The times we got a surprising bill...

Does professional idiot. Welcome to talk on listeners,

which is probably three of them. And then to the regular podcast

listeners life through the power of the internet, are you going?

I am joined in this. Do are in the digital Studio or

seven main Studio, where I met DJ want to link the main host that the Big Daddy. Thank you.

Thank you, mr. Scott Johnson has gone.

I'm doing very well. Thank you.

Good luck to you mr. Edward montagu sort of State dr.

Don't think I'm not a doctor. You know, you pretty much past

the doctor test. As we found one exam, question

that I only make my clot blood clot.

Yeah, blood Club. Yeah, that's the answer to

everything. Before we get started edited my

condolences to to you, to me, what I haven't really lost anyone. But I assume you're talking

about Barry. Humphries I am is a Good

Wonderful comedian a very professional man and yeah, I'm a big fan of P. So it's a sad week.

Have you actually met him in real life?

No, I haven't the closest I ever came was when I used to work for a company who there was a, there was a temp guy, working for us.

And his wife worked for a magazine in Sydney with berries, son worked. So we cannot to this plan.

Well, I rang up the magazine and asked Amanda to talk to someone else. You know, there's someone else

on the star as Dame Edna and they believed it and so they questioned his son and said hello and he said no, no dad would never do that and so proud of you.

Bang, Barry, who was skiing in Switzerland and said did you just bring my work? And he was like, no sir and then

we had to come clean as to what we've done.

But yeah so that that's the closest I ever got to bury me Pawns of Paca Street lost. Its most famous member.

That's right in Dame Edna who I was lucky.

I had the privilege of you behind me on my wall.

Edna's. I was lucky enough to go see

with you live and words. There were those are there?

Those are really those are lovely evening but we yeah I think the world lost a very influential comedian.

That's right. That's right.

I mean the the LTD song was based upon a little.

Yeah yeah it's just that you know we've lost we've lost that cultural attache to Australia. Soul is you know the

consistently drunk smoking, you know, slob of a man who represented Australia. So Yeah, it's a sad week.

It is, it is very much a great long weekend, absolutely again.

And I was going to say it is Anzac day today, so we do remember our fallen soldiers who have gone before us said, to protect this lovely country, which we call Australia.

So we remember them. We could fit that in,

definitely, before we get into the main bits of the show.

But uh, how are you going my friend?

And I got a bone to pick with you.

Doing all right, pink away. C63 what it's a car on sale

thinking of some stuff. What what what's made you say?

Oh, you know, what wouldn't mind ones?

I've always wanted one, I'm just saying it's just I've been looking at a couple things to possibly go halfsies on with my brother-in-law and it's one of the cars that are up for auction. The other car is a ChapStick

GTR, okay? So, and when you have in the

money it kind of The difference is not as significant.

Hmm, obviously the still a significant but yeah.

It was probably going to be pressure towards the tail end of this year if it was going to go down or not.

Yeah but that's what I kind of had my eye on and you mentioned that your brother was getting her here.

So yeah, I thought you know, if I'm going to buy Lon, why buy one from a stranger one, by one that I'm going to kind of person. He's, he's Lucas selling his

Medi. He is, yes, he bought it.

I know he doesn't want to sell it but he's like a great.

Yeah, pretty much. That's, that's the the fair

reason unfold. So he's like, yeah, I need a

need to move it on now. Pay for other things.

Probably want to put another bigger turbo on it, on his F6 because he's just like that. So I said to him.

Why, why why? And then, shame shame shame.

So I did the whole What's his name?

Darren hinge. I'm like, that's that's a

beautiful car while we know why today, there is no tears, you've got a m156 with nothing wrong with it.

Like that is the perfect example because the toy cars he does he does but 11 years, he's got these, got their Ford.

What's the other? Did you have anything else?

Well, we still got that WX. We got a going to start tearing

into we haven't even started where enemies?

Yeah, I forgot you had that. Yeah, still got that, it's just

sitting there. So We can actually pull them

out. On that note, I'm going to speak

to him one. We're going to start that but

anyway it's a bit hard now that he's got a kid.

But yeah, we'll have to have to definitely start doing that.

But Alum card, those with you obviously you're getting into c63s know, just just speculating at the moment.

I'm not getting anything speculate, he says?

Yeah, apart from that, the X5 has been on the road quite a bit lately, good. But after I think last week's

Conversation with mr. Derek Prince you know throwing

down the the soft-top whenever I get a chance now.

So I've been doing these especially these last couple days it's actually been either in the 20s.

Think Lawrence as we know Sunset comes here.

Yeah. So you know reflects these

pythons and know it's a quite enjoyed just yet top down and explore driving. I've also decided that yeah, I

do like the engine noise but occasionally, you know, it's not too bad to put in a couple of If once, you know, it has a little bit and just having a real comfortable ride as well, it's been a pretty good pretty good experience overall, just kind of reminding myself that this is a convertible.

It's my ticket and rival, top-down enjoy it a little bit like that. That's right.

Absolutely Scotty. So I wasn't on last week, but in

between that time, I haven't done too much.

I've been doing a little bit of ground work, just digging around, but getting the Wheel Fix for the 31.

Give the Subaru or wash, that's pretty much about it.

Unfortunately. Well, actually I did go to

Supernova and it's a place where there's like a little shot there and they sold almost like Initial D, kind of artwork.

Yeah, it is here. So he's number one.

Nah, that's cool. That's like a line to it.

Yeah and Sook that's very cool. Silhouette one of our 31.

That's cool. I like that.

That's classy. It is black and white line

drawing. Very good.

And then this fun 34. Yeah, lovely.

I do have a few of these other other stuff but that's it.

Mom, and Dad's house. So, got a couple of that he's

other work. And yeah, when I went there, we

had these new prints there and I thought, yeah, I need it.

Absolutely. So grab those to add to the

collection. Listeners is just a big, I guess

Comic-Con style festival, there's a lot of interesting different things to a lot of Pop Culture.

Things were lying to, you know, more than sci-fi stuff as well.

And of course your flick our notes, some cop stuff, great, great free to get in not that I'm endorsing.

This is Euro Cup in high-vis vest with a couple of electrical cables and microphones and microphone, be a stuff.

And In Ferrari, get out. Yeah, we don't condone it, but

we do concern at the same time. So I mean, I've done it several

years in a row so don't be like a whole bunch of people that rocking up to be fair. I was with one person that did

technically work there but the the majority of us definitely not. That's hilarious.

You know, so it's a great time it would make me I think I missed a week last week. Maybe you, did you sell that?

Horrible vehicle that we W that got passed in and it's currently being sold again where he threw the same auction house.

And yeah so that finishes tomorrow night.

So yeah. Longer reserved I have yeah I

have so we'll see what happens there.

