LIVE

Hi, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Reload Podcast. My name is Lee Maxwell

and I'm joined as usual by Nigel Lamont and Connor McCann. This is episode 150. Oh, yeah.

It is indeed. We're halfway to another century. Who to thank? There's a... We're chugging along.

As I was going to say, there's a Bon Jovi reference in there. We're halfway there. Yep. Pigeon on a chair.

Johnny Adair. These are lyrics I'd ever heard. No. I go to the wrong bar. You are. So am I to be fair.

We're late. We're late for a very important date. We've missed another week. We did indeed.

Due to work commitments, illness, partial work commitments, partial life being a shit show

generally. So apologies. Be grateful. It's free. It is. So we're back for this one and while we

should have probably done something a little bit to celebrate our 150th episode. We done good in

the hundred, didn't we? We did. We did. We had a proper party and cake and everything. I'm quite

disappointed we don't have cake this time. I'm disappointed we don't have cake any time. In

general. Yep. On a day where there's no cake. That's a bad day. It is. So we're back to talk

about some stuff, some vaguely correlated stuff and... Big news to be fair. A few bits of news

and so we'll crack on. So Connor. You sound tiredly. I am tired and I have the cold.

Oh, she's dosed. Probably not the person who should be hosting us, but there we go.

Wow. We'll have a ton of boost here and I'm cranking it up to 10 or as Spanel Top would say.

I have been to Germany with work. So that's why when I came home, I was home at midnight

last Friday and I was just like, no, if I have to record this weekend, I'd kill myself. I just

messed you guys and I was like, you can do it. I am burned out. I just can't hack it.

Interesting trip. Got to see some nice domestic German cars. I got into the taxi to go to the hotel

and an old Russian man who didn't speak very much English was determined to get me in the

front of the taxi, then give me little sweets and I was like, well, up and going out and going

out nicely. I've got sweets here. And then after all those efforts to get me into the front of

the taxi, he's calculating what way he's going to kill you. I'm pretty sure he's like the sweets

haven't killed him. Is your middle name Dexter? So I've seen what I've seen on the roads. I've seen

a Mark II on the roads out and about just at night as a daily driver. A Mark III and a half cab,

a couple of Mark IVs. Mainland Europe gets a lot more of the older stuff still kicking about because

probably there was more of it being domestic, but also... And it's more impressive in Germany

because the TV, you know, how strict it is? Yes, for their inspections to keep them on the road.

And funny, I was talking. So part of my job involves testing and I was testing in Tuve's

test house, which is TUV. Should you know when you get your coilovers and it says like...

TUV approach. That's the guys that test them. I was at their test house. So they were doing

stuff for us, but also when I was there. So what does TUV stand for? Traditionally,

you need a voice. Oh, it doesn't, that's gone down. I don't actually know what it stands for in

German. Technical something? Probably. I love technical. But talking to those guys and telling

them what we do with cars versus what they do with cars, they couldn't get over the freedom that we

have to modify stuff. Because if they do anything at all, it has to be tested. So it was telling me

there was a company, he says it's quite difficult for small startups to make

products and sell them because their ring has to be tested. Very costly. Yes. So there was a crowd

that brought in a replacement chassis for a Land Rover. Built to the exact same specs,

galvanized, blah, blah, blah, just built on replacement. It has to be certified. So they

do all these like twist tests and deflections and stuff. And if it doesn't perform to within a

millimeter of factory, then it fails and you have to start again. And it's just, it's crazy.

Yeah. And they couldn't get, I was talking about. And the joke is if you took 10 factory,

once they probably wouldn't all deform in the same way or act in the same way.

Especially from something from the 70s. Yeah. So chatting with those guys, I was telling them

like what I've done to the mark two with like R32 bricks, make up my own rear brick hit. And they

were just like, I may as well just told them I killed a child. You know, it was just like his

eyes were wide open. And it's like, this is really mad. But yeah, it was impressive. And then

it was funny. So they test all different aspects of cars and aftermarket parts, new AM parts.

And I was walking in one morning and there was two AMG seats sitting out the front.

So these were like expensive looking front seats. They weren't like AMG line. They were like proper

high bolster pinned on AMG BADs, but also had the old AMG round crest. Like the, it's very,

almost like the Alfa Romeo BADs, like very messy looking like embossed into the headrest.

Like these sort of, I was like, this is my high end car. And he was like, oh yeah,

this is going in the skip. We're going to set the airbags off. Do you want to watch? And I was

like, yeah, please don't. So the pull the badges off, slash the leather with a knife, set the airbags

off and fucking into the skip. And I was like, good retrim would sort them out. And I was like,

wonder could I get them home? I reckon I would be sacked out of there in the first week pulling

stuff out of Ben Hogan. Oh, another set of car was missing. Where could they be going?

And that's where you test them. So it's very interesting. But yeah, it was, it was interesting

insight to that. So that's where I have been. Do you want to know what TV stands for? Go for it.

Technischer über Vakundseer, which translates to Technical Inspection Association.

Oh, there we go. So you have a TV and a V in there. And the U has the V dots over it. Yes.

My German isn't very good. Australia and Germany.

Australia. Certified to inspect and test products, technologies and vehicles ensure

safety, quality and compliance with the regulations. It doesn't say anything about

and they do it across all industries. You know, it's, it is interesting.

What's the size of a place? A big place. A subsidized canteen as well, boy.

Oh, like how's the parliament or storming? Oh, and like,

full on like, really good food as well fed. Proper job. Got home. And then last weekend,

last Sunday through the TT and the ramp, finally, to get a look at what was happening.

And still remember, I said I'd ruled out the bushes because it wasn't doing the dry.

And when I looked at them the last time, they were fine. Yeah.

When I put it up again, I looked at the bushes and I was like,

they're not broken up, but they look funny. They're all over the one side. It turned out,

the bushes are the fault. So do the metal sleeve that runs through the center of them.

It has delaminated from that and they're just moving along the sleeve. So my back wheels have

basically been like toe in and out like rear wheel steer. So that's why it's fun.

Scrubbed the two back tires off as well, which is fantastic. So thankfully we're getting to it.

Lee's Christmas present come in quite handy. Yes, my bushes have been stolen.

So the bushes for the R32 are the exact same for the TT.

I mean, they've been liberated for the cause.

So I went on, ordered replacement ones of those. Stephanie and I had them banged in and what,

two hours. But the problem is the body brake lines, the ones that come down the car,

go to those brackets and you have to take them off and being 25 years old, they just disintegrated.

So then I had to put two brake lines on, which then meant the driver's side rear runs out over

the top of the tank, which to do that, then you have to drop the exhaust, prop shaft, tank and

subframe. Delightful. Delightful. And I was like, I will break this car before I do that.

So I managed to get the line fished out over the top, clip it into the clips to the other side,

and I was like, that'll do me. It's secured, but the tank straps, it can't come down

and got them up. The only problem is now you can't get the fucker bled. So I think this happened

in the Bora before. I think there's error in the ABS block. So if I come, I have a calm there,

just need the time to do it. So cycle the ABS system and I like vibrates there out of it. It's

odd sounding thing. Witchcraft. Yes. It takes a fucking age to do as well, but thankfully we're

getting there with it. So that's nice. What else? Oh, I managed to get breakfast out of my eye as

well when I was doing that. So that was fun. Oh, that's a real treat. Oh, oh, yeah. That

definitely doesn't stink for days. Funny, I had an incident during the week and I'm still

numbing the fingers. I was up the farm, was pulling the saddle wheels out to put up for sale,

then I had a twin spoke or twin cycle. And I was taking a picture of the farm

and the tires were a wee bit dirty. So I thought I'd give them a wipe, but I'd no tire shine or

anything. But then I found a ton of tire shine, but I had no wee cap on it for spraying it.

Okay. So I just thought, right. Oh, no, you don't have your nails.

One of my fingers went white. They're still tingling. You'll probably find that it's not

probably the product, the tire shine product, but the actual aerosol. So you'll have like

frozen damage to your nerves on it. Yeah. And you're like, like frost burning nearly?

I thought I've given myself frostbite here. They're starting to come around, but flip me.

Aye, that'd not be nice. That'll be horrible feeling. There was like a burning feeling

on it yesterday, but it's starting to come. Yes. Aye. Yeah, that's exactly what it'd be like.

So don't lose your caps. I still haven't. I was supposed to be working on Stefan's

car as well. Yeah, but I haven't good near with that. So it's pretty much.

Yeah, I was supposed to be working on my car, but somebody else has been on the lift.

And what else? Yeah, that's pretty much all with me. What would you guys?

