Northwest of famous me, major joining Studio by mr.
Al inducing. How are you?
I'm good. Happy to be here.
Join online with mr. Scotty do Johnson, howdy howdy
and it says Robin Holly but just Harley currently Holly.
How you doing, man? Let's do that.
That's that's good to hear. Your dad will be joining us very
very shortly. He is he's a busy man, mr.
He's putting on If I fires in ltd's and send all sorts of things. So that's that's why why hasn't
come here yet? But if we ask for sports at the
moment, we are supposed W today. You guys Bond.
That's horse pain. Does the dinner start with you?
How are you man updates with you?
What's happening in your world? My friend.
Okay, updates faster. Me, I'm getting better from last
week, just keep getting sick from these little kiddos.
I think updates, the suspension stuff has arrived here, I haven't opened the box yet so I haven't had a look, I'll be checking out Friday and my magazines from Japan has arrived to Ah that's it. That's so cool.
They actually came really fast. Was that were like excuse me?
Didn't need a container because of just magazine.
So, sexy supposedly the box is pretty heavy.
So they must be rather thick thick voice.
Absolutely. I mean as you should with you
with your nuisance call and ones like they'll quite nice so and quite quite thick. So yeah.
It'll be interesting to see your new magazines.
Yes. I'll check those out on Friday
because I've got a swing pass. Past.
I'm heading over in that direction here.
Mom and Dad. So I'll swing by and open up
those boxes and have a look and Take a few snapshots and take them with me and I can talk about them a little bit more detail what's going on in the next week's show.
Hell yeah, I'm loosing. My really don't have very many
car plates, everything's just going along as it should.
What's happening with this Volvo purchase?
I'm still salty about it. This I'm just going to keep
being salty better for a little while and then maybe just bite the bullet, because in the meantime, again, I'm research the rest of the market, nothing else really is fitting that range like The Tesla Model. Why?
If you want the performance model, you're reaching the 100 Grand Point basically. So, you know, and you want the
performance because obviously, yeah, let's put a battery, electric oven so fast. Yeah, so yeah, I'm still scared
of just thinking it over. I have thought about in the
Suzuki, put him on is really, really cheap Chinese, IAM head units. So obviously, if you buy By the
standard double DIN unit, you get the fash adapter and stuff, that's all well and good. But if you decide to go with
something a little more AliExpress, let's just say you miss kind of getting like a 10 inch or, you know, ten points on the screen and it just fits better and, you know, they're not horrendous quality, they can a lot of them to carplay and stuff. It's just, I would expect that,
um, to last me like, 20 years or something there, but for the interim like, wouldn't be a bad idea, but not in because that's the car I'm currently daily. In the most, and the fact that
it's got it wasn't that crap period of time between like what between 2000 and 32 about what 2010-2011, where the cars didn't have any AUX input, I have nothing, they didn't have, you know, a cassette input. At least we could put your mp3
player in. Don't have Bluetooth they just
have a CD player with MP3 CD sometimes or if you're really fancy like a multi-disc CD player but that's about it.
That's getting technical. Yeah, so like that's a in my
videos were very crappy, kind of audio solution for the car.
So I'd like to upgrade that if I'm, you know, driving the car everyday. Yeah.
Apart from that everything is pretty solid columns.
You haven't learned is all buttoned up.
It's done. Yeah, it's done.
It's custom nice. Apple carplay a nice reversing
camera, nice DAV, Digital radio. So, he's a happy boy, very nice.
I'll ask you, have you driven the MX-5 reasonable notice on my brother-in-law's place? I mean, he's running around like
you back my car. Yeah, but that doesn't he lost
his license sir? Now I've lost you.
Okay, so he's got the bricks back.
Yes, okay, yes, yeah. So I'll obviously I'm Explorer
10, the owners didn't see me driving his office, just because the The soft a little bit ripped and it's been raining on crazy.
Yeah. And the STIs in the garage.
I'm happy keeping it in. Saving the garage at over the
last place. Yeah, that's fair.
Yeah, Rob and Holly now, Rob has just joined us as well, how he was doing all the heavy work. Hello, Rob.

Stop look they looking at that kind of that feelings.
All black so yeah just bits and pieces here and there so I've got enough room in the garage now to sort of get stuck back in today the SEC. So we'll try to get that off the
ground and get their CC rolling. Now that I've got a bit more
space in there and clean up a little bit and I've got cars out of my garage so that's good Big Driver.

All right there's annoying vibration in the back left-hand panel or go to find out whatever vibration is coming from.
It's driving me crazy, every time I'm you give it a TV.

The web has been rules. Yeah, real funny up there.
So in England's, having a heat wave and they're having a drought as well probably. So yeah, what is going on?

All right, I just want bit of it.
Like I didn't watch the full video but I started meeting looking up with the crane. It's near I've destroyed anyway
because he got water in the engine.
The other day when he drove into a swamp so it's pretty much stopped. Yeah, it's trash, it's titled.
Put it that way, welcome to to what's called America.
This is America is actually he's actually even trust and beautiful. Is it a foreigner that he had
registered or just your cab he drives them instead of putting the ramps and drop him off his trade trucks I've just fed off it. Just drives them straight off
like flat-out in reverse and driving.
Hilah and well the Hilux didn't make it right?
So Betty style shaft but he didn't care.
He still could stood for get out in the sand dunes and fresh to crap out of it with a bed tail shaft.
Still kept on Goin, is that the guy that like buyers like trucks like F250s and then also and just, just wrexham, and just break some? Yeah, I think.
