The 500th Episode of Car Torque

This is professional. Radio has front wheel drive.

Sorry, have you got anyone you want to think?

Just myself. And now we'll do the after.

Hours. Then what would you do?

For. ACS in.

There. OK.

And because there's not a supercar, there is.

It's not. Order ready.

Perfection comes in the form of two letters A&U.

Long Wave My Ltd. Welcome to Car Talk is the 500th

episode. I'm joined by Anthony Adrian.

You laughing? Very.

Rob and Holly Chad, we got David.

I'm just doing working my way through the room.

It's Scotty Patrick and Alan. Dave Singh.

Live from my garage is the 500 episode. 500. 500 have it in the

middle. 500 episodes. There you go.

I didn't. 500 times. They've had to deal with you.

This seems to me for $500. I can't.

I can't do that. Yeah.

Have you ever? Not.

I've been late to a few episodes in advance at the start.

Episodes for me. I I batch.

For this. I don't.

Think we've done a non media? If so, no.

I mean, we've missed some. But there hasn't been an episode

that's run without Maddie. No, he wasn't at the radio

station when we've done it before.

But that has always been in the shower somewhere.

Yes, that that is true. That is true.

But I would always try, endeavour to make it, make an appearance. But yeah, it's, it's 500

episodes. Yeah, you're right.

People listening to me, I don't know how they've done it, but they've they've put up, put up with me.

Let's go for it, yes. You have to put up with.

So yeah, they had to pornography.

But it's been it's probably us. Though, to be fair, you guys

have made this show possible, made these 500 episodes, you know, bearable. It's tolerable.

Yeah, correct. Instead of me just talking to

myself, saying, hey, Matt, What Car do you like today?

Well, I really like massage CPS. It's only afford.

Liabilities that. Conversation only afford laser.

So yeah. So instead of having people just

hearing me and and my and my horrible car decisions, they've heard your decisions. What do you mean, horrible car

decisions? You get given.

Every copy free. OK.

And is an exception to that. And I don't know those cars

anymore and you know that. But talk about bad cars is

Adrian. Come on.

All the people in this room, you've got you like you're the top of the list, and yet they. See.

MW. Good.

It's not fair. No, because I did the same.

I made that mistake too. Yeah, except you.

You got out of it. You were smart.

I haven't done. That yet I dropped it.

So I like always, Scotty just has to say 3 letters BMW and that that's that's all you need to know.

Hey look, to be fair and I in my defence OK, listening my new soon my Toyota, they gave my multiple Mitsubishis all had engine issues before the BMW, before they got to you or before or after you. That's not the point.

That is, yeah. So that is a big variable, but.

Yeah, this there's slightly, yeah, you're right, David Pizza a comment denominator there and and one Adrian de Giorgio I think is is a is a common common theme here.

I tell. You broke the only car that I

thought you couldn't break in the Nissan NX like and you broke that's just like 20. You speak to anybody that owns

an SR20? Yeah, yours hasn't broken.

Yet not yet, But that's because I barely drive.

Just keep waiting, keep talking about the timing belt tensioner is what went on that. OHP, mind you, I've read it next

weekend. What mind you, did you take one

of my mates turned around that no, SSR 20s said.

Change that and I'm like, I'll be fine.

No, no, seriously, change that. No, no, no, that's alright.

The next week, Yeah. And yeah.

And I don't think the the Red Line would have helped either.

Adrian. Hey, look, I took it to the

drags about changing oil. Aren't you calmed down as soon

as I bought it? Yeah, I know.

It was I I did. A 15 seven comes.

In OK, that's not bad. I57 print and ASI.

Pretty good considering the Internet says 16 free what they're supposed to do. And I'm just like what once

clear it's been. Adrian abuses the car air brakes

and Adrian. Why air brake?

Didn't change. I saw vehicle tester.

You know, testing usually means maybe tracking on the freeway, taking on some bumps. Not taking it to a drag strip.

Adrian. No, I gotta.

I gotta make sure it works. Well, you have a whole Speedo.

I paid. For the speed of.

Your paper, yeah. You have to speak the right

Scotty. So how did they work out for

Adrian? 'S.

Not well, no. Everything still works at the

moment, but I know for now runs well.

Again, it's good to know that your cars are working, that you're here even though you're not in your car.

You catch an Uber. No, no.

See, I've got a dad that has a work cross.

I'll get prettied up. OK.

And feels expensive. It is.

It is getting quite literally out of hand.

But good to have you here. Adrian.

We're random to say hi to everybody.

Anthony Falk, Mr Turbo. Terry is alive and well and

kicking out guys. We're gonna be careful what we

say as well. He's an officer.

He is in. Everything is on the record.

For those watching the video stream, anything, he's just off camera along with Adrian. So you guys.

Have to lean in. If you're there you go.

I'm fine staying off camera. We protect his.

Identity. Protected person now because

nobody. Likes them always, Always.

Protected species, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, yeah. Everything.

Everything. 'S done on the quad.

Inquiries are pending. The prosecution.

Rests gonna look not. Pretty much.

That good to have you, Anthony could see the termitary out.

Yeah. And I know it's good to see you.

Good to see Crown getting fixed soon and.

We'll see how that goes. Where the engine turns over

we'll find out in course, but it would be good to have a car that I can drive more than 10K without worrying.

It's gonna break hopefully. Fingers crossed.

Good to see you mate. Father and son dynamic duo are

Holly and Rob. How are you guys because?

That's it. That's it.

Moving on. No.

Fighting. Was he?

Questions? Yeah.

What can we say? Rob, I've heard that you are you

you've started your business back up again, is that correct?

That's correct. In the proper industrial area,

I'll. Wait.

Wait, wait, so. If you're saying.

If you're saying industrial, does that mean we get to do skins in that you can't in driveway?

So why are we not to others in the room?

I know. The office is off, but he's not

here anymore. Yeah, a might get us but.

Do we have any EPA officers on board?

I'm sure Andy's got some base though.

This is the corner writing everything down, so engine swaps, fabrications. Painting.

Painting, firefighting, it's all happening again.

It's all happening. We need to merge commercial

talking about before we need them.

So before the show, Adrian is like we're gonna make like much like how Jim's got like Jimmy Morning Jimmy.

Drifting games, all that. Just picture of Rob just with

underneath fire extinguishers electrical.

That was. Robs allegiance.

He just came up with that. 1. Well, I mean, it's the Jews

drifting one is probably the best.

It's, it's it's it's so good, right.

She's. Gonna send you all the gym.

Stuff no I haven't. That exists to watch it.

It just goes like off the roof discussion.

One of them that I remember is Jim's race racial segregation.

What? OHS choose, right.

OK. Anyway, go back to Rob.

Back to rob. So.

So how are you guys going? Going well, doing well.

Working in a few cars. Just doing up the old mercs.

That's pretty much it. Really.

Did you get rid of the barrel Mac?

Yeah, barrel marks on my things gone.

Got a new Merc W12. 3 Then you gotta holler miss, So I would

say. So that's why I don't like you

anymore. OK?

I'm. I'm part of the other German

side. Sorry.

It's that I've got a 30 BMW as well.

Cool. Say 63 still still that I'm

broke. My 836 V Very good.

How you finding the Ranger rocks.

It's it's good. It's good.

Yeah like 100 cases the thing it's pretty good.

Pretty good as daily. Most of the bumps seem pretty

roads, so you could you just hit things at any speed.

Is a bit like a Ranger driver, but with a bit more sophistication. Yeah, pretty much.

He gets a bit closer and he flashes his lights.

He does, yeah, So it doesn't take, it doesn't take much, does it really doesn't take much to take it to that point.

Like it's stuck on a camera in the right hand lane.

The question is does the Camry have free parking deal on the on the on the corner of the of the? Because like.

The question. Is.

Questionable Camry, I mean. I mean, to be fair, I've been in

the car with Element driving the Max, and he was the most calm dual cab driver I've ever seen. You haven't seen him driving.

I've seen you in Craigieburn. Doing.

What I worry I know what you're doing.

Allegedly. Allegedly osophy here.

Wait, Anthony, can you leave for a?

2nd. Yeah, but that's.

Crazy burn like it comes out of you.

