Taurus, for us, Taurus for us. Who bought that new #3

There's a professional radio. There was this front wheel drive

so. Have you got anyone you want to

thank? Just myself and now I do the

after hours, gentlemen. What would you go for?

They see us in there. OK, and because it's not a super

duck. What it is, it's not.

Automatic perfection comes in the form of 2 letters A&U.

Long live my Ltd. Welcome to Carl to get shoes out

here at 98.9 NW Affirm. It's me, Maddie J online with Mr

Edward Bunting, Mr Dave Prince and Mr Scorido Johnson.

How are you gentlemen? Hello.

Thank you all good, good. B.

Greetings to you. How are you, Matthew?

Good. I've been waiting for someone to

ask me how I've been and. We all care, Matthew.

We all care. Thank you.

We don't care. Get on with it, Matthew.

Move on with it. Tickety Boo.

Yeah, Tickety Boo. No, I'm good.

I'm good. Thank you for asking.

Edward. Eduardo.

How have you guys been? Edward Bunting?

You were first on tonight. How are you going?

Yes, Edward is quite well person like you know like a School Report could pay more attention during English.

Yeah, no, quite good. In terms of hang on, is this how

are you or is this car updates? You can lead it into how are you

into car updates, that's fine. Well, I think let's be

efficient. Let's just do car updates.

So where did we get to last time?

I bought. A Triton.

Did I mention that last time you.

Did. Yep.

So OK, we've talked about the Triton I bought last week.

Maybe the one you haven't heard about is a Hyundai Gets.

It's my first ever gets. Great car.

They are a good car. It gets a good gets.

It gets. Now of course when one buys

something from an auction, you don't get the chance to sort of drive it necessarily. My friend did have a walk around

a few cars including this one and said no, it looks pretty tidy, you know. Now this is a 50,000 kilometre

jet, so this has not done a lot of KS 07 model so.

What's that the? Big Block 1.6.

Yeah, 1.6 big block, Yeah. So 50,000 K manual, 2 door gets

1.6. So I thought, oh, that's a good

thing. And I picked it up on Friday

about lunchtime. And the guy who sort of brings

them around to the office where you picked them up said, oh, the clutch is pretty high, It might need an adjustment.

And I'm thinking it won't need an adjustment, it will need a clutch. So I got in it.

My God, it is the worst clutch I've ever experienced, though.

It's so worn, you know, the, the, the gripping and then not gripping like when it's fully out, you know, so it's sort of like grip and then not gripping then gripping down here.

I was telling David this early today.

So I, I crawled it out of Mannheim and started to drive home and then thought, oh man, I've got to go up the Westgate.

How's this going to go? This.

This is not going to go well. And I thought if it dies on the

Westgate, there's no service lane.

I was just sort of projecting Vadnais, but I stuck to the left lane, third gear and just feathered it up there.

And I thought I'm moving forward as long as I'm moving.

I was doing like 45. There's trucks right behind me,

really getting annoyed. But once I got to the top, I was

able to sort of scoot down the other side.

And then I decided to take Kingsway because that's less risky than the tunnel. I thought if it dies on the the

slow creep out of the tunnel, I'm screwed, so I made it home and then very quickly packed it and didn't touch it again.

But that I just thought yeah normally you'd drive it.

Now the clutch is a bit worn. None.

This thing is gone you. Know who's owned that car

originally, right? Well, I know it it it's one lady

owner. She's in every receipt right up

till recently and I'm guessing she's a little older and I think she's ridden the hell out of that.

I would have said so. Yeah, 'cause to to kill a clutch

in 50,000. You're doing quite well.

Was that a undercover car? No, no, it wasn't just I don't

know if that was traded in somewhere or or if she stopped driving or who knows, but it but it's got an amazing service issue. Every service in the book, every

receipt in the book, you know, like it's all there.

And ironically, at the last service, which is in Feb this year, not that long ago, you know, you read the service, changed the oil, the spark plugs, did this, did this, did this. This was at my car or somewhere.

No mention of clutch, not a mention.

And I thought surely in 800 kilometres it's dunce from then to now, you know, surely it would have been worn then and they would have said we recommend you do a clutch unless they didn't drive it, which it can happen.

You know, I thought, don't know test drive or anything.

I just found that strange. I'm almost tempted to ring them

and just be like, hey, report anything on this car at all.

Like it's, it's the worst I've ever felt.

So anyway, so that'll be getting a clutch next week.

What's the plan with this car? Like I said.

This is just a buy and sell, then I'll then I'll sort of advertise it and yeah, on we roll.

I like a guess that's a few. It's really tidy.

It's that light metallic blue and you know, 2 keys, factory mats, original radio, like it's a, it's a tiny little thing.

Good little runner for someone. That one.

The Triton got a detail today. I lost the E Class for about a

week because it went to my parents on, they borrowed it and then they both got COVID so they couldn't come back.

And then and then it was sort of just offline for a while.

I had to sort of delay the roadworthy check on that till next week. What else have I done?

I put new headlights in the Triton rather than having the Polish. Sometimes you can go online and

just find them quite cheap. So for $189 I think it was for

the pair. I got 2 brand new headlights

delivered to my home and yeah, pretty easy to pull the old ones out the bin and makes a big difference to the there's so many old cars just really look a bit average in the front because of the lights. The Swift, I sold the little

auto Swift, 59 messages on that car.

So an auto Swift at reasonable money with the road.

He's a very good seller. And I think the Moke, I went to

drive the Moke on Sunday because the sun was out and as I backed it out of the garage, I sort of was walking up to the front of it and I thought, oh, there's a few drips coming from underneath there. What, pray tell, is that liquid?

I thought it was coolant, but it's not, it's petrol.

And I'll increase that to the petrol pump, which is mechanical on the back of the motor and one of the, you know, there's an inlet hose and an, and an outlet side or whatever. 1 of it was

spewing out from the end of one of them.

And I thought it was actually from the top of the pump itself.

But I really do think it's the hose.

And so I've got to just chop a bit off that, you know, to get rid of the split sort of and reattach.

And that should solve it. I think I did ring the MIC guy

and sort of describe the pump and he said, yeah, I think, I think it'll be that. Yeah.

That's an easy fix. That's an easy fix even I can do

that. That's my car updates.

I think nothing else rings a bell.

Very good, David Prince. Updates with me.

I've been enjoying using the N1 more the last couple of weeks while I've been batching. That's become my go to car.

I've got the ZRV tucked up in the driveway.

Had that serviced for $199 driveway no more to pay cut price you know Service plan 199 so that's done. 30,000 KS now

30. Jeez, that's racked him up.

Yeah, 30 terracing how? Long have you had that?

It'll be two years in September. Oh, OK.

September had a call from the Volkswagen dealership actually, who sold me the Caddy four and three quarter years ago to make an appointment to discuss my options at the end of my options. When does the lease come up?

Not till December, but yeah, they're getting in early I suppose. Probably.

And what if David in the financial year I'm I'm guessing, yeah, yeah. What are you?

Thinking David, will you continue in the Caddy?

I can tell you David would have said.

My officers are. I've never bought a caddy again,

but that's. Well, I think he will, because

there's not much else. There's not much else.

You're completely correct. I'm not spending $55,000 on a

new new van, though it's going to be close to 55 for what I've got now. The only advantage is that

mine's still worth not much short of what I paid for it, which is crazy given that it's it's only done 65,000 KS.

How many? How much more warranty has it

got? It well, it's that expires in

December as well. Yes.

So I went into one Volkswagen dealer.

It's a tough one because the, like you say, the price of the new one is sort of exorbitantly more, yeah, not really worth it.

And yet you don't want to be in one out of warranty either.

Sort of a tough position to be wedged into.

It is. It is, but I I assumed this was

coming. I've still got a question mark

over the squeaky earbox. I've talked to a couple of

aftermarket places that say yeah, we can change the oil in them. The dealer won't change the oil.

I've even asked if they'll do it, you know, and I'll pay for it. But no, no, no, you don't need

to. They're sealed for life.

Yeah. Well, their life is very short,

so change. Correct, correct.

Define life. Define life.

Define life. So yeah, I'll see what they have

to say, but you know, I think there's a residual 9 grand or something. So that's basically what it

loaned me at the end of the end of it.

But it's probably worth close to 30.

So you know I'm if I could find something interesting to replace it with. Maybe a Japanese import van?

I wondered about that I could buy a nearly new K car and a new nearly new nvan what it was, but is it big enough?

It would be big enough. You'd do that.

You know you wouldn't, you can't seal off the the compartment from the paints and all that sort of stuff, which some people who have driven my caddy have said, well you can't do it now either, but there is a bulkhead in it to separate the.

But you could you could have a custom something put in that someone would do that for. Me, absolutely.

Yeah, it's not as. Easy I would.

Need a fibreglass and rubber rubber seal around the edge?

Nice matter, doesn't matter. A bit of fabrication.

Yeah, yeah. Where's Rob when you're leading?

So yeah, anyway, I'll, I'll toss around a few options.

I don't actually mind just paying it out and keeping it for another 12 months and just see what happens.

Famous last word. You did that last time and you

had some big bills. No, no, no.

I sort of Oh no, no, no. Last year I had a five year

lease with a three year warranty.

This one, I had a five year warranty with a five year lease.

That's why it's still under warranty.

So yeah, I mean, if I did get rid of it in the next few months, it would still have factory warranty.

So what was just? Retire and don't need a van.

Well, that might be one of the considerations, so you know.

Even better, just alleviate that whole problem all together.

You just want him all to yourself, Edward, so he can do all your work. Yeah, it would be handy having

David more available, yes. It would.

It would. And I'll come to you.

