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. John, what would you go for
thanks to you send? There, OK.
And because there's not a supercar, there is.
It's not. Ordinary perfection comes in the
form of two letters A&U. Long live my Ltd.
Welcome to Car Talk. It's Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.
It's a Sunday kickback. It's a Sunday kickback.
We're back. We're back on a Sunday.
It's been a while on a Sunday, Many, many Jay online with the one and only Adam Madax Ward all the way in WA.
How are you mate? Yeah.
Good. Good.
Good to see you again. Good to see you bud.
What's been happening dude like it's it's been it's been good it's been good to see her like from from all I've seen you're very very busy man in terms of in terms of cars and and you've got a new addition in the in the background there which which will which will get you very very shortly.
But how are you finding how are you finding your your time with your new car. Well before we get to that I
want, I want, I want to ask you if you if you a few questions one, why you why you bought a van and two why are white van.
Because they're they're, they're, they're synonymous with, with two, with with, with dogginess, if you know what I mean. So.
I'll. It gets worse.
It was bought from the police auctions so it's got a dodgy past and when I went down and buy it I well, I got it on the options online. Now went down and pick it up and
I like it's just as he is, where he's like they couldn't tell me if it runs or anything that's good or bad or anything with it.
It's just yeah, you bought, it's your problem now.
So I grabbed a tow rope and some you know, the stuff that you normally grab and you know, you know duct tape and a cup of cable tyres and the rest of it threw it all in the back of this dodgy white bed and drive it home.
I don't think it halfway home. Oh shit, this thing's got no
number plates on it. I mean, it's got a day pass, but
it's got no number plates on it. If I get pulled out and they see
all this rope and cable ties and masking tape in the back of this dodgy white van. Gonna be in trouble, so so this
is this column at the suspects now.
Cosmos. But so like before we get to
this, like like before, you break it down in more detail and find out more about it and what it is in particular.
OK. You've you've had an issue with
you and now that's the reason why you're buying the van, correct? No, no, no.
We When me and Jen first got married, we.
We got married just before the pandemic and our initial honeymoon was going to be doing the big lap.
So driving around Australia and we will get a rental RV or yeah, just go hotel, the hotel. And then the pandemic happened
and it all got swept under the rug.
And then we were talking about, you know, hang on a minute, we never really had a honeymoon. And so you have always wanted to
build myself with RV rather than rent one.
And I said, well look, I'm not really using the Mercedes anymore, so I've got a motorbike for getting the working back.
Yeah, maybe I'd sell it and get a van instead.
And yeah, one thing led to another.
So kind of interesting story with selling the Mercedes so.
As you know, I had a W2O3C200 compressor and have to put a bull bar on it, so I live in the Bush, so it was the only C Class Mercedes or the bull bar that I've ever seen.
Yeah, put it up for sale and my phone just went ballistic because I only put it up for two grand.
I was thinking no one's going to want Mercedes with the bull bar on it and it's it's had better days.
You know, as all of my cars, I never buy anything good, just various levels of crap. But yeah, the first guy that
came out to have a look just didn't take it for a test drive, didn't open the bonnet gave me two.
And cash? And I said, oh hey, you going to
get it back? She came up in a Commodore and
he goes, oh I'll, I'll come and get it during the week.
Just give me one of the keys and I'll come and get them.
Yeah, OK. Alright.
So the whole week went past and I messaged him and I said oh you you come and get it or what's the go?
It's still sitting here. And he goes, oh look, I can't
get up there to get it. And I said, well look I'm coming
down to get this sass bus so I can bring it down and give it to him. He goes, if you bring it down, I
give you 100 bucks cash. So yeah, absolutely.
So yeah, So yeah, took it to him, did all the paperwork, and then. I'm at the auctions and my
phones going ballistic and it's all my mates sending me pictures of the Mercedes up for sale, this guys selling it.
Within an hour of me delivering it, he's got enough for sale for 2 1/2 green. How much?
2 1/2 this is how you take the 100 bucks that he gave me.
He's making 400 bucks on it. So I yeah, I don't know.
Yeah. I mean, I did all the paperwork
straight away, so that's not my concern.
But yeah, yeah. And even with the country number
plates on it, he wanted to keep the country number flights.
So yeah, yeah, very weird, but. So he bought this thing.
And then basically said, Oh yeah, I like as a Flipkart for four, he's making 400 bucks on it like. 400 bucks on it, yeah.
Doesn't say worth it. And then like you gotta take
your account. The petrol that he spent coming
up to have a look at it and back, yeah, it's a 2 hour trip, you know, And he was driving a V8 Commodore, so that's what, 50 bucks in fuel? At least.
Yeah, yeah, really, really weird.
But again, it's not my problem. Then you went.
So did you already OK the sauce boss Neil So?
First of all, what is the sauce boss?
It's a transit, right? It's a 1996 transit and it's the
poverty spec version, so it's crank up windows.
It's only got AC tape deck in it.
Yeah, everything is fine. It's a manual.
It's. Five in the floor and like
literally on the floor. There's nothing on the floor
except the gear stick would just sticks out in the middle of nowhere. It's so random and yeah, it's
got problems. What I know and how much is it?
Had I probably wouldn't have. I mean I I got it from back and
I got it for 1000 bucks. So.
But it's yeah, it's burdensome money pretty quickly because it's unregistered. I've got to do a hell of a lot
of work to get it registered. I initially thought it would be
too bad because I work for the country mob that does the DOT that does the. Registrations.
But I got told after I told my boss that I bought this that when I allowed to do our own vehicles.
But yeah, I have to go somewhere else.
I can't have him, even if I put it under the wife's name, of the wife's maiden name and that can't. 3-4 more boxes very down
the line. He's one of the very few people
that's been able to keep his inspectors licence because he doesn't do anything if he so it's not the end of the world I can go to another. Inspection centre and at least
I've got him there to, you know, lean on to say you know will this pass, will that pass and there's always no.
So, so did you buy this sign on scene or did?
You. Yeah, off the off the auction.
It was an online police auction. I wasn't there really looking
for a van. I was looking for another.
Generator for Eddie, because we lose power all the time.
And then, as you do wonder over to have a look at the cars.
Because yeah, and see Internet. And I spend most of my time
looking at cars on the Internet. I guess so said that this is our
look, if this is under a grand, I might grab this.
