Welcome to Car Talk.
It's Tuesday night here at 98.9 North West FM.
It's me, Matty J, in the studio with Mr. Chadne Bauer.
How are you doing, Chad?
Welcome back.
Hello.
Thank you very much.
I am good.
Online with the one and only Scurrito Johnson.
How are you, mate?
I'm doing well.
Thank you very much.
Very good.
Good to see you, boys.
Good to see you, Chad.
Thank you.
How was the motherland?
The motherland was pretty good.
Yeah, it was, you know, it was hot.
It was bloody hot.
It looked like it was hot.
There's, yeah, some might say there's a, you know, it's on fire.
No, yeah, a bit of a heat wave, but no.
It was good.
It was really good.
You know, I did a lot of interesting car spotting.
You know, looking at weird, weird and wonderful models that they've got.
Tudor Corolla, Tudor Focus, Tudor Swift.
Nothing that we get here, obviously.
Yeah.
No, it was really good.
You know, driving over there was a whole other ball game, obviously.
It's, it's like just, it's a free for all everyone.
Everyone's just trying to get to where they're going and no regardless.
But, you know, somewhat I was less stressed driving over there than I was in Melbourne,
which is weird.
Example.
Example.
So nobody follows the rules.
Yeah.
Therefore there are no rules.
Therefore everyone kind of just gives each other a little bit of space.
So it's kind of good.
It is.
Yeah.
It's, which I thought was weird.
I'm like, I'm going to hate it because nobody follows it.
No, actually it kind of works.
It's like when there are no rules, then everybody's on a playing field level playing
field and everyone just kind of gives each other a little bit of wiggle room.
Yeah.
And it somehow works out.
But here, as soon as one person doesn't follow the rules, all hell breaks loose.
Right.
Like they, you know, they end up cutting across a lane and then cutting off
four people or something.
Right.
There's potentially four people being injured or, you know, whatever, like,
affected by, but over there, people just do what they want.
So you just get stuff at whatever, you know, I'm just, I'm just not going to
pay attention to it because it's, it's happening.
It's happening 24 seven.
Therefore you can't just get upset about someone not indicating or about
someone cutting you off.
You just, you know, you just kind of go, yeah, you know, whatever.
It is what it is.
I'm just going to keep just, you know, just be aware.
But everybody's way more aware.
Okay.
That's what I've also noticed.
Okay.
Everyone just goes.
It's actually paying attention.
Yes.
But also, also being on their phone 24 seven as well.
So like people will literally just stare at their phone and drive.
And on top of that, they'll be like speeding.
They'll be drinking a coffee at the same time.
They're changing gears with the other hand.
Like it's, it is pandemonium.
But through chaos, there's some sort of like, you know,
I didn't see a single accident and I drove for, I don't know,
maybe two and a half thousand kilometers the whole time I was there.
I did a fair bit of driving and like I felt way more, you know,
in control of the things around me than I would over here,
which I thought was really weird because I didn't,
I don't think I should have felt that.
No.
I don't know what it is.
But, you know,
shout outs Turkey for not having any rules and therefore, you know,
just like keeping the country going somehow.
And, but yeah, look,
I also did pop out of over to Greece for a little while and that
was to take to Tikanis.
Yes.
And that was like being in a whole other like world.
Like that was so different to Turkey at the time.
Yeah.
I mean,
you can see literally you can see if some from some of the islands
you can see Turkey and somehow it's just white like worlds apart.
And it's like, I actually hate a driving in Greece.
Really?
Driving in Greece was just so aggravating because nobody had
any awareness of anything going on.
So there'd be a guy on an ATV doing three things.
You know,
you know,
and there's like a line of 25 cars behind him just holding up the
whole world and not pulling over and nothing like he was just.
He was just in his own world.
He's sipping a frappe cappuccino.
Fredo cappuccino.
Sorry for all that Greek viewers.
And,
you know,
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
I'm a big fan of cappuccino.
So if I'm all that Greek viewers and,
you know,
looking at his phone while writing an ATV on the road,
no helmet with his girlfriend in the back.
No helmet.
That's wild.
Yeah, it was just crazy.
And it was,
it was, yeah,
it was way,
way more aggravating than,
you know,
driving in Turkey somehow,
which I thought would be the opposite because,
you know,
Greece is in the EU.
I don't want to get political here,
but how are they in the EU first of all,
it was chaos.
Like everybody was just out to do their own thing,
but with no regard to anybody else.
anybody else, which in Turkey, it was similar, but people had an
understanding of what everyone else was trying to do. So they
would give each other, you know, breathing room and a bit of
space and kind of like, you know, letting people through or
whatever it is. Grease had none of that. Grease was just
like, yeah, it was just, it was chaos.
My brother driven risk is like his, his wife's great. Oh
right. Yeah.
Like they're all families, you know, great, great, great.
Yeah, full, full to kind of
Christos Anesti Greek, like, full, full on, you know, great,
great. He's like, I went there and he had an Opel Corsa as a
no, yeah, yeah, nice. And he's like, I still managed to crash
that. He's like, oh my God, he left it. He left it. He's put
in the clutch and it rolled back and he's like, I survived the
whole trip without without. He's like, it's cool. I rolled
back into somebody. Oh, no. Anyway, but, but he's like,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He's like, nobody
does anything there. No, no, no, no. It's just like, they're
all relaxing. Yeah, I literally just there's no roadworks
being done because the guys are just standing around having a
cigarette and a coffee. There's just donkeys on the road. And
like, it's, it's, it's a weird, it's a weird, wonderful
place. But um, yeah, I don't recommend driving at all. But
yeah, no, look, I had a really good trip. Um, I was
away for a little bit and I missed all the boys and
missed talking crap about cars. And yeah, I'm glad to be
back. Yeah, we missed you on the show. We said numerous
jokes about you and your uncle. That's the Ford in, you
know, needing to get Robert Diff. Yes, absolutely. So yeah. So
that was all part of the experience. Yes, it's
definitely. There's a J2 holiday for sure. But yeah, it's
good to have you back, mate. Um, really, uh, you know,
it's, you know, there's a big chad shaped hole when
you don't yell. So thank you. So it's, it is good. It's
good to have you back. And, and hopefully, hopefully the
trip went well. Hopefully, um, you know, you got to see
if you're assuming you saw your family. I did. Yeah, I saw
family there. And, um, that was probably about a
wake worth of traveling with family, like seeing them. And
then the rest of it was just me and my wife just
sort of like sightseeing and which I hadn't even done
and really myself in Turkey. So I got to see a lot of
stuff that I haven't seen before. And Greece was
obviously, yeah, it was a whole new experience for
me because I'd never been to Greece and, you know,
being on an island and all that sort of like, we
went to Rhodes, which was just one of the biggest
islands that they've got there. And, um, yeah, it
was, um, it was a super cool experience seeing some
literally thousand year old things and, uh, my
buildings that I still like somehow together. And
yeah, it was really, it was an incredible
experience. And, um, yeah. Yeah, I'd actually
love to go because like, there's just so much
history, like, especially in Turkey, it was an
end. Like it's just, yeah, exactly. There's a lot
of crossover to like between them. And, um, you
know, they all invaded each other's country. They
all lived, uh, in the same place. And they all
ate, you know, the food was so similar and, you
know, like the, the, the cultures are so
similar in some sense. And then so far away
from each other at the same time. Um, yeah,
now it was super, super cool experience. I
really definitely recommend everybody to check
them out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just a
logitech room. Yeah. Yeah, I bet. I'm, I'm
keen to get over there. Absolutely. I can
recommend a few things. Yeah. Please do. And
I'll go to the Ford factory, speak to your
uncle. Yeah. And bring it back. Oh, we can
figure that out. Uh, Scotty Doe. How
you doing, man? Yeah, pretty good. Just
plugging away. It's doing the use with
work. With work. Very good. Any holidays
planned? No, nothing planned. So nothing
as exciting as, as Chad's experience. He's
just a holiday to, uh, to, to Turkey. Nothing
as awesome as that. Well, we get on with
some car updates. Scotty, we'll start with
you, man. Updates with you, Brilla. What's
happening? Um, not so much on the car
front, but leading towards that. So, um,
since I've got the shed up and everything
I've started to put some things in the
shed and get that all sorted, which
means the garage is looking a lot more
emptier. So at the moment, there's two
cars sitting in there. So we've got the
blade and the inside in there. Okay. So
can fit two cars in there now. And so
does this mean the 31 can possibly
sneak home? Yeah, it can. So I just
got to move a couple more things
because I still got plenty of room
left in the shed. Yeah. And just tidy
it up a bit in the garage to make it a
little bit of a neater. So I kind of
just stack things on the back for now
until I realize where I want to, where
I want to put it and get nice and
tidy. And then yeah, it can, it can
live in there. Yeah, nice. I mean, you
can, you can chip away at it, do
things. Yep. Do all the little bits
and pieces that I want to and take
it out now and again and give a run
to work sometimes. Yeah, that's the
aim.
