The road to better driving

There's a professional. Radio.

This front wheel drive. Have you got anyone you want to

thank? Just myself.

And now I do the after hours, gentlemen.

What would you go for? They see us in there, OK, And

because it's not a super duck, it is.

It's not automatic. Perfection comes in the form of

two letters A&U. Long live my Ltd.

Welcome to Car Talk. It's choosing out here in 98.9

NW FM. It's me, Maddie J on line with

Mr Edward Bunting, Mr Scotty Doe Johnson and in studio with the one and early Chad. How you doing man?

Hello. Why doesn't Chad get a surname?

How do you? Pronounce your surname.

That's probably the reason why I haven't asked properly.

It's Dabal DABA. L Chad Dabal.

There you go. All right.

DABA, Double L. Just L single L.

Just DABAL, Dabal. I just don't want to butcher it

like, you know, because I, I you.

Wouldn't have butchered it. I I get kids all the time that

that, you know, like I had, I had.

This at names. Yeah, well, I had this one kid

and she, her name, her name's Maeve, right?

It's Maeve. Correct.

Yeah and I called him Meeve and she corrected him once and then and she's and I got to like 3 weeks in, I'm still calling him Meeve and she's like, it's Maeve so and I'm like I felt so bad.

Does. And I'm like, yeah, but then,

but then I also had another kid that I was calling the wrong name for like a whole semester. This is like last, this is

probably two years ago. And and he was like, to me, I'm

like, so your name's actually not.

This was some other complete name.

He's like, there's like, no, my name's this.

I'm like, why didn't you? Why didn't you correct me?

I think that too. Oh, I'm like, why don't you

correct me? He's like, he's like, because

it's on the roll. It's technically one of like a

part of my name, but it's not what my name actually is.

And I'm like, well, why is it on the roll?

Like, yeah, because, because everyone like the reason I figured out was when one kids like, oh, you know, ask whatever his name was. And I'm like, like, who the hell

is that? They're like, oh, I'm like, no,

that's that's, you know, so and so he's like, no, it's not.

You'd be calling him the wrong name for a semester.

So then I went up to him and I'm like, I'm like, what is this your actually? He's like, he's like, no, this

is my name here. I'm like, Oh my God, like what

have I done for the last? Quite literally, it was the last

week before exams of the semester.

So you get 10 kid. I'm like, this is one of the

most. This is one of those moments in

life where you, you need to really, you know, reconsider your teaching career and that. And that was that was it for me.

It's hard to get all those names right, though.

There's a lot of them. Absolutely, a lot of them.

When I was at uni, slight sidetrack, I sat next to this guy in one of my classes for, I don't know, six months maybe I remember his name, but he was he always called me Charlie.

And he's like, hey, Charlie, what's up?

Hey, how you going, Charlie? You know, nice day today,

Charlie. You know, so cool car on the

weekend Charlie. Like this was this went on for

six. Months and I'm just like, hey.

Hey, doing blah, blah, like, you know, that's I just thought it was like a nice little pet name and like a little nickname he had for me, you know, whatever. And then one day he's sitting

next to me and and my book had Edward written on the front and he goes, why is your why is your book got Edward on it?

I go, what do you mean? He goes, well, you know, you're

Charlie and I'm like my name and he goes.

What the fuck? Like you, he.

Genuinely got it wrong for six months.

That's actually quite funny. So you're gonna be you're gonna

be now known as as Edward Charlie.

Well, I've. Told that story to other people.

There are certain people that still call me Charlie because of that story. Well, I had this to be, to be

fair, I was, I was kind of put in something.

And you know, when you, you know, in those moments when you put in, in, in a, in a situation where you just have to play, play along, you ever, you ever had one of those moments?

Yeah. So for example, it was year

seven. I remember this.

I remember like it was yesterday year 7 camp and you know, on year 7 camp, like your second or third week into, into, into school lately. They sent us, they sent us all

the way to camp. And we, you know, we were there

And, and one of those, one of the guys I, I was on camp with was a guy I played, play cricket with Alex.

And I've known Alex for, at this point, yeah, 6-7 years.

Anyway, we're in, we're in yourself in camp together because we're from two different schools, but we played cricket together as juniors and went all the way up.

And anyway, I remember I was on the tennis courts and this is the first night there and, and Alex comes up and he's like, oh, I'd like you to meet Anthony. I'm like, hey, Anthony, how you

doing? He's like, oh, yeah, good.

And then Alex is like, oh, this is, this is Shell.

Like they're putting me out and I'm looking at him and he's kind of doing the whole play. Like I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm yeah, nice to meet.

He's like Shell. He's like, he's like who names

his son Shell and I, and I'm like, and I'm like, well, it's a funny story. You know, my mom didn't make it

to the to, to the delivery room and she had to put over into a Shell service station. So they called me Shell.

So I, I quite literally made that up on the on the on the fly. And he believed me right up

until end of year 11. When when my my school selected

me for like school captain to to to like to get voted in and I went up and did a speech and like, oh, hi, I'm I'm you know, Matthew Janina. And I didn't actually didn't

want didn't want to do it. And he comes up, he's like, he's

like, you prick. I called you shell for like 5

years at at school. And so I was noted Shelley and

and he's like, what are you doing?

He's like, well, I kind of felt like I was in the in the thing.

I just went along with it like, yeah, it's just.

It's very quick thinking to come up with a back story like that.

I wonder what else comes with what shell.

I've got a shell on the beach and that was like I.

That's weird, I don't know why your friend did that to you.

I like to call you shells from the start.

Because I, I actually haven't seen Alex in a while, but like, I do bump into him here and there and it helps Like what?

That's funny. What made you say that?

But anyway, he's, yeah, he's, he's a funny character of it.

But yeah, I, I, I guess that's probably, that's probably my getting the students real names wrong all these years later is probably my, my, my call my for calling myself shelter to one kid, one kid in particular for five years.

You said you had an example of that, Scotty.

Yeah, mine was like an example of tomato, tomato.

So it's just the how you pronounced it.

So the whole time, just calling this student Anaya for a long time, and then just out of nowhere, just one of the students go, you know, what's Anaya?

No, it's not. Not anymore.

And everything. And I went over to her and asked

her. She goes, yeah, Anaya, just tell

me, tell me mark the role calling you by this wrong name and talking to your parents as well with this wrong name.

And they didn't correct me either.

Honestly, I love it when the kids actually get a bit pissed off with me and tell me how to say it properly.

Like, I got this one this one year, right?

She's a bit spunky. Like she's you know, you know,

like she's she's got a bit of like don't mess with me kind of attitude. Yeah, nice kid.

And her name's Yola with a with AJ, But I called her Jolla for like the first like, like like for the first two weeks.

And she's like, Sir, it's Yola. Why?

But it but it's it's it's a the J silent.

I'm like, but then it's just Ola.

She's like, no, it's, it's, it's, you know, it's.

It's Spanish or something. No, no, it's it's actually I

think it's Croatian, I think actually.

Oh, OK. OK, so I didn't forget after

that, after she, and this is during roll call too.

Like I'm getting mad. I'm like Johnny the Jolla.

It's Yola. You know you should put it right

at the end of the roll then because it starts with the Y.

You know, put it blast. We'll put her at the end and go

Jolla. Well, my name's not, I mean, it

is Chad as you go go by Chad, but I mean, my, my government name is Chad Ash, which when you write it down, it's really hard to pronounce. Like everyone but everyone

butchers it, which is really. Yeah, JDOSH.

What's that? Is it Chaddosh?

No CAGDAS, which is like you, when you look at it, it's like you would never say it like that.

It's like Caddos, right? Yeah, and I got that all through

high school and I got there all he does, every single teacher I had. And at one point I just had to

be like, yeah, it is what it is. Like I'm just, I'm just not ever

going to correct them because I'd be here all day, you know?

So I just, I was like, yeah, that is that's what it just respond to anything that sounds close to remote, close to it.

Well, here's the thing. Like, you know, I'm I feel kind

of blessed that I had a name that.

Oh, Matt, it's easy. Like, yeah.

And like but now take. It for granted I would say.

Correct. It's like, you know, seeing kids

like, like I, I teach her to, you know, I mean, you've got a Turkish background. Yeah, lots of kids with Turkish

names and like the seasons. I feel like what the hell is

this? Yeah, it's, it's full, but I've

kind of picked it up now like. Yeah, yeah, there you.

Go like, like Jaylen is like, we're sort of the sea, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not Ceylon.

Yeah. So, you know, I've got that and

I've got a few, I've got a few. There's a few other ones with

like G's and C's and yeah, yeah, Jim is, you know, like it's C but this with AG that's. Not Cam, Yeah.

So, so yeah, I, I teach you a few of that.

I actually worked with a few of that and I think that helped.

Super cheap. Because Oh yeah, like that.

Yeah. Nice.

The yeah, it's funny, like when I when I went in for one of my first years, I said I said a name and I said it properly.

And the kid was like, you're the only teacher to say my name.

Yeah. So it's obviously that was, that

was that was pretty good fit. We should talk about cars.

Probably. It is a car show.

After. All not name talk.

It, it's it's name talk with, with, with funny joke.

Edward Bunting. You've been the man of leisure

or leisure or yeah, yeah, you've been off in the in spaghetti land as as my Italian friend likes to call it.

It's listening, and you got to do one of those as well, you know, during. Yeah.

I did go to spaghetti land for of my trip, yes.

All right, so tell us about your trip.

You you you buzzed in for like 2 minutes at one point.

I did buzz in when I was in Berlin, I think for two minutes.

So started in the South of France for a few days, then went up to Berlin for a few days and then was in Tuscany for a few days. So 3 distinctly different

places. Yeah, I've been thinking about

this. So, you know, I want crap on for

hours, but you know the you do sort of take an active interest in what cars are around in these different locations.

