Who bought that new Part 4

There's a professional radio. That's front wheel drive.

Have you got anyone you want to thank?

Just myself. And now I do the after hours,

gentlemen. What would you go for?

They see us in there. OK.

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

Automatic perfection comes in the form of 2 letters A&U.

Long away of my Ltd. Welcome to Car Talk.

It's Tuesday night here in 98.9 NW FM.

It's me, Maddie J with Online Sorry say with Scotty, Doe Johnson, Rob Zadai and in the studio doing the reins for us.

Mr Alamdeep Singh, how are you? How are you boys?

Good. Thank you.

Happy to be here. Thank you very much.

Lovely to see your faces. Thank you Alan for for making

the show today. I wasn't able to get there this

afternoon, but let's crack on with some car updates.

So you, Alan, what's happening in your car world?

Nothing really, the cars are just going fast.

I still haven't booked the D Max for its service.

Technically it's due at the end of July, but you know, I think that's that's more of a recommendation.

I still haven't hit my full 15,000 KS but I'll get it booked in close to that date. I I will try and take them up on

their or they call it courtesy car offer would be like, you know, lend me something nice and I'll, they'll probably lend me some kind of MG. There's like an MG and Isuzu

like joint dealership, so guaranteed they'll give me some kind of shitty MG and then I'll just be like Oh well, I guess you know, thank you. Rob.

Rob's excited for that, Aren't you, Rob?

Oh. One of those ones with the

golden doors that go up the sport.

That new sportsman. I saw one on the way.

Do you think they'd actually give me one of those?

Oh, I reckon so. No, they're going to give me

some real crap. Dude, if Ford gave me a Mustang

marquee, there's a there's a chance there's a chance.

There's a chance. So you're saying there's a

chance? They give you the marquee

because nobody else wanted it. Yeah, that is true.

Everyone's like you. No, that's that's about all the

updates for me. That's you, Scotty Doe.

Yeah, I don't really have anything either.

I had plans to book my car in for like a wheel alignment and stuff but just haven't done that.

School holidays getting to it. I know, I know.

I just went to the dentist instead.

Oh, OK, that that that'll be a a fun exercise.

Yeah, a pricey one. Yeah, it was just a check up,

but still. They're not still still pricey.

Check up clean $400.00 later you can.

Yeah, yeah, exactly right. Yeah, I've I've got, I've got

nothing. Rob.

Well, I've been assigned a case manager from Ford Australia.

Oh, have you? Oh, OK.

So that email that I sent out has being sort of acknowledged.

Did you did you say in the email?

Now listen here, you got you bastards.

And they're like. Very nice, very polite, since

it's my fourth brand new Ford in the last couple of years.

And now I'm very disappointed. And you know, with all these

little niggly things that have gone wrong with it and you know, after driving alone Ford Transit, it was so good compared to mine. You can really tell the

difference. And so they've signed a case

manager and they said if you, we don't reach out to you, we're very busy, reach out to us. Well at the end of the your

email then I. Got to, then I got to do

nothing. Probably not.

At the end of your strongly worded email, Rob, did you write? I just wanted a fair go.

I think. That's the key ingredient.

You have to say that. Yeah, I think I might have said

that. Actually, I think I might have

mentioned the fair go. If if not now, you got to say

when you're on today, tonight, OK?

Just trying to fair go. We just want a fair go.

Yeah, that's how you get every single bogan on your side, you know, like, yeah mate, it's me and just want a fair go, yeah.

Well, exactly. And so if I get, I don't know

what they can do. I mean, the diff is still noisy

at certain speed. It'll probably last three, two,

300,000 kilometres, who knows? But it's just whiny.

It's just not what it should be. The steering wheel, every time

the steering wheel you're hearing like a little squeak, like when you turn a steering wheel.

And then the backlash between when you back off and accelerate, you can fill a backlash between a gearbox or the diff or something. So obviously they haven't done

the backlash properly on the gearbox again.

I don't think they changed it the second time.

They just waited two weeks and they gave it back to me.

You should have put a mark on there somewhere.

I should have, could have. I probably had too much trust

and that the care factor was, I don't know, probably not there.

And I should have got, it's easy to crawl underneath it and I should have in hindsight. I didn't, and I'm disappointed

that I didn't because I normally would do that even before Philtres when I take the cars in for services.

Always Mark. Yeah, there's little things like

that because I don't trust the deals.

Yeah, I really don't. Yeah, and and you've got every

reason not to trust them after what you've been coming with it probably. I mean, you've had a few

instances with said company on a few different cars, you know, and it's just why would you trust them if that's how they're going to, if that's what they're.

Going to do you know, it's it's been a 5050, isn't it?

Two cars out of the four have had major issues. 5 cars really,

if you actually had two Mustangs, 1 Falcon, that's four and the trans air, sorry, four cars.

Yeah, so forth. So you you didn't.

How many issues did you have with the XS6?

Nothing. As in issues?

No, nothing at all. Yeah, it's been fantastic from

get from the get go. Never had an issue with it.

And the and the blue Mustang behind you've never had an issue? Not as such.

There's been a little rattle in the instrument cluster, but I'm not going to touch it. It's only at certain frequencies

into certain roads that you get that little rattle in the instrument cluster. And then I do have a, a, a major

metal resonance on the left hand side rear quarter.

I don't know if it's my, it'd be my doing partially because I put the exhaust system on it, so I'm not sort of too fussed about it.

But there is a metallic noise on the left that's not happening on the right. And it's not the exhaust.

It's in that quarter panel. So there's something loose

inside a panel when the exhaust actually gets to a certain frequency will actually 'cause that vibration through the quarter. But it's, yeah, it's a Mustang.

So yeah, with the, the, the, the, the loose slack rear suspension and the, and the vibration and the rattles, you know that that's, that's part and parcel, the visceral feel of a must. Well, when the car wants to

Mustang on you, at least you'll know.

Well, I paid. I paid for this.

Yeah, and it's only Mustang on me about three times so far and I and I should have learnt the first time it it happens on full lock power. So you never full lock power it

because it'll actually steer you into a barrier.

So you can you can actually power it in a straight line, it'll stay fairly straight, but as soon as you try to full lock it and try to do a a drift, it'll lose it.

So if you put fraction on. Is this like, like like

genuinely, is this like a, a feature that's been that's been built into these cars? Like is that is that have they

have they kind of put that into it like as.

A yeah, they have not not to lose control, but to it's for Rd vibration and comfort. So they've actually made it that

soft and, and that flexible to, to pick up all the, the movement on the roads and all the, the road vibrations just try to sort of, yeah, basically stop some of that going through to chassis.

So yeah, that's what I'm, that's what I read anyway.

But how true it is, I'm not 100% certain.

Someone in the Mustang forum probably know better than I would, but yeah. So it's real easy to fix.

You can put stop the hop, you can put various other braces on it to stop it pretty quickly. And and it's not overly

expensive. It's, you know, four, $500.00.

So I can't see why Ford couldn't have done the same thing and still kept that right quality. So with the aftermarket like you

know the aftermarket adapters and things that you can put on onto the cars, do they damage the NVH or is it pretty much as as they are just drives, you know, drives are pretty much the same from. Everyone that I've spoken to

can't tell the difference. It's just that, yeah, it's it

tends to just make the car feel a bit more taut through that corner. And I don't like that.

And I wear a Mustang on you as. Much.

I wear a Mustang on you. Yeah, well, my mate's got

something like, you know, I don't know, 700 plus horsepower to be supercharged Mustang and stays in the straight line no matter what he does to it. And he's put that in, out.

Yeah, OK. And he reckons it's the best

thing he's done right. Best thing he's done, yeah.

Yeah. Well, and that's a lot of people

say that it's not just him yeah. So everyone within the club

mentions how good it is so. And I'll try, yeah, I'll try to

do it, but my exhaust system won't allow me to do it.

So yeah. OK, so hang on.

So because it's not just from this from your generation, it's like the previous generations have always had a an issue.

Yeah, just mustanging. Like and that's the yeah, solid

rear axle. So it's the same thing what's

happening. So obviously they designed it

into the car because it is a Mustang.

So you got to keep that, you know, thing happening over the generations, don't you? Still got to hit crowds.

Like that's just what you meant to do, yeah.

Yeah, run into the the the islands and and into crowds.

Good stuff. So, So that's the Mustang,

that's the Transit. What else is the SEC?

The SEC You see, you said you were doing some work too.

Yeah. So that, that paint started

peeling on that when we painted the quarter.

So after we stripped that back and really high filled it and now I'm going to strip back the back door, the, the 2 doors and the back quarters and hopefully the paint won't peel on it.

But so far he's, yeah, he's done a bit of work on the front, on the, the boot and the the two guards.

They've been high fields so they could be blocked back and painted. But there's still, yeah, plenty

of work to do on that car. Unfortunately.

It should have been done six months ago, but I'll keep on pressing. Hopefully you'll get it done by

Christmas. Yeah.

And I'll have a car an SEC hopefully on the road by the new year That, that's what I'm looking forward to.

So that'd be good. I'm looking at maybe offloading

some cars just to downsize a little bit and not have as many registrations and insurances. So that that's been hitting

hard, especially with some of the new tolls coming in with the new tunnels, $16.00 a trip, stuff like that, tollways.