And she said yeah go for it. So.
So I did and white pages like I I bought it and it was probably 4 weeks before I was allowed to go and get it.
I was stressing the whole time, you know?
Yeah, they've changed their mind.
Like they've reopened the investigation for whatever the hell it was involved in. Like they won't say what the
Hell's going on with it, but yeah, then I thought, oh, maybe they're taking anything that's half decent off it, you know, I'm going to get down there. It's going no rims or anything
on it. And it's exactly as it was in
the photos. It's just because the plain
white van. You couldn't really see all the
dents in it until you see. To the front was baggage it had
hit a pole or something with. The first job I did on it was I
went down to The Wreckers and we don't have a walk around wreckers like you guys have got over there.
You've got to call them ahead and pre negotiate and they've got to take parts off and you've got to go down and pick them up.
And it's just so I'm actually get one records pretty good about. I said, hey, listen, I'm
mechanics, I can come down and I'll still pay the same price, but I'll come and take it off myself and say to the hassle and obviously I did that because I had to fill my pockets, but yeah. Yeah he was pretty good.
He was about to get rid of it. It was the version you know the
the truck version. So yeah that was got a few bits
off there. So I got the bonnet and got in
and cut the front crossmember the crash bar out of it and replaced it in this and it's the first time I've done any serious body work like that. So grind it all out and Weld it
all in and. Grand down my ship worlds and
covered in Saflex and painted it so it looks like good welds.
So yeah. Hopefully that'll pass.
But yeah, just every time I fix something I notice something else has gone on it. So the temperature gauge didn't
work on the dash and they just driving at home and did.
Apparently you temperature gauge has to work for registration.
So yeah. And because it's a petrol and
manual, they're quite rare, like there's plenty, there's thousands of diesels but not very many petrels.
And yeah, the dash is a little bit different.
So I end up buying an aftermarket temp gauge and I was just getting a mounted on the dash just in front of the thing.
Maybe in May I pulled the dash all apart and pulled the actual cluster apart and ground out the original tech gaze and made this one fit in where the old one was.
Put all that in and then broke some bloody speed.
OK. Yeah, it probably would have got
away with having a temperature gauge not working, but I won't get away with not having a speed, OK?
You can't go with JTS one either.
For rego you have to have the original 1.
I think it's because the odometer has got account.
Yeah. Thinking about it now, but yeah,
I asked my boss and he said yeah, it's going to have the original one working, so. More fun.
Noticed the tailshaft centre bearings gone in it, so I've got to get one of them, which I can get.
That's not too bad. That's 80 bucks.
So yeah, lower ball joints are gone, sway bar links are gone.
Yeah, it's funny because the joke perfectly fine other than the exhaust was missing off it. But yeah, I've just done the
exhaust today that that wasn't too bad.
Actually, I got a really good exhaust guy.
I know 250 bucks. He made the whole new system for
it. Very good.
Yeah, really good, considering that he didn't actually get to see the van I just pulled. Rock was left of the old one to
him and a few dimensions, and he just made it all with slip joints and stuff so I could wiggle things around and get it fit, which is good. So that's that's one thing
ticked off the list. Absolutely.
Just weird random things like I had no plastics, like the trims on the pillars and no symbolises.
And I thought that really doesn't matter, but apparently you have to have them for regional as well, so yeah.
That's weird that they probably had things behind the the pillars and stuff hidden and. Yeah, the cops are probably
stripping it all down to find stuff.
Yeah, maybe. We'll continue that because we
just been joined by the one and only.
Adrian, Georgia. How you doing, mate?
Hello. Good to see you, bud.
It's it's good to be on. Been a little while.
Has been awhile, man. Has been a while, yeah, had a
few things happening so couldn't jump on unfortunately, but now I'm here. It's alright mate, it's alright.
I was ready for bed and then you messaged and I'm like, uh, alright, I'll make it appearance.
Bed. But then you guys are two hours
ahead, So yeah, it's 8:30 here. Yeah, right.
And I'm getting old. Well.
Actually, you bad word, right? Well I do before we get into
into your, into your, your stuff, because we still finished. But then we got a question from
the ninja. He asked a question for ya when
you get a chance. I recently bought an IS200 and
got hit the next day. Just my luck, right?
Uh, no insurance on both sides. And just got back from all all
being fixed except it's gotta crack diff cover up.
Anyways, I didn't get a chance to transfer the car into my name or get roadworthy since it was getting fixed and now my radio is suspended. Did I lose that eight months of
Roger that I have left? That is, that is a good
question. Why?
What states are in? Is it?
Victoria is. Daniel, I think you might be in
a bit of strife here because basically when you buy a car it can be. Like you've got I think 30 days
or 28 days to put it into your name so or the OR the previous owner can suspend it. The issue is getting if you.
If it's suspended, it would have had to be done by the previous owner because, well, technically in in their name unless you unless you've transferred it over from.
From my understanding now that can be a bit weird right?
So. You might have to reregister the
car, which means you're going to get a roadway anyway to put the car in your name, so it's really not matter.
But you have to. You might have to go and get it,
get the inspection and and and have to book an appointment to get it registered. So you might be in a bit of
trouble there. That's probably the native
instead of just changing it into your name.
So two questions. Did he get the guys name and
address and details, particularly his address and question B. Do you own a baseball bat?
That's. Because there is another form of
insurance that's not often talked about.
Agent, Agent Resources, All the boys are out.
Don't worry, I got this. That's, that's the Adrian
insurance, right. Like that, that's the that's
what happens. When, when, when, when, when.
When you get a if it's past the 28 days that it takes to get the roadie, then I'm gonna say I'm pretty sure that that reject.
As long as it's a Victorian regier, it should still be able to carry on. But if it's been cancelled by
the previous owner then that's it.
But, he said suspended. Yeah, it's suspended.
You can suspend your own regio if you don't wanna continue on with it. Yeah, but suspending means you
still lose that time though, doesn't it?
Because if you've got you know you can do three months installments on rego at the end of that three months, I think you can put your reger on hold for two months.
I think it is before you have to pay again and you have to pay before needing a roadworthy I think.
That's so much different over there than it is here.
We don't have direct where the nanny state, no worry about that. Yeah, well, he just.
