Good. Welcome back.

(01:09):
You know, I actually had a listener of the show say, oh,
how's Patrick going? I'm like, he's a busy man,
Patrick, these days. So you do get noticed, Patrick.
I'm not gonna like, there's 100%the truth.
You do get noticed on this show when a regular listener asks
about. Yeah, that's a that's all you
need to know. We're also joined by Rob Zadai.

(01:30):
How are you Rob, who's just joined us?
Now good. Thank you.
How are we? Good mate.
Just letting you know that thereis a there is a Mustang behind

Very. Nice, might get run over.
Yeah, oh alum. And there's and we're also
joined by Alumdeep Singh, who seems to be at work still.
I'm technically at work. I'm at the airport in Brisbane.
Oh yeah, heading. Back to Mackay.

(01:51):
Oh, heading to Mackay, OK. Heading to Mackay.
Would that be? 2025 degrees 26° up there.
Yeah, so I'll take the hoodie off as soon as I got I was.
Gonna say he's still in a hoodie.
Yeah, You're looking very Melbourne, mate.
You'll be picked out straight away when you get to Mackay.
Well, don't. Worry I'll take it off before I
get off. The plane it's good to good to

(02:12):
see you guys. Thanks for dropping on again.
You know, let's get in with somecar updates.
Patrick, we haven't seen you in a while.
Let's start with you with the with your car updates, man, you
got that? You got that S Jesse yet or
what? No.
Not yet, not yet. Working towards it, getting
closer, getting closer to it, but our updates, not much
actually. For a while actually, the the
Hallux was out of Commission. Yeah, it was.

(02:35):
It got hit on the side, you know, packed on the side of the
street, didn't it? Yeah, it was, but but I I did
get that back. It was all all checked out.
I'd re overhauled the suspensionall that.
But probably like not even a month later after getting back
to vehicle, I ran into an issue where the car would just
essentially just cut power, go into lip mode and just stole

(02:56):
just lose fuel pressure. So I said we first thing we
suspect and we want to rule out first was the fuel pump because
obviously it's the most expensive thing on those to
replace bar it was final. So it was a little restarting
priming was all good. I went through a rabbit hole
with this crank angle sensors, You know, I checked the injector

(03:17):
duty cycle on it. What else will we replace?
There's another sensor we replaced as well.
I can't remember what it was. Fuel, sorry, fuel pressure
regulator we replaced as well. And we turned out just for one
last essentially how merry attempt.
We just, I went and picked up aspretty much a reconditioned fuel
rail and yeah, that that was theissue.

(03:40):
So apparently my fuel rail old one essentially bit the dust and
since then the car's been running phenomenal.
It's going strong. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll
put a canopy on it to set that up, put truck some roof racks on
it, get a more suited for work and whatnot.
But yeah, it's, it's, it's goinggood.

(04:01):
Like I've, I've got no issues with it.
My younger brother be be irrelevant, but obviously he's
got a, he bought my other brother's Sporteo Sporteo off
him and he got a bit of an A wreck.
I was reversing out the drivewayand he got collected by one of
the school buses. Yeah.
So luckily the only damage she copped was the RE tailgate and

(04:24):
the bar and we've literally found a wrecking same colour
black Sportivo where we could. We picked up the tailgate and
the rear bar for 250 bucks, so it's a win.
So we got that sorted. So the TiVo leaves again.
TiVo leaves again, mate, she's not there just yet, Not there
just yet, but she's going good. She's.

(04:46):
Going. Well, I remember I'm, I'm not
sure if you guys know, but I know I, I sent Matt my, my, my
dad's old mate, one of my dad's great friends.
He's got a one on 8 Cosworth. He's brought back into the shop.
It's sick, it's sick. And after you've, I remember
being seven years old in that car and seeing the same cut in
the exact same state as he left,all from Germany.

(05:10):
New fuel pump got a new clutch and flywheel.
What else do we do on it? The I think something new new
new ignition system in it as well.
It had a fair bit of work done, but I took it actually the other
week I took it for one pass my dad's shot, but I took it for a
spin for the first time mate. What a car, what a car.

(05:33):
The sound of it, the engine, thejust starting in, it's weird
with the dog leg starting in second.
But yeah it's sick car. But yeah besides that I mean
nothing really new, still obviously working towards as
chassis and my mate just picked up a turbo charged GT86.

(05:54):
Man, those things are weapons. Yeah, but the.
New I need 270 kilowatts at the at the rear wheels man EE
chirps. It's fun, so yeah, no, But
besides that, yeah, everything'sgoing good luck's still still
going strong. And yeah, we're still on the
hunt, so. Yeah, man nice.
Well, it's it's this is good. This is really good.
This is good to say good to goodto see your your likes is back

(06:16):
on track. I I need to see it with with all
with it's all new suspension that that's.
Something oh mate, it's it's funny because it's an old car
with over 300,000 so the rest ofthe car pretty much shows it's
age and then you look underneathit and it's just bright yellow
and blue, but it drives great. You know, it, it's, it's just
this is a testament to, you know, Toyota's engineers back in

(06:37):
the day, just how much they justin the whole drivetrain and they
really over engineer everything,just make everything last.
And you literally just overhaul the suspension, CVS, ball
joints, bushes, everything. It's just it drives better than
factor, I'd say. So it's a great car and
hopefully it will last me another 300,000.
So yeah, see what we get there. 100% looks tough.

(06:58):
Absolutely. David Prince updates with.
You updates with me beautiful weekend for a drive.
So I did get the little orange car out and do my Nurburg, no,
my Melbourg ring on Sunday just to charge up the battery down
the freeway back out through sort of off at Ringwood there
and out through North Ringwood, Warrandyte, that sort of thing

(07:21):
nice little loop, lots of nice cars out on the road.
I was in the traffic today with in in two rack Rd so there's two
lanes going each way and there was a lot of traffic this
morning but I found myself next to a lovely AW11MR2 on full
Ridge, windows down, pop up, headlights up and he just gave

(07:45):
me a big thumbs up. He was, he was pretty chopped.
I think someone but I I haven't sent the photo through.
I must send the photo through toyou later.
But my goodness, they stand out on the road, like with amongst
them, the sea of SUVs, you know,driving through Camberwell.
Just one second, David. So you got to go.
Yeah, you're. You're that's what I'll head off

(08:05):
and go through cinnamon. Good to see you, man.
Yeah, please let us know. See you, mate.
So yeah, David, you're saying they stand out a little bit?
They certainly stand out on the road, like just so Wedgie and he
had the appropriate 80s music coming out of the the stereo.

(08:26):
That's very cool. You just have to do that.
Like that? Oh yeah.
It's just you just have to. Yeah, yeah, it's just great.
I mean, it bought back Eurovision memories from
Liverpool. And what was the band?
I can't remember the band. They're what are they called?
They're. Great band, guys, if you're
listening. Great band, yeah.
They're yeah, they are. Yeah, they're from, they're from

(08:46):
Perth. Yeah, yeah, it'll come to me.
It'll come to me. Yeah, we'll.
Circle back. Circle back, oh sort of pop up
headlights, nice little Segway. I think I own the cord that was
in my neighbour's garage for 6 to 20 years, not being driven or

(09:08):
and we pump the tyres up and they've stayed pumped up
interestingly. So, you know, might as well just
rob some plates on and driving Ireckon.
I'm upset. No, no, it'll be, it'll be
pushed out of the garage and I think total way just to make
sure that it's and checked over properly before it gets started.
Yeah, I was speaking to you about that car last night, I
think. Yeah, I think don't put the

(09:29):
ignition on because it'll prime the fuel pump if it still works
and it'll just put all that old fuel through the car and might
be in a bit of struck so I can clean the tank.
Yeah. And then then go from.
There, that's a really good idea.
You suggest to taking the fuel pump fuse out?
Yeah. Yeah, the relay.
Fuse yeah. So I think I'll do that just
anyway with, without trying to start it anyway, just so no one

(09:51):
else tries to start it or or prime it.
That makes perfect sense. By the way, it's Voyages, the
brand, the the band Voyager. Voyager.
That's it. That's it.
The Grand Voyager. Oh, and today I, I actually went
through the purchasing experience and took a friend
who's been looking for a new carand we, we bought a new car
today, which was is always exciting.

(10:12):
She said, oh, you must be reallybored of talking about cars all
the time. I said yeah, no, no, I'm quite
happily doing this all the time.So this is a friend of mine who
has had this bought her last newcar in 1985 and that car has
travelled 104,000 KS in that time.
So certainly doesn't do she suddenly doesn't do a lot of KS.

(10:35):
Although who knows, this car might give her the, the, the,
the job she needs to do a bit more adventuring and driving
out. So what are you?
And her last car was manual and she wanted another manual.
So that severely limits what youcan actually buy.
So we actually, we came down to Suzuki Swift, Kia Picanto or a

(10:56):
Hyundai Venue. So she's now the prouder owner
of a new Hyundai Venue, which she absolutely loves.
And I can see why compared to the other two.
So analogue, like just like all,it's almost like 80s tech.
No, sorry, home. That's not, that's that's
overstating it. But you know, it's got a key.
You you, you put the key in the ignition and you turn it, you

(11:19):
know, like all that sort of stuff.
That's unheard of. Yeah, I know, I know.
I was, I was quite surprised. But you know, it's got
everything you need. It's got all safety gear.
It's got the the airbags and stuff.
Which of course she hasn't had been having an 85 model car.
So yeah, she's pretty excited. So that was really good.
It helps when you know, people in the trade.
And she'd actually gone into a dealership the other day and

(11:43):
looked looked at 1:00 and she said I asked for some help.
And, you know, she said they were very busy and they said
they'd come, you know, get back to me.
And no one did. And, you know, she walked out of
the dealership half an hour later and having not not even
sort of sat in one. So I said no, no, no, no.
I said I'll take you, I'll take you to a different dealership.
And I knew a number of people there and they did a brilliant

(12:05):
deal and they're just very kind and, and, you know, explained
everything, no pressure or anything at all.
And I'd actually said, you know,don't buy today.
You know, go home and think about it's a big, big decision
and stuff. So I'm busy saying, you know,
just give us the price and, you know, we'll go and we'll think
about it. And, and she just reached out
and put her hand on my arm and said, actually, I've thought

(12:25):
about it. She said buy it.
But David, it's a manual. So did she have to order that or
is that like or did they have him in the country or?
No, Well, there's none in the country.
There's one on the water. They're going to try and get
that one. I think it's been allocated to
another dealership. Whether it's a special order for
them, it's hard to know, but occasionally dealers will bring

(12:48):
them in. The Kia dealer actually had a
manual Picanto GT, which was that was very cool and they said
no one else has one. We ordered this eight months ago
and they only do them in batches.
They only the the so few are sold in manual, but they
actually like build a batch, youknow, for to fill the orders
once every six months sort of thing on those now.

