"Leave it with me. Can you tell you a quick story. We've got a ML 320 that we got from a lady who owned it into Iraq? No, oh yeah, the auction better. Actually, the lady from track must have traded it in and the auctioneer they must have option."
"For example, a couple that we had last week. I said a Subaru Freedom which would be a Subaru, Liberty, Honda perception would be a Honda Insight So that's just to get. You started a food party would be a Ford Fiesta. Yes, I'm going or not."
"it's a bit like, you know, if you think How many say class bins wagons were so compared to C Class A Dance. It's pretty much the same ratio of think, but even less again because there were what we'll want the lot less than 33 sold than C-Class vendors. But for some reason, I think all the 33 Monte Carlos, we got here, were wagons, so it was silver. They're all magnets."

I am going to be okay. Singapore tomorrow.
Yeah. So you'll see all the Ferraris

At least are in the sit here and think that because there's a lot of Ferraris and supercars are in Singapore and the streets.

Sorry, Just just don't worry to eat illegal narcotics with you because it doesn't end well no chewing gum either because that's banter did. Yeah, I'm sure really?
Yeah, well, I did not know that. Yeah, they come true, my death.
Nah, just drop your hands off. Don't like, I've got some
prescription medication, I normally have my blood pressure tablet, and whatever. And so I've got a little It from
the doctor just in case and all that sort of stuff.
So, just make sure these are not illegal substances, they are legal substances. Well, we'll see when I get there
legal in Australia. Anyway, yeah, I freaked out
about Singapore because we will planning on taking your kids there because we couldn't go to Japan.
And obviously, two years ago with covid, it'll play on going for the photography trip and we're like, well, they're not open yet. Let's try this.
Let's try for Singapore. Obviously, Japan's open.
Now it The one of the guys that's coming along, he's a good friend of mine. Kevin, he's from Singapore and
he's like, he's like, man, it's pretty hard ass.
They're like, don't muck around with the with the law there.
You will be in a lot of pain. I'm like, I had no idea.
I was expecting it to be like, just such a choker choker.
Use these. Like, it's beautiful place.
Just yeah. Just just don't bring drugs into
the country or chewing gum is. It seems so yeah.
Their leader. Chewing gum.
Drugs. They gave me that they're
smoking like smokers areas. Like we spoke to you can't
smoke. You can't smoke on the streets
similar to here but probably more patrols.
Yeah, that makes sense and everyone knows about the price of cars in Singapore. Like a Corollas.
Any about a hundred thousand dollars?
Yeah years ago I did a job for a kid and literally keep it was a Singapore student who had many or six and I was going.
Wow this is incredible. You know how do you How do you
have? Come you got these eyes and I'm
a student at swinburne us that are still doesn't answer the question, but he said that he was a Singapore in Singapore.
National studying are p and he told his mom and daddy needed need two hundred thousand dollars for a car because in Singapore, a Honda Civic was a hundred thousand dollars thousand Australians and I realize, that's that's one way to do it. Yeah.
Absolutely and yes I did pretty good at currency exchange rates, not too bad. Also.
Yeah. Canada's real good at the moment
use. So yeah, that's where we should
provide all our cars now. From Canada and New Zealand.
Apparently, that's the place. Yep.
So in terms. Are you guys leaving tomorrow
morning or like yeah. So you guys are going to see all
the like the practice and everything, or you just going to go, that will practice. Everything is so we got
grandstand tickets and different different, different different grandstands every day. All right, so like comment the
first two days are like, see it for the first days to practice that's on one corner. And there's two qualifying and
other practices on the other corner.
And then the main races on the kind of on the main straight.
I come at the last corner so you can see the body from the podium classic. Yeah.
So that's right. So we're looking forward to that
and there's a lot of entertainment on there as well.
So that should be good. Yeah, yeah.
So I'm looking forward to it. Oh, my goodness.
And and the saddest days all my goodness.
Okay. Well my, my, my Kevin was
telling me that the food there is cheap.
Like like, it's like you can, you can live like a king on, like, $5 a day like like legit, like a king centers.
Yeah, that is up there like that.
We We who's look like quadruple the price that is here. Yeah, but here.
That make a lot of their money, okay.
But these not all that expensive on its own.
Or is that still expensive? Question dunno, don't drink
beer, so never actually bought. Yeah, I think I think the end
like I remember, I think it'd be was cheap.
You can buy BF. I feel like their convenience
stores and stuff that was established Chief.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Most hold it Coca-Cola's very
expensive. Oh wow.
Okay well you'll soon know covid tax its covert attacks attacks, sugar tax that they pay tax on those sort of things.
I think that's exciting when you guys back. 6.5, I like ice,
okay, Matt, no car updates, it haven't heard anything from a Transit. Heard nothing for my Jimny
Harley's cast playing up again. Well, some of them I'm saying
before the engine light was triggering me.
I wasn't driving badly. I could just, I'll probably just
oxygen sensor which they're in place and then in July they didn't come back on, but now it's coming back on again, that's rough. Idle, engine revving like very
bad like but then like you turn it off.
And you can maybe drive it for a bit.
And then way, we like, like I said, I guess I could turn back on. But here again, it's all right.
You could drive it for a bit, but there's something like that, the angel flush, and it's the go solid, it'll be a rough idle again, and I was looking the forums.
It's most likely the coil pack because on those ones but it's like kind of worse on those ones because one call pack controls two cylinders. Ha ha, right?
That guy sticks on this, their rates on that.
Yeah. So it's a pretty crappy if you
draw when that happens. So is an intermittent because I
like or packs can be intermittent as well.
Yeah, but it wasn't you. So, the first time it happened,
I was just left. Work was driving fine, pop down
to the colder, from killer Park Drive, and as a gone to plan a go-getter think the color is literally like a little starts.
Vibrating in July flashing and like the basic no power.
Like I took me ages to get back up to 80.
Well, I'm just sitting there. Way the home turned it off when
they try again, later for about 2 weeks, it was fine.