Responded he was like, yeah, like 12 months, six months or three months to Reggio renewals and it was a plane because she couldn't move things around. So if you bought a vehicle on
one of those three months cycles as your other vehicle, then your regos hit at the same time. And me having a fleet of
vehicles, I had three that were all hitting at the same month and I couldn't move around like I could if I.
If I was paying yearly then I could I could shift them around but I'd pay every three months and but now they have a month by month direct debit for Reggio so you just you set it and forget it and you don't have to worry about your rego running out because it will just direct ever that each month.
Take it away. So I'm happy with that.
I mean, it seems like you guys are way more advanced than us, you know? But didn't you respond
responding? He's like, yeah, I got these
details. It was an attempted hit and run,
though. Cops did nothing after I chased
him down. I had to threaten with legal
advice. So does that mean that he's
paying up or not? Next question.
Next thing he says, it says it's suspended, but still says it expires in eight months. So no clue.
So does that mean like what you said, Adrian, Like it's just, it's just on hold for two months.
I think you can put on hold for a couple of months until you saw yourself out. And you and you and you don't
lose that that time of the registration you paid.
If I remember correctly one of our good friends that has that 836 that he took it off the road for a while because he didn't need the car pay the the Reggie. I I believe you put it
suspended, but I believe if you don't pay for it within three months of it being like the end of that suspension, then you have to go get a ride with you again.
Hmm. OK, as in like it it it lapses.
The actual copying available to be on the right, the right worthy. So being that he's got eight
months left, I believe it is suspended as in the eight months still hold on, but I don't think it's gonna like hold on forever.
He might only have like a couple of months to have it suspended and then he has to, you know, make sure that it's back up and running again. But my question is Adrian, like
how, one, how did it get suspended?
And two, how does he get back on the road at this point?
Like, like like what? What does he do there?
Like he might put in. He'd have to put it into his
name. But how could he put into his
name? It's if it's suspended that
that's my that's my question. He's gonna have to take it on a
permanent down to Vic roads. OK.
Like you would a new car. Well, at least that's from my
understanding. Because if it's suspended like
that where it's not in his name yet, he has to then put it into his name. And in order to put it into his
name, he'd have to take it down to Victoria's anyway.
Which means he still might need that roadworthy in order to say that yes, it is. The cars all that.
OK, OK, Yes. To go down and all the paperwork
to say that he's purchased it and then that's when they may unsuspended. Seems like you're best to call
Vicroads and discuss it with them.
Mommy that's he's. Yeah that's probably the best
way. I'm just trying to think of the
way I've seen it in the past. But being that it's a car that's
in Vic that and it's going to somebody else's in Vic it should be OK. But only one that.
I think the only time that I've seen where that doesn't happen is when it's sent to state. Then you just lose the regional
altogether. That, that is true, that is, you
do lose the richer. But I also think too that for
example, Vicarage being Vic Roads, Dave said.
Well, we can't give you that information because you're legally not the owner of the car currently.
Yeah. So he said that's why he might.
Be a bit. So look, look, the best to call
him up, man. And basically, yeah, figure it
out. So just so you know, we are live
on Facebook so you can give us a comment if you've got questions a lot like the news got one, he responded, though he did say the guy who is paying us questions. The guy is paying, but he's
paying very, very slowly and he's he says he knows Adrian.
Is right based on that job. I hope I'm right.
For your sake as well, but for people, if you want to comment, say hello. Whatever it is.
We we we love to answer calls, and we love to pick up Maddie.
Yeah, it's the best part of the day.
Let's be honest Matt, just actually, just quickly, why don't you pay? You're obviously the ones here
with the thousands of cars. I reckon you're the one hitting
poor guy. Yep, Yep.
That's that's fair. That's fair.
That is totally fair. Not how we spending your money.
Yeah, pretty much. Did you ask you earlier why the
van? Yeah, we're gonna do, we're
going to do a big trip. So we're going to do the lap.
We're going to go from here. We're going to go north up to
where we used to live in Broome going across the top end.
And then we're going to come down to test and see you guys and everyone else along the way. But yeah, I'll pull up in the
van and pull the Barbie outside and cause all the big feet.
This is going to be September next year.
My brother's 40th is September 21st, so I want to get to Sydney for that that weekend. But yeah, I've already told the
boss I'm going to have at least a month off, probably six weeks.
So yeah, we've got someone that's going to look after the cats and. House More importantly, there's
someone here doing security JD on the tank and the festy.
So yeah, but that's the big goal.
So first stop is getting this damn thing Regent registered.
Which is probably not. But yeah, then I've got a
massive list of stuff on a Detroit.
So going to go the old bat Wings, the 280 degree.
Thank you. Now, will this work?
If they are they? So I was working for Office at
Lock this time last year. Yeah, there you go.
They're good people. They're buying our fast as well.
Yeah, I do like. Him Yeah, I'm very good friend
of mine bought opposite my franchise in Midland and WA.
So anyone W look forward drag parts together lol in Midland and talk to Margie's a good boy. And yeah that's another big
thing since the last time I spoke to you guys on now a mechanic TA. So a fake mechanic spend all my
days working out of the country mechanic shop fixing fuller drives and doing services. Yeah, some of these small
drawers, the Bush bashes, God and farm repairs.
So everything's fixed with fence wire or barbed wire.
Oh man, that's all. See why it's always supposed to
be done? Yeah, it comes in for a service
team because it's overheating a bit and you take the grill off and there's a sheep. Need light?
And in between the yeah, the radiator and the air con, yeah, you've got some really good insulation on your radiator.
There's insulation. It's made for winter.
It'll be it. At least.
At least you smell like at least it smell like lamb, right?
It didn't smell good. Ohhhhh yeah.
Martin, could you just imagine just like some pulls up next to you, just like who's got the BBQ going?
So. Back to you.
The boss is pretty good. He doesn't Friday for us all.
Nice. Nice.
Just yeah, all the fathers bring us food for.
Paying for the services. What's that?
Hopefully not in the engine Bay. Mate my.
Had a kangaroo in the antibody that made me so up was one of the very first ones I hit. It went down and under and up
and goes neck in the fan belt. Yeah, it it didn't like clean
break its neck. So I had to, you know, force the
back through the belts to get them out from underneath the car. That was, that was rough.