Was that is that through that's. Going to be that's going to be

the new tunnel. I think that's the daily pass

for going through the the new Westgate tunnel.

Wow. Yeah.

So yeah, you got to sort of try to save money wherever you can.

Oh, yeah. Oh, Orchestra of a BYD shark.

But did you like it? Yeah, it was awesome.

I loved it. I want one.

Dude, everybody is saying such good things about it, like like genuinely like the really good things.

Just everything about it, like even like I don't have to get my wife doesn't have to tell me off anymore now to watch the road because the car tells me off. That's great.

As soon as I look to the left to talk about it starts pinging and beeping and saying look at the road you know and the the the screen on the side you know, portrait and landscape settings and heads up display, heated cooled seats, the power.

That's gonna be there like advertiser slogan.

Ever miss your wife's nagging? We'll have it for free with the

new, you know. The new new.

Exactly. It's great, I said.

Deb, you don't need to nag anymore.

It's telling me off already. Far out.

Hey, she reckons it's got a great turning circle.

It takes off quick. They're they're very fast.

Like they're quicker than Raptors.

They're quicker than Raptors, yeah.

Look at at the moment they got if you pay cash 57 drive away.

That's unbelievable value. How's that?

That is unbelievable value. For what you get in it, I tell

you it is good. Yeah.

So are you going to piss off the transit and buy this or?

That's what I'm thinking. If I sell the transit some some

ladies come and have a look at it.

She's wanted, she wants to do it up and she only wants the three year and then she's going to sell it.

So it'll do, it'll do what she needs to do.

Yeah, if she buys that's that's fine.

I'll be happy. I won't feel bad about selling

it because it will be, it won't break down on her.

It's just me being more fussy than anything to tell the truth about the car. If she buys it on a weekend

she's going to come down and have a look at it down Geelong and as soon as I sell I think I'll be going in there buying a BYD and selling a Tesla, maybe even.

OK, OK. Yeah, yeah.

We said we're going to sell it, didn't we did.

Yeah, she's yeah, she said yeah, because she's going to basically she doesn't need a Tesla. We've got an electric hybrid, so

it does 100K range around town. So she doesn't need a Tesla.

And then I've still got a car for a weekend for me to get around and go, you know, tow the dirt bikes, go dirt bike riding.

You saw it. So Rob, what's the engine in the

BYD Shark? It's a don't quote me on it.

I popped the bonnet. I couldn't really see it.

I didn't do look at the specs, but it looks like a tiny little 4 cylinder petrol generator. It's all it is, is a.

Generator, that's all it is, yeah.

Yeah, I thought it's a generator.

No, it doesn't it. Doesn't do anything.

Wow. No, that's all it does is

provide power to the inverters to drive the wheels.

So you can hear it kick in and you can hear the motor Rev up when you fresh it, but when you're just cruising it's quite as you just can't hear anything. It's sort of like any electric

car. But even when you do fresh it

and the petrol motor kicks in, it still feels different to a normal petrol car. Yeah, it doesn't feel the same.

It feels good. I like it.

I really do like the way it feels and so on.

The the ride's a bit jittery. It's certain roads and whatnot,

but it's not harsh, so you can put up with it, I think.

And a lot of forward drives are fit, you know, even the Pajeros, the the front wheels start bouncing around and all sorts of things that they they do. And a lot of cars, as soon as

you put a slightly big guitar on, it becomes sort of, yeah, jumps around and bounces around. You need to start, you know,

doing work on a suspension and whatnot to get rid of that jitter. Yeah.

But apart from that, the seats are the bolster on the lower part of the seat. That's the only thing I can say

that's not the best on it is that there hasn't got enough length on your your lower on your thighs and your legs when you there's no support or not as much support that comes out.

Whereas some of the other cars have got adjustable bolster.

But it's got the lumbar support, air lumbar support control, heated cool seats. It's got it's got everything.

The sound system sounds awesome. The DAB system's fantastic.

The connectivity is great. It's not slow in any way when

you go through the screen, and the functions on a screen are fantastic. Rob, I've generally heard all

only good things about this car. Like the only negative was a

yeah, bit of a jittery ride, but again, they'll probably have that calibrated out by the update or the facelift.

I'll tell you a funny story just to add to that.

You know, they're selling gangbusters of the BYD 6, you know, Shark 6. I went into into a Ford

dealership the other the other day as part of my, I was doing year 10 workplace work experience visits and each of the dealerships got a got a plug in hybrid Ranger and he's like, guess how many? Guess how many, you know,

inquiries we thought about the car.

I'm like, oh jeez. Well, it's a range of, you know,

probably fair for you. He's like 0.

He's like absolutely zero. And I'm like, well, that's

you're bringing a product to market that's substandard to what's out there. You're going to cop it.

Substandard high cost. Yeah, Correct.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, you're right.

You spot on. Yeah.

Yeah, well, look, I can't. If I had the cash, I'd buy cash.

But even the finance is 1.9%. So if you've got some money in

your bank account, leave your money in the bank and invest your money and go and finance it.

Yeah. Yeah, so not bad.

Yeah, I reckon piss the piss the the transit off.

And transit Tesla get one car that way.

I've only got 1 rego, one insurance and we've got a car that would be utilised for both daily commutes on on on electric and then long trips. We've got, yeah, electric,

petrol. Yeah, yeah.

I think that's the way to go. Absolutely.

That's that's really good. So that's you Chad.

Welcome to the show mate. Hello everybody, Sorry I'm a

little bit late. That's right, finishing tunnel.

Well, we had the docile tones of Chad as he chipped in just just a second ago. But before you start Chad,

things were all on. Now we can wish Rob a happy 60th

birthday for for the other day. Happy birthday, Rob.

Happy. Birthday Rob and 606 litre. 6

litre yeah. Is it?

Oh LS 6 litre LS oh. Yeah, that's 600.

That's 600. The grosser, you know, he's he's

also, you know, we find a new job for him every week like so we got Rob's, you know, fabrications, Rob's electricals, Rob's cops this. Week Labour Punch on Labour.

Punch on this week's this week is rob's cuts he cut his own hair I'll. Cut my own hair look.

Oh, well done, right? Yeah, probably haircuts.

It's hard to see down the side because when my wife does it, she does the shocking job. So I thought I'll do it myself,

close me eyes and just go for it.

You use the number two or something like that and just start trimming. Yeah, tip mate.

And then you go do it, because when you turn 6, you got to start doing your eyebrows too. Yeah, let's see it.

Rob. We got we got Rob's cuts.

Rob's cuts Rob's. Cuts.

Rob's trims. Rob's Trims.

I'll do it for $5. I mean I'm the.

Dollar cut, I'm there. I got nothing but I'll still go

over mate. Don't worry, Spot on, spot on.

Love it. Good stuff, chat updates with

you mate. Updates with may not an entire

amount a lot amount sorry that wasn't even much English.

Not a lot to report on. I did come and see you at super

cheap on the weekend and picked up a little couple of things.

Thank you for getting me the paints the sample for the Magna, so I can do some little touch ups here in that What else?

I did end up buying the wiring harness for that just on the Internet, just from a, I don't know, some joint in Sydney, audio joint. So they should be arriving soon.

I'll put a head unit into that. I yeah, I did actually pick up a

very cheap set of wheels for the Magda.

I'm talking $80.00 for a set of four wheels with tyres.

But the tyres are tyres are shagged.

They're just alloys. Like it's exactly what you'd

expect if you went to marketplace and typed in alloys.

It's what you would expect to come up did.

You find about marketplace. Yeah, absolutely.

And in good marketplace fashion, it took me 3 days to arrange a bloody pick up for these things as well.

So yeah, so I went and picked those up this morning and the guy was really cool. He was like, man, I'm just, I'm

sick of bloody sudden stuff on marketplace.

You just get messed up, messed around and I'm like, yeah, I hear you man. It doesn't really like that.

And then and I was looking at his driveway just because we were talking and he had 100 Series on club plates.

And then he had a had a trailer hooked up to that with something under a top. And I'm like, what do you got on

the top? And I look under it and there's

like a 1920s Morgan, like a like a like wood wheels, wood frame, all that sort of stuff, just like sitting under a top.

And I'm like, wow, what the hell is this?

That's crazy. Yeah.

And then he's like, I'll show you.

And he just ripped the top off and it's got like a fall down windscreen, no roof. Like it's a permanent.

Yeah, yeah. And it was just so cool.

It was like this like bright, like, like zesty yellow on the, on the, on the body. And yeah, it was just super

cool. So I just chatted to the guy for

a little bit and it was winging about a whole bunch of things, you know, the government and how much they're going to take the money and all this stuff. And I was like, I was, I was

indulging him, you know, Anyway, So yeah, I took the wheels on.

I got home and I chucked them. I chucked one of them onto the

magnet just to see the fitment and stuff and you know, it's what you'd expect. They're like 14 by 6 or

something. Very weak offset, but it's the

size for the car so you know it is what it is.

Is it a better offset than what was on it?

Like is it? The all the, the, the, the

steelys are probably plus 50s or something, right?

So it's just maybe. Slightly better but they can be

changeable with other brand like other models or different manufacturers like the the bolt pen, the stud pen.

Yeah, it's 5 by 114. So a Ford any any Ford wheel I

can put on that car. OK.