Well, terrible weather and all flutton galore. The past two weeks or three weeks, I have just

the style of Chef Pan and I'm on last three weeks. It's just been very little breaks and days

off and stuff like that. Now I'm coming in the period of the Chef pattern where I will get time

off. Yes. But even when I was off, it was just passion, measurable. What could you do?

All right. Weather worn after a weather worn. So done very little. I think I talked about fitting

the rear brace and the club sport. Yes. I don't think everything else done.

You couldn't even get at the cars out and enjoy them because of the weather.

Yeah, as fair as I got the club sport out on one of the dry mornings there Thursday or Friday,

I'm giving a proper full clean and I have it in the shed. And until it starts to brighten up,

I think it'll stay there for a month or two. When you've went to that after a clean knit,

you don't really want to. Like if it are there, if I want to go out and have a blast.

But the roads are in shade at the moment. I was telling you about a car being put on to.

Yes. So it was a 928 I think it is. 928.

989. If you ever watched Top Gear and Clarkson's talking about the time his dad was down and he

went illegal speeds along the motorway. Yes. It was this car that my brother put it on to

through a friend of a friend. And so there's proper V8 with Porsche turbo wheels on it.

Abandoned for 20 years. So I went this afternoon after the cars and coffee look at it.

And I'd previously been told by my brother who had looked at it for me and said,

I think that'll be a few hundred pounds. Because what had happened is the man's house,

who is an organ, the wife had basically said, get that out of the garage. I want the garage back.

Okay. So she had pulled it out a year or two ago.

And now she wants the yard cleared. And he's like, do whatever you want with it.

I thought happy days. I'll buy that. I'll have a look at it and see what way it's fixed.

Might put it in the shed or might just break it because there is valiant.

And again, in my head, I thought a few hundred pounds going to lift us.

And your man just popped my bubble this afternoon.

Do you ever say the wife was happy? She was happy with that.

And he was like, no, this. Yeah.

So he's like, yeah, I'll sell it, but I'll make it hard to sell.

Yeah. And I just thought, here, good luck to you, man.

What's the point?

Marketplace is going to be a hell of a ride for you.

Oh, fuck that. But better put them up for 10 grand to weed out the arseholes.

They're making good money now, then.

Oh, then? Yeah.

To what they're an ugly car.

Oh, absolutely terrible.

Because I said, the 944 is beautiful.

The 928, I just can't warm them at all.

They're just, yeah.

Is the 928 the successor to the 944?

Or were they alongside them? I don't know.

I'm not that good about Porsches to be honest with you.

I know a man listening to this, we would know.

He'd just be shouting at the microphone.

Yep. But it looks solid enough, and the tear looked good.

Lovely and tearing them.

But a big massive auto box, I don't know.

Ice is not a big slusher.

Sports car.

Yeah. Sports car on his day.

A grand tour, you would call.

Yes.

But no, nothing. Nothing may end really apart from that.

Sorry.

No, go ahead.

No, I was just going to talk about it.

We'll talk about it, actually.

What would you like?

A suite of A. I'm afraid.

Well, there we go.

Hopefully. Soon I will have updates on hour 32,

because I'll actually be able to do something to it.

And get her on the ramp.

As long as I can get Brexit, we're all good.

It's currently sitting at the kitchen window, because...

You want to drop breakfast at all?

Exactly.

It was sitting at the kitchen window yesterday, actually.

It was yesterday, and I walked through to the kitchen.

I was working in here and just caught my eye.

And it wasn't sunlight, because it was no sun,

but just the kind of the light was hitting it.

And I was like, that's such a nice color.

It's because you haven't seen it in so long as in Takro, eh?

It is hard to beat.

I still like it.

That's good.

Caught my insurance renewal for the superb.

So that was nice, because it came down.

I'm sorry, what are you paying for that TV?

Are the suburbs all?

Last year, I paid 700 on 70 quid, I think.

What happened to getting older on the insurance?

Business miles, I don't mind.

Oh, I have not the category one business, but I have the...

If you're going somewhere, get paid for it, sort of thing.

Business miles, I have found ramps insurance up.

I remember, it was years ago, but Aaron Craney, who listens to this.

Do you remember Craney from years ago?

We used to run around with him.

And he had a Mark V GTI, a black one on hydraulics, if you remember.

And he tried to put business miles on it, but it wasn't big miles on it.

They just wanted like a couple of thousand or whatever.

And I think the insurance went clean through the roof and it was like,

nah, I can't do this.

Yeah.

It's weird.

So they'll take a car with it?

Possibly, I or the age or what, but I know your car will probably,

or your insurance will probably have half the price if it will huddle up business on it.

Yeah, because what is it?

A nine-year-old diesel?

Superb.

So it came down to like 560 or something this year.

Good drop.

Doesn't happen too often.

Here's one for you.

Remember the C5 or S6 I had?

Yes.

Like the O3 one?

Mm-hmm.

That was probably 15 years ago, or less than 15 years ago?

Maybe 10.

Yeah.

I remember more here.

Probably 2012 or 13, I think I had it.

I had the Mark III at the time.

It was 520 quid, didn't you?

That's pretty good.

Because that car would only have been what?

Because I remember being offered it.

It was a trade-in on the Toyota Honda Garage,

Belfast Mark Rilleford sort of made it with.

And I says, Mark, get me 10 months here to phone the insurance company,

just this isn't telephone numbers.

You're probably thinking, I'll never get the insurance.

So I just said, right, I'm thinking of changing this car.

And my current insurance was 420 or something.

It went all over a pound, and I nearly laughed down the phone and went,

right, can you change that over now, please?

I knew it.

And just walked down and said, there's money.

You could have been early to mid-30s then too.

Long time ago.

Well, I think it's partially, I had a claim on my insurance

when our house was broken into and my car keys got stolen.

So it was a no fault claim, blah, blah, blah.

And they say that doesn't affect your insurance, but it absolutely does.

I think it does.

But that was five years ago in December.

And so it's now over five years.

So the loading has downloaded?

It does affect your insurance because it infected my insurance

because you were on with the Mark II at one point.

And they actually, they rang me back and they go,

you've acclaimed me, haven't told us about it.

And I was like, I can tell you now, I don't.

I absolutely do not, sir.

And they're like, oh, we'll do, and blah, blah, blah.

And then it turned out to be Lee.

And I was like, for fuck's sake.

Fuck, I'd never claim off them again, the hers.

That's it.

You think you're doing the right thing, like, and no.

So.

But I've decided I'm keeping the superb for another wee while.

So I'm sort of putting off doing a bit of work to it because.

You're going to sell it.

I was going to sell it, but no, I'm not.

So I'll do some work to tidy it up, put the new bonnet on it

after how long, three or four months,

it's been sitting in the garage and hopefully.

Do you know you're doing me for another wee bit.

So I'm glad.

Do you know what?

I'm glad because I've said all along,

I don't particularly want to change the car.

It's a good car.

I like it.

Oh, well, it's only 186, I think.

That's a 19 plate.

17.

That's impressive.

I'll take her over 200.

It'll do no problem.

Yeah, interstellar.

Like Lee's car does quite literally.

They knew everybody's on motorway miles.

Lee is on the motorway 24 seven.

And it gets no hurt.

It gets long runs, you know, the DPF,

like you drop that car in to get with Paul to do something.

And he was like, I'll look at the DPF.

It's bound and he done as well to get it cleaned.

And when he took it off, it didn't need cleaned.

Let's get in the motorway man.

About like 160,000 miles or something stupid.

So that was good.

Talk about Paul.

He had a very good week.

I was chatting to him about the rallying.

The rallying.

Yes.

How many has that Rover Monte Carlo rally?

He was chatting about going to Finland in August.

He wasn't.

Yeah.

Show me prices and stuff.

That looks good.

Yeah, he was telling me about it the other day on the phone.

It looked very, very good.

So that you then?

Yeah.

Okay. Anybody, any news, news?

Before we move on, just a few orders of house or whatever you call it,

getting the house in order.

Um, dub shed is like just over 60 days away.

Shh. No, it's not.

No.

Any car builders out there?

Shit, your pants now.

Oh, let's get in closer where the time this goes out.

So.

Have we another, have another Rick entries going out tomorrow?

Tomorrow, another entries.

So the 1st of February, the 1st of February, the 2nd,

we have the 1st wave of accepted entries has went out on the middle of June or something.

Yeah.

It's going to be a wave this Sunday or you're hearing this now.

Just passed.

It's going to be another wave and then the final day on the 1st of March,

28th of February, something like that, the 7th.

Start of March, basically.

It's going to die.

And then outdoor entry selection will be open then shortly after.

Very good.

But yeah, entries looking good.

A lot of cool cars entered.

A lot of really good stuff.

And like I was saying the other day, I can remember who was on the phone too.

