00:35
This is a professional radio, gentlemen.
00:42
And it's front-wheel drive.
00:45
Oh, yeah, have you got anyone you want to thank?
00:49
And now we'll do the after-hours.
00:51
General, what would you go for?
00:53
They see us in there.
00:55
OK, because it's not a supercar.
01:01
Automated perfection comes in the form of two letters, A and U.
01:10
Welcome to Car Talk.
01:11
It's Tuesday night here at 98.9 North West FM.
01:13
It's me, Matty J, in the studio with Mr. Chadne Bauer.
01:17
How are you doing, Chad?
01:20
Thank you very much.
01:22
Online with the one and only Scurrito Johnson.
01:27
Thank you very much.
01:29
Good to see you, boys.
01:30
Good to see you, Chad.
01:32
How was the motherland?
01:33
The motherland was pretty good.
01:34
Yeah, it was, you know, it was hot.
01:37
It looked like it was hot.
01:38
There's, yeah, some might say there's a, you know, it's on fire.
01:43
No, yeah, a bit of a heat wave, but no.
01:48
It was really good.
01:49
You know, I did a lot of interesting car spotting.
01:52
You know, looking at weird, weird and wonderful models that they've got.
01:55
Tudor Corolla, Tudor Focus, Tudor Swift.
01:58
Nothing that we get here, obviously.
02:02
No, it was really good.
02:03
You know, driving over there was a whole other ball game, obviously.
02:06
It's, it's like just, it's a free for all everyone.
02:09
Everyone's just trying to get to where they're going and no regardless.
02:15
But, you know, somewhat I was less stressed driving over there than I was in Melbourne,
02:25
So nobody follows the rules.
02:28
Therefore there are no rules.
02:30
Therefore everyone kind of just gives each other a little bit of space.
02:34
So it's kind of good.
02:37
It's, which I thought was weird.
02:38
I'm like, I'm going to hate it because nobody follows it.
02:41
No, actually it kind of works.
02:43
It's like when there are no rules, then everybody's on a playing field level playing
02:48
field and everyone just kind of gives each other a little bit of wiggle room.
02:52
And it somehow works out.
02:54
But here, as soon as one person doesn't follow the rules, all hell breaks loose.
02:59
Like they, you know, they end up cutting across a lane and then cutting off
03:02
four people or something.
03:04
There's potentially four people being injured or, you know, whatever, like,
03:08
affected by, but over there, people just do what they want.
03:11
So you just get stuff at whatever, you know, I'm just, I'm just not going to
03:15
pay attention to it because it's, it's happening.
03:17
It's happening 24 seven.
03:19
Therefore you can't just get upset about someone not indicating or about
03:23
someone cutting you off.
03:24
You just, you know, you just kind of go, yeah, you know, whatever.
03:28
I'm just going to keep just, you know, just be aware.
03:31
But everybody's way more aware.
03:34
That's what I've also noticed.
03:36
Everyone just goes.
03:37
It's actually paying attention.
03:40
But also, also being on their phone 24 seven as well.
03:43
So like people will literally just stare at their phone and drive.
03:47
And on top of that, they'll be like speeding.
03:50
They'll be drinking a coffee at the same time.
03:53
They're changing gears with the other hand.
03:55
Like it's, it is pandemonium.
03:59
But through chaos, there's some sort of like, you know,
04:03
I didn't see a single accident and I drove for, I don't know,
04:06
maybe two and a half thousand kilometers the whole time I was there.
04:09
I did a fair bit of driving and like I felt way more, you know,
04:14
in control of the things around me than I would over here,
04:19
which I thought was really weird because I didn't,
04:22
I don't think I should have felt that.
04:24
I don't know what it is.
04:26
shout outs Turkey for not having any rules and therefore, you know,
04:30
just like keeping the country going somehow.
04:33
And, but yeah, look,
04:35
I also did pop out of over to Greece for a little while and that
04:39
was to take to Tikanis.
04:42
And that was like being in a whole other like world.
04:46
Like that was so different to Turkey at the time.
04:51
you can see literally you can see if some from some of the islands
04:55
you can see Turkey and somehow it's just white like worlds apart.
05:00
And it's like, I actually hate a driving in Greece.
05:04
Driving in Greece was just so aggravating because nobody had
05:08
any awareness of anything going on.
05:10
So there'd be a guy on an ATV doing three things.
05:16
and there's like a line of 25 cars behind him just holding up the
05:20
whole world and not pulling over and nothing like he was just.
05:24
He was just in his own world.
05:26
He's sipping a frappe cappuccino.
05:32
Sorry for all that Greek viewers.
05:36
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
05:38
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
05:40
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
05:43
I'm a big fan of cappuccino.
05:44
So if I'm all that Greek viewers and,
05:48
looking at his phone while writing an ATV on the road,
05:50
no helmet with his girlfriend in the back.
05:55
Yeah, it was just crazy.
05:59
way more aggravating than,
06:01
driving in Turkey somehow,
06:02
which I thought would be the opposite because,
06:04
Greece is in the EU.
06:05
I don't want to get political here,
06:06
but how are they in the EU first of all,
06:08
Like everybody was just out to do their own thing,
06:11
but with no regard to anybody else.
06:12
anybody else, which in Turkey, it was similar, but people had an
06:16
understanding of what everyone else was trying to do. So they
06:19
would give each other, you know, breathing room and a bit of
06:22
space and kind of like, you know, letting people through or
06:25
whatever it is. Grease had none of that. Grease was just
06:28
like, yeah, it was just, it was chaos.
06:30
My brother driven risk is like his, his wife's great. Oh
06:34
Like they're all families, you know, great, great, great.
06:36
Yeah, full, full to kind of
06:38
Christos Anesti Greek, like, full, full on, you know, great,
06:42
great. He's like, I went there and he had an Opel Corsa as a
06:46
no, yeah, yeah, nice. And he's like, I still managed to crash
06:49
that. He's like, oh my God, he left it. He left it. He's put
06:55
in the clutch and it rolled back and he's like, I survived the
06:59
whole trip without without. He's like, it's cool. I rolled
07:01
back into somebody. Oh, no. Anyway, but, but he's like,
07:05
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He's like, nobody
07:07
does anything there. No, no, no, no. It's just like, they're
07:10
all relaxing. Yeah, I literally just there's no roadworks
07:13
being done because the guys are just standing around having a
07:15
cigarette and a coffee. There's just donkeys on the road. And
07:19
like, it's, it's, it's a weird, it's a weird, wonderful
07:22
place. But um, yeah, I don't recommend driving at all. But
07:27
yeah, no, look, I had a really good trip. Um, I was
07:30
away for a little bit and I missed all the boys and
07:32
missed talking crap about cars. And yeah, I'm glad to be
07:36
back. Yeah, we missed you on the show. We said numerous
07:41
jokes about you and your uncle. That's the Ford in, you
07:45
know, needing to get Robert Diff. Yes, absolutely. So yeah. So
07:51
that was all part of the experience. Yes, it's
07:53
definitely. There's a J2 holiday for sure. But yeah, it's
07:59
good to have you back, mate. Um, really, uh, you know,
08:03
it's, you know, there's a big chad shaped hole when
08:06
you don't yell. So thank you. So it's, it is good. It's
08:09
good to have you back. And, and hopefully, hopefully the
08:12
trip went well. Hopefully, um, you know, you got to see
08:15
if you're assuming you saw your family. I did. Yeah, I saw
08:18
family there. And, um, that was probably about a
08:20
wake worth of traveling with family, like seeing them. And
08:24
then the rest of it was just me and my wife just
08:27
sort of like sightseeing and which I hadn't even done
08:30
and really myself in Turkey. So I got to see a lot of
08:33
stuff that I haven't seen before. And Greece was
08:35
obviously, yeah, it was a whole new experience for
08:37
me because I'd never been to Greece and, you know,
08:40
being on an island and all that sort of like, we
08:42
went to Rhodes, which was just one of the biggest
08:44
islands that they've got there. And, um, yeah, it
08:47
was, um, it was a super cool experience seeing some
08:51
literally thousand year old things and, uh, my
08:54
buildings that I still like somehow together. And
08:58
yeah, it was really, it was an incredible
08:59
experience. And, um, yeah. Yeah, I'd actually
09:02
love to go because like, there's just so much
09:03
history, like, especially in Turkey, it was an
09:06
end. Like it's just, yeah, exactly. There's a lot
09:09
of crossover to like between them. And, um, you
09:11
know, they all invaded each other's country. They
09:14
all lived, uh, in the same place. And they all
09:17
ate, you know, the food was so similar and, you
09:21
know, like the, the, the cultures are so
09:23
similar in some sense. And then so far away
09:25
from each other at the same time. Um, yeah,
09:27
now it was super, super cool experience. I
09:29
really definitely recommend everybody to check
09:31
them out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just a
09:33
logitech room. Yeah. Yeah, I bet. I'm, I'm
09:36
keen to get over there. Absolutely. I can
09:38
recommend a few things. Yeah. Please do. And
09:40
I'll go to the Ford factory, speak to your
09:42
uncle. Yeah. And bring it back. Oh, we can
09:46
figure that out. Uh, Scotty Doe. How
09:50
you doing, man? Yeah, pretty good. Just
09:53
plugging away. It's doing the use with
09:55
work. With work. Very good. Any holidays
09:59
planned? No, nothing planned. So nothing
10:03
as exciting as, as Chad's experience. He's
10:06
just a holiday to, uh, to, to Turkey. Nothing
10:10
as awesome as that. Well, we get on with
10:13
some car updates. Scotty, we'll start with
10:14
you, man. Updates with you, Brilla. What's
10:16
happening? Um, not so much on the car
10:19
front, but leading towards that. So, um,
10:25
since I've got the shed up and everything
10:27
I've started to put some things in the
10:29
shed and get that all sorted, which
10:32
means the garage is looking a lot more
10:34
emptier. So at the moment, there's two
10:36
cars sitting in there. So we've got the
10:39
blade and the inside in there. Okay. So
10:44
can fit two cars in there now. And so
10:47
does this mean the 31 can possibly
10:49
sneak home? Yeah, it can. So I just
10:53
got to move a couple more things
10:55
because I still got plenty of room
10:57
left in the shed. Yeah. And just tidy
10:59
it up a bit in the garage to make it a
11:02
little bit of a neater. So I kind of
11:03
just stack things on the back for now
11:05
until I realize where I want to, where
11:08
I want to put it and get nice and
11:09
tidy. And then yeah, it can, it can
11:12
live in there. Yeah, nice. I mean, you
11:14
can, you can chip away at it, do
11:15
things. Yep. Do all the little bits
11:18
and pieces that I want to and take
11:20
it out now and again and give a run
11:23
to work sometimes. Yeah, that's the
11:28
But yeah, it's a bit more roomier in
11:30
there than I thought. So yeah, our
11:31
two cars fit in there nicely.