Yeah, so. South of France, very patriotic

in France, you know, there's a lot of Peugeots and a lot of Citrones and a lot of Renaults. So things like the little

Renault Clio that our friend Tommy had, you know, the Clio 172 or 182, yeah, even the base versions of that car, they are everywhere. You know, like, like we would

see Corollas or Hyundai Getzas. You know, they have got Clio's

and plenty of Peugeot's. You know, it's, it's sort of

almost rare to see a Peugeot here in a new car.

They just don't sell that many. You know, they've got a little

bit of a following, but they're not crazy.

They're not crazy popular in Australia, but over there, nothing. But, you know, like you, you,

you don't see that many mercs and Audis and really not really not that. I mean, you do see them, but not

that many that the majority is French.

So I mean, it makes sense. They're they're patriotic.

They they buy their own products and it's what they're used to.

And yeah, it's just, it's just funny landing there and going whoa, oh, if you know, and in in Italy, Fiat Pandas everywhere.

I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a Fiat Panda here, but in Italy that every second third car is a is a Panda.

Is that, well, I mean, obviously they're made there and everything and that's probably, they're probably cheaper there, you know, to produce and, and the like.

But do you, do you think that people would just prefer driving there? You know, like, do you think

that they they are that patriotic that behind their behind their product? Yeah, I think so.

I think it, I mean, it's sort of you buy what you can see, I suppose, you know, and that's if that's in front of you all the time and they're made there and they are a bit cheaper.

Yeah, sure. Maybe even, you know, they suit

the smaller roads of Europe, I suppose.

So then then you go from France, where there's yeah, obviously a lot of French cars to Berlin. Berlin is interesting.

There's Berlin's got this kind of, you know, cool hipster vibe to the whole place. I saw more W124 Mercedes Benzes

in Berlin than I than I have ever seen.

And I'm talking coops, waggons, sedans, not so much convertibles, but everything else.

And these are just parked on the street.

You know, these are cars that are being used.

They're not collectibles sort of in cotton hole.

That's a E30 BMWs, a lot of a lot of sort of 80s stuff, you know, not so much 70s, but 80s, nineties, absolutely in the Benz world. And they're they're still semi

good, like they look all right, like they.

Some of them are a bit rough. Some of them looked all right,

but they were out there parked around neighbourhoods.

You know, I just went 0124. I want to end the baby bins like

my 190. A lot of baby bins is over

there. So the the Berlinians or however

you say that they're sort of they're, they're into an old, an old German classic a bit over there, a lot of that.

Did you? I was going to ask you the

question. I know this is going to be

associated. Did you sing from Paris to

Berlin? When you when you when you went

to France to. No, I did not.

Edward, you had one song, mate, One song to do.

Come on. I didn't.

The other thing I did that was a bit car related in Berlin was I went to, there's a place called Classic Remese, which is, I don't know what Remese means. It might mean restoration or

something, but it's basically a giant warehouse slightly out in the suburbs. And within the giant warehouse

are all these mini warehouses that are brand specific where they restore and work on that brand.

So you've got a Mercedes specialist with like 3 pagodas in there, you've got an Italian specialist with alphas in there, you've got a a French specialist with Citroen DSS and stuff.

So I thought that was quite a good idea to have all these, all these classic mark specialists and they're kind of all under one roof. And of course there's insurance

brokers in there as well for classic cars and there's sales for classic cars. So I was walking around you,

anyone can walk in off the street and I'm like, oh, there's a pagoda for sale, there's a Volkswagen Beetle for sale, There's a BMW5O7, you know, convertible for sale.

It always frankly had that's probably a multi $1,000,000 car, you know, and you're just walking around all these things and no one sort of harassed me or whatever.

And it was just, it was a classic car sort of Mecca.

That's actually a good idea. And we don't really do that in

Australia or no one set that up. But none of these individual

workshops were particularly big. But you know, they might have

had 6789 cars sort of scattered in and out, in and around them.

But I sort of went, yeah, that that makes sense.

People come there to buy, they come there to talk to the mechanic, they get their car serviced, etc.

So just like I said, this is like a big kind of warehouse with all giant. Warehouse.

Or a share space with. Mini warehouses within it.

That's yeah, it was very cool. I've got some videos of what I

can show you, but that was a cool idea.

On the same day I did that, I was on a Lime scooter and you know Lime scooters are exactly the same as here.

You just scoot everywhere. Not.

Anywhere. Not anywhere, Edward.

Oh, no, no, they're only outside the DVD.

They're they're still around, they're just not in the CBD.

So I, I used the same app I use at home for Lime scooter and scanned the scooter and off I went.

So it was, it was great work exactly the same way.

So I scooted around to three different model car shops and they've got some big model shops over there.

So one of them was more into collectible second handy stuff.

The second one was closed and they're only do online.

He goes no looking, no looking. Come on, look at the cars.

No looking. Are you serious?

I'm like, it's like going to newsagents and trying to read the magazines. No, no reading.

Yeah, no reading. And then the.

He's the he's instead of the soup Nazi.

He's the, he's the the model car.

Yeah. The Car Nazi.

In Germany. Knock after, you'll come back

one year and the third one was a model railway shop on 1/2 and then a massive model car shop on the other half.

So they kind of did everything, but they weren't secondhand, you know, they were more new. So I bought a couple of little

models at that first second handy shop and they were very friendly. And yeah, it was just good to

see because you see stuff that you don't see over here so readily. Some stuff was the same, like

there was some Matchbox, Lesney Dinky Corgi sort of stuff that I'm like, Oh yeah, I've got that one or I've got that one.

And, you know, obviously these things were sold worldwide, most of them. But so yeah, I enjoyed my day

scooting around doing car things.

And then we went down to Tuscany, obviously, and sort of, you know, regional Italy, spaghetti land and.

A. Lot of Fiat pandas.

As I said, lot of. Lot.

Yeah, a lot of fiats in general are.

We talking modern pandas or like old pandas, Yeah.

Yeah, both, both you you still see Fiat 5 hundreds, the old 60s ones being as normal cars. Like.

Not heaps, but I I saw five or six of them and they were.

Some of them were more beautiful than others, but there were certainly people using them as everyday transport.

That's. Sick.

And there's a 1980s Fiat 500 that was sort of a really square, boxy little version of of the original 500, you know, very 80s. A lot of those around, you know,

just just cheap transport. They're worth €1000, you know,

people just zipping around in them.

So they, I was surprised actually at the number in, in Europe in general of, of older cars.

There are older cars around. So yeah, I didn't.

What you don't see is dual cab utes you know, like Hiluxes and ranges that are our absolute bread and butter.

I saw one or two, you know, you just don't see them.

You know, the whole, I said this when we went to Japan, Matt, like the whole country in Japan runs on K trucks and KK mini K vans. Yeah, You know, Europe really

runs on sort of littler vans and hatchbacks and things.

They're, they're just aren't those massive utes in the same way that that we have. And the roads are narrow,

they're twisty. They're, you know, the little

village we stayed in, You don't want a big car.

We had a Peugeot waggon, rent a car like a three O 8 waggon, which was fine. But even that was reasonably

large compared to a lot of the stuff people zip around in.

And I was dreaming in the Tuscan hills.

I thought, oh, could I buy a farmhouse in Tuscany?

And what else would I have? And I decided that I'd have two

cars. I'd bring the mocha over on a on

a boat and I'd have my mocha there because it would it would suit the, the twisty roads of Tuscany.

And then I'd have a Jimmy because there's a few muddy paddocks and things around. It's nice and narrow,

economical, be good on those twisty little roads.

And I thought, yeah, Jimmy and a moke.

Yep, that'd do me. I'd just read books and sit in

the sun otherwise. Jimmy and a Moke.

Jimmy and a Moke. Yep, all 2 car solution.

The only other thing I did that was a bit Carrie was one day from the South of France, we drove to Monaco, which is only 40 minutes from where we were staying.

And you know, you see that the Monaco Bay that's very famous of with all the billion dollar yachts and the apartments and everything. So that that's quite, it's quite

surreal to sort of look at that and go, this place is nuts.

Like it's just sort of it's so concentrated in that one.

Yes, there's houses around it, but it's really quite insane.

And the yachts are all packed in, you know.

Next to each other, you're like, I wouldn't want to be trying to park one of those things and not the one next door.

But the cars in Monaco, you know, Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys, Range Rovers, you name it, if it's worth money, it's in Monaco. And these are driven as everyday

cars. These are not, you know, weekend

warriors. Like I, I think I counted 7 or 8

Ferraris and I was only there for a day.

You know, these are just parked outside people's houses, driving down the street. This isn't like a Ferrari show

and everyone's driving home. This is, this is what you drive.

So that was funny. And we went to the casino in

Monaco. It's sort of dusk.

We just had some drinks at the bar and the casinos, you know, the who's who parked out the front, you know, valet parked.

And I've been told by other people that they valet parked the best cars out the front. And then if something better

comes in, they'll put yours in the underground car park and replace it out the front with something better.

But everyone files in because that, that, that Piazza is quite big and there's, there's restaurants all around it.

There's sort of the top end restaurants.

So people of an evening will file in, in their, in their glamorous cars to go and have dinner.

And so you just stand there and watch the parade of cars coming in. So 9 elevens and GT threes and

Bentleys and roses and you know, all the glamorous things coming in. And I was, I was actually

sitting there watching it all going.

I'm so desensitised almost to these really expensive cars.

I thought what would actually get attention here and I I did think the Moke would actually moke.

Yeah. Moke would get attention and I

thought the scamp maybe because the scamp is in really nice or mine's in, you know, very shiny condition and everything.

It looks glamorous, but no one would know what the hell it is.

You know, it would it would zip in as a little Ying Ying, Ying Ying Classic. And I thought that would turn

some heads when when 8 Ferraris are kind of you're a bit over it. So that was my that was my,

yeah, my little car foray into those three places.