I was driving the Scamper week last week which was great fun.

I really enjoyed. Commuting into South Melbourne

and back in that and it's very economical to, which is always good. And I like the automatic, you

know, it's good in traffic. So I was just singing down

seeing down Dandenong Road and thinking, back again and going.

Have fun. Is this thing?

It looks in that car. So I'm excited to put that away

again. Now because I went away for the

weekend Toad, the old Caravan. So I needed to pay yarrow to do

that and that's always fun. But yeah.

On Sunday. I think it was with someday.

Yeah, someday our friend Tommy who's been on the show with these 93 Range, Rover, Vogue SE or no provoke, plus his curries.

It's got the electronic Estes, pension that, he's mended.

And so it actually works. We went off roading up in the

High Country. So we did a few nice steep

trails and the hair was funny. Most of it was fairly tame like

it was challenging but not crazy challenging.

Nothing that me all the car couldn't handle but We got to the very end of these trial in. It was basically you drive down,

a rocky Cliff face into a river. And so you kind of had to be

very conscious of what line you took.

Because if you went to faster took the wrong line, you would literally rip off Bull Bar damage seals you know, bus stuff. So and I was sort of I got

halfway down and sort of went. There's I'm going to damage

something. This is you know, this is my car

is Boggs doc. You know, there's no it's not

lifted, doesn't have bash plates underneath.

With it does have a rear diff lock, which is Factory.

So I had low range. Everything send a diff lock rear

diff lock, first gear, kirino crawler gear and I was still on the brakes, it was that steep. Well anyway with a bit of, you

know, head out the window and guidance and people yelling and don't go on that rock, go on this rock, you know you, we got down and I didn't damage anything, it was a miracle and then people like, and then you in the river and like, are the rivers easy bit, you know, once you're in the river, just plant it. Plow through that was.

All right. And I don't have a snorkasaurus

know it but it wasn't that deep. So that the pageant very well.

And then Tommy came down in this Range Rover on a different line to me and it was still treacherous like, you know, when you can see the whole roof of the car and you're standing horizontal that it's like, oh that's quite steep is normally out to the roof of the car. It's like a bird's eye view

something. So he did very well and crawled

down and didn't damage anything either.

But We had to go. Yeah, really pick your line.

But yeah that was fun that was Sunday.

So it's just been a caravan full drive, he sort of weekend.

Do you use a whole tank of fuel getting down that Hill because it's not a whole tank doing that, you know, used to be there was very the last bit were right.

Right on top of this mountain region.

Then it's basically like, ah, are you wanting to go down now, you know, and the road just does these huge, you know, tips, and then those washouts and then the dips in the wash outs and you.

So you're going up and over up and over and then all of a sudden area of the bottom of this River thing.

So, They really took you down incredibly steeply.

I was again on the brakes first year, low range dibs, or locked in everything that, you know, it's steep.

When you're on the brakes, even in first gear low does that, how does it, does it have Hill descent control?

No, no. It's got none of that.

Just normal normal old-school all-wheel-drive, then when you put it in the low range standard def locked, it gets rid of the traction control, which is good. Good.

So you don't have any of that electronic trickery trying to sort of do it stuff for, you know, you just basically raw mechanical which is what you want.

Yeah, well, I mean, instead of having distinct Hill descent control, you had the same control because I think exactly right. Exactly, right.

But that's, it's probably the most.

Yeah. In fact, it would be the most

hardcore I've done in that car since owning it.

So it would like I have done for driving a bit.

Yet wasn't as tough as what we did on Sunday.

So that was, it was good. It was a good test.

They are incredibly capable. Those four jurors that very,

very capable which is actually, Like, the guy who ran the camp ground, which is about probably 20 minutes down the road from where we were, he was chatting to me this morning and said that, he said I had one of these.

It was brilliant. Yeah.

Did all the tracks up in up in that state park where we went.

I said I'm going to 200 series Landcruiser now because I just needed more space. You know, the seven seats were a

bit small in the pageant but he said, I it was great to did all that without without a hitch. There was some guys coming the

other way, going through the river and then up the rock wall.

That was interesting. So, There was one in a fairly

stock Prado that did a bit of scraping underneath.

They came up at quite a bit of speed and then a couple of you know young louts in a high like still Cabot was Jack jacked into the sky and they had a few goes out it just because they could and lines and spinning wheels and blah blah blah.

So they did well. Yeah, fun to watch.

I think my friends were sort of standing there because Tommy's full done for driving, often for driving.

But are other two friends who are there sort of hadn't and you know, Volvo Alex, he was there, he had.

So there are also standing there watching going.

Holy hell like what is this? Do.

Eat oh should we be worried? Yeah.

Yeah. It's like no no.

We're not you know, kind of role that they like know that's going to happen. It's just more.

Yeah, you got to be real careful on the Rocks.

I'm more interested in. Mud and slush and challenging

things like that, that really don't hurt the car.

Whereas if you're going down narrow tracks, you just destroy you paint. If you're going Boulder hopping,

you just Den stuff, you know, your snap suspension and dense seals and that gets expensive fun.

What about you not much for me on in the car?

Frank, I was away last week I got back or to Adelaide and got a rental car. I got my ears stomach or

similar. And I got a free upgrade because

that's what happens is because as you know, but it's and I was like I was waiting for them to say your new mg but instead I got a brand-new Toyota RAV4, which was nice.

So say was actually was an upgrade.

So it wasn't a hybrid one, but it was still quite quite fuel-efficient. And the V6 with a 200 kilowatts.

I don't think they do than anyone.

Yeah, which is a shame. Original hybrid V6 ruffled,

that'd be, that'd be sick. I drove that and and had a good

go at that. But I just want to say in

Adelaide, I'm surprised at how many older cars are on the road there. And I was speaking to Steve

about this and she's like, yeah, it's because we don't have to do a roadworthy when we when we change them into someone else's name so you can just transfer it into an island.

Just keep your. I thought that many cars from

the 70s I saw old Corollas, old dutson's.

Also everything and I was I was like, yeah this is this is this is cool, like I get this but it seems that the cards are actually in half the Saint Nick to like that.

You know, they don't they're driving fine and they'll quiet like this, this early Corolla past me.

Like it was like, it was just quite as I'm a well, that was remarkably quiet. So, yeah.

Cool Adelaide stories. That was got the ruffle valet

that at the hotel I was staying at which is, which is Be cool and I'm like a God my God my new rifle anyway I test drove the new Kia Sportage which I really liked.

I thought that was a really good car that the GT line in the diesel, lovely, car to drive. Yeah, really impressive, really

impressive. I can see how far he has come a

long way because I noticed I had a stinger.

Then I got talking to the guy and And says like oh I wouldn't mind having a look at the sport. I shouldn't have looked

supporters from took, we're driving me.