Not upset.
But yeah, it's a bit more roomier in
there than I thought. So yeah, our
two cars fit in there nicely.
That's exciting.
That's your updates. Chad, updates
with you, man?
So car updates. I didn't manage to
do a whole lot before I left to go
overseas. I, yeah, well, now four
weeks ago, I kind of remember what I
did, but so I got back last week
and I've been trying to plug away
at some little bits and pieces.
And I had the Mercedes at the
paint shop, which unfortunately,
thanks to you, Matty, I was able to,
you know, with your help, I was
able to get a relay and all that
sort of stuff to get it going.
And unfortunately, yeah, so that
actually ended up being the
issue, I think, which ended up
being well, no, it wasn't. So I
think my relay that I pulled out
of the Mercedes was broken, but it
was just the outside was broken.
I think so. But I thought, you
know, maybe if I get a new relay
might help. But it didn't. But
that's OK. It's still good to have
those as I found out, they're
very sort of sought after,
especially the especially OEM
ones. They're very sought after
and it's just good to have a
spare anyway. So thank you for
that. I really appreciate you
digging around for that. And then
so I went back to the Mercedes.
I think the second day after I got
back and I just did some tests.
I made sure it wasn't the
relays. And then I tried to see
if the only other thing that I
could think was the fuel pump.
So I was not able to hear the
fuel pump prime at all.
It was making no sound.
So I borrowed a multimeter from
business next door and I tested,
you know, the connection to the
fuel pump and it was getting
power, even though it was low
because the battery was a bit,
you know, it's down on amps and
whatnot. But it was getting
power. So I thought, well, you
know, there's power there.
So therefore there should be
fuel pump working. But I think
the fuel pump had had it.
So I sourced a new one from
a place in Tullamarine called
Jeez. So they they they work
with swan fuel pumps and
I think they're a distributor or
a supplier for swan.
So I was able to get one for a
really good price because, you
know, Repco had one and it was an
exorbitant amount that I just
was not able. I couldn't
justify. So, you know, I found
one for a really good price in
a place in Tullamarine and, you
know, it was a little kit that
comes with all the stuff you
need, all the connectors.
I went back yesterday and I
fitted the new fuel pump.
And yeah, that was it.
And the car fired straight up
basically. I drained the fuel
that was in the tank and I put
some fresh like 10 litres of
fresh fuel in it and the first
crank and it was just up and
running. Yeah. And I was like,
wow, I just I really expected
it to be a bigger struggle
than that. But thankfully, yeah,
that seemed to be it. So now
that, you know, the car is
able to be moved by its own
power. The painter said, you
know, he'll get on to it
and he'll start working on it.
So, yeah, fingers crossed.
Within the next couple of weeks,
I think it should be done at
least it'll be in primer and
then I can sort out hopefully
a livery for it and get it
wrapped and all that stuff.
And yeah, but obviously, once
the paint's done, it's still
got a lot of work to do.
There's a lot of mechanical
stuff that needs to sort of be
sorted out, you know,
bushings and I did notice,
hey, it's an all car.
Yeah, there's 40 years worth
of, you know, work that
sort of needs to be, you know,
caught up on basically.
So, yeah, that was a really
good, that was really good.
It really got me like jeet up
to, you know, keep going
with the car, which is, you know,
is kind of what I want.
And yeah, so that that was good.
I also had dropped the
the magnet to a
to a place for a roadworthy.
And I did that yesterday
and I heard back from the
I heard back today.
And unfortunately,
there's a bit of work that the
magnet needs.
And one of those things turns
out is the transmission
because it's just leaking
out of every orifice possible
for the transmission.
So the transmission
I've reached out to
Andrew Wigglesworth.
Shout out, maybe listening
right now. Maybe.
Oh, awesome.
It's coming in. Oh, perfect.
That's amazing. Well, definitely
here for that.
So, yeah, Andrew said
he will reach out to a few people
about it and I'll get back to me.
So currently, I'm just waiting on
that as the as the point
of whether I go ahead because
without a transmission, it's not
going to go anywhere, obviously,
but also the price of a
transmission is the other.
The factor is, you know, if
it's going to cost three grand
or whatever, then it's, you
know, I'm I'm thinking
I just cut my loss of sort of thing
with the car.
But apart from that, look,
it's just mainly maintenance.
It's maintenance. It's brakes.
It's it's front suspension.
It's a rocker cover gasket.
It is a thermostat.
It's oil, oil pressure,
sender, a switch, sorry.
And I think was that the list
that I say a couple of belts,
couple of early three drive belts.
And that would be that's genuine
maintenance is genuine maintenance.
And this maintenance that probably
has never had in the life
of that car because it's only got
fifty thousand days on it.
So it's not like anyone
would have done those things ever.
So, you know, apart from
the transmission being a bit
how you going at the moment,
the rest of the stuff is pretty reasonable.
I already got new set of ties on it anyway.
So just in case that, you know,
the transmission is a thing
that I can go ahead with.
We will, yeah, we'll sort it out.
And as long as I can get
a reasonably priced transmission,
I don't see why not.
I just get everything all of it done.
And and, you know, the guy
who you recommended a good year.
And yeah, he's looking after me
and he's pretty honest.
He's really honest.
And but he's also like
he's reasonable because he's like,
you know, this is needed for safety.
The other things, you know,
whatever, it's kind of cosmetic.
So we are able to, you know,
let it slide or whatever.
And but yeah, he was really good.
And and at the same time,
I dropped off the I 30 today
to get a new set of ties.
So I've got a new brand new set
of PS4 S's by Michelin.
He ordered in for me.
Got a well fitted new wheel alignment
and all that good stuff.
So that car is, you know,
ready, ready to be doing daily duties again,
which is good.
And I think, yeah, that's
that's about my updates.
Pretty sure.
I feel like I've
filled in a fair bit of time
in the last week, trying to get
all this stuff done.
So yeah, no, it's been a busy week
for me with us.
Well, I think if we can get
like a transplant of 500.
Yeah, I think that would go.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
So I think that we can do that
because like French, French shocks
are not much for that.
Yeah, exactly.
So it's just genuine
like breaks maintenance.
Yeah, it's stuff that needs to be done
for a decent size trip, like to Adelaide anyway.
So it's stuff that I would have done anyway,
whether it was picked up on roadworthy or not.
But yeah, the other stuff,
yeah, the transmission is the biggest one,
unfortunately, so we'll see.
Yeah, so we'll have to get that
transferred, we'll see if we can get a cheap one.
Because I think they're all the same.
Yeah, the full speed auto.
I don't know whether the models after the TS
and stuff have the same
automatics or we'll see, I guess.
Yeah, if they, if it's compatible, then why not?
You know, the thing that rules his connection,
yes, he wrecks them and he knows,
you know, he's, he's a specialist.
He's the guy.
Yeah, he is the guy.
So he'd be the guy in the know that comes to Magnus.