(13:10):
So they're they're you can stillorder them, but at least you can
still get them. I mean, you know, all the other
manufacturers basically said, no, you're not having one of
those. But even if they've got to order
one especially for it, it'll be October rules not too far out.
Yeah, OK. That's not too.
Bad. Yeah.
So yeah, it was interesting actually going through the
process and and yeah, most of usbuy second hand cars, obviously

(13:34):
because we love our little cheapest things, but yeah, yeah,
yeah. But now the last car she bought
was new, so she didn't see any reason not to buy another new
one so she could afford it. So what?
Was the previous car she had before all these years.
Well, interestingly, it's a 1985Honda Accord.
Three door hatch. Beautiful.

(13:55):
Sorry, Chair, what was that? That's the beautiful car.
Actually, I don't know many of them around anymore.
No, no, it's, it's pretty rare and it's amazing how small they
are compared to I actually triedto get into a Jazz, a manual
Jazz. But like a lot of newer cars,
they had that little corner window at the front, like the,
the A pillar's come down and there's actually another window

(14:17):
sort of at the the base of the Apillar.
And she just found it so hard tosee around, you know, compared
to the, the, the 80 fibre chordslike a fishbowl, you know, like
it just looks like in any direction you, you look over
your shoulder, you can just see everything.
But new cars aren't like that. Obviously for safety, the
pillars are all thicker and stuff like that.
But yeah, this was this was better from that point of view.

(14:39):
That's awesome. All good purchase.
Yeah, great purchase. Like the fact that she's she's
she's what I mean is, is how oldis this lady?
David Prince, if you don't mind.Me asking, she's in her 70s.
OK, well, you know, fair play tous. 70 was still rocket Emmanuel
so. That's what that's what everyone
in the dealership said. Wow, that's great.
You know, fantastic. They weren't that through.

(14:59):
They weren't. They're not that excited that
they keep a supplier than me, but fair, fair acknowledgement
to the people that actually choose them.
Yeah, that's cool. Respect.
I think that's you. That's you have a Prince.
We're also joined by Scotty Doe.How are you, Scotty?
I'm pretty good. How are you?
Very. Good mate, welcome to the show.
Thank you very much. We're going through car updates.

(15:22):
We're up to Rob. Rob updates with you.
I missed a very important phone call this afternoon.
Was this from a dealership aboutyour Sid van?
It was from the manufacturer by my Sid van.
Yes, and I missed them. Oh no, you missed a call.
I missed a call. I missed it.
So it'll be another couple of months before I get another call

(15:43):
or I can get through. I'm not.
For real, why didn't you leave amessage?
You left me a message, you said I'll try to call you back next
week, right? So I don't know.
That's great. Chad, get your uncle on the
phone. I'm gonna well, look, I'll be
there next month so I can, I canyou know what I can.
Why don't I just drop into the manufacturing plant just quick,

(16:04):
please? I might as well at this point.
Excellent idea. I can send you back a whole new
DIF if you like, Yeah. Please, I could maybe a whole
new van because I think they're making better vans now.
Oh, you know, I think they got the assembly process sorted out
now. Oh.
Man, that is so. It's upsetting.
How many kilos of of luggage yougot?

(16:26):
2020, 25 kilos. Yeah, me and my wife bought 25
each and I can purchase the rest.
That's all good. Probably the crown and not that.
Maybe the the spider gears. Not even the crown?
Yeah. Yeah, you get parts of the diff.
The parts of the diff in there. Seals or something?
Yeah, the seals and maybe some bearings.
Yeah, apart from the the missed phone call, not much in my car

(16:50):
world. No, I went and had a look at the
Mercedes, the SEC, he still hasn't done much more work on
it. He started to do high fuel and
Glazer it and the section peeledoff.
I don't know what happened. He must have knocked it or
something like that. So we're going to take him back
down to bare metal on the guardsand redo it again.
Yeah, yeah. But really not really.

(17:11):
Not much is happening with the car front.
Nice. Scotty Go.
No. OK, nothing at.
All moving on, nothing easy. Moving something on to chat Chat
updates with you man. You are now officially a Magna
guy. I'm now a Magna guy.
Yes, it is. It's official.
Thank you David Prince for sending me a nice little

(17:32):
brochure of my yeah, exact same colour and I couldn't tell but
I'm maybe even the interior is the same colour.
Yeah, I, I think it was, I thinkthat did like a blue interior,
isn't it? Yeah, a lot of Smurfs.
Did you pick up ATJ Magna? Earlier.
Earlier TTTS, is it TS? Yeah.

(17:53):
TS-95. Nice.
Yeah. Just a couple of weeks ago now.
Few weeks now, yeah. So what have I done on that?
I what have I done on that? I I I did the head unit well I
got the right wiring loom for itand then put it all in.
Found out that it only has 2 speakers in the in the in the

(18:16):
dashboard. Like you know in the corners of
the dashboard. You've got your left and your
right, I mean. You've got my left and the
right. I actually had to repin the I
had to repin the harness so thatit would like the right speaker
wise would be in the right placebecause it assumes that it has
four speakers and it does not. So so I had to repin it and that

(18:40):
was easy. Just take a couple of eyes out
and put it back into the the ISOplugs.
And yeah, I've got very tinny sounds, but I'm just.
I can help you with. It yeah, I've got to, I've got
to get some little foreign speakers to just, you know, give
it a little extra something because.
Interestingly that the speakers in the dash of those, I think
they're a pain to get out if youcan get them out.

(19:02):
Well, yeah, I I was going to be about to say I pulled one of the
covers off the speaker grills off and it's like 2 like 8 mil
bolts like hex head, not hex head, but just like regular, you
know, like bolts. The one the the one closest to
the windscreen is I don't know how I'm going to get that off to
like buy a special 88 mil likes,you know, ratcheting spanner

(19:27):
with a a bendy head or somethingbecause I have no idea there's.
A lot of clearance. I've got a, I've got a thumb, a
thumb socket. So that's.
Yeah, a thumb rush. Sorry.
It's like, it's like, it's like you know the size of your of
your, your thumb and your fingers put together.
Right. And it's about.
It's about that high and you can, you can put a thing on it
and you can you can turn. It.

(19:48):
Oh, no way. OK, well, that might be that.
Might do it, yeah. That might get you out of
trouble. Yeah, OK.
Yeah, 11 is accessible, the one at the back, but yeah, the one
on the front where the windscreen is, that's definitely
going to need that, I reckon. So, yeah, I've just got to get
some speakers. Thank you, Maddie, in advance.
That's about it. I, I do have the 198 going in to

(20:09):
Rob's Painter to get to get the rest of the the prime primer,
the body sort of ready, you know, get it ready for paint
sort of thing. So I'm dropping that off this
Saturday. The lovely Edward Bunting is
kindly helping me out to, you know, tow the car over there.

(20:29):
So that's going to happen this Saturday.
So I'm just going to work on the190 just sort of like, you know,
clean the parts out of it and whatnot, just a bit more
presentable and it's sort of more ready to drive, charge the
battery and whatnot. And so, yeah, that'll that'll
happen this weekend. Nice.
I think that's about it for me. Yeah.
Yeah. It's, you know, it's kind of
quiet on the car front as well. It's just too cold and wet to do

(20:52):
stuff. How?
How miserable is it? Today it's pretty bad.
Yeah. It's definitely been maybe the
one of the worst days of this winter.
I would completely agree with you.
Can I say, Chad, I'll be awfullypissed off if your car gets
finished before mine. Yeah, so just bear in mind it's
only getting primal. Regardless, mine hasn't even got
primal. I mean, I did tell him I'm not

(21:12):
in a rush. Like I, I said straight outlook.
I'm not in a rush. I'm happy for you to take as
long as you need or whatever. And I know you've got other jobs
before, so. I'll have to start.
I'll, I'll, I'll charge your storage fees mate.
I mean, look, you know, we can work something out, I suppose.
He brings you a diff. You give him bet you give him.
Pass Yeah, yeah, I think, I feellike that's.

(21:33):
That's that's a fair trade. Yeah, no, I did tell him, yeah,
it's quite nice. And I said yeah, just I don't, I
don't, I know there's cars in front of me and whatnot.
So I'm not in a rush at all. So.
He's actually picked up a few jobs.
He's doing a E type Jag. Yeah, I saw that, yeah.
And he's also. Metal.
Back to metal. Thing, yeah.
And also an X or an XC Falcon, Yes.

So he's doing that up, Yeah. He's done a lot of 86's and a
lot of CRV's. He does a lot of JDM stuff, a
lot of JDM. He's getting pretty good at
matching the colours on the bumper bars now and doing all
that sort of stuff because he's great repairing any broken
plastics on bumper bars. That's awesome, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, real good. And you mentioned it.

(22:19):
You mentioned it. Yeah, Yeah.
So that's the 190? Yeah, that's all from me.

For the part for the. Part and then I think it was the
part and the yeah, I think I think it wanted to be in the

part and installed, but, and I was like yeah, Nah, because
that's pretty much half the price of the car.
So I was like yeah, Nah. So I, I went to work work.
Couldn't get on through work. See our supplier couldn't get
them. I called our supplier directly,
our suppliers like, yeah, they, they're obsolete.
We don't do them anymore. Caught a few other places,

(24:30):
looked online. The only other one that's online
that was on eBay, it was $9999 and I'm like that is.
As as it would be. They said sold 15 of them.
I I don't know who who the 15. Wow.
I I I would send that in the group chat that it was.
I bought them during COVID, theywere gonna profit here from
that. Yeah, correct.
Yeah, yeah, COVID tax. So I always look at Rock Auto as

(24:55):
per David's recommendations. With the Rock Auto, they had one
left in stock and delivered to my door from the states in what
four days was 280 bucks? Wow, that's incredible to my
door. Including delivery, so.
That is wild. So yeah, I know.
So I dropped that off to 1 DavidPrince last night and then he

(25:16):
had some, he had some coolant. So so thank you, David for for
chipping in for that. Drop that off to the mechanic.
He's fixed the exhaust. The exhaust is fixed.
So it's now quiet as as an old man's car should be.
So this is this is a Camry V6, Patrick, but by the way, so it
should be, you know, it should be quiet, but it should also RIP
because Camry V6 is like. They do RIP they do.

(25:38):
That's what my one of my mates had one with and it was his old
Nondas car as well. Hand me down and granted, he did
the typical P play thing. He cut off the muffler, he
dropped his whatever so it it sounded shit and he was
obnoxiously loud. But when you put your foot down,
I don't know whether it was likea placebo effect or something
with a loud noise, but man, thatthing would would pull.

(26:00):
And you look, I look at him, I look at the car, look at the
speed. I'm like, is, is this really
happening? Like?
This. Car.
Now they're sick cars, man. And they go and they're just.
So everything about them is justperfect.
Simple, basic. Nothing goes wrong with no
electronics on a break. They just run.
You look after it, you'll look after you.
Yeah. It's a Toyota, man.

(26:21):
That's what they're that's what they're good for.
Straight out. So that is that is to be to be
put. Well, I think they might have
put it in today. Hopefully they've like they'll
talk, they'll talk to me the other day about putting it in
early this week. So hopefully we can drive that
home at some point soon. Which?
Which would be nice laser. So how this weird noise coming
from the from the back at like acertain residence.