It was brilliant. We had some time to kill one

morning so we did that. So yeah, if you're I can see why

goddamn, you know, like a like a SUV of the year or whatever was because it's a cracking, the cracking thing, the dryer.

But anyway, that is virtually it.

On my end up just gotten back and gave the cars wash and it's a bit. It one of my end was made to go

to the records but somebody didn't call me random does today. Say that wasn't today, I've

Gilead of destroyed. No, I know.

I'm just trying to relax, man so high-maintenance.

I know I know. Anyway, moving on to tonight's

topic before you need to carve the week which will jump, which are brought back this week. Now I want to ask you guys a

question. Have you ever been to like, have

you ever gotten your car back from mechanical or even looked at looking at parts that that you were supposed to?

That they you might need and be like, holy hell, that's expensive. Like, that is a ridiculously

expensive. I cannot justify that.

Now, I got thinking about this before purely.

For the fact that my typhoon. For example, the clutch in.

That car is extremely expensive. It's a five thousand dollar

clutch. Yeah.

So it's an AP racing clutch from the UK very, very, very expensive and like 4-5 green installed or like, 4,000 something and, you know, just to buy it and that's trade price to my mom at the time. So she was like that's she's

like what have you do? Bees in your clutch, in your car

like? Yep.

Sure. See how that?

I would happily be your my car because I don't spent 4 grand.

Get a call. My mom gets a call from the guy

that was running the running that that board supports applying place that they were getting rid of all fpv stuff and they're like, yes it does. Your son of insulin that typhoon

and she's like, yes, he's like come over.

I've got a gift for him and it was that clot that the same class, but for 1,500 bucks. So, it was like, I was like, old

old out your end. I'll have one of those in my

spare Pockets. Have you ever been either one of

those? Got a new guy.

Like all crap. I didn't expect that or.

Wow. That's ridiculously expensive.

For what that is gentlemen. I guess I'll start because I've

got one of each basically. Right.

When I started uni, camera in 2019, I decided to get the w x so stay properly. So make sure everything was

going to be up to spec because I was in an approving 650k as possibly a couple times in a short timeframe.

So, So that, you know this, I also had changed mechanics.

So this is also, I guess shine at the other mechanic made another tough call my car, as I probably should have that.

Maybe he was letting things slide because once the directrix basically wants a new mechanic where she had a look at it, it needs a bit of work. They need a bit of work.

It started off as just leaking rocker cover gaskets, progressing to leaking Camp seals, and the engine was out.

And next thing I know some like, well, at this point, You might as well do the clutch because the engines already a and I come back to a five thousand dollar bill.

Wha yeah. So that was because I guess I

had no ask for updates either so I wasn't any updated with the price. I just a lot of the last pot.

I recall the building at was probably about 2,000 2,200, with mome estimates and understanding and then obviously had gotten a higher and higher with the clutch while.

Do you know why you had the, the boxer engine out you might as well do the spark plugs in there because, you know, Rather than you have to be in a reaching, the tiny hands as most mechanics have to unfortunately, yes, I was like you need to talk about as well, didn't you? Like because the capsules and

you have an attack outside and cover timing belt a new time about Kit? You know, that sort of thing and

those rules I believe genuine Subaru, parts also not necessarily the cheapest. So yeah, everything like at the

end of the day, obviously everything was priced properly, there's nothing exceeding its value or anything, but just yet everything in upcoming about five thousand dollars and I was like well that's that's a spicy meatball.

It's quite a shock but, you know, had pay for it and at the same time, like, looking at it now, what happenes, don't attract, what? We got four years down, the

track very regret, because my brother will still have that car. And that car is, you know, at

over 300,000 case, I think it's pretty close to about 320 at this point still going fine. You know, original head gaskets

that sort of thing. So the car is still running

quite fine, which I'm quite happy about.

It's not like It's needed any extensive repairs more recently.

So it was like that big Bill shock and start and you know the kind of that hit and but you know like I said it's not something I regret because the car still running if I'd like yeah wreck the car the next say something and for me that kind of thing would happen, I'm real pissed off but I guess do you mean inside I'm like like like a major like that's a major service for like in the car. Be fine for the next you know

seven to ten years really like it's easy.

Everything clots. You it's all done.

Yeah, so least like those things that have to be warned about like yeah you know with my wrong wall and hopefully if or when I get the car back if he thinks that you know I can at least a multi-block these were done by me and so they should be.

All right, so if we worry about them, the over price item, I'm going to go for is the good old MX-5 with its little tear in the soft top, where the window is a met that You know, when I was hit with just I decided to apply that on myself which giving it a hard to buy the stock from the US, that's going to cost me about someone range of depending on the exchange rate six and eighteen hundred dollars shipped to Australia.

So with that in mind kind of I thought, well if I'm going to have it brought in muzzle, awesome professionals, what they would charge to actually install it and they Bring it in.

Maybe they could get it for a trade stock price.

Not that I get to Discount, it's just probably package into the price and both points are hot for her well over three thousand dollars. So 3301 was like, 30 100 or

something. So the in our for a soft heart

replacement like yeah, I know I thirty three hurdles when again, if we take out the parts of the actual soft, top of, you know, 18, hurdles or thereabouts, You're still left with that one $1400 with the labor and again, I know being a mechanic not being a, you know, into your repair person.

I can't say I can guarantee that it doesn't take 14 hurdles with labor but again, I've also seen guides on how to do it and the people that when they know what they're doing, can get that kind of thing down in about six hours.

So almost like I should be able to shoot me paying a professional. You know what they are owed, but

Let's just say you're charging a ShopRite of 100 miles an hour.

And you know what you're doing, you can get a job done the six or seven hours. Twelve thirteen hundred $49.

Just feels quite a bit and just went over to me and you know maybe we could take a little longer but still let's just given us has always been a country known for kind of a high labor, right? But yeah the fact that the price

of the actual item itself is, you know, balancing the price of the labor. Don't rub me the wrong way.

So it's put me in the idea of DIY like give it a go, you know, again. I'm probably have a lot of

difficulty, but at the same time, I don't think it would be so difficult that I would rather pay somebody you know, 14 hurdles to actually get it done. We can all we can all come over

one night and just just Smash It Out.

Get it done. Yeah.

Like getting getting the actual soft-top out of the car.

That's again if you know what you're doing, that's about an hour's work. Not even if you don't know what

you don't like myself, maybe we'll take me to an hour.

Three hours. But that's, I'm willing to

sacrifice those extra extra bit of time to save potentially $1400. Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah. Like it just comes down to.

What's the task even something like pulling out a whole engine?

No, that's probably not in my sphere of things.