Then now they same thing. Happened to me, coming back from
work again. I like I was actually going for
lunch at here and they come back to the office.
Stop that go home fine. Is that okay?
Now I started on the weekend I went to go watch the car.
I went almost at the car. Wash it happened again.
Same thing. Every answer me.
Yes, yes I say it happened but like now it's actually more beds getting more freak like with the last time it happened close.
I only drive the car for like 14, 15 minutes and I happened to get it. But before his last two or three
weeks before it happens again, mmm.
So what you use this car? It's like a, it's like a, it's
like a 17 model but 16 don't. A 63s.
Right? That shouldn't really be happy.
No. Yeah you happening.
It should it should last a bit more Organics year in the warranty. Just cut me out too.
Don't worry. Just because the Dude of course
they do one mile checkup a week out the warranty Beast.
Well that's you know how many cases the card on the 66,000.
Dude, it's under the Australian consumer law.
Yeah, I'm the cost of you considering it's like 100.
Thousand dollar car, you know, it has to, despite the warranty of the car company. They should technically there's
a, there's like a Australian consumer law.
Has had a bit of a rough. Yeah, that's on a software
update to update the software fixed thing and update the software. Did I change the oxygen sensor
measures oxygen since here on the warranty?
Yeah. Okay.
Apart from that, I've been driving F100, around a bit, getting that sort of been putting a few case on the book on that one but that's that's been pretty good.
It's running. Well, the BMW my fuel gauge Now,
doesn't work on it so got no fuel gauge on that.
After changing the fuel pump, I was so careful to buy to careful, not to damage anything when you pull it apart because I know how delicate they are and sensitive area.
Thing is around the fuel system and everything everything is brittle and whatnot but yet still no fuel gauge now.
So either pour the fuel pump out again because it's all integrated with the fuel pump. Yeah, so anyway, that's another
job that's for Rob's electrical fabrication and mechanical it but not no welding, no welding. So that's pretty much us.
Have a safe trip to Singapore and hopefully you guys Some great stories when you come back.
We've also been joined by mr. Scotty do Johnson and mr.
Rosy Rose actor. How are you guys doing well?
Doing well Alum, your remaining the show tonight.
Who should, who should go next? Well considering we've been
missing mr. Rizzi for a while.
He's been doing some big things in the electric space as well.
I think we're at a bit of an update or if the doctor has to say, then the patient has to answer.
That's the way I say it. You know I'm saying?
So I was on the north side of town today.
It's not often that this main man goes up there.
Unless he's ooh, bring someone to the airport and back but as it turns out that's north side is where it's all at.
That's where you pick up all the Press cars from.
So I dropped off Genesis the elite luxurious Genesis cheve, 60 all-electric, obviously, The it has nothing on the have lh6 Nam. Nothing.
Obviously, as our Elite podcast sponsor, have all Motors.
Shout out to them waiting for the check.
Please. Please, contact our accounts
receivable. Yeah, that's, that's right.
I think it's last time, I checked Xi Jinping was about to sign off on it. Absolutely should be, should be
coming our way soon. I dropped off the Genesis gv6.
Tea after having it for a week and I did about 800 case on it.
All right. Good car.
Very good car, like that you would write it.
I would, it's, it's the closest to a proper electric car that I've come sort of across the Kia ev6, the high-end ionic 5 and the Genesis GB. 60, it's all sort of same card, just
different trim levels. Very good and it's a huge head
turner hasn't Any mirrors got cameras for on the left hand, and the right hand side of the car does some pretty cool party tricks. You know the gear knob that it's
got, when you turn the car off, it turns into a crystal ball.
So it just rotates around and when you started then it rotates at 11:00, then you have access to the drive neutral and reverse. That's cool.
But, you know, that's, that's sort of what's being what's been going around. I missed last week's show.
So apologies, I'm just Out and about trying to do a couple of things. But at the same time I think the
I hope most of my test drives are finished until Mercedes in Midway through. I know it's a touchy topic Robin
Harley at the moment, but Mercedes EQ be launched in the middle of October and then I get the illustrious backed by the CCP party. Gz s EV which I know Maddie J,
the legend, the one and only Raves about since his hire car experience. Yeah, I mean, the hire car
experience was not the greatest greatest experience.
However, the apparently the new Z SE V, like the full update, like, like the new one, it's actually quite good from what I've heard, so you'll have to have to fill us in a little have to, we'll have to take it to the main man for him to test it himself. It's on the North side.
We might as well take it to the first destination.
Should be in Hadfield. Yeah, around the corner.
Just to make sure that it matches.
What we expect on car talk here, Hadfield Dallas braudy.
But yeah, it's just just then it just anywhere.
Anywhere up on the North side, we'll, we'll get it all done.
We'll get it tested by a couple of experienced car investigators, and Journalists. Absolutely.
So that's, that's what's happening in my little world at the moment chance. Nice, dude.
Scotty next me compared to last week.
It's a bit quiet. Haven't really done much at the
moment. What I plan to do before the
holidays is over, is just lift it up.
Get underneath and couple bottles of degrees are and just clean. Absolutely everything.
That way I can see if there is actually any leaks or if what I'm looking at is just Very very old bits and pieces, just just kind of you know built up. I'm hoping it comes back, nice
and clean so that will make it easier to get the roadworthy.
That's I'm hoping I get that soon when you thinking when did we have the car cruise last time?
Like how long have I got? Was that in January?
There was indiscernible December 4th of July. 4th of December is
just classic Japan. I'm the real one.
Just the realtor real one. So that is the, that is the
deadline. It is D-Day for the, a 31's,
carry, some suspension things to do and some extra bushes.
Probably some sway bar bushes in that and I feel like it should be. All right, then?
Yeah, Wally. It's pretty much like all
suspension replaced. I mean, the brute prophet Micah
just feel so ha ha ha. I think it's probably the better
make sure I untwist the seat belt to.