(26:42):
And then I asked David Prince tohelp me last night when I when I
was dropping the thing, I was like, can you just hop in the
car? It seems not just me.
And then it's guess what, as soon as the OPS in the car, the
noise stops. Of course.
So as soon as you hopped out of the car, I drove off, the noise
came back. So I got, I drove down to a
service station and I just cracked it.
So I just pulled the whole back panel off the back of the back
of the the. The tailgate.
Tailgate the noise gone. I'm like, OK, so it was it was

(27:05):
it was just rubbing. So I then I then pull over at
the at the at a McDonald's. That was that was the further up
the road reattach. I put I put put some of the
clips off and then kind of like I used my screwdriver head in
the car and just just pried him open a bit, put it back on quiet
as so I said that was that was an easy fix.
Nice. But I, as you guys know, had my

(27:25):
gearbox done in the car recentlyand I haven't been super happy
with it. It's been getting noisy, it's
been getting louder. So and I thought on that maybe
it's just tight because it's a new gearbox.
Maybe it's it just needs you know, and it needs a bit more
time to, you know, to get right.But it feels it feels like it's
getting noisier right now. When he put it in said he's
like, I'm not really happy with the gearbox.

(27:48):
He's like I've test driven it for the last few days.
He's like it just doesn't seem OK, but he's like drive it, see
how you go. Now it's starting to crunch and
going into first gear. So I was like, that's not good
because I spent a decent amount of money getting that, getting
that built. So I called the place today and
I'm like, hi, you know, I got mygearbox from you guys fixed, you

(28:10):
know, a few a few months ago. He's like, Oh yeah, the guy I
could could hardly get any bits for.
I'm like, yeah, that's me. And I explained to him the
situation. He's like, yeah, shouldn't be
doing that. Bring it in next week and we'll
take a free test drive and and we'll, we'll see what we can do.
So he's like, that should be, itshould be whisper quiet.
You should be able to hear it. So good to know that it's not
just me. And because my mom drove it the

(28:31):
other day and she mentioned it to me as well.
She's like, is your car right? Like is the gearbox?
I'm not like no, it's I just I don't think it's, I don't think
it's 100%. So I explained to him, I put a
new clutch in it and everything and it's, you know, it's pretty
much fresh. So he's like, Yep, bring it in.
We'll we'll have a look. So that'll that'll happen at
some point next week. But in terms of my other car,

(28:51):
that's I gave the Fiesta and theTyphoon a bit of a detail clean
both of those. And I think, yeah, I think
that's pretty much it on my end,gentlemen.
Now tonight's topic guys is we're taking questions from our
from our listeners of the podcast and the show.
I put some stuff up on online, but David Prince just just sent

(29:12):
me a picture of that MR2, which actually looks really, really
cool. Awesome.
Yeah, that's like the white wheels too, that that's pretty
cool. And.
On full. Ridge too, yeah.
Yeah, full Ridge. It's got it's got the same
exhaust as me. The the the single.
Pipeline. Oh yeah, nice.
That's that's an Aussie delivered cartoon, David looks
like it looks to. Me.
Yes, I thought so. Yep.

(29:33):
So and it's a it's got a sunroof, that one.
Yeah, really cool. So we got our our listeners to
ask us some questions. First one is from Nicholas.
He asks with no Australian car manufacturing to protect, should
we relax our import rules? Good question.
What do you think, gentlemen? Ask question.

(29:53):
Next question. We're being ripped.
I'm presuming he's meaning the luxury car tax.
Yeah. So any tax.
Yeah. All tax.
Does he also mean, like, being able to import cars a bit
easier, you know, making making it more accessible for people
and having less restrictions on what sort of vehicles you can
about? Yeah.

(30:15):
I think he's, I think he was trying to say like we should be
more kind of like NZ where they're just like you can bring
whatever you want over the board.
It's like not put a wall up likein, in America, you can, you can
let it, let it all in. You know, that that's so I think
that's what Moy is trying to sayin terms of because we don't
have anything to protect. Like, you know, why can't we,

(30:35):
you know, get cars from overseasand now and, and I get that.
And, and I think that that's an important point because for
example, like, like to buy a Jagin, let's just say in the UK,
the same model Jag in Australia is phenomenally more expensive,
you know, like for the same specand everything.
So, you know, some people were like, well, why would I do that?

(30:56):
You know, that's like, you mightlose your factory warranty or,
or what have you. But like, that's, I get that how
that makes sense. Like they, they want to get the
best price. They still want the car and
they, they want, and I guess I'dmake dealerships more
competitive and you know, XYZ. But again, I think that another
issue too is we've got so many car manufacturers in Australia
at the moment anyway. So, so that's, that's a, you

(31:19):
know, that's kind of like the catch, like, well, why would you
want anymore? We've got, we've got, we've got
1000 Chinese brands here now. So, you know, take your pick.
Yeah. What do you, what do you think,
gentlemen? That's that's do you think they
should relax the laws, you know,completely or, or do you think
there should be like a, you know, better come as a, a middle
ground? I think they should relax them

(31:40):
like. Yeah.
Since you don't have the Australian market that's, you
know, battling against any of foreign, you know, companies
like it's a sad to say it's all gone.
So like there's there's no pointin having such no high like high
walls and like tight security ortax, whatever.
Just let it out, let you know you give give the average
consumer more options to buy, more affordable options to buy

(32:02):
as well. So just yeah, I think just I
reckon just drop him. I don't know how he works in the
political world. So with everything else but I
don't see any reason why I need to be so tight on at least.
I've got a thought here is that if you if they allow people to
import cars, it might drive somemore competition for the local
importers to sell the cars at a more competitive price.

(32:23):
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. Yeah.
The only thing is, I mean, they don't have to provide a warranty
to cars that people bring in from overseas.
The advantage of buying a if you.
Yeah, if it's a matter of savingthousands of dollars, I suppose
people would have to weigh it up.
But. But one of the advantages of

(32:44):
buying an Australian delivered car is that that it's covered by
warranty if it's a newer car, Ifit's an older car that's not
covered by warranty, sort of allbets are off, really.
Yeah. But yeah, the Department of
Infrastructure have really opened it up a lot in the last
few years. Sort of 2019, they sort of
changed the rules and they're still playing with them all the
time. But, and if you get a chance,

(33:05):
it's it's worth having a look onthe says register and see what
is eligible to import. I mean, there's, there's a lot
of cars on there now that you can bring in from overseas.
There are four different categories that they that you
can bring them in. Basically, there's a performance
category, there's a rarity category, there's a

(33:26):
environmental category and there's a welfare category.
So if it's a high performance car, there, there is a ratio of
of kilowatts or no, it's kilowatts per weight or
something. Anyway, if, if, if it's a high
performance car, it could well be on the list already.
The environmental obviously allows you to bring K cars in

(33:47):
now and a lot of K tracks on theroad now.
You know, I'm seeing them everyday now, but anything also
anything electric and hybrid. So a lot of cars that were were
sold you here that you could never get the hybrid version.
A lot of them are coming in now as hybrids, as grey imports.
So they have opened it up and obviously anything over 25 years
old you can bring in pretty unrestrictedly now, pretty much

(34:10):
whatever you want. So it has opened it up a bit.
If I was looking at new cars though, I don't think I'd want
to. I don't think I'd want to go
through the palava of importing something that's not covered by
warranty. Yeah, if it's if it's nearly
new, that's. The Then again, how how good is
the warranty? Well, it's better to have one on
than not on a on a on a relatively new car, I'd say.

(34:34):
Transit van. Yeah, case in point, yeah.
I think from what I've seen, like there's a lot of importers
just importing, you know, like hybrid Jazzes and all fits as
they call it in, in, you know, in, in Japan and stuff.
And like they're bringing them in under that, under that kind
of rule and, and that and they're quite popular.

(34:55):
Like I'm seeing a lot, I'm seeing so many hybrids or
electric versions or, you know, unique versions or specs of cars
that we didn't get in the still with like the Japanese stickers
and stuff on them. Oh, that's a, that's a Japanese
one. And, and they've got like on
their licence plate, you know, on the, like the, the, what's it
called, the plate frames. Blue triangle.
Yeah, the blue triangle and yeah, also on the plate frames.
Is this that, you know, the important that's bringing them

(35:16):
in and selling them. Yeah.
And like for those yeah, I get like that like that that's cool.
And that's that's actually that's actually, you know,
really good to have. But with with the with how Japan
is for example, like they're a right hand drive market.
They get, you know, left hand drive cars there too.
Does that could that open the floodgates for some left hand
drive cars? So like some American cars or

(35:37):
some some other European cars that we don't get, that'd be
kind of cool to have too, so. It's alright for how many 80 odd
million people in Japan? Yeah, yeah, it's not all right
for us. Yeah.
You know, it's, you know, we're a basket case of a country when
it comes to that sort of stuff. Yeah.
We're not flexible. There's too much red tape.

(36:00):
There's too many things, too many hurdles to jump.
Yeah, you. Know, and as we've said before
on the podcast, the the market is just a drop in the ocean for
most of the big manufacturers anyway.
It's it's almost a, a, it's moreof a problem usually to build
cars for the Australian market. And.
When the markets are small and getting smaller for each,

(36:23):
everybody's market share is justgoing to shrink as more and more
brands come in, from China especially.
It's just amazing. Even back in the old days when I
had the 116 import album, I've had two import Mercedes and the
the car I got from Singapore wasan absolute nightmare to get on
the road and it's a right hand drive car already and I still
couldn't get it on the road dude.

(36:43):
Why was that the case? Was that because like?
It had to be ADR compliant, seatbelts, ADR windscreen, ADR
crash protection like the sidebar intrusion bars have to
be there. They have to check all that.
There's a whole lot of things that I have to go through and
jump hurdles to jump through, and even then I wouldn't have
been able to register it unless I actually registered as a

(37:05):
personal import. Really.
Yeah, OK. That was back in the 80s.
Yeah, I mean, the seatbelts had to be like 5 millimetres wider
or something. Yeah, wider, I mean the safest.
Were building the safest cars inthe world, Australia had to had
the seatbelts. Had to be better.

(37:25):
Yeah, I mean a lot of that stuff's now not, not an issue.
It's it's, it's standardised in internationally, which is good.
And they have done a bit of that, haven't they?
The ADR rules have aligned with Euro and Japanese design, so
there's less hurdles to jump. One of the best things was the

(37:45):
the ISO fix seat anchorage points because for a long time
the problem of getting cars intoAustralia was the seat belt of
the child safety restraints, which is not a thing in other
countries or like so many other countries around the world never
even had them. And so any, any imported car or
any car sold new had to have them engineered into them for
the Australian market or any import that came in actually had

(38:07):
to have them fitted by an engineer.
And that that ran into a lot of money.
Even if you weren't using them. If you said I, I don't have
kids, I don't want kids, you know, like the car still had to
have them to be registered. Yeah.
Did does? Does your N1 have isofix?
Isofix, Yeah. Yeah.
So, so, so that that's totally fine.
And that was. That's right.
That's right. That was one of the things that

(38:29):
the question marks when I boughtthe first one in was whether or
not how that would go. Because they've got to have an
upper tether anchorage for the for the straps as well.
But they're in the back of the back of the seat so that the
straps just come over the top ofthe back seat into the back of
the back. Yeah.
David, you weren't just saying last time that some cars are A5
seater, but you can only register them as a four seater
or something like that? Yeah.