You know I can come to you. Nice, but probably the highlight

of my my my week car wise was a quick trip to Adelaide.

I flew over to Adelaide on Friday morning to meet with Mr Andrew Ricklesworth, he and and his blue wife Laura, who had arranged a meeting with the head of Public relations from Mitsubishi and a fellow who is I presume, Historic Trust, SA I think they call it, who run the Beta Birdwood and also run all sorts of events tied into S Australian Government Department. That's tied into running events

of historical significance, which, as it turns out, Magna 40 is an event of historical significance.

Is it really? It is.

We had an on site meeting at the Tonsley Innovation District, which is the old factory which has been really interestingly repurposed. There's a very large space,

about 1600 square metres. Undercover or outdoors?

Undercover. So is that what we're going to

be indoors? Indoors, yes, there's there's a

great, there's a like a looks almost like a portable classroom in the middle. It's quite funkily styled and

designed. And that's the Tonsley pod,

which has a big screen in it for video presentations, seats about 30 or 40 people. So yeah, the meeting, you'd say.

Very, very. Productive indeed.

So all the things are moving forwards towards October 18th, 19th and then Saturday morning we had breakfast and jumped in Camille, the Camry, the 2002 waggon, that's Andrew's everyday transport that turned over 400,000 K's A.

Click. On the way over and just drove

home without without the slightest hesitation.

It's a Camry. It's a Camry, it's a Camry.

And what what KS are on it when he got it 60 something, I think, yeah. 60 he's got it 16 years and they had 60 on it when he

bought it. Wow, wow, that's.

X Children's Hospital car, I think he said it was.

Yeah. But, you know, like a fleet car

sort of thing. And he bought it from Chadstone

Toyota. Yeah.

So sorry. I saw a 2 tone V6 one of those

yesterday on a club plate. I'm like far out.

That's wow. And that's a 4 cylinder, isn't

it David? He's cut.

Yes, yeah. Yeah.

So it's a two point. 2 two, yeah.

Yeah, 2.2. Yeah, but I drove some of the

way and, and Laura drove some of the way and Andrew drove some of the way and the the trip just whipped fast.

Mind you, we were compiling a Magna 40 playlist for the event and going through the top top 100 Australian songs of 1985 through to about 1991. So we've done the first six

years of the playlist. OK, that was a lot of fun.

I got to say, some absolute crackers in there.

So yeah, no. But really, really good weekend,

great company and fantastic. Oh, we stayed, we stayed at the,

there's a Mantra Hotel in the, in the in the air in the innovation district. Yeah.

So it's literally a minute's walk to the to where the event's being held. So perfect.

There'll be there are some rooms available there if people haven't made other. Arrangements I've.

Booked the Magna frat house. The Magna frat house.

I know, I know. Yeah.

Frat frat. House is sorted.

Lovely, lovely. So, yeah, Corey.

Me. Mr Turbo Terry is joining.

Turbo Terry, this is unheard. Of Mr Turbo Terry himself.

Anthony, how you doing? Three years.

Not too bad lads, I exist. Turbo Terry, this is like, this

is like some sort of mirage I'm seeing.

The stars of a line, Mr Bunting. How rare to have you on Car

Talk? Busy man these days, busy man.

Evidently. How we all been going, guys, How

we all been doing. Yeah, Good, good, good.

Good. Good.

Getting some sleep. Yeah, yeah, I can't complain.

She's little one's actually been a been a sleeping machine of recent. The other night she end up doing

from 6:00 PM to 11:00 AM with a handful of dream feeds in there.

Wow. Yeah.

So I am taking it and rolling with it at the moment.

Got a little little baby camera going for the moment while Jess is doing having a bit of a fee which has been down for probably the last hour and a half. Excellent, I've.

Got a lovely shift at 5:00 AM tomorrow morning, so I'm going to be off to sleep in the in the short times, but unfortunately I can't delve into details on that one.

That one there's something for for another time, for the more interesting events that's not on the public broadcasting is.

It to do with the mushroom. Not quite, but some people will

get some nice awakenings. Ah, Yep.

Yep, Yep. Yep, Yep, Yep.

Long as it's not my. House.

Ah look, you know I can always make a quick detour for.

I ain't done nothing. I ain't done nothing.

Yeah, that's, that's what they all say.

That's what they all say. I swear, I swear.

We're just in. We're just in car updates

currently. We're up to now.

Scotty Scotty updates with you. No real car updates.

I gave the blade a wash, but it was kind of pointless.

Yeah. After today and our parking lot

is kind of gravelly mud, so that'll flicked up.

That'll flicked up and dirtied it again.

So that was pretty annoying. Played golf on Sunday.

Not really car stuff, but you know.

I was going to say you need to get there in a said vehicle.

Yeah, yeah, it was a nice drive. That back Rd's getting a little

bit bumpy, though. They need to patch that up a bit

so it wasn't as fun as it usually is.

From where? To where?

Heading up to water end. From Sunbury.

Yeah. Yeah, so I go the back, go to

the back roads, and that way you can go to like Hanging Rock and Mount Macedon and stuff. So no freeways or anything.

I don't take the freeway. Yeah.

And yeah, it's just getting a little bit rough around there.

I think the roads, potholes popping up everywhere, need to patch them up. But it's still a nice drive.

It's really nice view and everything so.

You know what? I.

Mean where the where the held out and I'm.

I'm hearing Mayor Scotty needs to needs to make an appearance and say hey, listen. I think it may be more road

work, Scotty, more than anything else.

You got to be more effective. It's like, just get out there,

fix it, do something, do something.

But then if you get them to do Rd works, it'll be closed for a couple of years. Yeah.

True. That's just with signage.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, They do that to fix

any kind of issues, yeah. There's huge industry in making

rough road ahead signs. Yeah, a guy with the school with

was driving on this road and and he misused like it, it was just the for the 40 signage for the road works for a good six months and nothing was getting done. So he's like, no, I'm going to

go, I don't care. I'm going to do 80 kilometres

per hour. And the one time we did 80 KS

and now he got pulled over and lost his licence and he's like, they haven't done any road works.

Nothing's happened in six months, so.

He wasn't very happy with with that, so yeah, but no, I I understood his frustration quite well.

Near Water Gardens, there was near an intersection, there's this big, big dip that sunk in and they just had a sign there for so long that just said careful dip, didn't bother fixing or anything and it was pretty bad.

I mean, if you tried to go at just normal speed, the speed limit, it would do some damage. But yeah, they just had that

sign up. That was it.

I. Thought you'd be careful of the

dip mate. That's it.

Just be careful of the dip. No fixing took them forever.

The sign's gone now and it's. Yeah, I guess it's fixed.

Probably won't last very long though.

Yeah, never does. But you know, tinfoil hat on,

yeah? They're on.

Yeah, I reckon they do it on purpose so they can go back, keep getting that, keep getting that money, so they fix it, you know, not the best on purpose. So they get to go back and fix

it again in, you know, 12 months time.

So it's an ongoing cycle. So they've always got work.

Absolutely. Guarantee I'll keep mine on.

So in the 31 going well. Going.

Around, I haven't driven it. It's been sitting there for a

bit. Oh, I did get I did get one of

these my new Speedo. Hey.

So it's people listening in. It looks like a the very first

Game Boy. So it looks like one of those

and it's Speedo. Yep, I put one in my car and

it's great. It's it's awesome.

Be better than the heads up one that's in there at the moment that's just hard to read and everything.

So this will be much better. Yeah.

So I'll plug that one in soon and then, yeah, take it for another drive. Very nice, Mr Terry.

Not really much on the way of updates, you know, Crown's still breathing, so that's a start. Territories doing territory

things and it's chugging along, still making its Choo Choo noises, still drinking like a fish.

Yeah, not really. Not really anything in the way

of car updates. Again, still, still hunting

around for for options and considerations later on down the track. The most recent one was there

was AV 60 that popped up in the T8 variant, which was pretty, pretty solid deal for 2019. And you know, unfortunately that

one there is already already gone.

That was snapped up pretty quickly.

It had like 70,000 KS and that was like 46 ish thereabouts.

Other than that, there's, I guess this is, this is, this is probably actually something which can be a topic I think that I sort of throw in there and it can maybe, maybe Ed can sort of answer this one with his Billings in dealing with cars and everything going on. But the topic can be why do

dealers do this when you've got a car, which is when you've got a car and a watch list? They keep dropping the price.

There's an XC90 at the moment that I'm keeping an eye on, which was down AT49999 drive away and they've re bumped the price back up to 54, triple 9. And time and time and time again

you see them where they always just go in cycles.

They drop back and drop back and drop back.

They've been sitting there for ages.

And then it's always sporadically they're like, we'll just bump up the price by 5-6 grand for the sake of it.

The reason I think the reason why they've done that is because it's not there so long. They've got, they've had to pay

the repayment on it. And so they're like, well.

It owes us more now. Oh, I'm, I'm sure it is, but I

mean, again, it's, it's trying to get blood from a stone sort of situation. If nobody's going to buy it at

the 49, why the fuck are they going to buy it at?

Why the hell are they going to buy it for another 5 grand on top of it? It's just a little bit a little

bit bizarre and that. I must admit I I wouldn't do

that unless there would become really good reason like, oh, I've placed all the tyres and the gearboxes, I don't know.

Yeah, I could understand something like that if that was the case, which would then lead you to have more questions about the car than anything else. I mean, I even remember it was

probably a good two or three years ago when I was having a look at the BMW 750IL one that was an auction house that was initially at like 14 or 15 grand.

And sorry, no, it was in an auction house that sold in the end for 12 grand. A dealer ended up listing it for

like, 1516. And I was interested in it at

about that point. But again, you know, as it

always is, it's just not never the right time.