Yeah, I think I'm going. He's put big axles on on, on
the, you know, expose us to get on the trucks F250s.
He's gone from wants and mud pile.
My peeps and stuff like that. I think I know that, that sort
of stuff if I'm is a, it's one of those things, you know, it's like a real Catch-22. I guess, when you're, when
you're making that much money, more money than sense, you can, you can destroy my thing. You know, here with us
struggling without, you know, half a dozen cars that we all own each. Ha ha ha.
We struck really struggling. Okay.
So hoopties, aren't they? They, they, you know, the cars
that's anyone could really afford their pets.
Some of the cars that I got people throwing them out.
Why? Cuz, uh, well, the E30 was,
yeah, yeah. Even the background Merkel was
rusted out flooded Mercedes, that we cleaned up.
If you look like my car in actually few weeks ago, warranty claim. Oh, really, what was wrong?
Now, oxygen sensor was Gone. So the engine can figure the
engine light. Yeah.
And it had it, if that's free software updates.
All right? Because like Island, be funny

Tonight the weeks two weeks before.
Get everything done that. You can.
Yeah, just like this is wrong. This is wrong.
This is wrong. And break it.
Fix it up. Look lucky.
He doesn't notice that when he drives it.
So if anything was wants to go, raw meat should have gone wrong by now anyway. So that's good apart from that
day, it's sort of like yeah, it really not much happening with our cars at the moment. So I'm looking to get a double
car voiced. So I'm going to buy a car voice
so I can pack me cars. Fuck you between hoist.
Hmm. So don't work in 54 cars in a
two-car or three car spot so that'd be good yeah, really nothing much else. There you go.

My car is going on Friday, to get the front end done.
So they they just take it. They're just going to do the

Now, you just has a lot of trust in math.
Either will do, will Reserve judgment until we sit in those lovely, lovely pews of the, of the chairman Mao.
Yeah. The last time you gave me was
the the Hyundai Accent, oh, I sent with the CVT transmission and looked out though that was an ARCA and he still use those as hi guys. But I'm but this is this is my
first he'll experience and I'm excited.
I'm excited, I'm very excited, I'm excited.
So I've got a, I've got a week and planets and ruining and then jumps, and it also has an off-roading, a real Aussie and all the adventures Disappointment disappointed to have a few drinks actually do it.
Are you that confident? Absolutely.
We should probably get a recovery car.
Yes. Because I don't think we're
gonna make it either, and I would like to go home the same day. It's true.
Well, that's to bring you take. I'll take this to her Liberty as
a rick Carver I saw saw the. It was on the Focus RS that they
put that on there on the focus was honest.
Sir, I am a brother, a break. The focus is just kept coming
off every like, 62 s, not exactly, makes that is it, but obviously that's that's that's that.
But yeah, so I'm excited for mutton for my whole experience.
I pick it up at 10:30 on Friday, so I will be leaving from period. To got period 3.
Also on the fly down to two. My good friends at roxburgh,
Smash and drop the car off and pick up the other car and yeah, that'll be. That'll be nice doing that.
And this week, and I bought another car for my dad, obviously, because he needed a car because you've got written off. So, so basically I'm like to
him. Well, firstly, I meant as much
Lottery. It kind of got a little bit
screwed over with how much money you got back from insurance.
And as you say, rob, you always got chicken every year because they change it up on you. They, they're really shift.
You like that. So, Insurance companies.
If you got injured it's always just check your premium every year and check check out during short for because you're guaranteed to be screwed. So basically, for what he got,
he couldn't buy the same car. You can buy anything near the
same car. She was a bit disappointed so
he's like I just need a car at this point and I was going through a fair. Few cars, narrowing it down.
I got 260 from Cars. I got to FG Falcon g, c e.
Ql p is 0. Factory gas, which is good car.
I got 200 called Euro luxury, the second gen so like a 20 2012 or 2013. I got to a tweeter Orion 2016.
You know an Oreo Oreo just latex not a sporty or anything but still you've actually got everything in it and the other one was a Mercedes C 200 w204 update.
So that all around. My money all around the same
year, the Orion was actually the newest Carl of the lat.
So he's like, well, why don't we grab looking around?
So we we finally story on a line.
It's 2016 with 69,000 case on it.
Yeah. It said you were gonna say that.
And basically, we, we had off their mind, and I was like, I'm not going to draw archival door latch on them.
Just stop at the stop at the there's like a Or a century in in, in, in airport, near the center there.
And there's a card here, is a few car deals.
Are that just aren't like for holding it?
They just put all sorts of cars and nearly hit a limit, some cars. And she's throw a rock at the
Isuzu. Dealership left for me.
Was that the one you dealing? Yeah, well, you didn't know.
There was news to me, Bigger through music?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure there was any
way. I could be saying this.
But anyway, we hope out. And, and, and for more money,
there's cars with more Kay's and that are not as new.
I like there was like a Mazda 3, we would like to know there's an, there's a nice car, leather interior, the start and they want to 26 grand for it. And it had semantic a is and it
was older and I'm that does, like, he's like, I can't drive this like yeah, this is what is this, you know, like it can get.
Comparison. Like I don't like Mega threes
right, but but he's like, you know, in terms of just comfort in size and space and an engine engine capacity and stuff.
He's like, it's a nugget like he was driving around and I 34 like a week and he's like, he hated, he's our arrogance, it was just gutless and pointless. So I'm like, well, if you listen
to me Little Ghost, check out that car and shot them.