(38:49):
Yeah, that that happened. Yeah, well Honda didn't engineer
the HRV. The current HRV is A5 seater for
Australia and. Was that just because of the ISO
fixed point? It was something to do with the
centre seat belt. But because of the market so
small in Australia, they didn't,they didn't want to make the

(39:11):
change in that car because then they would have had.
So I think we're probably the only market in the world that
has four seater HIVS. I think every other market in
the world only because they thought well we'll just leave it
out of the Australian cars because then we don't have to
make it a 5 seater. You know we just registered as 4
seaters. You know what's interesting
about that, David? Like my wife has one and it's

(39:31):
weird because it doesn't feel like A5 seater that was just
made into a four seater. They've actually remoulded the
entire rear seat area to become to feel like a four seater.
Which 4 seater? Which for me makes no sense.
They've had to engineer that. They've had to engineer it
anyway, so it's like why wasn't it just be able to?
I mean maybe it was just a cost analysis that they they did and

(39:53):
they were like maybe it's just cheaper to mould a new seat
rather than create a harness system for 1/5.
Seat, sorry, 1/5 compliant seat belt or something so maybe
that's why but yeah, they they still have to do work so it's
just weird. I mean again, it's like the
question of why isn't it safe enough everywhere else?

(40:14):
Sorry, why is it safe everywhereelse and not safe enough for
Australia? Like, we're not sure why we're
so special about it, like. I'm glad we've got stringent
safety rules like that. That's important, but when the
rest of the world are way ahead of us in terms of safety
technology and. Stuff.
Yeah, exactly. And they deem it fine.
Why don't we? That for me makes no sense.

(40:35):
And back in the days of Australian manufacturing, I
think maybe it would have been adifferent discussion of, you
know, we have our own rules because we have different
standards. We.
Manufacture as. A matter of fact.
So we've manufactured certain standards.
So therefore, if we, you know, if we don't, if we bend the
rules, then why do we have our have our own rules, whatnot, but

(40:57):
we don't have that anymore. So well, yeah, just it doesn't
make sense in that sense. So I think we should be allowed
to import, you know, a car everytwo years to our locking left
hand drive, right hand driver doesn't matter.
But you can't sell. It's going to Yeah, if it's made
elsewhere in the world from a a major manufacturer, it should be

(41:19):
safe enough for you can. Can, can you, can you go into,
you know, into Parliament? I'll vote.
I'll vote for. You.
Yeah, Rob's prime ministers. I keep on doing.
A job. Now I keep on saying every car
should be registered but why does the car need to be TAC
insured for your injury or someone else's injury?

(41:41):
When you're the driver and you're injuring someone else
that that should come with you. So no matter which car you hop
into you should be insured, not the car.
So therefore you should be able to register 5 or 6 cars for a
minimal cost but self insure yourself for like indemnity
liability. TAC save the country, save

(42:02):
people of fortune. But the country, the Victorian
government won't like that because you'll save too much
money. Vote one wrong, yeah?
There was a guy actually in Gibson, wasn't he?
He started his own car party or something.
He he done real well. Yeah, the did.
He sold out. The Motoring Enthusiast Party.
Yeah, you got my vote. Yeah, you got my vote.

(42:25):
And then he sold out. Why not?
Yeah, you got 2. So.
Rob, have you got any left hand drive cars?
No, no, no. Have you had have you had them
over here before? No no I haven't.
No no my my friend has. He bought 4 Mustangs back from
the US or left hand drive and back then when he brought them
back he had to get them converted because they wouldn't
let him register it as a right hand drive car.

(42:46):
Yeah. So he couldn't get it converted
here in Victoria, it's too hard.So he moved up to Queensland for
a couple of years and converted two of them over there in
Queensland because it was easierto get him registered and
converted in QLD. So, so he, he took him to, he
took him to Queensland and got it and got it, got him converted
there or. He did no, he so he's he's a
he's a mechanic, but he's more he's more of an engineer.

(43:08):
He's very switched on guy. So he actually done all the
conversion himself and got it engineered over there.
He actually converted AVH Commodore with a 253 in it and
put a 327 share in it and it looked like it come from factory
that was and he done that back in the like in the early 90s.

(43:28):
Yeah, well. You know, very clever liking
mechanically. He's a diesel engineer, a diesel
mechanic. But yeah, anything he touches,
he does a great job. But so.
Was there already an Australian version?
No, no. So he lived in California for
about 7 or 8 years and he was picking up Mustangs there for
1500, two $1000 putting him away.

(43:50):
So he just packed them all in the container when he got kicked
out of the country and and he brought him back.
He brought back his Trans Am as well.
He's got a Knight Rider Trans Am.
Yeah, it's just sitting there. So you converted two of them.
He actually, to save money, he couldn't get the high roof
container, so he actually chopped the roof off 2 of them.

(44:11):
All right, Yeah. So that those two he turned in,
he bought the convertible conversion kits in the US, all
right, and turned them into convertibles.
That's one way to go around. Yeah.
Yeah, so and he done a real goodjob of that.
You couldn't tell it was a conversion to a from a coop to a
convertible. Well, really good.
Yeah. Yeah.

(44:32):
So he done a very good job. I think he sold one for pretty
good money and then he's still got the other three there.
You. Go, Yeah.
So yeah. But there's definitely those
days are gone too, because now you can't even bring a car in
without tearing it right down. Getting a certificate saying
it's all clear of asbestos scenario.
Every other contaminant in the world, you know, they have to be

(44:55):
thoroughly cleaned and sterilised before you even think
about putting them on a boat or else you'll never get your car.
It becomes a nightmare. And that's another problem with
second hand cars too. If they're not cleaned and
sterile, you're going to be up for a lot of money whilst that's
being held and cleaned and sterilised.
I mean, I think that happens anyway with most, most imported

(45:17):
cars. They have to go through a
quarantine check and clean if necessary anyway, even brand new
ones, because new cars that may be manufactured somewhere in
close to an agricultural area overseas when they get here.
Yeah, even if it's brand new because they're passing through,
you know, areas the way they maybe animals, other plants and,

(45:40):
you know, like anything can get stuck on the car and then
survive the trip over. And then quarantine has to be
like, no, we have to make sure nothing is, there's no
contaminants. Yeah, there was, There was a
ship full of Mustangs I believe held up on offshore for months
because at some sort of infestation of bugs of some sort
or? Something probably stink bugs.

(46:02):
Yeah, and they had to, yeah, sterilise the whole ship and do
whatever they needed to do before they even load it onto
Yeah, they. Literally fumigate the ship on
the water and then once it's like being tested and clear then
they can come into port. That's why, yeah, it's crazy.
Every few years it's they seem to run into trouble with it.

(46:25):
So not as easy to import and if you do a personal import and
things that go South it starts costing you a lot of money.
Another friend of mine tried to import 2 motor homes from the US
and one of them was too wide toolong.
So you have to you couldn't bring it back.

(46:47):
You have to sell that one and then the other one he brought
into the country as their personal import.
But he wasn't allowed to bring his second one in as a personal
import because you can't bring it to him.
So he had to stay in the US and he converted his motorhome,
massive motorhome, very popular.It's like Airstream, one of

(47:07):
those big companies. And he actually converted from
left hand drive to right hand drive in caravan parks in the US
as he's drive around US. Yeah, yeah.
This guy, he's a, he was a, a, alogging truck driver.
So he used to drive these logging trucks in, in Tasmania.

(47:31):
Brilliant, brilliant mechanic. He's built motorhomes out of
scratch here in Australia. But he actually converted a
whole, a whole entire bus from left hand drive to right hand
drive. Yeah, so.
And he's in his 80s now and he still lives in his bus.
Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah.
What's the way to do it? So hard work.

(47:53):
So to finish this question, do we think they should relax the
laws or do we think like or, or or do we or do we think it's
just, you know, we've got to accept what it is at the moment?
Our government's too lazy to worry about it.
Yeah, that's that's a good point.
I think that's the reality, yeah.
I mean, I, I think it should be closer to New Zealand, if

(48:14):
anything. New Zealand, you know, as I feel
like they're doing it right. They're making so it's a for
cars are affordable for everybody, not, not brand new
cars and you know, all sorts of things that people might want to
own. They actually have more
stringent on road rules for carsas well.
They have to get cheques every six months if they're over 20

(48:35):
years old I believe. A warrant of.
Fitness warrant of fitness. Shout out to the New Zealand
brothers. So yeah, I feel like, you know,
if they can do that and it's a successful scheme, there's no
reason why why we can't do it. We consider them our a, a
brethren and a sister country, right?
So like just doesn't make any sense.

(48:58):
I. Mean And there's an agenda too.
I think the governments want to make it harder to buy a car.
They don't want cars in the city.
They want to keep those cars outwhere they can and people who do
have cars that want to make sureyou're, you're paying for it and
you know that you're paying for it.
So they're not, they're not going to change the laws easier
to import cars or make it any easier, even though they've sort

(49:23):
of eased off a little bit because there's no manufacturing
here. They had to sort of show that
they're doing something and thenthey probably took the easiest,
easiest path, I would imagine, in what they've done.
You know, they wouldn't have gone through a complex, you
know, rehash of the the laws andeverything else to, to, for us
to make it easier for us to import cars.

(49:45):
That's for sure. That's true, yeah.
No, I think you're right. I think for I think one thing
we've learned from this car talk's up to you, is that you
should vote for Rob in the next upcoming election.
Yep, let's start our Car Talk party.
Car Talk, party Car Talk. Party.
Car Talk party rolls of the timebeautifully.
Yeah, it does actually. It's not bad.

(50:09):
Patrick and Scotty, would you bein agreeance with Rob there or
do you think that's was there anything else you'd like to add?
No, he's pretty much now everything spot on pretty much
yeah. Just even with like he says,
well team is New Zealand similarlaws do I can give give everyone
else a fighting chance to own a park for a decent car.

(50:30):
So yeah, no, I I agree, I've gotnothing else to add on it.
Things won't change because the people that are running it have
no clue. Yeah, that is also.
True. They just get handed these
portfolios to look after and they've got no clue about
anything. Whether it's a portfolio on
education or transport or anything, they've got no clue,
no. They don't.

(50:51):
They just put in whatever they want that they think would make
people happy. So it sounds like they're doing
something, you know, So it sounds like, oh, we're making
sure these cars that are, we've stopped them because they're not
safe, just because it sounds good.
They haven't done any research into it.
It's fine in every other country.
What makes us so special? And interestingly, the

(51:15):
department that handles it all is the department, Department of
Infrastructure. That's, I mean, Rover, the
whole, the whole thing to do with the sales register and all
the, all the permits and all thethings you got to buy or go
through the department department and it's hardware to
say Department of Infrastructure.
So that always amused me. I thought I would have thought

(51:35):
it would have been transport, but you know.
Anyway, stupid. Well, there you go.
Nicholas Rabbit, that is your, that is your answer.
Next question is from Daniel May.
He asked. Hey Maddie and crew, what's the
most underrated used car on the Australian market right now and
why? Value for money gems is the
idea. It's a good question.