Reasons to stay in the car. Don't come out there, don't look
and see how it was rough. That's fair enough.
Do you still have the four dude or?
Do. We were just talking about it
earlier, so I'm I'm about to get rid of it.
I had another drama with it today, so I had nothing but bad luck with that thing, hey. Ah yeah, Bruce.
Like so. Let's see, because you're doing
it wrong. OK, you're doing it wrong.
Let me explain. Something I need.
A jacket. I need a jacket off what you
need, OK? What you need to do is you need
to go and look at me. I believe they haven't won in
Victoria series, so you can fly down here.
It's called Denny Youth Master. You need to find the.
Box we need A5 poster on. There I need a five person which
have been oht really. Yeah, out here at least two ohm
barrel made by W company called Erwin Bullbars and it turned out they weren't getting their IT approval for him, they were just making them and putting the badges on them and getting them out the door. So.
Yeah, you kind of have a fun place anyway, but it's got, well, it did have. Had a three on there and then
not last week but the week before my missus was driving at home because it's her car now and truck was coming the other way. If you kangaroo and Ping ponged
it down and underneath, it just grabbed the bottom of the bull bar and touched the whole thing down and under.
I ripped the bull bar off the chassis ends and then it looks like someone in charge of pull on that kind of thing.
So it was shocking because the weekend before I'd gone to three different records picking up parts for the SUS bus.
And then the next weekend I went back to the Sainsbury because looking for parts for the damn you.
And he's going on. This won't fit you.
Then I'm down. I know that's from the other
buddy. Have a look at Macao Park.
There's a gate with no quarter panel and no front end on it.
There's just given to me hours. I need stuff to put it back on
before I get busted. Yeah.
You should put like a like a like a counter on the on the side of the car, like how many rooms you hit one.
Two, it's got that. Did you did you not see the
video was sent? Oh, no, I did.
Yes, I did. I did.
Dude, it's got another tip on that since last time.
It's. Yeah, I got in trouble for that.
Someone refused to serve me at Macy's because they reckon it was animal killed cruelty. Serious.
I said I'm not, I'm not targeted, I'm, they're targeting me. Go and tell me Kangaroos, that's
table cool cruelty. Yeah you can.
I can already foresee it. Like all the Kangaroos in the
meeting. Like when you see that grey, you
chase it. Yeah, in front of it.
Yeah, but it wasn't funny. It was this girl working at
Macy's is saying That's animal cruelty as she handed me a hamburger. She's cooking meat all day and
that's fine, but me hitting Kangaroos is.
Unethical. I love people.
I really do. OHP Yes.
Yeah, not too bad. Medium rare with tomato sauce.
Humans. That's all you need to say,
humans. Anyway, so that's that's the the
suspicious. Bus So it won't be called the
South Bus forever, it's just until it gets registered.
But we've got plans to paint it in snow Camo because that's going to look hilarious. And Darwin in the middle of the
desert. Painted in snow camo.
You should leave it white and just put on the side saying free candy. Yeah, but it's been done.
Yeah, it has been done. Yeah.
And of course, it's been done. Hmm, maybe free car parts?
310 mil sockets, You have all the guys working out.
Is there something you're trying to tell us there?
20 bucks is 20 bucks. This cannot be Jesus.
But yeah, so snow camo. And then we're going to call it
the wine sweeper because we're going to go around all the wineries and pick it up. But I've got this plan to do a
yeah, when you see those movies and they go to load up and they open a big cabinet and there's all the guns all backlit.
So I'm going to do something like that, but with wine and wine glasses and stuff instead. By the out.
So you open the sliding door and then this thing slides on the inside into the hole where the door was.
Adam, I'm not gonna lie, that's not very you always expect you to have like a like the, the VB bus, like it would just be, you know, all the different types of.
You can't. Again, you can't say that
they're racist. No, that is just cause.
This is bogan. No, it's just cause there's a
bogan. It doesn't work that way.
That is his choice at least. His you know, point comes in
boxes now. Yeah, good old boxer Sunnyvale.
Only 8 bucks. You know people just leave them
hanging on the washing ones for you.
It's a spin. Is is that when you gonna spin
it around at the ends on? You move, Bag of Fortune.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you know, it's funny
though, Adam. You're you're you've got a night
when it's 96, you said. Yeah.
Yes, yeah, 19. 9696 transit that you're making to go around
Australia, Rob, who's bought a brand new.
But he's doing the same thing. So what I what I wanna see is I
wanna see. OHS So some rice.
You guys wanna rice but two how different you guys make them and in three like have them next to each other and we're going to take a photo when you when you're when you're in with that and. Which ones actually?
That robs. I wanna see which ones actually
gonna last there. Try to look.
Marines got its own onboard mechanics, so.
You'll be right, yeah, but there's like no electronics on it, which is what's a good thing.
But yeah, being the. Car like.
I mean, it's basically gonna be new by the time I get it done to for Reggio, given everything that's buggered.
Yeah, that's fair enough. Yeah, but you're right, there's
very little. This one is absolute poverty
spec. This would have been the
cheapest one you can buy because it's the short wheel base, it's the low roof, It's gone. No air con.
It's the petrol, not the diesel. It's the manual.
It's got manual window winders. It's I'm curious to know how
many people would have been moved.
To it. How many people would have been
lured to your van that? Said.
Yeah, look, I always knew I was going to end up living in a van down by the river and totally enough.
The river. So it's got no air, Connor.
It's, it's. It's.
Got no air con, but I'm gonna do a rooftop air con so it can run when it's off. Yeah.
Yeah. So you get a kind of big hole in
the roof and just put like. Yeah, absolutely.
That's what's gonna happen. That's gonna happen.
Especially especially with the darling stuff.
You cannot live on no air on no air con.
You. Well, no, he's got an air con.
Exactly. If he wants full account, he
just puts the window all the way down.
How do you reckon they did it in 396?
It's How do you reckon they've done it in the G60, the first car that went across the Nullarbor?
Yeah, it is true. Now, can you buy a brand new
Land Cruiser now that still has wind up windows?
Yeah, you can. It's only like 150 grand or
something. Yeah, joke.
It's called a 79 cruiser. Joke how expensive those things
are. Although I do have to say that,
being in the job that I am now, I did have a pleasure of driving a GTR Cruiser. Ah, yeah, the Gazettes.