It does it's. Like crazy.

Into there every day and. I'm like, oh.

My God, the things I see, you lock the doors and she's ridiculous. I really wish that I actually

was a police officer because I would have reached my quota in like. No.

Time. That's true.

Even very true. Like having your phone in your

hand while driving is like a mandatory thing in Pregnant and I'm yelling and yelling, yeah. It's a rite of passage, yeah.

Phone in one hand and a vape in the other hand, and then it's either a camera or Mercedes in Frank Given.

What makes it worse is if you've got a nice car or the local car and like, that's actually a decent car, People come up next to you and they start revving the car and wanting to like, dude, I'm just trying to go home.

It's 2:00 AM. There is construction

everywhere. It's 40K now like where are we

gonna? Go.

Where are we gonna go? Right race, 100 metres down

across one line. That's fine.

And red light means go. That is so true.

Yeah, for anyone hating on us, hating on, grabbing.

A lot of us live there. So you know, yeah, hashtag.

We all live in Western. So.

We love it and we. Hate it.

It's great fun. I mean, yeah, I hate it.

Trade up? Trade.

Yeah. Yeah, he's gone.

He's gone. Hang on.

I gotta let the record state the Scotty.

I believe you're in Sunbury, so you would know the Brokens.

Now, so you know that much. Maybe I tell you what I'm

talking about Morgans in summary today.

So you see it's every all the time.

But we thought would do some shopping.

It was just after midday going through the main, the main part of the shopping centre, and you got the stupid crossing where you gotta sit there and wait for everyone walking across and that's the mom and kid go across.

The dad stops for a minute to Scully's Jim Beam and finish that off. Road is, it throws it in the bin

and then. Quickly does that weird run

across the road and then later on after our shopping, he's in the shopping centre drinking a thick shake.

She even. Secured mixture say well.

Yeah. Big lad, Big.

Lad respect Chad, welcome. Hello.

How you doing? Good.

Very good. Good.

Good to have you here mate. Thank you.

As the as the the youngest member, not youngest, but like the the. How would you explain reasons?

The freshest. Yes.

Good word, mates. We're so screwed.

Yeah, you are so suspicious. Why do we get to know you

better? Yeah, especially now that

Adrian's here. It's a.

Yes. And you put the two of us

together. It's chaotic.

And you gave us a microphone to? Share I know that that that was

my first mistake making you to sit over there but anyway that's that's that's another statistically there microphone doesn't. Work.

Yeah. It's been off the.

Whole it's quiet. We don't need a microphone.

Allegedly. So Chad, thanks again for coming

on the show tonight. Thanks for being here for the

500. Thank you.

Thanks for having me. It's really nice seeing everyone

in person and face to face and meeting the people that I've heard their voices of hundreds of hours.

Yeah. So it's really good.

We're sorry. What was that?

We're sorry. No, I did it to myself.

I got a lot of time to go, yeah, it's really good.

So I'm glad to be part of this group in that.

It's good to have you. It's good to see all of you in,

in real life, our IRL, as the kids would say.

Well, considering is new. What Car?

Yeah. Oh.

Yeah. They don't know about it, but

yeah, some of the guys may not. Have the previous episode.

Might you keep up? Keep up, Andrew.

Hey, look, I don't get invited again.

I don't actually get invited anymore.

I just happened to rock up today.

Every. Time.

I noticed all these cars out the front of.

Maddie never shows. Up.

That's all. I don't even get anything in the

invitations. Hey, the does the invite not go

out every single week? It does.

It does. No, no, no.

See when you had the special guest?

Yeah, I had no idea until after the show came out.

Yes Sir, you are. My I've just always asleep,

leave me alone, so I go into hibernation.

That's on you mate. Well, Chad, quickly go through

your speak so you can fill up the dates.

All righty. Quickly go through.

Your children can start hating. The the, the newest thing I have

on the road is a second Gen Terrago, which I drove here tonight, yeah. It's good start.

Let's start. It's a great car on that.

Hot cups the eggs. I'm pretty sure Edward Space

then, yeah. So good.

I'm sure Edward love you because of that.

No, Yeah, no, we're we've already established a connection over it. Yeah, I wouldn't know.

I don't get invited to do so. Sorry, sorry to hear.

God. Because yeah, I just signed up

as it was telling me about it earlier.

So yeah, that that'll definitely be there.

S13. It's still at the Garage Queen

as always, but at least going out to an event in a couple of weeks time and Brian Park, so it'll do a little hill climb there. What's a Running Powers?

Started stock and a SR20, so probably 48 kilowatts at the.

Engine is that is that bugger off?

Yeah, heal as well. Yeah, yeah.

Downhill in neutral, you know, like just nothing.

Nothing is stopping it. Yeah.

When this is. Yeah, I30 and missus daily and

that pops and bangs everywhere. It has the pops in.

There it has. It's actually come on it.

It's actually I didn't do it. That's how I bought.

It that you should have. Bought.

Allegedly. No.

It's a great car. It's it's a great car.

Allegedly. Yeah.

Sorry. Yeah.

I gotta say, unless they come out with from factory, but one thing I can't cannot stand is the exact but people don't get that tune on it. Yeah, yeah.

The issue with the X Fives is that when you see on the part of the five forms anyway, he probably has one and we don't know about. No, I don't.

No, I don't. I don't.

I I like the extra five. I think it's a great car, but

that's beside the point. So, so quite often it'll be a

young guy buys it and then they'll be like, hi guys, look at my, look at my new stuff. I've just got off an old lady.

Can't wait to start modifying it.

Yeah, and like, literally, we all look, I'm just putting my pop and bang shoe all week after that.

Hey guys, have an Angel, right? No, no, no, no.

Hey guys do is there any engines for sale on the so and that is quite it was that it was that quite is that often that it became a mean it's like it's like why don't you mean takes up five turbo bought by people pops and bangs popped it too much with the with extra detonation pose mode So yeah it it it it's quite literally a thing but that's factory that's factory pops and bangs dude in America there there like one guy got

pulled over for and and and he's like that's how my car is and the cop was like no I don't believe they didn't take it back to Hyundai it's broken and he's like he's like but that's how the car is like and I don't think I did only back him in that time I mean you probably know better.

Than I'm not sure actually. I would have to imagine they

would have, well, you know, they have to sign off on it or I don't know what they're doing. Isn't California California so

that? Makes.

Sense. Yes, there were smog.

Smog, yeah. Then some sort of smog test

book. No.

Yeah. Look I30, I know it's a it's

like on the same spectrum as golfer.

No, it's not. It is not.

No, it's the vibe, but I think the drivers car.

Get out. Get.

Leave a drivers car, it's brilliant.

Go on And it's, Yeah, it's. Again, it's still you have to go

around saying. I don't know window.

Well, I don't. I only say it part of the.

Podcast. Plus, you asked.

But to be fair I was full we will target battling awhile ago and allegedly and what was that sorry Anthony did here What in Mexico obviously so so and it is obnoxiously there like I I it's wild how how that's like legal and I was like she is hoping that well done so that's gonna be over the decibel rating 100% of us has to be like it's my last year but not at 8000.

Well, when it's. Like when it's.

Taking up a little bit more into the why.

What is? He's wearing a while.

Yeah, when I'm actually an undercover agent and that's why I've got this whole thing recording that torchy black van that's parked. Just out the front.

You weren't supposed to see that yet.

Time. Yeah.

It just says not police. Report on the side of it.

OHS You've got some really cool cars.

The other fine car is a Civic sedan like an old AG and that's caged and all all the track stuff on it which is cool.

What matter day 15 like a 1.5 litre seem like bad Cam non beta

motor that you can. Try.

Everyday disappointments. Leave at the site like this big

track weapon and we're like. That's.

Awesome it is. It is.

It is good. It is got maybe the slowest

engine in the whole Honda. Family.

Well, look, I do understand. Yeah, B Sixteens are expensive.

Oht insanely. I mean people want 3 grand for a

long walk and stuff which is like.

Do you years ago based over? EJ my heart Which?

Is a B16A. Yeah, with the manual swap in

it. Yeah.

And I sold it like 2 1/2 ohhhhh. I bought it for two.

And I had fun. With 100 bucks profit.