(51:56):
FG Falcon. Good car.
Good. Car that is it I mean that's
that's a good question it's going to be good value and it's
going to be you know it's going to be kind of slept on in terms
of like, you know how good how good they are.
I've always said, you know, underrated because but people

(52:16):
that no, no, but, but no one else really does accord EUR like
they're, they're, they're such astout car.
Like they, they just, they just work and, you know, they got a
good engine, they're reliable, they look good, especially the
especially the earlier ones. You know, they they do
everything really, really well. Like what's, you know, what's
not to like? And, and there's still so many

(52:37):
on the road and they're quite affordable.
So I think that's like, I think that's the end.
That's my. You know, parts are reasonable.
Yeah, Yep. You can get them in manual auto
10% with or without, you know a body kit like sort of suits a
lot of different people. Does.
Yep, I think. I think they're great value for
money. That's a really good choice,

(52:58):
yeah. Like outstanding value for
money. For like under 10 grand you can
get yourself a cracking car. I bought mine years ago for
seven with 150,000 on it and it was, it was a phenomenal car.
It was, it was great. You know, it was, you know,
heated seats, sunroof, you know,all you need to do is just
update your, your, your hi Fi and you're, and you're ready to

(53:20):
go. Like you know that that car
still looks modern enough to to to drive for the next year
10/10/15 years. Oh, it's aged beautifully.
Very nicely aged, yeah. I actually loved the FT Civic
sport in with that as well, the four door sport, the the type
built cars. We had one of those and and
they're very affordable now. Always score really well in the
crash protection ratings. They're they're really well

(53:42):
built. They've got the K20 again,
manual auto sunroof, had the from 08.
I think they got all the stability control, all the bags,
all that sort of stuff. Yeah, I'd rate them the same.
Hondas from that era were reallyjust solid cars.

(54:03):
Yeah. It must have been when the
motorcycle engineers met the carengineers and they just built
good cars. That's when they spoke to each
other. I think I think Honda was on
their game like that was sellingmillions of the bloody cords and
civics like they were they were flying at the doors.
That was that was a goody ride like that.
They made some they made some cracking cars.

(54:23):
So Rob, you said FG Falcon. I think I think I think that's a
that's a good buy. Like they're they're you know,
they're reliable. They they work.
Taxis. Taxis, yeah, they're a workhorse
and they're, they're quite cheapthese days.
And David Prince has come aroundto to one of those we're
dropping on with like a yeah. Absolutely.
Yeah. Yeah, I think, I think they're
they're a good value for money prospect.
Look, they're not perfect, but they're a good solid car.

(54:46):
They're a safe car, 5 five star end cap rating if that's your
thing. And and all the above.
I think they're they're a great car.
You can and from all accounts, like we are, we as good as as
good as the barrier is and and we know, we know that's a good
engine from all accounts. The the like a really good sweet
drive is the 2 litre EcoBoost 1,which has got a lot of front.

(55:07):
It's it's a lot, a lot lighter in the front end handles a bit
better. I you know, I probably, I
wouldn't buy them myself, but I think I'd go like an eco LPR,
like a gas one. Yeah, Gas.
One yeah, but again, gas is now getting harder to find so that
might be that might be an issue.But yeah, I think, I think
that's AI think that's a great choice for A and you get to find
the 10 grand all day long for a really nice car.

(55:30):
I'm trying to think like you. You really did nail it with the
Accord, like it's a really greatjob.
I think XR5 turbos are still good.
Yeah, I'd agree with you on. That, that's a good one.
If you can score those, the prices are pretty good.
I'd probably lean towards the facelift version.
So I think that's 2010. Yep.

(55:51):
From memory. So just they just look a little
bit cleaner, a little bit more modern that version.
So I'll probably lean towards those as long as it's not really
heavily modified or anything. Bulletproof engine then got no
dramas as long as it's maintained like most cars, I
think. But yeah, the engines are pretty
strong and that side lean towards one of those I.
Had a lady. Would sound good too.

(56:12):
They sound great. I had a lady come in with one to
work a facelift in blue blue recaros and everything and the
body was mounted. But she, she'd, she'd bought it
from like, I think it was a yearold, I think, I think she said
she bought it from. She's had it.
She's had it 20 years. Yeah, like, you know, getting
getting on 15, it has been 15 years.
I think hers was like a late or 9 or early, early, early 10.

(56:34):
She's like best car I've ever had 200 and something thousand
KS on it. She's like, I just I served
recently or really I just had the timing belt done in water
pump and she's like, Yep, keeps going.
I don't really want to get a newcar.
And and she's like, I know the body's hammered that lives
outside. It's, it's been bumped into
everything, but you know, it works and it's been, it's been a
great car. I then proceeded to offer her
money for the car, but then she the.

(56:58):
Old logo. Just just the old logo.
I'm like, well, you know, if youwanna get rid of it, I'll I'll
give it. Yeah, because like, but she had
every stamp in the book, like, like it was it was unbelievable.
Like she she's like, look, I care for a look.
And yeah, so she I think that's a really good one, Scotty, even
even XR5 Mundea is a quite a quite a quite a good thing.
Yep, Like like the rest of the Mondea's in that in that family

(57:21):
are terrible, but those ones arequite.
Good. How many Mondea's were there at
The Wreckers the other day? Were there, damn it.
And they were looking mint like there was nothing wrong with
them. They just looked like there's.
And all sorts of things. You reckon it was just the
engines just grenaded and they just ended up at The Wreckers?
I think parts on them are like, for the Mondeais in particular,
quite pricey. So like, they might have had

(57:42):
like, a small hit and they'd be like, Oh, yeah.
Sort of like the, yeah, the German tux on it, yeah.
Yeah, just just just throw it away.
Just sort of looking at what about a Volvo C30 to T5, the XR5
it's. The same car, yeah.
Same car, 7 grand is 1478. That's a craculate.
I can't show it, but it's Immaculate.

(58:03):
It's on marketplace, it's got the books and everything.
Yeah, that's, that's a cracking car.
Like they're, they're, they're agood car on the financing.
Steels with that and it's. It's only got 196,000
kilometres. And you know, that's the smart
money if you're buying in the XR5 and you or the OR the Volvo,
like that's, that's the, that's the smart buy.
It's a bit more luxurious. It's similar, similar price, if
not cheaper in a lot of ways, because not meaning people know

(58:24):
what they are. You can get them in an order if
you, if that's your thing, you wouldn't know.
And but, but you know, they, they look a bit more funky.
They're they're a 2 door. We only got the four door XR5
CR, but they're only A4 seater. So that's probably why they're
they're a bit they're a bit of aweird one.
Yeah. So but yeah, that's that's a
really good that's a really goodpickup, Rob that that's that's a

(58:45):
that's a great choice. So Scotty, awesome awesome with
the. XL5 good good pickup.
With you, Chad. I'm I'm leaning towards like a a
facelifted Mazda 6. So late 2000s, early 20 tens.
Yeah. So second Gen, yeah, second.
Oh, they are the second Gen, right.
Second Gen like that one I've got here.
Yeah, Yeah, that is the second Gen.

(59:07):
I mean, yeah, very reasonable. You can pick them up between
5:00 and $10,000 for, you know, any amount of KS that you choose
for your budget. And you know, there's plenty of
on the road. I just think they're just like a
really good absolutely built carand they've lost the test of
time and I think they'll just keep on going one of those cars

(59:29):
that will just service it and then do the regular maintenance
and you're fine. I had one of those second Gen
Maza threes. Yeah, not not sixth straight
Maza 3, I had one. But yeah, they're still similar
car. They've got shared very similar
drivetrain. And yeah, they just go solid car
and they'll just they'll just outlast like say with the one of

(59:50):
those cars. They'll stand test of time.
Fun, practical, great on fuel torun.
Zip a lot of boxes. Really a.
Waggon for a bit of extra room and yeah.
Pretty awesome. For sure that shape the second
Gen, could you get hatch, sedan and waggon or was it just hatch
and. Just hatch and waggon, I
believe. Yeah.

(01:00:10):
Left back and waggon. Back and waggon, yeah.
Because on the 1st Gen you couldget, you could get a sedan, you
could get a lift back and you could get a waggon, yeah.
It's interesting that they that they offered all that.
Yeah, but they even did it with the 66's I think.
A lot. Yeah, they did too.
Yeah, early 2000s. 2000s, yeah, yeah, No, I think that's I think
that's a great one. What about you, Patrick?

(01:00:31):
What? What's on your list?
What's on my side? There's a fear though that was
on my list, but one lately that probably kind of similar in the
same territory as we've Scott. I was looking at probably the
Astra VXRS or Sri Turbos. Oh yeah, they're cool.
It's essentially you're getting a lot of a lot of car for the

(01:00:52):
money and you still pick up a decent one for under 10 grand
and you're getting a really highperformance hot hatch.
You're thinking like, you know, leather interior, which you
know, is is a lot nicer seen in the times than cloth.
Very, very slept on, very underrated, very slaverish
looking. Not many people will know what
you're looking at won't really grab as much attention.

(01:01:17):
Granted, yeah, parts can be a bit dearer to find for for those
cars being with the nature of them being an Opal.
If at all. Yeah, for the whole yeah.
Yeah, Tom, mood and water pump every 80,000 KS Yes, but
suspension. But apart from that, like.
Apart from all those things, great.

(01:01:38):
Engine wise they're quite stout though.
Like there, there's the yeah, I know they, they they've got the
the motor itself is strong. It's just like if any everything
around it if when it doesn't can't go, it's trying trying to
locate it. That's the only issue that's the
issue to find is trying to find parts.
But if again, if that's not the not the your cup of tea, then

(01:02:00):
for the similar same price in the same category, you can even
look at the the series 1 Mazda 3NPS.
Yeah, good car, Great car. Very.
Performers XR5 and the C30. Well, there you go.
So yeah, they're I'll probably, I'll probably lean more towards
the NPS and that one. But I mean, like Matt, you
really, you really nailed it with the accord Euro.

(01:02:22):
It's just best of both worlds. I've I've had mates that you
know, they've done them up. They had, they had the the EUR,
the sports Euro Rs and just doesn't matter what trim you get
them in like they practically all do the same thing and they
just all do it so well. They just ain't great.
And yeah, they they look great as well.

(01:02:43):
So like it's another good looking.
They're just a nice car, like, like they're still a nice car
like. Like they're.
Nice to drive and they're roomy yeah, they're very roomy.
Oh, what they are, they're pretty roomy.
Like I'm 6 foot one myself, my mate's 6 foot as well.
We had a few other boys as well,but we sat comfortably, four of
us in this car, you know, this heap of every space.