I think it was actually Colin.

I was like, a lot of what I would call like the heavy headers from here,

like the regulars haven't even entered yet because they know not to.

Because a couple of people have messaged me going, should I enter now?

I says, if you're not ready.

Don't do it to me too.

Yeah.

Because it's not first come first serve.

So it's good.

That's the way I put it too.

But yeah, it's been interesting to see what's coming out.

It's nice to be inside and know what cars are riding about in the scene as well.

It's just nice.

And a little taster of that before we move on to news news was we had a cars and coffee today.

Did you?

Today is the 31st of January.

And we had a charity cars and coffee at Black Lane Performance in Moira in the air ambulance.

And victim zone success is probably the word.

Yes, it was very busy.

It's, it was too busy for that site.

But very well done.

And thank you to everybody that donated with a final total.

I think it's 1350, but air ambulance has got the money now.

So they can just make sure I can count and verify that.

So that's good.

No, good, good way to get some of the cars and car guys out.

Just stand and chat and get caught up again and get ready for the show season.

Well, that's good.

And like we were talking to one of the guys involved with their ambulance and like it shocked me when

they were saying it was like, it's eight grand a day, like minimum to run that.

Yeah.

And it's a charity, you know, and you're like, well, it's a charity like anybody could use

because you have a road accident, bike accident, dining at all.

And I think he said it's nearly up every day.

Yes.

He says it goes out on average a bit twice a day.

So there's always something happening.

Like it's not going out for good reasons.

Yeah.

If it's a slow day, they'll just maintenance, you know, do a flight as well.

Like, but very worthwhile charity.

And we'll have another cars and gov in March, I think it's planned for.

I think it is.

At store performance, the sponsor of dub shed and looking forward to that.

We'll raise a bit more money there and hang out, chill out, enjoy cars.

Have a crack before the season kicks off.

Absolutely.

So thanks to Gavin of Blacklight for hosting us.

And apologies to DB Tiling for taking over this car park being overrun and etc.

But yeah, thank you very much for everybody that came today.

That was a good turnout.

Yeah.

Much better than I expected with the weather.

Yeah.

We must have weatherworn him by one day.

Yes.

This past year has just been weatherworn after weatherworn.

Oh, it's brittle.

It's mental.

Mental.

Well, one with the news then.

Absolutely.

Off the back of that, I think this ties in with some of your news here Lee.

Yeah.

But the weatherworn and the roads are absolutely destroyed at the minute.

Cause the floods lie and then that just the potholes.

I had never seen potholes like it.

It's shocking.

So when I was in Germany and our group chat, there was,

there was talk of a pothole going out of Bambridge.

Yeah.

And someone took a photograph and there was what eight cars lined up on the side of the road.

They had.

With busted wheels.

Busted wheels from this one pothole.

I was, they're fucking brittle.

Well, there was news thing came up on my Facebook there the other day of a funeral car

going to Rosalon.

Which is the cemetery?

The crematorium in Belfast.

A funeral director from Arma.

And they, I was going to say the wedding, not the wedding car.

The bereaved.

The family limo, the funeral car,

head of pothole and busted two towers on the one side with the bereaved family.

In the car.

Waiting to go on the way to the crematorium.

No way.

Which is a time slot.

Yep.

So that was horrible.

Aye, the roads are so, so bad too.

And there's no way they're getting fixed because

storming is a clown show.

Yep.

And they have the budget for it.

The biggest joke this week was the finance minister or

as the finance minister who's overseeing the reform of the rates.

Basically set out this new scheme where all the buildings were reevaluated

and some bars and hotels in particular got horrific increases

like we're talking 60, 70% increase in rates.

In a time where, well.

The race problem.

Now Gallagorm is a big business.

I think they take into account the revenue too.

But somebody could correct me on that.

Gallagorm's rates bill was projected to go up from 400,000 to 1.3 million.

Just the rates?

Yeah.

So yeah, that's.

And there was a hotel open by Castle or somewhere.

And it was going up 300,000.

A local, local Domain, Cumber.

It's a restaurant in Lisbon.

It was go up to 64,000.

So that's literally just a tax to open.

Yeah.

And that's what they have to find before they do anything else.

Yet they're also providing employment to people who pay tax.

That's why I don't understand like surely that should be linked in some way.

I'm sure it's the same way as pay by E.

You know, you tax the people that are working.

If you take more money off and they can't spend it,

the generated production productivity and the economy.

Aye.

No, you're doing is getting it off people that are working to.

It's a shit show.

And funny, I was talking with Gab in a black line today,

a bit like different business and stuff.

And he was saying a bit like he was explaining like the rates that he has.

And never mind even your wage bill and stuff like that.

But like the rates just to open.

It's fucking nuts.

Like, and you can see why a lot of businesses are struggling or don't do well, you know,

and just every couple of days on Belfast Live or RS News or Newsletter,

such and such a cafe shop now, such and such a restaurant.

People have been business 20 years and just I've had enough.

Why am I buying mail?

I guess.

Well, no.

Well, Joe here is not getting any easier for people with new driving license,

but it are about to get through driving.

Yes.

Yeah.

You guys seen this?

Yeah.

So let's talk about what's doing the rounds all over social media

is the new licensing reforms in Northern Ireland anyway,

but potentially the rest of the UK.

Yes, we're the trial monkeys.

Yeah, I heard that we were the trial monkeys

and they were going to roll it out elsewhere.

Well, sure.

Northern Ireland was the trial for our plates.

And then they just never took them away, but never, never instated them.

They didn't like it, but they just kept it.

So the UK governments actively looking at tackling how new drivers are licensed,

mainly to tackle the fact that young and newly qualified drivers

are massively overrepresented in serious crashes.

I would like to see him figure.

So would I, to be honest,

but the question is are the letting people on the road too quickly with not enough

experience or lessons, basically.

And as always, Northern Ireland is the test bed.

That's the big one.

But the big thing people are missing is like a lot of people don't realize this.

And you guys have just confirmed it is Northern Ireland have already confirmed

that they're doing it.

Northern Ireland are they've signed up and went, yep, we're doing this.

And it's coming in here from October 26th, where the rest of the UK

are going to see what happens and then decide whether they do it or not.

Go from there.

I wonder how long it'll be a trial for.

It hasn't even said that.

Yeah.

It's the technicalities of it.

As far as I can understand, you can't go for your test for the first six months.

Yes.

You have to basically get experience and do a logbook or something.

Do a logbook with your lessons and say what you've done and how you've done it.

And then once you pass like the six month mark, you can start

applying for your test, basically.

Once you get the test for the first two years, you're classified as a restricted driver,

which we already are for one year here.

The rest of the UK aren't, but that means the rest of the UK going to get our plates.

Finally, the one thing it did notice was, so here, if you're on our plates,

you're restricted to 45 miles per hour everywhere, including on the motorway,

which is insane.

That's going away.

So you will still be on our plates, but they're doing away with the restriction of 45 miles

per hour, which is good.

The other thing they'll be doing is things.

They'll have passenger limits to the amount of people you can have in the car.

And you can, and especially at nighttime, there'll be restrictions on times you can drive

and how many people you can have in the car at certain times throughout the day.

I agree with that because the amount of crashes you hear about are A, at nighttime,

and involve multiple people in the car.

And that's the thing.

And that's, they've done the research, you know, to a certain extent you can see from that.

I kind of, I understand because, and we said all along,

speeding, you know, speeding is the one they always go after.

And we said it's not a driver education.

So now they actually are trying to do something with driver education.

I'm not sure they've got it right, but I do think it's the right area to be focusing on.

Well, that's the real question is, is this about safety or is it to be seen to be doing

something? Or are they jumping in two foot tackle and going, we're going to do this and

haven't thought about it, which is quite normally the government's way of doing anything.

Or are they properly tackling this? Because

in my opinion, they're taking the easy route and getting them

at the early stages of your driving career and saying young people this and young people that.

Because realistically, as we've talked about before, retesting older drivers

is very unpopular because that's your voting base.

So they're not going to bring that in. Cracking down on mobile phone use and other things like

that and distractions is quite hard to do because you can't be everywhere at all times

as much as the government want to be. I'm surprised they didn't make black boxes compulsory.

So am I. But like that's that insurance? They nearly made that compulsory anyway.

For young people. The government didn't have to do that.

They didn't have to. It kind of happened by the insurance going, well,

you can either have a black box and have still an expensive but more reasonable price for your

insurance or you can pay us five grand. Well, here's the thing. Does this mean the black box

isn't working? Well, that's a very good point. You know, if the black box was doing its job,

then this wouldn't be an issue. Yeah. And the other thing is we've just talked about this.