Yeah, Jimmy had a lot of fun in that car.

Like, it was good. Like shredding through every

year off beat tech off. And then you look down.

Like, really to be fair that's the only car that survived Adrian. It's it's wow, Honda.

If you can break a Honda, you can.

It was unlimited all the time, though.

Yeah, so anyway, you can make it move.

Yeah. So yeah.

And then the last one for the last one on the right but 198 with the manual and sportsline kit and that's yeah that's slowly getting no paint but paint prep on it and.

I know someone. His name is Rob.

I I've heard he does wonderful and the whole thing.

So yeah, just because. Because he does catch a car on

fire sometimes. Ohe look, you know.

Only if it's. Sport though, honestly, yeah,

honestly, fire is better than the rust it's got on at the moment, so. The holes hole cause.

Yeah. I could have bogged, that's

quite easily, but you wanted it welded.

I didn't say anything. You know, I when when you told

me that, I was like, why don't you just push it?

It's like was on The Voice. I couldn't.

Get up the voice, the heist to it.

He had to drill a hole in the He patched it up, did it all beautifully. He goes back in.

Oh God. Smoking out?

Like, yeah, you got like a also also, yeah, just drilled into his nice work. I want to just push the.

Car into the middle, straight and said.

Hey Mattie, I don't know what happened.

Wasn't it short? It was, yeah.

Yeah, I did. I would have done it right out

of that, to be fair. But anyway could covered your

cars. David Prince, welcome.

Thanks for coming on the show. No, it's a it's it's all it's a

heavier you're the first one I do.

I remember how nervous I was first time on radio and remember all the long pauses. It was like, so we're gonna talk

about because I, I, I read myself a script and and and you know I I thought I'd played it really well.

That would have lost like 2 minutes with quite literally I was breaking into a sweat. I was like, I'm live on the air

and there's people actually listening.

It was my mom, but it was Russias justice.

But yeah, it was it was good. It was, it was a fun, fun first

episode. And then we talked about hot

hatches. What a surprise, because I, like

you, thought there was every. Everything edges.

It's it's it's just just repeating every episode.

You bring up hot hatches. So on that on that first episode

was James Josipovici who's not here to is is not here tonight.

Adam Grasso and to who's not here again obviously I'm not here like they they they they come and go and I this was the first episode but then I think I think it was just us three actually. But then after that I think 2

episode two you you came out you can't you came on board.

Oh yeah it's one of the very first episodes and at the time I was just against and that's with the show went to the next level.

Yeah, yeah, that's what I was like, you know what, I need to be part of this. So I forced my way and said

Maddie, you know. So so does.

He says, like, I want all the royalties I would.

He he made me sign NDA's and all these, all these contracts.

I was gonna say the contract says he owns 50%.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anything, 51%, it's a

controlling share. I'll take this whole thing.

Maddie just gets the title. That's it.

That's it. Yeah.

It's like the reason why it's called like on the right.

Sure. Are you wanted to have my name

on there? Like, oh, you know you need to

say, you know it's this programme with with with with a name. Like really want people to know

my name in the show. So it's the reason why little

Jay, I guess like they put that down and I wrote it down because I didn't have anyone to write. But that's that's just kind of

what happens. But I was referring to this Car

Talk anyway. So it's to you with the QSR QE.

Yes, I can share point question. Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you.

Somebody. Yeah, yeah, that was.

Just a bit of a laugh. When I saw.

That road racing, it's what they do.

It's just pretty normal. I mean.

Hey, that guy's name was. Actually, I mean, it was good

that he. Put it in the bin.

So yeah, quickly, quickly scaled it down, then off he goes.

But you. Know I love that he did it in

the middle of the crossing like mid cross.

They had to. They just had to do it.

Yeah, he was about to cross with it, but then stopped and walked.

Back and he's like. This to his wife.

I'm like, yeah, he's like, wait a minute, you know, kind of thing like the skull it down and throw it in the bin and then we'll see. I tell you what, if I saw that

he was keeping Australia beautiful, yeah, he's like the bins here is good. Otherwise it's on the floor and

you know, he respects Australia. So I would put down my window

and ask what is your name? You need to be Prime Minister.

Steve. It's pretty normal.

And Patrick, how you doing, man? Good man.

Good. It's good to be, you know, Big

500. Thanks.

Congratulations. You've come a long way.

Some issues. Maddie, how much have you paid?

Him. Just just don't want this nice

pizza. No, it's.

It's. It's the.

Arm. Over many being a teacher.

Yeah, yeah, I was just gonna say say no, actually, no, you don't wanna see Maddie. Yeah, it was kind of a bit of a

bit of an asshole of a substitute teacher to me.

Yes. The first one.

Actually. I could remember that stuck out

to me. I remember once me and my mates

were messing around in class. Or not.

I'm talking about cars and whatnot, you know, just minding my own business. I wasn't disrupting the class.

Also, go student. I care.

I care. About you're OK, you're.

OK. And then from the horses mouth.

Yeah. And then yeah.

And then like obviously minding my own business and the money comes up to us. And I don't know, I was talking

to my mate I'll be Airways who Airways as Scott apparently 10 reels and 10 GRS. But the magic comes over and

then he's like, you boys need you to keep it down.

And entering the class at the start menu was nice to me and this and that. And then he comes and tells me

to keep it down. Squat nasty about it, OK.

I'm like. What an asshole, he said.

You punch him. And I'm like, wow, really, It's

like just like that. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then like not even 5 minutes later it comes back.

He's like something about cars on this guys switches, right quick, man. And then I think it was a

couple, couple weeks later when I was working part time at Target, JJ was coming out of my break, was starting my shift and I was walking out of the office area just like I stop, I'll look at the ground and look at him. I'll look at the wall.

I look ahead and I'm like, I'll point to my fingers and I'm like, do do you, are you this guy that teaches me distance, Like, Yep. Shaking his head.

I'm like. Gotta put up with him again.

Here we go. Can't you can't get away from

him. But you know it's always a

pleasure to be here. Obviously.

Like Scotty started on a Sunday. Kickbacks.

Yeah, yeah. I remember back when I was

rocking around in the brother Sportivo, which till this day in age is probably the greatest car out of everyone.

Rest in peace that car later along with my longer with us.

But you know, it's good to be here, man.

Thanks for coming on, dude. And just for the record Patrick,

as a substitute teacher it's very bloody hard to work at a state school. So.

So when I first started there, I was obviously there was a sub I was like a part of it was like I was told cars with these kids the whole period. So you're not a real teacher at

the time Adrian training, paying the bills and I'm still working at Target so but anyway, so guys, 500 episodes in.

Thanks for thank you all for coming.

I just wanted just to start the show by by giving you guys a big thank you. It's been it's been it's hard to

do a show I had to do a podcast had to talk talk to you, to yourself about topics and things.

You find yourself starting to get mad so having other people to bounce ideas off and have a laugh with on a Tuesday night or Sunday night it's it actually makes it makes life a bit of fun especially now in our daily lives where we can get caught up with things and it's refreshing to say no.

Tuesday night, I talk to the guys for an hour about cars, get annoyed by Anthony and Adrian. Little do we know we're.

Actually all figments of Matt's imagination.

We don't exist. We're just the voices in his

head. That sitting in his garage,

talking to himself. Change all these plank chairs

around. Just keep.

Sitting there all. Those, even the This is all

imagined. He's like in the mental

institute. Padded walls.

It sounds like a good script for a new movie, though.

I don't wanna give him food. And he's like, how's it going?

Yeah, it's Mary Jane. And like he's doing it again.

Share Subscribe. Doctors at the door going.

He's up to his 500. They dragged away to get

treatment. And here's the potential.

Think about the potential. Forgot about that.

That's why he gets all the free cars, because your imagination, they're they're they're all you can have whatever you want I can do. So why would you want yourself

to have a Pre Ltd? No, it's it's.

I don't know why anyone would stand up for themselves.

That's why. That's why.

Hello. It's not Ferraris.

Yeah look like you do your where we started.

So again everything was pretty early on Asian was pretty early on Alan was like episode 2. So, so he's he's been, he's been

he's been there since since since the start.

Robin Holly have been. I've been there quite early on.