(01:03:07):
It's a nice car to be in as well.
They are a bit tiny, I've noticed, especially with the
doors. I've, you know, said that can
sound a bit tiny, but besides that, like I feel like if I was
like to go back to my pays or whatever to like find like a
first car, I'd definitely look into a euro man, they're just
great. Completely agree.
I think they are very, very goodvalue for for what you get.

(01:03:27):
Like there's not many cars that can do what that car can do.
Like Mazda sixes comes comes close to it.
I think Mazda sixes. I've driven a few Mazda Sixes
and I think as a kind of like a handling car, the Mazda 6, so
Mazda's of that generation, theyalways drove well.
I don't know if you guys would would agree with that.
They have a lot of mechanical like grip grip they did.

(01:03:48):
Yeah, yeah, Like they, they really focused on that whole
zoom zoom thing and like they, they really made them drive
well, like back to back if I like, I drove them as I drove.
A funny story. I took the I took the the Euro
to to bands, though, and a friend of mine's got a Mazza 6
there and I've driven these Mazza 6 and I and I and, you
know, I was comparing the two and I'm like to drive the Mazda

(01:04:11):
6 is, I think a touch better. But to live with, I'd have the
the Honda all day long because it was just it was the better of
it was the better car. It felt better built better
compromise. It had a better engine, the
engine far better. And you know, like the K 24 is
really good. I just think, like I thought the
magic 6 was the was the sweeteststeer.
But I mean, that's just that's just being, that's just a bit

(01:04:32):
being a bit wanky. But in terms of, in terms of the
cars itself, I'd have the, I'd have the euro all day.
And it's the right size too. And, and, and that's what I
always say to people like, you know, that that size of sedan
it's. That size car.
It's the it's the right size. Like you didn't need.
You don't need a car bigger thanthat.
You don't need a car smaller than that.
That is. That's right.
That is the IT is the perfect sized car and if we if they

(01:04:54):
would have offered that here as a waggon like they did overseas,
I reckon they would have sold a lot, a lot of waggons here.
I think there was a bit of a missed opportunity from Honda
not to sell the waggon here. Yes, that waggon I don't think
looks as good as a sedan, but you know, having said that, it's
still a waggon and people would like waggons.
The practicality, yeah. So out of all the Hondas, David,

(01:05:16):
which Honda would you steer awayfrom not to buy that's.
A good question. Would it be a Honda Legend?
Probably as a second hand car, now as a cheaper car.
Well, when I knew I heard of quite problematic that they had
some engine issues. Which Gen are you talking?
Like how? Early, early late 90s, early

(01:05:36):
2000s. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's funny, I, I talked about this when the, when I first got
that 94 accord that I, I really liked it because it bridged the
gap. I mean, I love legends and, and
we've had a few in the family. My daughter's first car was a, a
very cheap legend that I picked up through the trade and it was

(01:05:57):
absolutely did not give a minute's trouble.
But I, I always felt if something went bang underneath
the bonnet, you know, you'd be in this Doo Doo.
It would, it's very, a lot of plumbing under there.
And but it didn't thankfully, but I always sort of did.
Whereas I think the accords feelmore robust and I think that

(01:06:18):
comes out at the euro too. They feel more more durable, I
suppose in a way the legends arebeautifully engineered, but but
the accords just I think I thinkwe're in in in each generation.
They they were well thought out.They were they used quality
materials and and the like. So I'd I'd probably say the
legend if if I was breast for that reason.

(01:06:41):
I just felt I've got no reason. Likely our experience wasn't
that we had any problems with them, but there was just a
fragility about the was it some wordy to say they're a fragility
around the longevity of them, like if they if they if they
were serviced properly? By the kilometres.

(01:07:03):
Yeah, if that was serviced properly, they were fine, you
know. And I think that's, I think
that's that car's biggest issue.And I think the reason why
Accords for me stood the test oftime better than religion was
because people that bought Accords, like they usually
middle class you, you usually just said, OK, we'll look after
account, we'll get it serviced. Whereas people that bought a
legend, well, initially really looked after it, But then people

(01:07:25):
that wanted, oh, it's a legend. It's a really nice car, but they
couldn't really afford to maintain it and bought them
second. And they just didn't really,
they didn't give them the love they needed because they were
quite a technical, you know, a lot more technical than a than
a, than an Accord. They had a lot more in them than
a, an Accord. And when they went bang, they're
a lot more expensive than an Accord.
So it's not that they were a badcar, like if you compare that to

(01:07:46):
a Range Rover, like, like, you know.
It's. It's, you know.
It's. It's.
We're being. We're being very picky with
Honda, you know, like that's, that's very hard to do.
But you know what I'm trying to say, right?
Yeah. Yeah, no, it's true.
It's. If you're, if you had to, if you
had to pick one thing that you were probably going to say,
well, I'll maybe steer clear from him.

(01:08:07):
That would be I'd I'd agree withyou, Rob and and David I'd
that'd be my pick. I would I'd say probably a a a
legend. That is a bit how you're going
on in terms unless it was meticulously maintained and
really loved, yes, Otherwise, maybe not.
I'd I'd buy, I'd buy an accord Euro like like I, I just would

(01:08:28):
like I'd, you know, you're getting you're getting AI think
a better built car as bad as that says in terms of like how
it feels, because they always felt pretty solid to me.
But also I know that they're pretty stout and and if they do
go wrong, there's a lot more availability for them.
There's a lot there's a lot morebacking behind it, if that makes

(01:08:48):
sense. So I think that's for me.
Yeah, I'd agree with you. I think the I think that that
would be the end, the legend, not that it's a bad car.
It's definitely not. But you know, it's funny.
David and I went to Wreckers recently and we saw this
Autobiography, Range Rover, You know, it was, it was a.
Autobiography at The Wreckers. The Wreckers, Yes.

(01:09:09):
That's crazy. Yeah.
I had proof it was a no biography.
Still like an $80,000 car. Yeah, So autobiography.
Vogue. It was It was a it was a Vogue
it was an. Yeah, Vogue Autobiography.
Yeah, Vogue Autobiography. And the thing looked mint.
Like, like the interior was really nice.
Like, you know, the backseat waslush.
I was like, well, I can make a chair out of that.

(01:09:33):
But you know, and I'm looking at, I'm like, I guarantee the
reason this is here is because it's mechanically totaled.
Yeah. It's like, you know, for what
other they had? No, it had no body damage on it
like it made. What records was this?
Jollies. Wow, yeah.
Now listen. So what was that, Rob?
Elicit. Elicit.

(01:09:55):
Make a good car, yeah, but. I was like like the only reason
this car is here is unless it was like a stolen recovery but I
don't think so because like the IT looked OK but it.
Looked Mackle inside. It looked mint and I'm like,
there's no body damage like thishas to be a mechanical write off
like this has to just be like, well.
Sure, surely you'll be able to find another motor for it if it
was a mechanical write off and throw a new motor in it.

(01:10:18):
I mean, at the end, but like, what do people charge for that?
Like that's that's. A 4.4 litre V8I.
Think it was the 4.4 yeah, yeah,that that would be the four the
the 4-4. I don't know if it was a
supercharged 1, I don't think itwas, but yeah, just I couldn't,
I couldn't believe what I was looking at.
I'm like, this is brand new. What's a 1/4 of $1,000,000?
Like that's, that's not a cheap,that's not a cheap car.

(01:10:38):
And it wasn't even that old. And it, and it's, I'm like, I'm
like far out like, yeah. And then the car I drove to the
records was a 350,000 kilometre laser, you know, like that's,
that's, that's way older. Yeah.
It cost 110th of it. That's brand new, yeah.
There's agility, I think. I think, yeah.
Anything, yeah, with an RR badges or so Rolls Royce and Ray

(01:11:01):
Trophy is is a bit of a bit of abit of a guess, but it's funny
like picking the worst cars frombrands like, you know, with
certain cars, the car companies,it's hard to choose.
Like, you know, we're being picky about a legend, but
realistically, it's not a bad car.
Yeah, fundamentally. I love them.
They're beautiful. Yeah, I wouldn't have.

(01:11:22):
I would have actually bought one.
Me mate. Goes oh, you better steal away
from them. There's this one.
They've been known to have like engine issues, particularly an
engine issue on one of them at that time.
I can't remember exactly what model it was.
Actually the early the American built accord, so the bigger
accord, they got the Homer Accord because they're American
built. The biggest sort of not as nice

(01:11:44):
one that was sold alongside the euro, they had a 3.5 that would
turn off up the Bank of cylinders I think like.
That oh, right. They'd idled out of three.
Sidi. Yeah, and they, they had
problems with those. They were rebuilding a lot of
those under warranty and even out of warranty.
I know they were rebuilding some.
So yeah, that's probably the onethat would put a question mark

(01:12:06):
with me. But I, I, I wasn't familiar with
any big issues around the Legends, the orders when they
got a bit older and people didn't bother taking them to
Honda for service, They didn't get the proper servicing because
Honda designed the gearbox and they designed the oil to go in
it. They just say use this oil and
it'll be fine. And they were.
But it's when people didn't bother changing the transmission

(01:12:27):
fluid and or put the wrong one in, that's when they go.
I've got one more underrated onebefore we move on the Nissan
350/370Z. I think it's a great sports car,
you know? The bank for Barclays, you
really can't pay that. Insane.
Like you're getting a real drive, powerful, you know, front
engine, you know, rear drive, manual gearboxed sports car for

(01:12:50):
under 20 grand. I was going to say, how much are
they now? I'm going to have a look and
see. Like I remember, I, I, I, you
got. A very clean one for under 20
grand now. Like a super clean one.
And you can like I'm going to beseeing, you know, OK ish.
Three 50s for under 10 at one point, Yeah.
And I was like, that's a tonne of car for the moment.
Yeah. It's incredible, like Vinnies
are still up there. So what was that, Scotty?

(01:13:13):
Three 70s are still priced up there a bit.
They're holding their value all right.
It's probably three 50s, yeah. Three 50s, yeah.
Like it's, you know, they're, they're a pretty reliable
engine. Like they don't, they don't
really go wrong. They came in a lot of cars, so
they're heefs, you know they're available if something was to go
wrong. Absolutely.
Cheap to cheap to maintain because it's less than six.

(01:13:35):
It's a maximum engine. You know what I mean?
Like it's, it's essentially whatit is.
Not only can you get parts here,but you'll be able to get them
in Japan and that too so. Correct.
Yeah. Interestingly, the cheapest ones
on car sales at the moment are all convertibles.
Yeah, that makes sense. You could get a coup in the in
the early teens and under 10 grand OPS.