Any like modern Nissan even it's just.

I've got some it's. 14 it's a 14 inch standard yeah factory size

so I just I've gotta keep somewhat similar to that if.

I've got some Nissan rims, I've got some Ford rims, I've got different sorts, all. That I might.

I might just bring the car around and just try a few.

I'm on see what they look like. Can't see what they look like.

I've got a, I've got a genuine set of dark argents which I had on my F6. Yeah, you know the.

Dark Argents we could we. Could put that on for crazy dude

dude. I look worth like 2 + 1000

dollars a cent they're. Very expensive.

Yeah, I will have happily let you borrow them from from Magna Fest just because I think that would be hilarious.

Really. Eighteens 18 Nineteens, bro.

The 19 I don't. Know if I do that?

Dude, I. Drive to Adelaide on 19. 100%.

The Speedo is going to be out like 50 KS, that's all.

That's all right, man. I'll I'll give you my, I'll give

you my, I'll give you my Game Boy Speedo, and you'll be fine.

Hilarious, yeah. You're you're fine.

I feel like it might be doing the magnet community a disservice if I did something like that.

Dude, you know it would. Be very funny.

It would be it would be the ultimate thing and it you know, you'll be like, well, look, my, my set of wheels is worth more than the car. You know that's.

Like tenfold. So like I'm possibly going to

sell this set of wheels anyway. I don't know what I'm going to

do with them because I've like, I had them on my F6 for a while and I've taken them off Yeah, but I.

Might as well just Chuck them on for a while 100%.

Do you sell them? Absolutely.

You bring that car over and we're putting one on like let's, let's do. That absolutely, yeah.

Play some dress UPS or something 100.

Percent, man. Yeah, I mean, why not?

Like it's such a weird start pattern.

It's 14 inch and it's 5 by 114, which I'm not sure if I really heard about like there's 15 or 16 is pretty common on other cars of that pattern, stud pattern.

But fourteens, it's really weird.

And I was thinking like, is it just the hubcaps that, you know, sometimes you get hubcaps that have 5 stud, but behind the hubcap is it's actually A4 stud. Yeah, I was thinking is it just

one of those? But no, I ripped the hubcaps off

and yeah, turns out, yeah, it's 5 stud, 5 stud pattern.

So anyway, I've got these wheels and you know, they're just whatever. I'll I'm actually trucks and

tyres on it and see how they sort of go.

It's ready for LS swap 2 isn't it with the start?

Yeah, absolutely, mate. Yeah, yeah, we'll just, we'll

rewall Dr converted. We'll, we'll, we'll dig out the

tunnel and put a new rear end in it because it's a solid beat that's. Yeah, it.

Is. Much work.

I thought it might have been a real drive version.

OK. But the first one's the rear

wheel drive, isn't it? No, they're all front wheel.

All front wheels. They they, they had front, they

had front wheel and they had all, then they had all wheel as well. You can get them as all wheel

OK. So pre Magna that was Sigma.

Sigma was. Sigma Sigma's real.

Real. Yeah, yeah.

What else have I done? I drive the Taraga around the

bunch. Wholesome stuff in it.

That's about it really is. That's all on my end.

Yeah, nice. Definitely think we should at

least just put the just just take a photo with the audience on. I think that would I think that

would be it'd piss off a lot of people and it I'd I'd.

Love. Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely.

I'm gum kid. Do we have to roll the guards to

to fit them in or what? I don't.

We might have to, but I just want to put them on for a photo.

Yeah, yeah. Here's the cheapest car you can

put on FPV Argents or OH. Man like.

Dark Argents. Yeah, Oh, dude, I I got that

set. I, I don't know if I told you,

you guys haven't got that set, but when, when Ford and Brody were like, you know. Pissing about it was one of

those. Yeah, that like that they were

just they didn't like the Ford on Bayford's in on on the was it the humour on Sydney Road, like the the parts place.

They were just that was getting rid of all their, all their Ford stuff, like Ford Australian stuff.

And the guy's like to my Mama, I know your son's got a Typhoon.

Does he, does he want to come have a look, you know, at some stuff? So she's like, yeah, go down.

I got, I got a $5000 AP racing clutch for my Typhoon for like 1300 bucks. I got.

Then I got a set of the Argents. Like a genuine set of Argents

set of four. 1400 bucks for the set.

They're normally 1400. No brainer dude.

They're. 1400 bucks a wheel normally you're like that.

Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

So I was like, yeah, I'll have those.

Thank you very much. Heavily discounted.

But yes, I definitely think we need even like even if we don't drive, we just, we just put put them on.

It'd be like, yeah, man. 5 inches bigger than factory.

That's cool. Hilarious.

Like it's got the tyres on it are like 185754 teams.

They're like trailer spec like what you'd put on trailers.

Oh dude, it's very funny. But yeah, we'll we'll track the

Argents on, see what they look. Like can we?

I reckon it'll look. All right, stupid.

Yeah, it'll look all. Right the the little break.

This is going to be so tiny behind.

Wilwood. Brakes that's.

Funny. Yeah, a full wood breakup.

Grade maybe Karen the. The fake brake calliper clips.

The the the fake Brembo ones. Oh dude, imagine.

That's the way to go. This is getting too much.

Just talking about your Magna. I I did after the show last

week. Go and see it.

You know what I it it is really good.

Like it's like, OK, you're right about the body.

It's you know, the guy used had quite actually Braille parking just, you know, bumped into everything.

But like interior's nice. The engine, you know, seems, you

know, everything seems healthy on it.

So I'm really excited to see to see that on the road and and at magnifest because like it's going to be mang, the Ford is going to be a huge event. So it's.

Going to be mang. The Ford is going to be lit.

Yeah, I cannot wait for it. That's good.

Good to hear updates with me. So I finished my chair, the

parts came. I saw Mr. David Prince today and

he gave me my, my, my armrest that were that were lovely.

And I pulsed and I put them on and I think it just tied it all together. And it's, it's really, it's

finished it off. So I think Scotty wants me to

make some some some furniture for him.

For the house, for the. House yeah well I set the step

because we got this old couch upstairs that we were wanting to get rid of we're going to do hard rubbish it and I'm like well I've got something to replace it with you know I can bring my chair upstairs and she just like just looked at me and just. Absolutely not.

But it's but it's very comfortable.

It is, it is. She has said that she's like,

it's actually quite comfortable. So I was like, thank you.

Betty, when when you decide to buy a house, you're going to build like a barn to the medium where you could have your man cave and then have that little house on the side, but have the big shed with all the cars and your chairs and.

Absolutely. That is the, that is the plan.

I I want to make. I kind of want to make all the

furniture for it. Yeah.

Like I want to make all the different chairs and I could just make a whole bunch of just like like those type of chairs.

You know, I've got, I've got 2 WRX seats that I like GDWRX seats that are mint that I've that I've never used.

I could make them into like into chairs and stuff like that.

So. Gaming chairs.

Office chairs. Chairs.

So your engine coffee tables. Yeah, your your your Bonnet BBQ

100. Percent.

Yeah, absolutely. Your boot bed.

There's the feeding going here. I, you know, I think I think

having that would be, would be kind of cool, like the, you know, genuinely, if they, if that's like it'll be the ultimate man cave and it, you know, and it'd be, and it'd be unique pieces like it'd be, you know, one of a kind pieces that are that are, you know, on, on the piece.

So, so yeah, I'm, I'm really looking forward to like after making the chair, like I've kind of got a knack for it now.

Like, OK, I can, you know, I can do this.

And that was to be fair, just some scrap laying around at work, you know, like that. That wasn't even I didn't buy

have to buy any timber because it was just all off cuts of just old, you know, crap. So put it together.

It's it's it's really, really good.

So that was that was a fun experience.

And now that I can do that, I'm like, well, what else can I make? It's it's got the, you know, the

brain ticking over. So if, if Steph doesn't choose

to kill me after doing this, we'll, we'll, we'll soon find out how far I can go before I no longer appear on this on this pucky little podcast. I think, yeah, we could just do

a trip out to pick a part or whatever and and jollies and just see what, you know, weird, weird things you can find to make. Yeah, manage out of.

And it's always easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission, you know? I've, I've learned.

I've learned my lesson about that.

Believe me. So, but like I, I was thinking

like we could, we could like look for the most like luxurious, like couchy kind of back seats and stuff that you could, you could make chairs like, like my Ltd had the most incredible back seat. Almost burnt.

They were good and and Rob almost burnt it, but it was like it was like a cushion, right? And so it was it was like a

chair and it like a, you know, like a bench back bench seat.

But then I had like that much foam of a cushion on top of it, like you just sink into it. It was just.

It was. Yeah.

OK. Like the car was burned down in

Rob's gear and almost took his house with it, but, you know, it was that's. I mean, we laugh about it now,

Rob, but you weren't laughing at the time.

I. Didn't realise they filled the

quarters. It was with so much foam, like

go guess like you had like a cavity there and they fill it with that, you know, expander foam.

Yeah, that's what caught a light.