Um, yeah. Like, I think since when you had

you white Mustang, even before that you weren't from there.

Absolutely. Yeah.

You guys been on quite a fair bit Scotty you obviously you know kickbacks and so Scotty, that's just for the Scotty patronised actually all work together at Target.

The Dream Team we were, it was the dream team of talking about cars and not much work being done.

What about all the? Matters.

You know, I was thinking about it today how it was originally when I first worked at Target and then I went to super cheap and then hired Matt to work at super cheap and then his boss super cheap. And then obviously I left and

that and then went to uni and came back to Target and then Maddie was still there for a bit at Target, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, for another little bit, yeah.

And. All I can remember is I don't

know what else meant to be doing, but I remember you doing work and I'm just following you around, talking to you put on the work like near closing time where you've gotta, you know, put time away and tidy up. I don't know what I was meant to

be doing. Like I'm picturing in my head I

go, what was my job at? This.

Was meant to be doing at Target. All I remember is me just follow

a matter around watching him do a tidy and I'm just chatting to him about cars in this chat. I don't know what else meant.

To be dude, it wasn't work. Do quite often.

We'd hide in the the, the whole section and just go through all the cars. Yeah.

So that's why I can't find it. Yes.

And when the first boxes would come, you'd like we wouldn't sit on the phone at the back so no one knows and it would take out all the good ones. But have a look in the in the

cages to see if anyone's loaded up the Hot Wheels cars.

Hey mate, we wouldn't work. The stock obviously would remove

all the other boxes and get to the box of the hot.

Wheels open it. Up.

Start going through the boxes, See what's there.

Always suspect grab. What we wanted at.

Every. Instead of those.

Yeah, it does. He's pretty.

Yeah, Maddie, I'm gonna have a. Chat to you after the show.

That's fine. I deserve one.

I'll. I was.

I mean, if if I've got an officer here, so it's all legal, Well, I mean, I paid for them. Allegedly.

Allegedly. Yeah.

Yeah. We we we spent a lot of time tub

got going through and all like all the rare ones like the limited edition like Fast and Furious and the big big ones they never make it to the floor so.

I wonder. Why?

They don't send enough like it's limited additional.

Something. It's like, it's like 20 packs

and you're. Like.

If I buy the 20 packs of my price and sell them on eBay, I'll get triple the money out. The issue is, Adrian.

I say that to myself, like if I sucking brothers, I never sell them. And and and there's a reason why

I've got four boxes up there. I've just bought more.

My parents. That's also known as hoarding.

That is also known as. Hoarding, collecting.

I'm sorry. Thank.

You fine, yes. Yes.

With the rest of us, do is collect.

Yes, that is correct because Maddie will have like four or five of the same one. That's called hoarding.

Collecting is if you just have one of them because you're collecting it, you don't need four of the same. 1. 21 to

display, yeah. We're all consuming.

Hot Wheels track. Two is understandable because

one you gotta keep in the box all nice mint condition and the other one to be fair, I felt about this one time because when the Cars 2 the movie came out, Mark Winterbottom, the race car driver very well known. He used to come in super all

time actually. Was it his name?

Partially frosty. His character was frosty in

Frosty So, so but I think that was Frosty as a race car driver in the movie Cars for the Australian market, he was the special character Crossy and they sent, they sensed each target a certain amount of cars and I bought more from my store and I remember I remember I keep coming this allegedly or this is, this is, this is, this is definitely.

Is a confessional, Anthony. Anyway I remember because I

haven't bought it yet because they're getting I freaked out cause I was like Oh yeah this is this is this is much like six of them. Anyway, I I hit him at the back

in this cause I'm looking in the sand department so I put him in the sand in the in the sound lock up ads to target here this.

None of us even have a chance of getting anything good.

It was all. It was all.

Scared. Is that OK?

Yeah. Thanks, Anthony, for letting

everybody know. Anyway, and this comes in, it's

like I have the latest cars come out and I'm like, I'm like which one you're after? And and he's like Oh yeah, the

bossy. And I was just like ohhhhh.

I'm like I think I've got one left and I went out the back and it's like boxing 6. And I took one and I was like,

well, my heart was breaking. Give it to you guys.

Let's be honest, you. Weren't doing that.

You were like you went out the back and you're looking at the six. Something like I could part.

Nah, I'm not gonna part. I could.

I could have done that and. The other thing you did was

actually checking the condition. To see I did.

Actually I did check that I did. I was like we which boxes, but

they were all brand new. The box sells like are they all

the same? But like somebody went there

with the the boxes but I'm like a big part of you just like like you know I felt bad for everybody else but I was like, no, I did. I did.

You felt bad until you started like scanning all yeah that's exactly right. But but it was funny because

like this week later Frosty came to Essendon Ford because he had won Bathurst like old month before that and he was doing like the the trail of like all the what they call the presses at all the different places and you went in there and and and I had I had some spare out so I went down.

With all 5. Correct with all five And and I

got a photo with him and I'm like do you mind signing some stuff And he's like, so sure, man.

And he's like, Oh my God, you look at these.

Five of. Them.

They're 4/4 now, yeah. No, you're not.

Back to Maddie's like the prostate.

Just hang on a SEC. I've got these five, but I'm

gonna grab the other 20. Boxes.

No, but. Look back to the kid, takes it

back on. No, look, we end up getting a

hold on the ball, another two boxes actually, And you took them. No, I didn't.

I didn't. I did take the first box, so.

So I will just as bad. But you're making it sound like

no, I didn't take any. Of them.

But really, you still took another whole ball.

Did you want the frosty or not? No, you didn't ask for one.

But it's frosty. If you wanna ask, you know.

And then the next guy kind of in time.

But yeah, look, disappointment alright, but yeah, I got, I got a picture with him holding himself as a car.

It was pretty good. But anyway, moving on.

So that's where I met you guys. You guys come into the fold.

Every bunting was next. Edward.

I met a Cars and Coffee events in Wilson's car park That's not shady at all. No, it wasn't real early have.

Yeah. But it was.

Before the 1st. Yeah, massive, yeah.

It was real. And of course, I know I will be

more. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. No, no, yeah, definitely.

It is a good show. It's cracking.

It's awesome. Thing.

Some reason. That's a good.

I was like 2016, like, well, this is, this actually goes well. That's what this is, Matt.

It's just like now the car can get for free.

Yeah, there was. She was trying to work my way

in, but it didn't quite work. No, but he did promise me.

You know it's it's it's in you will.

Yeah. Like that's a no, I'm, I'm, I'm,

I'm, I'm kidding. I didn't say that you brought

that in. And it's true, Edward, I met, so

that's why you came in about 20-19 and then yeah, 2019, yeah.

And then from there, pre pandemics, they're from there.

I was introduced to the Mr. David Prince and she has been on

the show since about mid 2019 to early 2020.

And yeah, you know, I think it would be something that was that Sakura picnic. It was, yeah, correct.

Which which which it is. Ohk.

Maddie, are you adorable? Matt, you bought him dinner?

Absolutely. I'm buying him dinner.

Yeah, I. Would would.

Yeah, that's hot. That's hot.

So we gotta hold hands and it's gonna be romantic and everything's gonna be great. But it's so cute.

But yeah, so he's been on the show ever since.

And then our newest comma actually known since probably years. I reckon you're becoming a super

cheap my super cheap Chad. Yeah.

And we've talked and talked and talked and that we're talking about that. That was the first day I had

actually I I bought it and drove the truck to.

Work oht really yeah. He had to show he had the show.

Like it's. Natural.

Yeah. To show people super cheap,

actually Like cars. Yeah, yeah, not all. 16 It's not

a. 16 or so that is true. So yeah, I've been coming to the

store for years. And then, yeah.

And then somehow I put it together that you were Mary Jane from Cartel is. Yeah, probably.

Yeah, like two or three years before.

You poor poor. Which was weird.

Like I I had no idea. Yeah.

Dude, I remember, I remember when when he when he when he Jared and he says he's like, he's like hang on a minute like you like it was like a month. He's like, I can't believe I've

been coming. In yeah, it all came like

talking to you, either in my head, like the voice that you know the cause. Yeah, you know.

All the pre cars, um. And you know, you feel in the

show like really, really well. So you come on board.