I'm willing to give a girl, because if you know that craps itself, I'm, you know, how I'm going to probably get the car total mechanic with a bunch of parts and stuff thrown, it was with this, all right? The tops, you know, not all back

on. I'll just But anyway on a sunny

day, get to the shop. And then you know, Haley penalty

that I will have to pay the because I've given it a go myself. The good old I'm trying to fix

it until you, you know, probably but that's always something I'm more willing to deal with them you know, more or less a mechanical kind of issue. Yeah well I'm seeing in China,

do it on Wheeler Dealers and I don't think it's much different from that one and probably exactly the same speaking of which the society. Okay, up there buddy pricing the

The software from the UK similar cars.

Obviously not the same blue one that I could but I wanted will cost about $1200. Plus come on and free shipping.

And if I was actually having to be in the UK Danish, she said it for free. Yeah.

David couldn't get up for you. He's in the UK.

He's hey, let's give the cast of do but that's it's so interesting to me that, you know, again, we're at this point. We live quite globally, you

know, we're going to bypass Pharisees, that sort of thing.

Is it really that different that, you know, with about twelve, thirteen hundred bucks, you could get soft fitted in one place where as here Looking at what 3233 hurdles?

That's just yeah. Can you get the exact same

color? Because I know the classics had

different colored tops. Yeah.

The colors are the blue ones and the one from Robins order.

Tops is blue with the glass rear window.

Electric to mr. Everything and that's why I'm

having to pay the extra bucks that like it ends up being the exact for right. You know, replacement The only

better I guess I can get as far from Master but Lord, as Master will not make them any more, and if they did make an approach, only five thousand dollars. Hmm.

Yeah. That's my story of Bill shock.

I guess we'll call it. Do you tell the episode as he's

got he tells having a thing. Again, is just one car that

comes to mind. Can you guess it?

Does it start with a b? And then with the w, Obviously

with the when I had the M3, a lot of work went into it.

Like it was very, very expensive.

They changed everything. I already knew it was going to

be expensive. So like expensive part I wasn't

going to mention the SMG because everyone knows that that's expensive anyway. It's like you know, seven eight

grand to get that one replaced and that's just a pump itself.

So there certainly pump, pretty expensive.

Done heaps, all gaskets everything for that.

So I thought you know this car is now absolutely bulletproof and couple of times afterwards. I'd put the key in the ignition

and go to turn it to start it and and nothing moved.

Just click, that's weird. And I've fiddled again and then

it will start my drive home but then one time it just completely gave up was like what's going on here because you know everything everything was working, you know?

You hear the fuel pump Prime and everything and just a click so hmm. Okay, so I thought, all right,

I'll get an auto electrician. Are they come out?

And they had no clue and then it got towed to the place that did all the work of my BMW in the first place.

So ended up back there again, they put up the Diagnostics and everything and they said that what's happening is when I put the key in, it's not saying that it's The transmission is in neutral, like, it should be, so it won't start.

And because of that, it's, it's some kind of module or something in there. That needs to be replaced.

I thought. Okay, that's cool.

No, dramas get that fixed when you can.

I think it was a few days later. Then I go into to pay in the

like our heels. Give me updates as I know it's

done this as well and we got, we got We change and give you a new key, I thought. Okay, great.

Whatever it takes. I need the car, obviously, going

to pay the bill and it was about three thousand eight hundred dollars. Wow.

So for me, having two keys and down to one key that the code the key, and what it did was fried a few things along the way in the ignition. So, it wasn't just the module

that the change has a few Things that were fried along the way they had to be replaced too. Yes, so that bill wasn't great

considering how much already spent on that car originally?

So not too happy on that one. Ouch.

Yeah that was that was painful when you bought the car, did it come with the road with you? Yes.

And what did you need to get fixed?

Like, I, how long did you before you really like holy crap.

This thing needs work. Couple weeks.

Well, okay. Oh yeah.

Borrow yeah, so anyway how can't really mention who they are but you know who is going to say? Yeah I'm playe.

So umm yes. But again that was a son,

running a little side business on his daddy's Turf.

Okay, I think you got, I didn't know you got your WX from there.

I'm on, I do and so I parked next to you.

Exotica, there was a little old Blow by WRX.

There was basically a little side kind of be a shed with her, like, trading cards and stuff here.

I think I sort of couple of BMWs there as well.

My gotta be some kind of talking about.

What about his sin, work-study? Hey, hey, yeah, you you learn

exactly what is a learning experiment.

You know, as long as you don't stop learning, I think it's fine. Let's go to look after the after

the Beamer. You got the you got the c43,

right? Yes.

Did you buy that from a dealer or was a private?

That was from a dealer in New South Wales.

Okay. And it was, it was pretty much

like a trade in swap. So there was a as a factory or

something, they must have or connected with in Melbourne, just in Altona. So I just drove the BMW there.

Signed away hand it over the Beemer and then drove out with Mercedes, right? You never had an issue with that

guy to do. No, it had leaking from the

transmission, but I got that all.

I got that all fixed. So I did a full full service and

they change the 12 spark, no, 16 spark plugs and they pulled the transmission filter out and everything and redid that and resealed it and fixed all that for me.

Other than that. Yep.

No drums with it. That was expensive in it.

Self really. But I thought that's just

because it's Mercedes. Yeah, that was about 3 Grand.

But one of the things we were told of, I guess I had a ton of them, we found this weekend. This.

Yeah, that that there's nothing that they found.

I went instead of just want to give it a service and transmission has a little bit of a leak which I already knew about previously anyway to buying it and they did all that and yeah, it's all good. I really like that car.

It sounded good to me. Every time he was released.

I was like, yeah, that's a that's a nice car.

Yeah, nice, nice little soft note but it did ya.

Like album says, it's all learning this stuff.

You sort of you can be really lucky with some cars and you just don't know any better, you know, and then you have a doozy and I mean those BMWs like Scotty had their just a dude.

Even if you buy great one, even if you bought the best one in existence with the lowest best history lies mileage and best history, shit, still going to go wrong with that car and it's still going to be We expect it for like, it's just that's what they do. So yeah, like mine but it's not

interrupt. I just gonna say mine as you're

saying it had full service history from who bullet that won't save. You, you know, it's here at lead

that model. This is what they do.

Whether your service them or don't service them, they're going to do this shit. So it hindsight's wonderful

thing with cars like that, because everyone learns those weak points. And, and then sometimes there's

some aftermarket fixes that come out that are cheaper than the Fix like, you know, that is class that I had with the aromatic. Suspension didn't put a foot

wrong aromatic was perfect in the four years.

I had it however, you know, it was at an age where enough of them had gone wrong that there were, you know, there were air bags available out of the u.s. There were compressors that

could be rebuilt out of the u.s. you reasonably cheaply.