Yep. And not a fan.
No, not a fan at all. Especially after doing this job,
I would never buy for the drug. I'd never get anything diesel.
I'd never get anything with that EGR because that's just stupid.
And I'd never get anything with APF because they just fly out all bloody time. So I got to drive one and like
all the size, it's a very interesting car because you jump in it and then the. Second category kettles, The
seat, the petals, they all come together.
Says no, so that's not. This thing that they have is in
the 300 series too, right? Not the no, because I drove VX
and that didn't go. Because I've had a couple of
three hundreds come through now that do the same thing.
Both the pedal box moves up and the seat moves.
Yeah, steering wheel, all the electronics in it.
And I'm just like this isn't a four wheel drive anymore.
Like you wouldn't go spend the 100 grand on that thing and then take it out in the Bush. Not unless you've got, you know,
$200,000 ready. Yeah.
But that's not the market they're going for anyway.
That's my billion X. Yeah, yeah, it's just the people
that wanna look like that. We've got a lot of them out
here. Funnily enough, people that have
made a lot of money out of like W Farmers because yeah, this, this area of the wheat belt was where West Farm was started before they bought Bunnings and came out and Target and all the rest of the things they own now. So a lot of the original board
members and the board member families without here.
And yeah, there's this whole. I won't bore you with all the
details, but yeah, you're not a true local unless you're like third generation local and they they flaunted over everyone else. And it's kind of funny because
it's all still Bogans. But there there is something I
do have to say. And Maddie Maddie's gonna laugh.
Because you've decided that native Falcon is a supercar.
Hold on. Hell no.
No. I laugh every time I hear the
intro that no, I'm not getting into this, no, but I will say there is a Ford that is growing on me, especially being where I work. You know.
Said Doctor. Get it cut off.
OHS Yeah, you need help. Adrian, you need help.
It's killing me. But I have to say I'm actually
starting to fall for the Rangers and Everest.
Oht you have the next chance? You.
Haven't, yeah. I'm sorry.
Have you guys got any other markets over there yet?
I've seen a couple of them here now.
I I still haven't seen it in person, haven't had any of those, but we've got like a tonne of the next gens that come in, because a lot of them are all the fleet cars, yeah, But I have to say, just with the IRB hit on it, as in the big bull bar scrub bar sidesteps, it just looks tough.
Yeah, yeah. Just VM just to put that on.
I'm not answering that one because it's true that that.
Look, no, they're all fleet cars.
So yes, they need the big 600 kilos springs because they chuckle the service bodies on the back, right.
Well, yeah, just just seeing them every day and then getting to drive them. And I'm like, yeah, it's an 80
grand car, but they're. Comfortable.
You know what? I can see what people like.
Him. Here's the thing right They
drive really, really well. And you know, like why?
Why would you buy like a 300 series for 200 grand when you could buy something like that that does everything the 300 would do for a lot cheaper with a couple of mods.
Like I've seen a couple of cars come in where the customers cars, they'll go put the bull bar, sidesteps, suspension and snorkel on it. With the bull bar they put a
winch and they go out and have the time of their lives because it just becomes just another animal on the road.
So, like, I gotta say like I am, I am starting to come around to him and it is killing me to say that.
But I, I, I, I do like him. I reckon they're pretty cool
apart from and I still don't understand if you're gonna go buy a Ranger, why would you buy a wild track or a?
They're the top of the line ones and to do anything on them modifying wise, which people do when they come into the store, you have to take off everything that makes them a while tracker plant. Right.
To change it because it's all just aesthetic stuff.
Yeah, like, so the role of line comes off if you're gonna put a canopy on it or you wanna put anything in the back.
Yeah, whatever. It is the roof rails that go
along the roof. They come off because you got to
put a rack on it. Like background on it.
Apart from having just like the upgraded like leather seats, they're just I I don't understand it.
But wouldn't you just, like, keep all that stuff so when you sell it, it's worth more? No, because why does have to get
cut and all that to take these roller shutters off now?
Because OHS, really, they're not like the PX.
So when the PX Rangers came out, they had it where it was on a string, so you could actually sell those and they're worth 500 to 1000 bucks. But we've noticed all these ones
are coming out because it's all wired into the vehicle.
You need to have another wild track that needs that because you then need the switches that are inside the car, which means you can start ripping apart blooms and all that.
It's just it's not worth it. You could probably take it if
you're handy enough, but if you want to put it on something completely different, like put it on my you, that's yeah, if anything's possible. Well, I mean, I didn't.
I don't think I've ever really showed you guys, but I've got the hard lead on my BA and I jumped into the ICC, the interior command control, and managed to tap into the boot latch for the Today, even though it's a Ute and ran that out to the latched on the hard top. So when you press the boot
release on the. Button that releases the Hardly.
That's cool. That's actually pretty cool
cause that. Does, Yeah.
I did a big right up on it and put it on the Ford forums because I had a lot of people telling me you couldn't do it.
Like the youths don't come with it.
Welcome to the Ford Forums. Everything is impossible.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's that's pretty cool
though, because I remember when I had the hot top of my like you have to go manually open it with the cane and stuff.
So, hmm. But still difficult.
Yeah it's the the Hadley didn't actually have a proper walk on it because that hardly it's not for that you it was for a Commodore I think. And I just made it work.
But that's just what I do. That's what you're gonna do.
At that way it's OK. Yeah, I have got a central
locking kit for the suspects too.
I'm gonna put that in. I bought a whole new set of
locks. You'll laugh at this.
Full set of K barrels and locks, K barrels, keys and the latches.
The whole lot was, I think it was 100 bucks.
Came from Lithuania because obviously these things are really popular in Europe. I bought that and what else did
I bought and the central locking kit.
I bought both at the same time on eBay.
The central locking key was coming from you guys over in Victoria and the keys are covered.
Lithuania, Lithuanian stuff. Got here I think 2 weeks.
Took four weeks 4 1/2 weeks to come from Vic.
Australia Post 2 words sorry, 2 words Australia.
Post and you're a teacher. Yeah, I know it's.
Bad. He didn't say he was a good
teacher. He just said.
See here as a teacher. What is it with everything being
available Lithuania, like whenever you get looking stuff up, it's just always Lithuania has.