But overall, surprised at how many older cars were still on the road. See, that actually surprised me.

Like I, I didn't expect, I knew the friends were quite patriotic about their stuff, but with the Italian stuff, like I didn't expect much of the older stuff to still be driven like that because. Don't get me wrong, there's

obviously a lot of modern stuff. There's, you know, small

hatchbacks, you know, these cars are not, these cars are not sort of, they're just not big in the way that Australians have.

Massive big utes that really like a Peugeot, simple Peugeot hatch would be an average family car and stuff like that.

Yeah, see. So, so Australia, you don't need

a dual cab you you just don't need it you.

Really. You Really?

Don't hatchback would be happy, would be happy you.

Really don't. There was one guy in this little

village in Italy we stayed in who had a a range of wild track or something and he was sort of pulled over on the side of the road and I just thought I would not drive those in these parts.

It's just it really is narrow, you know, the and your cars are having to pull over to let other cars go past just just to get through the village. It's yeah, you just wouldn't

want it. You wouldn't want it.

A dual cab youth there would be a pain in the ass.

So yeah, that's my my car for interior 01 thing I did buy at a we went to Florence for the day and I went to a you know, I like a trash and treasure market. We know.

Oh yeah, craft market? No Sir.

E Trash and treasure market? Yes, please.

So we go to this trash and treasure market and I found a poster with all these symbols on it like dashboard warning symbols like low oil, local headlights on whatever.

But it's in Italian. It says at the top something

like symboli something, something the, the severity of symbols for cars. And then it's got all the

symbols, but it's all in Italian.

And I thought that's funny because all these warning lights will be coming up a lot in Italian cars.

And it was from a driving school.

So they teach you, you know, what are these symbols mean?

Yeah, yeah. You better know these.

It's an old poster from probably the 60s or 70s.

And I thought that was interesting in itself because at driving schools here, they don't teach you anything about the car warning lights or unless you learn that from your parents or someone else around you, you know, what does that red light mean? Oh, I just thought the light was

broken. So I kept driving.

You know, you hear that so much and people blowing up engines and no coolant and overheating. And you know, but over there,

it's obviously part of the education is hey, you see this symbol which is a universal symbol for low oil.

You know we all 100% that looks like you know you stop and pull over or you'll. Usually if a red light's being

like you, like crazy on the dash, but it's not a good sign.

No, no, correct. And you know, the very fact that

it's red means, hey, this is this is urgent.

If it's orange or green or yellow, all right, it's not so horrific. So I bought this poster that

was, you know, reasonably big at at this flea market and it was in a frame and I said to the guy, you know, I don't I don't need the frame. He couldn't under really

understand that. So so I sort of pointed and

said, don't this, you know, not frame, not frame.

You know, anyway, we got we got the message across there you.

You don't like a deal or no deal?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I bought it in a in

in a sort of tube roll thing. And anyway, so I carried that

with me on a few flights to to bring it home, which is cool.

I'll get that framed. And yeah, I thought that's just

a little memento, you know? That's cool.

It's interesting that it's from the 60s and it's got.

I reckon 60s or 70s maybe, yeah. I mean it might be 80s, who

knows. Italy is weird like that.

But I would guess probably 60s or 70s.

That's. Cool, but I might be what you.

Should do Edward. You should take a photo of it

and put it like a reverse Google search and see what comes up.

It might give you some information about it.

Yeah, yeah, I will. I'll see if I can find that out.

So yes, that was fun. But that's about it in terms of

cars overseas on on that particular trip anyway, I.

Want to come back to that, that topic of, of, you know, education and, and stuff and what, what we should do, because I, I always said, I think for a test, you should, you should be made change a tyre, you should be made do things like that.

But we'll, we'll, we'll circle back that after everyone's car updates. Scotty Doe big updates with you,

mate. You you had a win on the

weekend. Finally, a bit of a win.

Finally, after what? How many weeks stuck on this, on

this, on this Speaker Bush? I reckon it's been a few weeks

but I'd say I've been on it for at least like 3 full days.

Dad had a crack at it too and he used that the the actual proper tool as well and actually broke the arm on it.

Not that. And finally I had some other

ideas I thought I'd try. Some people have tried welding,

welding a nut onto there or a bolt onto it and using his leverage. I can't Weld to save myself.

I couldn't get it to, I can't believe how hard welding is.

That's it for people. It just kept sticking.

I couldn't get it to Weld properly.

So and then I get it on and I thought, Oh yeah, that's good.

But I didn't Weld it on properly so it would just come straight off. And then I finally saw a video

where they used a a Dyna bolt and luckily at dad's work they had a really big one, like big fat 20 mil one that went in there perfectly, had it that tightened and everything it was in there wasn't going to go anywhere.

And I went around on Sunday, I was going to try and get it off, tried a couple different things. That was had this big aluminium

block just so we didn't harm anything on the back there.

So it was a bit more because it's a softer metal.

Put that up there in between it. We had a piece of wood as well

and used a bit of leverage. And I was on the other side and

I just started hammering. Bang, bang, bang.

I'm like, is it even doing anything?

Dad's like yes, yes. It is like, Oh my God, finally

smash, smash finally came out. It's a pretty thick Bush wedged

in there. Finally came out completely

stuck on that diner bolt. So that all went straight in the

bin. It was had it got the file out

and just cleaned everything all up just so it was all nice and smooth again. Grabbed the flywheel, cleaned

that up myself. Many people have done it

themselves. I mean, if I was, if I was

putting in a brand new clutch, then I'd probably get it machined. Yeah, but I'm not, so it

shouldn't be too bad. Just sandpaper and just made it

all nice and smooth again. And had to use the original

flywheel bolts that came with the whole kit that I got the manual ones because the ones I bought, the ARP ones, don't fit.

We mean they feel like they just they're.

Bigger so I thought I chose the right ones for like an RB20 but and they must have thought that RB26 ones fit but they don't these ones with fat ass I'm like oh wow so got rid of those and just luckily I had these ones there they went in with a bit of loctite on it 2. Talked them up.

Talked them up with the gun. Yeah, that's that's, it's not

coming off now. That's how I did it and I'm

gonna come off with that. So I put down on and then, oh,

the OK, this was pretty funny. This is like a massive brain

fart moment. So I've got, you've got the

clutch. So you've got the, the disc and

then the the spring part that goes over the top, right?

So I'm like, I've got the spring part, but like I've got no bolts for it. Like he didn't give me bolts.

I'm like, how am I going to fit this thing?

I've got no bolts like stuffing around.

Maybe I've got some bolts that are kind of the same.

Maybe I'm they were in the packet somewhere.

See. Where this is going?

Yeah, they're, they're on the flywheel.

Yeah, he had the bolts there for me on the flywheels.

Brain fart moment but alignment tool all good.

Bang had that in so the clutch is all in.

Nice that part is done. So any other manual gearbox this

weekend? Yes.

So all I've got to do at for with the gearbox itself is to put the clutch fork and stuff on it and then that can be lifted and and put in. Then that can be tail shaft drop

down. Then I can do the other little

bits. Has that got a internal slave or

external slave? External, I'm pretty sure.

Well, that's yeah, that's better.

Just just in case anything happens.

Yeah, Yeah. No, I'm pretty sure from memory

goes down and sits underneath the car or in a spot and then I'm pretty sure it goes down straight to the transmission.

Yeah, perfect. Yeah, from memory with the

videos and that that I saw, Yep, such should be all right.

The only thing I found out the car won't have is reverse lights. Oh really?

What is that? Oh, it's just like a switch

thing. You.

You need to wire it up and stuff and.

The switch it up on a gearbox for those isn't it like it's.

Yeah, there's there's a diagram in that to be able to wire it up if you want to and all that kind of stuff.

But I'm not an auto electrician so get a stunned one that.

Car's not roadworthy. Yeah, it won't be with it, but.

You're going to hook up like a light bulb to the back or something and just touch it. Just put a button on the dash.

Yeah, make it like super bright or something, yeah.

Yeah, it's going to lie. In.

Reverse blind everywhere. I can't see you're not

reversing. Yeah.

I heard correct. So pretty much box in, tail

shaft in, drop it again, I'm on clutch pedal in, do the adjustment with the computer wire for you know, to make sure that it knows it's in neutral and then you should be.

Good. Yeah, yeah, I've got the plug

that you can use and you just kind of bridge it together or something. There's a video I just, I just

got to finish watching it because I've been going through it bit by bit. So I'm not up to that stage yet

on the on the video that the gentleman has posted on there, which has been very, very helpful.

We're going to have to post that video on our on our page because like, like it sounds like he's doing a good these.

He's done a good job with it. Yeah, he talks through it all.

I mean, he did everything all by himself.

So he seems using the the Jack and everything, everything all by himself and explains it all. And yeah, I've been going

through the video over and over again.

It's just the tool that he used to get that Spigotbush out worked, but for me it didn't. Sounds like it's the Bible.

So lucky. Annual swapping at 3131.

So lucky him with Toyota Blade I bought a electronic throttle controller that arrived does that.

Work. Does that work well?

Yeah, it does actually really, really good.

It just completely livens up the car.

It's a. Tug and play.

Yeah, it's a blitz blitz one. It's you got a little small box,

but it's easy to install. It's got instructions, but like

it's pretty easy to hook up. And what I did is it actually

fits in the proper Toyota spot, so it looks completely stock where the switches go. Oh, cool.

I just popped out one of the blank ones and put this one in so you wouldn't even know. And it's just got the button,

little button there, there, but press it to turn it on.

If you want it off, press it, turn it off.

So at the moment I've got the little box actually behind that piece, so you don't even see anything.

Very good. But on that black box there, you

can still adjust it. There's like 9 settings, so you

got like settings 1-2 and three is like economy mode.