So we get the Cheltenham. And it's a, it's a dealer there,
but it's just like a, like, a little father-son kind of dealers, selling about 10 cars and they've got a really nice guys there from Iran. And, you know, just just try and
try to make a buck here. And I'm basically like to take
the car take for driving. Tell us what you think.
And look for a drive drove really well like they bloody Hammer. They've got a lot of power in
those days camera. Those Orion V6 is 3.5 L 200,
kilowatts steps as the other. Yeah, that I'd used to become
the killer wasps so it bloody goes well, everything worked satellite navigation, you know, cruise control all the electrics. It's got like a electric blind.
It goes up on the back. So like if you know like you
know yeah the chauffeur Much of the car people to buy it.
Anyway, we we negotiated a price and we got what was pretty fair price. And we picked it up yesterday
and my dad's quite happy with it.
So, congratulations to your dad. Yeah, so, mr.
Simon, if you're listening, he's always, he's always like to say this, Oil down number one, number one, but I but it is like, I do want to buy milk in a couple years, so he's like, I want to save up and then sell the Ori on and get back into a Mercedes. But yeah.
Like I like to I'm not it's got comes with like warranty and everything. Like the god that God has given
us warranty with it and he's like, take it to everyone.
It's like it's a really good car.
I've got no issues with it. See, he's he's happy, he's got
himself into a car and it's nice because like like while he had a good run out of his Merc like it did throat, you know, check engine light. It's and you know and you know,
codes for exhaust things and timing chains stuff.
So it like even though just quite Lokay is it was not, you know, mechanically as you know neat if I as a result there's still a great car. Like this is still driving
really nicely, but but nothing beats Twitter, reliability.
Maybe he drove the car back and he's like, he's like, he's like this thing. Craps, all over all over the
mark, in terms of how it drives very racing Falcons, Commodores, the door hundred kilowatts, Sighs.
Are you could? It was like, I couldn't believe
how nice of drove on a Mongrel, dog.
It's a nice car like they're comfortable.
Lazy VCR quintessential, dad car, they are concerned.
Okay? And put the bread and milk there
and it's a rolling refrigerator, isn't it?
It's like, you know, absolutely absolutely.
It's hassle-free is boring motor but more motoring, but for what he needs. I'm like, you know what?
You're not going to have any issues with it.
It's just going to work. You just got a legit, put oil,
and oil in water in it, and it'll keep going.
Don't even need to do that with the Toyota.
Yeah. So I'd like to service it and
you'll be fine. And that's all you need to do
and he's like, yeah, he's so but but he he really likes it.
So like obviously we couldn't quite stretch to the sportivo or to the pasara because I know they're a bit little bit to to pricing that they can be like, LED lights and all all that jazz but now he's really happy with it and I said to him, you know, it's a nice car for the money, you know, you know, you know you know you're not going to worry about it.
Like my biggest issue with like, all rounds and cameras and Extent Commodores as well. And Falcons, a lot of them are
owned by, like here, like Fleet companies or or rental car, rental company. So, artificially, was check the
book and I was I was owned by till preet Singh.
So I was, I was like, okay, so it was bought by one person, and it's in a really nice color. I've never seen an Orion in dark
blue before my family. Okay.
Yeah. I was expecting to be like black
or white light here. Yeah, I was maybe it's over here
and there, but that's it. Yeah, absolutely.
I was your boss. He's bringing it to be like
white or silver but it was blue and it was A really it's a really nice. Like don't know what I want to
show you is like that's wonderfully Carpenter.
It's up to you. If you want to fit your blind,
white black or silver, that's it.
Nothing else allowed that's all the budget.
No, no, wait, no extras for color but you know, it was, it was good. It's he's really happy.
With other said, I just wanted him to get into a car that that works and it'll, it'll be reliable.
And yeah. So so he's happy.
But I'm but long story short, check your insurance policies and and you know how much your insurer for and what you are insured for, because he didn't even get choice of repair.
Because apparently the company that he was with which I'm not going to name that option a company is they took that option and a couple years back here, which is really disgusting which I didn't really know because it's like, well, that's supposed to point. So they do like to give the we
offer a lifetime warranty on our repairs.
But then what if they wanted to come?
Yeah, he's exactly right. Then you're screwed.
So my dad, my dad was not happy about that but but here's the issue like that, that I don't even.
They know where he's murky, because he still wants to get his plates and all that stuff off at 2.
So that's it. That's a whole nother story. so,
That is that is the Orion sir that we've added the Orion T of the fleet as a fist is going in. I drove the laser 700 cases over
the past five days. I've just given a child them
twice to Williamstown, five times to Epping, and just just all around. And I'm just like what I have
not had a life for the last five days.
All I need to know weekend so the lasers cut the hiding but it's all good because I'm driving the old city for the rest of the week. So that'll be kind of because
Going. Yeah, it's going.
It's going, I'm actually pushing up this weekend.
It's going for now, if you know, yeah, now I need to get rid of it because like, it's, it's mechanically, it's really good.
It drives really nicely and everything.
But it's just, it's sitting there rotting in my front yard and, and I'm and it's just burning me seeing it through that. So I want to get it on the car.
I want someone to take it in and actually care for it, like what he was, because I kept careful mechanically and, and Rob you matter. Catch Fire and You know it's an
extinguished, it exploded all any fire, all right, don't exaggerate about this fire. It's still called Firefox.
It could have been me house and garage down and the cars and all be bikes with it. But it was only a little fire at
the time. All right.
It just swallowed all that phone spray insulation to they.
Sprayed in. There was just slowly small
during a way. That's all it was done.
Yeah. And it's morning away.
He turned around your garage was just smoke everywhere.