11:35
That's your updates. Chad, updates
11:39
So car updates. I didn't manage to
11:42
do a whole lot before I left to go
11:44
overseas. I, yeah, well, now four
11:49
weeks ago, I kind of remember what I
11:51
did, but so I got back last week
11:53
and I've been trying to plug away
11:55
at some little bits and pieces.
11:56
And I had the Mercedes at the
12:01
paint shop, which unfortunately,
12:05
thanks to you, Matty, I was able to,
12:07
you know, with your help, I was
12:08
able to get a relay and all that
12:10
sort of stuff to get it going.
12:11
And unfortunately, yeah, so that
12:14
actually ended up being the
12:15
issue, I think, which ended up
12:17
being well, no, it wasn't. So I
12:19
think my relay that I pulled out
12:22
of the Mercedes was broken, but it
12:24
was just the outside was broken.
12:26
I think so. But I thought, you
12:28
know, maybe if I get a new relay
12:32
might help. But it didn't. But
12:35
that's OK. It's still good to have
12:36
those as I found out, they're
12:38
very sort of sought after,
12:40
especially the especially OEM
12:42
ones. They're very sought after
12:43
and it's just good to have a
12:45
spare anyway. So thank you for
12:47
that. I really appreciate you
12:48
digging around for that. And then
12:50
so I went back to the Mercedes.
12:53
I think the second day after I got
12:55
back and I just did some tests.
12:58
I made sure it wasn't the
13:00
relays. And then I tried to see
13:03
if the only other thing that I
13:05
could think was the fuel pump.
13:06
So I was not able to hear the
13:07
fuel pump prime at all.
13:10
It was making no sound.
13:11
So I borrowed a multimeter from
13:13
business next door and I tested,
13:16
you know, the connection to the
13:17
fuel pump and it was getting
13:18
power, even though it was low
13:19
because the battery was a bit,
13:20
you know, it's down on amps and
13:22
whatnot. But it was getting
13:24
power. So I thought, well, you
13:25
know, there's power there.
13:27
So therefore there should be
13:29
fuel pump working. But I think
13:31
the fuel pump had had it.
13:33
So I sourced a new one from
13:37
a place in Tullamarine called
13:41
Jeez. So they they they work
13:44
with swan fuel pumps and
13:47
I think they're a distributor or
13:48
a supplier for swan.
13:49
So I was able to get one for a
13:51
really good price because, you
13:54
know, Repco had one and it was an
13:55
exorbitant amount that I just
13:57
was not able. I couldn't
13:59
justify. So, you know, I found
14:01
one for a really good price in
14:02
a place in Tullamarine and, you
14:03
know, it was a little kit that
14:04
comes with all the stuff you
14:05
need, all the connectors.
14:07
I went back yesterday and I
14:10
fitted the new fuel pump.
14:11
And yeah, that was it.
14:14
And the car fired straight up
14:16
basically. I drained the fuel
14:18
that was in the tank and I put
14:21
some fresh like 10 litres of
14:22
fresh fuel in it and the first
14:24
crank and it was just up and
14:25
running. Yeah. And I was like,
14:26
wow, I just I really expected
14:27
it to be a bigger struggle
14:28
than that. But thankfully, yeah,
14:32
that seemed to be it. So now
14:34
that, you know, the car is
14:36
able to be moved by its own
14:38
power. The painter said, you
14:41
know, he'll get on to it
14:42
and he'll start working on it.
14:44
So, yeah, fingers crossed.
14:47
Within the next couple of weeks,
14:49
I think it should be done at
14:51
least it'll be in primer and
14:53
then I can sort out hopefully
14:56
a livery for it and get it
14:57
wrapped and all that stuff.
14:58
And yeah, but obviously, once
15:01
the paint's done, it's still
15:01
got a lot of work to do.
15:02
There's a lot of mechanical
15:03
stuff that needs to sort of be
15:04
sorted out, you know,
15:05
bushings and I did notice,
15:07
hey, it's an all car.
15:09
Yeah, there's 40 years worth
15:11
of, you know, work that
15:14
sort of needs to be, you know,
15:15
caught up on basically.
15:17
So, yeah, that was a really
15:19
good, that was really good.
15:21
It really got me like jeet up
15:23
to, you know, keep going
15:24
with the car, which is, you know,
15:25
is kind of what I want.
15:27
And yeah, so that that was good.
15:29
I also had dropped the
15:36
to a place for a roadworthy.
15:39
And I did that yesterday
15:41
and I heard back from the
15:46
I heard back today.
15:49
there's a bit of work that the
15:51
And one of those things turns
15:53
out is the transmission
15:54
because it's just leaking
15:56
out of every orifice possible
15:58
for the transmission.
15:59
So the transmission
16:02
I've reached out to
16:04
Andrew Wigglesworth.
16:05
Shout out, maybe listening
16:09
It's coming in. Oh, perfect.
16:11
That's amazing. Well, definitely
16:13
So, yeah, Andrew said
16:15
he will reach out to a few people
16:17
about it and I'll get back to me.
16:19
So currently, I'm just waiting on
16:21
that as the as the point
16:23
of whether I go ahead because
16:26
without a transmission, it's not
16:28
going to go anywhere, obviously,
16:29
but also the price of a
16:31
transmission is the other.
16:33
The factor is, you know, if
16:35
it's going to cost three grand
16:36
or whatever, then it's, you
16:38
know, I'm I'm thinking
16:39
I just cut my loss of sort of thing
16:42
But apart from that, look,
16:44
it's just mainly maintenance.
16:46
It's maintenance. It's brakes.
16:47
It's it's front suspension.
16:49
It's a rocker cover gasket.
16:51
It is a thermostat.
16:53
It's oil, oil pressure,
16:55
sender, a switch, sorry.
16:57
And I think was that the list
16:58
that I say a couple of belts,
17:00
couple of early three drive belts.
17:02
And that would be that's genuine
17:03
maintenance is genuine maintenance.
17:05
And this maintenance that probably
17:06
has never had in the life
17:07
of that car because it's only got
17:09
fifty thousand days on it.
17:10
So it's not like anyone
17:11
would have done those things ever.
17:13
So, you know, apart from
17:15
the transmission being a bit
17:17
how you going at the moment,
17:19
the rest of the stuff is pretty reasonable.
17:21
I already got new set of ties on it anyway.
17:23
So just in case that, you know,
17:25
the transmission is a thing
17:27
that I can go ahead with.
17:29
We will, yeah, we'll sort it out.
17:31
And as long as I can get
17:33
a reasonably priced transmission,
17:35
I don't see why not.
17:36
I just get everything all of it done.
17:38
And and, you know, the guy
17:40
who you recommended a good year.
17:42
And yeah, he's looking after me
17:44
and he's pretty honest.
17:45
He's really honest.
17:46
And but he's also like
17:48
he's reasonable because he's like,
17:49
you know, this is needed for safety.
17:51
The other things, you know,
17:52
whatever, it's kind of cosmetic.
17:54
So we are able to, you know,
17:56
let it slide or whatever.
17:57
And but yeah, he was really good.
17:59
And and at the same time,
18:01
I dropped off the I 30 today
18:04
to get a new set of ties.
18:05
So I've got a new brand new set
18:07
of PS4 S's by Michelin.
18:09
He ordered in for me.
18:11
Got a well fitted new wheel alignment
18:13
and all that good stuff.
18:14
So that car is, you know,
18:16
ready, ready to be doing daily duties again,
18:20
And I think, yeah, that's
18:22
that's about my updates.
18:26
filled in a fair bit of time
18:28
in the last week, trying to get
18:30
all this stuff done.
18:31
So yeah, no, it's been a busy week
18:33
Well, I think if we can get
18:34
like a transplant of 500.
18:36
Yeah, I think that would go.
18:38
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
18:39
So I think that we can do that
18:42
because like French, French shocks
18:43
are not much for that.
18:46
So it's just genuine
18:47
like breaks maintenance.
18:48
Yeah, it's stuff that needs to be done
18:50
for a decent size trip, like to Adelaide anyway.
18:52
So it's stuff that I would have done anyway,
18:54
whether it was picked up on roadworthy or not.
18:57
But yeah, the other stuff,
18:58
yeah, the transmission is the biggest one,
18:59
unfortunately, so we'll see.
19:01
Yeah, so we'll have to get that
19:01
transferred, we'll see if we can get a cheap one.
19:04
Because I think they're all the same.
19:06
Yeah, the full speed auto.
19:07
I don't know whether the models after the TS
19:12
and stuff have the same
19:13
automatics or we'll see, I guess.
19:16
Yeah, if they, if it's compatible, then why not?
19:18
You know, the thing that rules his connection,
19:22
yes, he wrecks them and he knows,
19:23
you know, he's, he's a specialist.
19:25
Yeah, he is the guy.
19:26
So he'd be the guy in the know that comes to Magnus.
19:30
And like the fact that they said,
19:32
I had to be ready, but don't worry about the body.
19:34
It's just like, just get those few things up.
19:36
Quite literally, it's just maintenance items,
19:37
except for the trans.
19:38
Yeah, it's brake suspension, tires,
19:40
and then yeah, a massive leak from the transmission,
19:42
which would, you know, it would be definitely picked up on
19:45
or it would potentially cause a serious thing
19:47
on the road anyway.
19:48
So that's fair enough.
19:50
So, so we get a cheap, cheap transfer.
19:53
I think happy days.
19:58
Edward Bunting has joined us.
19:59
How are you, Edward?
20:00
Oh, well, yes, I have joined you.
20:02
It was lovely of you to send the invite.
20:08
Dave, I drink David, who's not even here
20:10
to get the invite to send to me.
20:13
Scotty, how did you get the invite?
20:15
I like it through Facebook.
20:16
Yeah, I sent it on Facebook.