So they put all that and the sound ending in there because there's no TD, mate. You gotta make it quiet, of

course. Gotta make it quiet and bloody

hell yeah. For Australians like, yeah, we

know how to make that car quiet. But car things I've done this

week, though, as I said to you guys, I was on work experience visits with the year 10s and you know, as, as, as, as your teacher, as your teacher, you can, you, can you put down your name for like, you know, the different, the different kids where they're at. So like they put them up on the

board and 1st invest dress and, and I was like me, I'm looking for all the car things to go to. So got 2 car dealerships and

then I got Ford head office in Broadmeadows, which is pretty cool. I also got like a, like an I, I

an optometrist, but, but it's not, it's not I talk, it's Car Talk. So so we'll, we'll leave that

one. So the first thing I went to,

you know, I went to a Ford that they were really lovely there.

They were, you know, they were really nice people.

Speak to the guy that he would turn out to be the kids father, that of the of the of the kid I went to go see.

He was like he was, he was pretty, pretty honest about about Ford. He's like, look, we're known as

the Ranger company with good for good reason, because that's all we sell. It's just Rangers.

He's like F-150 monumental failure, like like monumental failure, like it's just dead in cell marquee failure.

You know, then he was telling me about the plug in hybrid Ranger.

It's been there for ages, not a single inquiry on the car, nothing. So failure, you know, like it's

he's like, we don't have any small cars.

We always like we quite literally got nothing.

He's like Mustangs priced out of existence now, like, you know, it's all dried up because not, no one wants to spend that much money on Mustang. You know, he's like the only

things that are keeping us in business Ranger and and Everest, which, which which was really like, I was like, well, yeah, you know, you're saying whatever you're saying to me what everybody else has been thinking.

So it was really transparent. It was really, really honest

about it, which which was good to say from from a from a dealer's perspective. So, so that was pretty cool.

Then I went to another kid when I saw him at Mazda in Essendon Fields. A great kid, really doing doing

a great job. Bit of a hustler.

I found out he, he sells Hot Wheels.

So but what he does is he goes to the, he goes to like Target and big W and stuff. And he takes, he takes photos of

like the really rare ones, hides them behind shelving and puts them up on marketplace as you know, and as like an exorbitant price, people buy it. So yeah, I'll buy it.

He goes back, finds them, pays for them at the cheap price and sells them for the, you know, for the more expensive price.

I'm like, what a hustler, what a cool kid.

You know he's a scalper, not a hustler.

It's easy. Takes a sculpt and all sculpted.

So, so, so, so that that I was like, yeah, he was pretty good, but he was having a great time selling cars and doing all sorts of stuff. So I was I was really cool to

see him. And then the last one that I

went to was at Ford head office. So it turns out you have to know

a member of you have to have a member of family in there to, to be able to get in there because it's, you know, they, they it's quite hard to get into. And the kid was telling me they

went, they went to the proving grounds, saw crash testing, say all saw all this. They let me into a certain

section. They didn't allow me to go into

like the into the clan modelling section because obviously that's all high end secret. So that was a bit of an eye

opening experience. But so, so yeah, that was that

was my trip with with that car related was Oh yeah, I got a puncher in the Laser and I took it in to go get the puncher repaired. But turns out that the wheel was

just like tyres stuffed and my wheels and stuffed up to get them rerolled. So I put my stockies back on

sixteens. So I'm back to sixteens guys.

And it's just, it's quite literally spin city.

Like I just, it just spins everywhere like this is ridiculous. So gonna have to adjust my

driving. Less rotational mass.

Correct. Yeah, like like the wheels are

so much lighter than than the, you know, the ones that that came off it. They 17.

That was 17. Yeah.

But they're also wider too. Like, they'll still.

Yeah. Yeah.

So they're actually got. More material, more tyre.

Yeah, everything. 100% so so yeah, they got me thinking of

what what wheels I could put on there and and do but that that'll be that'll be for another time because I've got to, you know, save a bit of queen, but that's that's pretty much it in my car Updates, gentlemen, We'll we'll get into tonight's topic. Now this is becoming a favourite

of ours. Who bought that new and when was

the last time you've seen one? So I've got a I've got a good

smile from all the boys here. Alan.

Alan was getting pumped ready for his Jack, for his Jackaroo.

I'm sure, I'm sure I'll try to come on something good.

So I've got I've got over in the list.

If you guys have got some as well, you can put them in.

That's that's totally fine. We can, we can discuss them.

But my first one for you guys sticking with the Magna theme is who bought the rally at Magna? Like who bought that over an,

you know, an XS6 turbo or, or an SS Commodore?

Because they they weren't, they weren't quite pricey like they were, they weren't a cheap car available as an auto or a manual. You can get the manual with a,

you know, factory limited slip diff.

So I think you'll get them in black, silver and red with the colours. I think maybe could get them in

a while. I'm not too sure.

Andrew Wigglesworth again, he'll be yelling at his at his computer, at his radio screen right now.

But yeah, they weren't, they weren't a cheap car.

They were, you know, they made good power, but they didn't make as much as like a, you know, like a like an XSX turbo or or an SS, but they were, they were, you know, in arguably a very, very well sorted car, you know, evo body kit, evo kind of wheels. Wish they would have come all

wheel drive. That would have made them, you

know, a real, you know, hot ticket.

I I think, but I was just trying to think who actually bought that car brand new because like you'd have to say, no, I'm, I'm not, I don't want power out of those things.

I want I want this. And, and it was quite a striking

body kit when it when it came out.

Like I remember, I remember when when they came out, people were like, oh, OK, and and they compare them to well, hang on, no, sorry, I'll, I'll take that back.

They compare them to Xu sixes, which were the supercharged, you know, HSV and they compared them to to AUVCTSI think that I think that would I think that would that era.

So yeah, who bought the magnet out of all three of those?

Sales reps. What's the first thing my mind

goes to? Yeah.

Yeah. Why the Why the sales Rep?

Because they they get an allowance for a lease and they go, well, I'm driving around every day.

I'm going to drive around something that's hard, fun, but still yet practical. So, yeah, sales reps.

Well, like, they weren't. They were all individually

numbered. Yeah.

Like, like they weren't a. Mass produced mass.

Produced car. Yeah.

How many did they make? It's got to be in the thousands,

right? No, I mean, I don't think they

made it anywhere near that really.

I think so that the engine had 210 kilowatts, they had a more aggressive cams, they had higher compression, you know, remapped ECU. Yeah, I'm only showing 180

kilowatts. Are you lying, Maddie?

Hang on. Well, it says here.

Tunable. It says 180 is what it has now.

Yeah, if it's lucky. Yeah.

I've seen one for sale for 200 with 269,000 KS on it, a manual and they won 11 grand. Wow.

That's all right. Yeah.

And you lost 30 grand. They made, they made, they made

500 of them. Oh.

Wow, they made. So they they are quite a rare

car. Again, all numbered.

You know, inky wheels. Like, I think they look really

cool. I think they're a cool car.

I didn't know they were front wheel drive only.

That's. AI thought they were all drive.

No, I don't know why because I almost bought 1.

Oh, did you really on Magda? Yeah, were.

You a sales Rep at the time? No, no, no.

So what I'm what I'm looking at is 500 were planned, so does that even guarantee that 500 will win out?

If that's the case, then my answer to who bought that knew was no one. Like I don't think anyone bought

it. I think maybe dealerships had at

least like 1, you know, not every dealership but maybe the main Mitsubishi dealers had one as like a demonstration and then all. The ones in the market

demonstrated. A few sales, but again, yeah, I

think like styles reps maybe even like commercial, commercial property people because I feel like it's it's it's in between like a really hot fast car and then a base model.

So it's like. It'll be a certain young manager

moving up in the in the business world with a, with a car allowance going. I'll want that, yeah.

Yeah, well sorry, I stand corrected the the Wikipedia page is wrong, but 180 kilowatts is is what it had.

Using Wikipedia and you're a teacher.

And I'm a teacher that's that's poor form on my behalf, but.

Next, you're plagiarising the the quiz you.

Should have just asked ChatGPT. That is, that is what I've done.

Yeah, it would have hallucinated you.

An answer there's like, you know, oh, you're definitely 175 kilowatts. Well, 180 a 180 kilos 200 and.

41 is that with 95 or 90? 898.

Flex Tune. Flex.

Tune I I think I think the person that bought a rally art Magda for me would have been would have been a person that just was like I don't want to Ford and I don't want to hold and but I want I want to yeah like.

I want something Aussie. I want something Aussie and

like, but I don't, but I don't want to be boring and get a Camry. So like I, you know, that was

kind of like I think where where they've gone and it's a bit special. It's a numbered car, you know,

and. It had, it had to be like a

hipster, like young managerial person.

So you've got to have that managerial salary, but that's not frequently young people. So you have to be like a rare,

rare individual there. And then you're a hipster on top

of that because you're like, no, I don't want a Ford or a Holden.

I could easily get a nice XR6 turbo here, but no, I've got to be different and get this 180 kilowatts of pure, you know well Mitsubishi power. Well, this is it came out in

2002. Yeah.

So and, and these were released in 2002.

So this is these are towards the end of the AUS life, early BA life. You know, it's they would have,

there would have been some hanging around.

Like, I don't think they would have sold all of them like that, as as bad as that sounds. I think that I think they're a

great car, but like, I don't, I don't, I, you know, they were quite striking and polarising with, with their design.

So yeah, I think I think you're under something.