Hope you know what there was a bit of smoke little touch but the whole place is Robbie gonna go to put that one of those sign that the the front negro thing, you know, vehicles are stored at owner's responsibility. You know.
I should have done that. I really should have and I
should have had the house ready, but look like beautiful world.
I kind of went for the best Wells over them.
No Distortion spot welded everything in And fixed it all up. Was just, it was fantastic.
It was a shame. I have to drill it all out
again. I would have been pissed but I
want to be just like, you know, if I can get your seats, do you want to water damage to seats and interior?
So I just wanted to make sure so I concentrated the water in that particular area. Okay.
So I was trying to save the, you know, the Nugget but Did you, did you did you did. But anyway, that I think that's,
that's it. I'm still having issues with my
sister's old Forester that that's that's, that's still continuing, which things. What what what else was that?
What was that? What up with us?
But that's virtually with, but she's not being held responsible for anything, right? So she's moved on to the other
person. Yeah, sorry.
I'll expect you after tickets, but nothing major not just, you know, just evading police. Yeah.
And please hit an old lady around a lot of the ram raid the daughter. But anyway, guys, we're gonna
get on the tonight's topic of cars.
That were good and should have sold, well, but obviously didn't and kind of were like, well, that's a shame that it didn't end. So well, there's this is topic
that we haven't really covered properly.
It's a topic that we would, we kind of still we should, we should discuss that one day and I thought today would be a good be a good day to go. Day to discuss it now.
I know some cars in particular that I'm a big fan of that.
I know that Robin Holly are fans of this brand.
Now, it starts with s ends and I They had, if you remember a few years ago, they sold the Kizashi.
Do you guys remember that car? I do remember that good job
because it won all sorts of awards.
It was a reliable car. They could even get it in
all-wheel. Drive was good-looking handed
really well? Sounded pretty good drove
excellently and it just didn't sell like I'm really lost.
A lot of actually Scenic is actually on the road.
So I just saw one a few days ago.
Well, that's why, when you speak his last year I was like, oh yeah. I was just thinking about one.
So industry Daisy. I wore came as a shock because
yeah sadly. I don't see him around.
They're a good-looking car. Like is Archie.
I still think they're I think I think they're good looking.
I think they still look quite modern today and and those people that own them, come actually like them one because it's a Suzuki and it works but to you're actually a good drive and and it's a shame because like I got they said more than like two or three thousand here. Like, if that your / / / / is
lifespan here were I think this will hike on the concept and and as a disappointing, what they eventually or what eventuated from the concept. And and so there's this concept
idea and advertising that is that the motor show was brilliant, looking car. And then they sell this car that
doesn't look anything like the concept.
Mmm, Yeah. And I think that's what sort of
tunnel few people off right now, is looking at one at the time when they came out, all right? And when I saw it, I go, it's
great idea of got the Visa Yeah, I've brought ideas, expect the full execution, just wasn't there?
Yeah, absolutely. It's a shame because it was a, I
think it's still it was like still looking good at and carve it. And it got really good reviews
and and it was like one plenty of awards, but it just didn't sound now. Do you think that car didn't
sell? Because it was in a hot Market
with kamri and measure 6, or because it was because it was a bit of a weird size, it wasn't exactly camera.
So I was like it was like a touch of it smaller and there was no real Sedans in that kind of size.
Was that? Like, that was kind of really
it, I think not many people wanted a four-cylinder V6 was sorry, sort of priced out of its that market from recollection.
Of the V6 was a bit expensive for what it was.
Yeah. I think the, the small size
probably also let it down a bit given that, you know, you want those to boot space for you. Buying us the damn, you know,
you won't be able to take your luggage or whatever else kind of having that reduced size of reduced capacity.
Just missing out on that extra bit of room.
And we are some big people here in a trailer.
Yes, we, it's all muscle. So ya ready to flex?
You've got an A it's not like it's a cake.
Good. But just did.
I was thinking the ks Stinger. Oh well I was on my list as
well. Yeah, I thought it might be on a
few people's lists because it was it had everything figured want engine-wise. Looks looks for pretty good.
I'd say the only thing I didn't like about the looks is that weird little reflect a bit on the tail light that followed on the body were side. Yeah, side.
Yeah. Well that was weird.
I know why they did that. But, you know, to pick on just
that one little thing compared to the whole car.
I just hope people are just turning away from sedans.
I think is why like it came at a great time when you are losing the real Drive Falcon and commodore.
Yes it didn't come in a V8 but you heard, you know, a twin-turbo V6 which is you know, ample power and it just seemed like the good replacement particularly compared to the what were they selling the Insignia as a Commodore?
Yeah, actually, yeah. So Yeah, compared to that like
it was a much better option. It's just I don't know, like my
name is going and he's happy, he's here.
He's gonna GT. He's actually a very Kia /
Hyundai household. Okay.
Well his cars like Kia's and Hyundai's all his daughters.
Have a Hyundai 30s, you know, he's happy with it.
But yeah I just I feel a lot more people would have you know, had fun with that car. If they just give it a chance.
It sucks because they're not, there's no plans for a successor to it. Yeah.
And for that reason, it didn't really.
So I'm at this is a worldwide kind and to be fair was quite gutsy from Key its key to make it like kid didn't have to make a call like that. Like it's sedan, they did.
It's a new platform that they made out of the blue.
This we're making a sports, it in, I mean, you don't have to get it with the V6. You can get it with a with a
4-cylinder turbo as well, I think.
Yeah. And, you know, and if you want
to still get those days, quite good looks.
And but yeah, Everyone that that's that's owned them right them? Super highly.