And then all of a sudden they jumped it up to like 38.

Yeah, Yeah. And I sent them a message and I

said, hey, guys, look, I've been watching this for like, the last six months. I'm interested in it, but I just

want to know what's actually being done to justify the increase of, of all this money. And their response was just,

yeah, no, it's actually a collectible car.

So we just, nothing's been done to it.

We just want to increase the price.

But if you look at what happened, it caused you to contact them and that's probably what they want.

Yeah, it causes me to contact them, but it doesn't cause me to buy the car, which I think that's really what they want.

But they might then get you in based on that and sell it to you back at 18990 or something. You know, sometimes I'll just do

it to, yeah, I suppose get a just have something happen, some sort of action on it, you know, whether it's quizzical or what.

But. Yeah, yeah.

Might be that. It was it was on Gumtree.

So I mean you can always expect the quality that there is there, but you should still. The IL on Gumtree What?

What what go wrong with? That oh look, don't get me

wrong, it was had the full books, had all the insurance and outs and everything for it even managed to find the original auction listing that had all the same details as well.

Interior was Immaculate. It had I think in the end it was

like 140,000 KS and it looked like it was genuine 140,000 KS sort of car. I think that was a was, it was a

79 or an 80 as well. So in 19791980 it just looked

like it had been just sat in story the full time, which obviously is problematic in itself.

You can imagine all the rubbers are going to be perished in that. But you know what could go wrong

with the five litre V12 from Europe in the 80s?

You're a brave man. Yeah.

There's something about them, and it was the clamshell bonnet as well. So I mean that just added to it.

They're a cool car. They're like, there's no denying

they're a cool car, but you're a brave man, Anthony.

Dumb, a lot of would say. You would you do the work on it

yourself? Can you?

Can you? Are you that mechanical

aptitude? I was in like just changing all

the rubbers and whatnot in the car.

Look, probably not, but you know it would really be.

I would still consider it if for how little lower drive a car and again, obviously you're absolutely.

Sorry, go on. Yeah, I was going to say,

obviously it's an absolutely calculated sort of situation of things and it's not going to be a daily car.

You know, even for the for the Crown, I think in the time that I've had that which has now been seven or eight years, I think I've done 7000 KS. So I mean, it would literally be

seldom used, and given that it's an old V12 Beamer, you would have to drive it so seldomly in case something went wrong.

But you're absolutely running the Golub with anything like that. Well, if anything goes wrong,

you're like I said said with with R129 SLS, it's 2 grand.

It just like it starts, starts at 2 grand.

It's it's. Two.

Yeah, yeah. So if you just don't drive it

and just stare at it a lot, you're fine.

Yeah. Yeah, correct.

It's a lovely thing to stare at. I totally agree with that.

Absolutely beautiful thing to stare at.

Occasionally turn over and then just hope like hell that nothing breaks in the interim. Absolutely.

So, yeah. But territory's good though,

yeah? Yeah, territory's good still,

still doing its thing. I think it's probably got

another 4 or 5000 KS for the next service.

The only other things I'm considering at the moment, which I need to probably still finish up is again, when I, whenever I have time, whenever that exists, is redoing that bit of the cut and Polish on the crown's roof to try and get some of that oxidisation, which has sort of gone on with it for ages.

But just try and put a bit of shine back into it and a bit of protection on it. And then look, I said I've, I've

had the crown for a long time. It's it's probably time to sort

of move it on, but you know, try and at least neaten it up a little bit more than what it is, all things considered.

And again, there's not very many royal salons that are floating around from the 80s and even less that have their sellers have an entire garage for the dismantle ground in there either. And I mean, mind you as well,

I've still got the, the spare engine and transmission, which is sitting up at my mechanics, which I haven't, I haven't spoken to him. Probably probably should give

him a call because he's been sitting there for over 12 months now. But he, he was going to going to

see if he could get to turnover because it got probably about 2/3 of a wave of rotation and got, got stuck on something.

So it's either going to be a big paperweight or it, it could be a value. But I mean, that had, I think it

was 170,000 KS. So I mean it's better than 310

that the shells got on it, you know, even if the even if the engines cooked to still have a spare trans and still something decent. Yeah, you know, extra extra

parts, extra selling points. Nice.

Nice now very good. What about you, Maddie?

Updates with me. What have I done?

I've been a really I've been really flat out I I've picked up the MR2, so I've been driving that driving that around the laser hit 350,000 cars. I don't know if I mentioned that

on the show, but I think I mentioned.

Yes. And last week the I've owned the

Fiesta. Not 4. 100 so can't get too

excited. It's not for that.

And not. Sorry, so sorry, Andrew, it's

not. So I've from yesterday

officially earned the the Fiesta for three years.

Like I was like, what the hell. Wow. 3.

Years that's gone quick. That's gone quick.

So, so yeah, to that that's. And and and how many times have

you driven it or is it more just still Steph driving?

Steph drives out a lot more than I.

Do so, yeah. Yeah.

Except for the steps back and then stuff like that.

So yeah, I. How many case is that done in

three years? It's just hit 10,000 case, so

OK. Yeah.

Yeah, it's, it's driven a few times a week and it's, it's, you know, it's nice. I, I drove the Typhoon on

Saturday. I haven't driven that in a while

and took that out and I kind of fell in love with it again because I was, I was just kind of like, oh, I was just sitting there and then I drive it and I'm like, oh, This is why I like this car. So that was good to give it,

give it a nice burn. And yeah, got her on the boost

and it was like, Oh yeah, that's it's surprisingly quick that car. So it reminds me of like, I

don't you know it because it's actually quite smooth.

It doesn't feel the speed it's doing when I look down at the Speedo and you're well over 100 and you're like, OK, I probably should, you know, kind of ease back off that now.

But when it does it in six gear and you don't have to drop a gear, you know, it's just it's it feels really it it feels way faster than it should be. So you say, yeah, that was good.

Gave it a good run. Enjoyed that.

And that's pretty much it on my car Updates now, gentlemen.

Now Eddie Bunting in particular was not here when we've done this last The Who bought this when new.

And I mean to to do 1. I think Anthony, you've played

around at this, sort of you've played around, David, you've played around at this. I'm excited.

I'm excited for this so. Every answer is Ed Bunting.

Every answer is. Yeah, I've never bought a new

car in my life. Every car that you purchased is

deemed as a new car. Well it's new to me, but exactly

I don't think I'll ever buy a new car.

I really honestly don't see ever and any reason why I would.

There are less and less that you aspire to, that's for sure.

Oh, it's not. Even that, it's just, you know,

even if there's something I want, like a Jimmy, I would love a new Jimmy, but I would go and find a new Jimmy that's three years old, that's done for 2000 K and save myself 10 grand like that. I would always do that.

Never be a brand new dealership straight brand new.

I don't think so. There's.

Too much depreciation on it unless you got, you know again company car sort of situation of things.

I've driven plenty of new cars because I had them as work cars for many years there, but but I've never gone and bought a new car and I yeah, it'd have to be something like pretty special for me to consider doing that. Yeah, I bought the one that I've

that I wanted and I said, well, this is this would be it.

And it wasn't, it was pricey, but it wasn't like ridiculously expensive. And I'm like, you know what?

I'm happy that I that I that made that purchase.

So yeah, it's if it was anything more, I would have been lucky enough so, but but then again, when I was looking, the second hand ones were more than the more than the when they were new. So I was like, well, that's but

anyway, the first one is a car that Edwin Bunting has owned at one point and oh, for a long time, this car was the only one of this brand he owned. So Edward, when was The Who

bought? I'm going to ask you all

actually, who bought a Ford Taurus gear brand new and when was the last time you've seen one?

I cannot remember the last time I've seen one, but but who bought them new? Now Ford's selling point for

this car was it didn't have need to have a major service for about 150,000 KS when it had to have its time belt done.

That was their that was their kind of look, look at look at how good our selling point is that you you only have to do oil and philtre until until then. That's not you know, you're

struggling with. That's the selling point when

who bought these new because this is meant to be the the Falcon replacement. Remember, like this is that they

brought here to to to say that this is going to going to replace your. Waters.

Your your Falcon. Who bought it new and when was

the last time that you guys have seen one?

I couldn't tell you when I saw one last, probably.

I. Owned.

Who would have bought that new? They weren't specific.

They weren't particularly cheap. No, they were pricing.

A gear A Taurus gear was what in in the 50s?

I want to double check that. I want to Fact Check that while

you guys get. Fact checked that I think it

would have been bought by certainly no one at Oh, no, look, it might have been someone at Ford might have gotten one because they got such a heavy discount they thought, oh, bugger it, you know? And they had them, a lot of them

lying around, and they sold them.

Yeah, and they would have offered them to staff, you know, 55 grand Taurus gear might have been, you know, 32 to staff and you might go, oh, bugger it. I'll, I'll, I'll have that.

I'll have that for the wife who would have bought it new.

I think the the skew would have been male.

I think the skew would have been male who didn't know cars and who was bamboozled by the curvy panels and the fact that had.

Wanted something a little bit sporty making quote unquote.

Like someone who's talked themselves into it from the suburbs. I don't think it would have been

a city dweller, I think it would have been outer suburban and they would have seen good value compared to an Ltd or a or a fair lane and a bit more modern maybe.

So I'm going to say 50 plus year old living in outer suburban Melbourne with no sense of taste or style whatsoever.

That's. A good one, yeah.

And and male. That's what I would have said.

Oh, you see, you see, I'd be, I'd go different on that.

I'd, I'd say that it would be. I said I think there would have

been a high percentage of female owners.