20:17
Yeah, it's on the page, Edward.
20:20
It's on the group chat.
20:20
I usually get an email every week.
20:26
How about you do what you do every other week
20:27
and give me an email?
20:30
How about some consistency from the show?
20:32
Sorry, Edward, I'm sitting here like an idiot.
20:37
Which car were you just talking about then, Chad?
20:41
Oh, please, tell me more about the Magnetron summary.
20:43
I heard brakes and transmission.
20:45
What did I hear there?
20:46
Yeah, unfortunately, it needs a potentially
20:48
new transmission or at least a rebuild of the current one.
20:54
It's just it's leaking like a sieve out of the out
20:59
of the torque converter, apparently,
21:01
which has got something to do with the pump of the transmission.
21:05
Because that train is beautifully.
21:08
But yeah, I don't I don't know it might have just happened
21:12
from me driving to the to the shop yesterday.
21:17
I don't know if it's just been sitting and it's shifting fine.
21:21
Oh, look, it's shifting OK, but it's it's leaking.
21:24
So some has gone on there.
21:27
But it's definitely unfortunately, I was not
21:28
able to arrange that for a roadworthy with that leak.
21:32
So I have to look into a, you know,
21:37
a replacement of the transmission,
21:39
because I think even trying to get parts for it is a.
21:42
Can you see it or something?
21:45
Just like TV everywhere.
21:46
RTV, just the whole thing.
21:50
It's I think that's fixable.
21:54
Yeah, I mean, look, you know,
21:56
I can only go by what the mechanic has said.
21:59
But yeah, well, but it's
22:02
if you take in the whole thing apart,
22:03
it's like pretty much a rebuild at that point.
22:04
Yeah. And like the rebuild is the biggest money part of it.
22:08
So even slapping in a secondhand one
22:10
is probably going to be the the most the more cheap option,
22:14
which, you know, you'd hope it's a good good unit that's going in.
22:16
But obviously the other one fix anything.
22:18
Yeah, the other one fix or something.
22:20
Yeah. So it's yeah, it's a little bit of work.
22:22
So was that and brakes?
22:24
Yeah, brake, suspension, couple of drive belts
22:27
and, yeah, rocker cover leak
22:30
and the rocker gasket leak, and that's it.
22:33
Really, that's all it needs.
22:34
The dings and stuff, it's, you know,
22:36
they're going to pretend not to see it, which is the some of the dents are.
22:42
Yeah, it's a bit of a it's it's a gray area, you know?
22:47
But yeah, it's everything else.
22:49
Yeah, everything else seems to work out.
22:50
A new exhaust muffler muffler for the rear and that's about it. Yeah.
22:55
Well, I mean, all of that stuff was reasonably expected, except the trans.
22:59
I don't yeah, I don't recall it like when it was sitting in Tom's garage
23:04
or whatever leaking at all. Yeah.
23:07
Yeah, I mean, I didn't see it either.
23:09
I didn't see any leaks on my driveway, but yeah, it's gone to the shop and it's
23:15
is it pissing on the ground?
23:17
Yeah, yeah, even when I had it parked on the straight
23:20
as I was talking to the guys, I looked I came back to it
23:23
and it was just as a puddle of a little puddle, not huge,
23:26
but for it to be an active lake.
23:29
Yeah. Yeah. So we know it's not they're not making up.
23:33
The guys were fairly straightforward about it, too.
23:37
But yeah, the rest of it is just maintenance.
23:39
Yeah, pretty much as I said, we get a transport.
23:42
I think I think under 500 bucks for a second in trans and happy days.
23:46
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
23:48
We also joined by Rob Zadai.
23:50
Well, thanks. Just technical problems again.
23:53
Did you get the email invite, Rob?
23:58
Thanks, guys. All right.
24:00
OK. No, thank you, Matt.
24:02
Thank you. Any time, Matt.
24:04
I had to disturb David in his committee meeting.
24:08
Just to get access to this show.
24:11
I know what it's like.
24:13
That's how dedicated I am.
24:14
Hey, let's Edward, do you not have access to Facebook Messenger?
24:20
Matt always sends it via email.
24:21
Yeah, I always send both does both.
24:23
But but I didn't do both tonight.
24:26
Yeah, OK. All right.
24:27
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
24:28
You made your point, Edward.
24:29
All right. What's the next segment?
24:31
Well, we still have the car.
24:32
Car updates still on the same segment.
24:35
It's a car update with you, Edwards, with me.
24:39
The wasp has been to the panel shop.
24:41
The wasps has come back from the panel shop.
24:43
It has a respray rear bar and some repainted mirror caps
24:47
because they were a little bit faded.
24:49
Um, so it's looking schmick.
24:53
I booked the regio appointment for October the first.
24:56
So I just need to get my little roadie before then.
24:59
What else? What else? What else?
25:02
The Moke is leaking from the rear main seal.
25:06
So it too, Chad, is leaving a little puddle where I park.
25:11
It's over. It's always, I mean, it's British.
25:13
So it's always leaked a little bit,
25:14
but it's worse from that from that area.
25:18
So you know what they say?
25:19
If it's leaking, it's still got oil in it.
25:21
They've got oil exactly.
25:22
So I'm, yeah, I'm a little, I'm a little bit like,
25:26
that probably means gearbox off and rear main seal and whatever.
25:30
That's, that's a, that's a, maybe that's a nice summer job for Ed, I feel.
25:35
The 380 SEL has had a bit of a, I think I mentioned it.
25:40
I had a bit of a shake down.
25:42
I did drive it for, did I mention that last time?
25:45
I think I drove it for a weekend and yeah,
25:47
it just got better and better.
25:48
And I was like, oh, I really like this car.
25:51
So yeah, that, that is in my garage.
25:53
And I'm going to condition the leather on it
25:55
and do a few other little bits and bobs.
25:57
But, but yeah, everyone really likes that car as do I.
26:01
So I just, as I said last time, I think I don't think I'm going to sell that.
26:05
I think I'll, I was like a keeper.
26:07
I think I'll just find a space for that somewhere.
26:12
Life's all about pleasures, isn't it?
26:14
Really? Or what brings you joy?
26:15
And that, that car brings me joy.
26:17
So, well, it can stay.
26:21
What else? What else? What else? What else?
26:23
The Honda CR-V's gone in to have the little road with the items it needed done.
26:28
So that was a few ball joints and bushes and things.
26:31
Nothing crazy, maybe about a grand worth of work
26:35
and a few hundred dollars worth of parts on top of that.
26:38
So that's in the shop.
26:39
I took the Pajero up to the snow over the weekend.
26:43
Of course, that loves the snow, so that was happy.
26:47
My dad's Pajero, though, he's an interesting one.
26:49
So that's the newest in our fleet of five family Pajeros.
26:54
That being a 2018 build, that's just clocked 138,000 K.
26:59
So not crazy Ks in anyone's book for one of those.
27:05
The first issue, which I might have mentioned a few weeks back,
27:07
was it was making its own oil, as in the oil level was rising,
27:11
which is usually a sign of diesel or DPF burns not happening.
27:15
Probably diesel going into the sump and increasing the oil level,
27:18
therefore diluting your oil,
27:20
therefore fucking your engine, excuse my language, if you're not careful.
27:24
So that that was sort of had a quick oil and filter change at 130,000 Ks.
27:36
It was being monitored.
27:37
So dad's done about 8000 K in the last month,
27:40
which is a big trip to Queensland and back, essentially.
27:43
So he's been monitoring the oil.
27:44
He said, look, it's just above the high mark, you know,
27:47
like it has crept up a little bit, but it's nothing crazy alarming.
27:51
So I'm keen to get that in the garage and I bought that myself
27:54
and I'll probably get the oil and filter done again now.
27:57
And then just just make sure it's every seven and a half
28:00
that it gets oil and filter in that car with the DPF.
28:03
But the interesting thing was, dad rang me from somewhere
28:05
around Canberra and said, oh, my car needs four new shocks.
28:08
And I'm like, what are you talking about?
28:10
Like that car was perfect, you know, like it's 130,000 Ks on it.
28:14
It's not it's spent its whole life on bitumen.
28:17
It hasn't towed anything.
28:19
It's never been off road.
28:21
I can't. This is the perfect environment for a car.
28:24
And he said, yeah, we're on these roads up in Northern Queensland
28:27
somewhere and he noticed it was getting a lot bouncier.
28:30
And now he had four people in the car and some luggage in the boot.
28:34
That's it. Not towing anything, not overloaded.
28:36
And this is a Pajero.
28:37
So you'd think it could handle four people in the bloody car.
28:40
Anyway, so, yeah, I was intrigued by the time he got home.
28:45
He took it to a garage in Canberra and they said, yeah,
28:47
they're all leaking and they're stuffed.
28:51
So I took it to the car wash last night to wash all the bugs off it
28:55
and they really are stuffed like it.
28:57
I've never I've never felt a car so bad in the front end.
29:02
So whatever Mitsubishi put in that car
29:05
as the standard shock, I think is is is maybe a cheaper component
29:11
than what they used to.
29:12
Like my brother didn't do shocks till 350.
29:15
My page is on the original shocks at two thirty seven.
29:18
Like these things don't just fail like that.
29:22
But the dad's car has.
29:24
So I can only assume that, yeah, in the later models,
29:26
they just went a bit a bit tight and put a shock in that was
29:29
substandard or maybe they sourced it from somewhere else or something.
29:33
Did they all happen to go at the same time
29:36
Certainly the fronts, the backs, the backs might be savable,
29:39
but they said they were leaking.
29:41
So I think we'll just do all four.
29:44
So between the DPF issues and the shocks just going like that,
29:48
I'm not overly impressed with that car at the moment.
29:53
I think I think, you know, sometimes, as with all my cars,
29:57
That dad's always winch that it doesn't have a CD player
29:59
because it's all Apple car play and what have you.
30:02
So I said to him, you know what?
30:03
I'm half tempted to sell a damn thing for like thirty five,
30:07
you know, fix the shock, sell it and go and buy you one for 15
30:11
that's got a CD player and no DPF.
30:14
Like same car, like, you know, like I'm sort of I'm genuinely half
30:20
tempted in your pocket 20 grand. Yeah. Yeah, that's wild.
30:24
So if something comes up, I might be keen to just sell one.