Yes, if a you that if I went in there and got that done and they said sorry, couldn't pass it because you see pasta Twisted, I would lose it. Yeah 26 for me God I'll just say
it's then fail me and you do it again.
The only thing that some of them aren't happy with is if you jack it up the Springs kind of just start to lift.
From the seat of the shock. But when I did it just the other
day, the rears are fine. It was just the front.
So there is sick, fine, the front's when I did it didn't really lift up much so I don't know.
Just depends how strict they want to be, I guess.
Yeah. Well let's go, let's get on the
road and just make it happen. Scotty.
I think we're almost there I can so I can see the light at the end of this r31 tunnel. Yes.
Oh and of course I couldn't do the AFM as well.
Yep. Thing that was being a little
bit dodgy on it so I feel if I get that done it should be idling and running. So smooth though, I mean they're
very smooth engine those those three liters.
So I think you will be fine once you once you get that, I was one of the contrasts of like hopping in a VN Commodore 3.8 and into a
VL and the veal just drive, just drove that much smoother like the in just silky, smooth and then There were like the 3.8 was
clock like little, I was like a diesel tractor.
I mean, it was just, it was all over the bucket of balls, but they still kind of work. But yeah, no, I can't wait to
see it back on the road. So the Oregon is, will be an
awesome. Awesome cut.
Thank you. I'm looking forward to it, mr.
Prince a great day Sunday. I headed up to the Honda
Nationals or Winton, which is run by nugget Nationals, very good event. They put on some fabulous car.
As I think my new favorite go to track car, would have to be a GED. D Jazz.
They were there was some very cool little Jazz has set up their great, great platform, great chassis to start with and they would they would just very cool on the track winton's.
It really tight. Nice little track.
So it suits them really well. That GD.
Having fun. They just girl came in with huge
Smiles on their faces. I took up the N1 to give it a
good run up the highway to charge the battery out properly because I've just been running it around locally for the last little while so that was really good.
And it was fantastic actually out there.
I had a heap of people come up to me saying, that's any car on social media and stuff and then they just sort of so cool.
And, and I met a few people that I commented on their posts, on Instagram and have commented a mine and stuff like that, so that I never actually met in real life.
So it was a great day and stunning, whether I'm it was learning about 1820 degrees up there and just clear blue sky.
That was brilliant, perfect day for that perfect day.
So, one of our members went up I'm sure you won't mind me saying he's in his early 70s now and he's only recently come to two competing and sprinting. He's got Integra Type R and had
a whale of a time, you know? So yeah, you never too old to
get it out there on a track and have a go.
So that was really good. That was a that was a really
good day. I'm really glad.
I went up sent many a picture of a car yesterday that I went and had a little look at today. You're look at it.
I did. And I drive it.
Okay, but I won't buying, it's a little bit.
There's a few things about it, don't add up, I think I counted about seven registration plates, that it had through all the paperwork of meant to be with the car.
So it was a ct100 Elegance station wagon, so the popped up and amazingly good price but that's usually the case is In it. There's usually a reason for
that and it certainly wasn't as nice in the flesh.
Is it wasn't the photos? But yeah, I think I'd like to
find one with a little more consistent life experience or that one's had plenty of experience I'm saying, but probably not the quite the right sort of experience.
What color are you? It was a brilliant color.
That's really caught my eye. It's you say it's probably a
green but it's like a almost like a peacock green, really striking looking card. Sunroof and and everything.
So ticked a lot of boxes but it into the day I just don't just think it was happy too sketchy to be true.
Really. There was one actually I think
it's probably because the only other one I've ever seen that color sold probably 18 months ago.
There's a yeah there was a yard on the corner of Dandenong Road and Clayton Road in sort of clap North and I think was called kelly brothers. And they had lots.
And lots, and lots and lots. And lots of trade-ins from
different different places that for good reason.
We're probably not retailed through the dealership where they got traded in and the price on the window, never included, the roadworthy. So, whatever the price on the
combat on the painted, on the windscreen in, in sort of white paint on the windscreen, they always look pretty cheap.
But you dig a bit deeper and it never included the road, where these, so they would arrange that for you an additional cost.
Yes. And actually, I think it's so
this car as well. A couple of he's going and
really stood out because of the color and he actually went to, he went up his lunch time to actually have a look at it, but it had sold that morning. So it's popped up again.
So with who'd another life, but it won't be popping into my driveway. And he soon, sadly, that one.
But it made me realize there were good size and they drove it drove pretty well actually. But yeah, I just I have a lot of
faith in the cellar or the, or the, or the cause of long-term life the car. So I'll keep looking, I'll keep
looking, I think, what year was it, what was it?
Just wear and tear, or do you think the books were very sketchy? Nothing matched up.
Basically, none of the address is matched up.
None of the none of the dates matched up in the in the book.
So I think it's beep fairly manufactured from broadmeadows here. Yeah, I'd say where it was, but
let's just say, it's probably the southern suburbs equivalent of broadmeadows. Okay?
So there will be one out there. I actually went into into this
Mercedes dealer. I do work for, and there's a
Salesman there, that was there, when I started doing work work for them in 1986, I was 3 at the time until people, but but he said to him, right? I said yeah, I need it.
Need it need something from you Rossi.
So what do you mean daily? I said, I need you to bring all
those lovely little old ladies that you sell these cars to back in the 90s that still have them sitting in their garages interact. That it's about time they moved
on to something newer. You said, leave it with me.
Leave it with me. Can you tell you a quick story.
We've got a ML 320 that we got from a lady who owned it into Iraq? No, oh yeah, the auction better.
Actually, the lady from track must have traded it in and the auctioneer they must have option.
It back out. Anyway, and that lady was
Simone. Warren.
Oh, they're good and we still got it.
Yeah, there you go. Okay, well, that's good.
When did you get that? My grandfather is he like he had
that first ml people from four Moto's.