(01:13:57):
I remember seeing an an an automatic one, to be fair, under
10. That was that was probably a
year and a bit ago. But you know, and they're a
pretty stout car in terms of like for, you know, underrated
car because because a lot of thetime they were bought by people.
I just didn't care or, you know,young kids are just they just
ruined them. But if you want, if you want a
cheap, affordable sports car that you can take to a track day

(01:14:19):
that you can, you know, you can have a bit of fun with on the
weekends and it's not that expensive.
And early three 50s are now pushing getting closer to to
that to that club plate, You know, your era.
I think you know that there are a lot less technically advanced.
Well, in terms of technically fragile and and, you know,
harder to fix than a than a 300ZX which which which it, you

(01:14:42):
know, you know, which it surpassed.
So I think I think that's, that's that's that's good buying
really it it'll be it'll be a car that you should they should
really, really, you know, look for.
I think I think that's AI think that's one to watch because like
S 2000s are like ridiculous money now.
So that's the BS money is what they are.
S2000 gets so expensive. Was it production numbers or?

(01:15:06):
They made tonnes of them like it, just I don't.
Know just a good car. It is.
It's a very good car. Yeah.
Last question of the evening. So this one's from Montanino
Corleone. Would be interesting to hear
everyone's nomination for their personal car of the decade.
Only one car model can be nominated from the 70s,
eighties, nineties, 2000s and 10s.

(01:15:28):
I think we, we'll continue this question next week because
that's actually a really good question that you.
Yeah, your Car of the decade, I think.
Big discussion. Yeah, I think, I think we'll
continue that one next week. But let's let's do our cars from
from the from the decade, let's do the 2000s.
OK, so came. Out in the 2000s.
Cars are coming. So, so we, we, we're all well

(01:15:48):
versed in these cars. I think that's why I'm that's
why I'm putting it out. What is your car from the decade
and why, gentlemen? 2000s.
Baraturbo FPV. 2000 and. 3BA Xbox 6 Turbo.
I'm with you up I, I, I think it's only it's a good pick.

(01:16:11):
Value, reliability, power. Yeah.
They're good, They're a good car, genuinely a good car.
It's. A hard one to be AU Falcon
that's kind of in the same realm.
I'll, I'll be the sensible one if we're talking my opinions,
the best car in terms of in, in terms from an engineering

(01:16:31):
standpoint, A46M3. OK.
OK. OK, Scotty, Scotty is, I think
you've got a sore point with Scotty, but.
Me too. I, I guess, I guess back then,
even though they had a lot of recalls, but you know, even back
then there was a lot of recalls.I had the documentation of those

(01:16:55):
recalls that was done to the dentist that owned it.
You see what you're coming from,like they are a very loved car
in E46 M3, like and like the Accord we're talking about
before they're the right size. Like for me, a three series is
an E46 size. Like it shouldn't be.
It shouldn't be any bigger. Yeah, they're the right size.

(01:17:18):
They looked good. Like they're still a good
looking car. It'll look good, yeah.
Great engine wouldn't. They when they work great.
Chassis when they work. When they work.
Great cooling system when they work.
Electronics, not so much. Good, good electric windows when
they work Scotty. When they work.

(01:17:42):
And I think I think that's a good one.
Patrick, I'm, I'm, I'm with you now.
I. I'll call pay.
For it, but yeah. It's a love hate thing.
I'll call pay for it, but I'll I'll argue and I'll argue it's
potentially if not the best M3 mate, yeah.
I think. I said it, I said it, I said it.
The last best M3 mate. Yep.

(01:18:02):
That's a big call, but you know,a fair call.
I think a lot of people would be, would be on board with that.
So you think it's the best car of the decade because it's it
was engineered to handle really well.
It was a good driver's car. What?
What? What else?
Patrick, Just just don't. Yeah.
So obviously the obviously have the drivability of the car and

(01:18:23):
as well a big thing. I I guess it that that's for me
at least it's obviously styling and how well it plays like hold
itself throughout the future. I think feel like till this day
now, it's such a good looking car.
It is a good look. You, you, you you couldn't yes,
it's like, you know, well, well,truly reaching its age as it is
now. So and it's just it's got the

(01:18:43):
right amount of curves. It's got the right amount of
like like me on it. It's everything about it is it's
perfect. It's I love it.
I've seen since as a kid, I justsaw it and just you feel like a
sense of probably not as an owner, like like Scotty just
constantly, you know, burning money because it is at the end

(01:19:04):
of the day. But I don't know, I feel like
it's just like just raw power, just raw that I thought the car
is just raw and it's just it just gives you is just raw.
And I think like ultimately likea car.
I must be, you know, a part of you and it should be an, an
emotional experience. And I, I feel like, you know,
an, an A46 really brings that up.

(01:19:26):
Yeah, and if you threw another 80,000 at it, it'll be
bulletproof. I'm I'm.
I'm with you, Patrick, Like and I, I think, I think cars from
that era like that mid 2000s, I mean the a 46 traces with
respect to the late 90s, but thethe you know, that kind of
particular like they made some good looking cars in that era
too. You know.

(01:19:46):
They made things like the you know, like the E46M3 they made
like the B series Falcon, like you were talking about earlier,
like the genuinely that's a goodlooking car.
It's it's it's held up really nicely Accord Euro good looking
car like they made they made real handsome sedans back then
the. BMW 1M scrape into that was that

(01:20:07):
Oh, is that just out of the 2000?
That's a good. Question facelifted one series?
Yeah, like that of that era. One MB MWI will the.
Little. 2 doors. Worse than a 46 man?
Come on, No it's not. Yeah, no, it's not.
That's. 1M. I'll I'll give you the address
of my dad's European workshop and then he will tell you how

(01:20:28):
much. One M was a beast.
It's A. Product of a car man, but just
just riddled with problems and. They they offered that was 2007.
The Tokyo Audio show was unveiled as the one series
concept, like the one series, one series MI think, and then it
had then it had the BMWN 54 N 54fitted to it.

(01:20:51):
It came out in I'm gonna just look up and received Richard
Hammond's car of the Eurowood in2011.
So I don't. It doesn't say.
It's I'd say mid 2000s for that car.
It'd be. It'd be.
The One series was out. When yeah, the One series was
out. Yeah, the same as the E92 error.
Correct, Yes. So I'd say, I'd say it'd be,
it'd be late. It'd, it'd be, it'd be 2010 or

(01:21:14):
later, I'd say. Yeah, it'd be.
Close, wouldn't it? It was limited edition March 20,
eleventh to June 2012. They made 6331 units of them.
I saw one, there's a few in Australia.
There's not many here, but therethere are a few here.
So yeah, I think you just, you just pipped Scotty, but that
could be your one for the for the 2000 when, when we cover
that next week. That's.

(01:21:34):
Alright, I'll just go for the C63 AMG that came out my way.
Yeah. 2204204 was a good car again handsome sedan like good
looking car. I like the look of them.
Yeah, handmade V8. And it's still one of the most
powerful. Weren't they naturally aspirated
V eights? Yeah, I think they still hold,

(01:21:54):
they're still up there in, in, in in that they are genuinely a
really decent car to drive. Like I, I, if you get a good
one, they're they're they're a cracker.
I'm I'm a fan of those. I think.
I think that's a great pick. So, so your your CCC 3 MGW 2O
four, your Patrick, your E46M3 rifles basically, yeah.
David Prince. Oh there's so many I'm just

(01:22:18):
can't get out of the fact AII just googled best car of the
2000s and AI review said and I quote the best in inverted
commas. Car of the 2000s is subjective
and depends on individual preferences that several models
stand out for their impact and popularity.
The Ford Falcon XR6 turbo get. Out.
It was just, oh shit. No way it's.

(01:22:40):
Been listening to us. Especially the 2002 BA model is
often cited as a highlight car for performance and value.
Rob. We're on.
You're absolutely AI. Yeah, you're wrong.
Don't be wrong. Yeah, I Rob, I think you're spot
on mate. I think I think that is a that's
a cracking car. There you go again.
Yep, I think that that's great. Yep, a good pick and Rob you.

(01:23:01):
Remember seeing it at Mount Panorama when it was launched.
Kind of like unveiled and launched there after the AU it.
Looked good. It looks it did.
It actually looked fantastic. I was when I first saw that to
go head to head against the the Vy or VZ.
You've been Vy at the start, yeah.
It's like, yeah. It was Ford's comeback car, like

(01:23:22):
like that. It was a make or break car for
Ford. The the B series and and, and
for me, it's still, it's for me,that's pinnacle Falcon in terms
of design, in terms of fuel sales, everything.
Yeah. Like it it it sold.
It outsold Commodore for the first time in years.
That that that, you know, B series did, which, you know, for
a short time, to be fair, we won, we won wheels car of the

(01:23:44):
year and and and the like. So it's a it's a great car.
I'm I'm I'm I'm on board with that.
So so David Prince, it's us 4 onthe podcast.
Can't be wrong when saying that it's not about correct.
I'm. Kind of struggling with this.
There's so many, and it depends what you there's.
Heaps. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you.
Can't. You can't narrow it down.

(01:24:05):
You just got to pick a car and just throw it in the in the pot.
Well, I want to give you some homework, gentlemen.
All right, we're going to answer.
We're going to answer the set from the 70s to the 20 tens next
week, and you have to have one in your head for each of the.
Ears and you need to 70s, eighties, 90s.
Yeah, 2 thousands, 2000s and twenty 10s.
Wow. OK, they.
Can't all be Hondas, can they? I mean, sure, why not?

(01:24:29):
Well, we know what the car of the 70s is, the P-76.
That's a great assignment, actually.
Let's do that. And then, and then we, we have
to, we have to back up our, our decision.
We have to. There's no right or wrong
answers as long as you can back it up.
Yeah, true and. And we'll all agree at the end
who we chose, the best one from that era, I think.

(01:24:50):
I think we can all we can all have a discussion.
And or could it be the cars thatare from that that decade that
you would like to own? Yes, we can also do that as
well. Because it you know what?
What like the spaghetti Veyron came out in 2008 or 2009.
So I mean, it's hard not to include that in the list
somewhere. But I mean, how, how attainable

(01:25:12):
is that? It's not attainable, you know.
Unattainable. It's a glorified VW, OK?
That's with 16 radiators or something.
Like that? They're no great assignment,
great homework. Great.
Homework because it's hard to think about what category you
put in because you could put Bugatti Veyron in there because
of the innovation and everythingwanted.

(01:25:34):
To publish. Just insane, you know?
It was it was a game changing car like like like there's no,
there's no doubt about it, like,you know, 2001 horsepower, all,
all the, all the likings, but. And where are they built?
Where are they built? They're built in France.
France, yeah. Correct.
Yeah, correct. They are, after all, French,
aren't they? Well, supposed to be.

(01:25:55):
Well, they are, but a lot of people think they're Italian, of
course, but they're not. They're they're, they're a
Volkswagen. They're Volkswagen.
In France they're from. We'll finish that next week.
We'll come back. Patrick.
You better be here for it next. Week to defend.
I'll do my homework, don't worryabout it.
But I'll be here. You can't have a Hilux from
every generation. Why not?
They went right for every generation.

(01:26:16):
That's it. 1 Carl. They're all generations.
Unbreakable. I want a feeling.
Carter ruled them all. There was there was a video of
it was just like a short clip and there's this house had
completely just burnt down and destroyed.
And I'm like, what kind of clip is this?
Like, why don't we want to see this?
And I see these headlights and outcomes this Hilux St.