Yeah.
And like the fact that they said,
I had to be ready, but don't worry about the body.
It's just like, just get those few things up.
Quite literally, it's just maintenance items,
except for the trans.
Yeah, it's brake suspension, tires,
and then yeah, a massive leak from the transmission,
which would, you know, it would be definitely picked up on
or it would potentially cause a serious thing
on the road anyway.
So that's fair enough.
I think, yeah.
So, so we get a cheap, cheap transfer.
I think happy days.
Yeah, absolutely.
Genuine.
Yeah.
Watch the space.
Watch the space.
Edward Bunting has joined us.
How are you, Edward?
Oh, well, yes, I have joined you.
It was lovely of you to send the invite.
I did.
You did not?
I did.
Dave, I drink David, who's not even here
to get the invite to send to me.
Scotty, how did you get the invite?
I like it through Facebook.
Yeah, I sent it on Facebook.
Yeah, it's on the page, Edward.
It's on the group chat.
I usually get an email every week.
No email.
Oh, email.
OK.
How about you do what you do every other week
and give me an email?
How about that?
Sorry, Edward.
How about some consistency from the show?
Sorry, Edward, I'm sitting here like an idiot.
Which car were you just talking about then, Chad?
The Magnetron.
Oh, please, tell me more about the Magnetron summary.
I heard brakes and transmission.
What did I hear there?
Yeah, unfortunately, it needs a potentially
new transmission or at least a rebuild of the current one.
Why?
It's just it's leaking like a sieve out of the out
of the torque converter, apparently,
which has got something to do with the pump of the transmission.
Oh, yeah.
Because that train is beautifully.
That was lovely.
Yeah.
But yeah, I don't I don't know it might have just happened
from me driving to the to the shop yesterday.
I don't know if it's just been sitting and it's shifting fine.
Oh, look, it's shifting OK, but it's it's leaking.
So some has gone on there.
But it's definitely unfortunately, I was not
able to arrange that for a roadworthy with that leak.
So I have to look into a, you know,
a replacement of the transmission,
because I think even trying to get parts for it is a.
Can you see it or something?
Just like TV everywhere.
RTV, just the whole thing.
It's I think that's fixable.
Yeah, I mean, look, you know,
I can only go by what the mechanic has said.
But yeah, well, but it's
if you take in the whole thing apart,
it's like pretty much a rebuild at that point.
Yeah. And like the rebuild is the biggest money part of it.
So even slapping in a secondhand one
is probably going to be the the most the more cheap option,
which, you know, you'd hope it's a good good unit that's going in.
But obviously the other one fix anything.
Yeah, the other one fix or something.
Yeah. So it's yeah, it's a little bit of work.
So was that and brakes?
Yeah, brake, suspension, couple of drive belts
and, yeah, rocker cover leak
and the rocker gasket leak, and that's it.
Really, that's all it needs.
The dings and stuff, it's, you know,
they're going to pretend not to see it, which is the some of the dents are.
Yeah, it's a bit of a it's it's a gray area, you know?
But yeah, it's everything else.
Yeah, everything else seems to work out.
A new exhaust muffler muffler for the rear and that's about it. Yeah.
Well, I mean, all of that stuff was reasonably expected, except the trans.
I don't yeah, I don't recall it like when it was sitting in Tom's garage
or whatever leaking at all. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I didn't see it either.
I didn't see any leaks on my driveway, but yeah, it's gone to the shop and it's
is it pissing on the ground?
Yeah, yeah, even when I had it parked on the straight
as I was talking to the guys, I looked I came back to it
and it was just as a puddle of a little puddle, not huge,
but for it to be an active lake.
Yeah. Yeah. So we know it's not they're not making up.
No, no. Yeah.
The guys were fairly straightforward about it, too.
So yeah.
But yeah, the rest of it is just maintenance.
Yeah, pretty much as I said, we get a transport.
I think I think under 500 bucks for a second in trans and happy days.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
We also joined by Rob Zadai.
Hello, Rob.
Well, thanks. Just technical problems again.
That's right.
Did you get the email invite, Rob?
No. No, I neither.
Thanks, guys. All right.
OK. No, thank you, Matt.
Thank you. Any time, Matt.
I had to disturb David in his committee meeting.
You're kidding.
Just to get access to this show.
I know what it's like.
That's how dedicated I am.
Hey, let's Edward, do you not have access to Facebook Messenger?
Matt always sends it via email.
Yeah, I always send both does both.
But but I didn't do both tonight.
Yeah, OK. All right.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You made your point, Edward.
All right. What's the next segment?
Well, we still have the car.
Car updates still on the same segment.
It's a car update with you, Edwards, with me.
The wasp has been to the panel shop.
The wasps has come back from the panel shop.
It has a respray rear bar and some repainted mirror caps
because they were a little bit faded.
Um, so it's looking schmick.
I booked the regio appointment for October the first.
So I just need to get my little roadie before then.
What else? What else? What else?
The Moke is leaking from the rear main seal.
So it too, Chad, is leaving a little puddle where I park.
There you go.
It's over. It's always, I mean, it's British.
So it's always leaked a little bit,
but it's worse from that from that area.
So you know what they say?
If it's leaking, it's still got oil in it.
They've got oil exactly.
So I'm, yeah, I'm a little, I'm a little bit like,
that probably means gearbox off and rear main seal and whatever.
That's, that's a, that's a, maybe that's a nice summer job for Ed, I feel.
The 380 SEL has had a bit of a, I think I mentioned it.
I had a bit of a shake down.
I did drive it for, did I mention that last time?
I think I drove it for a weekend and yeah,
it just got better and better.
And I was like, oh, I really like this car.
So yeah, that, that is in my garage.
And I'm going to condition the leather on it
and do a few other little bits and bobs.
But, but yeah, everyone really likes that car as do I.
So I just, as I said last time, I think I don't think I'm going to sell that.
I think I'll, I was like a keeper.
I think I'll just find a space for that somewhere.
Life's all about pleasures, isn't it?
Really? Or what brings you joy?
And that, that car brings me joy.
So, well, it can stay.
What else? What else? What else? What else?
The Honda CR-V's gone in to have the little road with the items it needed done.
So that was a few ball joints and bushes and things.
Nothing crazy, maybe about a grand worth of work
and a few hundred dollars worth of parts on top of that.
So that's in the shop.
I took the Pajero up to the snow over the weekend.
Of course, that loves the snow, so that was happy.
My dad's Pajero, though, he's an interesting one.
So that's the newest in our fleet of five family Pajeros.
That being a 2018 build, that's just clocked 138,000 K.
So not crazy Ks in anyone's book for one of those.
The first issue, which I might have mentioned a few weeks back,
was it was making its own oil, as in the oil level was rising,
which is usually a sign of diesel or DPF burns not happening.
Probably diesel going into the sump and increasing the oil level,
therefore diluting your oil,
therefore fucking your engine, excuse my language, if you're not careful.
So that that was sort of had a quick oil and filter change at 130,000 Ks.
And then it.
It was being monitored.
So dad's done about 8000 K in the last month,
which is a big trip to Queensland and back, essentially.
So he's been monitoring the oil.
He said, look, it's just above the high mark, you know,
like it has crept up a little bit, but it's nothing crazy alarming.
So I'm keen to get that in the garage and I bought that myself
and I'll probably get the oil and filter done again now.
And then just just make sure it's every seven and a half
that it gets oil and filter in that car with the DPF.
But the interesting thing was, dad rang me from somewhere
around Canberra and said, oh, my car needs four new shocks.
And I'm like, what are you talking about?
Like that car was perfect, you know, like it's 130,000 Ks on it.
It's not it's spent its whole life on bitumen.
It hasn't towed anything.
It's never been off road.
I can't. This is the perfect environment for a car.
And he said, yeah, we're on these roads up in Northern Queensland
somewhere and he noticed it was getting a lot bouncier.
And now he had four people in the car and some luggage in the boot.