You. You've given me crap about my

cars. Which is which is what?

You do. He's good, then.

He's a good man. Yeah, he's a great man.

Right, right of. Passage on this show so yeah so

so you've you've picked straight in and and like it's it's just interesting how you know as a collective like we're all different and I know you from all different.

I know you from all different things you know like Robert Harley family long time family friends Anthony primary school.

Adrian primary school, high school.

And you know, like I've done for all different things and you know we share this one passion of cars and and you know it's interesting you know, from cars like when I, when I first bought the skip the first question he asked OHP he's like you put anything on. My God yeah I bought it seems

like I see you know David Prince And I'm like I'm like yes yes I do now and it's just like you you get you you know people who know people who you know it's it's it's a small world and and quite literally like the fact that like and and you're you're you're your best friend like online to to you guys.

Yeah, yeah, Well, yeah. You guys know who?

And you know Hanley as well and. Yeah.

Yeah. So it's it's it's a small world

right. And we live in two different

sides of Melbourne too. It's it's it's it's it's it's

pretty crazy. But yeah, just just want to say

big thanks to you guys for making the show what it is.

It's it's it's a real, you know it's it's it's become a really a really enjoyable thing to to do on an evening to to talk and talk cars and stuff. So, so thank you.

But I wanted to ask you guys out of the running the show since 2016. So it's eight years the the best

moments of the show, you know, and the best guests and and and and the moment. So they stick it to your mind

that that's happened on the show to me.

There's been, there's been, there's been some really, really good highlights. Like I enjoy doing every show.

I obviously edit every show, Inspector, listen back to it and I even laughed and I'm like God, what are we on when we talk about some of the stuff we talked about.

There's some really really you know big highlights and I think probably for me like getting getting one of my all time like as a as a kid watching your show.

You know you know you know not from here from in high school and learning learning learning a lot about cars and and you know Wheeler dealing Mr Mike bro. I thought that was like a like a

Halo God level moment in terms of that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, even. Even.

Like, it did. It did.

It did. Even Mike was just like, yeah,

they, Adrian, pissed off. Even even, even, even even Mike

was just like, OK. I.

Just want to point something out here.

Yeah. Just so people understand why

I'm upset with Maddie, you are hiatus.

No, no, no. No.

No, no, no, no. I heard nothing about Mike going

onto the show because I know you wanted to keep them to yourself until the episode went up. Adrian you, he comes, the voice

of reason. We're talking about, you know,

favourite episodes and whatnot. Now, you had a history of saying

that GTR's aren't super cars. That's part of the opening song,

alright, So GPR that has consequences that they are not A35 GTA male supercar, OK, they're not a supercar.

Same as I was telling Maddie before, every single Porsche that is out there bar the CGT are all sports cars as well.

They are not supercars. You're 9/11 GT3RS turbo breaking

911 thing is not a supercar, it is a sports car.

All I'm saying is actions have consequences.

You know, if you want to keep on this rhetoric of GTA is not being supervised, you know, you might miss out in the future.

I'm not saying it would happen. I'm just saying it's been noted.

Yeah, you know why I went to the show is done.

Can I? Can I can I just show up here?

I've got my. Allegedly.

Opposite. Yeah, alright.

Just wanna get rid of this debate once and for all.

Address is 35 GTI classified as a super girl.

Well, everybody's gonna say yes. OK, Alright.

OK, 5, OK. So, so OK, it's five and 1234.

Hey, you forget to ask the question.

Who actually cares if it's a supercar?

It's undecided. So they obviously don't

understand and they need me to start talking about.

Let me. Break it down.

Here we go. Please, please Scotty, it is not

a supercar. Yes, that's one of the

recordings. It definitely had divided room.

Look, I drive one from Melbourne to Sydney for purpose and.

That's all right. How many points did you get on

the way? Well, it wasn't in my name so I

have no idea. But also it doesn't go over 107,

so it does, but not on the cruise.

Sorry. Anyway, cool.

I just thought it was one of the most boring Castle drive, as in, but I wasn't tracking it obviously, and it's yeah, what it's intended. Purpose.

Something I was actually gonna say to go.

On with that. Yeah.

To me, an R35 has done a supercar.

It never will be. But.

I understand what they were made for.

I understand that they made for the track and I appreciate what they do on the track, but it would never be a supercar.

It just doesn't have that presence as what a Lambo or Ferrari or a McLaren does. You see them, cars on the street

compared with 35 and you're like, well, that's a super car.

You look at the 35 and you're like it's just a glorified Datsun. Interesting.

By that logic, the Lamborghini is just a glorified Audi right at the moment. But that started off as a

supercar, so always would be. Exactly.

It's a glorified truck dog. OK, alright, so you're saying

that any put like let's say hypercar sports that's come from like a humble grand is not lobby, won't be as won't be a superhero. Like as I said, the Porsche CGT

is a supercar. OK, what about Alexis Elephant?

No, that's just a turd. Oh my God.

OK. I don't like.

That I can't reason with you, Adrian me.

Don't waste the money that point Lamborghinis like waste of money Paris. No, no cause.

Wouldn't you get there right? Ridiculous money.

See, see, the reason why Lamborghini is worth the money is because when you get in the car, yes, it is broken.

Yes, it's still at the dealership getting there.

It's always look at the symbol on the steering wheel and it's a Lamborghini until you pull it back and it's got the Audi Volkswagen Summer when I saw again before, before the punch on, before the punches go, so so that was a big call.

Another bill for me was the cartel car race we did a few years ago. So that was where we all went

live on our phones and we had to get to when we go inside.

Science works classwork. We get the science works using

no maps, using no navigation, using no freeways, and we all look the same location and the epic popped out our way there.

I came last. No surprise.

It was, it was fun it. Was you by yourself?

It was me by myself. You you had like grand navigator

alarm over here. Oh yeah, Alan, the absolute.

Champ. We win in the Subaru.

That was good. You guys dominated anyway.

Like, I was reading all the comments.

I was, yeah, allegedly driving. And they're coming up on like I

was like looking like coming lost people telling their balls out of you. Alright sorry.

So yeah look that was that was a really cool cool experience.

I think that was probably one of the one of one of the highlights of of of doing the show. What about you guys, Anthony,

out of all the shows you've been on, what's probably gonna highlight for from from your, from your perspective look?

Mine would have been probably more of a obscure sort of scenario for us that we did know that.

Yeah. So yeah, that was very early on.

Yeah, so. That was a good time.

I love that car. That was great.

I am little bit sad that we did choose to can that and then move on with our lives. So was really good fun.

But yeah, we did Haunted hills in that we did winter.

It broke as well did Bradford. So yeah, that was that was good

fun. That was that was good fun.

So that's a little little side quest, I guess you'd say cattle.

Yeah, but the good thing is like we'd race in the weekend, would come back on Tuesday and talk about it.

Yeah, yeah, exactly that. The best part was because it was

on Club Radio 2, so we didn't have to worry about half of the hassles of all the other track cars and track light because we basically we'd still be using it as an everyday car because it was a little one. .5 litre little nugget that just kept.

Going. That car was attained like just

the context. There's three of us in this car

and I'm not gon nationals as you know like there's obviously there's obviously the concessions view session next week goes up. This can't stay out because.

Because you guys are all in. Different, yeah, cause we're all

in different heights. Yeah.

So that would be the case of, you know, the next person comes in alright. So I might have two heats, my

brother might do cheats and that might do one, whatever it might be, yeah. And you know, would it be

churning through it and. Just running all day.

Yeah, yeah. And would have my car, my, my

you at that time was the was the parts car.

Yeah. You know just the little bits

and pieces, especially wheels basically in the back of it essentially. Yeah.

Those are basically an endurance, yeah.

Pastries then, yeah. It like I'd hate to know what

the oil temps were because it just, it was no off the track.

Well, it never the light never came on.

So you good? Yeah.

Well, mate, doesn't help, but there's no Bob.

Yeah. You know me.

But you know we're just that was that was really fun.

I mean pretty much all we did was just chop it up with the race, cool down and then the next race essentially each time.

But it was fun going from literally box stock to then chucking the coil overs into it, then given the semi slicks into it and then just saying what difference.