Really. Because they were the premium,

but they'll market it as a premium Ford at the time, but smaller than like an Ltd and or a fair lane one of those sort of cars. So you and it was a bit more

exclusive, not there weren't as many of them around.

Oh, there weren't as many, that's true.

And they came in like metallic, metallic mushroom.

Like purple and. Green.

And Yep. Yep, I was.

I was doing work for bibs to walk forward in queue when they were released. I I can remember them clearly as

being and. What were your thoughts when you

walked up to the first? Hideous.

Hideous. Yeah, they, they, the the pre

delivery guys were not a fan of them either, but they, they also had that American cache, you know, they're actually, you know, Ford's an American company.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. From.

America, but the fact they're a bit smaller, maybe it was Q, you know, in the eastern suburbs and they they sorry they.

Weren't 42 they. Were 45 grand. 45 grand.

OK. Yeah.

I just think, I think it was marketed as something a little bit special and a bit upmarket from the from the local offerings because it was a full import from America.

Yes. The only thing I'll say about

it, just having a look at a couple of snaps of them, did anybody realise they came in a waggon variant?

They did not here, not here, no, no, no, but I'm just looking at that was in the in the Japanese market.

Of course they did. They told us all that, but it it

they had the, what's the, the Mercuria pillion passenger seats that face the wrong way, the oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Seats, yeah, yeah. They had those set up for it as

well. It does look much better in a

waggon. I will say than no I agree.

It's one of those cars that did did, but we weren't lucky enough to get the Wags. Yeah, yeah, this, this dumpy

looking thing that had been left out in the sun too long.

That's basically. Guys, have you heard the

original, the original ad campaign for like the first tourist, the Jelly Bean when it came out, No.

I probably have I, but I I distinctly remember forgetting it. Oh, it was brilliant.

It's now there's a North American car.

That's that's exactly what we've been waiting for.

Toys for us tourists that is. Guys, just be singing and have

you driven. I'll send it to you guys at the

end. It's it's actually quite funny,

but like, like the more. American.

Car. The first, the first like

generation of the tour. Well, the first, you know, two

first generation past the facelift weren't a bad looking car. They were actually and they were

they were they were quite a revelation that changed car design. And then this one came out,

which is the one we got. And I don't know like what

happened, like what they were on for that for that to happen because. You know, there weren't such a

sales success because, because, because Taurus actually saved Ford, which is, which is a bit of a bit of trivia for you guys.

It's a car that saved, saved the company because they they were, they were in all sorts of strife.

And Neil, it's just, it's remembered as Australians.

It's remembered terribly because it's that's the car we got.

And, and they weren't very reliable and they were, they weren't really, they want a good car.

But every time I've seen, I've seen a neat one, it's an old, it's always been an old lady that's gotten out of it, that's driving, that's driving the car. And it's got, it's got a dash

man on it and it's got this and it's got that Lady.

It's been after. And it was clearly someone was

probably their last car or retirement car for me.

And they've got it on a good on a good on a good deal because Ford couldn't sell them. They were just sitting at the at

the at the showroom. That's who who I kind of

gathered would would have bought that car as a last car.

It was your, it was your grandma's car and your grandfathers car A. Retirement.

Retirement Car. It was a retirement car.

Yeah, it's the car they bought when they went for a Fairland.

But the got the dealer was like, look, Fairlands a bit big for your love. Look, you know you want

something smaller and and then let's have a look at this.

Have a look at this one. This is we've got, we've only

got 3 left of these. We've had these three for the

last eight months, but. And then there's a, there's a

big factory bonus on them. You know, they're really wanting

to promote the North American cars out here.

Yeah. They they would have done an Ed

Bunting Ed Bunting special and they would have basically said, you know, you, you don't wanna you don't want to bloody the a fair land or an Ltd. You want this.

And that's how they got in the door.

And and to be fair, Ford did that to me years ago when I when I was looking at my for my typhoon moms like, oh, this is we had an afternoon. We walked into the Ford

dealership and I'm like, oh, I'm looking at a GCC Turbo.

And the guy looked at me. He's like, mate, that's an old

man's car, You don't want that. You want a Focus ST?

I'm like, no, I want a GCC Turbo.

Well, and he's like, yeah, don't want that.

He's like, look, come over here, test drive this, have a look at it. And I was like, oh God, here we

go. Back when I went to get my dad's

Pajero, you know, well, look, look at the Middle East and see what dealer stock was around. I walked into one dealer and I

said I want to talk to you about Pajeros.

And he goes, oh, the Pajero or the Pajero Sport?

And I said I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

There's only one we're talking about.

He's like Fairpoint. Absolutely.

The. Proper pajero please.

The other one is not proper. So that's who I think bought.

I ended up with a Taurus because like or or would have been a a yuppie in the 90s who wanted a premium ish car and they ended up with a Taurus. I don't remember the last time

I've seen one. Honestly I can't recall seeing

one on the road in years and years, but I was kind of thinking the people that bought them is a a salesman.

He's got his phone clipped to his belt.

He. Does, yeah.

And he's, he's on a mission. You know, he does a lot of

driving, a lot of sales. That's all he does.

He's always on the phone. He's got something really shit,

like like toilet paper or something.

There's something, just something really mundane.

Yeah, vacuum cleaner bags. Yeah, you know, before Dyson

came in with the with the bagless stuff, you know, it was all about vacuum cleaner bags. That'll be big sale point.

That's what he sold. He's got his phone here clipped

on and deals like, yeah, come on in, I'll show you this.

And he's he's on the phone though.

He's like, no, wait, wait a minute, because he's making his important call. He's got one of those dove grey

vinyl jackets on that. Phone busy man, he needs a car

that will get in places because he's got to do a lot of travelling and he's got to be comfortable though and he'll listen whatever the dealer says he's.

A salesperson. Not no clue.

No clue. So yeah.

We've got no, no clue style, nothing.

No. It's a statement.

Lived alone, lives alone. Yeah, in the basement.

And then and then whatever the dealer says, he just regurgitate that picture. Anyone that will listen and he's

got to just reply to everyone he meets.

What's that car? Oh, it's a tour.

He has to justify it all. Yeah, exactly what was just

whole word for word? He just regurgitates that.

Straight back American. Yeah, this is the number one

selling car in America. Sure.

Yeah, Yeah. Did You Know?

This in the. Ltd, more features.

Absolutely. Oh, I did test drive a Falcon.

It was nowhere near as comfortable.

You. Don't have to service it to

150,000. Yeah, I don't even have to worry

about servicing and I do so much driving selling my my vacuum cleaner bags. Can I tell you I sell vacuum

cleaner bags? Have a look in my boot.

Yeah, I've got these ones. For Dyson's, this one's his.

For Hoovers, this one's the best.

Have a look at this one. I.

Mean there's more room in this boot than a Falcon.

Did I tell you I test drove a Falcon?

No one knew as. Good as this car.

He would have got stitched up on all the paint protection stuff too, because no ladies want to look at this guy.

Yeah, when the minute the aftermarket lady pays a little bit of attention to him, you know, David's gesturing in a lewd manner. He.

Got minged lesbians. He got minged.

So the minute the aftermarket lady calls him some attention, he's he buys everything. The Scotch guarding, the paint

protection, the window tin. He gets the lot.

Nice. Factory mats.

He looks, he looks at her and goes.

I'll need the Scotch guarding owing.

And she and she laughs so long because she has to, because she wants the 3000 package to be sold.

One of mine, really. In some mind, she's.

Thinking yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Never. Mind, she's throwing up.

Yeah, he hasn't reached target. For the world 2 with a 10 foot

Taurus, yeah. Yeah, so that's what I was

picturing, Jersey. Who bought a Taurus?

I'm in the same same bat as as Scotty, to be honest, So I did pick to the business salesman. He he just beat me to it.

But I I I don't know whether you could get any more accurate for a description of it. It really does.

To sum up to AT, no, that's. That's.

So I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to jump on board with what he's saying. But yeah, that's that's the most

accurate buyer I think of the whole mix.

When was the last time you guys had seen one?

I haven't seen one in a very long time.

I kind of, I can't even remember the last time I've seen one.

So that's that's how long it's been.

OK, the last time we did this I actually saw one the next day, so I'll send you all a photo tomorrow.

Yeah, that's true. They're all going to start

popping out of the woodwork now, yeah?

I dare someone to buy Taurus, put on club plates, bring it to cars and coffee. You'd win cars and coffee.

If you found a mint one, you'd win you.

You don't do it. We just look at Emil's Chrysler

Neon at the last time or. That was cool, that.

Went off well. I was actually going to say that

they do really give Chrysler Neon.

Vibes they really want. Sorry they.

They really do give Chrysler neon vibes.

Oh yes, yes, of styling and design for the Yankees.

Like I looked at that the tourist and it's like it screams crossing the eye. Yeah, in saying that, I can say

that because I did drive a crossing the end for my first car, which was my brother's car. Yeah, I did, I did yeah.

That was that had a had a bit of paint problems and was rolling around in in undercoat grey. Very classy styling.

Interesting story behind that one though, is that that was during the rice affair. So it was completely riced out

with a spoiler and body kit and everything like that too for good measure. But when when we end up getting

rid of the car it was I think we end up being just like one of the car pickup places or whatever else it was.

But the three speed automatic was deemed more valuable than the 5 speed manual. So I think, I think like the guy

was like, oh, you know, I'll give you 800 bucks for it thinking it was an order. And then Kate was like, oh it's

manual and give me 500 bucks. It's just like mate, just take

the car. Yeah.

That's fine by Neon. Yeah, yeah, that that car had a

lot of stories. Drove up to Mount Bulla, the

rear boat ended up freezing open and we had a a rope that was going from the rear boot hatch through to the back seat and the passenger had to hold the boot down.