That's it. Not towing anything, not overloaded.
And this is a Pajero.
So you'd think it could handle four people in the bloody car.
Anyway, so, yeah, I was intrigued by the time he got home.
He took it to a garage in Canberra and they said, yeah,
they're all leaking and they're stuffed.
So I took it to the car wash last night to wash all the bugs off it
and they really are stuffed like it.
I've never I've never felt a car so bad in the front end.
It was awful.
So whatever Mitsubishi put in that car
as the standard shock, I think is is is maybe a cheaper component
than what they used to.
Like my brother didn't do shocks till 350.
My page is on the original shocks at two thirty seven.
Like these things don't just fail like that.
But the dad's car has.
So I can only assume that, yeah, in the later models,
they just went a bit a bit tight and put a shock in that was
substandard or maybe they sourced it from somewhere else or something.
I don't know.
Did they all happen to go at the same time
around this?
Certainly the fronts, the backs, the backs might be savable,
but they said they were leaking.
So I think we'll just do all four.
So between the DPF issues and the shocks just going like that,
I'm not overly impressed with that car at the moment.
I think I think, you know, sometimes, as with all my cars,
older is better.
That dad's always winch that it doesn't have a CD player
because it's all Apple car play and what have you.
So I said to him, you know what?
I'm half tempted to sell a damn thing for like thirty five,
you know, fix the shock, sell it and go and buy you one for 15
that's got a CD player and no DPF.
Like same car, like, you know, like I'm sort of I'm genuinely half
tempted in your pocket 20 grand. Yeah. Yeah, that's wild.
So if something comes up, I might be keen to just sell one.
And yeah, just downgrade, not an upgrade, well, an upgrade,
but a downgrade. Anyway, downgrade, yeah, up downgrade.
Yeah, I've done it before.
And I tell you what, most of the time you're happier, you know,
in a cheaper car that works and is good, you're happier.
You spend more money and you just have higher expectation.
But I don't think I don't think that one hundred and thirty
thousand K is to have perfect shocks.
Isn't it that's been on bitching its whole life on freeways?
Is it is a big ask?
No, that's a bit sus to be honest.
Yeah, that's it's dodges.
Anyway, so my car.
Shocks are designed to last only 80 to 100,000 anyway.
Well, I mean, on on some sedans and things, yeah, you sort of think,
oh, around about 100,000, a bit like thermostats around about 100,000.
You start looking at it.
But it's just that given the type of car it is and the all the other ones
we've had, you don't you don't sort of hear about shocks
doing anything nasty on them like I've never had that.
Yeah, that's why they make you even sell to buy a new one or go back
with the go forward. No, I'm going to go backwards.
I'm convinced just no no DPF just go back.
Anyway, that's that's my car updates.
I haven't really been doing anything else in the world of cars
that I can think of. Nice.
Rob's a die.
Well, yeah, my Mercedes is being driven in and out of the spray
booth, so he's working on it, but he's not.
Nothing's happened to it, but it's going back and forth out of the spray
booth. So it's a start.
I did see it the other day, Rob.
You did. You did.
I was at the shop and I did see it and he said he was working on it.
So you never know, Chad, you and I might get lucky.
Maybe it's our time.
It could be our time.
Yeah, I've had Ford Australia call me and they said they said
they called the dealer and sorted out with the dealer.
The dealer says you've got to call Ford Australia and sorted out
before Australia.
So I've been playing ping pong with the dealership and Ford.
So the dealer pretty much said, look, you need to raise another request
with Ford as it's called a V.A.R. or something or R.A.V.
RAV is called Return of Vehicles.
That's a Toyota.
Yeah. And they'll open up another case to investigate how long
it's been off the road, how many times it's been back
and all that sort of stuff then determined whether they'll refund,
replace, not repair, repair, whatever.
So now she goes, that could take some time now.
So take as long as you want.
That's where I met with the transit.
So hopefully that'll move forward now that it's been escalated.
I was going to go out for the Father's Day thing down on Sunday
down at St. Kilda there, but it's just the weather wasn't all
that crash hot.
So I ended up just spending Father's Day with my father.
That was it.
Oh, very good.
Chatter been to the factory, sorry, his uncle.
He said that they were downstaffed the day your van was built.
All right. Yeah.
So yeah, they didn't have enough bodies to go around to, you know,
to give all the love and the love and the.
Exactly.
They're all eating kebabs too much.
And on that day, you know, they were a bit sleepy having a siesta.
Yeah.
Kebabs and
Gosleman and Gosleman and and Pidey and all the good stuff, you know,
all the good stuff.
So you've come back a lot thinner.
Oh, yeah, thinner on the wallet, definitely.
No, I it's I did eat like a king over there.
So as you would, you're on hot as it would say you're on holiday.
You're on holiday holiday holiday holiday.
You're on holiday.
You do whatever you like on holiday.
Yeah, but Chad, you've just run over three people on holiday.
Chad, you know, that's your fourth ice cream of a different flavour.
I'm on holiday.
It's a great one liner that really excuses any behaviour.
Yeah, you know, when on holiday, you might as well.
Absolutely.
All the things you don't do or shouldn't do at home.
That's it. Absolutely.
Updates with me should hopefully get the Camry back to my own fingers crossed.
So injectors were dropped off and hopefully can put in if not there,
if not already done.
So we'll pick that up and then I've got a bottle of full system cleaner
to run through the car and see if that improves it,
which it should.
So, yeah, can't wait to drive that.
What else?
I've been up to much in the car for I worked all weekend
at a different store, not my usual store.
Some interesting characters.
How come different store?
They needed a two I see to manager or three I see to manage to manage a store.
So I was like, yeah, I'm happy to do it.
So in a different location.
What did you notice different about the Clientella
that walks sold at that store versus your normal store?
Every customer was asking for a discount.
Really? Every customer was just expected everything for nothing.
If that makes sense.
And then most of the time we were getting robbed.
So that was fun.
People just walk in, take stuff and walk out.
Really? Can I ask which suburb?
Yeah, which store is this?
I'll leave it to your interpretation, gentlemen.
So I won't I won't delve into roughly was it North West?
I don't know where I'm sure.
I think where this would be located.
How far is it from your other store?
Far enough that I made me want to go back to my store.
OK, OK, OK.
Yes, it wasn't funny there.
So the lower socioeconomic area than than your normal store.
So yeah, yeah, which is fine.
You know, I'm part of that that that history and I'm part of that
that demographic, but like when
when you got a customer asking me for a warranty for a headlight globe
and like we don't do warranties on headlight globes because
it's a globe.
Well, and I mean, if it blows up after a week, sure.
No, I will replace it.
Yeah, anything longer than that.
You know, everyone uses their lights differently.
Some people drive at night, you know, so cabbies and stuff.
They constantly replace them because they're driving at night.
But I want a warranty.
I can't give you a warranty.
You know, it's it's so he's not getting I don't
with this one customer for over half an hour.
Oh, no.
And you know, three dollar headlight.
It was an expense.
It was a HL over 50 bucks.
I was like, you know, by these two long life
globes to 70 bucks for the pair.
Yeah, I would do that if you're worried about longevity.
You know, they're a long life globe.
The mental loss, you know, and he's like,
but like Audubon have got a cheaper.
I'm like, we'll go there.
He's like, you're in the wrong store then.
Go to Audubon.
Can you match the price?
I'm like, it's a different item.
We don't sell that brand.
It's a different item.
Like if it's the same one, sure, no worries.
I'll beat the price.
But so and then after half an hour,
he just decided to just walk off on me and he's like,
yeah, no, if you're not going to give me a warranty.
I'm like, well, no one's going to give you a warranty, mate.
So best of luck with that one.
Best of luck.
So yeah, so so that was that was interesting.
But could have upsell LED's or something.
Oh, I think at that point, I had enough.
This was my second day there in a row.
And I was just like, get me the hell out of here.
And then the customers were coming in on the closing.
I'm like, we close.
Oh, yeah, I was in the 30s.