They recommend they reckon that they are fantastic to drive.
Plenty of power. Really good?
Chassis. Just a fun car.
And would they just didn't sell? Yeah, I think so trouble.
Sorry, they're trying to compare it to a Mustang and and the price point was Mustang. Yes.
Right point. And if I have a choice Mustang
or a Kia, you know, a lot more people leaning towards Mustangs and I think that took a lot. Lot of our lot away from him.
If you did what I staying in the Market at a time they might have sold more. Yeah, I agree with you there.
Do you think you think it came down to the name?
Because it was a Kia and not I definitely not turn some people away tonight, but also having a muscle car, V8, GT V8 to a 6-cylinder turbo. And I think they'll try to say
look. All right, the The Stingers
quicker than a Mustang year. Yeah, but it wasn't a fair
comparison but buying time I'm not trying to compare it to a Mustang because it's a performance car and it was really all the other foot performance cars are.
So basically stopped, weren't they?
So you really only have I had a choice of a Mustang or a key are on the market at that time. Yeah.
You're right. Yeah there's I don't think
there's any I mean you've got your golf yeah.
Yeah. Fast hatches.
But if you're looking at a bigger car really that that there are only two cars are on the market that you had a choice from. I mean they had the cries of 300
SRT but but that but that's a car that was already like two generations old by that point and it wasn't selling in general really well either. So Yeah, it was really, I mean
they kind of came at similar times what Mustang and and stay here in Australia anyway and I think the stigma behind the Kia, badge is still quite strong and and you know, like I love you like to say like why would a bike here when I could but I could buy forward. And and now, I would completely
completely disagree with it with that but probably back there.
But I love this thing since I saw him, but the issue is you can't get one now because they do have a waiting list on But they just haven't really announced allocations.
I don't think and there's a bit of a issue with with getting a stinger. So if you can get one, get one
while you still can. But like Patrick, Patrick
precious Brothers borrowed one, for the weekend, in particular, his eyes. Like it seems fantastic.
He just goes hard and drives well and and all sorts of things but yeah just didn't get the name but so you want to say Rob?
Yeah, I was gonna say there is another car in a market.
Wasn't there a European combat all like a Sportster?
Russian. V65 supposed to have been up
there with those cars as well. Supposed to have been but wasn't
it was a it was a poor attempt, I think or to have fun trying to find one. Yeah, absolutely.
Okay. I think that one is around in
Europe. It is said that there was a
Nancy other day, you're right. But yeah, sticking out.
Like would you guys be honestly surprised?
If they brought another model? I like, I'm new generation
stinger out. Like, I don't think is going to
happen. But would you guys be like,
well, I can't actually did that or would you be?
Like, yeah, I expect not to not to do another one because it was kind of a gamble on it. Don't think it really paid off
in terms of like a financial gain, but I think it was more of a brain exercise to kind of break the stigma of Kia.
Thank you. Don't know me.
Like I think it was more of a we need a halo car.
Our and we're going to give you a hello car.
And if it doesn't sell well tough but at least people be like, hey Keys, things are kind of cool like me, making it look at Key To Worship, I think it depends on price that they put it out, you know, I think if they priced it more competitively or the next, if they do bring out a newer version, it's it's cause always go up in price.
That's the other issue, right? Expect them to price.
It competitively again. I mean if they kept it the same
price given how high the Mustangs gone at this point.
I feel it could. Very tiny little niche but it's
like again it's got a lot of things being held against it.
The car itself is brilliant. It's just, you know, The
Branding and you know at the time at least when I came out, all right. Like they stand by their
product. Really mmm.
Yeah, it'll be surprised. If this next thing is based on
like the ionic six kondo to be electric.
That's it. That's they're actually a great
Point. That's a fantastic point.
If they do that, that would be, that would be kind of cool.
I heard there's a got five. You wait in those.
Is that it's been like 50 at a time.
Bloody hell. And you get after yesterday do
like a bit on one side, buy him sneakers.
And I think that's kind of, you know, and I love the name I can sting is a great name for a car and I love the badge and Ikea's new keys and you logos working Kenny's kids.
Me like this looks really, really good and like, I went to a Kili Kili Kili dealership with Steph will be two or three weeks ago now and we went to look at the new Sportage because it's it's got its got car of the year and stuff.
So so we want to look at it and plenty.
I'm very nice car, like a really like as such this is things I like I'm not an SUV guy but it was a beautiful car like the fit and finish was like I reckon better than Toyota.
It was unbelievable. I couldn't believe it.
Overall styling in general is very nice.
Good evening car. Yeah, very nice car.
I couldn't, I couldn't believe that Rob like, I was like, wow, this is, this is a KO and I said in a stinger that had a black singer park next to it. So this thing I'm like, this is
cool. This is this is where it's at.
But yeah, I freaked out. I was like, well, like you and
then they offered great warranties and they got hybrid.
Electric options on like this is fantastic.
Like you know this is what companies like Ford it should have done years ago but they chose to You know, get rid of get rid of the hot hatches. Yeah.
You think of some of these car companies that are like the American ones in particular, they're like Kodak was with their film and it whenever it went went digital, they stuck with the film. Yeah, big time.
Yeah, that really have much of a choice in the Ford Ranger anymore today. No, it's all right.
I challenge anybody of the listen to the show, even you guys to go to Ford dealership and tell me what you see inside of the dealership and outside. I guarantee you.
It's 99 Rangers 2-1 and my Mustang, that'll be that'll be virtually and a Transit and the transit.
Yes, ha ha ha. So yeah, it's yeah, it is one of
those and but I'd love to see the Stinger continue.