But you know, buying a Tonsley Tigford like it's it's a really interesting, you know, mix of what that car, like what magnet was like it was, you know, a well built, you know, put together car. But in terms of like, you know,

this is the fast one. It it was kind of I don't know,

like it had a you know, it had a it was a proper going over like had reworked heads camshaft, you know, ACU tune, you know, all, all all the work. So like it wasn't just like a

stick, especially it was a bit of a, it was quite literally a Tonsley Tickford, you know, like that's, that's the name it's been given because, you know, it it, it had a full rework.

And, you know, I, I think that they, the person that bought that said, no, I don't, I don't want any of this, you know, straight out of factory. I want something a bit more

special that's had a bit of a, you know, bit of a hand built touch, kind of had a, you know, bit of a a rarity factor.

And, and you'll get more rarity factor in that.

Then you'll get like an XICX or or even an X U-6 because like, you know, they were, they were a bit bit of a nugget.

So, yeah, and in fact, you could get it as a manual too.

I think really, really helped it for like if we're an enthusiast, especially with a with an A limited slip, you know, it'll make it'll make for a great car. But that's who I think would

have would have bought. I said I'd, I'd Alan, you reckon

they're a hipster, but I reckon they they just, they just despised, you know, the other, the other options.

Sounds like a hipster. What about you, Scottie?

Who bought The Who? Bought down, looking different.

I reckon it's the the grown up Evo person.

OK. Yeah, I like that.

OK. I think I'm trying to think

around that time it was probably tricky to even get an EVO.

Well, maybe someone who had an evo in the.

Yeah, could have had one and now needed a bigger car.

Got the family. Obviously you can't sit there

and drive a daily Evo as much because it's around the time of Evo. What year is that, Magna?

O2O2. So Evo is 6 and seven roundabout

there. I think.

Yeah, so and they would have been, they would have been pretty pricey for an EVO back then before they kind of dropped off, they start to plummet. So I think it was the next best

thing that you could obtain here in Australia.

And there was a bit of hype of, you know, originally they were going to supercharged I think and have it all wheel drive, but they couldn't because they ran out of money.

So I think it's someone that's a bit of an Evo fan.

Well, well, here's a bit of trivia for you.

Australia did sell Mitsubishi Evo Evo 6 like Tommy Max Yeah, they sold off. I think we got allocated like

100 Australian delivered cars I think from from and they were like they were like 80. They were 80 grand back in O1

like like they they and you can only get it from like select dealers from from from my research from from ages ago.

So like yeah, they didn't sell many, many Aussie delivered.

You know Tommy Max, like really, really rare car.

So, but again, 80 grand, it's a shit tonne of money.

Like that's, that's not, you know, that's not a small amount of a small amount of money and that's 80 grand 2001 money, you know, I mean, like. That's half a house.

My uncle bought his house in Glenroy for like 90 grand back in, you know, 98 or whatever it was like it's, it's, it's just, you know, that's, yeah, like that.

It's, it is qualitatively, it's qualitatively house money.

But, but you'd be sitting, you'd be still sitting pretty on that car right now. But yeah, I it's, it's very much

an Evo, Evo 6. Just, you're right, it's really

a bit grown up, isn't it? Like just in a bigger in a

bigger body. Yeah, yeah.

That's the people that I that I think would have bought it.

I was just having a look. If it was in today's money for

that EVO, it would be about $150,000.

Oh. My God for an evo, wow, amazing.

How much was the the Evo 10? So what 70606070 grammes?

Yeah, I was looking. Yeah, it's.

A great price for that car, isn't it?

Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Like, like I'm, I'm just trying

to look up how much the, the, the, the, the rally out Magna was new. So that's, that's kind of my

pick. I think it was the mature Evo

person that saw that pop up and thought, oh, it looks like they've used the Evo 6 body kit and stuff.

Definitely the same rear wing and everything.

Yeah, I think my wife will say yes to it because it's the family size car. It's family size, but evo fun.

Well, close to, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, there's, I was just reading some of the reviews and I was still saying how good the handling in that boss so.

That's pretty impressive for that size car.

Yeah, and they used genuine Evo 6 rims too.

Oh, they were actually Evo 6. Yeah, the seven spoke.

Enki wheels. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Straight from the Evo, yeah. It's awesome.

Yeah, they went on to the EVO 7. And you can tow a caravan.

Yeah. Yeah, they didn't do well on the

Evo 7 I don't think. That's my personal taste.

Not a fan of the Evo 7 that much.

They were 40, about 49 grand. The the rally art Magna back

back new O2 to O3. So like like they weren't they

weren't cheap like that. Like they were an expensive

they're an expensive car. But again, but originally the,

the rally art Magna was supposed to be a lot more special than what it was. But but they to get like the,

the, you know, because they, they on the concept, it had the, the recaros had the full evo, the evo Momo steering wheel, like, you know, like that met the metal Evo wheel.

It had, it had a few different bits and pieces and it was like a real like special car. But the price would have just

went out, went out in the 50s and they're like, well, it wouldn't make any viable sense because, you know, it's a it's really a lot more expensive than an SS and then an XR6 and all that stuff. So so they kind of had to cut

corners somewhere, but but the body kit stayed the excuse me, the Evo 6 wheels, which which which are on it, you know, stage. So yeah, I'm I'm with you,

Scotty. I think I think a person that

wanted to keep it in the in the Mitsubishi family, but you know, wanted a grown up Evo. I think they've I think would

have done that. So alum, you've said a, who did

you say and you said. A young hipster.

Hipster. Who's received a management

position at work and hence A hefty salary?

Rob, Rob, said a a salesman sales Rep.

And Chad, you say the same thing.

Yeah, I'd say similar. And then like, yeah, someone who

maybe was in like. Many.

Medical equipment sales person or like you know something a bit like off centre, like maybe not an everyday type of styles job, yeah, but sales I think essentially.

Next one, guys who bought the the first Tesla, you know P90 DS like like the first proper Tesla that they sold here who were the first adopters of Tesla in Australia or in the world really that they were buying them because they weren't cheap.

They were a new technology. They were that.

Was what, 2012? 2012 Yeah, yeah.

Who bought, who bought them? They like like you got.

I remember when you bought them. You get free charging for life,

you get all all that extra stuff that carries over with the car.

They have supercharging then. I'm not too sure they probably.

Would have. That wasn't announced, that

wasn't offered yet, was it, I think.

They might have had a met the outlets like yeah, maybe.

Yeah, Richmond, Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

I think you're right with that, Rob.

No, it's going to be someone cashed up, maybe someone who's retired and is looking for a a viable.

So anyone? Car.

Yeah, anyone east of the east of the Yarra River.

Yeah. But I'm thinking if you're too

old, you're probably not willing to take the risk on an EV at that time. So feel like you have to be

affluent definitely, but also like a tech pro almost to take the risk on, you know, what is a car that you got to plug in at home or you know, Bitcoin dealer.

Yeah, it. Had to be somebody who had a lot

of Bitcoin at the time. It wasn't valued at the same

rate, but they had Bitcoin. So they clearly knew they were

like an aspiring tech pro or an affluent tech pro that was already there. Like somebody who's, you know,

at the time got a, a little company in the inner eastern suburbs that does some kind of tech based, you know, what are, what are those bullshit words that people use when they're like, oh, we find off the shelf solutions for businesses in terms of procurement and they use those big words and I'm like, what are you talking about?

What are you actually? Doing telling the truth,

they're. Just consultants, yeah, like.

Like maybe I'm still seizing off my plane ride from Brisbane when there was like 2. Shit to a farmer.

Yeah, 22 consultant young people that were talking to each other and they were just. Talking such bullshit and.

I'm like, what can you tell me in simple words what you actually do? Because you don't actually do

anything. And it's those people that would

have been like, you know what, I'm going to take a punt on this, this guy. You get paid for your opinions.

Yeah, this guy, Elon Musk, seems like he's onto something.

I'm going to put some good money into this car, even though I have to plug it in at home and I can't charge it very quickly.

It had to be. Somewhere.

So what were they worth, Maddie, when they came out?

Oh, that's a great question. They they weren't 100.

They were. They were got 100 grand I think

from every so so Tesla, I thought.

They were about 90K, something like that, yeah, could be more.

So they were in Australia. Well, the P90D was like the top

spec one. Yeah, that was like the dual

motor crazy fast one. That was $215,000, yeah.

Especially Bitcoin. Yeah Bitcoin so like Model S

hang on let's Tesla model SI want to go Model S Model S new new price and Oz. So they started at $133,000.

So yeah, they they were, they were not cheap.

They weren't a cheap car. So like again, I think, you

know, big money cash borrowers is kind of yeah, I think you're under something there, Alan, but.

Like somebody who's LinkedIn borrowers like revolutionising business techniques, using off the shelves, you know, influence protocols that combined with, you know, this and that.

And it's like again, I hate you bit.

Like, bit like Mehdi, an influencer, yeah.

OK, yeah, no worries, says me with like all old cast.

Revolutionising the podcast world.

Podcast World. But I think I remember I, I met,

I met up with Riz one time and he's like, we'll go, we'll go to the Tesla dealership. Just have a look.

Just, you know, he organised a test drive for one.

And the people that were in there were either young, you know, young professionals or they were, you know, really old people that were, they were looking at them.

And there's like a, you know, kind of like a end of, you know, like like a last car kind of thing.