30:29
And yeah, just downgrade, not an upgrade, well, an upgrade,
30:32
but a downgrade. Anyway, downgrade, yeah, up downgrade.
30:38
Yeah, I've done it before.
30:40
And I tell you what, most of the time you're happier, you know,
30:43
in a cheaper car that works and is good, you're happier.
30:47
You spend more money and you just have higher expectation.
30:49
But I don't think I don't think that one hundred and thirty
30:52
thousand K is to have perfect shocks.
30:54
Isn't it that's been on bitching its whole life on freeways?
30:57
Is it is a big ask?
30:59
No, that's a bit sus to be honest.
31:01
Yeah, that's it's dodges.
31:06
Shocks are designed to last only 80 to 100,000 anyway.
31:09
Well, I mean, on on some sedans and things, yeah, you sort of think,
31:13
oh, around about 100,000, a bit like thermostats around about 100,000.
31:16
You start looking at it.
31:18
But it's just that given the type of car it is and the all the other ones
31:23
we've had, you don't you don't sort of hear about shocks
31:29
doing anything nasty on them like I've never had that.
31:32
Yeah, that's why they make you even sell to buy a new one or go back
31:37
with the go forward. No, I'm going to go backwards.
31:39
I'm convinced just no no DPF just go back.
31:42
Anyway, that's that's my car updates.
31:45
I haven't really been doing anything else in the world of cars
31:48
that I can think of. Nice.
31:53
Well, yeah, my Mercedes is being driven in and out of the spray
31:58
booth, so he's working on it, but he's not.
32:01
Nothing's happened to it, but it's going back and forth out of the spray
32:04
booth. So it's a start.
32:07
I did see it the other day, Rob.
32:10
I was at the shop and I did see it and he said he was working on it.
32:13
So you never know, Chad, you and I might get lucky.
32:18
Maybe it's our time.
32:21
It could be our time.
32:22
Yeah, I've had Ford Australia call me and they said they said
32:26
they called the dealer and sorted out with the dealer.
32:28
The dealer says you've got to call Ford Australia and sorted out
32:32
So I've been playing ping pong with the dealership and Ford.
32:37
So the dealer pretty much said, look, you need to raise another request
32:42
with Ford as it's called a V.A.R. or something or R.A.V.
32:47
RAV is called Return of Vehicles.
32:52
Yeah. And they'll open up another case to investigate how long
32:56
it's been off the road, how many times it's been back
32:59
and all that sort of stuff then determined whether they'll refund,
33:02
replace, not repair, repair, whatever.
33:07
So now she goes, that could take some time now.
33:10
So take as long as you want.
33:16
That's where I met with the transit.
33:18
So hopefully that'll move forward now that it's been escalated.
33:22
I was going to go out for the Father's Day thing down on Sunday
33:26
down at St. Kilda there, but it's just the weather wasn't all
33:30
So I ended up just spending Father's Day with my father.
33:40
Chatter been to the factory, sorry, his uncle.
33:42
He said that they were downstaffed the day your van was built.
33:48
So yeah, they didn't have enough bodies to go around to, you know,
33:52
to give all the love and the love and the.
33:58
They're all eating kebabs too much.
34:00
And on that day, you know, they were a bit sleepy having a siesta.
34:06
Gosleman and Gosleman and and Pidey and all the good stuff, you know,
34:10
all the good stuff.
34:12
So you've come back a lot thinner.
34:15
Oh, yeah, thinner on the wallet, definitely.
34:21
No, I it's I did eat like a king over there.
34:24
So as you would, you're on hot as it would say you're on holiday.
34:29
You're on holiday holiday holiday holiday.
34:33
You do whatever you like on holiday.
34:35
Yeah, but Chad, you've just run over three people on holiday.
34:40
Chad, you know, that's your fourth ice cream of a different flavour.
34:46
It's a great one liner that really excuses any behaviour.
34:50
Yeah, you know, when on holiday, you might as well.
34:54
All the things you don't do or shouldn't do at home.
34:57
That's it. Absolutely.
35:00
Updates with me should hopefully get the Camry back to my own fingers crossed.
35:05
So injectors were dropped off and hopefully can put in if not there,
35:11
if not already done.
35:14
So we'll pick that up and then I've got a bottle of full system cleaner
35:18
to run through the car and see if that improves it,
35:24
So, yeah, can't wait to drive that.
35:28
I've been up to much in the car for I worked all weekend
35:32
at a different store, not my usual store.
35:36
Some interesting characters.
35:38
How come different store?
35:40
They needed a two I see to manager or three I see to manage to manage a store.
35:44
So I was like, yeah, I'm happy to do it.
35:45
So in a different location.
35:48
What did you notice different about the Clientella
35:51
that walks sold at that store versus your normal store?
35:54
Every customer was asking for a discount.
35:57
Really? Every customer was just expected everything for nothing.
36:02
If that makes sense.
36:03
And then most of the time we were getting robbed.
36:07
People just walk in, take stuff and walk out.
36:09
Really? Can I ask which suburb?
36:12
Yeah, which store is this?
36:14
I'll leave it to your interpretation, gentlemen.
36:16
So I won't I won't delve into roughly was it North West?
36:21
I don't know where I'm sure.
36:23
I think where this would be located.
36:25
How far is it from your other store?
36:28
Far enough that I made me want to go back to my store.
36:35
Yes, it wasn't funny there.
36:37
So the lower socioeconomic area than than your normal store.
36:42
So yeah, yeah, which is fine.
36:45
You know, I'm part of that that that history and I'm part of that
36:49
that demographic, but like when
36:55
when you got a customer asking me for a warranty for a headlight globe
37:00
and like we don't do warranties on headlight globes because
37:05
Well, and I mean, if it blows up after a week, sure.
37:08
No, I will replace it.
37:09
Yeah, anything longer than that.
37:11
You know, everyone uses their lights differently.
37:13
Some people drive at night, you know, so cabbies and stuff.
37:16
They constantly replace them because they're driving at night.
37:18
But I want a warranty.
37:19
I can't give you a warranty.
37:20
You know, it's it's so he's not getting I don't
37:24
with this one customer for over half an hour.
37:28
And you know, three dollar headlight.
37:32
It was a HL over 50 bucks.
37:34
I was like, you know, by these two long life
37:36
globes to 70 bucks for the pair.
37:38
Yeah, I would do that if you're worried about longevity.
37:40
You know, they're a long life globe.
37:41
The mental loss, you know, and he's like,
37:45
but like Audubon have got a cheaper.
37:47
I'm like, we'll go there.
37:48
He's like, you're in the wrong store then.
37:50
Can you match the price?
37:51
I'm like, it's a different item.
37:52
We don't sell that brand.
37:53
It's a different item.
37:54
Like if it's the same one, sure, no worries.
37:56
I'll beat the price.
37:56
But so and then after half an hour,
38:00
he just decided to just walk off on me and he's like,
38:01
yeah, no, if you're not going to give me a warranty.
38:04
I'm like, well, no one's going to give you a warranty, mate.
38:06
So best of luck with that one.
38:11
So yeah, so so that was that was interesting.
38:14
But could have upsell LED's or something.
38:16
Oh, I think at that point, I had enough.
38:20
This was my second day there in a row.
38:22
And I was just like, get me the hell out of here.
38:25
And then the customers were coming in on the closing.
38:27
I'm like, we close.
38:28
Oh, yeah, I was in the 30s.
38:29
Just I know what I'm going to get the run down and get it.
38:31
And then they'd go get it.
38:32
And they'd be like, can I make a store order?
38:34
So then you got parts and I was like, oh, no, you cannot.
38:38
Right before closing.
38:40
People work on their cars down that part of the world.
38:43
They like to actually, you know, get stuck into their cars and do things.
38:51
But I got to have some really lovely customers, too.
38:53
Like almost every customer was was a panda backside.
38:56
And that was just constantly nagging.
38:58
But it's a really lovely customers.
38:59
And then then I had a lady.
39:01
She came in. Hi, everybody have arrived.
39:04
And and I was like, OK, then.
39:07
And just just yelling as she's walking down
39:09
to the end of the store. Where is this?
39:11
But I'll whatever it was, walks to the end.
39:14
I hear a yelling in the other side of the store like she's so loud.
39:16
Comes back to the front
39:18
and wants to doesn't want to buy it.
39:19
Wants to buy a chocolate bar.
39:20
You know, places with chocolate bar.
39:21
Once doesn't want that chocolate bar.
39:23
Once wants the money back.
39:25
And then just started going off.
39:26
And I was like, where the hell am I?
39:28
Like, like, what is this world story?
39:32
I mean, she she proceeded to tell my colleagues
39:34
that they were all something, something's.
39:35
And then a house sold a house sold nearby
39:38
for a record price the other day for just over a million dollars.
39:41
Well, in that area.
39:46
So yes, let's just.
39:49
Yeah, I'm no comment.
39:51
Rob, no comment, really.
39:54
Don't go back, Natty.
39:56
Well, they said to me, oh, well, you did.
39:58
You left the shop in such a great knee.
39:59
Did you get danger danger money or anything like that?
40:02
I should have, but he got got more money
40:05
than people on the paddle, you know, like that,
40:06
better on the side of the road.
40:09
They're like, yeah, like, you know, we got some more,
40:11
she's kind of happy to give them to you.
40:12
I'm like, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't want.
40:16
So it don't get me wrong, the store was brand new and lovely.
40:20
But yeah, that doesn't change.
40:21
I mean, I get bad customers at my store, too.
40:27
But yeah, this was different.
40:29
It means another little bit.
40:32
So but anyway, all part of fun and games.
40:35
I did have some nice Vietnamese food
40:37
from from around that area, right next door, actually.
40:40
And it was behind me.
40:41
It's a real good one.
40:42
These are phenomenal.
40:44
You'll find out about me.
40:46
I'm also on the Barney Appreciation Society on Facebook.
40:55
Yeah, that is correct.
40:56
It was plenty on offer.
40:58
I think people are eventually going to figure out the location.
41:03
I'm going to move on before I get I get it from.
41:08
All part of all part of the retail experience.
41:12
Um, so yeah, that's pretty much my updates, gentlemen.
41:17
Tonight's topic is when was the last time you saw blank insert here?
41:24
Now, I've got one for you guys want to start us off with.
41:27
When was the last time you guys saw a Hyundai S coupe?
41:34
Scoop, Scoop, I could not tell you about the first gen, right?