Is it our plate drivers that are having these crisis or the drivers after the

after our plates that just go mental? Well, the actual test itself is bullshit because

you do your test low speeds and at no point during your lessons or your test have you ever been on

the motorway. So you don't know how to merge onto the motorway and merge back off at first start.

You don't know how to drive. So suddenly you're told, oh, no, you can't go onto the motorway.

And then as soon as you get your test, you go, I know you have no experiences, but

good luck on it under the motorway. Go for it. Some of the busiest roads ever seen.

I'm as born in Christmas Eve. I got my license when I was 15, my provisional. I was on the road

the day I turned 16 legally because it was definitely not long before that. Yeah. And

17, I was like, I couldn't wait to do my fucking first driving lesson. I was doing my bike in my

car at the same time. The problem was Christmas Eve, nobody's gonna do a driving lesson Christmas

Eve, so I do it to the new year. But my dad was adamant that I got an instructor,

my instructor took me out at night to do night lessons as well just to get used to it. Cause

he was like, there's no point in passing your test. And then suddenly you're driving the night

and it's quite literally a whole new world and certain Aladdin theme. But like,

that's the thing. Like the other thing I have down here is like, and we talked about this

two fucking minutes ago is fix a road design and infrastructure, but it's too expensive to do it.

So they're trying to target.

Should people have them crashing now because it's day of the road?

Well, I know that I'm coming up and constantly keeping my eye on the birds instead of what's

coming at you. What's coming at you and trying to hold out closer. And then people are probably

doing the same on the other side coming towards you closer to the middle line to try and keep

away from potholes because I don't want to break away. Like I've experienced this

with my daughter who recently passed her test. Yep. And like I've been out in Lesnar and she's

just crashed over potholes and it's really freaked her out. Oh, yeah. You know,

what you've had, especially when you're inexperienced.

And like, you had a pothole right away, it'll pull you into the oncoming traffic

or wreck your wheel or whatever, you know, but

Well, if you had a pothole in your tableau site,

what happens after that is, who knows? The thing I do agree with is the people in the car

that sort of rule had with Jack and Rachel when they passed her test is only have one

passenger for the first few weeks because you need to get familiar with your environment

without an instructor beside you and distractions and things like that. I actually agree with you

on that too. And we'll sort of didn't let them go at night time in the winter when Rachel, she

she had her test in the winter. Different if you're going out with them and you can help them

whatever. But yeah, it is it's odd. But yeah, there's a lot to be talked about. And there's a lot

to see. I have no doubt in my mind they will fuck this up in some way. To me, that's that sounds,

yeah, I can understand why they're doing it. But the first thing comes to mind, that sounds

like a lot admin admin and more cost. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And who's going to get passed on the cost?

The driver. Yeah. Oh, the the driver instructors put them. They'll put the prices up. The government

will go, you know, we have more to do here. We have more to do here. You know, we have to do these

logbook entries. So it's sort of reminds me of that scheme. Rachel Rees brought out about the

what was it? She was for doing electric cars. And then she was questioning and she hadn't

actually been going to implement it. Oh, no, we're going to do this. But how are you going to do it?

Oh, you'll log your mileage in MOT. Cars don't get MOT for the first four years.

Yeah. Although decided. Well, here's another one in similar vein. So there's a currently

consultation going through for reduced speed limits in Northern Ireland.

Okay, reduced speed limits. Reducing the speed limits.

They've looked at wheels and copied their homework.

Fuck, the south. Well, the south are reducing all the errors, obviously.

That's right. Wheels don't first. But that's what my exact thinking was.

Wheels did it. Realized it was a fucking nightmare and have revoked a lot of it.

Oh, really? But now Northern Ireland are like, well, that sounds good. Oh, let's do that.

So I urge all our listeners to go to consultations at NI Direct and voice your opinions on the

speed limit matters. Not that it'll particularly probably make a difference if they've decided

they're going to do it. They're probably going to do it. But at least let's give it a try. Have

your say. It's for reduce the 30s to 20s. Oh, so there's I feel like I'm going backwards in the

I know options to get rid of it. That's horrible. What do you think is best for should it only be

done in certain areas around schools, city centers and so on. Quite a lot of alpha city

center already is 20. Yeah. Or should it be all 30 mile on our roads or should it be this, this,

this and then there's one for I think there's one for the motorway, which is dumb, because if

anything, the motorway speed limits should be increased. But the other end of the consultation,

when you get through those questions, is they're considering increasing the limit for HDVs to

allow them to do faster death for us all up to 60 on motorways. That's weird. So all the other ones

were proposing to decrease speed limits. But for HDVs, we're proposing to increase their limit.

Must be a big lobby group behind them. That's an interesting one. I don't understand that.

So consultations are open till I think the 22nd of April or something. So the problem is the

majority of people will consider will go that there will be in their fifties, sixties and seventies

and go slower, please. Yeah. These main x driving past me at 40 miles an hour on the motorway.

These days, young whippers. This doesn't concern me. So fuck everybody else.

Did I tell you about getting the front of the said traffic lights? No.

So I was coming out of Belfast and I was it's a three-lane sort of part of the road in inner

Belfast. And I was in the outside lane, car in the car, the outside car in the middle and then car

me in the other lane. And I needed to get to the far lane. And as I was coming up to the lights,

they were stopped. The lights went green. You're like on the pin. And I just sort of went right

okay. Got well past them. Indicator, indicator. All I seen in the back was the middle car flashing

away like Malawi. How you and I, I shit box, whatever it is. I just went, what's wrong with

something fell off my car here, something. And I sort of pulled up for the next satellite to see

what was wrong, put the window down. And a moment or mid sixties, turn right went you maniac. And

then our next words that came out of her mouth, you should know better at your age.

You should have said you should be in bed praying for a hobby death.

And I was going, what exactly did I do wrong there? I was moving, you were stopped. I moved in

the lane using indicators. Oh, you're driving like a maniac. Maybe in your eyes, but I wasn't.

And I just drove off. And to be honest with you, the statement, you should know better at your age

absolutely stabbed me in the heart. My dad, my dad has something with an owl doll.

I can't remember what happened. There was something happened.

And she was slobbering on him. She's been real bitch. And he said to her, he says,

do you know what your problem actually is? And he's wanting to go, you're an ugly owl bastard.

And he, your face is dropping. He says, and do you know what the best place is?

You're not even ugly on the outside. You're ugly right to the core.

Get right in there. I just fucking wind the window up and fucked up.

He's like, I hope it's sad with her. I'll be replaying her head. Yep.

Yeah. I realized maids that day. That's it. She was pulling up. I was in the R.

We sported cars. She was back in some boy in her 20s or 30s on her face.

She was just like, you're a maniac. And then she looked over and just went, you should know better

at your age. And at the time you really want to say something smart, but you're just like,

some fucking pensioner tackled me in bomb bridge one day. That's right. I was parking.

Now, if I do say so myself, I'm an excellent parallel Parker. Okay. It's one of my

skills. And I parked and the car was fully within the space, fully within the lines.

It's a large car, but it was absolutely in no way impeding anyone or over the lines of the spaces

or anything. And she was behind me in a fiesta or something. Now, my car was the full of the space,

but in the lines, her car was like half the space. And she's like, I never get out there.

Were you parked there? And I was like, you need to move and all. And I was like,

I turned back around and looked and looked back and looked at her car and looked again.

And I was like, if you can't get out of that space, you shouldn't be driving.

Yeah. Excellent to share. I love you need to do this because I love to remind people that I need

to do fuck all. I need to do what I need to do. I need to do nothing. You need to fuck off.

I have a good story for you after this recording. I can't tell it.

Well, and more happier news because we've been talking about this and that. So here's some happy

news from Speed Freaks and adrenaline junkies, Red Bull coming in strong as usual with their events.

They're bringing back the soapbox race to Belmont or De Belfast in 2026 at the Stormont estate.

That must be well over 10 years. It was last round. And they've done the ice one as well.

That's right. So yeah, it's 17th of May, Sunday the 17th. It'll see 40 teams go head to head.

Funny, funny stuff to watch. I'll just go through actually a very good how to play guide.

Are they doing it at Stormont down the hill? Yeah. Oh, that'll be good.

So there's no nine out applications process. So that sounds very familiar.

And you can upload photos or sketches. And then step three is a team selection.

And then you go and build your car. Sounds almost like dub shit. Only step four is usually before

step three. But do you think Red Bull have been looking at our applications and went,

those guys know what they're at. I love that soapbox. They'll be watching it on TV because

the reckons people get. I don't know how more people aren't injured. They do the flip tag,

which is throwing the plane off the end of the sea. Yes. And they do the ice one, they do soapbox.

They all cool events. The cliff diving, they don't let down the cliff somewhere there.