I'm pretty sure that same snow trip was after it was rattle cans and my brother left a spray can in the engine Bay and we didn't realise till we got home that the spray can was still in the engine Bay and somehow it didn't explode.

Fair effort. It's a fair effort.

Yeah, there were. There were lots of, lots of

stories of that, of snow troops up there and and problems.

Somehow the Neon got there and back.

Good car, good car, next car. Next car.

Who bought the Honda CRZ That's. 12 people.

Yeah, not many people. Correct.

No, it was and letting you guys know this was a wheels car of the year, you know. It was 2012.

This was a car that that was like a spiritual as A to a CRX, which in itself wasn't a massive seller overseas was was quite a good seller, but it in it was a spiritual success, but it wasn't a proper successor to to the CRX and I and I think that's what hurt it in a in a lot of ways. But who bought a CRZ new?

It might have captured a couple of CRX buyers.

Yeah. I think a couple of them would

have would have found their way over into a CRZ.

Even though it wasn't quite as sporty, it was still pretty sleek. And you know, it was the

littlest offering at the time by Honda.

It wasn't cheap. No, not super cheap.

The hybrid technology in it was a bit ahead of its time.

So you might have got some engineering types of going. 0

hybrid battery electric. Oh yeah, I think the skew might

have been more female than male on a CRZ.

Yeah, I would agree with that. Especially if you would do this.

I actually had one guy when I was doing my apprenticeship that was he drove the CRZ to and from site, it was his Mrs Carr and he was boasting about the economy that was on it.

And rightly so. They were very economical,

right? Yeah.

Yeah, no, I remember he would, he would just, yeah, just keep going on about it for the economy and whatnot.

Like he was driving from, I think he was out out West somewhere and driving to Dandenong each time and it was just like, it's just a no brainer for me to take this instead of the other. Yeah, but they they would have

been super economical. Absolutely.

Very good chassis, Yeah, very good chassis.

And they're they're really kind of drive.

But it would be a younger person, you know, it's probably sort of a probably sort of a young professional lady, maybe sort of 40 ish, 35 ish, got a bit of coin, you know, grew up on a Civic maybe, or maybe ACRX and then and then went and went, Oh yeah, that's sporty. And I don't have kids.

I don't have to worry about being practical.

I'm having that lives in Windsor or sort of like, you know, Richmond, maybe Cremorne and you know, it came in some good colours and it's the quality that they'd known from their Civic. You know, it was probably, I

don't know if it would have attracted non Honda buyers.

It might it might have mainly been loyal Honda buyers who sort of stepped into it. You know, you know who those

buyers are now and what they're buying.

They're buying Velosters. Velocity, are they?

No, they're not that. I think they're, I think that

same demographic you've just described all in velocities these days. Really.

So you're, you're saying that demographic, I would almost put it down to like a retail manager.

I could see in the CRZ more where it's like, yeah, it's a little bit, you know, it, it's I'm talking low level retail manager, not talking like. You're not talking someone

that's running Myer. Important.

No, no, exactly like I'm. I'm talking like.

Food like you might you might a few days a week manage a a Coogee jumper store or something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something like that, or a Esprit

or something like. That.

What's that like? You know what's that like, gas

man? Valley Girl, Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something in that sort of

category is like a as a manager, like I could see them rolling around, you know? And they were.

They might have been comparing it maybe to a Celica.

Yeah, but but Celica's already done by that point, so.

Was that all over and out by that point?

Well and over well and true they have.

Compared it to I'm, I'm just. Thinking, yeah, what?

What would? It be Astra turbo coupe or

something? It was either between the CR Z

or the Astra Coupe. How much were they they?

Were in the 30s. Yeah, I was going to say 38 so.

Oh, OK. So when did they come out,

David? Were they 2012?

Yeah. Yeah, 2012 to, you know,

20/16/17 they went, yeah. The last of them, yeah, they

upped the spec and the glass had the panoramic roof and things like the reverse camera. The early cast didn't have the

reverse camera instance. They look similar.

They look similar to the Insight.

Yeah, they do like a like a three door Insight instead of A5 door Insight. Yeah, yeah.

So at the time, Honda had four hybrids on sale, well before Toyota. Civic hybrid?

The CRZ hybrid. Yes, the insight.

And the Jazz? When was the jazz hybrid?

Yeah, yeah, GGD. Yeah.

Had 12 or 18 months, they brought them in but they couldn't sell them. They're only like 1 litre per

hundred KS more economical than the regular.

One. I've never seen one.

They've got clear tail lights, that's the easiest way to tell them. Wow, I've never seen one they.

Got a bit of blue in the lights. Are they though?

Yeah, yeah. So there's not many running

around to those not. Many they've got a different

grill too and I think the blue bits in the grill I think from memory. Wow.

Interesting. Yeah, like you got to think what

else was around at the time. You know if, if that was 30 or

38 grand, right? This is 20/12/2013 And it would

you would people are considered a hot hatch or or like a like a warmer. Not a hot hatch.

Like, you know, you got to think what what else there's there would have been, you know, polo. I mean, I'm just trying what

would it be compared to like a Polo GTI Fiesta St, a Suzuki Swift sport like, and they were all well, well, truly cheaper.

So I don't know like that that's it.

It you're right. It's got to be what was its

competition? It's I don't know.

I don't know what it be me monitored against.

And I guess that's why it probably didn't sell that well.

Well, and the other part of the the the part of the other reason why another reason they didn't sell well was the seat was basically an afterthought. Useless, yeah, and and

completely useless. So they really are two seater

car. All right, so so you're saying

Anthony, a sales a sales manager or or a store manager of like a of an Esprit or a or a valley girl bought that Edward saying 35 to 40 professional woman. I'm I'm sort.

Of agreeing with Anthony though, I think yeah, professional, but yeah, they'll like I'll go with the retail, the retail outlet, David Gripps. Yeah, I, I liked Ed's take a

little earlier on the the sort of ticky sort of guy that thought, oh mate, you know, this is a bit, this is hybrid and, and, and sporty. You know, there was not a lot of

the Prius wasn't particularly sporty.

So yeah, it was a a bit of a different take on that.

I. Think the new Prius looks so

good I should really like the new the rest.

I'm thinking like a middle management office lady.

She doesn't have the money to get up to that Mercedes, so she's got to go for that middle because she still wants that two seater. You want that 2 seater vibe

because the two seater, just two door, you know, 2 seater just kind of shows that you know, you're spending a bit of money.

It's sporty, it stands out. That's kind of what she's asking

is. She a bit of a power dresser,

like she might have worn a a brass buttoned power suit jacket or. You know, definitely, yeah, but

just not at the top level yet where she sees her high, right?

David intimating shoulder pads, yes.

I think. Where she sees the higher ups

rock up to work in their Mercedes and things like that, she's like, oh, not there yet, but you know, I could still get something that looks sporty and as a 2 door and stands out.

And as you said, she's probably driven Hondas before or was told, oh, drive, you know, get a Honda, They're reliable and something. So she's kind of stuck to that

until she can work her way up the work way up the corporate ladder and get herself that Mercedes SL she wants.

She's. A gay class.

As well. I I think to add to that, I

think she is a receptionist at A at a Ray White.

Let's take reception yeah they don't earn silly money you know it's so expensive these cars, you know got a one to one bubble all the. And here's the reason why.

All the people I work driving Benzes and and Beamers and she's she rocked up in here, let's say 1 to one bubble.

And they're like, look, it's a bad look for the company.

If you if you rock up with that, get yourself a nice car, but you've got this amount of money. And so so she's went and bought

that and because it was, it looks pretty posh.

It's a Honda. It's not.

Yeah. I think that's how she ended up

with with her. Cut above.

Cut above. I think the automatic sold a lot

more than the manual. From from yeah.

Yeah. So, but yeah, again.

One Matthew, What's the next one?

Next one is who bought a Holden Calibra.

Oh, pretty. Pretty much the same as what

we've just described. First guy.

Yeah, the first guy Calibra, Calibra that more guys car or girls car, I would maybe say more guys coming.

I was thinking guy. Yeah, because it had a Holden

badge. Yeah, Holden badge.

It was a. Euro so.

And. Yep, if you had a bit of

European heritage about you, it was like buying a bit of a Eurosports car but had a Holden badge so it was what was called.

Now, so what's happened is dad's dad's senior graduate university and he's like, he's like, I wanna buy your car, wanna buy your Holden. And he's he that's a storage

Holden man. He's he's got his VL Calais.

Gotta be, gotta be a yeah Aussie man.

Well, even it's not an Aussie branded.

He's got his VL Calais, you know, really original 6, just the 6th order because he's a, you know, he's a he's, he's a frugal man. He didn't want the V8.

So and he says we're gonna, we're gonna as a as a gift for finishing university, for finishing your arts degree, because that you know, that's, that's gonna get you nowhere.

Went and bought him to the whole initials that said, here you go pick your colour. It's gonna be red or red because

they were all bloody red. Yeah, they were red or white,

weren't they? Yeah.

And. Yeah, I remember years and years

ago at Target I saw a white one. Yeah.

And he's like, I'm going to buy you a, you're going to have a Holden and he's like sporty coupe calibra, you know, finishing uni for me, that's a uni gift car.

You got that for finishing uni? So.

So his old man bought a friend for finishing uni.

And then did he keep it long or did or did he did he get rid of it well? He had to get rid of it soon

after because he got his partner knocked up and then now they've got. What did they buy an an

adventurer? No, Well, it's see, that's too

long. That's too long.

After that, I think, I think he would have bought a.

He would have tried to do the the whole family thing and bought a. Vectra.