41:40
Yeah, very first gen square boxy scoop.
41:43
Yeah, there aren't any left that they wouldn't be.
41:47
Like I don't want to be one somewhere.
41:48
They weren't somewhere got to be one.
41:51
Yeah, I remember the last time I seen one.
41:53
And and I was thinking about that because I went on a.
41:57
Typical Matthew Janina sort of lifestyle.
42:00
I went on a rabbit hole of looking at Hyundai Excels because I was like,
42:03
oh, I want to have you know, what would it take to get into?
42:06
No, I saw one come up on Marketplace that had there was a prepped race car
42:09
like a like a oh, yeah, a race series for them.
42:13
Excels Cup and and it was like it was like 16 grand with like everything
42:18
like ready to go with tires.
42:19
And I'm like, you know, that's a that's a lot of race car for 16 grand.
42:23
So, you know, Cam, it's all Cam to prove and all that stuff.
42:26
And you know, and it had a history of racing.
42:29
And I was like, oh, yes.
42:30
And then I went on a bit of a rabbit hole.
42:31
I'm like, oh, yeah, let's go back.
42:32
Scoops, I don't know if they're still I haven't seen one.
42:35
So I was like, you know, when was the last time you saw it?
42:39
So, gentlemen, do you remember the last time you've seen one?
42:41
And and if so, was it recently?
42:46
I ain't seen one in years.
42:48
Two thousand and four.
42:52
Is that when they're nearly new?
42:58
On my birthday, July the third.
43:02
Is that your birthday, Rob?
43:12
What was the last thing?
43:12
Yeah, I can't remember seeing a first gen scoop like I honestly,
43:19
But I did have, you still live in North Melbourne
43:23
and my next door neighbor used to have a second gen
43:30
I think they were still called S-Coops, weren't they?
43:32
Or they were just called Coops.
43:35
Yeah, I thought they were but ugly.
43:37
Yeah, they weren't a good looking car.
43:40
And but this this was like a purple one
43:42
and he would like wax and polish it every Sunday.
43:45
He would drive it onto his lawn and he would wash it
43:48
and then he would polish it on the and like he wasn't a particularly,
43:52
you know, straightforward bloke.
43:54
He was a very sort of, you know, character.
43:58
He might have been on the glass barbecue here and there.
44:01
If you if you catch my grip, he was troubled, you know,
44:07
I can't say the word of that illegal substance at the moment.
44:12
Anyway, so yeah, he was an interesting.
44:17
He was an interesting character.
44:18
And for some reason, he loved this bloody car.
44:20
It was just so ugly.
44:21
I actually liked that.
44:23
In North Melbourne, would there be a nature strip with grass?
44:26
Yeah, tell me about it.
44:27
There's no longer there.
44:28
They knocked it down.
44:31
It's it's there's like a 12 story building there now.
44:36
So to answer your question, I can't remember the last time
44:40
I reckon I would have seen one for sale at some point.
44:43
But yeah, I think I remember seeing a yellow one for sale at some point.
44:47
And I was I thought they did do them in yellow.
44:50
Yeah. And I think they even did like color matched seats or something.
44:58
But would they pop up headlights?
45:00
No, those square square headlights.
45:02
Yes. And they had like the M a 70 super tail lights looking thing.
45:07
Like very sort of long garnish.
45:12
They did do a turbo version.
45:15
Yeah. What would that have been like a one point five turbo?
45:18
An Aussie turbo version they did.
45:21
Pretty sure they sold Aussie turbo.
45:22
No, I don't think so.
45:24
I don't think we ever got turbo here.
45:25
Well, I want to fact check.
45:27
I want to fact check that this is normal.
45:29
Yeah, fact check that.
45:30
Hey, what about this?
45:33
Is that the that was the Aussie Maxima?
45:37
Oh, no, it was an Aussie delivered big first
45:40
infinity Avalonchi, the very first infinity ever.
45:44
Big saloon, wasn't it?
45:46
It was meant to take on the LS 400, but of course, never did.
45:51
No, these things are rare as hence teeth.
45:53
Dude, I don't think I've actually ever seen one in Australia.
45:56
Like, no, I have, but for many, many years.
46:00
So that is the that is a car that I've I don't even remember the last one
46:03
I've seen one like, no.
46:08
But when you said the topic, I thought that came to mind Q 4 5 and 50.
46:12
Well, I want to raise the stakes.
46:14
So this is what we're going to do now.
46:15
So we're going to think about it has to be like realistic.
46:18
You're not going to say, oh, 1931 Pontiac or something stupid like that.
46:23
But like, how is it we know?
46:24
And we've seen and grew up with or seen, you know, and we're going to keep score.
46:29
So if, for example, if let's say I've already I'm not going to add
46:33
this to the scoop, because that's that was pre pre introduction to this.
46:37
But, you know, if you say if no one on the group see one,
46:40
bang, you get a point.
46:41
How does that sound? We'll do that.
46:44
I've got to think about the cars near just a real easy one.
46:48
The the last of the hold in Commodore's.
46:50
Yeah, you don't really see them. Yeah, you are.
46:53
Well, they were wrapped in cotton.
46:55
You're in people. Oh, yeah.
46:56
You're just you're you're talking about VF Commodore's.
47:00
I don't talk about the European ones.
47:05
Yeah, you don't see too many of those.
47:07
And you won't be seeing many more VFC later.
47:12
So the the Q45 that that they were a V8,
47:15
when they were like a four, four and a half.
47:17
Yeah, it's like four, four point five V8, something like that.
47:20
And that was there.
47:21
That was the Infiniti's first attempt at Australia.
47:24
And then this was a much better.
47:26
Yeah, it was like it was like that was that was the LS 400 of Infiniti.
47:30
And they never they never went anywhere.
47:33
It was the initial.
47:34
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:37
It's weird that they like, they must have so many.
47:41
Like, I'd love to know the actual number.
47:43
I mean, it would be a couple of hundred, maybe.
47:48
Maybe it was a thousand of them or something.
47:50
So they're not based on a maxima, right?
47:52
They're based on a drive.
47:53
So that's an instant SEMA or a glory or something.
47:57
Yeah, some other platform is not a maxima platform.
48:00
I'm sure that's weird.
48:01
Yeah. I mean, it's because this isn't even
48:03
sell those platforms in Australia.
48:05
And they're Japan only.
48:07
I'm pretty sure Japan only.
48:09
But yeah, even the Infiniti being on that platform,
48:11
being being sold here is a really weird choice, I guess.
48:15
They're really big in the States.
48:17
They are. They're massive.
48:18
They're massive in the States.
48:18
Like, like Infiniti's huge.
48:20
That's because Lexus LS 400 was really made for the US market.
48:25
So Infiniti was like, absolutely.
48:27
We have to compete with them.
48:28
So they made the Q45 and yeah, there's no brain itself.
48:32
They're like, yeah, that's a weird one.
48:33
I would have really competed.
48:35
Well, I would have thought competed.
48:36
Well, but like a statesman, you know, a V8, we will drive saloon.
48:40
It was ugly though, Chad.
48:43
I mean, it wasn't any more ugly than a VR statesman,
48:50
like a VR equivalent of a statesman.
48:52
They weren't looking either.
48:53
Yeah, no, good looking rig.
48:55
Let's be honest, like it wasn't.
48:57
Yeah. I mean, how much were they new?
48:59
Frameless doors, which is quite cool.
49:01
Yeah. So frameless windows.
49:03
I would say knew they were something like, you know, were they 80 grand?
49:10
But we'll just look at how much they were new.
49:13
So they sold them from 93 to 97.
49:17
Yeah. In 97, how much do you think they were?
49:20
So you're saying 80 grand?
49:23
Now, is that today's money or was that back then?
49:27
I mean, yeah, I would have thought 80 grand.
49:30
Yeah, somewhere there.
49:32
So I want to look up how much an LS 400 was.
49:36
Scotty and Rob, do you guys want to have a guess?
49:38
Because I've already seen the price,
49:39
which means I really can't be guessing.
49:41
I reckon 80 by 70s.
49:44
Well, I'm thinking by the sands of your voice,
49:46
this must be in the 90s.
49:49
Well, put it this way, when the LS 400 first came out,
49:51
it was one hundred and one hundred and nineteen grand.
49:53
Then it dropped by ten grand.
49:54
Then I went back to up about one hundred and ninety two,
49:56
jumped up to one hundred and forty grand.
49:58
Well, the Q 45 was one hundred and forty seven thousand
50:02
dollars, Australian mama and ninety seven.
50:06
So yeah, no wonder why they didn't really sell.
50:08
Why would you? Why would you?
50:09
I reckon the sale numbers would even be in the double digits,
50:12
not even triple digits at that price.
50:15
Talk about depreciation.
50:17
That thing now would be about three and a half grand
50:20
if you could find one.
50:21
Exactly. It's crazy.
50:26
I don't think you saw much.
50:28
So Rob said that ZB Commodore actually I actually saw one
50:31
the other day, I saw a Kalei
50:37
So like top of the.
50:38
Yeah, so that was a bit.
50:40
It was a tour as well.
50:42
So, you know, it was the touring and it was.
50:45
I mean, from all accounts, they're not a bad car,
50:47
but, you know, they're not.
50:51
And as you know, they went to Commodore.
50:52
What about you, Scotty?
50:53
Have you got one for us?
50:55
Mine's a little bit off, I think.
50:57
I was thinking a C43 AMG.
51:02
That is a good one.
51:02
I haven't seen one in a long time.
51:04
Yeah, no, I've seen one for sale, but not with my eyes.
51:08
Probably the last one I've seen in person was your one, Scotty.
51:11
Like it's been it's been that long since I've seen a C4.
51:13
I've seen a few C36s.
51:15
I've seen a couple C36s around in that,
51:17
but I haven't seen another C43.
51:19
I don't know where they're tucking them away.
51:22
Well, they weren't they didn't sell a lot of them.
51:24
Like they're quite a they were at the end of the two or two's life.
51:27
So they are they are quite a rare car.
51:29
Yeah. But yeah, that's a good one.
51:31
I'll come with the last one.
51:32
See one. What about you, Ed?
51:33
You seem my friend owned a wagon,
51:36
one of two in the country, supposedly.
51:38
So I did imagine that one of two.
51:41
One of two wagons. Cool.