I think it's thing. A continuing would be would be a
good thing but I reckon like a kind of Midway spec pump, might be a better way to go. Well, they don't have to, you
know, retool the whole car just possibly give a little power.
From reaching on the engine. If you pass your in there, maybe
update the looks a little bit, get rid of that, crappy red thing on the side, something like that.
That could possibly benefit without costing a heck of a lot for the Fantastic. Look their Mustang.
Now that that Generation Now is seven going on eight years old.
Yeah. Yeah.
So I can do it and Chrysler even better.
How long have they been making that one for 15 years now?
So, I don't mind that so much, you know, with the with the Chrysler that they don't change their models because you buy it on a Chrysler, you know, you're not going to get it's not five models building three years time.
Yeah. So you still got a car.
That's this is all your current some extent.
Yeah. It's so with the, you know, the
to some extent with the Jeep's that the bank really dramatic changes every three years like A lot of other SUVs Kia changed SUVs. You know, stockpiling maybe
three or four times in the last six years.
Yeah, no. I completely agree.
Thank you, Christy. See ya.
Tasting is differently. One of those cars out that
should have should have sold better than I did, but I guess it was kind of a risky move as well K.
Because because they are and they know this again Market is done, like, it's finished so them to bring a performance again into a dying Market, was pretty like a pretty gangster each move so was it? You know, I do have a card at, I
mean, it got killed off died was the sub.
Yeah, yeah, sounds cool. Subway Subway saw when they
looked at what they were just kind of, there are little little little company that kind of did things their own way, even though they were owned by General Motors.
And I think that's, I think that's what really shot him in the shot. Him in the foot, you'll notice
killed another one of the many companies that they that they rented the ground. But yeah, like yeah, they they
would play still be around like the like the last Looking Glass tiles were good-looking cars. They'll beautiful looking car
actually. So it's a shame that they The
way they did some nice jobs, they fit you real good money, is this some fairly unique one? So all Drive specified with high
power outputs, the stuff like that.
So, there's some real nice ones. I think they even made it in a
wagon. Do you think dude?
Yep, absolutely. And those wagons store fetch big
money because there's not, there was nothing else.
That was kind of like it at the time.
Really? Like, you know, I mean the side.
Yeah. Howdy but yeah, I'd take a side.
I think it was just more more, you know, interesting and cool.
What about what else, guys? What other cars do you think
should have sold? Well, but didn't, and we're just
kind of in a market where they just didn't belong.
Unfortunately, it is quite a few cars that went out there on the market, but they got take it off the market pretty quickly with the GFC. Didn't know you back in 2008 or
09? Yep, there are quite a few cars
said that some should have, could have but didn't show up.
They're about to release the Cadillac and Rebrand rebranded, a lot of the hold and dealerships your Cadillac dealerships. That was that was happening.
That was going to happen. That was going to happen.
I'd like they delivered like night it, a crush them all, that's it. You know, when you made a
right-hand drive from Factory like a leg stuck delivered babies are ready for their crush them that the crush them all.
I didn't know that it was like 80 years in his 80 or 90 of them back there. Google it.
You can fly others article that will crush.
Hmm bro. These are brand-new Of PTSD, a
Yeah man, they decided to cancel up with them.
Yeah. Well, um, what else is on your
list? I had the Mazda6 MPS.
Like that was a great performance car in the late 2000s. You know, what do 130 kilowatts
or they? Some of them went even higher
but they were very, very tunable engines and the I want to measure three the EMS cousin. Alright system as well.
Correct. So just an incredibly capable
car good transmission don't like domestics already.
Look good. The MPS just a little bit better
and just yeah great cause it's just they weren't that popular.
I think I didn't find any figures for Australia but I think only sold 800 in the UK. Well yes nothing in Europe and
Europe are well priced and and what and yeah reliable but in a Yeah I think the message deal is we just a bit?
I think arrogant at the time and like yeah a take-it-or-leave-it, this is a price. Whereas you go into another
dealership, you'd always get a better price for a similar type of car and master will just fixated on, you know, where the best, you know, go elsewhere. And I think they, some reason
there might have rested on, you know, the great cars that they built in the 90s. Yeah.
With Masters and even Honda, you know, if they're great cars, if they built, they went sort of, I don't know.
They flattened out. Yeah, they did.
I think there's still kind of like that.
Master dealerships. Mmm.
Yeah. Yeah.
They price their cars, very high.
For what, what? You get inside it to technology
wise and they don't budge. No, that's it.
Walk out disappointed which I did mean.
Yeah, a little bit off más de over the last few years, to be honest with you. Like I have no.
Like, I used to be a real man storage man's the best fan but I just don't find them interesting anymore.
Yeah. Like they had, they had a good
product, they had, they had a good product and then they just like, well it's in demand. Let's just keep charging what we
want and then not really innovate all that much like this. What I have any was a nine
Mazda3. Yes, fixes some ridiculous like
that. Like that's that's, that's
Insanity. Yeah.
One point, I thought they're going to turn it all around or actually being competitive against the Corollas.
The Honda's, they had all the features thrown in their cars and their price real well, for a little while and that was it, that was in the early 90s early early 2010's.
Yeah. Yeah.
And then all of a sudden well that fell through like then they became Premier. Yeah, well that's it.
That's what I that's exactly what happened on because the be almost a three was in a lot of months, outsold the Mazda 3 which will sorry. Sorry, I'll sold the Toyota
Corolla which never happened. Yeah, it outsold the Corolla
because it was a 10-point sales push that will actually out there pushing a product. Absolutely.