Maybe they got a Vectra hatch? 80 series.

Vector waggon. Vector Waggon.

Waggon yeah, 'cause it sort of looked a bit like the Calibra in the mirrors. It still had a a a hint of

Calibra about it. Well it's it's Calibra based I

think. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, gotta get the waggon. But still European, still got a

lot of features. All the features so that's

that's who in my eyes bought your hot your Calibra uni students as a gift I. Can I can point out where there

is one I don't know? Oh, there is one.

Yeah, so, so I haven't seen, I haven't seen one in a very long time. All the ones I've been seeing

was so clapped out that were just that were just had it.

I don't know how. The last 1 I actually probably

saw was when I was paying for my my my club permit at at the club and the guy rocks up and he was, he wanted to get his car put on to a club plate and it was a black hole in Calibra.

And he's like, do I put Opal in the in the thing or do I put a hold and the guy's like it's registered as a hold and put on.

He's like, but it's actually an Opal.

He's like, you put it as any. He was just sending the.

Argument with the guy. I'm like, I just want to pay for

this and go like, like you're just sending the argument with the guy at the counter. You don't argue with what

Vicroads have you just you just go along and yeah.

So yeah. The last ones were actually

turbo 4 wheel drive I think too with.

Turbo 4 wheel drive, Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

You've got AV 6 and you could have got that.

That's right. Yeah, Yeah, yeah.

That would have hassle. These are all these are all real

sort of quirky cars. I mean, I'm I'm on board with

the Honda more than the other two as cars, but.

Can I do the next car? Sure.

Absolutely. A AR spider.

Oh, like one of the 90s ones or early 2000s?

Yeah, 90 slash early 2000s. That's a real estate agents car.

Well, that's that's what it was. No, because they can't fit

their. Clients in the backseat.

Yeah, and they still need their clients.

That's true. Alpha Spider, I reckon.

I mean, they had beautiful Chrome in inlet manifolds on them up the bonnet and they kind of would, the pedals were a little offset, but I, I drove a couple when I knew and they, you know, they, they're fun. I reckon you would be the buyer.

5050 split there. I reckon you would have got, you

would have got a bit of both, male, female in that car, you know, the slick back, sort of like little Italian boy would have liked it. Yeah.

And you know, Carla, the 35 year old who'd stepped out of a base model LS Integra in the early 90s, Carla thought that it was, yeah, pretty special. Because they were.

European sports, they looked. Pretty exotic, yeah?

I actually really like them. I've always liked them there.

They've been there've been a car that I've always had or you know, if I would, if I was crazy and had an endless amounts of money and you know, I'd do it because like I think they're a cool looking car, but I I, yeah, I wouldn't do one.

Like I, I prefer the GTV at the end of the the the hard top version of it, but the spider in in yeah, I don't know.

She don't mind the idea of Carla because because you know, she wants to make her, her Italian parents proud, you know, and and something you can park on Lygon. Street and be and be, you know.

Yeah. Lygon St.

And what does Carla do? She runs in a she with her

friend. She runs an events company.

They do, they do sort of marketing launches and events around town and she's got a team of people, you know, photographers and set designs and stuff that she sort of calls upon to pull these events together.

But she's the Co director of the company.

Yeah. And she seats, she was sold on

the red seats and they were very red seats in those.

Well, they were, yeah. I'm going to go with a little

bit of a different thought and I'm gonna go with midlife crisis, divorced dad who has balding.

With some. Chunk going for him and he's

trying to be younger than what he is.

Yeah, yeah, he's, his hair is receding and he has a slight gut. Yeah.

And he would. And.

And. You you could still, you know,

get some grease off the off the top of the hair as well.

Yeah, he is a shine going to it. He would look daggy in a in a

Falcon or a Commodore. And he thought, no, this is

going to improve my chance. I'm going to get, I'm going to,

I'm going to be more attractive in this Italian sports car.

Yeah, like I could even see him wearing like that, sort of bit of a tanned, tanned suit sort of setup.

Maybe I could? Not.

And he might go so far as to carry a European carry all.

Yeah, you look, I I was actually thinking that he was going to be wearing like the tan shorts as well, like the the the blazer over the top, but like the tan shorts and what?

Does he do for work? What does he do for work?

Turbo Terry? This guy.

That's the real kicker. What would he do for work?

Maybe it's something really mundane and this is just a desperate cry for help, for attention.

Is he? Yeah.

I, I I. Think it's just going to be just

going to be a punch in the numbers. 9 to 5 office.

Yeah, yeah, I reckon. It's a desk.

It's just a desk job. He's just behind a computer.

Yeah. But he doesn't know what he

does. He just rocks up there.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, all these. Colleagues are like, oh, he

thinks he's so European with that car.

He thinks he's so special with that blood dam he.

Drives it like this too. He's he's heads up, he's always

he's looking down on everyone else while he's driving it too.

He just looks down. He's.

Definitely * gazing and he's got and he put an Italian, you know the, the, the Italian sticker like you know when you go to to Europe. Yeah, yeah, he's got that on

the. Back he's got the Italian.

The Italian. One on on the and he's got an

Alfa key ring and he loves putting the keys on the table so everyone can see the key ring so they know what he drives.

Absolutely. That's got to.

Be in the bowl, hoping. Yeah.

Hoping, praying, wishing. Can I can?

I just send a shout out. Can I just send a shout out to

long term friend of the show, Mr Michael Green who has a silver Alpha GTV Got a spider which is Immaculate and a gorgeous thing.

I think it's one of Pin and Farina's designs that age particularly well. I think I still they still look

good, yes. I would, I think the GTV looked

better than the spider actually. I don't think Alpha have made

anything. Yeah, GCP is better, yeah.

GTP is better, but I don't think Alpha has made anything better looking sense. It's a big call, but that's my

that's that was the last good car.

Good. Well, this, this extreme

profiling, Michael, is not aimed to be derogatory towards you in any way. For meeting purposes.

Only meeting. Purposes only.

What's the guy's name? This clerical worker who thinks

he's an Adonis, what's his name? It would be an Adonis.

I know his name is Paul, but he likes sometimes when he's out with girls to pronounce it. Paolo.

Yeah, Paolo. Or or or a Giovanni.

Yeah, he's really John, but he'll introduce himself as Giovanni to the to the to the suitors.

Yeah. Yes.

Talks about going to Italy all the time, but he's never been.

Never. Actually been.

Oh, Italy. Italy's great in the summer.

Yeah. Oh, you must get to Tuscany.

And he he loves going to Lygon Street because he feels so Italian on a hot night driving the the Spider.

Absolutely, yeah. Really.

It's all pasta fucking for the kilometre.

Yeah, it's all the same, you know.

Yeah. But did he taste the difference?

Exotic And he likes ordering coffee like he'll, he was, he was an early adopter of ordering a coffee that was not just a cappuccino. Like, you know, I'll have a a

piccolo or a macchiato. So you know, something something

before anyone else ordered it in the early 2000s.

They didn't know what it was, but he was ordering it there because he saw it in a magazine once and thought it sounded.

Like so you want a small coffee? People looking and I want like

if he tried it on at the Westfield Plaza, they would look at him strangely. But in life they they bring him

his order. They know, they know they.

Know I was. Going to say his ideal woman

would be would be more because she has dreams of going to Capri Capri. I think he actually still lives

with his mum. He has a car.

He definitely has a car bra on the front of it too.

This is my favourite. Edwin, is this your favourite

segment like this? Yeah, I love it.

I love it. I spend my life profiling

people. That's great all.

Right. We're going to need the second

part of that question. When was the last time you saw

it? I haven't seen a convertible one

of these in a very long time. But I've you still do see the

GTV's here and there. I've probably seen the GTV's but

a lot more overall, but I honestly can't remember the last time I've seen a spider. No, I can't remember the last

time I saw one either. Couldn't tell you.

Go on. I was at a show or a month or so

ago and there were a few there because it was an alpha show.

Speak. That'll do it.

Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

How? Most of them made it.

No, do you the the the takeaway food thing was powered by a Honda generator. I took a photo of that as well.

At least the food would have been the right temperature, unlike the Cars A. Little bit hot, all right?

What's next quiz? Are we quiz?

Yeah, we'll get into the quiz. I've got a few more on on my

list, but. We'll save them for another

episode. Yeah, we got to save them.

We'll keep it. We don't want to run out, They

don't want to run out. They're great.

I think he likes it too much. I.

Think this on this guy. I'll need to run for my siestas

tune, so yeah, go go to the next topic, go to the quiz.

Yeah, quiz it is. So we did need to.

Enter all this stuff in right into into chat AI yeah that we've made it'll. Come up with a picture of him.

Yeah, so we can see. Someone is doing burnouts in the

car park yard. I'm hoping that they don't run

into my car because I know my luck.

Do you need to go and check I? Want to go check I'll be back in

a? Laser.

Strike, yeah. We'll just talk amongst

ourselves so you can edit this bit out.

He's a. Walk in the Black Forest by.

Now next car Ford Laser 2 Yes. That's it in black.

In black. Manual black.

Who would buy it? Go.

Kirby, someone that's like, obsessed.

Scarily obsessed, hears any noises in the car and he's like got to fix it and stuff and. Oh, exactly that.

It's got a dust inside the car and things just.

It's got met on, met on, met on. Met radio show too, I think, and

they're. Also and.

He's got his, he's got his own podcast for sure.

And they're. A bit delusional, they sort of

think it's like a Ferrari Daytona or something, but really it's a it's just a Blazer with fog lights.

But it starts. Every time you turn the key,

which a Ferrari Daytona may not necessarily.