Yeah. He's in pretty all the different
service or whatever. For two or three years, blow it
up, blow it up. The engine blew it for 4,000.
We went to the auction is really clean.
When I like that, at the time, I had 160,000 cases on it and they always said, I had two books and everything.
All right, we'll buy it for granted.
We've got Production with the books is it had like one is Bernard broaden that Simone Warren original.
Like that lovely little significant, all the books and everything were there and then we did anything for a ride with you. It's got a roadway and wow be
driving it ever since here. Hey, well, that's a very good
auction story. They're not usually like that.
No. All my years in the trade, the
cars that usually go go through the auctions.
Go through the options for a reason.
Hmm. Well, David, you got to say to
your friend there, make sure you find two cars cannot because I know Scotty once a once a w202 as well.
So OK we did was that a 200 or 240 you tried to say 200?
Yes, a 240 bones Airport. Drive would lights turn.
In the car with ran a red light. We've got sounds like you're in
a bin. Well, actually, my the kids were
at the back and my wife is at the back.
My dad was driving and I was in the front seat where the car actually hit me right on it and basically, it's smashed all the door in and whatnot. I couldn't open the door anymore
but I've got a cut on my knee, but didn't hurt me shoulder or my head or anything, but the kids got whiplashed in the back.
Okay. Yeah.
But apart from that. Yeah we walk out of it but that
is that VX come over here. It was pushed for right back in
so I stir firewall most it was pretty bad!
Wow! Yeah, so I swear by might be
pretty safe cars and she's returned alone car to that.
Like airport a company, loan car, whatever.
She's really oh right? Yeah yeah flight and shipping
straight to the read the Airport Drive.
Scotty you've got two more updates.
Yeah. To just two more things, it's
probably more car. Salvations.
So, on the Wednesday, I had to head to Bendigo was going past, just going past and farmland and out the front.
There was a gin one, liberty wagon, not over or anything like that. How much do you reckon?
They advertise for. Look, pretty rough in look,
good. Really good condition paint.
Look pretty munted. What about the sign say that?
No other got just wondering how much you think though.
Would be going for what? Well, my questions today.
But what did bunting sell? He's wonderful.
I think five and a half. If he's asking more than four,
it was really rough. I think, he'd be, he'd be having
a laugh, but it's, all right, give me.
That's not right. All right.
Yeah, because it's couple bags of meth in the back.
It looks like traditional like Bush passion one and they had written a on the windscreen five and a half.
Well, you know, Jesus. Was that my goodness, five and a
half. I would have thought you know,
in the hundreds And then my other thing that is worth inquiring. Maybe they just accidentally
wrote one extra zero. Yeah, well, I forgot to put the
dot. Hopefully, they did the decimal
point with the decimal point. Yeah.
And then on the weekend we're heading up to our at going through one of the little towns. They're coming over which one
because there's a few that you kind of go through.
It was passed, Ballarat for memory and used to be.
On the side of the road was an old Ford dealership, so it's all closed up and they still got two little showroom there and forwards written across the top. And inside, there was a absolute
Mint Condition looking XG Ute, got nice, so clean, and there's something else under a car cover.
I'm assuming Maybe by looks, could have been like an XP r + XE, maybe well, really pinpoint exactly where it was just, Chillin just sitting in there may be somewhat like the look clean and there was a little Dusty and hammered in.
They're nice to look pretty clean.
Maybe someone's body just as like storage and stuff that they're using it for. Yeah.
But I must say it was very, very clean-looking XG.
Like it looked just like it's like brand-new buying a brand-new like it's never heard anything in the tub.
Yeah it was just so clean. That I saw it as pleasant a
hood, but, you know, I couldn't really get too close to it, but John wasn't look. Great wasn't Beauford by any
chance. Yeah.
Might have been actually. Yeah.
Yeah. It is a really big town.
Yeah. Might have been that one because
they, I'm pretty sure it was past past Ballarat and there was another another town to go through before you had to Ararat. Yeah, it looks look really,
really nice. So I thought I'd share that.
I just remember that now because there's something that See, very often, especially one of those looking mint are all being devil. Had a hard life there will be
news. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh um, some updates and I don't know if you forgot about my STI has gotten a recall? Hmm.
I think it's, I didn't pay attention to it because I don't think it was very, very important but it probably is something about some oil can leak onto the Switch set the sensor reverse signal from the gearbox, and that can cause some wires to, you know, get here and then short out or something.
So, after you get that checked out, thankfully, I can take to any old Subaru dealership so for taking the DSM and one because close, but I still have to get their own eyes.
I just keep forgetting about it, but hopefully, you know, I don't drive it too much, so I'm not terribly concerned, but I should probably get a sorted. The D-Max I actually inquired,
you guys already seen the news in the group chat but I'm quite of the deal. I said you know sometimes you
can get the VIN number on the ship name.
Could you hand me that? And he sent it straight away.
He's very happy is going to through and yeah, the ship had actually doctor that day and the, I think it will seem like 16 hours of ship was an honest way to Fremantle.
So I'm assuming the car was dropped off on the Wednesday, you hope so. I hope so.
Sorry, you know, we'll have to get you another one, or we can cancel your pre-order. That's always an option.
It was really. So when I was watching my, my
ship coming to drop the car, I kept saying a step.
I'm like, we got to go there and see you see when a rock star.
And this ship was massive, and I'm just sitting there in Williamstown, looking at it. I'm like, all right.
Let's go over them. Discover the West gets.
Let's see if we can see them taking off the cars.
I got on my, I was so desperate at that point.
I was like, I just want my car. This Hurry up with my brother
watching works the docks. I could have he sometimes Drive
by The Yards where they parked cars up, might have told him to check it out. That I was like, he's quite
busy. Do you know how long your car
took from ship to the dealership to get rid of sales?
Ready, they always say it's two weeks but my took a bit longer because obviously, they had the issue.