51:44
I have seen he doesn't own it anymore, but I have seen that car.
51:47
Not, you know, a couple of years ago when he still had it.
51:52
And I've seen one advertised in the Japanese import
51:54
sedan recently, but I haven't seen the actual car.
51:57
I've seen that ad. Yeah.
52:00
Does that count? Is that half?
52:02
Well, I mean, it's all right.
52:04
We'll change the rules to like it's going to be in the last year.
52:07
OK, well, no, I haven't seen one the last year.
52:10
Then you don't get things.
52:11
Then Scotty gets the point.
52:15
Robert, when was the last thing you saw on?
52:22
No, no, I can't say 36 in my driveway.
52:30
I've got another one.
52:31
This is might be a bit easier.
52:33
A Volkswagen Scirocco.
52:36
Yeah, I saw one. I see one every day.
52:38
We're talking like a new one.
52:41
Yeah, like the latest one they did. Yeah.
52:43
Yeah. I mean, I saw one in Turkey.
52:45
So I guess if that sounds.
52:48
Yeah, this is a strain base.
52:50
Yeah, but they're pretty common here.
52:53
Yeah, I can't pinpoint the last time I saw one in Australia.
52:55
Yeah, see, they can't pinpoint it.
52:57
Well, like I don't think it would have been that long.
53:00
Well, obviously is because you can't pinpoint it.
53:02
There was the guy around the street from here.
53:04
He had a white one, which he wrote,
53:05
which he smashed the front of it really badly.
53:07
And he dropped like a cock anyway.
53:11
So he fixed it and he crashed it again.
53:14
Then he ended up with an S3,
53:15
which he also drove like a complete cock.
53:18
And then he ended up in some sort of beam up.
53:20
But there was a guy now that I see every day
53:23
driving up and down my road in a green like that.
53:26
You know, the green, the green frog car color they came in.
53:30
And it's just a mint original, very, very nice example.
53:34
And he drives it every day. So.
53:35
Well, there you go. You see it.
53:37
I see it. So Scotty's just saying I said 19.
53:39
Oh, I saw this car, Scotty.
53:41
This is 929, like Japanese import.
53:46
And it's just VIP specced to the max.
53:49
It's pretty awesome.
53:51
What I don't see anything on my side of town is 911 Carreras.
53:59
You don't see them there.
54:00
Don't see them, not on our side of town.
54:04
Mostly the odd one.
54:06
Yeah, you're on the right side of town.
54:12
Here's one for you.
54:13
Ford Cougar from the from 1999 to.
54:16
Oh, there's one on my way.
54:20
No, hang on. Cougar.
54:22
Oh, no, the old one.
54:24
Yeah, this is the coup.
54:27
Yeah. No, no, sorry.
54:29
I just are there any sort of.
54:32
There's a few about, but not a common thing.
54:35
No, not a common thing.
54:37
They weren't common when they were new.
54:38
They weren't a big seller.
54:39
I've got one for you.
54:40
Yep. Hold and shuttle van.
54:47
What's that based on?
54:49
Not based on anything, Chad.
54:50
It's its own thing.
54:53
OK, hang on a second.
54:54
I had to do a quick Google what the hell's the whole and shuttle van?
54:58
You don't see any old Toyota forerunners around anymore.
55:01
I've already got it.
55:03
I saw one not that long ago in Ocean Drive.
55:10
Yeah, forerunners are
55:12
there's a reason why you don't see them anymore
55:13
because they were all flogged to death
55:15
like quite literally all they all rusted away.
55:19
Classy Japan is always a forerunner or two.
55:21
Like if they the people have restored them and stuff.
55:25
The friend of mine who has a really cool
55:27
to run also has a forerunner
55:30
that he's building at the moment.
55:31
I guess that's the last one I would have seen by with my own eyes.
55:36
She really liked foreruns.
55:37
Foreruns are such cool cars.
55:39
Yeah, they're a good size.
55:41
Yeah, two seconds in.
55:42
But they've also got the removable roof.
55:46
Which I was like the coolest thing in the world.
55:48
Yeah, yeah, I've got one.
55:50
Two door Nissan Pathfinder.
55:53
Oh, man. Oh, the two door.
55:58
It's like a troop carrier, basically.
56:00
But, you know, small body.
56:02
Yeah, I don't know when I saw one of them
56:05
or even just any Nissan Pathfinder.
56:08
Didn't Nissan also have a two door patrol
56:10
and Pajero's also had a two door Pajero, didn't they?
56:14
Rado, Rado's, Land Cruisers.
56:18
But it's sort of the two door version back then.
56:20
Don't see any of those anymore, do you?
56:23
I saw a two door Pajero today.
56:29
And if they're cool, I really like those.
56:31
If you ever catch the train to and from Spencer Street Station,
56:35
it's in a multi level car park at the top level, the open level.
56:38
And it's right at train height.
56:39
So every time I go around that bench, which is not often,
56:42
but I'm always like, oh, yeah, still there, silver, two door.
56:46
Yeah, OK, it's just been abandoned.
56:48
No, I don't think it lives in an apartment nearby.
56:51
Can I just say out of all those shorties, that's.
56:54
It's the best proportion one.
56:57
Yeah, it's like three door RAV, like it looks correct.
57:01
Whereas the Prado just looked really weird.
57:04
It's like they just stopped with the Prado.
57:06
The two door Prado just looks wacko.
57:11
The two door patches, they they looked like they were designed to be a two door patch.
57:15
Yeah, two door patrols are also good proportions as well.
57:18
Yeah, I'd agree with that.
57:19
They weren't too bad.
57:20
They feel boxy as like they're really like they're almost as wide as they are long.
57:27
But they have those like sort of proportion
57:29
looking proportions. Yeah, that's right.
57:32
All right, I got one.
57:38
I saw one of those not long ago.
57:41
I haven't seen one in in real life around.
57:44
If only I haven't seen one in the past year.
57:46
Like I can think further back and I don't really see him at car shows or anything
57:50
anymore or I did see one actually not long ago.
57:55
Probably weeks. Oh, nice.
57:58
So you're in this way.
57:59
Yeah, I'm with you, so I haven't seen one in a long time.
58:02
The last time I saw one was at the.
58:05
The barbecue, the Honda Club barbecue last year.
58:08
Oh, yeah, that was the last time I've seen one.
58:10
Oh, yeah, there's one there. Yeah, that's right.
58:12
That's that's been the last it's been it's been every year.
58:14
So I haven't seen one.
58:15
But I forgot what the score is, but we'll have to we'll have to come up
58:19
next time with three each and then see who ends up winning.
58:22
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good for you.
58:25
Here's one for you.
58:26
Nissan R31 Pintara.
58:31
When was I haven't seen a Pintara in forever?
58:35
Like I can't remember that.
58:36
Yeah, I took a round.
58:38
I couldn't tell you when I saw one, but they're around.
58:40
I see plenty of thirty ones.
58:41
But not I see skylines and stuff.
58:44
If they're not the Pintara.
58:47
Last Pintara I saw was my grandpa's.
58:50
Yeah, but it's been over a year since he's had it.
58:52
So I can't count that one.
58:54
Yeah, no, it's been it's been a long time since I've seen a Pintara.
58:56
What about have you seen his Pintara?
58:58
No, I can't say I have.
59:00
I'll go on for you.
59:05
Oh, oh, forever ago.
59:08
Yeah, dude on the road, for sure.
59:10
Dude, no one saw them when they were new.
59:11
What do you mean? I know they're a rare bird.
59:15
Saw one on YouTube yesterday.
59:20
What were you searching?
59:21
Yeah, someone made a video about that.
59:25
Pommy guys doing up some cars.
59:30
Yeah, you bought one.
59:33
You know, Rob, here's a story for you.
59:35
And I were at the wreck is a couple of couple of weeks ago
59:38
and we saw a Excel seven there.
59:41
And I'm like, that's a bit of Rob and you said Rob had one of those.
59:45
And I'm like, really, it was quite a cool car.
59:49
Yeah, you love that car, didn't you, Rob?
59:51
You say it was fantastic.
59:53
The we had it for six or seven years and faultless.
00:00
Yeah, that was a big trip.
00:03
Yeah, that's some trips through Tassie,
00:06
San Junes of Beachport and Robe.
00:09
Yeah, right along the beach break.
00:12
It's a proper full drive.
00:14
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are made of mine.
00:16
Had a still has it.
00:18
The big F two fifty four drive thing
00:21
and we're going down the hills
00:22
and back back about disappointment.
00:23
Real steep, righted out track in my case.
00:26
Oh, don't bring your Suzuki down here.
00:28
You know, you're going to get stuck.
00:30
I said to make keep on going on right behind you.
00:36
And from memory, from memory,
00:38
Rob, those things were about like twenty eight grand or something.
00:42
I think I paid thirty two.
00:46
Yeah, for it was, I think there's two variants.
00:51
So I had to tow a bar and other bits and pieces.
00:54
I'm sure it wasn't the top of the range
00:56
because the top range one, I think even had a sunroof.
01:00
Which mine didn't have, but it was thirty thirty two.
01:03
They got leather, the top ones, I think, too.
01:05
Yeah, they had leather sunroof.
01:07
Yeah. Yeah, it's a cracking.
01:10
Yeah, you don't see them very often. No.
01:13
So, Rob, would you have that or would you have a Jimny after owning both?
01:17
Oh, Vitara day in, day out.
01:20
Well, OK, well, it was a bit cool.
01:22
It's a massive call, massive call without question.
01:25
All right, I've got kind of two.
01:28
I'm just wondering if you've one of them you've probably never
01:30
you haven't seen, but one of them you could have.
01:32
But I just noticed I don't really seem that often anymore.
01:43
HSV GTS with the trispoke rims.
01:46
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
01:47
That's a rare one. Yeah.
01:50
So the VSS, I see one quite often
01:54
because one of my students dad's got one and.
01:57
Oh, yeah. And he drops it means it's a beautiful color.
02:03
Is it white? Yeah, nice.
02:05
Why would the with the red kind of strap around it in the body mornings?
02:10
And he's put it's got a nice little
02:11
exhaust stock wheels, but it's like it's it looks like it's beautiful.
02:16
And they've got a good note that like the bird was great.
02:19
But a but a but a HSV like a like a clubby with with the trispoke.
02:23
Oh, no, man, I haven't seen one in a very long time.