So accelerator, if you press it down, you know it doesn't do much. It stays higher in gears and

everything like that. Then you've got like 4-5 and six

is your sport ones I've got in the lowest setting of sport, the highest setting in sport, you pretty much just kind of tap in the accelerator and it's like you're like, OK, it's a little bit too much, a little bit too touchy.

Yeah. And the one that I've got it in

now will just kind of hold the gear here and there for that little bit longer and just a bit better with the acceleration, you know, off the mark. It just doesn't feel laggy and

and slow now. It feels like the way it should

be more spirited. And then when you want to, you

just press a button at any point and turn it off and you just back to complete normal. And then it's got auto mode.

So it just kind of picks up on the driving what you're doing.

And if it's kind of if it's kind of stop start traffic, then it will lower down the range and move into like eco mode and stuff like that and then bump back up again and it just goes by the way you're driving and it chops and changes through it.

That's good. And so I know your car doesn't

have cruise, but would that have worked fine with the cruises and everything as well like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it'll work

fine with that. Yeah.

You wouldn't have any dramas that's.

Cool. There's an extra thing that you

can buy an adapter. It's got the little plug there

if you want, where as soon as you put it in reverse it would cut it out. Oh cool.

If you have it in super Sport mode or something you put in reverse, you don't want it to go.

But I mean, it's not really a necessity because I'm not going to be reversing with it on. You know, you kind of just start

driving and then you turn it on. Yeah.

And the good thing is like, you can, you don't need to turn the car off to turn it off and restart it again.

Just press a button. Not right.

It's easy, yeah. Yeah.

So I could be at any point driving along and go.

I don't need it right now. Press a button, back to normal,

like completely stuck and I go oh looks like I'm heading to the twisties. Boom, turn on and there we go.

Yeah. And we're back into it again,

so. Did you have to programme it or

anything where it just goes? It's just plug and play.

No, the only thing you got to do is once you've hooked it all up and put the plug in, put the car into accessory mode and the little red light will start blinking.

And that means you just make sure on the throttle you press it all the way down for 100% and then all the way off and all the way down and all the way off a couple times, calibrate, and then it will stop flashing because it reads and figures out the voltage. So it understands what the

voltage is for 100% throttle and what the voltage is for 0% and that's it. Then it's programmed done.

That's. Pretty good.

Perfect car, away you go, so it. Sounds like a very easy

calibration and just all all together quite quite easy to do.

Yeah, definitely worth it, especially with, you know, electronic throttles and things these days that can feel very, very laggy, you know, and you could, you could sit there and drive it and you can keep tapping and like hitting the accelerated pedal and the Revs don't really move yeah much with it because it's that laggy. But now in that sport mode, it

would, you'd feel it going, yeah, I'm moving you so.

I think even some systems it makes it so that you can go 100% throttle because sometimes like the stock systems, they just don't open all the way. The butterfly belt like in the

throttle blade doesn't open up all the way.

Yeah. So it helps with that.

Yeah. Massive, yeah.

I know Tyrone, when he had it in his range, he's like it completely changed the car. Yeah, I.

Remember him talking about that? Yeah, so.

Yeah, so he was really happy with that.

Yeah, they're good value. I've heard they're really good.

Yeah, we we sell them at work just like yes, your main ones these. ABC or whatever, yeah.

ABC ones, yeah. And basically so well and people

happy with them, so yeah. So they're your updates, Scooty.

That is my updates. Chat.

I haven't had a lot on. I did have someone reverse into

the drivers or of the Civic that was just parked on the street.

And you know, I found out it was a it was like a tip truck.

And anyway, I have to go chase the owner, but I went to went to a wreckism lava turn, picked up a door.

The ad that I found on marketplace said it was, you know, it was a maroon car and all that stuff rock up and it's like faded red. I'm like, I just drove all this

way. I guess I'm just going to buy it

because it was it was still good.

Anyway, I bought it, chucked it on.

I had my wife's dad staying with us for a few days, so he gave me a hand to, you know, lifted up to all that stuff, swapped over some bits on it. Yeah.

Now it's back on the straight looking and, you know, looking a bit sorry in three different colours.

But yeah, it's, yeah, it's done. At least it's not looking, you

know, all dinged up and stuff. I haven't done anything else.

I've just kind of been laying low on the cast for now.

And yeah, that's really about it for me.

What's going on with you, Maddie?

With me. So when saw my actually I wrote

a story for you first and foremost.

So, Edward Bunting, you sold a scamp to my good friend of Ratner. Yes.

So that Scamp in particular had, I'm assuming he hadn't probably been run for like close to 30 years.

It was a long time sitting, yes. Yes, so they put they took all

the fuel to take it was it was red.

So it was definitely super that was in there That that that that's yeah wow that that that fuel was in there.

So like, let's let's get this, let's see if it runs.

So, so Rhonda's been ticking her away with that and basically had a look and he's like, oh, there's no one, one plug was missing. And he had a look.

Why? And they kind of put a piece of

together while the car was sitting for so long because when they went when they went to put the plug in, they've damaged the thread and you couldn't put a plug in it.

So he. What was it?

Just a stance that had done. Yeah.

All right. Yeah, so so he went to.

Helicoil or do something? He re tapped it and then put a

new plug in it basic basically. Well, the valve cover on those

off yeah, basically, you know, try to make it build oil pressure it build oil pressure. So he's like, you know, made

sure that the oil was coming to the top of the engine.

He's like I'd say that that the oil pumps working it's got it's got it's got oil pressure yeah. You know, put put a new set of

plugs in it, empty the fuel tank, put new fuel in it.

Yeah, and it Bloom came to life. Really.

Yeah, he's him and Steve, like they, they, they like we almost fell off our off our chairs. We couldn't.

We couldn't believe it started. We thought, we thought it was

gonna Yeah, it was gonna be. It was gonna be terrible.

Wow. Came to life.

They drove it in. They drove it around the around

the car park. It's got no brake.

It's got like 0 brakes. 0 brake because that's that's an auto.

That's it's an auto, Yeah. Wow, that's so.

Cool. And so so run was run as rap.

So now, so now it's it's moving around under its own, under its own pack. Was it?

Belching smoke or was it? I asked the same question.

He's like, I had a bit of like a, you know, some puffs coming out of it and then, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Then it cleared up and he's like, it runs better than your one. Like of course it does.

That's so well that. Car.

You know, that white one we think was relatively low mileage, you know, like looking around it and the the interior and everything, you know, because these speedos are only in a, they're in miles and B, they're only 5 digit speedos.

So when it says, you know, 70,080 thousand like to get a scamp that's done, you know, 180,000 miles or 280,000, that is a hell of a lot of KS and they they just didn't tend to do that. They will throw away cheap cars.

So I I think that from memory it had done 40 something on the Speedo that car. So it's probably, you know, 40

something 1000 miles, which is 60 ish thousand cars.

Yeah, it probably hasn't done a lot of.

Work so like Ron was telling me him and Steve were like like we couldn't believe it. It how and how and how well it

ran. He he's like Ron is like I

adjusted like the idol a little bit and you know Benny, but he's like it was in Ron's mint and I'm like, I'm like, I I saw and I just looked at him. I'm like and my car still

sitting here. What is your car doing?

What is that? Scam I'm about to get to that so

so anyway, sorry. He he started started the body

work on that now. So it's pretty much the roof

bonnet guards, windows all out of it.

It's been, it's stripped back to bare metal and they're they're, they're, they're doing the painting.

They're painting it, Yeah. Wow, are they going to do it

themselves or get it done? So, so Steve's done a bit of

body work, you know, years ago. So, so he so Steve when he's

when he's not working on one of the other cars in the workshop, he's he's he's just working on that my scamp.

It's all done the but the issue is it's running really poorly.

It's just running so rich. Like it fails up plugs like

after like a minute. So he's like whoever rebuilt the

car be must have probably put like The Jets are just way too big. So because it's just fueling

like crazy. So he's like, he's like, we took

it the plugs, clean them. We even put new, new set of

plugs in. Run ran all right.

And it just ran so rich that I just found him up again.

I've adjusted the idol and played around with it here and there and he's like, I just cannot get it to run right.

And I'd rather giving it, I'd rather give it to you running really, really well before before you know, like everything's done, the brakes are done.

You know, it's it's done. It's just like, oh, he's trying

to make sure that it's going to run right.

So he's asked me if I can get another if I get a hold of another carbie, just just to compare.

So sorry. I spoke to a good friend, Mr.

David Prince. He's given me another carbie.

So I'm going to drop that off to my mom tonight who was able to run this tomorrow morning. Yeah.

Yeah. Actually a bit of my bit of my

car, you know, but yeah, like, I had a look at it.

It's all, all the brakes are done.

You know, it stops now. It it drives.

He's like, it's driving, right. It's just, it's just running

really, really rich. And they, you know, and, and

it's Steven, Steven are very old mechanic.

So like they're, you know, they're good with carbies, but he's like, he's like, we cannot get it to to to run a bit leaner. Yeah.

So probably over jetted is what he thinks.

So so once like once he's going to do that because probably this carbie David's given me, it's pretty good from what I've heard. So that, that can that can go

straight on and, and we should be in business and then we can, we can try and make scam camper officially.

But I just wanted to tell you that funny story about, about the, the white 1. He, he's and he's like, yeah, it

runs better than yours. And like, of course the body and

I was like, and then this guy's been dead for 30 years.

So, yeah, but he's like, we didn't even clean up the lines or anything. Like he's, he's like probably

the fuel in the lines were kind of like evaporator and everything. And but they, they did check all

the lines. They said all the lines are

still pretty good. The carbey was leaking.

The carbey was fine. He's like, we, we gave it a bit

of like a start. Your bastard just to just, to,

just, to, just to kick it over with some with some fresh fuel and and he's like, yeah, Ron's great.