Yeah, so my took four weeks. But if it's usually two weeks
because the have the paperwork said Esther, Angelou date was October 4. So, 2 dealership has yet to
contact us because we also have specific place to go under the car which are transferred over to the company name.
Yeah. So he's open, we get it going to
call the next couple days to say, pay us the money, which more than ever send a check and get the damn car.
Finally the Essex for? Yeah, which Nathan as last week,
had agreed on a price and I was having to purchase I The plates were issued, so it's not only the automobile.
Just generic Suzuki SX4 with generic white and blue plates, Stanley showed it last night and if you wanted to Slimline Black and Whites, but even thing is worth the extra cost.
So, yeah, that's fine. I thought a new battery because
I already have that and got a cool thing from the auto parts store. It's a certain that plugs into
your 12 volt socket with a 9 volt battery.
And as long as you leave the car accessories, you don't lose any of your battery memory or you'll clock memory.
So all the radio stations, everything else is still intact when it is about it. So I'm like, that's a handy tool
to have is like fun, I think nine bucks or so.
And then you better has got a slightly bitter cold cranking amps is also starts help, you know, a little bit better and I've got it. I dropped off the car at the
mechanic today for service and a roadworthy, so hopefully tomorrow evening. We'll get that news and the
copypastas Nathan. You know, he's he's excited to
receive it and I'm very happy to, you know, get him into his own car and then also just have the car around because, you know, he runs up. So I can always get us this
Castle in my sphere. Just like the, the WRX has.
So it's in the hub, Alum Hub. Yeah, yeah.
So it's never like too far away. Yeah.
So I think that's all the colonies from me.
Yeah. Hopefully next week and it's all
about a day max. Hopefully if I can't, you know,
- Izzy. Well we shall see.
We shall see next. Last but not least, marriage a
broken? Yeah, that's a great question.
Yeah, it comes to hunting, so Scotty today, and it's got a flat battery, so that's just whatever I can just charge it back up and should be all good. I'm not dropping the Merc for
obvious reasons. Oh, no, they obvious.
Well, what have we We know it's not working at the best moment.
So until until I can get that into my mechanics, I just going to stay there because I just don't have faith in the car.
I lost. I lost my faith quite a while
ago. Neil Neil updates with with
other cars. So, the laser got a lot of love
on the weekend. I gave it a nice detail and
clean. I want always going to do a
little polish and stuff on it, but I just didn't get around to it because I'll still partying hard from the mighty cats win on the weekend. Whoo.
Almost 200 bucks will not match well tough.
Yeah, so I was very happy man. Has a Zach Angel Explorer but I
took the took the typhoon out on like that night after the game, to celebrate and drive through the city, with my scarf, hanging out the window and you're burning it.
No, I didn't do it, but I was getting all thumbs up.
Like, yeah, like those all like, you know, enjoyable people in, let's just say in the city and as I'm driving Knopf and the cultural nice and clean it. Well, I watched it legit, the
day before bird shuts all over the floor, all over the car like I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
Imagine if it was a spawn as well already it would have been, it would have been so I was a little bit annoyed but nothing was going to dampen them in that mood.
But yeah, as I said I give together wiser bit of love, I took off the rear the rear arm wiper arm because I could see it in Reflection I had the rust was like start just surface rust on top, so I was handed back. Gave it some, some trimming,
trim spray that blocks the blocks.
Very we get, we saw that super cheap, Shameless plug and I, yeah, put it back on it looks way way better.
I think I've seen you guys something in the chat and it looked a lot better then to day my my seat covers, my custom 80 covers were have completed, so I've put them on the car.
Are they actually really, really good?
They fit perfectly as they should and I read the red stitching to match the rest of the red interior.
So I mean, they're not look as good as you original seats, but but at the end of the day at least they're protected and and I was more worried about the driver see because the so heavily bolstered getting in and out they just they just really kind of starting to like I don't like that.
They look fine at the moment. I don't want.
I don't want them to wear that quickly.
So just a bit of extra protection, I'd rather I'd rather be safe than sorry with that.
Got a couple other things. Full full of year.
So actually. So I was like, well, excuse me.
I'll get the, get the accessories that that were offered for it. So I got the genuine Ford phone
holder the the brooch like protector, like, you know, scuff guard protector and the and the middle trim that goes underneath the the boot lid. So it's a protects the rear bar.
Well yeah. But that was pretty much it.
It's like all the old little other accessories are that I could have got another time managed to to get irony and the factory umbrella holder that that's made for the fiesta.
So so Darkness, so I thought I'd get those while I can.
And tomorrow, I'm going to some my sister I because we as you know both teachers we are taking that hoe hoe or a star on a road trip. So we're going down the Great
Ocean Road to Warner ball, then to Mount Gambier.
So we're going to say man game be for the night.
We've got a place at the pub there that we want to stay overnight. Then we going to drive the next
morning to hand off and have lunch.
I have a German style lunch and then go to Adelaide.
Steps going to fly in on her. She can't get off work until
till Thursday evening, so she should be there.
Thursday evening will pick you up from the airport.
Go to the accommodation. And basically, spend the next
day in a bit, in Adelaide dropping around, go to go get a cup of wineries. You know, R is the Barossa
Valley. He talks about all the time.
I'm there all the time, you know.
Yeah, don't forget the bird would motor museum.
Yes. Hey and And we'll be doing that
on the way out of or either the way out of a delayed or on all as we go through Hondo, because it's called because economy there. So we'll so we'll we'll stop
there. And yeah, just come back on
Saturday afternoon. So make our way back out, way
back. But I'm I got the forest
already. Its filthy on the outside of my
Clarissa. What have you done in like this
is the my car was nothing to do but in but she's kept the interior Immaculate. So it's always vacuumed and
stuff. She's like what's the point of
watching it just Every second day I'm like yeah that's fair and she drives a lot of dirt roads when she goes to work.
So the college is just completely covered ever since she had the clutch done she said that the pill doesn't feel right like I drove it today and it's like it's got like good about that. Much play in the pedal before
anything happens, which is weird.