But I think the main people that bought them architects or, or you know, or design or like designers and I think designers bought them because they were, they were quite, you know.

Minimalist. Minimalist, yeah, like they're,

they're a simple car in terms of like, yeah, sorry, something's in my in terms of like the design aspect, you know, they're very Apple, you know, in terms of like, you know, Apple esque in terms of that design. Simplicity and less is more.

Correct. They're very deeper Rams in

terms of, in terms of design philosophy, you know what you see in these 10 principles of, of good design.

So, you know, designers really bought those cars because they, you know, they, they were like, well, you know, it's minimalistic, it's this, it's, it's the future, it's XYZ.

Then they saw the appalling build quality, but then that was another story. But.

You. Want to talk about that?

We, we can, we can gloss over that, but the, the earlier adopters definitely, definitely were, were taken back by, wow, all this tech and all this power, you know, like it's, it's kind of like early adopters of the, of the iPhone, you know, like, or their iPod. And, you know, I was like, why

would I want to spend all that money on an iPod when I can buy an MP3? And, you know, and then everyone

end up getting on like, they're like, they're the early trendsetters of, of that. Also certain certain

demographics with a lot of money bought them as a big, as just a big flex on every, on everyone else.

But I won't get into that. But I remember seeing when I was

at uni and, you know, a young kid, like I read people that was driving 1 and I was like, what? I was like, what?

Like that's just. Like wild.

That's nuts. I was like, this is insane.

Sorry. Anyway, that that was that was

another story. But I think I think designers

bought them like like people that were into design bought them as an as an early, you know, as an early, there were early adopters of it. What about you?

What about you, Scotty? I was leaning towards what

you're saying, Manny, is exactly what I was going to say.

I was thinking architects, yeah, art studio owners.

Graphic designers. Yeah.

And then also I like the IT side of things.

I didn't really think of that one, but I could easily see IT.

People would have been driving, would have been driving those ones. And I'd say later on the people

decided to jump onto it because at first I was thinking this and I thought, no, they wouldn't have jumped onto it yet.

Are like doctors and dentists. Yeah.

But I feel like they would have jumped on a bit later on, not straight away. Don't stay with their BMWs and

stuff. Correct.

I want to add to that, doctors and dentists are quite conservative usually with their, with their automotive vehicle choices. And like, you know, I remember

when I went into the dealership when I was speaking to the guy there and he was, he was a lovely guy.

We got talking and he's like, he's like, yeah, you know, people are all waiting for the Model 3.

There's he's like, there's we got so many orders for the Model 3 because one, it's, it's a, it's 60 odd grand or whatever it was like whatever, how much you paid for all yours.

I can't remember how much it was, but it was a lot cheaper than a, than a, than a, the Model S.

And you know that and that they were, you know, they were the, they were the ones that said, OK, well, this is, this is the future. You know, it's, it's happening,

but I want to wait for an affordable price.

And then they then they jumped on board with that.

So yeah, I, I can see, I can see that that decision definitely being made, Scotty. Yeah, again, like I said,

Bitcoin. Yeah, someone who's made their

money in some sort of specialist field in the technical world.

And someone's just like Elon Musk.

I love. Him.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Hank.

Scorpio, Hank. Scorpio I used to recall back in

those days when I saw quite a few of them there.

Kings, Kings King Street, down St Killer Rd.

Like going down to where I used to work, just assemble the time with, yeah, sort of elderly professionals.

And then then you get the other extremely young guys driving them. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Yeah. Chad, who do you reckon bought

them? Yeah, it's definitely some sort

of, you know, designer of a sort, but also maybe like someone who does like like a plastic surgeon.

I know we talked about doctors being in service, but I think it's a very specialist sort of area of medicine.

And I think they would have also been making so much money that they would be like 130 grand for a car or 200 and something for the best model. Yeah, whatever, you know, tax

write off. Yeah, I'm thinking like, yeah,

that and architect, I reckon is that is the thing of yeah, it's good design. It's simple, it's clever and it

hits all those markers and I think they would have lapped it up, and they probably did. Like I saw one not too long ago

and that's why I put it onto this list because it was actually on my list until I saw until I saw this car and it's still a good looking car. Like it's, I think it's aged

really, really nicely, I think. It's a really good design.

Really good design, yeah. Like whereas the Model 3IN

comparison to the new Model 3 hasn't aged as, you know, like it looks Wow, that's that's definitely generational.

Whereas whereas the Model S still looks like it could be sold today. So I yeah, I think that that was

a really good piece of design. I think it was a class it.

Has a presence on the road. It's a bigger body car and it

is, it has some lines that are like conservative but also like very well futuristic for its time.

And it just still looks really good.

Every time I say what I'm like, man, that's a good looking car.

I really really like them. Yeah, I dig them.

Like, I really like them. I think, you know, and that's

why, that's why I think those designers would have bought them, you know, and the tech Bros would have bought them because, Oh yeah, you know, we've got a list Silicon, Silicon Valley money. They could just go just go buy

them. But yeah, I, I'm, I'm with you

guys. I think that's, I think that's,

that's your, that's your demographic right there.

I have one. Yeah, Chad, go.

Now I've missed the previous episodes where we've done these Bosch. Have we done the Ford Taurus?

We did. We did that.

The last one we did OK. Damn.

Yeah, All right. I'll think another one.

Scotty Scotty got the best one for the Ford Taurus.

And then did. Ed see someone drive one and he

was. He was.

Yeah, he did. What he got the exact person?

Two of the T. That's incredible.

Oh, that's good. Oh, just something right?

Sort of right Left wing XL7V6 Grand Vitara.

His name's Rob and his. Yes.

You had an XL7? Yeah, it was the one of the best

cars I ever had. Yeah, it was awesome.

Was it AV 6? V6 yeah yeah, 5 speed.

You know, I want to add to that like this is a good this is a good question. I think the XL7 was a very under

appreciated car and the people that bought them were knew what they were and knew that they were actually had off road capability, like proper off road capability like like they were, they weren't a soft roader. Like they actually had off like

you could do things with them. Yeah, like the, the Vitara was a

was a good car. I think there were people that

bought them wanted something less agricultural than a chimney, but nowhere near as expensive as like a Bajirao.

And and that's kind of it fit in with their, with their budget and they still wanted to go off roading.

They still wanted to. Family mover, people mover,

Correct. Every day, daily, the whole lot.

Still too big? Not too big, correct?

And they didn't want a big 4 wheel drive.

They wanted something that they can, they can take and use and be comfortable, easier to park, doesn't drive or doesn't drive as much like a truck, but still have off roading chops and, and at an affordable price. So a little bit more than a

Jimmy, a little bit less than a than a, you know, basic Pajero kind of in the middle. I think that's the people that

bought them, young families that had a couple kids that were like, well, we want a four wheel drive, but we don't wanna spend big money and we don't have to buy a big one.

Yeah, absolutely. Spot on, spot on.

And on on top of that, like the places that got me to through melt disappointment down some of the steep gnarly hills, sand dunes, up the road and then every day to work.

It was just brilliant car for years.

Do you? Reckon I was the one of the best

cars you ever had, if not the best car you ever had.

Never had an issue with it, that's for sure.

Yeah, yeah, it was real good. So boys, would you agree that's

the person that bought that car, or who else would would have bought that car? I think so.

I agree. Yeah, it definitely fits the the

bill of simple design car that is built to last and it's priced at a point where a lot of young people or young families would consider it. Yeah, I'd say young families.

I'd say mother and father in early 30s, late 20s that have got jobs, you know, they've had a kid and another kids on the way, you know, a lot like, and they wanted a car that they can still live out there, you know, their backpacking days.

But in a, you know, in a, in a cheap, you know, kind of in a, in a cheaper full drive kind of way.

When did you have it, Rob? Well, born brand new in 2002.

Well, there you go. So you would have been, yeah,

just around like late 40s. Oh sorry, mid early 40s then.

2002 I was 32. O30 sorry yeah.

Oh my God, 30 years ago. Yeah.

And on top of that, the price point was just right.

It was like, again, it was in the low 30s.

So it was price point was right compared to some of the I think there's a Mazda and the Ford. The escape, yeah.

Escape. Yeah, of the time I drove them

all. And that was a.

Tribute. Tribute.

It was a tribute. It was a tribute, yeah.

And that one just sort of stood out.

It really did. The V67 seats, the whole lot.

It was great taking the kids to whatever, athletics and soccer and all that sort of stuff, you know, Cal aesthetics.

Deb loved it, you know? The IT was the tribute was

wasn't the best car in the world.

It was just a tribute. So thank you Scotty.

I got, I got one joke. I got.

I got it. Alan, you gotta go, don't you?

Yes, I do. Apologies, gentlemen.

See you all. Enjoy the rest of the programme.

We'll see you mate, catch you later.

Buddy, take care. Bye.

Hey, Alan. Yeah, no, I, I think, I think

we're spot on with that young families that bought that, that wanted that wanted that, you know, that cheap 4 wheel drive.

But you know, somebody bit new and yeah, I'm, I'm with you.

My last one for the for the evening is who bought the Subaru liberty Xesia Xesia Like who the hell bought that?

Like that is a. Weird one, it is a.

It's such a weird car. So that was an Australian

delivered model. Yep, sure was, Sure was.

OK, because the only person that I've ever known and currently do know is a guy is a Japanese guy at my work.