Actually, Paul Scott from Cumber, he's health and safety advisor. He helps us out with dub shit.

He organizes it or he helps, you know, sort all that stuff out. God love him. So

how do you even start to be the health and safety advisor for a load of loan attacks jumping off a

cliff? I think a lot of solicitor letters and disclaimer forms is probably the best way.

I think his job was more to do with protecting the public than the people who are stupid enough

to do it. But Cumber had a soapbox race. They had one on hand. It was one of the best events

Cumber had. Forget the potato festival. The potato festival is shit hot. I know that.

And the Christmas fair is very good too. But the soapbox race, they don't down high,

straight and Cumber. If you're from that area, it's a very steep hill.

It's probably 200 meters. Yeah, about 200 meters from top to bottom and a big, you know,

elevation dip. And there must have been 50 or 60 teams. And they don't necessarily close the road

necessarily. And they don't from two o'clock right through eight o'clock. And the town was buzzing

and they finished in the square. There must have been a couple of thousand people watching

that. Cumber is actually very good layout for that note you're describing that. Yeah.

It was such a good event. It happened once and it was through the council.

This is a great event. This is a great event. This is a great event. And the council next year

went, the insurance is too dear. No. Well, so they're going to cancel the northwest remember

over the insurance. But then DEP stepped in. Got her sorted. Yeah, like some of the reckons you see

and that it's funny when it happens. Usually it's all over YouTube and you get like maybe an hours

footage of it. And it's just people and you're like, every time they had a ramp, you're like,

please let it will come off, please let it will come off. You're looking to see the pain. Oh,

yeah. That hurt. That's good to hear coming back to that class. Yeah. Like Red Bull, they really

do put on good events. Oh, they do. I forget what you call the skiing one. So that was teams

of downhill skaters. Something nice it was called. But I remember Paul telling me it was 2.4

million pound for them to put that on to run it to run it. The stuff that Red Bull do though,

it has to be like their market and budget must be in its humongous, absolutely humongous.

Because you think what are they doing? They're an energy drink company. They don't do anything else.

Yeah. And the cartoons are probably the most effective advertising campaigns because it's

essentially recognizable. Yeah. And they're so basic and simple. And then the exclusivity of

you can't buy a plain Red Bull cap, right? Well, you're probably in Thailand or something. Yeah.

But apparently only Red Bull athletes get the caps that just say Red Bull on them. Like the

somebody can call me out in this. But I remember what he called the Norwegian boy that had the

crazy RS4 Olsen or whatever it be called. He said to one day only Red Bull athletes get the actual

Red Bull caps. Everything else has like Red Bull racing team or you know, but it just has a real

Red Bull logo on it. So I'd like that to be confirmed, but Jonathan has to be calling it.

Yes. He chatted about that in his vlogs. He used to vlogs years ago.

Well, speaking of lunatics. I'm sitting on this one. This speaks to me.

A man in London called Kevin Rees was arrested by counter terrorist police after what was

described as a low sophistication of improvised explosive device.

Damaged a U.S. camera in London in December 23. Skim read the story, but didn't look into it.

So basically he made a homemade bomb from black powder. What do you call

blade runners? Yes, they were cutting them down. Blade runners, they cut them.

So U.S. cameras records what cars and vehicles in and out of London. And then you get charged

per day for emissions and a whole load of bollocks and electric cars when I get in charge.

And they were cutting them down. This boy just had to go out and blow one up.

So we basically made a pipe bomb and to be honest with you, like he damaged stuff a hundred meters

away. So it's a real blast. He made it overcooked. What sort of materials were you using? Black

powder. So like pretty basic, you know. Although this did happen here years ago,

the RA tried to blow up Kregav and PlayStation and they did blow it up, but they went a bit

spicy with it and they used a thousand pound fertilizer bomb and a transit. And they flattened

the PlayStation, flattened part of the school and sat fire to the church beside it. It was,

it was spicy. Full on. Yeah. So obviously explosives can be hit or miss.

For the younger listeners out there, the formula of fertiliser in this country had to be

readjusted. Yes. In the 80s to take certain because nitrogen or fertilizer used to be

very explosive. Yes. Under the right conditions under and with the right mixture of stuff.

That's right. Actually, yeah, it's funny things you take for granted here and aren't normal in

other countries. So that's what crackpot country we live in. It's great. But yeah, he damaged,

he took the side out of a transit van, pierced tires and cars. Somebody's from Portugal,

blown down and it blew the front window out of an upstairs bedroom of a child's bedroom in a house.

Have you ever watched any of the videos then boys cutting the

No, I haven't. I seen one the other day and I tell you what, they have balls rush our traffic.

This boy just starts filming and he just pulls the clava, pulls the clava down. He doesn't see

his full face and he just goes like he gives a thumbs up or something and crosses this rush our

road. I said that around about and just ding. There's people who wasn't walking past them.

Well, ahead of the crime prosecution services, this is not an act of protest or momentary vandalism.

It's a deliberate and dangerous act involving a homemade explosive device carried out in a

residential area designed to destroy public infrastructure. So terrorism act, did he get

sentenced? He's been sentenced. It's coming up. I would say he'll get 10 years easily.

Because you get 10 years for kind of like an unregistered gun and that's probably going to be

worse and they will make an example out of them I'm sure too. On a separate note of...

63 years old, he'd be old when he gets out. He could die in jail.

On a separate note, I was telling you this and I don't know if many people know it,

but it happened to come up on my Instagram. It's about Hector from Fast and Furious.

Somebody told me this. That was me. So it just came up. You know the way you have the shorts and

radies come up every so often. You just start dim-scrolling. There was Hector on a podcast,

famous Hector from Fast and Furious. Hector in every film. When Fast and Furious was a bit

ridiculous, but not number seven ridiculous. They're not going to space. So he basically said,

I spent time in jail for road racing. Straight to the point. So he done Fast and Furious and he

sent his car as a car guy and he used to pull up the lights he says and boys would pull up and go

hear Hector, let's race. And he's just like, okay. And he'd done this for a while. And he was out

racing one day, he said, and three bikes, pulled up behind him, arrested him, done him for reckless

driving in America. And he just thought, oh, I'll just be fine or something like that. But reckless

carries a sentence in America. Because you're in danger in life. You got a year sentence and out

in six for good behavior. Life imitate an art. He was laughing away at it. He said he was in prison

and we're going, oh, it's Hector. What are you in for? You're not believe this. You're shut me.

Nope. A method actor, but you're going the wrong way around and do it before Hector.

That's good. That's weird. I am out of news. Me too. I was speaking of Fast and Furious.

Some new LEGO speed champions coming out later this year. Excellent. Fast and Furious Supra.

Oh, the orange. Come on, my bro. I actually said you because of you get this event.

No, the white Jesse's Jetta. No, Jetta, sorry. No, well, it is.

Also announced is a unicorn. Oh, yes. And the shape of that will suit it well. Have you seen

the new smart LEGO bricks? No. Google that shit. Oh, have you seen the boy? Yeah.

You don't look. That's spacey stuff. I don't really understand. Is that a hoax?

No, I've had emails about it. There was a demonstration of it. One of the launches of

it and basically the brick racks to what it's put on. I don't know if it's air or wind up,

but how would it recognize what it is? The racks, definitely the different builds.

Probably RFID chips or something. Something like that. So you put it in a little like

laid up lights and do best spaces. Yeah. That's interesting. Those different

things and different models. That's something I have to Google after this.

So unless there's a chip in that build that communicates with the smart brick.

I've never even heard of that. I must check it out. There's a couple of new speed champions

have come out January. One of them is Lightning McQueen, which was sold out on the LEGO website.

Added it to my wish list was like, right, I'll get that once it comes back in stock.

You'll note there's one in the cabinet behind you because I walked into B&M Bargains the

next day and there it was on the shelf. Oh, he smokes. Yep.

So I've got that. There's the new, they're going to do the, obviously they've done all the F1 cars.

The Audi one will be coming out in March because obviously Audi new time joining the grid this year.

And what else? There's a new Bugatti. There's a new Porsche.

They've also announced an E30M3 for summer release along with the Supra and the HinaCorn.

There's a back to the future DeLorean, which if it's not already out, it's coming out shortly.

Like it was a previous one, but this is a bigger one again.

No, this is a small one. This is a speed champions. I bet there was an older.

There was a bigger, there was a big set of the DeLorean.

I bet there was an older non-speed champion, small one.

It was a, it was two bricks and hour. It was a six brick wide, not an eight brick.

Yeah. So yeah, loads of lovely Legos, still to come. I'm very excited about.

I've yet to build my Christmas ones. Get her done.

She'd have done that in the wet days.