So it's like the spring in like that pushes back.
The clutch. Pedal is just kind of just said,
I don't really like it anymore because I but but but the clutch works. Fine.
It's Flawless. Took that first little bit.
It's a bit weird because You got to change again you're like oh geez it hasn't come back so you have to pull it back up with your footage but it's only by like let's say 3 cm at that at that at that it kind of doesn't doesn't come back all the way up. So I will have a better look at
it tomorrow morning before we leave, but in touch you like, I'll be driving like it for like six months.
Michael, why are you going to be stitches?
I can get around to it. So standard my sister said to my
sister things but now it'll be like I've driven that car to a delay before so it'll be, it'll be it'll be fine.
It's a great thing that Forest are so.
So yeah. That is my kind of dacians is
clearly a mover and Shaker, man, moves all the shakes.
I think we'll do what we did with them.
It's quite early last week with the guest account.

Yeah, sounds good. Here we go.
It's called cryptic Scotty. That's the name of the segment
money. So whatever you guys.
Cryptic cars, it's got his cryptic.
So you got for dodging all that, you'll hear that part but then the model name is going to be changed by using a thesaurus.
For example, a couple that we had last week.
I said a Subaru Freedom which would be a Subaru, Liberty, Honda perception would be a Honda Insight So that's just to get. You started a food party would
be a Ford Fiesta. Yes, I'm going or not.

That was a damn good one. David was in the earth thesaurus
this week so he's not weak then spent yoga going through.
Sporting up studying works. That's how I learned.
All of my English. I learn more from the
television. I love it.
Well, it's your topic now tonight.
Yes, it is a favorite cars from each major car manufacturing country. You know, will include Russia
who want to because I do at least manufacture custom Styles but yeah just going through the favorites for people starting.
Let's start with easily because you know it's got its got a variety of supercars. I'm going to pick a Supercar as
well. You know Fiat 500 here.
I'm going to go for War The Pagani Huayra.
Hmm and you know I know it's generic speaking supercars and everything. Else.
But compared to the the Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but only being a somewhat newer company. You know, in the mix of those as
Rich, haven't put it, their goal is best to, you know, make that bedroom wall poster. Yeah.
And the wire definitely, you know, encompasses that really really well like they know that I'm going to sell a lot of them.
They were, you know, well over 12 million dollars to buy.
So there's very few people in the world that kind of And those that Campbell. But for the most of us it's just
going to be, you know, that kind of.
Yeah. Ideal poster or something that
we can like I'm just imagine something so beautiful.
You know, overall design wise the whole life shifting mechanism which you know when it's got the whole Flappy paddle gearbox, he really needed but they still made a manual shifting mechanism and just the intricacies of that, the intricacy is a whole interior and the fact that they've got to try and test. It was it V12 twin turbo?
Well For me that cards like the one in they couldn't touch isn't it like in terms in terms of post our postal workers like it's just over the top but it's it's where's the the Countach was kind of brutish and a bit like just crazy.
I think the the wire is actually kind of like bit more elegant.
That makes sense. The mirror of gone up all the
way to the front. Yeah, coming out and shape are
just absolutely beautiful looking and also like white, I'd say out there looking as well. So, let's Let My Telling pick in
contrast to what you were saying.
My pick would be the original Fiat 500.
I think that coffee that coffee me.
The cinquecento is probably one of the most important cars of all time and it's just every time you see one, it makes you smile because they're just so cute.
And that there's a video of like all these famous people that own them and Marcus Schumacher's today.
Lee won plenty of videos images, driving a Fiat 500 around.
Yeah so you know if that That if that arm, if that doesn't, you know, tell you how important, you know, you know, and funny little cars are that. That's that's basically, you
know, Yuki there are absolutely iconic.
I think if any one, any Italian theme or any any Movie Makers or anything like that, if you're looking for a scene that that's got to be easily, you put a Fiat 500 in it and you see movies like The Italian Job, obviously. I mean, when you look at the
traffic, seems, Of that movie. There are literally thousands of
them everywhere. Brilliant things.
I mean, the word one of those cars that were just, you know, the kind of Genius in terms of the way that they were packaged, you know, there there are called, they're very simple Mechanicals. Like they somewhat reliable and
they're the perfect. If you ask me about the perfect
City car would be on me, like, that is the perfect City car because it's like if it's in a small, Italian red light, it's perfect for Italy that car. It is just is I think if you
could get a better car for Italy, Well, maybe maybe in the 50s and 60s, except that holds true, but I think there have been some variations on the theme.
You look at the original pandas, you know, they would nearly as iconic. I think to a lot of people as
an, especially their stay at push four-wheel drive system that they fitted to them. They're quite collectible
wheeler-dealers of done a done an episode on those and that was that was hilarious. But be a certainly Horsepower
and the the fallback roof and 500 all the way.
And and I think the release the new 500, how long's that been out? Now, that's about 10 years ago
now. Isn't the new for 500 press
release? I mean, that just cemented it
again for people all over the world.
I think that and my only made the old ones more popular again, I think, yeah, I completely agree.
Like it's, I honestly didn't think that we're going to nail nail it with that with the new one.
And I think they kind of did like it.
They kind of did. What many did?
I will be MW mini did work with the new meaning and like they just, they just they just nailed the design.
They actually just nailed the whole, the whole brief of that car. Yeah, the new ones, not that
good of a car but in terms of, in terms of a stylistic choice that's virtually the modern-day equivalent to a tee.
Absolutely. What are the rest of you, boys?
Where's your Italian cars? I've always liked or wanted an
Alfa Romeo been? Yeah.
Once that I trust and ones with my electrical problems and it's hard to find so we can model stands out for you wrong.
Oh, I really quite like that shape.
That Erica, the dog great car for their time, except for the rust issues, maybe some mileage vehicles and that the current Potter fertilize fantastica, Ferrari Force the for c4c.