02:26
That that's actually I mean, where have they all gone?
02:28
They used to be everywhere.
02:30
I think people chop them up for the swaps.
02:34
Well, I think they chop them up in just all of the parts.
02:38
Yeah, because at one point like that, they're worth nothing.
02:40
Yeah, they're worth nothing.
02:41
And it was more worth more in parts.
02:44
What was the swift variant, the GTI?
02:47
Was it a GTI swift?
02:52
Yeah. Yeah, you don't see to me
02:56
there's a guy in the nuggets circles that has like five of them.
03:04
All early ones, all boxy ones.
03:06
Oh, he's got like three or four boxy ones and one like second gen.
03:11
But he yeah, he's a swift nutter.
03:15
He tracks all of them, I think.
03:17
Yeah. And like two or three of them are turbocharged.
03:20
And yeah, he loves them.
03:24
They were a cool car.
03:25
Yeah. I actually saw I actually saw the later model one, the second gen
03:30
on Sunday, I was going to lunch and a white one just drove past me.
03:33
I was like, what the hell?
03:34
Like they're like a big GTI on the back.
03:37
Geez. Yeah, it was cool.
03:38
It was really neat to was it like, you know,
03:41
was it a traffic car or someone like had built in stuff?
03:45
Look like a traffic car.
03:45
Like these things like a survivor.
03:47
Yeah. Well, genuinely, a survivor.
03:50
So I was like, oh, GTI, I've got one.
03:53
Is this a I think it's the first gen they made these.
03:58
But Lexus LS460, which is the big, big body saloon.
04:04
Yeah, they were like
04:06
22,000 later, two thousand early 2000s.
04:09
Yeah. So after the LS430, yeah, yeah.
04:15
For sale, I have, but not in person.
04:19
For sale, I've seen them.
04:21
It's just me, gentlemen, or those Lexus,
04:24
they just didn't hold their value like the old, like the earlier ones.
04:26
Like they were just, they just weren't really worth much.
04:29
And like, like and they'd appreciate it so much
04:33
that I think people are like, I'd rather just write this off
04:35
and, you know, then then cop the blame.
04:38
I think there's a lot of Japanese imports, too.
04:41
In those later models, like this parallel Japanese imports,
04:44
whereas the early cars were only Aussie delivered, you know, obviously.
04:51
Yeah. I mean, the LS400s, I mean, they were expensive,
04:55
but like, but they, but they did come cheaper eventually.
04:57
But like, though, like an LS430, it's like a five grand car all day every day.
05:04
And they've been like that forever,
05:05
like that they just never really got any, any appreciation.
05:07
So I don't know. It's it's it's a bit of a weird one.
05:13
My last one for the night before we move to the car quiz, gentlemen,
05:16
is lost as a current car on sale.
05:18
I can't remember the last one I've seen one besides a dealership
05:23
is the same with Lexus, the the LC 500.
05:28
There is one I see time to time.
05:30
And it's always in the evening
05:35
and is coming up Pascavale Road and turning on to the freeway.
05:39
It's a silver drop top LC 500.
05:42
And every time I say, I'm like, holy crap, that is a
05:45
because it looks so out of place, especially like in the traffic in the
05:48
it looks out of place in the area.
05:50
It looks like, oh, yeah, especially in the north.
05:53
But yeah, it's such a weird look.
05:54
It's an alien like it's 100 percent an alien car.
06:00
Yeah, maybe every like every other week I see it in traffic.
06:05
But yeah, I ain't I ain't seen that car.
06:08
Can I just say, have you guys ever sat in one of those?
06:11
No, no, it is the nicest finished car
06:14
I've ever seen. Honestly.
06:16
And I've sat in a Maybach and this this made the Maybach look like shit.
06:18
Wow. It's a quality like in May, like the fit and finish,
06:22
the use of materials.
06:24
It was just outstanding.
06:26
Well, I see it goes with 100,000 k's on it, because, you know,
06:30
Lexus can look a little tired with a few miles on them.
06:34
I think especially new Lexuses.
06:36
Yeah, definitely. They don't they don't hold up like some Germans.
06:41
I think they're different.
06:42
I think the I think they're too big to differ.
06:46
I've seen I've seen modernist classes with with the Dush's peeling.
06:48
So that's not the oldest class, not the one to six.
06:56
Any last ones, gentlemen, before we move on.
07:00
Ford laser Sony explode edition.
07:04
Yes, one for sale recently.
07:09
Crazy. There's one for sale.
07:11
You know, I was like, OK, so I mentioned in the group chat.
07:16
Chad, have you got anywhere to stay?
07:18
If if I if I do, because I will be I will be divorced quick.
07:22
I'm going to spare bedroom.
07:23
Yeah, thank you. Thank you.
07:25
You can come to my house any time, many.
07:26
Better place you can hide it.
07:28
Yeah. Well, Rob, I might have to take you up with that.
07:31
It's got a panic. Yeah.
07:35
Because I I was OK.
07:37
So I was talking to Steph and I'm like, so she's like, no.
07:41
I didn't even get to say the car.
07:42
She's like, no, no.
07:44
So I'm like, it's just it's a one of four.
07:47
Yeah. It's a special case, too.
07:50
I was tempted to be pretty low case there.
07:53
Rob is tempted, even.
07:56
Is that that and the SR2?
07:59
That's a nice little pair. Yeah.
08:01
Is it still for sale?
08:02
That's the laser ultimate combo.
08:04
It is someone has someone grabbed it for a half.
08:07
No, I think it was a four.
08:08
Did this come up for sale a little while ago?
08:11
Did it sell or do you think maybe the guy just took it down
08:14
and he re-listed it? Yeah.
08:17
Because there was a turbo one that was 17 grand, not too long ago.
08:19
Do you guys know that one?
08:21
And I was like, like, look, it's cool, but it's not 17 grand cool.
08:25
And then there was there was a real mounted one for like three.
08:28
But that was the ripped seats and everything.
08:30
And then there was the analysis one.
08:32
So out of all the four, three have been on for sale
08:34
for the last, you know, little amount of time.
08:41
It's pretty cool next to yours.
08:44
I'm happy to do a GoFundMe
08:46
if you guys want to help out with that.
08:48
But they really only get two grand car, aren't they?
08:50
Really, they are. They are.
08:51
And but, you know, it is my birthday next week, gentlemen.
08:54
So, you know, if you.
08:57
You know, just just putting it out there to the universe.
09:02
I mean, it's pretty cool kit that it came with.
09:05
Like it's it's very so out there.
09:08
I mean, awesome back then to have those subs
09:11
and that and everything in the food, like that was crazy.
09:18
I just want to see it.
09:20
I just want to just go next to it and see it and just be like, OK,
09:22
I've witnessed this this this explode.
09:26
Sort of ten isn't it?
09:27
It's in Melbourne somewhere.
09:31
So anyway, before I get divorced, we'll move on to love
09:35
though, you couldn't even get out what the car was.
09:38
Then it was just like, no, you've got the car buying face on.
09:41
She's like, no, which is what I get from my wife every time I go.
09:46
Hey, daddy, it's easy to ask.
09:49
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
09:51
You should know that I'm still trying to get forgiveness for the Camry.
09:54
And it's it's been it took a while to get to get out of the doghouse for that one.
09:58
The thing about the camera is you can always get your money back.
10:00
You can sell it and you'll still get your money.
10:02
It's still there in an asset.
10:05
Buy a dress or get your hair done and get your nails done.
10:08
You never get that money back.
10:09
Rob's Rob's diving into dangerous territory with lives over here.
10:14
I mean, you can't get any more rare than that.
10:17
Can't go any lower than the price it is now.
10:20
Maybe you need to go there.
10:21
One hundred and fifteen K's that car.
10:24
Maybe we just need to see it.
10:25
Like just just go and see where is he.
10:28
Let's get four four equal shares.
10:31
There's there's other we could do that.
10:34
And we've got a one of four.
10:36
I got I got a look at a thousand somewhere lying around.
10:38
Yeah, we can do that.
10:40
We can do tap laps with like the subs blaring.
10:43
Oh, that would be the best.
10:45
That would be the best.
10:47
So we have a boost gauge on the on the dash pillow.
10:52
Because two came turbocharged and two were naturally aspirated.
10:56
So it couldn't be in a turbocharged one, but it doesn't say.
10:58
Or is it? I don't know.
11:04
Because because of the battery is getting drained.
11:08
Oh, that's so funny.
11:10
Do you know how cool is it?
11:12
I mean, it's like it roughly does the same.
11:19
How did you guys tell what how many kilometers are on it?
11:25
It's somewhere on the bottom.
11:27
Oh, in the mileage details section.
11:31
I never trust that in the city.
11:33
Rob, like East Melbourne, like right near town.
11:38
Look at it on the weekend.
11:41
Oh, man, this is a this is a dangerous, dangerous one.
11:44
When I go to look at cars, you know, things happen.
11:48
You know, I know they do edits.
11:49
I know they drive in yours.
11:51
We could be driving the other one.
11:52
My son in law could be driving his S2 block up.
11:57
Three hours going down a road.
11:59
Oh, can you imagine?
12:01
Laser, laser, laser, laser beam.
12:06
OK, I've got to figure out in the podge later.
12:16
Please write me a letter.
12:17
So we're going to revisit this and we're going to come up with three H
12:21
and we're going to say you tell you what you meant, revisit as in the laser.
12:28
We're going to revisit the
12:29
what cars have we seen in a long time?
12:33
But I think it's not for the car,
12:37
So I'm just moving away.
12:40
So so he's slow, he's slow, he's no shenanigans.
12:43
So no shenanigans can can be ensued.
12:46
You got to hear the the the podcast of NASA.
12:50
I'm uploading it last week.
12:52
Well, mate, the shenanigans were called numerous times.
12:55
Was I on this week?
12:56
You were on Edward on last week.
12:58
Oh, it was. I remember being in an angry episode.
13:00
Was Alan a bit angry or something?
13:04
David and Alan were punching on.
13:06
David and Alan were punching on.
13:07
It was the funniest thing ever.
13:09
Probably when I missed it.
13:11
He tries to steal my segment at the end of the bastard.
13:17
You got angry at the end there, Scotty.
13:21
Scotty never gets angry.
13:22
I think I think fair reason.
13:24
I think fair reason.
13:26
I'm with you on that.