Just I know what I'm going to get the run down and get it.
And then they'd go get it.
And they'd be like, can I make a store order?
So then you got parts and I was like, oh, no, you cannot.
Right before closing.
People work on their cars down that part of the world.
They like to actually, you know, get stuck into their cars and do things.
They do.
But I got to have some really lovely customers, too.
Like almost every customer was was a panda backside.
And that was just constantly nagging.
But it's a really lovely customers.
And then then I had a lady.
She came in. Hi, everybody have arrived.
And and I was like, OK, then.
And just just yelling as she's walking down
to the end of the store. Where is this?
But I'll whatever it was, walks to the end.
I hear a yelling in the other side of the store like she's so loud.
Comes back to the front
and wants to doesn't want to buy it.
Wants to buy a chocolate bar.
You know, places with chocolate bar.
Once doesn't want that chocolate bar.
Once wants the money back.
Oh, my 50 cents.
And then just started going off.
And I was like, where the hell am I?
Like, like, what is this world story?
What is going on?
I mean, she she proceeded to tell my colleagues
that they were all something, something's.
And then a house sold a house sold nearby
for a record price the other day for just over a million dollars.
Well, in that area.
Hmm. Wow.
So yes, let's just.
Yeah, I'm no comment.
Rob, no comment, really.
Don't go back, Natty.
Don't go back.
Well, they said to me, oh, well, you did.
You left the shop in such a great knee.
Did you get danger danger money or anything like that?
Should have, man.
I should have, but he got got more money
than people on the paddle, you know, like that,
better on the side of the road.
Yeah.
They're like, yeah, like, you know, we got some more,
she's kind of happy to give them to you.
I'm like, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't want.
So it don't get me wrong, the store was brand new and lovely.
But yeah, that doesn't change.
I mean, I get bad customers at my store, too.
But yeah, this was different.
It means another little bit.
So but anyway, all part of fun and games.
I did have some nice Vietnamese food
from from around that area, right next door, actually.
And it was behind me.
It's a real good one.
These are phenomenal.
You'll find out about me.
I love about me.
I'm also on the Barney Appreciation Society on Facebook.
Good.
Good.
Paid.
I love it.
Yeah, that is correct.
It was plenty on offer.
I think people are eventually going to figure out the location.
I'm going to move on before I get I get it from.
No, look.
All part of all part of the retail experience.
Yeah.
Um, so yeah, that's pretty much my updates, gentlemen.
Tonight's topic is when was the last time you saw blank insert here?
Now, I've got one for you guys want to start us off with.
When was the last time you guys saw a Hyundai S coupe?
Oh, tell you.
Scoop, Scoop, I could not tell you about the first gen, right?
First gen scoops.
Yeah, very first gen square boxy scoop.
Yeah, there aren't any left that they wouldn't be.
Like I don't want to be one somewhere.
They weren't somewhere got to be one.
Yeah, I remember the last time I seen one.
And and I was thinking about that because I went on a.
Typical Matthew Janina sort of lifestyle.
I went on a rabbit hole of looking at Hyundai Excels because I was like,
oh, I want to have you know, what would it take to get into?
No, I saw one come up on Marketplace that had there was a prepped race car
like a like a oh, yeah, a race series for them.
Excels Cup and and it was like it was like 16 grand with like everything
like ready to go with tires.
And I'm like, you know, that's a that's a lot of race car for 16 grand.
So, you know, Cam, it's all Cam to prove and all that stuff.
And you know, and it had a history of racing.
And I was like, oh, yes.
And then I went on a bit of a rabbit hole.
I'm like, oh, yeah, let's go back.
Scoops, I don't know if they're still I haven't seen one.
So I was like, you know, when was the last time you saw it?
Yes, Coop.
So, gentlemen, do you remember the last time you've seen one?
And and if so, was it recently?
It was not.
Can't remember.
I ain't seen one in years.
Two thousand and four.
Very specific.
Is that when they're nearly new?
July the third.
Two thousand four.
On my birthday, July the third.
Yeah.
Is that your birthday, Rob?
It is.
On July two.
July two.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What was the last thing?
Yeah, I can't remember seeing a first gen scoop like I honestly,
I can't recall.
But I did have, you still live in North Melbourne
and my next door neighbor used to have a second gen
coop, S-Coop.
I think they were still called S-Coops, weren't they?
Or they were just called Coops.
Just a coop.
Yeah, I thought they were but ugly.
Yeah, they weren't a good looking car.
And but this this was like a purple one
and he would like wax and polish it every Sunday.
He would drive it onto his lawn and he would wash it
and then he would polish it on the and like he wasn't a particularly,
you know, straightforward bloke.
He was a very sort of, you know, character.
He might have been on the glass barbecue here and there.
If you if you catch my grip, he was troubled, you know,
from time to time.
I can't say the word of that illegal substance at the moment.
Anyway, so yeah, he was an interesting.
I bet it's good.
What gets me?
He was an interesting character.
And for some reason, he loved this bloody car.
It was just so ugly.
I actually liked that.
In North Melbourne, would there be a nature strip with grass?
Yeah, tell me about it.
There's no longer there.
They knocked it down.
It's not there.
It's it's there's like a 12 story building there now.
Yeah, anyway.
So to answer your question, I can't remember the last time
I saw an S scoop.
I reckon I would have seen one for sale at some point.
But yeah, I think I remember seeing a yellow one for sale at some point.
And I was I thought they did do them in yellow.
Yeah. And I think they even did like color matched seats or something.
Weird like that.
And yeah.
But would they pop up headlights?
No, those square square headlights.
Yes. And they had like the M a 70 super tail lights looking thing.
Didn't they? Yeah.
Like very sort of long garnish.
Yeah.
They did do a turbo version.
Turbo version.
Yeah. What would that have been like a one point five turbo?
An Aussie turbo version they did.
Pretty sure they sold Aussie turbo.
No, I don't think so.
I don't think we ever got turbo here.
Well, I want to fact check.
I want to fact check that this is normal.
Yeah, fact check that.
Hey, what about this?
Infinity Q 4 5.
Is that the that was the Aussie Maxima?
Oh, no, it was an Aussie delivered big first
infinity Avalonchi, the very first infinity ever.
Big saloon, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was.
It was meant to take on the LS 400, but of course, never did.
No, these things are rare as hence teeth.
Dude, I don't think I've actually ever seen one in Australia.
Like, no, I have, but for many, many years.
So that is the that is a car that I've I don't even remember the last one
I've seen one like, no.
But when you said the topic, I thought that came to mind Q 4 5 and 50.
Well, I want to raise the stakes.
So this is what we're going to do now.
So we're going to think about it has to be like realistic.
You're not going to say, oh, 1931 Pontiac or something stupid like that.
But like, how is it we know?
And we've seen and grew up with or seen, you know, and we're going to keep score.
So if, for example, if let's say I've already I'm not going to add
this to the scoop, because that's that was pre pre introduction to this.
But, you know, if you say if no one on the group see one,
bang, you get a point.
How does that sound? We'll do that.
I've got to think about the cars near just a real easy one.
The the last of the hold in Commodore's.
Yeah, you don't really see them. Yeah, you are.
Well, they were wrapped in cotton.
You're in people. Oh, yeah.
You're just you're you're talking about VF Commodore's.
I don't talk about the European ones.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you don't see too many of those.
And you won't be seeing many more VFC later.
We need to know.
So.
So the the Q45 that that they were a V8,
when they were like a four, four and a half.
Yeah, it's like four, four point five V8, something like that.
Yeah.
And that was there.
That was the Infiniti's first attempt at Australia.
And then this was a much better.
Yeah, it was like it was like that was that was the LS 400 of Infiniti.
And they never they never went anywhere.
It was the initial.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's weird that they like, they must have so many.
Like, I'd love to know the actual number.
I mean, it would be a couple of hundred, maybe.
Maybe it was more.
Maybe it was a thousand of them or something.
I don't know.