Yeah, that's another nice card, of course see.
Yep, so there's a couple of nice little cars there.
With the alpha Fleet. Absolutely.
The sorts of course I mean though, pretty iconic.
Yeah. I was going to say that the sued
if you got if you got if you got a suit like what, like a tea I was in the ti, they had like there, they put the Real Performance one there. Yeah we got them here.
They're only a two or three dog either to.
Yeah. Some bit like they were quite a
quite a hot hatchback in the day, though, you know fun to drive River flood engine. Yeah, fun.
Little car. Yep.
Absolutely. Mine's a bit of a bit of a beast
from Italy, the prg 08. That's, that's the level of
italianness. That would be such a big head
turner, maybe not as hardcore as Pagani but But I think I think it might be it's something that I could see myself driving around the streets of Melbourne in.
It's so cool. It's also known as the Vespa
calm. I'm looking at them now and the
driver spot. Yeah, they are such a cool
little thing there. They still made from 1948 to
present like that is over. Yeah, credible.
Run said, I want him to not want to sound like a complete.
Popular outward. You know it's actually
pronounced are pay. I'll pay okay and our pays
actually Italian for what. Yeah because that's the sound
they make coming up with you. Well I got no I don't know a
mosquito but yeah I'm pretty sure that's that's what translates to. Yeah.
It is a long this would be the time when for what That's it.
That's exactly what it sounds well.
Yeah. Okay, my Italian is not hesitant
failed me. Imagine some lygon laps in
those? Oh absolutely.
I think you would get a lot of attention to something like that and you know I think the fact that it's just so unique like you can keep your feet 500 so you can keep your vesicles this is this is this is where it's at.
That's a great choice. Been in production for over 60
years so it's you know, it's an impressive pants, very impressive car. I can completely agree with you.
There mr. Is I would happily have one in
my in my fleet are going to just be a fun thing to do to get around in you can you could like, get through the little places and they'll be like, oh well well at least he's going, there might be a little bit of. I mean, that's not Italian, I
don't think it is but Ed's obsession with my folks.
Yeah. Absolutely.
You've got to be in the, in his words sick.
Yes, but yeah, I can is it. I've never seen one in
Australia. But yeah, there's a few, there's
one actually sits. There's a homemaker Center not
far from where I am and there's one parked in the Homemaker sent as a coffee shop event. That's cool.
Yeah, yeah. So there are, there are a few
but it's a pretty expensive. If you can find one here, you
know, obviously full import but of course you don't need to get them. I'd love to write and drive
because they're only middle of the road right hand drive, so you don't need to worry about that.
At least but yeah, certainly the commercial version of the Fiat 500. Basically, that's that's the the
inference I think I always thought they looked similar to like a, like a, like a 2cv in terms of like they're, you know, the structure and stuff but it's only like Hospital guy work with isn't trained teacher. Obviously from Italy will leave
the really cool life. He he he Of the Japan lived in
Japan for like 10 years, married, a Japanese woman, then came to Australia. So it's funny hearing him talk
on the phone and stuff because like he'll be talking to like his colleagues in Italian, mean English and his wife in Japanese and just swapping between all three languages like like like wow, that's impressive. Anyway I was told him because I
told him I want an original Fiat 500 and he's like all my dad used to have heaps of them. He's like he's like I if you
want if you want to like a vest for anything let me know because like I can get them a lot cheaper over there than you can get them for here. That's what I'm talking about.
Your Fiat. 500 goes for here, he's like bloody hell.
He could be forced. It was fell off his chair.
He's like he's like he's like you can get it.
You can get like the best one in the country for almost that money so well. So I was like, or leave it with
me. Yeah.
I have to get a feel for murder, but he loves him and he's like he's like if you think if you think Italian things, you think of, you know, Pizza, you think of Fiat, 500.
So it's there that iconic and and and Biagio Or, you know, like The Vespers and stuff. That, that's another thing that
comes to mind. When you think of me, think of
Italy. Absolutely.
I wonder if it's like the UK, where the three will cars actually were popular because they could be driven on a motorbike license, correct. I have been viewing.
These May well be the same in Italy that you can actually drive them on a boat on a scooter license.
Because I was, the reason of the Isetta in England, right?
Like, that's right. Yeah.
And the Reliant Robin. Okay.
Yeah. The Bond Bug Bond Bug bugs are
cool. I like one bugs.
Cheese. All right.
Mine from Italy, it's nothing overly special, but for some reason I've always been drawn to it and it's Ferrari.
The 599 GTO. Hmm.
I like I know something about it but it's always captivated me.
It was about. It's also 59, in general.
I am like, that is a good-looking car.
And that is, you know, if it's a for a front-engined Ferrari, it's it's stunning. Like, I still think it's But
because the ten years old now that design or if not more and it still holds up really really well.
Yeah. I think it just looks fine.
I just understated I guess in a way you know for Ferrari.
Yeah. Can't go wrong with their V12.
I'm glad they still making them for now.
Yeah, just sounds fantastic. And if you still want to go
iconic, I mean, you can't go wrong with the F40, really?
No, I mean, that's the ultimate real car, isn't it?
Yep. But best thing that they did, I
think was was the F40 have you ever worked in this video?
I have actually a couple of them.
All right? Yeah.
Yeah. They still get scratches and
tears and things in them. Is it true about how thin the
paint is on those? How did the paint is can't
confirm or deny? I'd have to say I all the ones I
see a pretty shiny, pretty read pretty red.
Usually yeah, I don't know, the, when I think of paint and Ferraris I think of the, there's an Italian word for it and it's something like Tripoli or something and it's the three layer paint on them and it's about it and it's about a thirty thousand dollars. Strong where they actually paid
the car. Three times to actually, which
went out to the weight. I've just got to say, just
saying, but but yeah, they a lot of the, a lot of the non red ones they can do in this Triple AAA a pain, I think, Ferraris for me and like, a lot of lot of these experiences, a go back to your childhood. But I actually went to school
with a guy that whose dad had a 275 gtb/4, and I can remember, Ember, he take me for rides, around the streets, near School in this thing. It was, that was pretty amazing,
incredible looking car. I remember him, showing me the
engine and the other firing order of the 12, cylinders the plaque on top of the Bonnet went on for like half the length of the Bonnet in the firing order. That was a stunning stunning
thing, but there that don't two or three million dollars.