(01:26:38):
In. The garage?
Hey, just another quick one. What about that Volvo this week
that went bounced off a trampoline into a house with the
family? I was on the news on the other
day. I didn't couldn't tell What Car
it was. It was it.
Was a Volvo Volvo station Volvo waggon of some sort I'll.
Have to check it. Out 40 year old husband and the

(01:26:59):
wife and the kids in the back. They all walked out safely and
it was up in the up in the sky, in the roof.
I'm flying off the auto bar. Yeah, we like came off the side
and went into the roof of a house, basically.
Yeah. So that's my car of the.
Volvo decades all 19, not only the.
Car of their decade? Yeah, definitely Volvo.

(01:27:21):
Even the Saabs back then, I thought they were good.
I, I, I do I I'm quite partial to a Saab.
I do like a Saab, yeah. Pretty cool.
Space. All right, all right, so there's
your homework, gentlemen. Next week set.
We've got to get pick one car from the decade that that's your
that that you think is the car of the decade.
And then and I think we'll do the week after the cars from
each decade that we'd actually love to own.
I think I think we've got to do that as well.

(01:27:41):
I think we're done. I think that'll be that'll be
that'll be good. So that's.
Part of work. That's the following week.
So the great question we'll haveto, we'll have to come back to
because because we are, we are running out of time on podcast.
We got to get we got to get to the quiz.
We've got a few more questions which we'll get to as well,
which we'll cover. So thanks to our listeners for
sending those through. But it is the cartel car quiz,
gentlemen. Let's get into tonight's car

(01:28:03):
quiz. Chad's jumping over to the other
side. No.
Shenanigans. So no shenanigans are to be
putting Where's Ellen? Where's Ellen?
Yeah, where is Ellen? He's on a plane he's on.
He can't defend. You he can't, he can't defend
himself as as we as we like to to point out.
So tonight's tonight's battle. We've got David, we've got

(01:28:24):
Patrick, we've got Rob, we've got Chad and we've got Scotty
Doe. Let's crack into a question
number one, you know the rules 10 questions plus some bonus
questions. The rarest Ford Mustang ever
built with with just twos 2 made.
It is a 1967 Mustang GT Sagato with only two being built.

(01:28:47):
As I mentioned, one recently sold at auction in the UK in
pound sterling. How much did it sell for closest
to OH? Sagato.
So it's like it's pretty much just like an appearance package,
it just made the front end up look a bit different.
Yeah. So closest to closest to Chad,
I'm going to do 5,000,000 lbs five million.

(01:29:08):
Pounds, one of two built. One of 267. 67 Mustang Yes.
I've got a million £1,000,000. £1,000,000, says Rob.
I'll. Go 3. 3,000,000 says Pat Scott.
Scott. I'll go 1.6 million six.
Million and David. I'll do it now.

(01:29:30):
I'll go 959. 150,000 You are closest to David Prince.
It's sold for a staggering 155,000 lbs.
Why? OK.
Oh, OK. I think you're all overstating.
I threw everybody off. So everyone's saying whoever

(01:29:51):
bought this car bought a bloody.Bargain.
Bargain. Yeah, I mean, I mean bargain.
Two, I thought it'd be kind of decent, but.
That's what I thought too, but apparently it's sort of boss
lines of some people aren't really interested.
It's just. It's just a, just a.
Cosmetic upgrade? Really.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's.
One of two, David, one of two. It's like all those people

(01:30:14):
selling their cars saying they only, you know, 30 came in this
colour. They made 10.
Thousand of them, but only 30 inthis colour.
Edward butting eat your heart out with your smoth question #2

and manga initial D release the song with which Chad.
You've been finished the question.
Bro he just jumped in. Hey, Ichi SU Chia.
Hey, Ichi SU Chia. So the question, Yeah, well, I'm
that it's correct. So Ke Ichi SU Chia and Bunta
Fujiwara sang a song together and it was it was it was a

(01:30:57):

song to something. I'll give you .5.

(01:32:01):
It's a love song to driving. The driving incorrect, Rob, but
but Patrick, you're you're kind of it's kind of like a bit of a
dedication. I'll, I'll, I'll pay that, Chad.
I mean is it the dedication to like the 86 or?
Something it is a dedication to the 86, correct?
Yeah, pretty much. Thinking about the love for the
AE80. Wow, there you go.

Kind of makes sense. I agree.

Wheel brand concept. Cars Studio have released a
wheel based on what design? Triangle.

(01:32:44):
Triangle is incorrect. Triangle wheels.
Tri spokes, they did. They did, absolutely.
I had to guess, is it a retro inspired design from like a

(01:33:04):
reproduction? It is retro, but it's not of a
of an actual car. Wheel no.
Like like a real car that is wheel no.
So this has just come out. This has just come out.
Yeah, Scott. Based on like because everyone
wants steely. So is it based on that look?
You're on the right track, but it's incorrect, Scotty.
Dang it. Chad, Chad, is it like a Turbo

Incorrect. Like Patrick you still got and
Rob you still got. Together, I guess.

get a hard top version of the Camry SV21.

(01:38:26):
What was it called? David.
David the Vista. It was called the Vista.
Chad was just like. I can't remember what the word
was. I had the word vienta stuck in
my head. It's close.
I'm like. Oh.
Bonus question, they sold the Vista in America, but not as a

(01:38:48):
Vista and not as a Toyota. What was it sold as?
David. David A.
Hustle a Vista. Hustle.
I wish it was. That would be brilliant, but
it's not. That is incorrect.
Not as a Toyota. Not not as a Toyota.
Not not branded as a Toyota thatshould.
Give it away. So Chad, Chad, was it a Lexus ES

(01:39:10):
something I'll. Give it to you Chad.
It was a Lexus ES. They saw it, they saw it as so
the, so the reason why they soldit as a Lexus ES was because the
like, so Lexus when they were entering the American market,
didn't want to enter the car with just one car.
Like if any car enter the company into the market with
just one car. So they're like, what else do we

(01:39:32):
have that can go next to OK, LS400.
So they said, well, the Vista looks kind of cool.
It's got AV 6. So that was how so it was known
as the ES-250. That's the first ES ever made.
They didn't sell many of them. They sold way more LS400.

yesterday. Australian.

(01:39:54):
Not Australian, it's in the UK. I'll get you.

else. Maybe does his name start with
C? It does.
Oh, I knew it. I knew it.
I knew it there. You go, OK.

(01:41:23):
a point. Come on, let's.

They did find it that was found like later that day.
But it's it's his most prized possession.

Time. It's his favourite car.
It's it's a BMW of sorts but I can't remember what 1 I remember

(01:42:08):
him talking about it. I'll give you .5 for BMW.
It is a BMW. I can't remember what one name.
You guys all out? It was his E28B MW M5.
OK. Yes, question #9 So after it's a
horsepower question. So Honda announced the the new
Preludes horsepower number closest to how much horsepower

(01:42:31):

Yep, I will. Say 325.
Getting covered in all all sidesover here, Robin.

(01:42:55):
Davidson. 323. I'm going to go low 275.
But Rob, you're closest to it's undisappointing 181 horsepower.
Horsepower. Yeah, Horsepower.
Yeah. Wow.
Yeah, so. Camry hybrid makes more power.
Yeah, but I guess their SD makesmore.

(01:43:15):
That's crazy. Surprising.
I don't think they're going for like a sports car anymore.
I think it's more of like a likea kind of like a sports cruiser.
I think that's the is the the answer.
Just wait for the pretty new type, are they?
That's what we're waiting for, correct?
That is exactly what we're waiting for.
Question #10 Altrac the the badge Altrac was not just used
by the VAG group. What are the company has used?

Jeep? Yeah, I said Chrysler.
Yeah, Jeep. Yeah, it's, it's not.

(01:43:56):
Like specifically as a, as a, asa model, like they'd have like
the old track this and the old track that.
They had that a few old tracks. I think I know no.
Still anybody's quiz. Actually, anybody could win this
from here. Like out of.
Yeah, it's surprisingly very close.
So you said other than the VAG group?
VAG group, yeah, because they'vehad old track, you know,

(01:44:18):
they've, I think they've got thegolf.
You're saying it was another vehicle maker and a model?
And it. Was an old track variant.
They'd have like, for example, the Falcon all track, but like,
it's not a, it's not a Ford, butthat's what.
Yeah, but they had it on variousmodels.
Scott. Scott.

(01:44:39):
Tell you what, Scotty, you've you've helped everybody out.
I'll give you guys a hint. It's in the it's in the same
place it was made. So Japanese brands, it's a
Japanese brand that now Chad. Was it Toyota?
It was Toyota Chad. Well, Chad's won it, hasn't he?
Well. So they did the Camry all track,

(01:45:02):
all wheel drive. They did the silica all track or
which is all wheel drive, but but we know that we knew that
here as the GT4. All right.
They did other all tracks, I believe as well.
But yeah, the all track was for their for their, for the North
American market specifically where they could have snow.
So they, they, they, they. That's why they offered all.
Truck like the bloody Tercel 4 wheel drive correct?

there, I'm sure. What about the other one with
the the golfer that where you let his son on the on the green

(01:47:33):
there didn't even give him golf shoes to walk down the green.
Didn't he fall over or something?
He just won the the PGA or something the other day.
His. Son fell on the green.
Yeah, well, your son ran out to congratulate his dad after, you
know, winning the game, the whatever the tournament, and he
fell over and tripped over and they sort of made a big deal
about it. Oh my.
God. Oh.

(01:47:56):
I've been listening to like funny sports stories on on a
podcast. I'm plugging another podcast,
but sports bizarre, right? It's like Titus O'Reilly and
Mick Malloy and some some sporting stories are just
insane. Like it's you, you'll hear stuff
like that where like the you know, and there'll be punch ONS
and all sorts of things. So, so yeah, that was that just
reminded me of that. That was that was actually, that

(01:48:17):
was actually quite good. So that that'll be on probably
the next episode. Didn't even give his kids shoes.
Yeah, probably. Probably off shoes.

Those where it didn't happen. Yeah.
Absolutely. Photos.
Yeah. So you've got to be in, you
know, on the inside, you know? Yeah.

(01:48:59):
So we've been basically passed as being foster carers for a
Labrador pup. Really.
Cool man, there you go. So foster care as well on that.
Yeah, absolutely. Puppy can you train them not to
be alerted by the car? The smell of Japanese car parts.
Righty, I'll make sure. Work on that, Rob, we'll.

(01:49:19):
Work on that one. See Japanese car parts.
Make sure they smell a lot of different car parts.
So they're not, they're like, you know, it's confused by it.
Righty. OK, OK.
Apparently they used to train them with a bit of Vegemite in a
towel and roll up the Vegemite in the towel and then put them
underneath these pots and they'll walk them around through
the pots and they'll stop where the Vegemite is.

(01:49:40):
And then they play tug of war asa reward if they win, find a
Vegemite. That's that's how they used to
train them. Then they'd get onto other types
of higher level smells. Yeah.
I'm assuming stuff on the of thePablo Escobar variety.