Something like that. Max, we can't like 5 seconds of

a lap. Yeah, just just with tyres.

It was putting it made that much of a difference.

I couldn't, I couldn't. Yeah, yeah.

Mind you were the original tyres would probably like 10 years old as well. Never.

Changed since we had it. But as you pursue I think what

ranking semis on there? Yeah, against semis, I think

their directional too. Yeah, big difference.

Yeah, big difference but. Came alive.

It was phenomenal drive. It was really competitive to.

Dragon Ball shit. And actually, that reminds me

too. The eBay special Momo steering

wheel. Yeah, yeah, the one.

That's the first time I've actually try it and didn't even think about it. We've gone around a couple of

corners and steering will actually bending on us.

But before that happened, before I started to give way, we had the order that was so bad that. Yeah, yeah, actually.

After the first session, we had to come in and disconnect the board and go back out where was looking.

I was like, yeah, these guys are idiots, like.

They said they got no idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But no, that was that was probably one of the one of the top sort of side quests that say it's my Talk Car Talk favourite event we should. Do that again.

Still a little bit disappointing though with the initial car concept that we were going with. Yeah, well, look at it in the

sport. Yeah.

Which had the Recaro seats and stuff.

And yeah, and you're like, oh, they're really cool.

And then we just kind of. Well, I mean, it was the fact

that I managed to find one. Yeah, there was.

That guy was in Triberg sort of area and UM, what was it?

I think it was. I've gone and checked it all

out. So stroll out with you guys.

Sent the guy a message a week later he didn't get back to me.

And then the following week he sent me a message saying yeah it's still available crash button, but exactly that he's ended up he's ended up putting in the bin bent bent, bent the front front radiator support and everything else like that as I was like I'll do do a good deal on you and I'm like, yeah, Nah, I think everything is said and done unfortunately for that.

But. He bent it pretty hard.

Yeah, you did. You did a good job.

Things like that. But yeah, again the sale was

great as the as the second in the end that we couldn't find any role being a sports around anywhere.

There were red colour, not the same man like the guy that bought office wouldn't continue doing, yeah.

Yeah, he ended up you end up taking on and doing Dougnuts himself. So it's, yeah, I don't know how

much longer, but it kept going. It was a packing little car.

Adrian, favourite memory of the show.

So many. I think there's there's been a

few. I'm picking on you, Mum.

Stop. There's been like a highlight

that is the highlight of a highlights.

Well, I think we've established that but I have to say I think it was classic Japan. Yeah, we, I think I ended up

meeting you there and it and I had an ex there that was in there. Yeah, it was awesome.

I love that thing. And then yeah, we we were going

around with all the cars and I think just before everybody started leaving, we decided to jump in abstract rug and that's why you remember that, Remember that where did on the floor you like just give? Me just.

All my stuff. Yeah, I remember that cause

they're so clean and just like, I don't want to dirty it, you're. Just get.

In. Yeah, yeah, cause you you got

the prime spot right centre. The way that I look at it is I

saw your car first. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that

was that was definitely a fun day like that. 1.

The problem? It's just, it's just been fun.

Yeah, been enjoying picking on. You.

Yeah. It's like a highlight because

it's I I think again I'm just like the amount of times you speaking on my show, you you still asking me to come back because I love you mate. And there's there's, there's

that's, yeah, that love trumps all.

Unfortunately Robert Harley, you guys, my highlight was when you guys had car every week and he's picked this Barrow murk and then Anthony. Yeah, and the.

Next thing I go to me, I bought it.

You see the look on your face? You bought it, you bastard.

You bought this car? You guys brought that up on the

show, yeah. So we should do on the Sonic

base, we should do some Car of the week so we find like the most interesting carpeting Grand or And Anthony won hands down an engineered W 108 Barrett Turbo swap manual with Brembos all engineered and Mercedes in QLD and it was like 910 not 1/2 gramme or. Something or something?

And and you will you watching that episode live was and you're like oh and any. Yeah, that sounds like a bit of

like the next day we catch up and he's like, Oh yeah, I bought that. Cops, what he's like, looked

really cool. Like Rob, you know, it's a sorry

Anthony. Still waiting for responders.

Sorry, sorry. I just saw that for about 50.

Grand. My point in case.

Eventually you saw that allegedly.

Allegedly, Allegedly. Rob, what you should have done

is just rocked up with it one day.

Just be like, hey Mattie, do you remember this car?

No dude, I really see. I was like, I'm like, I can't

believe it's real. Alright, what about when I took

you for a drive in? It.

But I got the drive after you had it tuned well, didn't it?

Went well. No, that was a cracking.

Why? Yeah, that was that was awesome.

What about you? Holly would be like, dead by

probably like that. Darren Murphy was like just the

fun part to have. And yeah, lucky sprayed in a lot

of tacos and. Yes.

Really well done though in the end zone.

But yeah, because she loves that.

I do have to say I think it was the first time I actually saw you guys was at the Northern Girls meeting.

Preston and I went there with my right toes because because you guys know he was at the Super cheap in Preston and I used to work at the water in Preston and we both broke up together and has has the really nice. I still love the way that that

thing sounds like you didn't like mine.

No, because he wasn't free. But.

It didn't catch a light. We we rocked up together.

I had the M3 at the time and yeah, as we're going through times of showing off his engine and then I believe you had the Merck there and you popped the button.

Everybody just crowds around and rubs like This is why I don't bring this out and just close. OK, fair enough.

Yeah, yeah, that was a cracker, Chad.

See, you're really something new, as I said, but there's been some, but you've been a long time listener, yeah.

So favourite moment that you've had on Heard on the show?

I remember you doing a Facebook Live thing once and you were like doing shout outs and stuff. I remember, yeah, like shouting

out a friend and I had a little laugh about that with him.

And then yeah, like years later and then, you know, being part of the show. But I think, yeah, like doing

the first episode after figuring out who you were that that that was good because I was kind of like, I just kind of got to be part of it, which, which is really cool for me at least.

And you know, like sort of sharing, you know, my cars with, you know, the guys and all that. Yeah, I, I don't know, man.

It's the, yeah, that's the few. I think the record like the the

intro recordings, like you know it's not a supercar.

The Altata song and all that. Like it's it's all, it's all

good. It's all stuff stuff that's like

Stuck in my head ran. For just that.

No, I don't think it was. I didn't hear it live.

Yeah, yeah, but you probably have recording.

Well, yeah, Recently he. Listened to it cause he got the

potential out of it. Yeah.

Yeah, man, it's yeah, it's, it's all been fun.

Alright, well, if you're making robbies, merger will make that and it'll be OK. Just give me a week, give me a

week. David Prince, favourite moment

of the show. Ohio couple. 1.

We did recently with Surprised because really put the the topping ground. What powers you will power?

Power. That that was good.

What fixing that some people that maybe maybe have very high Allen Deep Singh but. I think it was.

Pretty honestly, I think we all helped each other on the.

Night we did we? Did, and it was very

enlightening what people thought they were and what other windows that married when the. The.

Thank you. That was that was like a shifts

kiss, like was like, yeah, I think the other one. 70 goes

would just be out. Yeah.

Pretty much. I didn't say we wouldn't be a

turbo. I think the other one too, that

was mainly CC, Yep, seeing seeing as ours was what opens like. No.

One, but yeah, listen to that a couple of weeks ago again.

Take take me back. Take me back.

Yeah. Hey guys, I'm coming in

tomorrow. I've got the jiggly legs and the

shingles and wait, what's the doing?

But yeah, like, I was gonna say a couple more, but but you, you.

And one of those was the Japan trip that that was, that was such a highlight. One of the best moments of my

life in general. It was awesome.

So I can't wait to get back. Can't Talk Japan 2.0 Edward

Bunting. What?

You're thinking about this view. The 1st is, you know, I met you

on a Sunday. She did, Yeah.

And Tuesday night I was on the we we talked about 45 minutes that day. We didn't waste anytime and I

loved it, you know, going through like when I'm eating.

I've looked up. Nowhere.

In the middle of the. Suburb Hadfield Ed.

Edd in. In your defence, like people do,

get stabbed there. Yeah, I.

