creo que estamos en algo aquí.
Todo lo que necesitamos ahora
es
para Berlín
ser dividido de nuevo.
Sí.
Bueno,
si yo lo hace
por ahí este año,
voy a ver lo que puedo hacer.
Pero...
Sí.
O sea, eso es una buena pregunta,
¿no?
Es una buena pregunta.
Me voy a seguir reflejando
en los carros
para secretar a las personas.
Pero...
Oye,
tengo que ir
porque alguien me ha messageado
sobre metropartes.
Y esto, por supuesto,
es extremadamente importante
para mí.
Así que
mejor engañar con eso.
Pero si tienes una pregunta para nosotros,
hola
a smithandsniff.com
es el e-mail adverso.
Puedes poner autosalto
en el principio de tu línea
si es una pregunta.
Me ayudará a encontrarlos.
Vamos a hacer esto todo
nuevamente.
Hasta la semana normal, hasta luego.
Adiós.
Adiós a todos.
Fácil.