They weren't cheap cheap but they were held lot, cheaper, them Sadie's Ben's doing it. So and we've said this before,

but, you know, when that car was three years old, for example, and still under warranty, Aren T you or not?

Or just out of warranty, your only option was to go back to Ben's you know it's a twenty dollar X.

So you know, there are bills like that the holy shit, you know, and you hear of people blowing up Volkswagen gearboxes, or Motors or whatever it might be.

And it's like, oh yeah, 15 grand for gearbox and 25 G promoter and you know that stuff does go on.

But when a car's 10 12, 13 14, 15 years old, there's enough of them that have been around the traps and then the Alternative mechanics of our year. We've seen that before we've

seen that before, there's a fix for that, someone's making a path for that out and have another Market that we can use.

And and you get to sort of know a bit, Yeah, you can get away with things a bit cheaper than you would have when it was three years old. But early on, I had an MG

Midget. My first job was, you know,

first full-time job where I was learning no money at all, but it was more money than I'd ever had.

So, I decided in that first year, I bought myself an MG Midget which was the Shhhh shhhh Sports convertible.

I'd always wanted and a new stereo for my bedroom.

So, it was like two things in the first year.

I am winning at life and the midget, I sort of did the right thing with that car because it was cosmetically restored.

It had been painted the interior been carpeted, Andre trimmed.

So it looked really good, but the motor hadn't been rebuilt.

That was the next thing on the guys.

Least it was the original motor. He was a 1275 a-series engine

same, as a Mini Cooper. S same as in my mug.

And it had the original twin Su carbs on it and what have you?

It was Smoky, it was leaking oil from between the head and the block. It was pretty down on power.

It wasn't a happy camper. So of course I got away with it

for a while. Are you drive around in it for a

bit? But I knew that I'm going to

have to do this motor. So I sniffed out a really good

operator who builds a series race motors for if you've ever watched the historic racing Bathurst when they have the Austin-Healey Sprite, Rights and the MG Midget, and The Minis, and the Falcons, and from the 60s, he builds a lot of the motors that go into those Sprites, so he knows his way around that engine. So I started him out and a

friend of mine, had his engine done by him and he said, yeah, he's not the cheapest but he's very, very good great.

So I got him to do everything on it and the whole time we were talking about it, you know, is how much is this?

How much is that? It was very budget-conscious

because I didn't have a lot of spare money.

I was earning bugger-all. I'd already paid for the car

borrowed. If my dad buy the car, you know,

was paying that back so you know, conscious of yeah he was like okay it's going to be three grand.

It's three and a half Grand but you know, the we always talked about that sort of dollar level, which was this is near.

It's not now money. This is talking like no 1998,

1999 money so you know I got the bill at the end and it was six thousand and something dollars. It was like double cheese and

I'm like well where were the whole way along?

We've been talking about 32 33, 35, you know, and he was, I call you, but there's labor on top of that.

I like you, you never mentioned the about this later.

When I say how much is something, I mean, how much is something like if you tell me it's 500 to do the carbs then it's 500 to do the Cubs not 500 plus 400 labor.

Then tell me that you know, tell me it's 900 to do the Cups so I was really pissed off because I was 20 or 21, I got was wasn't very old. I I'm dealt with a lot of

mechanics in that, doing that sort of work.

Then I'm just like, mate communicate, the total dollar value don't? Yeah, I just couldn't believe

you were talking dollars. That didn't include labor

Warfare. I'm playing at home.

What current inflationary dollars that would be about eleven thousand dollars? Yeah, that sound that's about,

right? And if you want to rebuild a

nice series motor, now, it's that's kind of where you're at.

So my God. I had to, I said to him, why

can't I can't pay the bill. Like, I don't, I've budgeted for

what you've talked about and now it's nearly double like, what are you doing? Anyway, so my dad loaned me some

more money and then I just had to chip away and pay that off, but the motor itself and the work you did was brilliant.

You know, I did 23,000 miles on that motor, which was nothing really, it was always very well serviced and it was running really sweetly the whole time. I never had an issue with it.

I would have driven that car anywhere, you know, mechanically with that engine. So good work, but just not

communicated very well. Did you said you put a race

engine in that car? No.

No. It was original motor but I just

had it warmed. It was a warm Road motor and,

you know, he would build race mode is that would read out to 8000 RPM and scream their way down the Bathurst straight.

But round the corners, you know, the these things were high compression engines, they would do a tune and tweak to within an inch of their life. And you can get a lot of power

out of that motor with the right tuning and tweaking but we discussed at the start and I said, look this is this is a road car, this is not a race car, I don't have roll bars in it, I'm not taking it on a track.

Like I just want to warm Road and mode.

I want to take what mg did back in the day and just tweak it.

So we did things like it. Had Cooper S pistons in it,

which were slightly better quality Piston from memory.

We had the crankshaft sort of honed.

We had the Slightly ported. So just breathe better.

High ratio rocker arms in it, which gave a bit more performance. It has slightly lightened

flywheel. We put a web of carb on it.

With we've talked about this before but, you know, jetted down, so you get better flow. There's no point bulkier Weber

on. If you got a massive jets in it,

you know, it's sort of like the way you described.

It was like if you've got a massive pipe and you Chuck water into it, it's just going to dribble through but if you've got a smaller pipe in your chair, the same matter what it's going to flow through faster because at that restriction.

So a lot of people with their carbs will ye not not just the web is down. So they'll scream at 8000 RPM

that we brilliant but at 2,000 RPM coming around a corner.

In second gear useless, they will choke up and they're not running, right? So he'd done a lot of research

on those Motors and and a lot of building of them.

So he just knew what to do. You know?

He was like Yep. This this this, this.

That'll get you this result and it was great.

It was a really dry. Double Road motor.

It had a hot cabinet to the minute.

Yeah, mild camshaft. So you'd feel it, you know,

you'd sort of get and it, but it wasn't too lumpy, it wasn't too crazy ground that it, that it was that I would entitle.

You know, stupid, lumpy cams like but but the traffic lights and then you get him revving. And then they're like, Mom and

they're on song. This thing was was had a hard

was fine, but you'd still feel that pick up sort of 3,800 on, so it really came alive. At the top end.

It was it was great. I really really like that motor

and dare. I say I'm a well, I'm a well if

ever I needed a series motor built, get him to do the next one. But you're going in with your

eyes open going. All right, what's this going to

cost me including labor? Yeah, so you learn this stuff as

a youngster and looked every I've had other Big Bill's.

Don't worry about that over the years but you sort of, I don't know. You become a bit more Savvy.

Bit more wary. What's going to cost what and

you get a bit smarter about where to go for certain things, you know, what can you skimp on? What can I ask him?