Understand it was one time adequate for in the complex, this one, yeah. Why in the car park?

During the recording, someone was trying to burn it.

They were trying to use diesel to burn the car.

Kidding, I like. Amateurs.

Amateurs. Insurance job.

Insurance job. Like I was like we grew up

there, too. That's the sad part.

We went to school quality. Truly straight from there.

It's a straight from there, yeah.

And hashtag the area you're waiting.

Great. He hasn't said he's light.

Suddenly many rocks. James there, Yeah.

Then we go. Inside then this.

Little nondescript building. That looks like a tent.

The radio station ship is mine. And then we went in and took her

cousin. I loved it and I was like my

people. Yes.

That was one, the other one that might.

Be mentioned that. I've had a particularly funny.

Here's one of the. Questions, I asked him was what

was your first car? He goes oh, so.

It's really easy. When you go.

It was the kind of currency that run.

Remember that? No.

And it was just funny because Alfred covered, you know, I was a lot of new with you. Yeah, it's still on.

It's still on there. It's so good.

It's the best. Why on that?

Terribly. Rugby.

What a dog. That was my little and I would

watch so much of it. So to have him comment on that

specifically, hey Ed, I've got a question for you.

Going with the wheel, the deal, This thing your favourite Co.

Host. Out of the three that they've

got is in, there was AIDS, who's Elvis and EDS and then Elvis Who's your favourite each other? You're serious.

Probably anticipated personality also, Yeah, right.

It was awesome. The problem that I had with

people is you just explain things that a little bit too much. Well, that's all.

That's part of the show. That's all she's in.

My believe that's the. That's the reason.

Probably you know, like is very detailed.

Behind the show like I said like that was yeah, I think that's the reason that he got told I liked when entered at the Mars cause he explained it but then it was short explanations and then he just do the work and then he just happened to work on an M3. So yeah, also like, you know,

you know to avoid evenings that simulation and gets it.

And says Benz Club magazine within the post.

And we had a little segment for a while, yeah.

South Park. How to guess it was like better.

You know what though? Like even though we had quite

literally having nothing to do during COVID that like you know it still doing this studio that was yeah yeah anything come up dates. Yeah, well, I I looked at it,

actually. That was my favourite thing

about the the carpets with Scotty every time you'd ask him.

Well, what's changed? Yes, a hold time of.

Just. Nothing happening.

Sitting there, especially the 31, they're like, oh, we don't have 31. It's just awesome.

That would be like moving on, let's move on.

Me, mine, obviously mine as well.

But we've had so many good people on the show over the times that we've got to talk to people from, you know, overhauling, which was the they're not searching it up.

I don't know what you're talking about.

That's right, bud, wasn't it? Plus the top.

Yes, he was pretty cool to chat to actually.

Um so that was that was good. I think that was was it was me,

you. And I think he's like D as in

luck with Ed, yeah. They did, actually.

I I put back, you said. So sad he's lost it.

Brilliant. And then we had.

You crying over there? Then we had re driven.

We started out his YouTube. I guess he's too famous now for

us. So don't hear from me man,

anymore. Yes, I did see that.

Yeah, he does. David's on the show.

Let's. Podcast.

And then I was thinking earlier, back before I was the golf tip of the week, I was the all snitch on anything to do on anything to do with your Merc. Usually something was broken.

So somebody. So I kind of find out beforehand

if there's anything with his work.

I might talk to someone else. I'll try and find out Go I have

these Merc going, I might find a little bit of Goss.

And then, before the show finishes, I quickly chimed in.

And go Maddie, how's the Merc? And then he's got, yeah, I go,

no, it's not fine. I've heard.

Something. I did also, wait, you're like,

so, so, so, Edward, I'd like you to know.

Yeah, I passed on everyone else. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, there's always. Something that always fun.

I still love doing that. Yeah they were good.

So Scott is typically Scottish singers were were were were were too highlighted of the chain. Patrick what are you in what

would be your numerous functions with advancing would it be your would it be your constant raging as 15 rolling show prices at 50 grand I just raging about the Hot Wheels cars you wanted the yes the Toronto wasn't it wasn't what's.

Wrong. Hi.

I I I hi. People reselling them for.

This you guys stole them from the back of there.

Was 110%. Right for that one. 60.

Bucks for a car and everything in the room with the people that bought all before they No, I'm. I'm there with you, Pat. 60

bucks for a car was ridiculous. Yeah, so.

And the Monaro. Don't forget the Monaro.

Someone get him as a thing. Now yeah, but there are $130.00

on eBay. Exactly what point?

Why look so? Actually that I went to the the

car show that was an exhibition centre and they had the guys that were so hot was there. They had the Torana then my

dad's been looking for. I've been trying to find one at

a good price, 8 dollars $50 we just like.

It's a joke, man. Especially like it's like mass

produced, you know, It's not like it's a limited edition.

There were tonnes of them released, right?

It's just people going boarding. And I'm, I'm a part of the Hot

Wheels Australia Facebook page. Yeah.

Yeah. And this order, I swear.

Straight from Target. I swear.

I remember I was doing that when I was looking for the Tarana.

This guy. Yes.

And he's like, no, no, I can't Like, I guess I'm hung like a grown ass, man. Fucking like. 60.

Hours. Let me have one man but.

And here we are growing. Up we know it was actually.

Money but. See, to me it was one of the

mini JTS or like the actual real good quality ones.

They're asking 50 bucks. Models are so high quality it's

not funny but for little Hot Wheels.

Mets got a stash of father. Yeah, really Personally.

So I thought it started Gemini back there.

One second. There is one.

There is a Gemini out there. Sorry, Pat.

No, no, you're good. No, sorry.

As you all know, I tend to get pretty, pretty passionate.

You know, you're very, very passionate, especially when it comes to Hot Wheels and especially Sylvia's.

So what's your thoughts on the R35 being the supercar?

Look. We'll we'll leave that from

episode 600 but probably the there's many highlights probably two of them are stuck at which the first ones was forgot what day it was one of those cruises Matt plans out.

Remember I hopped in with Nissan AWD 11, which was sick, and we ended up meeting a guy with a Viper, which is pretty cool.

Which? Ended up breaking down.

Yeah, that's. What the weirdo makeup Apple.

Yeah, it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The other 195, yeah, they will drive no big old V10, no that that that was your day birthday card.

That was your birthday? Yeah, that's why I got it.

Where did you go? You left.

We might stay by what you friend you are.

Real friends by real friends. Real friends, right?

Here behaviour roll up a joint often, but we see so yeah that was. Eligible.

Allegedly. Allegedly, Allegedly.

But probably one of the biggest highlights which I'm not getting home tonight but definitely part of the biggest highlight which I'm pretty sure everyone yelled could probably agree with this I until this day, I don't know what it was.

It's probably something stupid knowing us, but we're doing all I remember we're doing a quiz, one of Maddie's quizzes.

Quizzes. So.

Defendable. And it was obviously a battle

between me and Ed and for the first time that my wife was actually winning something and and they were like Eric got also I mean I've got an answer right on something but then as came like OHB I've got I'll add something up And then Maddie gave him a bonus point which meant he just just banned me and I got so. I.

Remember that? So salty.

Look, I remember every time with the quiz, it would always complain. Every time that he wouldn't get

the the answer. He wouldn't.

He wouldn't get the point and he's just.

Like I said that. And I just remember like, look.

And I'm very a calm, happy, loving person, but I really don't know what came over me that night.

When I looked at it, I just saw a red.

Man. But.

Say it's not going home tonight. No game takes a lot, but yeah,

that's that's pretty much it. Hi guys question we have an

officer here he he can walk you to your car.

Yeah. And lucky loss is Mr I'd say

I've also got probably too many good moments to count, You know, I've been here quite a while. I would say too long, but.

Like I said. I'm getting a few percent, 51%.

I'll make sure no matter what happens, Alan, we actually like you. I appreciate that.

Yeah, it's nothing like I like formatting here.

Pulley we've we've mentioned the the rights.

I think they'll definitely want highlights the rights to the planned parent, which I won. Could it be that Scotty the best

driver in the crew, thank you very much with the best car, the Subaru thank you. So you know, it's hard to beat

one of our very first comments. I think that's where I first met

Rob. You came in your older.