The wet days, aye. I'm trying to swim up the road.

Is that us for news? That's us for news.

Yep. Anybody on YouTube? I've had very little YouTube lately.

The only one I will say, because up in a way it was Jimmy Oaks, who I've talked about quite a lot,

is doing a lot of really cool poor stuff at the moment.

Have you seen that? No, I've sort of fell off the wagon with Jimmy.

Yes. So have I. And he has come back hard with a lot of stuff.

He's built now really shit box nine, six, four that he bought that had like the sunroof was welded

up and just skimmed over with filler. And there was a V8, it was a small block Chevy V8

crammed into the back of it. It was a fucking.

I think I remember watching the start of that video. Yeah.

He's a Maserati V8 on it now on 3D printed ITBs or adapted ITBs, full cage.

He's putting a factory white body onto it. So like the turbo arches all welded on and replaced the

roof skin with a carbon roof. So it's like, it's going to be a really nice car.

Yeah. It's actually an interesting series. The Watts,

we've been different from him. Just doing a chassis stuff. So it's pretty good.

That's pretty much what I've been watching on the models.

I don't know if I talked about the last one, but saving salvage again.

It's a go to because he's quite technical.

So he was doing stuff about Mark seven hours and the latest one was basically digging deep to see

what had happened to the engines and what caused them. And essentially manual EI triple

eights, the thrust washers, the usual yet. So that usually feels in them and it just goes

on a performance notch makes it worse.

Yeah. And I definitely don't have one on my club sport.

Definitely not.

Also been watching a lot of travel vloggy stuff.

Alex, auto Alex, they have been doing the overlander challenge.

Okay.

And Taylor's V10 to our egg turned into a shit show.

Oh, so a V10 TDI turned into a shit show. Who to guess?

No, so there's a bit of an oil leak and to get them engines, you basically have to drop them.

Yep.

And while you're there, you discover the turbo's were knackered.

I need to do everything on the seals, all the rest of it.

And then he decided, oh, I'll get the, I'll get it all cleaned with this.

They must have a tie in with this ice blasting company.

And they splashed underneath it and discovered the thing was rotten.

The drivers had side chassis leg that have heat shields towards the bulkhead.

When they came off, it was just rotten.

Oh.

So they got a, yeah, that's one new channel I've started watching now actually in human.

They got Bob from the machine shop. He does a lot of Matt Armstrong's welding.

Okay.

And he came in. So I've started watching his channel too, because he does a lot of welding.

And heat on extensive welding on that chassis leg, but the cells are still rotten, but

they're still going to go do their Scottish trip.

But he got the engine back in and running.

And it was left on basically that the front left airbag wasn't working or something.

So to be continued.

I don't know a whole lot about turrets, but I didn't know them to rot.

I didn't think there were rot boxes like that.

Technically they're 20 years old.

True. I am supposed to do any off-road none of them work.

And an off-road is going to be off-road.

It's going to be plenty of water.

And they were shown where it was rotten because the usual inner guards, trap mud,

moisture, just eats three in the inner.

Yeah.

And you don't see it because the heat shields are there.

I needed a strip and a wringer to clean it back to do that.

Yeah.

So he was nearly going to pull the plug on and he got your boy Bob out from the machine shop.

And he says, look, it's metal. I can weld it.

Aye.

And Taylor says, oh, my cells are rotten too.

He basically turns around and says, yeah, you didn't tell me about that. I'm not doing it.

I have too much on.

Fuck you.

But yeah, watching a lot of stuff like that has been very interesting.

Excellent.

Van Armstrong has been absolutely knocking out content.

I hate not watching his stuff in years.

Flip, he is mental.

So there's a bit of controversy with he's,

who's looking at hypercar, he's looking at Bugatti.

I've seen this on and off, yeah.

And it's basically a Veyron in Florida and some forex trader millionaire in Florida.

He bought one that was his, his one crashed.

He bought it back off the auction site.

And then Matt went to look at it and then your boy, what do you call him?

I think he's called Alex or something like that.

The Floridian fella.

He's basically getting Matt to rebuild it for him.

Yes.

Because Bugatti was quoting 1.2 million to fix it and had to be shipped to France.

And then all of a sudden when they heard Madame Strong was fixing it,

offered to do it for 600,000 and your man in Florida just went,

they're telling me 600,000.

But if I get that there, I'll turn around and go,

we've actually found this and that and the rest of it.

So what do you call the fella that used to be,

he's a, as you see, who would Bugatti know?

He had Ramek.

The Ramek guy.

Yeah.

He done a video about it.

Video about it.

Yeah.

Because I think there were Bob Mouth and Ramek saying that he wasn't going to let them do

this and that and right to repair and this kind of thing.

But I think Madame Strong has played this very well,

because he didn't buy the car to fix it.

He let your mom buy the car to fix it.

So if it turns around, if they turn around and say,

no, we're not giving you the parts and they win,

well then it's no skin on his nose because he didn't buy the car.

And if they do, if they do get the parts to repair it,

then it's really that they have to give them to him.

He's in the pigs back because he's the guy that beat Bugatti.

And he's got a load of content to do on his.

Like the figures are some of the parts and they won't supply them basically.

It was just insane.

The headlight was, it was a hundred thousand or something.

I'd be interested to see what way that falls in with the right to repair laws and things.

The Ramek fella, he made a few very good points about,

like there's these wishbones and they're like cab design flow formed or something out there.

And there's a lot of like carbon tub stuff and bonding and yeah.

And at the end of the day, he made a very good point.

He says, these, these cars are designed and manufacturers for tolerances and high speeds.

If it's not right, you might want to do it right.

Yeah, you can see both sides, but like, yeah,

you don't want to be getting ripped off, but at the same time, if their name's on it and

but that's going on that because it's going to probably take six months to a year to do.

So to sort it out, he's sort of thinking it's a background project sort of thing.

Interesting.

But the cars that Matt is doing is mental.

I think in December, in the January, he probably done close to £2 million worth of cars

and see him.

Yeah.

Aye, that's impressive.

He done there last week, released a video fixing a 812 Ferrari and 24 hours.

And he had 12 Ferrari's and I think he paid 180 or something for it.

So he's got the name for it now as well.

He must have serious backing, serious backing.

But his videos are getting 9 million, 10 million views.

Aye.

I would love to know if he's doing more reviews than Cletus.

That's a good point actually, yeah.

Because I haven't watched many Cletus videos lately.

No, I haven't seen very well of his stuff.

But there you go.

All out of YouTubes.

Out of YouTubes.

Before we do our listener questions, we'll take a minute to talk about our sponsor.

So if you're listening to this podcast, there's a strong chance that at least twice a day,

you're thinking, do I need new car parts?

You probably don't, but you want them.

So you can give in to that one with our sponsor over.

These guys are proper enthusiasts who specialize in vehicle customization.

Whether you're after quality parts for your car,

or remap to squeeze out a few extra horses,

or factory quality upgrades to make daily life a little bit sweeter,

things like heated seats, reversing cameras,

trackers, or even full van fit-outs, over has you covered.

From part of the car community for well over 10 years,

and they're now certified ghost tracker installers,

which is a big win for security.

Trackers add an extra layer of protection by preventing key cloning and really a theft,

keeping your vehicle exactly where you left it,

and often helping reduce insurance premiums too.

This was actually something we learned yesterday at the Blackline GTNI cars and coffee.

One of the guys had a Ober installed ghost tracker onto his Mark 7 GTI,

and he was telling us that when he rang up his insurance to tell him about it,

that they were telling him his upcoming insurance renewal should actually drop because of it.

So that's great news as well.

So if you're in the market for parts, remapping, factory quality work,

or serious vehicle security, check out Ober.co,

or find them on Instagram at oibre.co.

And remember exclusively for real podcast listeners,

they're giving you guys 10% off all max chain maps when you mention the podcast them.

Big thanks as always to Ober for supporting the podcast.

Now back to it.

Yes, so we'll jump into our questions then.

So we have the first one comes from Ian Agnew.

Ian says, evening, hope yous are keeping well.

I have a question for the podcast.

Which car best suited its OEM gold wheels?

And for me, it's the car that jumps out straight away.

When you think of gold wheels, for me is classic and pretzel.

Like 90s ship classic and pretzel.

That's Kim Goldwills.

Goldwills is.

Yeah.

Williams Clare.

Good shout.

I see you shout.

But the impretzel for me is the one that jumps out that it's like, that's the car.

And do you know what?

You're sick of looking at it, but it works.

Yeah.

There's a reason.

The blue and gold works.

But it's probably why the Williams Clare works as well.

Few modern things go that way.

I had competition.

M2s came with that option or M3s came with a green wheel option or a gold wheel option.