One of them that I had. This was stupid, a little Honda

Civic, like, a needy Civic hatch, a while a few years ago that I bought and sold, and that it needed tires.

And normally, for top buyers, I'll go to our favorite Rekha because they have a selection of roadworthy ties, then most of them and then you that come off cars in the yard.

So, you know, if you want a 13 14 15 inch tire there, they're really cheap. And they're good, you know,

there's nothing wrong with them so you can get a full set of tires for 120 bucks that it didn't really use.

I've done that numerous times and I like the fact to its recycling. You know you're not they don't

just go to landfill, I'm you. And if it's just a achebe's buy

and sell Honda or a master of something, it's like well these are perfectly adequate ties. Anyway, I'd taken it into this

McCain to get a road in. It really didn't need anything

other than tires and they said, I join me to put tires and I don't know. Yeah.

Right. You know, they're like 14-inch

man. It's like, I thought, how

expensive can these things be like, they're 80 bucks?

At I 70 bucks at? I, you know, I'm going to build

for like 550 bucks or something. And I'm like, Mike, what did you

put on this Pirelli P Zeros or something?

Because all, that's all I could get, and I'm thinking that's bullshit thinking, anyway, I wasn't happy about that, but then there's other things, that, that a way cheaper than you think. Like, I think I've told this

story to, but I had a Mercedes, 190 Emmanuel Factory manual Australia and delivered car, which is quite rare.

R and it needed a new gear shift rubber, you know, the gator around the gear shift was busted.

Now, that's a very specific Gator on that car.

They didn't sell a lot of manuals in Australia.

They did in Europe more. So, but I just assumed not

knowing any better. That, that part would be really

pricey. So I went into Autobahn has

super cheap and or, you know, rep car.

And I was like, oh, what have you gotten?

They had the generic rubber Gators and to they weren't the same and they didn't fit the console with the wood around it and you know, all of that. So I kind of went what are we

going to do on it? Any and I just rang Mercedes

tour. A couple places and said, hey,

got this dotted, are they looked at the part number?

Yeah, we've got one of those $20.

And I like eating me and they're not 20 bucks, you can get in stock tomorrow. I'm like Hallelujah, you know,

so, and it's obviously a part that didn't move a lot in Australia, they probably had one on a shelf that they discounted the hell out of just to move it. And it just goes to show, it's

always worth just ringing the manufacturer first to get that.

Line in the Sand because you might be surprised another time.

I went to the Fraser Island in my old Discovery and I cracked the headlights around, which is that black plastic sort of, you know, aperture that goes around the square headlight and they're get old and they're brittle, and their horrible.

Anyway, I rang, I rang. I looked online and ever.

And in the end I just rang Land Rover, the end of my street, there's a Land Rover dealer. And they basically said, I, you

know, we've got two parts clearance.

Yeah, yeah. We've got some of those on the

Shelf here. Hundred bucks a pair, so I

replaced the broken one, but then I had to replace the One because otherwise, it'll look funny.

Having one, new one old, but 100 bucks the pyramid.

We could go wrong. Look, I can't get them anywhere

for that. So it's sort of worth trying

that stuff for an older car because you never know what the deal is just about sitting around.

Well that's why I think I scored well on the typhoon clutch because they'll just piss you off all the fpv.

Stuff like that, they were getting rid of it.

They didn't want to have it in stock anymore because they were all moving anything to do with Australian made Ford's out the door. Yeah.

And I think, I just got lucky, like, the fact that he were here with the That you remembered, I had had a early death and, and he's like, was like, look, you know, even after market clutches for that car, 1,500 bucks. Like that's so so he's always

like, you're putting the genuine clutch back in it, which is, which is going against, just sitting there doing nothing.

But, you know, they'll be that day that I'll need the clutch, and I'll be like, oh, I really probably paid for, it's just work it in. Yeah, no, yeah, you're right.

You're right with that. There you go.

So, sometimes we win. Sometimes we lose.

I'll talk to check the dealer. It would be lower.

Check the deal. Yep.

Lost topic of this evening. Before we get into the quiz is

car of the week with the rules are ten thousand dollars or cheaper. Or if that's the case that I'll

send mine through. Yep.

To you ready? All right, here we go.

So Alum please explain what this is what?

I share the screen. So this is the almighty.

A you Falcon the 2001? Xr6 tickford.

You know it's a very red currently does not come with a registration or road with me, but it did pass orders not to long ago so it really wouldn't need that much.

It looks quite nice for sage but we yeah.

Given its age. It would maybe we need a bit of

a cut and polish comes with space at a wheels and he'd spare parts. It's pretty tight inside.

Yeah, you look, it's good. It's got to a nice example case,

but that's 4K as you know, that that's the minimum would come with. Yeah.

And for I'd say I use especially like regular like non xr6, a user, going pretty, because we will again use them off to drift cars, and that sort of thing we will really warm welcome to these. So for an actual, you know,

exercise which is all the all the to call it, the extra special 24 bits and everything else.

I'd say it's pretty well worth it at a prison, some 4,500 dollars. Absolutely.

Now especially with the fist spare parts and everything else, Just the fact that you're giving to an excise tax rather than you know you started Forte or whatever.

So that's that's why I've brought to the race and you can Direction until it's actually it's actually not bad.

It actually looks really tidy. Yeah it looks like it.

Look at it needs a few think it looks like it needs a few things here and there but my only issue with that it's not the VCT that with a variable cam timing when it's the it's the, the cheaper 06. And that one didn't come with

IRS at the come with a live axle, which is good for you food for your drifting people because if they want on their one.

Like someone that would be the one to go with.

He's property five into it, you know.

And then yeah, well Dad, if and you're good to go good together.

Absolutely. And how is it was?

This is what we were talking about nose.

And yeah. Located machuca.

You know, one of the greatest places in Victoria.

Hey that's not bad. Oh, I liked on these hair.

On their heads, I said take food because because if they were they were they had like the they'll kind of be in ticket enhanced cams and excetera. So so that that is that It's

pretty cool. I like it.

I like it man. Scotty on them.

No fortune after bouncing a gentleman.

Oh good idea. But that's my vote I'm going for

that. Sir, let me know if I win.

I better win. She has a good weight.

Certainly very many catch you later.

Thank you very much. Yeah me.

Okay that's the sharing works. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

That is working very well. See, 240.

Well, I have six cylinder. Six cylinder, the six-cylinder.

You like a 2002? Don't you Scurry?

I don't know why it's something about.

I just really like the 2020s. There are gonna love it to her

too. Yes.

So this one's got, you know, 200 something thousand, cases Interiors. I mean, you just get the

steering wheel redone and stuff like that, so I don't know why people go for that. Colored interior, cream and tan

and all that. Yeah, does not age.

Well, no, I like it. It's nice and light.