Well, like, of course the body does.

Absolutely. Well, even mine, you know,

that's done 24,000 miles from new.

When it's warm, it runs fine. When it's cold, it's a pig.

It hates starting cold and it hates it won't keep idling when it's cold, you know, So you come up to a set of lights and the thing dies and you put it in neutral, restart it, you know, So even that's, you know, super low mileage, really nice conditioned car, but but it's not it, it still doesn't run right. You know, the car is not right.

So it seems to be a bit of a weak point on a scamp.

You know it gets Abby to do what it should do.

Yeah, absolutely. So hopefully I can be taking my

SCAMP ASAP. Like I went, I went there and

saw it and it's it's done. It's sitting at the sort of the.

Work at night, summer car, you know the tip around the summer.

I cannot wait to. I'm gonna take.

You so far I'm gonna. Take you.

Down Awesome. So I'm actually, I actually got

really excited when I saw it because I because he's like, he's like, it's, it's done. Like everything's ready to go.

Just just I want to get it running right.

And like he, he did apologise to me.

He's like, I don't have to take it a bit long, but he's like, I wanted to make sure it was good before, before you got it back.

And so, so yeah, we're we're we're like we're a bee's whizzer away. We're so close, which is, which

is, which is, which is really, really good.

I'm I'm super excited now. So that's got me back on the

scamp on the scamp train. I'm Oh yeah, I'm super excited.

It's very especially seeing his one and then knowing that his own runs better than mine now. But that pissed me off.

One. But two I am.

I'm pumped up for mine to get on the road.

Yeah. They're relatively simple

engines, so it shouldn't be too complex to make it run right.

Yeah, the fact that they're like, let's just clean the tank and just tune it up a little bit and see super runs and spray spray bang came to life and and he's like he's like the thing just idled like it came became just idled.

He's like they they just looked at each other like, how is it?

What that's? So good.

Unders are good. Like that they are good like

that so so that's the scam update laser update I got hit at the front of my house again as you you know I think they'll tell you that no I. Don't know.

So I'm so Steph and I went out Sunday morning for a, we went to the farmers market in, in, in Willie and I parked the car and I'm like, and I walk around the front because, because you know, going to go on the footpath and, and I have a look.

I'm like, what the hell? The, the bonnet, the bar, the,

the licence plate cover was broken and cracked and I'm just like, I'm like, are you kidding me?

Like I cannot win. Like like what?

What if I, who's grave did I walk on with this car?

Like I don't get it though. So I was like, you know, I'm

going to let it ruin my day. I went into the farmers market.

We we got some stuff and drove it home.

I drove it straight into the garage and I bought a bought a polishing a new polishing pad and polished.

I got most of it at the bottom. I had to, to reapply the coding

on it. That which is fine, but I got

all of it out of the butter, but the bump is all cracked and mounted from it and it is what it is because I was going to get it sprayed anyway because it's full of stone chips, you know, eventually, but just frustrating.

Like it's just just really just like especially when you when you got pride in something that you're careful.

You know, and no one leaves a note anymore.

No, no. Well.

They. Don't well, like the last guy

did, which which was which I was really good, thankful, thankful for, but but this one was just like, yeah.

And it's a yeah, I know, I know it's a white car.

So I mean, I mean, every, every time I see a white car in there, I'm just walking up and then checking the back of him.

But I don't seem to, some haven't seemed to have found which one it is yet. So yeah, just just a bit of a

bit of a yeah, it's a bit of a ball breaker really.

Yeah. So, so that's, that's been a

little bit frustrating. So, but once, yeah, like I said,

I got most of it out. So it it is what it is.

I'm just going to keep driving it at this point.

I don't, I don't even care anymore.

But yeah, that's been pretty much it on, I think, Mike.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much my my car updates.

So that is where we are at now. Gentlemen, I want to get back to

what Edward was saying earlier about education, because we don't really talk about education much on the show.

But like, you hear stories of people driving, as you said, like their cars and like they're overheating.

And until it completely sees up and like, oh, there's no, there's anything wrong with it, especially when it's been, you know, steaming, you know, for the last 40 KS you've been driving it. I honestly personally think that

there is a perception. I usually get your licence and

you can just drive and it is what it is.

But I think that there should be more to do in your test.

There should be like a basics change of tyre, check your water, check your oil, know what all the dash lights mean.

Kind of simple like like like you do like you do your hazard perception test. Yeah, you do that one next like

you do like your your car. Practical maintenance or

something? Let's check.

Yeah. Like, I think that I think that

definitely should be a thing. I just wanted to get your

opinion, boys. Do you reckon that that would be

that would be a good thing or do you reckon that would just be an extra thing that that people would be like, oh, what do I have to do that for? And then, you know, because

quite often or not, you're getting a lot of people that they make mistakes and, you know, and they, by the time they realise, oh, you know, my, my car's on its rim and I've destroyed the rim, it's too late, you know, So it, it's, it is, it is interesting. And then in their complaint, oh,

you know, my bloody car let me down and I didn't know about it and I didn't know how to fix it. Because the amount of time I've

helped people out that, you know, men and women that didn't, don't know how to change a tyre, you know, so it's, it's not, it's not just, it's definitely not just women, you know, just the basics. Or how do you check your like,

like a lot of people that I get come into super shape, don't even know how to open their bonnet of their car.

Like, and then genuine, like genuinely like, I swear to God like that, like that, that is, that is what I, that is what I get. They're like, I'm like my

lights. Oh yeah, just pop you out for

me. I don't know how to do that.

Pop your lights on. I don't know how to do that.

Yeah. So like.

Pop your bonnet so I can. Oh, right, right.

And and they just look at like, no, I'm sorry.

I don't know. I'm like, I'm like, sorry.

Actually, I, the first time I had I scoffed this.

I'm like, just to pop the window, like, no, I don't know how to do that. I was like, oh God.

So I, I, I have to show them how to do it.

I was wondering, in your opinion boys, do you reckon that would be a good thing or just a thing that people, more people would complain about? No, I think it needs it.

It's a good thing. It needs to happen, you know,

and, and yeah, overseas, I've certainly heard that overseas, you know, it is a lot harder to get your licence.

It's a lot more rigorous and it's a lot more expensive.

So people take it more seriously because you it is a hard hurdle to jump over or a more expensive hurdle to jump over here.

It's it's really relatively easy and you can get your licence here and have absolutely no knowledge of the vehicle itself, unless someone else sort of drills that into you.

So, you know, like I said, I've, I've heard it so many times and oh, the red light came on, but you know, nothing seemed wrong.

So I just kept driving, you know, and, or, or, or, you know, a flat tyre, you know, and I just kept driving because, you know, I was just, I was only 5 KS from home.

And then you destroy the rear and the tyre and you know, whatever it is. I think a lot of it too is

because people don't know what to do necessarily when there's an issue. Like they don't know who to

call. It's all very unknown.

But having that, having that plan and knowing the number to call and having it in your phone or in the car somewhere really would, you know, be very sensible, like, like, OK, you know, you're 18, you've just got your licence.

You're, you're out on the roads. You know, you've never done this

before. You're enjoying your time with

your friends. Whatever you're doing.

If this red light comes on, you know, here's who you call RACV.

You know, if you crunch it into a pole or, you know, here's the tow truck number or, you know, if the battery goes dead here, you call RACV. Like just having that backup.

It's it's fair enough. Not everyone's going to be a car

expert, Not everyone's going to be interested.

But just knowing if this happens, do this.

I don't think we're very good at going, you know, going through those steps with with whoever might be driving.

It's like, here's your key. See ya, you know.

I remember like when I was. When my.

Sister first got a Liza because she wasn't even really into cosmic when she when she was younger like she's now.

But I said to her, OK, I'm gonna give you an experiment.

This is like a few weeks before she got her licence and I showed her how to do her oil, showed her how to check your water.

And I made her change 2 ties on the car.

Yeah, I changed your phone, change your background and I showed her how to Jack up the car with the jacking points.

Where? Yeah, it was a couple hours of

the day, but she's never forgotten.

And then she's never been left stranded.

She's changed. She's changed ties at the side

of the road before. She's changed people's like her

friends ties on the side of the road.

Yeah. Because she's like, well, I've

because. They didn't know how to do it

right. Yeah, they know how to do it.

Yeah. And, and, and she's, she's like,

you know, you know, at the time she's like, Oh my God, why, why is Matt dragging me out here in the middle of the day to to, to to learn how to do this? But she's like, I've never, I've

always been grateful for that because, you know, it's saved my ass, you know, so. It's a certain responsibility.

I think you have been in charge of A, a very capable killing machine to do that stuff. But more so, you know, dollar

wise, you know, if it's your own car and no one else gives a rats if you run it out of oil or you run it out of water and cook the thing. But you know, might cost you 10

grand in engine or 15 grand in engine or sometimes more so or it might write the car off and you gotta go buy a whole another one, you know. So it's, it's, it's very, I

don't know. I'm, it's ingrained in me to, to

monitor gauges and, you know, have some sort of mechanical sympathy like that Land Cruiser years ago I drove up the guts of Australia 2018 in an old Land Cruiser 60 series.

I bought it down in country Victoria because my friend who was living up in Fitzroy, near Fitzroy Crossing at the time, all the Land Cruisers up north in the, in the, in the top end of Australia are stuffed. You know, they're full of rust,

They've been abused. They really are cooked and

there's not a lot of good cars up there to, to buy.

So I, I sourced one for him down here and a mate and I drove it up the middle of Australia and then then flew home, you know, delivered, delivered it to him up there.

So the whole way up I was, you know, there are 4 gauges in those old 60 series cruisers. There's temp, there's oil

pressure, there's volts. What's the other one?

Temp. Yeah, maybe it was fuel.