True. But that's why, you know, it's

got the mats on the mats and it's got the paint, ceramic and all the stuff on it. But really it's like deck chairs

on the Titanic. It's just a laser that's on

what's on mats. It's going to be great when he

chooses to really listen through this.

Yeah, yeah. And no one else quite

understands what the hell he's on about with this thing.

I bet he's probably got a typhoon too or something.

Oh yeah, definitely. And and there may be a laser

just for good measure. Yeah, he.

Just pulls out the typhoon so he makes makes him feel big again.

Yeah, feels a bit masked when he wants to, but he likes a little hatch that's good for shopping. Little, little fierce, you know,

maybe the shop bags could be green as well.

And we're. Back.

Yeah, we're back. Sorry guys, There was you could

never guess what cars, but there was two cars having having some fun out there. One of the least most, you know,

burnout cars you'd expect. A Ford Ka No.

Close though. AR Spider.

No, it was a Toyota Life and a Toyota Echo.

They were. They were doing burnouts.

Nice. Echo has to be a rental.

Having a turf war, what's going on?

Hopefully you've chewed them away.

Moving on, I'm. Good picturing.

Just go shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot up the front.

So David Prince has currently written the quiz for us tonight.

I wasn't able to. Quiz That means Matt's going to

win. Let's just call it now.

David Prince. Sceptic.

Just just get to it before if we.

Had reality now can I just check my buzzer?

Ed. I didn't hear it, sorry.

Say dude, try again. No.

I didn't get that a little louder.

Like you said, it's not like you said, Matt.

Yeah, came through with Matt. I'm telling you, this thing's

rigged and called shenanigans, you dirty boys.

Where's Alan? Where's Alan when I need him for

support? OK, here we go.

That's where he is, so he's in downs.

Where is he? Townsville.

Townsville. They're doing.

There work for parts and stuff. You drive up in a truck, they.

Flopped. They flopped this time.

So oh. Nice.

OK, there you go. We ready to go, we all.

Ready to go? Mate, you've got your big hand.

Matthew all ready to go mate. Question 1.

Lexus of this week announced the LM500H ultra luxury people mover. It's priced at a barmy $220,950.

How many seats does it have? Ed.

Ed 8. 8. Incorrect.

Matthew, I'm I think you're gonna have captain's chairs at that price. I'm gonna say 6.

Incorrect. OK.

Cool, Scott. Oh, I'm gonna.

Go 7. That'd be incorrect to about

Jerry I. Think I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go

10. That would be incorrect as well.

It actually has four seats. What?

So it's 55. $1000 a seat, yes. That's.

That's its selling point, so Google it went later.

LM500H ultra luxury. Is that including the front two

seats like the drivers and the and?

The front two seats, so the rear is just two like first class.

I've I've just done a Google it has a 48 inch ultra wide display in the back of the car. There you go.

That's why there are no extra seats.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Question. 2 is pretty pretty mundane, but you've got to get a

mundane one or two in. The Volkswagen have just

released the third generation Tiguan mid size SUV.

How many engine options are there?

Ed. Ed.

Bree. Correct.

Listen. Bonus question.

Yep. In kilowatts, what are the three

designations? I don't know.

Matthew. Matthew.

So do you want me to name all three of them?

Well. A point for each.

I'm going to say 105, a 174 and for the R line or R 20, no 225.

Incorrect. None of them are right, sorry.

Yeah, that's fair. And.

Yep. I'll go for the bonus.

I'll go gonna go a little bit more than that.

That 105 I'll round up to 110. Yep, one point. 01 point, OK.

Hey, 274, I'm gonna say 140 and then 190.

Incorrect and incorrect take. Take the 1:00.

Absolutely you will. Scotty all.

Right. I'm going to say 145 and the

other one's going to be a one 186.

Incorrect, sadly. It's a 110A-150 and A195

kilowatt. Oh yeah, I've been a 195.

It's a bit of a shame, yeah. That's disappointing.

Yep, talking about Power Question 3, this is Mercedes have just released a new performance flagship sedan called the Mercedes Amge 53 Hybrid Auto Plus.

What is the combined output of its 3 litre turbocharged 6 with its 120 kilowatt electric motor nearest to get to the point?

Power output. In kilowatts, yes.

Ed. Ed. 500 and.

Two. I bet 2.

Matthew. It doesn't matter because you'll

get a turn. Go for a mat.

I'm going to say 734. Scotty, sorry, that's.

Not, I was going to say like 468 I'm.

Going to say 520. OK, Scotty's right, 450

kilowatts. OK, there you go, Scotty.

Hold on. 71034 was a little optimistic man.

I realised as soon as I said you didn't say 6363 is the big dog, that's he said the 55 and I was like, ah, OK, I've.

Yeah, 53. If Brabus got their hands on it,

then maybe. That's right.

Take it to OK, another another bonus question for it.

Now what? Was the answer how many?

How many kilowatts? Was it 4?

150. Who got it right?

It's only got 468. OK.

That's rookie. That's rookie numbers.

That's that's that's. I think it's a bit light on

personally. That probably explains the

price. So do you want to go closest to

for the price? Matthew Yeah, 280-6286.

K. Yep.

I would just go 200. 200 and I got.

The lower side. Ed 302. 302, Yeah, yeah.

So that's a 5 litre Falcon engine to you.

Thank you very much the. Windsor. 3O2 mate.

I'm going to say 250. 250 all good guesses, Anthony.

You're $100 off. It's 189 dollars, 900 dollars,

$199,900. It's a bargain.

Bargain. I'll give you guys a score.

Check. It is only the 53.

I'll negotiate on the 302, you know.

I'll give you guys a score check.

Edward one, Scotty 1, Anthony 2 myself.

Get the score or Matthew. Matthew's good.

Don't worry, he'll come back, Don't worry.

He always does question 4A. Romeo has gone back to their

roots for the name of the new baby SUV that's going to be released locally in the third quarter of this year.

It fits just under the Tanale, which is under the still view.

I call that the toenail. I know a lot of people do.

So this is a smaller than the Tanale and it what's it going to be called? Is it?

Is it a name that they've had before?

I would take that from the the entrance direction.

I think it's the fingernail. The fingernail.

'Cause they're smaller, that's right.

That's. Right.

Incorrect. Not correct.

Not correct. No.

Not surprisingly, no. Oh.

Jeez. I'm Beno.

I wish I was, that'd be awesome. No increase Maddie and Scotty.

I wouldn't be able to guess. I don't know.

Matthew the Piccola Corsa. I don't know like.

Piccolo No, no, no good. Scotty not guessing.

No, no. The junior.

Junior. Yeah, cool.

I say that it's close enough to the Bambino.

Junior. Coming.

Is that full electric or a hybrid?

OK. There you go, Question 5.

Which model did Holden debut? The Calais nameplate that they

lasted. Matthew.

It it was first. Thank you, Toby, for recognising

that. Yes.

Do you feel? Just answer the damn question.

I'm really going to string this out a little bit now, Matt, just revel in the glory. The Calais nameplate I'll

probably get it wrong, I think came out in the VL.

Ink, Matthew. Matthew.

That'll be the VK. That would be correct.

Oh, they did it earlier. VK 1984 Bonus question, what was

the name of the top spec Toyota Lexan version of the Commodore?

Oh. Ed they did a Lexan Newport.

Correct. Version.

Bonus bonus question, why was it called the Newport?

Ed. Ed I.

Don't know, I'll take a stab. He was called a Newport after

the suburb Newport Overseas because it's an exclusive suburb. .5 You'll get .5 for that.

OK. Over the other side of What did

you mean Newport near Williamstown?

I mean an exclusive suburb called Newport, which could be Ivan. If it could, Well, now, yeah,

given the prices now. That's right, yeah.

It's. Fine.

PBD please No. OK, No one else got any idea?

No, no. Newport, RI was where Australia

won the Americas Cup. OK, Yeah.

It's a designer of the winged keel that.

OK, exclusive in Lexan, I said it was exclusive.

Yeah, I know, but that's not not the reason.

It was poor Newport. Do I still get half a point?

Yeah, I think you got half. OK oh that's I thought you

rescinded my half. So high, high maintenance.

In my goodness, this is this is outrageous.

Score check. Please Maddie, score check.

Scotty myself would want a piece, Anthony currently second on two and Edward currently leading on 2.5.

That .5 got him just just a 2. Point. 5.

It could be a Discovery diesel, I could be a Vectra.

You could be a Vectra. Yeah, I could be a Subaru

Liberty heritage. Hold that thought.

Hold that thought. OK, actually 6 Most cars have a

warning time to alert the driver to various conditions, like leaving a door open, a receipt built, not being fastened.

Well, the headlight's theft enough, the car's turned off.

What's significant about the chime in a Honda?

Matthew. Matthew got in first.

It is Morse code for for H. Correct.

Did you know that too? Hang.

On Say that again. It's Morse code.

It's like it is like when you leave the key and it it does that charm and it's actually Morse code for.

HI, never knew that neither. Did I chill some?

There you go, Matthew. You're a guru, that's what you

want. For H.

Yeah, that's a. Well I've had unders that go do.

Do do. That's not Morse code.

That's the headlight reminder it that's not the Morse code.

It's it's the key when you leave it in the key in the.

Ignition the key. It's 4 beeps.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And.

Why is it Morse code for H? Because it's Honda.

I mean, is anyone on a submarine sort of picking up that all these keys have been left somewhere?

Or what's going on? Why are they doing that?

I'm pretty sure in Hyundai in in their Kona they don't have the H badge for for the for Hyundai they've got 4 dots and that's Morse code as well for for H for for.

Who's? Using all this Morse code.

Morse code. No one since about the 40s I

think. Basically, question signals.

What question? It's 1994 and you're needing to

choose the colour of your new car.