It makes it feel arrey arrey. But yeah, it comes with

everything that you want doesn't seem to have any dramas.

He's saying, you know, it's been the most reliable car.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. No, major mechanics use the last

six years. So I had it for a long time

regularly. See service checkup with Merck,

talk specialist, a month ago, car has insulted condition new battery installed obviously for its agents 1999.

It's got some scratches and things like that, so it has pink bubbling front left corner, but it's all stuff that you could pitch in to fix conserving. You're only paying 38:54, that's

good value. That's a lot of, that's a lot of

car for 30 years. Very good.

Yeah, where is that car? New South Wales?

Mmm, it's good. Saif, is that it was a local.

I'm not going to bite their. Yeah, so it's 220 thousand

cases. It's not much on her doesn't

3850, Karl Popper more Grand in it and get it looking.

Absolutely Fresh. You dare for a road trip to pick

this thing up. I really like it.

So let's go. Yeah, I mean if I was to get

another 20 to, it would be a six cylinder at Yes, absolutely.

I completely agree with you there.

That actually looks really good and really original for the case, I like that. I really like that a lot.

I was just gonna for the price and where is it down here?

Isn't it? Let's see, 36 with 200,000 case

on it for 35 990. Mmm.

But they have gone up and I think those are safe.

There's a 43 than 34,000. And now and I bought mine for

about 17 or 18,000 well quite a few years ago now though.

Obviously I still was inevitable that they'd jump up in price.

I'm amazed it's a drop down that far really, that amazed me, but let's shift knob looks a little bit different, a bit tacky, that's not the original. My didn't have a wood grain.

No mine. Had like the carbon fiber

pretend carbon fiber. Look not the would you could get

that on those? Oh, yeah, so it made it look

that little bit more sporty. Everything else is identical and

clean and that 12 air filters in the damn thing.

Yeah, it's right by to hand over that.

And the funny thing about that is when I went to a place that they already had Canaan ones in there, so Edwards.

You found it was me yet. Found something that interests

me. It's a 1969.

Citroen ID, 19. So this is the dies.

Mmm, it is a little bit of a Resto project but it looks like a very original. I'm going to hold my phone up to

the screen on my please, you'll see there.

The original Citroen DS. This is nine thousand dollars in

wa Ray. He's written quite a lot of

lengthy words about it. It's quite an early DS coz I

said, that'll be nearly dies early dies because it's got the honor to cut the later. Headlights on.

It's like a puppy too early. But yeah that that caught my eye

because then they're not like a 9 Grand car normally but he says basically it's rare So project dry stored since the mid to late 80s and then he's gone on to talk about the history of the provenance of the car. Iron.

Yeah, sounds like it. Yeah, it needs.

It needs to be very commissioned.

Bit like your auntie. Matthew do that when you're

starting at 9 K? Well, hey, you know, we're doing

but I ain't that crazy. What's a, what's a, how much do

they usually go? Really nice line is sort of like

35 40, 50, 60, you know, like I think they want to bring the biggest money. Tend to be the 25 years. 25 per

layer switch is Al Pele which are the biggest engine.

And the the most plush Shrim but they all look the same.

Yes see one sitting on top of a container almost every single day driving to and from work really?

Yeah so one driving today and I've seen lately frosted now just sitting on top of an old shipping container.

Yeah gosh they're cool car. I've never driven one, I would

love to but yeah. God starting at night even if

you sort of got that 48 and your tip, 10 into it near at 18, and you might have a bit of a Rat Rod, you know, just a usable car, that's mechanically okay. But you know it's cuff around

the body. I went to a voxi show actually a

couple of weekends ago and it was there was just any voxi.

So but old stuff like are called stuff and there were quite a number of calm bees and beetles that were ready as hell.

You know, deliberately ratting mechanically beautiful and they just look so good. There was one in particular that

literally look like would be dragged out of a swamp and But just, you know you yeah, I love that.

I love that because it's just so usable knowing your motor around and just look, you don't worry about it, just looks great.

So I commend people that can pull off the ratty, look, well.

So we've got the Citroën DS that needs money tipped in.

We've got Scotty's Elmsford, was it?

The Exile 6, OU X i6. And I'm going to show you guys

before territory. This one here is a black 40s

territory. So, TS is mid spec, it's fair,

it's been, it's been turbo mode. So it looks all stock.

Yeah. And then you get to there and

someone's put a lot of money into it.

It's not a fact feature, but it is Turbo now.

It's sort of factory to her but it started out but like mixed like it. It looks like a really honest

clean car. Like, it looks really affect the

original, a little boost gauge, their kind of gives it away.

But everything else looks super duper original which I actually really like it. So, basically says here to

turbocharge territory with roadworthy in Reggio ECU tune, and trance tuned custom intake, manifold full custom exhaust, boost battery relocation and frontman intercooler.

New div, Bush's new engine mounts, New Yorker, cover gaskets done. Good on his car.

Towed by previous owner, makes to 60 kilowatts at nine PSI on 90. Eight Fuel.

And this car is a grand total of 85 58. 550 General.

I'm 58 550, which is a lot of car for eight thousand, five hundred fifty dollars. I think that's quite good value

considering it's been altar Boden and ready to go in and we're normal territory. Towers are a lot more money that

would make a fast, family hauler.

Yeah, because you wouldn't know it looking on the front of it.

Yeah, it looks like a basic. Yeah, it's a, it's a real slow.

For that kind that's was like all my I was like oh that's actually really kind of cool. So so there's the four cars at

the wheels. That's pretty quick.

Yeah. Very quick host.

They are not nine pieces not besides nothing for a barrow, so that's actually really good. So alumns aux.

Rcx, Scotty's. See. 240, Edwards dies, and my

turbocharged territory. Where's your money going?

How much was your 240 Scotty as 3850?

Such a good price. I'm going there, Scott, you've

you either see 240 at that money at that money you have is to grab, but a 3850. Yes, yeah, that territory would

be a lot of fun, but I think I'd probably just have more fun fixing and tinkering with the w202 and just cleaning it.

So to our choose your pick Alan picked his car because that's Alum. The that that see 244 that money

is ridiculously good and it's hard to pass up.

So I'm with you. Scotty I'm Ben's all the way

that's 2/3 votes for the baby birds for the Benz.

Yeah, well done done. Scotty do windscar of the week.

Well done. He ends wins.

All right, isn't it time for the quiz?

Now time for the car quiz gentleman?

10 questions, plus some bonus questions as we normally do here on a Tuesday night gentleman, I'm going to get my notepad out and get started. All right.

This is the cartel, cock was 10. Questions, plus some bonus

questions? Let's get into a question 1.

What is a Toyota Corolla windy? Windy windy as in windy windy.