I feel like, I hope so. There was fuel, but I feel like

there was a fourth one that was something else Anyway, So I drove it up there and the whole time I'm, I'm, you know, watching the temp, I'm watching, OK, if I do 105, it goes up a smidge. If I do 100, it's not, you know,

just this mechanical sympathy. And I got it all the way, all

the way there. And it didn't, it didn't miss a

beat, you know, at the end of the day.

But the guy that had it, one of the guys up on the community borrowed it from, from my friend who bought it and drove it into Broome, you know, fanging it at 140 the whole way.

Course temp goes up too high and you know, he overcooks it, you know, and it's just like, so I've driven it 5000 KS from Melbourne without a, without an issue.

Yeah, you, you do one drive in it and, and, and screw it.

And that thing had a new radiator in it.

So it's not, it's not like the fault of the cooling system, but it's just car's just not designed in those temperatures to be driven at that speed. Like look at the gauge, know

what the gauge means, know where it normally sits, you know, know where it should be versus where it is.

Now. Sadly, you know, that sort of

knowledge is is gradually being lost.

And yeah, often, you know, modern cars have a cooling light and when the light goes off or comes on, it's it's too late.

You know, you don't even get a gauge.

Well, I put, I put that temperature like because in in the forest that I had, it didn't have a, it just had the light.

The yeah, the light came on. You cooked all.

Over. Yeah, yeah, so, so I the first

thing I did when I when I had the car is I put AI put a water temp gauge in it Yeah and and you know, I'm not you know, like some people all don't put stupid gauge in the cup, but I put it in there for my own mental health because like I'd be there it's. A You don't know what's

happening, Yeah. It's a Subaru hashtag head

gaskets and and, you know, and it always stayed in in the right spot. Yeah.

And I was like, well, but by the time the red light comes on, it's too late on one of those like it's already, it's all over. So yeah, you know, I thought

that was a that was a good mod to do, you know, like to to put something like that in there. Just it's just a bit a piece of

safety. So I think no, I think

absolutely part of education should be here are some basics about about all cars, you know, unless it's a Tesla and it doesn't have a motor in the same way, you know, really these things apply to pretty much every other car.

I mean, you still have to. If you had a flat and a Tesla,

you'd probably have to change it to.

A space saver sphere or something?

Yeah. I mean that basic knowledge of

like how to do the very minimum to be able to A get you home B and not put other drivers at risk.

Well, let's just say you are driving on the freeway and your car overheats and your engine seizes.

You're just going to maybe get stranded in the middle lane in A5 lane freeway. What's to say a truck doesn't

see you and just clean you up and put themselves in danger and put you're in danger and just the other people around.

So it's like, you know, you owe it to yourself to know a little bit, but also you owe it to also others to make sure your car can safely get off the road if there's something wrong.

Get off the road. Yeah.

Recently who was who, who got in a car?

One of my friends, I forget who it was, got in a car and and the oil light, low oil light was on. I was my friend Alex, who's

who's been on the show before He, he got in his brother's car and the oil light was on and said so how long has that been on for? And the brother was like, oh, I

don't know about a month. It's like, OK, so an oil light

in a car is a fairly serious light.

That either means usually there's no oil pressure and or it could be low oil level, which could cause low oil pressure.

So it's it's usually or not usually it's always one or the other. So yeah, that's a serious one.

That's a red light, so. You will cook your motive.

All the spicy ones, yeah. Very.

It's like the I always like in car engines to the human body, you don't have blood. You bleed out for whatever

reason. Your heart's the oil pump.

That's good at getting the blood around the body.

You know, same as in the car, there's an oil pump.

It's good at pumping all around the engine.

You've got to have the oil. You bleed out with an oil leak

and and you're cooked. Dehydration, you know, you don't

drink enough water. Cooling system, you know,

dehydrate, it's very, it's very much.

This is a very that's good analogy.

Yeah, you. Don't exercise enough.

You sit on the couch and eat macas, IE you put 91 in your car when you should be putting 98 premium, and you don't give it a good freeway run. Well, that's like sitting on the

couch and eating macas. You're gonna see gonna see that

thing. Things are gonna stop working.

No, it's, it's, it's an internal combustion engine is not unlike the human body, no. They're actually quite simple

when you think about it. Like like, like how how they

work. It's.

Yeah. I mean, they look complex.

You look lift up a bonnet and there's so much stuff going on here and there. But but the basic concept is not

complex. And by and large motors are

amazingly resilient like motors will.

And I always said this to friends, you know, like if your motor has oil and water in it, for a traditional combustion engine that's not a scamp, which is air cooled, you don't even have the water component. But a motor that has oil that is

designed to have oil and water flowing around it.

If you have those two liquids in plentiful supply, it will keep running. Like it's very rare to

completely kill an engine. If it's got oil and water, yes,

some things can cause that, but it'll blow smoke, it'll use oil, it'll burn oil. It'll it might use water.

You know it, it might be a very unhealthy engine, but it's amazing how long they will keep, you know, starting and running even poorly. If those two liquids are

present, if either one of those is not present, that's when you'll you'll really kill it fast.

Scotty, what would you think? Would you?

Would you be agreeing with? That is this a good topic?

I like this one. I yes, but not straight away.

OK. I'd say it would have to be part

of a plan. I don't think it would be the

first thing that you'd want to start to happen, especially in Australia. I think it would be better to

start by teaching them how to drive properly first.

I think that would have to be the first step.

Understanding the vehicle, understanding what the vehicle can do, understanding that you're sharing the roads with others. Understanding what can happen

when you start doing brake checking people, what can happen if you're sitting too close, how much that changes, especially on wet roads. You feel the difference with

your brakes. Yeah.

And once you start to know your car, you can feel the difference with your braking in the wet tyres, how important that is.

Traction. If you go off the road, if

there's something in front of you, got to brake heavily.

I know there's been a lot of advanced driving where majority of the people are not pressing the brake pedal hard enough, then they're just pressing it, but not to the point with that much of the ABS kicking in and they don't understand how hard you can actually press that brake pedal to come to a proper stop. They don't understand how ABS

works. Basic Rd rules.

Stay out of that right hand lane.

Be aware of other drivers around you.

So much of that is out the window.

Just got in luck with the the car control.

So many people get their licence and it's like if you slam on the brakes in a car that doesn't have ABS for example.

You got to look up. But no clue as to what's going

to happen and and what to do in that situation.

You know, they, they just, I remember my friend's sister, this is years ago getting her licence, you know, slam brakes on, on a wet Rd on tram tracks. You know, tram tracks is a very

Melbourne thing, but never, nevertheless, it's a very common thing. And you slam your brakes on an

old car with no ABS on tram tracks and you will skid for miles. You know, no wonder you hit the

car in front of you and they hit the car in front of them.

You know, it's, it's very, it's not taught.

You know, those defensive driving courses where you go out and you learn that car controlled stuff are, are great, but that should be mandatory. You know, this you should be

before, like we're putting people in front of young people with no experience in front, behind the wheel of a giant killing machine. These the damage that that these

things can do is intense. If you had a factory with a

machine in it that could do the damage that a car can do to human lives, there would be a very extensive training course on that machine, you know? Imagine imagine the the booklet.

Exactly. Imagine the modules and imagine

the modules and imagine the, the training you would have to go through to be authorised to use that machine.

I mean, look at a pilot, you know, look at, look at the training a pilot goes through to, to carry 300 people through the air. You know, now, OK, cars might

not be killing that many people in one foul swoop, but it it really is so undercooked, the licencing programme, I think.

Cars are only getting heavier and heavier.

That is true, yeah. The more weight behind it, I

mean, the more damage these things can do.

And yeah, advanced training has to be done.

If you know, look, I don't like Vicroads.

I think they're pretty trash when it comes to training and things like that. They're very, very behind with

technology wise and everything like that.

Like so backwards, but that's another story.

But they're pushing for, you know, this log books and things like that. They've got to drive at night.

Well, if they're doing that kind of stuff, then how about trying driving on different kinds of roads?

Yeah. You can feel the difference on

driving different kinds of roads, whether it's back roads, country roads, city roads, ones with tram lines, you got to drive on those differently. You feel it, you get on that

tram line wrong, you can feel it pull you and things like that.

So first. Time, the first time I ever went

sideways was in my first KH laser.

I was turning onto not Michelin Rd met Alexander Rd right near where the school is and it was raining and I was, I was going to, I was going to TAFE that day and I turned in and I wasn't even going that fast. And like, I turned and there was

a train coming the other way, which, which was like I, so I turned a little bit more on just to go straight the back tyres.

They, they, they, they hit, they hit like, you know, the tram track and it just kicked out at me.

I was like, what the hell. Like, and it scared the living

crap out of me. Like I said, no, I've never had

that happen before and I haven't had any, I didn't have any training and I kind of just backed off and just just hit the brakes. And then because it didn't have

ABS I locked up and I ended up in the middle of the road looking like an idiot. Yeah.

But you know, it was you're right, like there's there's different you got you need to learn how to drive to all different conditions. And I that is different roads.

That is just that's a that's a that's a good thing.

That's a good point, because it's not taught.

No, just general Rd rules is not taught.

Yeah. You know, there's nothing out

there that I did in training to keep left.

I didn't do any training to tell me how to do a hook turn.

Yeah, you don't have to do. You have to do a hook to get

your licence like it's and. It was just, there was nothing

telling me really what to do other than stop sign and give way sign and traffic lights. That was it.

You didn't tell me what to do at other intersections where I've had people like, stop dead when I meant to stop for them because they're meant to go and they don't know what to do and they wait for me to go. I'm like, hang on, I'm in the

wrong. I'm not moving.

I'm not meant to. What are you doing, mate?

Yeah, doing the left turn. I'm not, you know, this is, you

know, or they're on the primary Rd, I'm on the secondary Rd turning on. Well, they have the right way.