So they're not based on a maxima, right?
They're based on a drive.
So that's an instant SEMA or a glory or something.
Yeah, some other platform is not a maxima platform.
I'm sure that's weird.
Yeah. I mean, it's because this isn't even
sell those platforms in Australia.
And they're Japan only.
I'm pretty sure Japan only.
But yeah, even the Infiniti being on that platform,
being being sold here is a really weird choice, I guess.
They're really big in the States.
They are. They're massive.
They're massive in the States.
Like, like Infiniti's huge.
That's because Lexus LS 400 was really made for the US market.
So Infiniti was like, absolutely.
We have to compete with them.
So they made the Q45 and yeah, there's no brain itself.
They're like, yeah, that's a weird one.
I would have really competed.
Well, I would have thought competed.
Well, but like a statesman, you know, a V8, we will drive saloon.
It was ugly though, Chad.
It was ugly. Yeah.
I mean, it wasn't any more ugly than a VR statesman,
like a VR equivalent of a statesman.
They weren't looking either.
Yeah, no, good looking rig.
Let's be honest, like it wasn't.
Yeah. I mean, how much were they new?
Frameless doors, which is quite cool.
Yeah. So frameless windows.
I would say knew they were something like, you know, were they 80 grand?
80 grand. OK.
But we'll just look at how much they were new.
So they sold them from 93 to 97.
Yeah. In 97, how much do you think they were?
So you're saying 80 grand?
Yeah, I'll say.
Now, is that today's money or was that back then?
Back then, yeah.
I mean, yeah, I would have thought 80 grand.
Yeah, somewhere there.
So I want to look up how much an LS 400 was.
Was it? Yeah.
Scotty and Rob, do you guys want to have a guess?
Because I've already seen the price,
which means I really can't be guessing.
I reckon 80 by 70s.
Scott.
Well, I'm thinking by the sands of your voice,
this must be in the 90s.
Well, put it this way, when the LS 400 first came out,
it was one hundred and one hundred and nineteen grand.
Then it dropped by ten grand.
Then I went back to up about one hundred and ninety two,
jumped up to one hundred and forty grand.
Well, the Q 45 was one hundred and forty seven thousand
dollars, Australian mama and ninety seven.
So yeah, no wonder why they didn't really sell.
Why would you? Why would you?
I reckon the sale numbers would even be in the double digits,
not even triple digits at that price.
Talk about depreciation.
That thing now would be about three and a half grand
if you could find one.
Exactly. It's crazy.
That's a good one.
So point to you.
I don't think you saw much.
So Rob said that ZB Commodore actually I actually saw one
the other day, I saw a Kalei
all drive Kalei.
So like top of the.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so that was a bit.
It was a tour as well.
So, you know, it was the touring and it was.
I mean, from all accounts, they're not a bad car,
but, you know, they're not.
They went great.
And as you know, they went to Commodore.
What about you, Scotty?
Have you got one for us?
Mine's a little bit off, I think.
I was thinking a C43 AMG.
That is a good one.
I haven't seen one in a long time.
Yeah, no, I've seen one for sale, but not with my eyes.
Probably the last one I've seen in person was your one, Scotty.
Like it's been it's been that long since I've seen a C4.
I've seen a few C36s.
I've seen them.
I've seen a couple C36s around in that,
but I haven't seen another C43.
I don't know where they're tucking them away.
Well, they weren't they didn't sell a lot of them.
Like they're quite a they were at the end of the two or two's life.
So they are they are quite a rare car.
Yeah. But yeah, that's a good one.
I'll come with the last one.
See one. What about you, Ed?
You seem my friend owned a wagon,
one of two in the country, supposedly.
So I did imagine that one of two.
One of two wagons. Cool.
I have seen he doesn't own it anymore, but I have seen that car.
Not, you know, a couple of years ago when he still had it.
And I've seen one advertised in the Japanese import
sedan recently, but I haven't seen the actual car.
I've seen that ad. Yeah.
Does that count? Is that half?
Well, I mean, it's all right.
We'll change the rules to like it's going to be in the last year.
OK, well, no, I haven't seen one the last year.
Then you don't get things.
Then Scotty gets the point.
Just give it.
Robert, when was the last thing you saw on?
That's how I have.
There you go.
No, no, I can't say 36 in my driveway.
I've got another one.
This is might be a bit easier.
A Volkswagen Scirocco.
Yeah, I saw one. I see one every day.
We're talking like a new one.
Yeah, like the latest one they did. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, I saw one in Turkey.
So I guess if that sounds.
Yeah, this is a strain base.
Yeah, but they're pretty common here.
Yeah, I can't pinpoint the last time I saw one in Australia.
Yeah, see, they can't pinpoint it.
Well, like I don't think it would have been that long.
Well, obviously is because you can't pinpoint it.
There was the guy around the street from here.
He had a white one, which he wrote,
which he smashed the front of it really badly.
And he dropped like a cock anyway.
So that's fine.
So he fixed it and he crashed it again.
It got ridden off.
So nice.
Then he ended up with an S3,
which he also drove like a complete cock.
And then he ended up in some sort of beam up.
But there was a guy now that I see every day
driving up and down my road in a green like that.
You know, the green, the green frog car color they came in.
Yes, green.
And it's just a mint original, very, very nice example.
And he drives it every day. So.
Well, there you go. You see it.
I see it. So Scotty's just saying I said 19.
Oh, I saw this car, Scotty.
This is 929, like Japanese import.
And it's just VIP specced to the max.
It looks cool.
It's pretty awesome.
What I don't see anything on my side of town is 911 Carreras.
It is not a rare.
You don't see them there.
Don't see them, not on our side of town.
Mostly the odd one.
Yeah, you're on the right side of town.
Yeah, for that.
Here's one for you.
Ford Cougar from the from 1999 to.
Oh, there's one on my way.
Is all your work?
No, hang on. Cougar.
Oh, no, the old one.
Yeah, this is the coup.
Yeah.
Yeah. No, no, sorry.
I just are there any sort of.
There's a lot of.
There's a few about, but not a common thing.
No, not a common thing.
They weren't common when they were new.
They weren't a big seller.
I've got one for you.
Yep. Hold and shuttle van.
Yeah.
Hold and shuttle.
Long gone.
What's that based on?
Not based on anything, Chad.
It's its own thing.
OK, hang on a second.
I had to do a quick Google what the hell's the whole and shuttle van?
You don't see any old Toyota forerunners around anymore.
I've already got it.
I saw one not that long ago in Ocean Drive.
Never. OK.
Yeah, forerunners are
there's a reason why you don't see them anymore
because they were all flogged to death
like quite literally all they all rusted away.
Classy Japan is always a forerunner or two.
Like if they the people have restored them and stuff.
The friend of mine who has a really cool
to run also has a forerunner
that he's building at the moment.
I guess that's the last one I would have seen by with my own eyes.
Yeah, nice.
She really liked foreruns.
Foreruns are such cool cars.
Yeah, they're a good size.
Yeah, two seconds in.
But they've also got the removable roof.
Yes.
Which I was like the coolest thing in the world.
Yeah, yeah, I've got one.
Two door Nissan Pathfinder.
Oh, man. Oh, the two door.
Yeah, big, big.
It's like a troop carrier, basically.
But, you know, small body.
Yeah, I don't know when I saw one of them
or even just any Nissan Pathfinder.
Didn't Nissan also have a two door patrol
and Pajero's also had a two door Pajero, didn't they?
Yeah, correct.
Rado, Rado's, Land Cruisers.
But it's sort of the two door version back then.
Don't see any of those anymore, do you?
I saw a two door Pajero today.
Oh, there you go.
Silver. Silver.
And if they're cool, I really like those.
If you ever catch the train to and from Spencer Street Station,
it's in a multi level car park at the top level, the open level.
And it's right at train height.
So every time I go around that bench, which is not often,
but I'm always like, oh, yeah, still there, silver, two door.