Now, I think you can find one loose change.
I'll get my check Now they're, they're they're pretty cool.
I think, I think it's aliens are known to do very pretty cars on.
I like they're very, very pretty and petite and been a looker.
Not always, but, but most of the time I do something.
I was, I probably like a year now.
But yeah, I I can I completely agree there.
Those curly like that. Those two are great for re
choices. I'd also add to their like the
550 Maranello. Something like I'm I liked it
and I liked it. I got a bit more, you know, GT
Torah than out-and-out race car kind of feeling.
And and I kind of like that because they got they got to be more usability. I think this is the guy, the
Rangers and they want to that's got nothing.
But anyway now I fix what But yeah, look, I think it'll easily is a good one to kind of start with because they Italy.
I mean I'm ashamed to say that I like Alphas in, you know, in a weird way. Like I really love, I really
love I 147 GTA GTA. I'd like to I'd like to see how
bad I could understand into a tree know, I would I would genuinely think that would be an awesome car to drive a guy.
I used to work with had one had a black one, and everything was just a pocket. The front of the of the of work,
and people coming to be like, who's Jude?
Hays are like, and they had a bit of an aura about being like, you know, it's obviously a big Powerful V6 and a front-wheel-drive little hotter hotter Arch, but the the aura was definitely there. And, you know, and the Saudis to
make an Easter like I see, him down shift, coming coming into the into the place and you around, I just hearing that unit thing. You always bounce off red line
and made a great noise. It looked quite good.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind one of those.
All right. Yeah.
Or Alpha Julia. She kind of didn't like them at
the start but I kind of like them now.
And so we talking knew Julia or old Julia.
Sorry. I should, we should we should
make that clearer than usual. I'll be the old Julian like
that. That's, that's probably, that's
probably one of the most iconic cars but the new one I can't quite like it as well. Like I've seen a few of them in
person and they come in a really nice.
Dark green. Have you seen that green?
They come in and they it's actually stunning to stunning color when I hate to own one long-term but I think I think I think overall that would that would be kind of a kind of a cool one. The also got a soft spot for uh
for another 75 for some unknown reason.
I don't know why but you see I'm beginning a 33 Monte Carlo so the four-wheel-drive Wagon in a 33 they were pretty pretty cool.
Not many of those in Australia but there's a couple, how many have you seen not one? Not for very long, not for a
long time? But yeah, I mean, there is, but
it's a bit like, you know, if you think How many say class bins wagons were so compared to C Class A Dance.
It's pretty much the same ratio of think, but even less again because there were what we'll want the lot less than 33 sold than C-Class vendors. But for some reason, I think all
the 33 Monte Carlos, we got here, were wagons, so it was silver. They're all magnets.
But they, I think they were all silver.
I don't think I've ever that's not seen, send it a color other than silver, really? Hmm.
I didn't think I did. but I thought they would have come in
all the colors like, I mean, but I will, I will defer to my Alpha loving friend and not on that one.
And don't quote me, but I'm 99% sure.
They're always sorry. All silver.
What about? How does looking at what risen
through the little Vesper, towing truck with the with the other? It's so cute.
It is so damn cute. What about lancha do they have?
They've had some, they've had some real nice cars, okay?
We catch fire and kill you. But for the most part quite
nice. I like it, Delta integrale a it
because they, the quite an ugly car but they're they're quite they just got that kind of cash a about the mothers just so cool. But besides that, I would, I
would quite a lot quite like in Monte Carlo.
One of those Nancy over you. I don't know if you guys are so.
Yes, it's but they're kind of cool looking car.
I thought they were like oh yeah, really.
Nice-looking piece or strata Australis is just super duper cool. Like that is, you know what, it
one of the cars. If I had, if I had to bike ID,
card will be by ABO by a strategy car and put like an alpha v 6, and then that would be, I'd be a happy man.
Didn't correct me if I'm wrong but in Herbie Goes to Monte.
Carlo didn't Herbie fall in love with a lancha multi multi caliber probably probably. Actually I don't think I don't
think I'm see that one. I've seen a few other of the Of
the Heavies. And but I don't have seen that
one. I think that's a thing.
Any other ones gentlemen, before we move on, we didn't touch on but the classical are the Lamborghini Miura.
Yeah. That's why I went to the museum.
We actually, that's the first car that really caught my eye in their Museum out of all the Lamborghinis.
Yeah. It was very nice car.
Absolutely breathtaking design and still is today, there's been one of the four buttons in Richmond for quite a while Nora.
And it's it's stunning bit of Kit.
Yeah. What do they go for these days?
I think if you have to ask the really not not for you, many are you know, I was gonna get my other checkbook out, but that wasn't. Now, I think they are.
They are beautiful car. Yeah, it's just.
This thing stunning cupboard. But the Italians we known to do
some crazy stuff too. Like they've done stuff like the
LM. Oo to the rainbow rainbow Yes,
we've seen a few of those that there is a few of those here in Australia and I believe a set of tires on them is 20 grand from from memory from, from what of. So that's why a lot of people
change the wheels and other aftermarket wheels on there, because they just just like 20 grand is a lot of money Arabian Market. Yeah, I think so.
But was it two of them? Yeah.
Pininfarina is making it easy. All right Easter.

That's a very cool looking. EV R is get on that stuff.
Mean you're the you're the EV going I've been I've obviously been attending lygon Street pizza, shops to get into some Italian so then I can speak to them when they invite me, I think it's a little bit big deal with that being beaming because the think ashes boss bought one. Oh yeah.