And this is rules that are not talked about or taught, whether it's a little stupid quick written test, but it should be put into practise at the same time, which could easily be set up. You could easily set this kind

of stuff up. You set up a hook turn do.

That's pretty easy, like. Yeah, you don't need to drive in

the city to practise how to do a hook turn or how to practise to do all this kind of extra Rd rule stuff.

You just need some cones and. Yeah, exactly like a motorbike

test. Yeah, yeah, just set up simulate

what it's like to to do. A hook down to do a hook.

Down or, you know, whatever might be harder to simulate how to drive in different types of road conditions, but still you could. Do a module about.

It yeah, you know a module about it.

Yep, yeah. And as a teacher, as a teacher,

Matt, are you taught while going through to be a teacher that everyone learns differently? Absolutely, Absolutely.

Oh, why? What?

You're learning is, is is a, is a, You know, it's just, it's just that it's a thing you learn.

Some people can do it visually, some people need it to actually be able to see it or do it at the same time the same ways, and we're not doing it. Yeah, correct.

Here's a quick written test of a video screen.

Click when you think you need to stop that, go out there, drive for 10 minutes, we'll see you later.

Test there you go. And I, I don't think some of the

tests are actually done properly, but again, that's another another thing. And then they get the licence

and away they go. We should start the Car Talk

driving school. We should.

Yeah, let's do. It that was a good idea?

All in the laser. Can I?

Can I be an instructor? All right, you maggots, listen

up. Manual only.

Manual only. Yeah, manual.

Only no autos, no DSGS, no seller speed seller.

Speed. Yeah.

My brother did his test in my actually in my laser actually in the SR3 outside. He he he well, the car was been

to do it and got almost written off like the week before ending with him driving it because someone didn't stop and just ran off the back of him. But yeah, like, you know, I

remember doing my first hook turn and I and it took me probably a good six months to do it because like the first time I was in the city and I was like, I need to go, I need to go right. But I don't know how to do it.

So I just, I just went left. I just went around a block

genuinely. Like I was like, I was like, I

don't know how to do it. I had to ask my uncle.

He was a cabbie for a million years to, for him to tell me how to do it. And he's like, Hey, you just

explained it to me and I did it. And I was like, oh, well, nice.

It would have been nice to have the training because not even in the in the in the books to tell you how to do that, you know, So no, so so yeah, that was that was interesting.

So all right, before we get to the quiz, couple of things.

So it needs to be it needs to be education needs to be kind of rejig. You need to have about all the

different recognitions like that that whole section about driving needs to be redone, but also like the basics of calm car mechanics and basics of of calm just check over really, I think should be it should be another thing roadside emergencies is, you know, for your car, it's kind of like a, you know, I think it's a very important thing that needs that needs to be. Like a fail safe to to make sure

that you know, you whatever you get, you pull over on the side and you don't get cleaned up or something because you have to stay there for an external amount of time.

You don't know what to do. You don't think pull the tower

truck. Yeah, it's don't stay.

Put your damn hazards on, yeah? No.

Yeah, exactly. Just something basic like that.

Tyre pressures, you know, I see the traffic lights and you see the cars next to you mostly under inflated tyres.

You think, Oh my God, that thing's got like 10PSI in it.

That is not safe. That's not.

That's right, just wearing the outside of the tread and it just just causing all sorts of. But you'd be surprised at who

we're in the roads with, right? Like I went to the gym the other

day and and I parked next to this Corolla and the first thing I know, and it was it was, you know, probably 15 year old Corolla, like the, you know, like the bubbly shape one that nobody really likes. But like, it's like your

generation Scotty. But yeah, but like the crap one.

Yeah. And we are hopped out and and I

saw these like these, you know, like self tap.

It's in the self tap. It's in the in the in the

bumper. I'm like, OK, well, this, this

can't hold alive. Then look at the front ties.

They are bold. Like I'm talking bold and and

I'm like, these are the people we share the roads with.

Like, you know, and, and he's like, he's dropping off.

She's like, she's dropping a Corolla because, you know, it can, it can take neglect, but you know, that's it's not a good thing because, you know, in the wet, you hit the brakes even with ABS, you're not stopping like it is, you're not dissipating that water. So that's also too like, you

know, you know, I think another big issue we have here in in Melbourne. But anyway.

But also one more thing people need to realise is if it hasn't rained for a while and then it starts raining on your Rd, extra careful. Yep.

Absolutely extra. Careful, it's great.

Why not? Let's slip.

Not slip correct car to top tip. Do all those things and you'll

be a much better driver. Anyway, I think it's time for

the quiz, gentlemen. Let's.

Go Scotty. Is there a quiz master this

evening? So.

Seven questions on my phone and then the other ones are on my laptop. OK, because I had to take AI,

had to take a photo of it. My laptop wouldn't let me save

the document and I had to restart it because it was freezing. So the photo and then restarted

it and then the other questions on here.

So Chad, myself and Edward are playing in tonight's quiz with the quiz master, Scotty. Scotty floor is yours, take it

away. Beautiful All right, so I've got

some, you know, recent news and car things that are popping up and some movie stuff in there and video game stuff too.

Lots of. Fun.

I'm not going to know any of it. Well, you might get some of the

movie stuff, who knows? Yeah, let's see.

All right, question #1 due to Donald Trump, Dodge has pushed what forward? So the release of something?

Matthew, I think I saw this. Is it the new charger?

Yeah, but which one? The electric one.

No, not the electric one. Yeah, it'd be the non electric

one, yeah. So which one's that one I?

Don't know. Do I get .5 Scotty?

Yeah, I'll give you a .5. You did know it was Dodge

Charger? So I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll take

that. If someone can give me the

engine then you can have a full one point.

Oh, OK, Chad, is it the hell cab?

There's no new hell. Cab, Yeah, right.

No. V8 petrol.

No. It's a.

It's a inline 6, isn't it? Yeah, it was a twin turbo 6

cylinder. Next.

Called the the six pack. Six pack, 6 packs back.

Yeah, sounds pretty good. The six pack on the on those old

Australian charges were pretty cool.

Nice, as long as it sounds better than a the Ford Raptors.

No, they don't sound. Bad every morning.

I hear one every morning. Yeah, I tell him all the time I

was like, these things are like shit.

He's like, I'm hurry, don't he's like it goes good, but it sounds terrible. He's like, it sounds like a

Commodore with straight pipes. Yeah, it.

Sounds like the odd thing. Question #2 What has Neeson had

to do? Matthew, Ed.

Matthew. I did see this.

They they're in trouble. They've had to lay off like 9000

workers or something. Yeah, they have had to.

Yeah, it's not written on here, but for bonus question, they've had to lay off workers, but what else?

Ed. Ed.

But they were also, I read it today I think, delaying launch of models like EV models. Yeah, yeah.

Well done. Well done.

That's .5. No, that's.

A. That's a point that.

Was a bonus question that. Was OK, good.

OK, full point. Sorry, full point.

That's four point I. Can give you .5 if you like

Edward. Yeah, OK.

No, no, no. We'll keep that.

And compared to anywhere else in the world, the CEO was actually cutting his pay. He's not half pay.

That's another point, yeah. Is there an escape to Lebanon?

This time, he didn't escape to. Lebanon in a in a in a.

Music box in a music? Yeah, in a in a double bass case

or something, wasn't it? You couldn't write that like

that. That's not that story.

I need a movie about that. They do need a movie about that

like that. That's so cool.

That'll happen. It'll happen.

Question #3 So this happened in Australia.

What expensive car was recently crashed and then the driver was arrested? A crashed driver was arrested.

They did a citizen's arrest on this gentleman.

Citizen's arrest. Yeah, it's an oh, I heard about

this. There's video footage and

everything on. It Chad.

Chad jumped in there. Chad, was it, Was it a Bentley

or something? No, not Bentley.

Happened on cup day. Oh shit, I remember now.

Sorry, shit. Edward, you were next.

I believe I. Don't.

Know I wanna give it a guess I was gonna say Lamborghini Urus because that's. What?

No. Can I have a guess?

But I won't get the point. Yeah, let us know.

It's like a Falcon of some sort, like a an old Falcon GT or something it. Was a XWGT.

XW Yeah, he. Photos of that.

Ended. I mean, it had Simmons on it,

so, you know, that's it. Had your photons.

Yeah, yeah. But it was a yeah, it was a very

expensive car. Yeah, he only just bought it

like a few months ago and the he bought it a.

Slot. They talked to the owner that

actually rebuilt the whole thing and then sold it to this guy and then this guy smashed it. What did you want to say?

Was it? Was he devastated?

Yeah, he's pretty disappointed. Yeah, that's, well, he got paid

for it and I'd say you probably got to build something else.

Yeah. Question #4 Which car company

recently announced it recorded its best sales result across the brand's 60 plus year history in the first nine months of 2024?

So 60 plus year, Ed. Ed.

Toyota. No.

Can we get a hint like at a? Like at a.

No, Matt, you don't get a hint. I'm.

Trying once you've all. Once you've all had guesses,

once you've all had your guesses, then I'll give a hint.

All right, I'm going to say, I'm going to say it's definitely not bulks open because they're they're buddy, they're they're they're in. They're in the doldrums.

They're in. They're in a bad place right

now. Not Nissan.

It's definitely not Nissan either.

I'm going to say Suzuki. No.

Yeah, OK. I'll just guess MJ.

That's a good guess, actually. No, OK.

We're going to restart this question.

I'm going to give you in. Sounds good.

You need to think more luxurious and performancey.

Ferrari, Matthew Ferrari. Not, not Ferrari.

I'm out. So we're saying the company's

been around for 60 years. 60 plus. 60 plus Well, they've had

their best sell or selling yes in 60 years.

Yeah, they've reported their best sales result across the brand, a brand 60 plus histories.

Is it ever had Ed? Aston Martin.