I had like a bronzey gold sort of thing.

It's quite popular.

Some Porsches come with that option.

But in terms of iconic, the Williams and the Presley definitely.

90s on the best.

Jack Rice 2.3 says, if you have to live with one,

radio is permanently stuck on Cool FM at volume 30.

Or every time you get into the car, you always come across a group of cyclists.

That's like to pick them between children.

It is.

It's like hell.

In a bad way.

Too bad children.

Yeah.

I would pick the volume and then disconnect the speakers.

Smash the speakers.

Yeah.

Or you could pick.

Hey, it's Pete Snudden.

Yeah, you could pick an F-150.

Pick up and meet the cyclists every day.

Yeah.

Big bull bar in the front of her.

On the way here, I came across, I was stuck behind a horse trailer.

Who then overtook a cyclist.

Who then got stuck behind a...

Oh, God.

What do you call them?

Oh, they're not a tractor.

They're a model to me.

What do you call them?

Oh, like a Lodol?

Aye.

Aye, like a Ford.

I forgot the name.

I call the Lodol, but that's the JCB name, like the teleporter.

Yeah.

So that was fun.

That's like fucking, what is it like?

Trilodun.

80 layers of hail.

You know, you're just like constantly getting worse.

It's going to be Cool FM.

I just wouldn't drive in the morning.

You would drive from 10 o'clock onwards to get the top 10 of 10.

Who's a 10?

Top 10.

Top 10 of 10.

He's all right.

It's Hex still on Cool FM in the evidence.

I like him.

I could do that.

I couldn't listen to the Rack for Show.

Not a chance.

But...

That middle, that middle class boundary.

Oh, yes.

From the North Italians.

Right up your street, Diesel.

I deal with him and work.

Flipping.

Move on, please.

New poke, new love.

Mark says, is it just me or is this your flamboy?

I need more time.

Yes.

Yes, so many days.

Was it till dub shit?

There's the end of January today.

Like, and I have not got anything done that I wanted to get done like.

Yeah.

Every time I, I feel like the minute,

every time I go to do something, something comes up.

I just set you back two paces.

His life.

Yep.

The joys of getting old.

Yeah.

At my age, I should know better.

Correct.

Michael Skull and Underscore says,

what do you think of these new companies making split rooms?

Do you see them as fix or new?

What is he talking about?

I assume he's talking about being like ribbons carnated.

You know, they do like, they'll take like a single piece wheel,

but instead of splitting it and stepping it up with three piece,

they'll redesign the full face to suit dishes and barrels.

So you've got a, a wheel that's designed to be a three piece wheel.

I'm all for that because some of the 80s wheels that you buy second hand,

they're all pitted, corroded and they're generally weak, the magnesium.

Yes.

To a certain point.

My thing is you're not repping something that already exists

because you're making something new that wasn't,

it wasn't three piece to begin with.

If you're making cast wheels in the same size

as you can already buy other wheels,

yes, I think that's a wrap,

but if it's like a one off, that's a three piece.

It's the same.

A wheel that was not a three piece?

Yes.

See, cause I think the rooms carnated are doing are,

they'll take like a escort RS turbo wheel.

It's probably a 14 or a 15 and they're making it a 17.

Like B-Stars tail.

Yes.

That kind of thing.

The RAs and the C-Brings.

Yeah.

That's kind of right.

So it's not a rep if it didn't exist,

but if it's a true one to one rep,

well then yeah, that's a rep.

Going more for the toys then.

Shane Duggan says,

have you seen the Hot Wheels, Mattel collaboration

that they've done and they're giving Lego a run for their money?

They have some really good kits out.

So he sent me a picture of one they have of the Audi RS2.

Oh, delightful.

Yeah, that's cool.

There's a pretty cool.

I think Lego were releasing an RS2 in the speed champions as well.

How are they?

I think so.

I haven't actually seen these, but they look good,

but he says they also come with like a Hot Wheels with them as well.

This is pretty good.

I've bought a load of pretty cool 26 or the 25, 26 Hot Wheels recently.

They're dropping some real good.

Really good one stuff.

It's all retro racing, cool stuff.

I bought a couple coming back from Germany, I think.

A lot of Audi detail and WRC stuff.

All right, not just the standard front of the middle stuff.

Pete Matthews, we're talking about Pete today.

Yeah, he's talking about this for us.

He says, have you ever had experience putting insurance claim through for a modified car?

He's probably seen that he was hit in the green Audi last week, which was a gorgeous,

it was a B5 and a half.

Well, I thought it was a B6, but that era Audi.

What year is it?

I don't know.

Is it a B6?

Oh, seven.

I think he said.

I can't remember.

He doesn't say in this year, but it's a, it has the RS wide body welded on to it.

Big wheels, drop, big brakes, like a beautiful car.

Great.

And I think he was using it like a daily or semi daily.

He says, you're probably saying I was hit in the green Audi last week,

even though I'm covered for the mods.

The assessor is still trying to treat it like a standard car,

as his argument is that modified cars are worthless, very frustrating,

as why do you declare mods at all?

If they're not going to be covered, yeah.

Treat it when you crash and chatting to him.

It wasn't even his insurance assessor.

It was the other party's insurance assessor, obviously doing the usual thing.

Yeah, to give you as little money as possible.

And like, I know people argue the fuck out of that.

There've been no doubt about that.

He's extensive history and dealing with that.

He worked as a body worker for years and painter.

I think he said at the end of the conversation,

he just basically hung up on them and basically said,

don't bother calling me back if you're going to offer me $1,500 or $2,000.

And like, that's the thing.

Yes, she can argue it and you will, you get more.

It's a fucking hassle.

Like you pinch her and she just won't.

Why did it pay for it?

Yeah, no hassle.

It's supposed to be easy.

And yes, like flux her whoever the hell you're with.

Yes, they will accept your mods,

but surely they should be your fight in your corner then

when it comes to the other place not accepting your mods.

Yeah.

You are in their value.

Otherwise, what's the point in declaring that?

Insurance companies will always get out.

About 10 years ago,

Weiss, one of our best relatives got laid off

and they had life insurance with income protection out.

Might as well flip in a head bow to the wall.

Shit in your hands and clap.

Oh, you have savings?

Fuck off.

Aye, yeah.

Aye, how do you have saved money?

Yeah, insurance companies will always try and wangle our way out.

Um, Jack Loog says, since it's episode 150,

what's the go-to biscuit this year?

My favorite biscuit is always the Fox's Chocolate Round.

A lovely cup of tea.

I'm more basic.

I love a penguin.

Yeah, they just work.

Don't get me started in palm oil and cocoa content.

Oh, no, here we go.

The Tin Hunt.

You're correct.

Chocolate-favourite coating.

Not chocolate.

Oh, a few.

But then most bars are like that.

Do you know what the fun thing is now?

Little Chocolate has great cocoa content.

I've always maintained Little's own brand chocolate.

It was better than Cadbury's and stuff anyway.

It's lovely.

Because I am chocolate.

Oh, really?

And I've started going a little from a chocolate.

I've just refused the Dairy Milk down south.

I just hope the...

Why are we talking about chocolate?

The car thing.

There's a cup and a half on every bar that used to be the slogan.

Yeah.

That's not anymore.

There you go.

Well...

It's McFiddy's Chocolate Caramel Digestives for me.

There you go.

It's out of four and I'll say it again.

They used to be layered in chocolate.

Now it's a hint of chocolate over the top.

We have the chocolate bar over it.

Chocolate home-nomes used to be the size of a mug base.

Now they're the size of...

50p.

It's just...

Slingflation.

Should look at the Toblerone misery.

They just put gaps in between the peaks.

I just widened them out.

Yeah.

Ridiculous.

Shorty 1919 says,

first time in a few years feeling some dub shed pressure.

That's right.

He hasn't shown.

Probably in two years I would say.

Silly ideas for doing two cars.

Add on the previous...

Maybe I was getting older but...

He says,

maybe I'm getting older but a nice meaty tire is better than stretch.

Oh, showing your age.

Oh, I disagree.

It depends on the car.

I agree.

Purposeful stance.

Chunkier tire on some cars works really, really well but...

20 year goes with stretch wars like it was mental.

Dangerous.

I still like that.

Remember the...

He was a contributor in...

PVW.

He had the Black Bora.

Oh, Dave Kennedy.

Yeah.

Oh, it was just...

I was wild.

Spoused out stance with stretch tires.

I remember Stephen.

I can't remember what size.

There were maybe nines or nine and a half.

He had the Corvette saw blades on the back of his Red Mark III.

Like, when we were in university, this was going way, way back.

And I remember...

We'd on a five-stuck axle in it one day on this driveway.

I'm gonna put the wheels on in the end.