Yes, yes, that's weird. I like I was thinking until I
really want locks and keys from this only because they they'll probably send the bike over with an extra key at some point when I'm done. Take it away.
I just, I I reckon like what would you guys be like?
Oh we need this like go out until the local car park and just like ohe we need they need doors and locks.
Take your car, strip all the locks out of it.
Just walk inside. Alright, we'll go to the parts
now. What's that all?
Those individual parts are made in which they were here for the OEM's. And they like islands going
right without doing this model anymore.
We're doing something else. And then all this stuff just got
thrown out the back door. And then some other guys are
going through and grabbed them all.
And there's like pesky parts like the Ford Festiva.
That modern Ford Festiva is still being made in Iran.
That's crazy. Believe it or not, it's called a
Kia Pride, but they're still making that exact make and model. And the problem being is Iran's
got a trade embargo with everyone, so you can't buy anything from there. You can fly over there and buy
yourself. And a lot of the American
festival guys do they they fly over to something next to Iran and get taxi and go over to Iran and get all new parts and.
I'm, I'm good. I'm good.
I I don't really wanna go over there.
Nah, no, I don't think it's worth it for 1993 for Steven, personally. Right now, you'd be surprised.
I mean, it's so weird seeing 2023 model Ford fest Stevens that still look like that. Still, Foxy.
Still, yeah, I think that's. I think that's actually, yeah, I
think that's hilarious. Yeah, it's just weird that it's
the ones you want in the festive and they didn't do it with like the 323 or the laser or anything like that.
It was only that model, but I guess because they just need cheap transport and you can't get much cheaper them.
Bit like South Africa making ex wise blocked after they're gone.
Just bought all the equipment and.
Kept knocking me up. That's quite funny.
Only to you. Adrian updates with you in terms
of your cars and M3. Last time we spoke cooked.
Is it fixed yet or is it back on the road?
Still on the road? Hey so it's fixed.
No. Exactly.
Just sitting there. It's not.
I'm actually Dad and I were talking about that before.
I do get around to fixing it, but I gotta fix the other the Rovers first. So that's still not gonna happen
anytime soon. Well, some of the Rover.
OHP none of decided to build up the blue one, the diesel one.
So just off click the parts in the arrow.
Just gonna wake up the enthusiasm to go work on it.
Which I don't have. So what's going on with the?
When you gonna sell that or? Yeah, I'll sell that eventually
once I've got the blue one on the road.
Yeah. But just and I know the
enthusiasm. Being used.
You know. You know, you know you're gonna
do something and it's like, you gotta do it.
You're like, yes, I know I have to do it, but then you're like, or I could sit down and do nothing all day and watch a movie and actually enjoy my my Sunday.
Cremation. Ohe Yeah, I'm bad at it.
At the moment. Making today's problems
tomorrow's. That's exactly we'll see.
At the moment I'm working six days a week.
Yeah. So I get one day off and I'm
like, I could go work on the car or I could actually.
Sell it. So you're like me, Everything
stopped on the Festa. You wanna started being a
mechanic Because I'm working on everyone else's bloody shit boxes. I don't want to come and work on
the ship box. What do you think?
What do you think? Mechanics cars are never the
ones are the worst cars to buy because they never work in their cars like. So I thought it was the other
way around. All my cars are shit, so I
should be a mechanic. No, see, that's the mentality
going into. Then you realise how much worse
everybody else's car is and what you get back to your car.
You're just like, hey, no, no. Yeah.
So yeah, I've got parts, I've got all the parts I need for the car and just haven't got around to start working on it.
So you're in that little bit of Nirvana at the moment where all these parts probably fit. Test for years.
You don't know that they don't fit because you haven't tried SO. Berwick.
All the parts will fit because it's like they're made for the car specifically or I've taken them.
Off record that before. Yeah, but.
That before? It's a.
List of all the things I've bought specifically for that model that don't bloody work. It's full.
It's from ARB, so it has to work.
I've heard that as well are. You.
Yeah, yeah. But yeah, no, Just like,
everything's there. Just.
I thought I had it here at work. I've got a a mini sledgehammer
and it's got a Iron Man logo on it because that's the Iron Man repair tool or installation tool.
But I'll get there eventually, Say now you've given me a bit of a strive to get the car ready because.
If you're gonna have everything ready by September when I come over. Well, if you're gonna be going
around Australia I might have to meet in Brisbane and we're gonna go across Fraser a bit together. Alright, do.
That so now I'm gonna actually put my finger say what Adam you need to get like a I'm pretty sure did they come 4 wheel drive overseas. Those those those you get a full
drive transit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can get
conversion. So do what you need to do like a
full drive swap like. Jacket.
Well everyone I've worked with, so they've all got off roaders and off road campers and stuff like that and they don't understand and want to buy petrol.
Why don't you get a road one again?
Because. I'm all about being on the road.
This is gonna be the fastest lap you can do kind of thing, Yeah.
Yeah, we we rather be on the road than being at the campsite, so. Sorry to hold the sign of it.
I've got all the design, me and the missus been working out says full size bed in the back and that's it.
But everything pulls out from underneath it.
So it would be pull up, pull the Barbie out, cook, eat, sleep without having to pack anything cool, unpack any heat and straight back out on the road again.
So a couple of big deep circle batteries in the back and I've already ordered 120 amp alternator and just going to charge everything on the road so I might put a solar panel up as well but I don't think I'll. Need it?
If you're gonna be having a fridge running 24/7 as well, I'd put a solar panel just to safety.
Yeah, But again, I don't think I'm going to be stopping, so.
Whenever sums up, I'm going to be moving, so it's going to negate having a. It's a it's a Ford it it'll be
on the side of the road shortly. Again, it's got its own built-in
mechanic. It'll be right.
See, I see Adrian likes to throw shit at him because, like, he always like, oh, you know I've got yeah.
Well, I've only found they gonna be fixing the four today, so.
The only four that I had was terrible.
No, that's. But that's just because you
don't know how to look after them.
Yeah, well, before I bought the car and two, look who bought it.
Adrian, Georgia. So does he does he bought?
The most of it. Does he ever buy a working car?
Yeah. M.
Three, yes, works for about a week in.
X work for three months. Hey, hey, you cannot discern
exit. I'm not.
I'm telling you and I will smack you.