No, sorry. No, I think I know what it is,

but. I'll guess Jaguar.

No. Is it kosher?

No, it's Lamborghini. Lamborghini.

That's bizarre. Jesus, they have been absolutely

killing it. Well.

Well, apparently there's like a two year wait for a year, you know, like it's like 2026 I. Can't wait till that's longer to

go to bathroom. Yeah, I know 100% that that just

says all that you need to know about.

Yeah. When when I was reading that, I

was like, that's absolutely crazy, like people are.

Lamborghini, you wrong. Lamborghini out of the whole

since they've been I. Mean I so the EUR has got to be

their best thing, right? Like that is the Yeah, well.

That is the reason. Wild, yeah.

I think we can thank the Euros. At Aqo.

Them to keep making those other awesome ridiculous performance cars. That is true.

That is true. It's keeping a.

Fueling, yeah. It's doing what the KN did to

Porsche years ago. Yes.

No. No, no question #5 we're moving

into some movie ones. But James Bond movie ones?

What Car did James Bond have in the Pierce Brosnan's Tomorrow Never Dies movie? Chad.

Chad. Aston Martin TV9.

Ed Ed BMW E38 Seven Series Yeah, I'll.

Give it to you. Really.

Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep. It was A7 series it.

Was the one that it was the only way to do remote.

Control, You know, I think it was a remote control.

That's right. Yeah.

Yeah, Do. You know what one it was based

on? What 7 Series?

The Seven. Oh I think it was the big girl,

like a 750IL or something. Correct.

Beautiful. Yep, it was.

That's four point plus bonus point thing.

It's not. There wasn't a.

It wasn't. I said E38I even got the 7:50

right. There's not much more I can get

right on that. Question.

That's not what he asked Maximum.

Point question. He dominated that question.

Thank you, Scott. Wait.

Who am I? I'm not going to get any of

these questions. Fun fun fact, they actually just

use the 740IL. Oh, really?

I made it look like the 7:50. Yeah, well, cheaper, cheaper.

Yep, had to save money. Yeah.

Question number six. After a few James Bond movies

using BMW, Die Another Day came out featuring which car for James Bond. Matthew.

Matthew. That was an Aston Martin DB7.

Ed it it might have been a Jaguar like an XK8 or something.

I had an XK8IN that day. Another day it was the enemy's

car and I thought. Oh, OK.

Oh, I know what it is. Oh, crap.

Yeah. OK, Chad.

The DB5. No, no.

It's. It's the, it's it's, it's a

Vanquish. It's the V12 Vanquish.

Yeah, I can't really ask my bonus question now 'cause it was kind of entered in there with the whole Jag thing.

So, but it was, it was going to be during the movie.

The car chase took place on ice. With which green car?

Jaguar XK8I should I should get that point?

I mean no. That that's it's it's it's.

I'm a mention the XK8 that. Can I actually say something?

I actually really like an XK8 I think.

I think you still think it's a good looking car.

I drove one very recently. One of my colleagues bought one

that had been imported from Japan because, you know, you can bring in all sorts of rubbish here.

And he said, Ed, have a driver this tell me what you think.

I came back and said it goes well, like it goes hard.

It's got good power, but everything was falling apart on this. The suspension sounded like it

was disconnected from the car. It was a bucket of shit and.

He. Knew it, You know, as soon as he

drove it, he was like, oh, what have I done?

Yeah. I think a Ford it.

Wasn't it was not good other than the the power was nice.

Other than that, not good. So he ended up, yes, just

sending that to the auctions, I think.

Yeah. Bye bye, Jagger.

XK8. But that was a supercharged one

too. The what?

Is it the XKR or something? Yeah, Well, jeez.

Yeah, it was one of those. Another little another little

fun fact from that movie. I like the fun back Scotty, this

is good. Aston Martin, the V12 Vanquish

didn't have the V12 in it. Oh.

Really. Use the bodies.

I just had AAV 8. Yeah.

So weird. V8 in the front and you could

see like it was like a a Chevy 8 and the whole front of just nothing there because you know how big the V12 wasn't there.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Dubbed in there that tells you remember I used to watch it all the time. The behind the scenes I had the

DVD and stuff like I love James Bond.

Massive fan. I'm seeing Scott.

I'm watching that and yeah, that's, that's how they did it.

The ice scene, all awesome. There's no CGI stuff that was

all them driving ice, especially with the explosions around and stuff too. That's cool, you know, You know,

I'll just add to that. You know, what's cool about a

lot of movies and stuff like car movies and things.

And, and I know we bag on GMA lot, but every one of those cars has usually got a like an LS in a, in a like a small a small block Chevy in it because they just work and they're reliable and they make good power and, you know, cheaper to fix than a than actual V12V12 Anchorage engine.

So yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, that's why we don't use

the V12. Yeah, yeah.

And they had problems and stuff too, with the cold conditions to begin with. Yeah, it was interesting.

It was pretty good. If you can find it and watch it,

yeah, it's worth a lot. We'd give that a watch.

Yeah. Let's put.

Your nostalgia hats back on and remember back you sitting in front of APC or a PlayStation question #7 Need for Speed has had a number of Aussie cars in their games.

Can you list four of them for Matthew?

Matthew. They had a VTGTS, they had an A

UTS50A U XR8 and they had oh jeez.

I think, I think they've had a Monaro as well at one point or like a like a GTGTR or GTS from it.

I'd give it to you, it was the GTA.

The. Coupe GTS now.

All right, I'll give that one to.

You I had to go back in time, but I did remember those cars.

If anyone knows any of the other two, then there's two more points up for grabs. If you were they were they

points each? No, generally not.

No, that the whole question was just one point.

I'll take. That, but I thought if you could

get these other two that were in the game, which is pretty tricky. Specifically which game, Scott?

Or is it just any of the need for speeds?

I'll. Tell you.

Because these ones are all over all the a few need for speeds, but you got to go back. Aussie cars Aussie.

Cars, yeah. You got to go back a bit for

these two. Feel Oculus to everything.

Yeah, I know. I'm trying to think what they

had because they, yeah, they had the X RTS50, yeah.

You got to go further back than that.

Yeah, it might have been like, it might have been like a like a VVS, like a GTS, like a GTS, yeah.

No, no, I've got no idea. In real LA BT1.

BT1. In need for speed 3 hot pursuit

they had the ELGT for GT. Right.

They did too. Yeah, they did too.

Yeah. You can get that in the sweet

looking burgundy. Yeah, I think that's right.

Yeah. Hot colour, yeah.

And HSV had the the Vt SV99 there you.

Go. Was the other one.

That's really cool that they had them in the game.

That's actually really cool. It was awesome and they stopped.

No more Aussie cards. I think after Pursuit 2 I think

was the last one that's and then they moved to Underground and everything like that and now who knows.

Now they're just making crap. Yeah, they are, quite surely.

Yeah, OK, question #8 what is the most popular car colour in Australia? Ed.

Ed got in. Black.

No. Not black, I want to say white.

Correct, but now we're going to do a closest to what is the percentage of cars in AUS that are white?

Ed. Ed, what's your guess, What's

your percentage that you think are white 45?

Percent. 45%, says Mr Ed. I'm I'm going to say Matt, I

want to say it's probably not as not that much.

I want to say 37.5. Oh gosh, he's bringing in the

the decimal points you go to. Eddie, what'd you say?

37.5? Yeah, you're not the well.

Yeah, I'm sick. Chad, I'm going to go 28. 28% I

like that .25. Maddie got it as 40%.

Oh, we'll take that. I said a 40. 7.

You said 45. 40. 5. He said, but Matt said 37.5.

Yeah, but I'm a starter. With the four, he's a starter

that's half a. Point.

You clutch against straws here man.

Half a point, huh? OK, my last question, question

#10 my famous question in golf. The Volkswagen or the game?

Definitely the game. Or the Carpenteria, you know,

the Gulf of Carpenteria. What do you call a stroke or a

score? That is one over party.

That one over is a oh, is it a bogey or a birdie?

I think birdie might be one under.

I'm going to go bogey. That's correct.

You said that one over is a bogey.

That's my quiz. How much points I get versus a

Matthew versus a Chad Weeja? Chad, I don't think we need to

talk about it tonight. No, I'll sit this one out.

Sit this one out. Edward on three, myself on 4.5.

Hang on. Three.

How could I only get three? I answered like a lot of

questions you only. Ended up on three.

McCall is shenanigans. Sorry, I wasn't keeping score.

I'm just. This is surely I got more than

three points. I answered a lot of questions.

There, well, you can listen back to the to the thing.

I had Chad here watching me put the scores in.

Seems about right. I'm going to listen back.

Yeah, next week all. Right.

Well done, Matt, I think. Thanks to the quiz, Scotty, that

was good fun. Yeah, good quiz.

Good quiz, man. Thank you, Scotty.

Good quiz. I think it's a podcast,

gentlemen, let's get some plugs and bunting you do a podcast.

Yes, with David Prince. It's called Auto Retro, where we

talk to guests about the cars of their lives.

You can listen to it on Spotify or watch us on.

YouTube, YouTube, give them a listen.

It's a really good, really good, really good show.

Scotty's got to the week. I just learnt this new one

actually, I want to, I want to give it a go.

Sometimes in your stance, when you're ready to hit the golf ball, whether you're teeing off or not, or just, you know, ready to do your next shot, your back leg, which usually if you're playing right handed would be your right leg.

You can get a little bit tense and you're tensed up so you're not ready. So a little drill you can do is

actually just lift up your, lift up your heel and then put it back down on the ground and it just relaxes the muscles there and you've got a better stance and have a crack that way.

So. So I'd like to give that away,

give that one a go because sometimes, yeah, I can be a little bit tense. And if you're locked up, you're

not getting, you're not going to hit very well.

Yeah, I agree. There you go.