Mothers staying here? You're gone.

And it was pretty solid meat, like there were too many of us at the time. Yeah, I think we had your cousin

Patrick as well. Yeah.

And there was we were actually came out and could have blocked those shooting. Shooting.

Yeah, that's right. It was across the road, across

the. Road Are you sure it wasn't a

golfer popping back? No, I don't know what I did.

That's what we thought it was. It was cancelled Super Kmart.

And you're like, Oh yeah, this will be, you know, somebody getting VW again. And anyway, so.

So we just have like a Bab and we get home.

I think you sent me a message. I think it was you.

So James and Patrick brothers, James was still hanging out with us while we were, you know, to look at the car.

Patrick had, I guess gone off somewhere and he runs back and there's been a shooting at the game, Hazel puffed out.

Like you doing. You just see Brady.

Back with the gun. Can you hold this for a second?

Maddie allegedly just happened to get something.

But that was. Definitely some you know again

meeting new people that you know who took today, which is great.

Our our classic not classic view panel, Classic not spend the first one going to Arthur C Place I had never been.

Like I said, it's thanks to our customer trends that have Integer Long. I just, it's all thanks to this,

you know, troubled man. You've been to Canada and New

Zealand, obviously, Japan, India, Australia.

Yet you've lived. You've lived in Melbourne, not.

Too far? Not.

That, but he's like now we got the Japanese like, so it was quite nice. So, like, yeah, we got down the

Great Ocean Road. Yes, so, like, I've I've gone

too long. But in transit I've never gone

too long. Like, let's hang it in your

long. So actually I wanna say the only

time I've been to Geelong where I've actually stopped in there was to go pick up the M3. So the three just got back on

the road. I was at.

Work, mind you, minding my own business at work and I get a call from my dad and he's like, I, what are you doing?

And I'm like, I'm just about to finish work.

He's like, I know you got the, can you go home and pick up the X5, please? I'm like, why is that?

It's like, can you grab a trailer and what have you done?

And he just takes a picture of the M3 on the side of the road and call them pissing down the road And I'm like, why are you in my car? Was this before?

After you got the plates? Flights.

OK. Because people.

Were going past and they look at the place like.

I get it. So then I have to drive all the

way down to Delong with the trailer to pick up my car that I wasn't driving. At least you get shot.

So you know is did the lovely people do you love?

Love Geelong. Love.

You. Just make sure you avoid cry.

That's a bit long my sister lives in.

Norway is I like sister, my daughter Frankston of Geelong.

Actually, I've been to prison before and I didn't get stunned.

You might be the first. We went there long enough.

He was the one doing stabbing. My inner crazy Bird was coming

out. So.

So yeah, you're you're you were Geelong Virgin.

You were no longer what are the what other thing?

Oh yeah, just like because we ended up going to that second hand shop Jilong. Quite a few pieces there.

A good time. And then for the other, the

original classic Rush fan, we went to a little car museum and David negotiated us a discounted rate.

Nothing like seeing using cheaper than you should.

Also Little Picnic and Everything.

Else. So it's just been a great

experience overall. There's been plenty of fun

times. Pretty sure.

Could one of you here are professional Idiot?

Bill, why did you look at me then?

Statistically speaking, you know, I don't like assumptions that, you know, there was one we went to on Maddie's special Rd OHE. Yes, that just seems not good.

Very special. It was pretty fun.

Not for you guys in your time are other are over Patrick.

But you gotta. You crawled out.

Kissing the ground, Harry. So he was on the side of the

cross. He was like Ohgi made it well.

So we're we're battling down this road and he's in the highlights. So keep so keep in mind this was

yeah, so many special Rd, which is a fantastic Rd.

That's. But so always, obviously in my

2006 SSR Hilux toys that have been bold for God knows how long originally. Allegedly.

Allegedly, Allegedly. Allegedly.

Hang on, let me get rid of the wire.

I said no weight in the back, which is, you know, always fun.

No ABS. Clutch was on its way out.

Andrew was making weird noises. My GL was doing funny things and

while these people were doing recently.

Purchased from Atrium by the way, wasn't it?

Sorry. Mate, I have to test the first,

that's why I was working. Never.

Lesson learned, don't buy car from Truganina.

But while all these, you know, other people, you know, we're doing, you know, allegedly 10 times the speed of sound.

At least that's. What the normal speaking because

their cars actually work. Yeah, that's.

True. Thank you.

I remember, I remember coming like it was like a bit of straight right on island. Let's stretch this puppy leg.

Probably got to like 100K and then on the line on my allegedly I'm like Oh yeah this is climbing climbing, climbing a bit longer and then this corner comes out of nowhere.

I never I never once in my head I falls having a full conversation with you. Skype.

I slammed on the brakes not think forgetting that I have no ABS. Did things locked up and I just

remember the whole thing, this crowd walking towards the thing and I felt like, you know, that scene, Tokyo Drift and I was unsure was smashing against the pillar going up, but that ball.

With mine Elisa. Yeah, but yeah, it was the

scariest thing. I was so jittery.

I like, Mary said. As soon as they're probably

waiting a good men or two, I come down, I get off.

Lift the handbrake up. Shut it.

Off I get down on the floor hitting the ground, so.

Patrick Ryan, so appreciative of the fact that he walked brown pants that day. It's funny that you said that.

It's funny because he was on the ground like studio back then.

He's like he's like yeah you guys go on ahead and and so we did like 10 minutes. We just see you coming out of

the corners like it's so it's it's funny that he says that because I actually had a moment like that in the in three.

That's a that's a sports catch, a sports car.

Yeah. So we went up a mountain.

I'm not gonna say where it is because I believe I've already told you that in this story. But we get to the top of said

mountain and we get a call from one of our friends and says, hey, the guy that I'm here with, one of our mates who's not very smart, is the only way to put it politely.

He decided to go mountain bike riding and fell off his bike and he's gone to hospital and we're just like what we're off about in here. What do you mean?

It's like just come down. Now he's going to hospital and

I'm like, alright, so we're keeping this mountain and Long story short, I'm banging it down this mountain in the M3, which I'd never change the brake fluid on.

So I'm getting towards the bottom of this mountain and I'm going pretty fast into this corner and Yep, I had that breaks the pedal session floors on the floor and I'm like, so I don't care right now I'm going off this hill and it was pretty, have no idea if I was gonna make it.

So I'm like screw it, Chuck it down and you're through the car.

And as hard as I possibly can my tyres are screeching my making, even the car behind. Just like, what's he doing?

What are you doing? And then I just managed to make

it get to the bottom of the hill, did the same thing, pulled out of the car, and I went. Shopping in that car.

Again, I'm out. I'm done.

That's it all over. Yo, yo.

And then I realised off that, right?

Yeah, you think I would have learned, but I didn't learn.

The best modern cars have tyres and brakes not working that well. But you know the white discount

We went forward driving and that downhills, no breaks, no brakes by the end of it. Yeah, I tend to have similar

don't change my foods there's usually a true yeah trust me so so I'm assuming in in in the M3 the quickly yeah, I'd say it's perfect. I actually didn't just change

the brake fluid. I now have F80M3 Colour Persona,

so it's like the second person. Those are quite small.

Yeah. Surprising.

I think they four parts, yeah, but they're very small.

These ones are 380 mode discs. Is it good until you go and try

to find a good set of wheels for them, yeah, you can only fit nineteens and that's it. So you won't call.

These are really great, yeah, yeah, but yes, no, I had, I had the same issue as he did and I appreciate what he's saying cause I understand but. It's nice.

It's not a fun thing to go through, man.

That's pretty. It's pretty.

I'm still scared till this day. I attended therapy Report man.

I'm at the point now, I'm sorry about that.

I can't passenger in like when it goes in cars going up or down hills, and at the same time I cannot go to Mount Gambier ever again. Yeah, that is for a different

story. Yeah.

But yes, I have PTSD from that trip.

It'll get well guys, I love all those, all those examples.

There's, there's been some, there's been some really, really, you know, fun for episodes and just view topics and view quizzes and and Scottish golf tips and robs, fibre game and all sorts of stuff along for the last eight years. Merchant buyer, merchant buyer