I yeah. Next is my favourite car.
Everybody, all the time. I shouldn't have got rid of
that. I regret it.
Yes, they cost too much money now and it kills me in song.
So have you had anything to body count was hasn't had?
Tracer. Jason, I'm sure it's been a few.
I think this is a problem. OK, it's the cars that I've had
have been owned by a YouTuber at some stage and the price has gone up. Yeah, you bought him at the
wrong end of the market. I bought the chaser before
anybody had one. As in the animals, they bought
one and it went through the roof.
Which I'm happy because I don't really want another.
Are both the M3. Then Adam Elzie went and bought
the freaking top of the line, one which kills me.
Laguna Seca, Blue Manual, all that kind of stuff.
If you can compete with Adam also, you're gonna lose everything. I don't exactly.
I'm not even trying to buy him first and he just like, I'll buy that now, but God damn it. So what you're trying to say is
out of LZ. It looks at my Facebook.
So what message are? Because I'm gonna be like, hey,
just out of curiosity, I need to notice from my own conscience.
Do you do you by any chance follow Adrian to Georgia One?
Are you copying his style because you're an asshole?
Just say like you say. You said you just like the
leaves off Facebook. No, not me.
But you should do is sending a care package because that's what my my podcast went through the roof when I sent the vortex generators to Monte Carlos and they opened them on Unicorn circuit and yeah, it took off for like everyone.
Admittedly they all came and listened to one episode and fuck it off again because it was a shit.
But I think you guys send us something to Unicorn Circuit.
I mean, God, between the lot of you, I'm sure you could do my crack car for the next 12 months.
They really know their crap cars might when Marty jumps on.
He already got says all the Nuggets like.
You. Yeah, you just gotta turn it
around the market it now. Actually.
Actually, he's bought the the Dalica.
Dalica Yeah, I was just gonna say that I I got a van and then everyone's getting Vans. Hey hey I bought I bought the NX
and then moved went and bought an NX shortly after I did.
Yeah. And then I'm just like, well,
they got surprised to that now and he must have heard what I said because then there was a comments that are on when he showed that it was annexed saying OHT here goes the prices of these. Now he actually put it on.
Yeah, like. Wasn't that funny how they
recommend? They started off saying that
Marty Commons tax is the thing and now they have that it's.
Every time that gets up, what I've gathered from his conversation is it's not the mighty comma size.
Is that Adrian, Georgia tax that is, that is.
Essentially the tax I buy a car goes up in value.
What I mean, but if that's the case.
Adrian, I'm sorry, let me rephrase that.
I buy a certain car and that certain car goes down in value.
But the actual make and model of that car goes up in both the the one you own goes there. Yeah.
It seemed like the cost has become and it's like, no, no, no, no. I was missus pointed out when I
sold the Mercedes that that's probably the first and only car I've ever sold. Yeah, I've had over 100 cars.
Well, truly over 100 cars. I've never sold one.
I've run them into the ground and the.
They've got a scrap or you know, giving them away as parts cars to friends, but I've never sold a running car before.
But I do have to say the only car that I've actually made money on is the Falcon. Although like every other car
that I've had, I've lost money on, but Falcons are 81 that I say that I've actually. Made some money?
Yeah, but how are you doing your calculations?
Are you taking into account everything you've spent on it?
You don't do anything to him, so yeah, it would have gone out all the same way it came in. Not on the Falcon, because I
cracked it with that thing because of the whole engine situation. But apart from that, actually I
think I showed it to be honest. You did.
I mean, to be fair, that wasn't your fault.
Like that wasn't your fault. No.
And then it just annoyed me that that happened.
And then after that I watched it, just sold it.
But like everything else, I just tend to OK, hurry up and sell it, get what I'm paying for it and move on.
I don't care about what I get value wise out of it.
So if anyone's listening or watching and has a BA Falcon Auto, I know for a fact as of today that you can do 30 kilometres with a blown line before it won't drive anymore.
They will do. Buddy transmissions.
They don't have a dipstick so stupid.
So I had to get this little oiling can and put ATF in it like half a litre at a time and. Sometimes it into the.
Line and then a little bit more company and a little bit more company in Arizona, the side of the road.
You you didn't get the big, the big can of stuff on that you pump by hand. No, because you keep hardware
store, because there isn't any automotive stores out here.
I was almost gonna jump the fence at work, but the alarm system, there's that. Buggered if I did, so yeah.
Hardware store luckily had a bit of multi trans ATF so hopefully it was good enough to get it. Out good enough.
Olive oil that would be good enough to build.
Yeah, Adam build whole tough they they said.
They found on the rubbish dump. Well, look, 30K with a flying
trans line, that's that's pretty impressive.
That's impressive. That is very impressive.
And now she ran it right away until it would not go any further. I had nothing to say to that.
I really don't. I don't even know what to say.
But Adam, you couldn't do that in any other car.
Like like you could do it in a Ford because you get away with it because you'd be like, Oh yeah, it's just a Ford.
It'll it'll it's like you. Know what?
I'll bounce back. It'll bounce back.
You do that in like a BMW or? Like all over.
Right. No, I take that back.
If it's a bottom of the line like 846, then yes, you could do it with. Fine.
Anything that's like it's, it's up there in value.
Because you been spending four times more with the cars were just on the box, that is true. But I think the biggest thing is
it's so easy to get parts in the records for that for the Falcon.
It's a. Fall and that's that's going
away. You know that's that's not good.
What's going to be the next thing that's gonna be easy to get parts for the record? Well, at the moment, like we
went to the records last weekend because I was getting parts for the disco one. Don't you start on inviting
stuff like that that make you start on you?
I wish we had a pick apart here like we had in Sydney, where you could just walk in and get what you want.
Yeah, And sometimes, especially with me, when I take stuff off other cars and make it work on this car, you don't know until you see it you. Know well that that's what's
good about where we went, we went.
There's $1,000,000 idea to do a wreckers with like a campsite and a pub in the middle of it and just make it a matter, you know. So yeah, come to the pub, stay
in one of the thousand wrecked caravans that we've got there, you know, and then spend the whole day with you mates in the wrecking yard or it would be fantastic.
I'd be fun. Oh man, Well yeah, we went.
We went around to like The Wreckers last weekend.
And they just got a disco one. As in like 2 days before I went.