And I looked and it was...

The tire had seated but it wasn't seated against the inner...

I knew you'd measure a tire on the inside, like inner lip to inner lip.

It wasn't seated there.

I had just seated just before.

So you could put your finger down and touch the inside of the barrel.

I was like, that is fucking class.

I do that good stretch tire.

When he called James...

He used to come to the shows having a beef and then he had the White Mark II.

And he cut the archers to shit.

They fit like 10s in the rear.

Oh, James McCauley?

Yeah, I...

That car's up in my yard.

Is it?

Yeah.

He sold it and then it got T-boned at Casaray Lights Junction.

Okay.

And it sat up at Quinten Design in Balli Gown.

And I was in one day.

I think it was getting the Fabio bumper painted or something.

And he says, what's happening now?

He says, make me an offer.

I need rid of it.

Make me them an offer.

That wasn't the NFL, GTI.

It was a good engine.

Mm-hmm.

It was a very good engine.

I think I stuck that in one of my cars at one stage.

I drove that home from England one year and learned how to make it back firm.

Pop and bang in the tunnel.

Excellent.

That sounds good.

It helped it.

It ran really well.

Actually, it was a good car.

Ryan Cudlip says, workers sent me away over dub shit again this year.

No.

That's a shit.

That's a pity.

That's not good.

Noah Ryan 07 says, Mark 5 GTI, T-Sport Yaris or IS 200.

Do you have to pick one?

Please don't hit me.

What was the first one?

Mark 5 GTI.

T-Sport Yaris all day.

I'd actually love one of these.

I know you're a Mark 5 GTI.

Man, all through and through.

I wouldn't have the IS 200 because they're godless fuckers.

They're dead.

Even though I love the look of them.

I think they're a really good looking car.

Not a lot of people don't.

T-Sport Yaris would actually be quite rare, wouldn't it?

I love those wee cars.

Ruth Macaulay and Lisburn had one year to go, a black one.

And it had like a five-seg and exhaust, and it had time code numbers,

and it was proper wee GDM thing.

And that thing drove like it was on rails.

It was fun.

Even though he starlets, the late 90s starlets,

they are flipping on rails when you lower them.

It's the age-old thing of small light.

We lit up a corner and just drive it hard.

Go-kart.

Lightheart Pete again.

Oh, no.

He says, after this bubble won't fit the big enough questions.

All sent a DM, which he did.

Mav90G60 says, episode 150 for the win.

Daily.

At least he realized we didn't.

Daily scrap or garage, right?

B4 Passat 1Z TDI.

B5.5 Passat PD TDI.

Or a B7 Passat Common Reel TDI.

So you have to scrap one daily, one in garage one.

The B7 would be the best ideally.

Comfort ways.

Yes, I agree.

Yep, Common Reel all the way.

I'd scrap the B5.5, and I would garage the B4.

I'd scrap the B4.

Keep the B5.5.

B5.5 probably has the best engine.

It's the front suspension, I can't stand.

Yeah, they are pretty bad.

That's a tricky one.

And there's no deer here to head, so.

That's true.

And I'm still in shock.

I've been in shock a number of times.

Dali has a deer.

Yeah.

Oh, that's impressive.

Like B4s are the Mark III of the Passat world, aren't they?

They are.

They used to be there.

I always thought like the B3 was the unloved child.

But see now, people like B4s.

And I think there's a red one there today.

Yeah.

Yeah, it has no splits.

And it's a really nice car.

But it's rare that you see a nice one.

Yeah.

They're usually pretty scrappy.

Wain's one's nice, the silver one.

Is that a B4?

It is, I actually am.

I'll garage the B4.

Dali the B7 and scrub the B5.5.

Maybe I'm coming around to that.

Some nice B5.5.

The B5.5 are a great engineered car.

But they're a bit bland.

They are.

Oh, I really like Richie's estate.

Yeah.

It's a pretty cool.

I mean, you didn't say estate.

I was thinking the saloon there.

No, you've got me thinking again.

It's hard to be in a good estate one.

Had a bad experience with that one I had.

No, you did.

Hi.

You douse.

That was a fucking douse.

Why did you not warn me?

I didn't know you at the time.

I seen the horrors that went under that.

Oh my goodness.

Dali-biked Mark 7 GTD says,

why is it so hard to sell modified cars in Ireland?

Because people are miserable.

Because people know what modified car guys get up to.

That's it.

It's also especially in this country

because it's so small we all know each other

and we're all the incestuous group that we are.

If you buy someone else's car,

it's very hard to get away from.

That's Nigel's car.

You know, that's Gethan's car.

I was going to say Gethan's car.

Gethan's suffering big time from that at the minute.

He can't shift his car.

And like it's sold.

It's sold?

He can shift his car.

I knew that.

I only found out this morning.

Jesus.

It was Clark who told us.

Attract all statements.

There you go.

Oh, I'm interested to hear who bought it then.

Yep.

But yes, I think the main answer is people are miserable.

Yeah, it is.

It's hard.

But I know what I'm looking at a car.

If I was to consider a modified one,

it would have to be good products.

It has to be what it wants.

You see something that's just like,

yeah, depends how it's been modified.

And that's like everything.

You won't have your touch on it.

You know.

You're fussy about what you want.

You know what you want.

If you're somebody who doesn't really have something in mind

and just wants a modified car,

it's great because you can go out and the world's your oyster.

But if you want a Mark 7 on coilovers,

there's loads out there.

But if you don't want it to have a max and kit drilled

into the cells, or if you don't want this or that.

I think they've been problem in our lives.

Some of the modified cars are terrible in this folder.

Oh, car endoses, yeah.

I had the experience of coming into a Mark 5,

two edition 30s at either end of the spectrum.

You did.

I bought the red one, bog standard.

I bought the gray one, modified the Hilt.

But I knew the owner for 10 years.

Yeah, yeah.

1,000 spent on good mods.

Well done.

Good driver.

That's the reason I bought it.

If I didn't know him.

You probably wouldn't have touched up.

Don't know if it would have been a quest mark over it,

you know.

Yeah.

And you took a lot of the mods off

because you were sort of an over pen

for stuff that you don't want or something.

Lot of expensive stuff.

All that didn't really I like.

And here's the other thing, realistically.

I got out of that car really well.

People selling their modified cars

also can overvalue them.

Yeah.

Because they think I've spent this on this.

And I'm like, well, it doesn't always equate to that.

You know, that's the other thing.

I've been on the receiving end of that.

And also, you know, a lot of the fun of our hobby

is doing the mods.

Aye.

If you buy it already done, it's like.

Take some of the fun away.

All right.

And then we have two more questions we have.

Michael Confenex is welcome back.

He must have missed us after a week off.

Thank you.

I'm wondering when Connor is going to do

a YouTube of the road rebuild of Otis.

I wonder when I'm going to do the rebuild of Otis.

Never mind YouTube.

I'd actually love to YouTube stuff,

but I just can't in the fucking time.

And lastly, we have arn underscore hues underscore 80 says,

I'm toying with the idea of heading to AVF this year.

Any tips on traveling over?

You've spoke to the right people.

Fly into Charlotte is generally you can go Charlotte or you can go.

Atlanta.

We find Charlotte's handier for us just either or.

There don't seem to be any direct flights to Atlanta anymore.

Oh, really?

To where?

Atlanta.

Charlotte's a little bit further away when you get to the other side to drive, but.

Four and a half hour drive down, sort of like that.

Yeah.

Either is fine.

But here, if you haven't been the Roadster class,

it's great to see the country.

It's fantastic show.

Tie it in.

You can hit Charlotte and do NASCAR things as well.

You know, it's a lot like NASCAR history and shops.

And if you're just doing a quick visit to it, do the Friday and Saturday.

Yeah.

Of the show.

Yes.

The Thursday, Friday, Saturday is the main.

Yeah.

There is stuff going on all week, but.

But you can dip in as part of a bigger holiday.

Yeah.

But if you're thinking of flying over, drop us a message even as well.

Get some tips.

Give you actual, like if you have any questions.

But yeah, that's the just if it is.

Charlotte's probably your best.

And hell is absolutely incredible.

This class.

Yeah.

It's cool to be spot.

The countryside is beautiful.

It is.

Except, et cetera, et cetera.

Everything around it.

It's just.

It's like a movie.

It's like when you were just, you had the same experience I had in 2019,

where you just turn around to me and you're like, this is just overload.

And it was nighttime and you're just walking around.

And there's just VRs rolling past.

And the sights, the smells, you're in the weird location.

This is beautiful.

And you're like, this is fun.

I'm a beard, half-native bellies.

Yep.

Oh yeah.

It's so good.

And that is us out of questions, folks.

Cool.