Who lived in Japan and had one there and then came here and bought 1 here? I'm like, I mean I kind of get

it. It's like that, you know, all

rounder waggon, different design on the outside, you know, like it's a bit off centre. But it was a weird car because

it was from memory it was A2 seat, 2 seat, 2 seat like it was, I think it had yeah, I'm pretty sure it either had or was it a, it might have been A7 seater.

I can't remember if it was now. So I think early ones were a six

seater. So this it says here the lack of

a 7th seater always been a handicap for the Exiger.

But then then they got 7 seats later on.

But early ones were early ones were six cylinders.

Sorry, it was 6 seaters which is just like.

That's just a weird weird car. So 222, right?

222 yeah, the early ones and then the later ones got 232 so they will prop A7 seater in the end.

But yeah, like they weren't like a liberty was a great car, but liberties aren't a massive car, you know, I mean like like and if and if you wanted a bigger version of a liberty you you know, you kind of you kind of bought a forest.

Well, not a Forester, but like, you know, a higher version you could, you could have got, you know, something, something a little bit bigger. But the Aziza was just kind of

like, I just felt like it had its own place in the market that that it it, it filled a gap that nobody, nobody wanted or nobody needed. Except for the the families who

might have had their house near the snow and they used to go to snow every weekend. Correct.

Yeah, that, that's a good one. That's a good one because all

wheel drive. All wheel drive, fit the family

in there, throw all the skis in and off you go.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

So it's sort of like a family well off but not well off enough to buy AML or? Yeah.

Or something like that. Like like they weren't super

expensive. And I guess that's kind of why

they were, you know, they were, they were bought like your base model was 38 and higher models were in the 40s, early 40s.

But you know, they weren't like, I'm just trying to think what they were competing against, like the Holden Zafira, you know, when that was a thing and which which which was the which was Astra based, but like. But like you said, Subaru is

always a niche, right? So there's a certain niche that

they target and it's lower volumes, but they will target that niche. They're very good at doing that,

aren't they? I think so.

Just ask Subaru of America. They'll tell you all about it.

Yeah, I'm, I'm just, I'm just trying to think who like, I think you've, you've nailed on the head rub.

Like families that, that want to, that want something with all drive that, that live in kind of mountainous regions or like, or, you know, travel, travel through the snow a lot.

And they've got, you know, 3-3 or four kids and they're like, well, you know, that's perfect. Perfect.

For us it was before the whole SUV craze.

Yeah, Yeah, that is true. Like, I mean, what was it, an

exagger? What Early 2 Early mid mid

2000s? I didn't see many of them like.

They. They think so because that was

based on like the Gen 5 Liberty, isn't it?

Correct. So yeah, O 7 late O 7 to they

sold, they sold these seizures up until 2018, believe it or not, so that they had about a 10 year run.

Wow. So they kept on going.

Yeah, yeah. So they yeah, we just a weird,

weird car, you know, it was a weird car.

So we only got it in the 2.5 naturally aspirated version, but

overseas got them in a turbo and a few other bits and pieces, but very cool. Yeah, they're only ever

available as an auto, 4 speed auto, 5 speed auto or CVT.

But yeah, very. But yeah, there were, you know,

it's, it was a weird, weird, like I'm just trying to think who would have, who would have, you know, who would have bought that? And I think, I think you've, I

think you've now that, you know, now that Rob, like, I think, you know, they were the only ones that that would have bought it.

Yeah. They would have had roof racks

on it. Oh, absolutely.

Roof box, roof racks or whatever.

Roof racks. Yeah, absolutely.

It would have had a roof box. It would have had, you know, the

skis. It would have had, it would have

had the on the back, on the back window.

My family in the in the stick figures.

Yeah, yeah. So specific, so, OK, well, let's

be a bit more specific. So so we said people that live

in in those ranges that were like, you know, young moms and young dads who's you've had a you've had a quite a few kids and this calf gets my personality, you know, that that that kind of that kind of. The run their own business.

Yes, yes. Very good.

Yes, I'd run their own business and, you know, they're sort of getting into that thing and they can still move some goods, you know, the model in a coffee shop or something like that.

Yeah. Yeah.

Candles. Yeah, Yeah, I was.

Gonna I was gonna say candles is great.

I was going to say like they're craft brewery craft brew, but I was going to say like you've said, candles.

I was going to say crystals. You know, like they, they, they,

they sell with crystals. Yeah.

And, and they, and they, they love it because it's a waggon.

You can fit stuff in the back of it.

You know, that's, and they didn't, they didn't want in one of these SUVs because it hurts the world.

So they're, they, you know, they'll do these big SUVs.

We're buying a waggon. I think we're offending a few

people here. It's just the point of this

topic we're supposed to offend. Meant.

To. That's the point.

So, but yeah, I think, I think they're the people that that bought the that bought that bought it there.

You go. Are you boys all in the grants?

Yeah, yeah. Pretty much.

I think that's that's very accurate.

I like that. Nailed it, Absolutely nailed it.

Well, I've got a few more, but I'll keep them for next time.

Let's get straight into the quiz.

So we've got four players in the quiz this sorry.

Well, sorry 3 because I've I've written Alan's.

We lost one. We did lose 1 Al.

Alan knew. Alan knew the quiz was coming.

Sorry. So he's he's run away.

Yeah. He's because he's a because he's

a coward. He's.

He's not. Here he listens to this.

He's not here to defend himself, so yeah.

That's. What happens?

That's what happens. That isn't that the rule, that

he plays by guys like he's he's. Scotty cops it all the time when

he's not right. He does he, he, he gets, he gets

people, he gets people, you know, copying his voice when, when he's not around. So.

That's why I always make sure I'm on.

You know, I had AI, had a funeral, had to get to, but I can't still go into that funeral.

Just like. Don't get made fun of.

OK. It's funny you think he's

telling a joke, but he's being serious.

Serious. Yeah, no, you.

Don't know that's a good thing about it you.

Never know you. Never know.

So three players, 10 questions, plus the bonus questions.

Let's get into the cards or car quiz question #1 According to a recent survey where owners of vehicles were asked about 227 specific areas in which they can report issues.

What was a surprising issue that people said was a difficult to use on this is on modern cars. General Rob.

Rob. The adaptive cruise control.

Incorrect. That was on the list, but it's

not it's not the the surprising, the surprising pick.

These are surprising pick. Surprising pick that people are

finding more difficult to use in modern cars.

Chad. Chad.

The radio. The good one, but incorrect.

Incorrect. The surprising?

Yeah. So it's surprising.

So like, so radio, you were like, oh, you had like new technologies. Oh, yeah.

That that's yeah. You'd expect that.

You'd expect that. I am gonna say headlights.

Oh, incorrect. It's cupholders, they said.

They said new cars, cup holders with the claws and all the different things. The people find them hard to

use. Yeah, wow, okay as.

A society, we've gone backwards. As a society, we have gone.

I mean, this is what happens when you.

Yeah. There's a hole there, just put

your cup in it mate, Yeah. That's right, cup sized hole for

a cup. The old days in there.

Between your knees and obviously cups too big.

Change the gears at the same time with no cup holders.

Rob. Rob.

That's that's exactly right. Yeah, that's exactly right, Rob.

Eat a full Maccers meal while you drive a driving car on the freeway. Freeway with no cup holders.

No cup holders. And that's just the norm.

And if you die, if you die, you know you die like a man at that point. But also.

But here's the thing too though, right?

Like I guarantee Rob, you never spilt a drop because you were very good. At it.

Very good, very good. Used to be able to rest my drink

on the on the part of the steering wheel too.

Wow, like you're driving? No drink spelling.

No, those chips always fell down.

Into the I'd never know. Look, occasionally there might

be a chip drop when you pull the first fry out.

It's like a plunk. Yeah.

That's how I agree, the amount the amount of second hand cars I've bought when the the crevices just fill with chips it's been unreal and it's like still good you could probably eat it. Dude the abyss between the the

seat and the console it nothing ever comes back.

Back. Back it's it's gone.

Like once it's in there, forget about it.

See you later. That's it.

Once. Once it's in the abyss.

Question #2 Daihatsu. The name Daihatsu is derived

from a Japanese language. Meaning what?

Rob. Rob, I'm.

Just gonna get Diamond. Diamond Incorrect.

Yes, Daihatsu. I had so.

Long. They did, dad Chad.

Is it like? Is it?

Is it like something to do with like simplicity or something?

Incorrect, Scotty. Bad.

I can't. Even have a guess?

It means Osaka engine manufacturer or manufacturer, which is weird. I don't even know why that's.

Osaka engine manufacturer. Yeah, manufacturer.

That's what is what it stands for.

That's weird. OK, very weird question #3 what

famous car manga has had its thirty 30th year anniversary this month got. Initial day.

Initial day there on the board, Scotty.

They say is there more than one car manga that.

There's there's a fair few, but I think it's probably the most most well known one, yeah. It's probably the most common.

Question #4 How many Ford Mustang dark horses were sold in Australia? Called Chad.

Chad. Was it like 499 or something?

Was it a silly number? 499, I'll give closest to 499,

says Chad. Rob.

Rob Says 600. 450. 450. I reckon we got any.

Says Scotty. We got 1000 of them.

So Rob gets the point. We got 1000.