Yeah, OK, it's just been abandoned.
No, I don't think it lives in an apartment nearby.
Can I just say out of all those shorties, that's.
It's the best proportion one.
It looks right.
Yeah, it's like three door RAV, like it looks correct.
Whereas the Prado just looked really weird.
It's like they just stopped with the Prado.
The two door Prado just looks wacko.
Yeah, Pajero.
The two door patches, they they looked like they were designed to be a two door patch.
Yeah, two door patrols are also good proportions as well.
Yeah, I'd agree with that.
They weren't too bad.
They feel boxy as like they're really like they're almost as wide as they are long.
Obviously not.
But they have those like sort of proportion
looking proportions. Yeah, that's right.
All right, I got one.
A Honda S2000.
I saw one of those not long ago.
I haven't seen one in in real life around.
If only I haven't seen one in the past year.
Like I can think further back and I don't really see him at car shows or anything
anymore or I did see one actually not long ago.
Probably weeks. Oh, nice.
Yeah. All right.
So you're in this way.
Yeah, I'm with you, so I haven't seen one in a long time.
The last time I saw one was at the.
The barbecue, the Honda Club barbecue last year.
Oh, yeah, that was the last time I've seen one.
Oh, yeah, there's one there. Yeah, that's right.
That's that's been the last it's been it's been every year.
So I haven't seen one.
But I forgot what the score is, but we'll have to we'll have to come up
next time with three each and then see who ends up winning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good for you.
Here's one for you.
Nissan R31 Pintara.
When was I haven't seen a Pintara in forever?
Like I can't remember that.
Yeah, I took a round.
I couldn't tell you when I saw one, but they're around.
I see plenty of thirty ones.
But not I see skylines and stuff.
If they're not the Pintara.
Last Pintara I saw was my grandpa's.
Yeah, but it's been over a year since he's had it.
So I can't count that one.
Yeah, no, it's been it's been a long time since I've seen a Pintara.
What about have you seen his Pintara?
No, I can't say I have.
I'll go on for you.
Yeah, Suzuki X 90.
Oh, oh, forever ago.
Yeah, dude on the road, for sure.
Dude, no one saw them when they were new.
What do you mean? I know they're a rare bird.
Saw one on YouTube yesterday.
What were you searching?
Rob, why are you?
Yeah, someone made a video about that.
Pommy guys doing up some cars.
I can't remember.
Yes, Auto Alex.
Yeah, you bought one.
Yeah, Max, hey.
You know, Rob, here's a story for you.
And I were at the wreck is a couple of couple of weeks ago
and we saw a Excel seven there.
Oh, oh, wow.
And I'm like, that's a bit of Rob and you said Rob had one of those.
And I'm like, really, it was quite a cool car.
Yeah, the V six.
Yeah, you love that car, didn't you, Rob?
You say it was fantastic.
The we had it for six or seven years and faultless.
It was fantastic.
Yeah, that was a big trip.
A big Suzuki.
Yeah, that's some trips through Tassie,
San Junes of Beachport and Robe.
Wow.
Yeah, right along the beach break.
It's a proper full drive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are made of mine.
Had a still has it.
The big F two fifty four drive thing
and we're going down the hills
and back back about disappointment.
Real steep, righted out track in my case.
Oh, don't bring your Suzuki down here.
I won't make it.
You know, you're going to get stuck.
I said to make keep on going on right behind you.
Don't slow down.
And from memory, from memory,
Rob, those things were about like twenty eight grand or something.
I think I paid thirty two.
Yeah, for it was, I think there's two variants.
Yeah.
So I had to tow a bar and other bits and pieces.
I'm sure it wasn't the top of the range
because the top range one, I think even had a sunroof.
Yeah.
Which mine didn't have, but it was thirty thirty two.
They got leather, the top ones, I think, too.
Yeah, they had leather sunroof.
Yeah. Yeah, it's a cracking.
Yeah, you don't see them very often. No.
So, Rob, would you have that or would you have a Jimny after owning both?
Oh, Vitara day in, day out.
Well, OK, well, it was a bit cool.
It's a massive call, massive call without question.
All right, I've got kind of two.
I'm just wondering if you've one of them you've probably never
you haven't seen, but one of them you could have.
But I just noticed I don't really seem that often anymore.
A VSS or the VSS
HSV GTS with the trispoke rims.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
That's a rare one. Yeah.
So the VSS, I see one quite often
because one of my students dad's got one and.
Oh, yeah. And he drops it means it's a beautiful color.
Is it white? Yeah, nice.
Why would the with the red kind of strap around it in the body mornings?
And he's put it's got a nice little
exhaust stock wheels, but it's like it's it looks like it's beautiful.
And they've got a good note that like the bird was great.
But a but a but a HSV like a like a clubby with with the trispoke.
Oh, no, man, I haven't seen one in a very long time.
That that's actually I mean, where have they all gone?
They used to be everywhere.
I think people chop them up for the swaps.
Yeah, honestly.
Well, I think they chop them up in just all of the parts.
Yeah, because at one point like that, they're worth nothing.
Yeah, they're worth nothing.
And it was more worth more in parts.
Yeah. Yeah.
What was the swift variant, the GTI?
Was it a GTI swift?
The early 80s one.
80s one. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, you don't see to me
there's a guy in the nuggets circles that has like five of them.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
All early ones, all boxy ones.
Oh, he's got like three or four boxy ones and one like second gen.
Second gen. Yeah.
But he yeah, he's a swift nutter.
Yeah. Yeah.
He tracks all of them, I think.
Yeah. And like two or three of them are turbocharged.
And yeah, he loves them.
Yeah.
They were a cool car.
Yeah. I actually saw I actually saw the later model one, the second gen
on Sunday, I was going to lunch and a white one just drove past me.
I was like, what the hell?
Like they're like a big GTI on the back.
Geez. Yeah, it was cool.
It was really neat to was it like, you know,
was it a traffic car or someone like had built in stuff?
Look like a traffic car.
Like these things like a survivor.
Yeah. Well, genuinely, a survivor.
That's incredible.
So I was like, oh, GTI, I've got one.
Is this a I think it's the first gen they made these.
But Lexus LS460, which is the big, big body saloon.
Yeah, they were like
22,000 later, two thousand early 2000s.
Yeah. So after the LS430, yeah, yeah.
For sale, I have, but not in person.
Yeah. Yeah. Same.
For sale, I've seen them.
It's just me, gentlemen, or those Lexus,
they just didn't hold their value like the old, like the earlier ones.
Like they were just, they just weren't really worth much.
And like, like and they'd appreciate it so much
that I think people are like, I'd rather just write this off
and, you know, then then cop the blame.
I think there's a lot of Japanese imports, too.
In those later models, like this parallel Japanese imports,
whereas the early cars were only Aussie delivered, you know, obviously.
Well, yeah, it's.
Yeah. I mean, the LS400s, I mean, they were expensive,
but like, but they, but they did come cheaper eventually.
But like, though, like an LS430, it's like a five grand car all day every day.
And they've been like that forever,
like that they just never really got any, any appreciation.
So I don't know. It's it's it's a bit of a weird one.
Yeah.
My last one for the night before we move to the car quiz, gentlemen,
is lost as a current car on sale.
I can't remember the last one I've seen one besides a dealership
is the same with Lexus, the the LC 500.
There is one I see time to time.
And it's always in the evening
and is coming up Pascavale Road and turning on to the freeway.
It's a silver one.
It's a silver drop top LC 500.
And every time I say, I'm like, holy crap, that is a
because it looks so out of place, especially like in the traffic in the
it looks out of place in the area.
It looks like, oh, yeah, especially in the north.
But yeah, it's such a weird look.
It's an alien like it's 100 percent an alien car.
Yeah, I see one.
Yeah, maybe every like every other week I see it in traffic.
But yeah, I ain't I ain't seen that car.
Can I just say, have you guys ever sat in one of those?
No, no, it is the nicest finished car
I've ever seen. Honestly.