So I'm like, oh sweet fresh car. Walked in there and half of the
parts already been stripped off in the day and I'm like, are you serious? Like because it's not a car that
normally goes in but then my mate needed.
A steering wheel for his girlfriend, FG.
So it will start going through all the Ford parts and there's like 6 FG's that are there with everything still like perfect because it's just so many readily.
Available. So what's going to be the next?
What's going to be the next? I mean, gets, maybe, But even
then they're getting ready now. Got half for sure.
Yeah, I heard those cars. Camrys and and and and and the.
Yeah, but see the issue. With Tesla's maybe.
Well, Tesla's a hard because of the batteries, but did you need a technician to take the battery out but the used?
Yeah, they say that, but eventually everyone will.
Be No, I don't think that they're allowed to Tesla.
I'm actually doing a course at the moment on how to do the services on Teslas. I I don't know if you're allowed
to. Sell it business wise, parts for
pizzas because they've still got.
What was it? I think it was Tesla themselves
the saying only certain companies are allowed to sell their parts. From business.
Point of view or second name? I know it's new.
I don't know how they're going with that second hand, though.
I remember don't get that through something else.
Because I remember when I was at the company I was before here, which we sold all European car parts.
We we used to sell some Tesla stuff, but we very, very odd.
Because they they monitor what you can and what you can't sell, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just be interesting because I I absolutely think that like Kia Stingers are going to be the the sought after ones.
They're going to be like XYZ are now and XP's.
I think in 20 years time people are going to pay megabucks for a Stinger. Imagine it's funny because like
cars like for example like the Stinger and stuff, there were affordable performance. And I think affordable
performance is always more in my eyes like remembered fondly than like let's say you know C63 or stuff like that because they were quite unattainable. So this is the reason why
Commodores and Falcons and dare dare I say it, you know Kias and stuff. Like now you know they're
getting quite fun like have fun memories for because because of because of that, you know, I mean so.
So yeah, I personally think that in terms of what's gonna be up, the records in and often it's just gonna be all SUV's, it's gonna be holding tracks. Yeah, that's true.
Rangers. Everest.
Everest. It's gonna be another single
Ranger has. Geez.
God, I've done so many of them. I've been there a year now and I
reckon I've done more than. Anything else, and they're
absolutely they go across the back of the engine at the firewall, you're going to drop the gearbox and have the whole thing lying down so you can get over the top of it and get it out, apparently. Apparently you have to do them
too, because like if you don't they like it's quite it's it's a well knowing that. They'll kill the coolant ends up
in the intake. But she don't want.
Have nothing to say to it, but like it's not just like the whole the whole diesel. Kind of.
I mean they all do it. But yeah, just say sorry, just
the basic 50s, which is also the same girl.
But the best OPS all all all these, you know, these DPF and stuff like they're causing more problems than they are, than they. Are, yeah.
And you gotta wonder, like, how much?
How bad was it for the environment for the making them in the first place? Yeah, it did.
Manufacturing them hurt them environment more than people running them for six months until they die and then having to get another one. Well, here's the thing like the
amount of like Hiluxes and stuff.
I see diesels that are that are doing a DPF burn and the smoke that's pouring out of him. I'm not.
I'm like it's negating all the workers doing anyway.
So I'm not like what is what is the point?
Like what is the point? So I don't.
Know. It's the perception.
They just need to look like they're doing the right thing.
It's like the whole electrical car market.
Yeah, makes it look like it's doing better for the environment. But those batteries are not
environmental, environmentally friendly.
Well, look at that guy. Look at that shit that's burning
over in in in in in the Fremantle.
Kind of that. That Channel channel, the evil
people like, I only have 28 days on that it's had 500 ATV's on.
There, yeah. And they're in thermal run
runaway. That, that, that that's not,
that's not going out for food for for weeks.
If that was a petrol powered car would be out within it within a day and this is you know this is that these are these are just it's a nightmare. I yeah, I just don't think it's
the answer at the moment. Well, the.
Harder, because I'm performance based and I love driving cars.
Like just that acceleration. You can't get it from anything
else. Yes, she can.
What? Yes you can.
What accelerates better than an electric vehicle?
Dodge Damon, 170. No, you quick and fast are two
different. Things 02, A hundred in 1.66
seconds, which is more than a Tesla fact.
That has to be. Ah yeah, but different scenarios
as well, right? That dodge is on.
Doesn't matter. It's 170 proof.
Alcohol doesn't matter. It's quicker.
It has to be in optimal conditions on a prep track.
With doesn't matter, it is quicker. 99% of the time it will
not be quicker. It is quicker, doesn't matter.
Alright, well let's see what happens when they put the plate on this. Actually was going to say that
is we the Hammer ATV's. Unfortunately, they had.
A. Have you seen them?
Honestly, I think they're quite cool.
But. See how much they weigh.
Like 5 tonne. Bridges here that you would be
allowed to drive from over. 100% you couldn't take it to capital
anyway. But I have.
This in the range isn't that great.
It's got more battery capacity than any other electric vehicle, commercial vehicle you can buy and it's still got shit range because they've upped, they've just ran all the levels up.
They're going right, let's give it the most batteries we can.
And because they've got the most batteries, that's got the most weight, so it's just brought it back down and they haven't got the range. Did you hear what happened with
the batteries? All the hammer avenues that have
gone out had to go back because they've got a battery fault, so they've had to replace them and the only way to replace them is going to take like it's it's like the body comes off the chassis because that's where the battery is in the actual chassis itself. Goes back to where I say
environmentally friendly, they're not.
Because all those batteries are in those cars.
What do you do with them? You can't break them down for
anything. So they're just gonna.
Say let's let's not badmouth lithium because I live in WA and we mine. Don't get a recession is your
state, Mr Mr Ward. It's not just our state we're
in. Yeah, they're, they're cracking

You was gonna say pure shit, but yeah, but you know, I'm a nice guy. I'm not gonna say those things.
No, we'll we'll we'll we'll have to, we'll have to do one of these again very, very soon. It's been good to do a kickback
again because it's, you know. We're gonna have to do van
updates, gonna have to get Rob on, and absolutely.
It's on. Rob was going to come on
tonight, but he had something on so.
But it would be cool to compare, compare vans, compare the transit. Transit.