13:28
I'm with you on that.
13:29
Let's get into the car,
13:29
who's 10 questions plus some questions.
13:31
Question one, the Audi five cylinder
13:33
that is found in the RS3 and RSQ3
13:36
is said to have had how many years left to be in production
13:39
due to not making emissions?
13:54
Incorrect. It's two.
13:55
They said two years later.
13:58
My latest question.
13:59
What are the badge products?
14:01
Yeah, that's right.
14:03
Are they planning on putting that five cylinder engine in?
14:07
As a special edition, Chad.
14:09
It is in like one models coming up.
14:11
That's going to have the engine.
14:13
And it's a Volkswagen Audi group car.
14:15
So it doesn't have to be an Audi.
14:17
I'm just just just saying.
14:20
Chad got in there first.
14:21
OK. Your next time.
14:23
I reckon they will do it in the Golf R.
14:27
They're going to do a Golf R.
14:28
There's already two.
14:29
Like a special edition or something.
14:32
With the five cylinder.
14:33
Is there more than one?
14:34
Is there more than one model?
14:38
Question number two.
14:40
Kia has sold its one millionth car in Australia.
14:44
What car did they sell at their one millionth, Chad?
14:47
Tell me it wasn't a Tasman.
14:49
The Tasman was their millionth car.
14:51
Oh, how embarrassing.
14:52
Yeah, that's a million cars in Australia.
14:56
I'll be ashamed of that.
14:59
Tasman around the corner from where I live.
15:04
I said there's a Tasman at my work
15:06
and I see it every day, leaving work in the car park.
15:08
And it looks so awful.
15:11
Just want to knock on the door and interview the person
15:14
and just find out what major buyer to, you know, just trying.
15:20
You'll get out of the car with a with a
15:21
like a like a like a walking bike.
15:25
Yeah, because because he's the car has Braille in it, obviously.
15:29
Zero percent finance, maybe free giveaways.
15:34
Twenty years free servicing.
15:37
That's a good deal.
15:37
That's a great deal.
15:38
I'll buy that for that.
15:40
Question number three.
15:41
Which of the following brands did not have a K series engine?
15:45
So so these are these are the following brands.
15:48
Which one did not have a K series engine?
15:50
Ford, Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Rover, BMW or Mercedes Benz?
16:02
Was it the BMW? Incorrect.
16:03
BMW had a K series engine.
16:06
So that leaves you Ford, Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Rover.
16:08
I don't know what a K series engine is.
16:10
It's just like it's just like the K series of like a it's like
16:13
the designation of a K series.
16:14
They've they've they've they've had Mercedes.
16:18
Mercedes Benz did not.
16:20
That is that is correct.
16:22
Question number four.
16:23
At which auto show did Mazda debut the first generation MX five?
16:31
It was the Japanese show, I think.
16:35
Chad. The Geneva. Incorrect.
16:39
Robin Scott, you get to play.
16:41
Rob, L.A. mother show.
16:43
You're getting warmer, Rob, but incorrect.
16:45
They give you point five.
16:45
You've got the country, right?
16:46
They give you point five, Rob.
16:52
Kind of think of what like Seymour Incorrect.
16:56
They debuted it at the Chicago auto show.
16:59
I go here because they had was big
17:02
involvement from America because their design team
17:04
actually won the design of the guy out of all their teams.
17:09
The design credo for the MX five is Jinba.
17:13
Jinba it's it's I what does this mean?
17:16
It means like horse and rider as one.
17:22
Yeah, I'll pay that.
17:23
Not to. Yeah, I'll pay that.
17:26
Score check. Scotty at the score.
17:30
Chad and Ed on to a piece.
17:32
Question number five.
17:33
That's where we're at the halfway point.
17:34
In what country is the super the current super made?
17:43
In Chad, isn't made in Japan.
17:46
It's Germany, right?
18:00
It's been in Austria of all places.
18:02
Well, it's made on the same line as the BMW Z.
18:09
Sticking with BMWs.
18:12
The Z in the BMW Z or Z.
18:15
Have you got to say it stands for?
18:20
What does this mean in English?
18:22
What does Zooknift mean in English?
18:26
Can we have it in a sentence?
18:32
The BMW is is always looking to the Zooknift.
18:42
Chad got in there first.
18:46
It's the future looking ahead.
18:49
I'll pay the future, yeah.
18:50
I'll pay that, Chad.
18:53
Question number seven.
18:55
Which series of the Ford Falcon removed the future of
18:58
Fairmont and Fremont gear badges from their names?
19:03
Scott got in there.
19:07
They still had them.
19:07
You said you removed them.
19:10
Ed got in there next.
19:19
They went to G series and.
19:22
Question number eight.
19:24
For how many years did the Holden Adventure run for?
19:37
I think it was across V1, VZ.
19:41
It was designed in the VY, but I think it came out at the start of VZ,
19:46
but it still shared a lot of VY parts.
19:47
But anyway, I'm going to say.
19:56
It only ran for three years.
20:03
The Holden was on the cruise.
20:17
Was it the Captiva 5?
20:20
It was the Captiva that replaced it.
20:21
That's what I meant to say.
20:23
That's what I meant to say.
20:23
A horrible car to be replaced by.
20:25
Horrifically bad car to replace.
20:27
I don't think adventures are particularly wildbills.
20:31
I mean, they were on a VZ or VY VZ chassis,
20:33
so it couldn't be that bad.
20:38
Ed, what would you take, a Captiva or an adventurer?
20:47
I'd actually have an adventurer.
20:50
Adventurer, LX8, so luxury V8.
20:53
It was like a silver without cream interior.
20:56
It actually looked good.
20:58
Yeah, cream leather.
20:58
How about the Avalanche?
21:01
How cool is an Avalanche?
21:05
They saw about four of them.
21:08
I feel like I've seen the four that they ever saw
21:11
So they're so cool.
21:16
Question number nine.
21:17
Mercedes is marking 30 years of which of their models this year?
21:21
Chad got in there first.
21:32
They've gone longer histories than that.
21:34
You've gone that, yeah.
21:36
Think outside the box, Goddy.
21:38
Think outside the box.
21:39
Oh, I think I know.
21:40
Oh, yeah, I do know now.
21:45
No, that's been going since like 1971.
21:48
Chad, do we get another go?
21:49
I'll give you guys another round.
21:52
Sprinter van is correct.
21:56
It's been 30 years of the first Sprinter
21:58
and they're putting like a special limit.
21:59
How noisy are the dips in those things?
22:03
We'll have to ask Chad's uncle.
22:07
They probably built those too, yeah.
22:09
Question number 10.
22:11
In the movie, my cousin Vinny,
22:13
Marissa Tomay's character, Mona Lisa Vito, what her name,
22:19
mentions what car as the car that committed the crime, Ed?
22:25
No, that's incorrect.
22:26
It was the Buick Skylark was not the car that did it.
22:28
Oh, it was not the car.
22:35
I've never seen the movie.
22:38
It's an all-time great.
22:40
Well, it got a palsy traction rear end.
22:43
It's one of the all-time greats.
22:45
You've got to watch it.
22:45
What's that clip even?
22:47
Just the clip of her in the courtroom.
22:50
It's every guy's dream watching that video.
22:53
Yeah, it's a kind of dream.
22:57
If it wasn't the Buick Skylark, was it the,
23:01
It was a Pontiac, but you've had your go.
23:06
I'll give you a point five if no one else gets it.
23:08
So, you know, it's a Pontiac.
23:09
It's like a clip that's got the lawyer that's Joe Pesci.
23:11
Yeah, that's the one.
23:12
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:15
You guys have to watch the movie.
23:17
It's such a good movie.
23:30
No, you're correct.
23:31
And so, Ed, I'll give you the point if you give me.
23:34
So, you've got point five for saying Pontiac.
23:36
I'll give you the other half if you.
23:38
Oh, it's not a Laurentian, is it?
23:42
No, that's incorrect.
23:43
It was the Pontiac Tempest.
23:46
Tempest, that's right.
23:47
Now, bonus question.
23:49
So, you've got point five there, Edward.
23:52
What is the reason that this is the case?
23:56
Because there were twin, I'm sitting up now.
24:00
I'm taking notice because there were twin black lines
24:03
that went up and over a curb and the lines were continuous
24:08
And Marissa's point was that the car that left those
24:12
had to have like a limited slip diff or whatever.
24:16
The traction traction, it was the name for it back then
24:19
So that the other model, the Buick Skyline,
24:23
never had that till a later year.
24:24
So, it could not have left twin black lines
24:27
over that median strip in the way that it did.
24:32
I'll give you point five
24:34
because there's another reason.
24:37
No, that would have been the main reason, the best reason.
24:41
That was the reason.
24:42
There's two reasons, Edward.
24:45
Incorrect, the same tyre width.
24:47
No, it was the twin black lines.
24:49
So, what else was it?
24:51
And I think it was the transmission
24:53
related to the transmission.
24:54
Incorrect, no idea.
24:58
Was it the wheel base?
25:00
Incorrect, the same wheel base.
25:02
It was the only car besides the Corvette
25:04
that had independent rear suspension.
25:06
So, it was able to go over the curb like that
25:09
Yeah, like that, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:10
So, that is a, it's a cracking clip.
25:13
You saw the clip after the show.
25:15
I've not watched the whole film straight
25:17
after some in the mood, yeah.
25:19
It's a great movie.
25:21
I'm watching it tonight.
25:23
I'm gonna watch it.
25:24
I'm gonna go home and watch it tonight.
25:25
I'm gonna watch it tonight.
25:25
I'm gonna watch it right now.
25:26
You're gonna put your motorway, Chad?
25:29
I watched a bit of it.
25:30
I didn't finish it, but I watched the start
25:33
and it was incredible, yeah.
25:36
That's such a good film.
25:37

now that Alam's not taking you off.
27:47
Got to be the week four, this week is,
27:50
remember when you're playing golf,
27:52
you're not always going to be hitting it off flat ground.
27:55
So if you're hitting it off a hill,
27:57
that's kind of where you're standing on it
27:59
and it's going downhill to the right of you,
28:04
remember your ball, if you try and hit it straight,
28:07
is actually going to go flying out to the right,
28:09
so aim more to the left.
28:11
And then vice versa.
28:14
Compensation, yeah.
28:15
Yeah, got to compensate or else it's just going to go,
28:19