And I've sat in a Maybach and this this made the Maybach look like shit.
Wow. It's a quality like in May, like the fit and finish,
the use of materials.
It was just outstanding.
Well, I see it goes with 100,000 k's on it, because, you know,
Lexus can look a little tired with a few miles on them.
See, we'll see.
I think especially new Lexuses.
Yeah, definitely. They don't they don't hold up like some Germans.
I think they're different.
I think the I think they're too big to differ.
I do.
I've seen I've seen modernist classes with with the Dush's peeling.
So that's not the oldest class, not the one to six.
Any last ones, gentlemen, before we move on.
Ford laser Sony explode edition.
Yes, one for sale recently.
Yeah, crazy.
Crazy. There's one for sale.
You know, I was like, OK, so I mentioned in the group chat.
Chad, have you got anywhere to stay?
If if I if I do, because I will be I will be divorced quick.
I'm going to spare bedroom.
Yeah, thank you. Thank you.
You can come to my house any time, many.
Better place you can hide it.
Yeah. Well, Rob, I might have to take you up with that.
It's got a panic. Yeah.
Because I I was OK.
So I was talking to Steph and I'm like, so she's like, no.
I didn't even get to say the car.
She's like, no, no.
So I'm like, it's just it's a one of four.
Yeah. It's a special case, too.
I was tempted to be pretty low case there.
Rob is tempted, even.
Is that that and the SR2?
That's a nice little pair. Yeah.
Is it still for sale?
That's the laser ultimate combo.
It is someone has someone grabbed it for a half.
No, I think it was a four.
Did this come up for sale a little while ago?
Did it sell or do you think maybe the guy just took it down
and he re-listed it? Yeah.
Because there was a turbo one that was 17 grand, not too long ago.
Do you guys know that one?
And I was like, like, look, it's cool, but it's not 17 grand cool.
And then. Not 17.
And then there was there was a real mounted one for like three.
But that was the ripped seats and everything.
And then there was the analysis one.
So out of all the four, three have been on for sale
for the last, you know, little amount of time.
So I don't know.
I don't know.
It's pretty cool next to yours.
It's quiet.
I'm happy to do a GoFundMe
if you guys want to help out with that.
But they really only get two grand car, aren't they?
Really, they are. They are.
And but, you know, it is my birthday next week, gentlemen.
So, you know, if you.
You know, just just putting it out there to the universe.
I mean, it's pretty cool kit that it came with.
Like it's it's very so out there.
I mean, awesome back then to have those subs
and that and everything in the food, like that was crazy.
I just want to see it.
I just want to just go next to it and see it and just be like, OK,
I've witnessed this this this explode.
Sort of ten isn't it?
It's in Melbourne somewhere.
Right.
So anyway, before I get divorced, we'll move on to love
though, you couldn't even get out what the car was.
Then it was just like, no, you've got the car buying face on.
She's like, no, which is what I get from my wife every time I go.
Hey, daddy, it's easy to ask.
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
You should know that I'm still trying to get forgiveness for the Camry.
And it's it's been it took a while to get to get out of the doghouse for that one.
The thing about the camera is you can always get your money back.
You can sell it and you'll still get your money.
It's still there in an asset.
Buy a dress or get your hair done and get your nails done.
You never get that money back.
Rob's Rob's diving into dangerous territory with lives over here.
One of four.
I mean, you can't get any more rare than that.
Can't go any lower than the price it is now.
Maybe you need to go there.
One hundred and fifteen K's that car.
Maybe we just need to see it.
Like just just go and see where is he.
Let's get four four equal shares.
Yeah, 100 percent.
There's there's other we could do that.
And we've got a one of four.
I got I got a look at a thousand somewhere lying around.
Yeah, we can do that.
We can do tap laps with like the subs blaring.
Oh, that would be the best.
That would be the best.
So we have a boost gauge on the on the dash pillow.
What's that about?
No, right?
Because two came turbocharged and two were naturally aspirated.
So it couldn't be in a turbocharged one, but it doesn't say.
Or is it? I don't know.
It says amps.
It could be there.
So it is amps.
Because because of the battery is getting drained.
Oh, that's so funny.
Do you know how cool is it?
It's incredible.
I mean, it's like it roughly does the same.
That is.
Shh.
How did you guys tell what how many kilometers are on it?
So.
Says it right.
It's somewhere on the bottom.
Oh, in the mileage details section.
I never trust that in the city.
Rob, like East Melbourne, like right near town.
Cool. All right.
Not too far.
Oh, go on.
Look at it on the weekend.
Yeah. Oh, my God.
Oh, man, this is a this is a dangerous, dangerous one.
When I go to look at cars, you know, things happen.
You know, I know they do edits.
I know they drive in yours.
We could be driving the other one.
My son in law could be driving his S2 block up.
But yeah.
Three hours going down a road.
Oh, can you imagine?
Laser, laser, laser, laser beam.
OK, I've got to figure out in the podge later.
I owe it.

I'll give you a point five if no one else gets it.
So, you know, it's a Pontiac.
It's like a clip that's got the lawyer that's Joe Pesci.
Yeah, that's the one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You guys have to watch the movie.
It's a cracker.
It's such a good movie.
Rob, was it a GTO?
No, it was.
No, it's not.
I can't pay that.
It wasn't a GTO.
Scotty.
No, I can't think.
Chad?
Fibre.
No, you're correct.
And so, Ed, I'll give you the point if you give me.
So, you've got point five for saying Pontiac.
I'll give you the other half if you.
Oh, it's not a Laurentian, is it?
No, that's incorrect.
It was the Pontiac Tempest.
Tempest, that's right.
Now, bonus question.
So, you've got point five there, Edward.
Bonus question.
What is the reason that this is the case?
Ed.
Because there were twin, I'm sitting up now.
I'm taking notice because there were twin black lines
that went up and over a curb and the lines were continuous
from the tyres.
And Marissa's point was that the car that left those
had to have like a limited slip diff or whatever.
The traction traction, it was the name for it back then
in that car.
So that the other model, the Buick Skyline,
never had that till a later year.
So, it could not have left twin black lines
over that median strip in the way that it did.
I'll give you point five
because there's another reason.
On.
No, that would have been the main reason, the best reason.
That was the reason.
There's two reasons, Edward.
The tyre width.
Incorrect, the same tyre width.
No, it was the twin black lines.
So, what else was it?
And I think it was the transmission
related to the transmission.
Incorrect, no idea.
I know, I know.
Was it the wheel base?
Incorrect, the same wheel base.
It was the only car besides the Corvette
that had independent rear suspension.
So, it was able to go over the curb like that
and still keep it.
Yeah, like that, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, that is a, it's a cracking clip.
You saw the clip after the show.
I've not watched the whole film straight
after some in the mood, yeah.
It's a great movie.
I'm watching it tonight.
I'm gonna watch it.
I'm gonna go home and watch it tonight.
I'm gonna watch it tonight.
I'm gonna watch it right now.
You're gonna put your motorway, Chad?
I watched a bit of it.
I didn't finish it, but I watched the start
and it was incredible, yeah.
How cool is it?
So cool.
That's such a good film.
It's such a good era film, like of the era.
Jeff Skiers.
So good.
Score check.

Yeah, welcome back, President.

Yeah, they're really on one.
No, yeah.
No, thanks for a cool and interesting quiz, Marty.
Yeah, no worries at all.

Scottie's got to be the week,
now that Alam's not taking you off.
Got to be the week four, this week is,
remember when you're playing golf,
you're not always going to be hitting it off flat ground.
So if you're hitting it off a hill,
that's kind of where you're standing on it
and it's going downhill to the right of you,
remember your ball, if you try and hit it straight,
is actually going to go flying out to the right,
so aim more to the left.
And then vice versa.
Compensate.
Compensation, yeah.
Yeah, got to compensate or else it's just going to go,
well, off it goes.
Yeah, liked that, that's a good one.
That's up there with some of the best.