And they were selling tons of the things then they decided for the next one. We're going to be a premium
brand and then look it up a notch and then bring on the 63s and 65 and 67 s. All of them, all the seals fix
8680 06:30. Grazie, they, they, they were
premium brand but I don't know. Like, like I hoped it in like a
friend of mine, a friend of the show, Adam Board of put a new set of brand-new, 65, top-of-the-range turbo 2.5,
turbo. It's a nice car.
It's it drives really enjoy. It goes hard and stuff, but like
the seats were unbearably uncomfortable and like, it was like the basic things they just do, just didn't get right.
And I thought, They still sell tons of them because I people buy mostly because it Demands a bit to drive.
I don't think it was, you know, it wasn't.
It's not a comfortable place to be and I felt I felt like the edges of the seats were, like, digging into me, into my, into my thighs. And I'm like, I've never felt
that in a car before. And I'm not like a relatively
big guy, and I was always out of might, like, dude is not comfortable for you. He's always like that.
It's like, I'm used to it, so I don't know.
It's just for me, one of those. One of those.
One of those things like what should the bt-50?
That was butchered like it's the same car as a ranger, but right here, I saw them tent alone. Sort of figured out like they
price themselves. Out of the market is what
there's what they did. They like you could get like a
base model Mazda 3 4 like 1990, going to go into those days now.
It's like baseball, a reads like 30 grand plus, I think something is up. Yeah, but having said that do
like golf Arnie, I Was 80 grand. Like, like that's and before And
then that's just Insanity. Like that's why like you can't
get 934. Listen to like 23 issues
through. So it's the mg that's now do the
low price. Well here are for a bit.
Well here's the thing right. Have you seen have you guys seen
the latest sales figures like from from from from media?
Hmm, it's around unfreakin believable.
I'll find it for you. Give me a second all, but yeah.
Again what we said this last and then Jason like, you know, you're you're old, whatever, you know.
Shit box. You could buy, you know, 10, 15
years ago, the check this car like a Daihatsu or or a guess or you know, the old Altos Alto, you know, all gone.
Like put it this way right? In microcars, keep a can of sold
up to jr. CR.
The it is 200 2556 cars. The next closest to that was
that was the Mirage 756 Fiat, 500 3314, their light Cars.
So I'm going to ask you guys which which like card do we think the biggest seller in Australia?
It's got to be the mg. Absolutely absolutely it's the
mg3 and it's killed everything for example, never sold 9480 cars. Second places that is the Suzuki
Baleno 5020 and then as the to, which used to be dominating was used to dominate the segment, all right?
Yeah. 2,700 sales. Like like it's yeah even though
Mirages right? Have a look at the price of a
Mitsubishi Mirage. They are you laughs something
thousand dollars, you know. They'll 12 great drawing like 12
13 grain. That's because it took my
friend, he's looking at by, I can A35 AMG, give me the test drive on the first came out in 2019 and the car was 69 800 drive away. What up?
What's the best price a beast? 7,000.
Yeah, ridiculous. The same car.
The boy in 2019 for 69,000. It wasn't here.
You. What does bravery about there?
Yeah this is second hand out there is brand-new as well.
No one is more than the brand new Wonder asking for it.
Yeah correct put it this way in medium sized cars carries over 6,000 sales and the next person to it's the Octavia with 700 and Mazda6, 680 a mess. She's also very well like that
just tells you how they put themselves out of the market Leo. Nice code is up.
Yeah. It's what a skoda Octavia
selling more than a massive six. You know, you know, man has got
issues like that. That for me, just just old man,
people moving into the skirt has and I like the skoda Octavia especially the IRS looking car and meet this is premium medium car. So I'll give you three BMW 3
Series. Mercedes C-Class and Tesla Model
3. Who do you think sold the most?
Ours is a model free because the model 3 has more than doubled its nearest competitor. Over 4,600 Styles like that.
That's just that's just tells you tells you when all you need to know about that, I mean sports cars, Mustang still dominating that but basically small SUV mg.
He said s again like and amg's winning MD's meaning that it's just one of those. It's an incredible thing that
but it just shows you if you price you if you price point your car well and it's well equipped and and you know it it has gives what people need and what they want.
You're going to sell your car, you know?
And this is and this is 200 is 89 thousand dollars.
That's a joke first. A 200 page 63 for one brand new
2015. Yeah.
It's 89,000 now. In summary actual actual
insanity. But anyway, Cooper coming to the
market. Yes, yeah.
That's awesome. Plug-in hybrids along with full
electric and myself so emblem that the emblems pretty cool to go because that's what's going to happen with these electric cars. Like even the Tesla's in 10
years, all these cars are going to be written off in a crappy birthday. Well, how does that is, right?
We can't get them and we don't have the infrastructure.
So it's going to, it's going to hold on.
But yeah, I don't really know, man.
Like, I don't lie. Don't know what's happening with
the electric cars. Are like, it's growing like
crazy but I just don't think we've got the infrastructure to keep up, but not only that iPhone, like the like a knife and you're from, or way to bet you can't pull it out easily and it cost you more to replace the battery, the - then iPhones worth and that's what's going to happen with the car.
The back is going to be worth more than the cars worth.
You'd be riding your car off, see that It's true to the point for other electrical companies, but Tesla, I guess with your updates, they give you all the stuff that that you need and they're constantly updating, their, updating their cars.
So it's kind of something even more.
It's a little bit on the battery, but the batteries only got a certain life is getting cheaper and cheaper and they're not, they're not that hard to like they've said, they're not actually how they're not that hard to replace.