You've got a new company car. Amongst others you can choose

from Sarajevo white, Alaska blue.

Ed. Ed.

It's BMW. No, it's not interesting.

I'll continue with my colour. OK, sorry.

Continue. Monarch Blue and Stardust

silver. Now these these aren't all the

colours you could get it in. You said curbs are red before.

I did. That's BMW.

Well, it's also another mate too.

Holden. You couldn't get Sarajevo white

or an Alaska blue BMW. I think I think it might be

Holden me. Yeah, Matthew, I was going to

say it'd, you'd be looking at a Commodore.

That would be incorrect, I said. Hang on, is it Holden there,

David? It's not a Holden, no.

Oh, because Stardust Silver, I think that was on Astros.

I think they pinched the name, I think bit of movement around, but I thought this, this, yeah, this collection of five.

I could give you another 3 or 4 colours that they came in but that would be please. Oh, they'll give it away.

OK, give. It away, yeah.

I like this game, this colour game.

This is a good one give. It away.

Turbo Terry Scott, come on, come on.

Sarajevo rings a bell. No 1990.

Can you? Is it Opal?

Is it Opal? No, it's not a.

In the US like. AI know, I know what it is.

It's OK. Why?

Why should I give you a hint that no one else has got?

Yeah, that's question shenanigan.

Look. I, I, I was, I was throwing it

out there to try and be inclusive for everybody being in the same boat. Thank you.

Don't, don't go your police talk with me.

There's three people are out. You're out.

You're out, Terry. You're.

Out. No one didn't.

The third person was out. Fuck.

It go Mitsubishi. Correct.

They're all colours available on the Mitsubishi Magna along with as as we have that's. Yeah, see, that would have given

it away. What about?

What about Cascade Blue? Sorry, Calapso calapso calapso

blue. Blue cascade Blue.

Scottie Scotty won myself two at 2.5, currently in lead, Anthony

on three. Whoa, look at that.

OK, question eight. This year, 2025 as we all know,

marks the 40th anniversary of the Mitsubishi Magna.

What other important anniversary does it mark for Mitsubishi in Australia? Matthew.

Matthew. Is it 50 years in Australia?

No, it's the 45th anniversary of something.

OK. Significant that they're going

to be celebrating it. It's like it's going to be some

like maybe Rally Championship or something like that.

Good guess. I like what you like your

thinking in. OK, OK.

No. No, OK.

Got nothing want. To go Scotty.

No, got nothing. OK, it also makes 45 years.

Mitsubishi Motors acquired Chrysler Australia.

OK, Yeah. Sigmas were priceless to begin

with. They.

Were, yeah. Became Mitsubishi in 1980.

OK. Chrysler.

Sure. Chrysler sure.

Question 9. What does WRX stand for?

Matthew, look at that. World Rally Experimental.

Correct. Yes, I thought that you thought

you might get that. So for the last question, it's

anybody's game except Scotty. Yay, I got faith in the Scotty

still. Ed can win, Anthony can win and

myself could possibly win. So Anthony and I are tied and Ed

could take the chocolates if you could jump both of us.

Do you feel like I'm going to try and?

Screw you all and get this one right.

Go Scotty in 1995. In autumn of 1995, Four Wheeler

magazine compared 4/4 wheel drives that were on sale in Australia. They said this about one of

them. The turbocharged an intercooled

2.8 litre diesel is incredibly tractable.

Ed. Matthew.

Anthony, that was me. That was me.

Yeah, it. Was Yeah, I heard you.

You got me first. Ishi Pajero.

Correct. I knew it was.

Already going to be the Pajero as soon as you started on that one there. And I'm like, is it going to be

what is the car? What?

Like I just wanted more of the question.

I knew what it was. Wow, what?

Is that was very good. Score check Scotty won Anthony

myself on three and tonight's winner by A Bee's Wizard is Edward Bunting on 3.5. Yay 2.8 Yay.

Well done. Never late in the 2.8 early oh,

you will be late in that engine it's very quick it's.

Very slow, yeah. I, I was considering buying a, a

short wheelbase Pajero actually for a long time after I bought the crown. So I'm like, that's good.

Mom used to have a a Pajero as the family car.

Dad had the crown. So I was like screw it, I got a

short wheelbase progera for good measure at a tempo.

DI think we went, we went to look at one there, it wasn't very. Yeah, that, that was tempting.

That one too. That was really considering.

Thanks for the one the quiz, David Prince.

It was a good quiz. Good quiz.

Yeah, we like that. Very good quick.

I like the paint colours. Yeah.

Can we have that? Can we bring back the paint?

Colours I'm a little bit. We can have some green and rapid

and citric acid. And.

All these cool cool, cool colour dams.

Commodore. Hold Commodore.

I have the coolest. It's the coolest book that I

bought for a dollar from A1 Turner Trash and Treasure years and years ago. And it's a dualist pink guide

from like the 50s, basically going through to about 2000.

So all it's got the paint codes for every manufacturer and and the names of the colours. So Oh my goodness, I can't wait

for the X squeeze. It's going to be great.

Bring that out. Tiger Mica and that's Commodore.

hothouse. Comedy.

That's Torana, isn't it? It's that's, that's it's

Commodore. The VY isn't it?

Vy Yep, correct. Or her screen might.

Yep. There's limelight.

What's Limelight? Limelight don't know charger.

Charger. There we go.

I know someone that's got a limelight charger he chat.

Hey Charger. I went for the same person.

What a great ad campaign. Hey charger like like it's

still, it's still tested, it's still the test of time.

Like people when you when you talk about charges, they still think hey charger like, well, then we're going to do an episode about like the best car campaigns that have been done.

We haven't we've touched on ads, we haven't done the best campaigns. And I think I think hey charge

probably have to have to be top three.

It was. It was outstanding.

Yeah. Anyway, I think that's AI.

Think that's a podcast, gents? Thank you.

Thanks all. Any plugs?

Scotty Doe's golf tip of the week.

Yeah, just before the golf tip of the week.

You're talking about Morse codes before.

Yeah. Alfa Romeo have won two with

their car. It goes, It goes.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep.

Yes, there is. Oh, we got it.

You got it. Oh, that's funny, that's for

sure. Golf tip of the week is

seriously do some warm ups and stretches because I went out on Sunday and far out, it took me a bit to get into the swing.

It was just like a rubber band that was about to snap.

It took a bit to get to get warmed up.

Need to oil those joints. So yeah, put some, you know.

Just. WD40 in your joints and you

should be, you should be fine then.

But you just before you know, remember you're not, you're not 18 anymore, so you can't just get out there and start running or whatever it might be. Exercise.

You need to warm up your joints first.

So stretch, stretch, and stretch some more.

Nice. Can't.

Can't understand that when I felt I bowled my first ball of the cricket season for last season I didn't stretch a warm up and I thought I threw my arm out of my socket yeah yeah.

So I was very sore than than for the next week.

But yeah warm up. It just give a bit of a stretch,

even if it's a little bit, you know all about that Scotty that's we're getting old these days, gentlemen.

So we got to no. I wouldn't.

Dry me a river. Got to get loose.

Mr Toby Terry, any plugs with you?

Look, no plugs, but I want to actually just do a follow on question for the quiz talking about pajeros and there's going to be a bonus questionnaire, this one just for shits and gigs talking about pajeros. There was a variance that was

specifically ran as part of a rally raid sort of situation.

Two part question is 1 what was the requirement for it to qualify and Part 2 what was the event?

Matthew, I want to say they needed to sell a certain amount of cars to make them, to homologate them.

Correct. So what what is?

What is the number of vehicles that was required?

I'd probably say 2000 and I was going to say it's for the Paris, Paris to Dakar, Dakar. Yeah, it was.

Thought it was Dakar. Yeah.

So Dakar is right, but the number is wrong?

Yeah. ON500500 Dakar, Yes.

Yeah. 400. 500 all right, that's was 500.

Keep going, keep going one. 1000.

So the the total, total actual amount that was produced was 2500, but that was again still that sort of requirement sides of things. But yeah, again, I've always

considered the Evo Pajero as a really funky looking little car.

They're a cool thing, there's. A handful of them that are still

fighting around at the moment they're for for sale and they're still ridiculous, but they are again Evo running gear behind Pajero with Recaro so. So.

Cool. You need an engine to put in it,

Yeah. You think you'd just throw the.

You'd think you'd just throw the EVO engine in it and boost it up. Yeah, well, I mean, it's still a

3.56 out of it, but they're just so give me like Malou boisterous

vibes. Yeah, I can see that.

Yeah, they are a very, very, very cool car and I think.

There's 2 for sale at the moment on car sales, one with 137,000 KS 55 and the other one which has 135 for 64.

Yeah, I wouldn't really expensive for Pajero, but that again you're paying for rarity at that point.

And. David, Prince Edward Bunting,

anything you guys would like to plug before we finish?

Yeah, I've got some cars for sale.

So I sold the Swift automatic. Yep.

So coming up will be Triton dual cab with the Pajero Motor 3.2

manual. Coming up will be Mercedes E350

Sedan Elegance and coming up will be the Hyundai Getz with a new clutch. What are we after for the gets

Edward? Our Gonna Getz is gonna be like

5/9/90. OK, Yeah.

What if they mention this podcast?

6. 990. 5/9/80. Yeah, oh, there you go.

You get 10 bucks off so make sure you mention this podcast.

I'll save yourself a whole $10. I'll have to see what the

repairs cost first before I commit to a price, but I'm I'm thinking I think it'll be somewhere around 5/9/90.

Yeah, that's bad. That'll be day, won't it?

Oh hi, I'm ringing about the car that was on the past.