Yep. And they they're not bringing

them in anymore. That was that was it.

Bonus question staying with Ford Mustangs, how much have the standard Mustang models gone up by in price?

Rob. Rob. $5000. $5000 is absolutely

correct, Rob. Well done.

Wow, OK. That's on every model too.

That's that's A and they and they're complaining that that they're not selling them. Like and why did you should have

a bonus question on this one? Why did they put it up?

Because they complain about no. Oh, OK, it's.

Because the emission stand requirements that they need to meet and it doesn't meet the emission requirements, so they have to put the prices up. Really.

OK. That's what I read and it's low

to 5. Grand 5 grand per car to meet.

The requirements? Yep, Yep, close.

Yourself, bonus question, sorry, not bonus question, question #5 how many kilowatts does the current Civic Type R have?

I'll give, I'll give closest to Chad.

Chad. I don't know what. 206 I

believe. 206 is is your answer, but it's not the.

It's not the exact answer. Rob say.

I'll go 204. Rob Says 204.

No, I thought it's more like 2. I'm going to say 244. 244, says

Scotty. The answer is 235.

So Scotty, you're you got the chocolates.

What I'm next question. It's a bonus question, what

colour have they just announced for Australia that's been offered on the Civic Type R on the Civic Type R?

Chad. Chad.

Is it like silver or something? Incorrect.

Scott. Scott.

Yellow. Yellow is incorrect.

I'd love to see a yellow one that'll be epic, but that's incorrect. Mine would be just a guess to be

orange. Orange is incorrect blue.

They've offered, they've offered that that really nice blue again, which is which is. Cool, sounds a nice blue.

Which is can you? Can you believe it?

Australia was the only market in the world where they offered the civic type art in and not in that colour.

Wow so weird it's dumb like I guess all we all we buy is silver and black and white cars so kind of makes sense I guess.

Well, my mom's spewing because she wanted a blue 1.

So like, she's, she's really, yeah, she's she's spewing.

But anyway, that's that's yeah, moving on, question number six, the Mazda 66 when the wheels carry the year gong how many times? Rob Rob 3.

Incorrect Scott. Scott Twice.

Twice is correct. Got to get one at twice.

Question #7 Which Australian car had a claim of having 30 interior storage areas? Rob.

Rob. The AU Falcon.

The AU Falcon is incorrect if if it did, I mean it'd just be another thing that the AU does does better than anything.

Else that's what I thought, yeah.

Yeah, 30 storage areas in in the car that was that was that was one of the big selling points. Probably, you know, yeah.

Scotty and Chad. That was an Australian built

car, or just a little? Australian built car.

Not many to choose from so. Scott, Scotty.

Scotty. Magna.

Magna's incorrect Chad. Chad, is it the full territory?

Full territory is absolutely correct.

Yeah, Chad, that was my second. Bonus question, what did it have

under the driver's seat? Oh, Chad, Chad, I'd like a pull

out drawer, didn't it? Yeah, I'll pay that.

It was a pull out like lock box, like safe kind of thing.

Yeah, I'll pay that. I'll give you.

That's where it kept all the extra CV joints and stuff.

Correct. Yeah, extra ball.

Spare parts. Extra ball joints when needed

to, reinstalled when when needed.

Score check chat on 2, Rob 2. Scotty on three.

Anybody's game guys still with a few questions to go.

Question #8 Nissan's last attempt at a triple S Pulsar had an engine. Size of what?

Add Chad. 1.6 I believe. That is absolutely correct. 1.6

litre turbo. Done.

I was going to say 1.8. Question #9 Which of the

following colours did not appear on the VE Commodore?

I just felt like Maury Povich. You were not the father.

So which of the colours did not appear on the VE Commodore?

Heron White, Phantom Black Red Hot Nickel.

Ignition, Morpheus, Atomic Crunch, Pulse and Vespas.

There's a crap tonne to think about.

That is a lot. I was expecting more people.

On the show, Throw it out there, Vespas.

Vespas is incorrect. I'll give you guys 2 guesses

each, but like, you're gonna have one guess and you go around, go around again. So Scotty and Chad.

Heron, Heron White. Heron White is incorrect, so

Vespas and Heron White are out. Chad, was it crunch?

Crunch is incorrect, so you guys are all back in.

Rub. Pulse rub.

Pulse is correct, Rob. Well done.

Yay. Pulse.

Pulse orange is a is a Audi colour.

OK, next question is a brochure question.

This is the final question, Question 10.

So just. Just.

Just letting you know guys, this is oh, scores are tied.

Chad, Scotty and Rob are all on three apiece.

So this is it is a tight, tight it is.

Like the tiebreaker? It it's quite literally the

tiebreaker. And what's the chances that of

you are going to get it, that says it was a possibility.

We're like that. I know.

All right, let's get into it. Just sculled down the thinking

juice. Is it ready?

I'm ready to go all. Right, let's go.

So can you remember the first time?

Is the is the the name the the headline?

The first time you discovered a road that become more than just a ribbon of asphalt linking A to B.

The first time you discovered driving delight.

A time when sports cars were sleek, sophisticated, and yes, sexy. A time when your car perfectly

reflected your lifestyle. It takes a special car maker to

capture those moments. Great sports cars are part art

part science and part that in in the definable moment when corners begin to flow to develop their own rhythm when driving matters more than anything else. So that's a whole bunch of

corporate wank. But anyway the blank blank is

all about capturing the moment. A2 seat, mid engine, rear wheel

drive sports car. Pure in design and intent.

Free revving engines with up to 118 kilowatts at your disposal.

Precision handling, a magic feeling of intimacy with the road. A car that fits you like a

glove, rewards you like a friend and sums up your attitude to life. Free spirited individual,

distinctive and unashamedly cool.

Of course you can remember that in the first name.

You can remember the first name every time you drive.

What Scott? Scotland, I'm going to say is it

a Toyota MR2? It isn't a Toyota MR2.

Good guess though. Mid engine 2 seater.

But it's incorrect. Chad was in there next.

I'm going Lotus Elise. Lotus Elise is incorrect.

Rob, is it a Pontiac Fiero? Pontiac Fiero is incorrect.

You guys are all back in because this is the time question.

So you're all back in this is this is sold in Australia from the 90s to the 2000s. Right.

OK, I. Think I know that's against.

I couldn't get who you just got in there.

You all belt buzzed at the same time.

Maybe Rob was first. I think, I think Rob was

guessing when I was explaining the the next bit.

So I'll give you, I'll give it to you first, Rob, you got first dibs. No, I've got no idea.

No. Scotty was next.

I think I heard Scotty. Mazda MX5.

MX5 is not a mid engine cars What?

Oh yeah, what am I thinking? It's.

It's it's. Technical.

It's front mid, but it's not mid.

Cherry, that's what I was thinking until you said mid engine. I was like, OK, yeah, ongoing.

And look, I'm not 100% sure these were Australian delivered, but and the second part is I don't know the actual model, but I know the maker, it's the MG. F thingy.

Yeah, I'll give it to you. MG it is.

There you go. There you go.

Chad. Yeah.

MGTF or MGF? TFTF, Yeah.

Wow. So TF was the target, right?

No TF was the update? Was the update like it was MGF

then they went to MGTF but it's the same it's the.

Same. Yeah, yeah.

There was a short run on that wasn't.

They they saw, they saw them in Australia for quite a while, but they all blew head gaskets because the K series engine in those blew head gaskets. So they didn't really last very

long. Have you ever, have you ever

seen the head studs in one of those cars?

So normal. So normal head studs are like

what that long like, you know, like a hand length.

These went from the top of the head all the way into the depth of the block. They were like.

Whoa. Probably like over half a metre

long, like they were huge. What Was there any sense to it?

Yeah, the sense was England, England engineering.

in those cars at that particular point in time, and I would have been probably old enough to no. When they were new, no.

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

You don't know. Stuff that's stuck in my head.

Stuck in your head. OK, yeah, OK.

It's. Just like, I don't know whether

it's just browsing Wikipedia or like, or just, you know, just small knowledge that's stuck in my mind.

Yeah, there's there's like a part of the brain that's reserved just for car knowledge, I believe.

Yeah, Yeah. Especially with us. 100%.

Yeah, I think my son's a bit like that with all the exotic cars. He knows every one of them.

Model, every engine, you name it.

Yeah, crazy. Yeah, he just.

Yeah, he knows all of them. My wife calls it autism, but

anyway that's that's. You're on the spectrum.

You're on the spectrum. That's all it's.

All right, we're all on that. That's why, that's why.

That's why it's a spectrum, gentlemen.

We're all, we're all in there somewhere.

Yeah, I think that's a podcast, gentlemen.

Let's do some plugs. Scotty's golf tip of the week.

Chipping. Chipping OK, so when?

You're around when you're around the green like it's, it's scary because a lot of the times when you're chipping, you'll top the ball and it will shoot an absolute mile.

And then if you've got that stuck in your head, so then you try and chip it small and what happens, it goes about two centimetres in front of you and you stuff it up again.

So before you chip it, just go next to the ball and swing club like you're putting and you're just skimming the grass and then go and get it perfect every time.

There you go. That's a that's a great one.

I'm gonna use that one. Rob's fabrications, mechanical.

He just he just laughed at me. But but yeah, it was.