You drop a like there's only like a handful ball pythons all bolts to the A place to set up a tree at the moment it is.
But you're talking 10 years time and become more important to have infrastructure on hand, to be able to recycle the batteries effectively because once you once you once you get the battery out there it's relative like most of the components are relatively renewable. Yeah it's just certain parcel to
be refreshed and the battery can go on.
It's just if somebody actually you know properly implements that infrastructure one, they'll be billionaires.
The end of it. But that'll that'll be required
to actually keep these. He's going into the future
because some of them guarantee that they'll have at least 70% of the range after 8 years or something.
But depending on how you use your car that you know, some cars going to fail in like 4 years, 5 years, the infrastructure to be like you said that, I saw this thing on Facebook the other day where there's this summer holidays, in America, and you've got about 40 testers line up the free charge station. See.
You have people who cares. Just let the right at this very
moment, it's great. You can go past the charge
station, you'll find maybe one that's free.
Yeah, but two more years forget about it it's not like the same like lining up for something like lining up for petrol.
No no. You got to sit there for a
while. That's right.
So so it's going to become an issue, it really will.
And that's good about actually putting charge stations and on the streets on power poles University.
Claire is where people haven't got garages.
Yeah. Yeah.
But then you, but then you technically Diner, then still do, because it's like, it's on, it's on government.
Puts on Council property. Yeah.
That links into that YouTube video that I sent on our chat Maddie, with the hydrogen powered race car.
Yeah, absolutely. He can't in there that he has an
electric car and there's three people lined up in front of him.
He didn't want. To wait for that long.
He got to tap these wanted to get a taxi and just leave and go home. Yeah.
Mmm, need to charge it because the white time to charge him is still a little bit too long. They've made to fill up hydrogen
and a lot faster. They've cut the time in half to
fill up to a full tank quicker than to charge at the moment to.
So I think it's better technology around that.
I think I agree. Have an Audi developed a very
efficient It's hybrid. I think they're using it at.
They used it in Dakar where it's you do have a generator petrol motor but the motors are so powerful.
It's putting out a lot more power.
Compared to what you're using to charge the whole system, okay, keep going. So I think it's a very efficient
system but I'm not sure that the technical how it technically works. But they've got a very very
efficient system that they're trying and testing and in the Dakar Rally and it's actually keeping up with the Petrol costs. Well, I mean the duck House of
the most grueling rally known to man.
So if it can work out there, it can work.
We can work. And what they're finding is
because of the extra weight was actually harsh of a suspension also so that they'll actually looking at ways of modifying a suspension but they got the carry out in a very relatively short time. They expecting from concept to
getting it onto the rally. I think it was only like 12 or
24 months anyhow. Yeah.
So be interesting to see what they do next year with that car and whether they actually rolled that out here, all that out into their production cars. Yeah, watch this space.
I think that's, that's, that's a different case.
But yeah, it's, it's funny how we've ended up at this point where like, yeah, we all, we all want TVs, but again, Australia is as a whole, we haven't really kept up.
We haven't, we're not, we're not taking it seriously.
Like, we haven't taken the demand of it and I honestly, I honestly thought hydrogen was the answer.
I still think it is the answer. Personally, I think it emits,
water vapor. It's their zero-emission.
Yeah. Like they it's hydrogen.
You get it from the air, you know, it's one of those, it's one of those things like that, that it's a renewable resource and I honestly think it is. I still think is the answer.
I still personally think it's the answer, but I like that or he 85 and converting every kind of the Corn juice, because it wouldn't be too hard to do. But yeah, I just, I still don't
think EV Is going to work in the short in the what in the in the long run. Especially if we if we don't
have the infrastructure, are you?
There will be there will be a certain period of let us say 5 to 10 years of absolute pain, where items heart is far more electric cars in there is charging capacity and everyone's like that. So, I'm going back in my petrol
car. Yeah, we're looking right at
which point lower that also depends on what kind of government we have going forward because one of them will just be like I get back. Any petrol cars boys.
And another will say, or Working on it, let's get a union B to make some extra charges here and there, but workouts a different thing that actually doing doing doing.
Yeah, and I think that that is the big issue with this whole, with this whole situation. But I, you know, I said, let's
see what happens in these next coming years.
I'm not saying vote one way or another, but one government has made it very clear that they are all about, you know, certain old-school, fossil fuel energies.
Let's see what the current mob does.
They made they talk a big game about, you know, being prone.
Electric. But until we see, you know, some
government projects, providing, you know, been charging facilities. That's all stuff at all.
Yeah, even more on the side of battery recycling, end-of-life stuff for these cars. It's not going to be fully
viable solution for this country at least.
Well, I mean, when I was at Uni, we did a lot of stuff on Cradle to cradle is not Cradle to grave, so like how they could renew the resource at the end. Yeah.
And I think that's a really important point because everyone like like, especially like the company Apple like they're just all about making money. And don't really care like the,
you know, they're all about planned obsolescence and I'm a strong believer that that is one of the worst things that we can do planned obsolesce over. The worst part is a mocker,
awarded because they are two trillion dollar company at this point. Yeah, and I think that it's just
not sustainable. No, no, it's not.
It is not sustainable. So it'll be interesting to see
what this government doesn't fit in the next four years, but it'll probably to be a lot of. Are these coming?
Didn't do this so we can't do it.
Now it's gonna be a lot of finger pointing like it always is but I just want to see something done and I want to tell Honestly, some Shock shots called I thought, I thought his happening 25 years ago when I built my house and that's why I got three phase power. Putting the meows.