Never heard of it. Scott, Scott that like a special

convertible one? It's not a convertible on

Scotty. Yeah, I haven't heard that

before. They're pretty cool.

Quite quite rare. I only seem like one or two ever

now that I'm out and going to Google that.

Yep. What is it?

Not no idea. It is a full drive Corolla.

It is an older full drive Corolla not sold here.

No, it wasn't. But there's a lot here that

there were all. We are always giving his quiz

questions or cars at once. Soul here.

Oh my God. Question 2 singing with Toyota

which God, they officially asked this year.

After a 16-year production run Ed Ed, I'm saying, was it the Ruckus? Not the rock is cut, what are

they killed off? So they killed it here a few

years ago, but a stupid and Silent in Japan and fuel.

The places hmm Ruckus I think what they were still making elsewhere? Not sure the FJ Cruiser is

officially ending production. We see you forgot all about that

card shine. Bonus question, who built the FJ

Cruiser? Toyota Toyota subsidiary or kind

of an essay that can never say that work and word a different company that Toyota owns built it.

Who built it. I had soon incorrect.

Hmm, I do I wasn't serious with that but but I don't know.

So I'm happy to not pants a nice but it's not.

I had to Edward. There you go. if shake for you,

Not sure he wants a owned but another idea though, you don't go at all guilty history's. Not that is scoober.

Ooh. Yeah.

But I thought that there might be some cross-pollination, which wouldn't be too far off because, you know, them in Subaru.

Do the 80/60 got scared and went in bed with Mitsubishi?

No, he knew he know or you know, Okay, no nina had is true question 3. What car broke the front wheel

drive record at the Nurburgring. Recently a good on the Civic.

Type R, Honda Civic. Type R is absolutely correct.

The new one efl, five broke new one, a new one question for what has happened to my car? According to a news article on

abc.com dentate. You and I quote, when she

returned to her car that afternoon, she turned on the ignition and the engine roared. So loudly that you thought it

was The car, she then turns it off and then back on again and I'm still the same. What happened to Katlin Evans

car? Is this like a they ride into

the newspaper with a car problem?

Yeah, so no it back. No.

It was a it's a news article that's been in the news recently. I was really loud and she turned

it off and she turned on me and it was still really loud, really loud. Yep.

We don't happened to Katlin Evans car.

This is Kare 11 Story. I mean so you want us to

mechanically diagnose this mechanically diagnose it all.

Tell us what's happening recently.

Only that's become a bit of a bit of an epidemic.

Scott, Scott, Scott rooming with sages criming, the cat converter was stolen was absolutely stolen Scotty.

Well, maybe the accelerators stuck to be related to one of.

These are work with that at school.

She came to work and she's like, Matt, can you have a look at my car? She's like, she's like, she's

like, it's so loud and it's the whole cars, vibrating and and now, Steering's your kind of kind of going off.

All my God, that sounds weird. She's got an old Subaru Outback.

So I wanted her to look ahead. Look at it, I'm like some of the

common, my God, it sounds louder.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Have you done to it? She this was like, only like a

good month and a half ago and she was like, to me are, I don't know. It's like I was driving to work

and then just just got the held anyway and I'm like, what's wrong, you series is. She's like, she's like, it's

just the steering is just completely just jammed up.

I'm like, how did you drive it? Well, she's a very slowly on the

freeway. I thought I was going to die.

Anyway, I look on the, I believe underneath the car and they've cutter cut off, and it was just hanging there.

And basically, what's what I said, happened, someone's probably walked outside and spooked him and then run off and have left half the job there. So here are the two.

The poor thing had that get the car towed to the mechanics and had to weld it all back up. Wow.

So it's and it, but like, nobody knows about God about how, how expensive they are to to do. But anyway, that's that's

another story. So that's what's happening in

this world? I can't steal mine on the

Subaru, still. Oh, no.

Is this too or came with like three?

Yeah so you got two that are right up there with a head is our yep and it's meant to be one in the middle, meant to be one in the middle. Let's go check.

What a piece question 5, the first generation of the Dodge Viper. Had an engine size of what in

leakage, net ID. I bumped.

My friend has one of those things.

It does break down. My birthday Drive.

I helped him that they did. That car / engine.

It is very big, isn't it? I think it's like a like a 6.7.

It's incorrect, but I'll put it as your guess.

I'll give clothes to. Hey Scotty 88.

L is absolutely correct. Got it.

Is an 8. A litre.

V10 has crossed that it's absolutely massive trucks.

Exactly what was produced between years.

would I do get it. Wrong Scott.

Get ready to jump in boy for each.

In his stride your I think we got it in 03 but I'm gonna go o to like because the early earliest and then I'm going to book in that at the other end, the F10.

We got two thousand and seven, eight, nine.

We got the F / 10 in 2010. So I'm going to go I'm going to

go 0 to 2, 2010 2010 is correct o 2 is incorrect.

So that's a give you a give you a point for it.

Incorrect. It was 03.

I was the other way. So, yeah, bonus question.

Ed's? That engine is the, it's on,

Alex's, number plate. Is it a nest?

54. No.

What's his M6? S 65 incorrect.

What damn it. So I know you know this is it

M60 now it's the S 85 s of still Esna for was emphasis on reason, I don't know I think I can confuse with mistake because Alex is played is m6s 85. Yeah that that would be that but

transmission options are available in the current Subaru WRX? It led to two is corrected but

they've got a manual and a CVT constant very disappointment.

Transmission question 8 in what year was the last Commodore badged car sold in Australia. It Ed, huh?

I think the last Commodore was like 19 incorrect.

Dane incorrectly was 2020. Was the last Commodore badged

vehicle. Which was the it wasn't.

It wasn't a proper comment. Was that bullshit.

Open forgot about that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's probably for the best go to that.

You could have made it like four wheel drive and everything.

Yeah, I forgot. Okay.

Now, the next question, question, I'm there is three points up for grabs besides the Middle East.

Europe and North America. Where else was the Commodore

exported to? Middle east Europe, North

America still under like Commodore just the vehicle itself. The vehicle itself.

Also, I think they were called other names over there, but stop God. Hang on.

Sorry, middle east Europe, which are classified as the UK as well. We'll put your okay and North

America and New Zealand. New Zealand's.

them. Have a punt.

listening in just one second. So, the V6 turbo diesel, that is

Scotty golf tip of the week. Golf tip of the week.

This one is from YouTube video. I've watched a few of his and

just helping with hitting your ions a lot better.

A lot of times you might be swinging and you tend to shift your weight backwards. Don't keep your weight over the

ball. Keep it straight.

Just swing the hips, not your whole body.

Don't go all the way with it. You'll connect with the ball so

much better. So don't Happy Gilmore, just

just move your back, you can try it.

I mean if it works consistently Then go for it.
