Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, it has been quite a journey in the last
couple of months for my v Here Kohol. I had
a car that was the Hot Tomato v Here Cool
for a period of time. Basically the regie ran out
on my last car and I just borrowed the one
from here That was about three years ago. So you
do that, yeah, yeah, absolutely, So what I did was

(00:22):
I borrowed the hot Tomatow car.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
It's called Berdie the I thirty. I haven't heard that
for a while.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
And so it eventually bought it from the station and
anything that could go wrong with this car went wrong because.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
It was fine, well was it. Everything was fine with
it as soon as you bought it. For some reason
you put a death touch on it and everything.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
The window had fallen into the driver's side door, not once,
but twice. The passenger door couldn't open from the inside.
The fan belt snapped in the middle of Pilot wrote
there was just no wiper on the back of the car.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
The lights, the lights just they just had their time. Yeah,
it was their shine. When you have to use the stick.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh yes, the little bit thing, the big big thing
that broke, and the like the button that I pressed.
I got a stick that I was just pressing it
because it was about a week and then say, oh,
why don't you just flick the key out use it
as a key, And I was like, you're very intelligent.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
We filmed all that because that was funny.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
So the car had quite quite a life, constantly flat tires,
which was which is probably why I started my weight
lost journey because I was taking it quite personally. So
around the twenty eighth of April, it was parked at
the back of my house along with my dad's car,
which I was borrowing as well, because oh that's right.
Bertie also had a cracked windscreen and oh that's what

(01:54):
I remember. The key wouldn't turn in the drum of
the thing, So that's why I broke Dad's car. That night,
after I'd got home from Trivia Eli and I had
just got home. Fifteen minutes later, a lady who was
having a bit of a let's just say she was
not having a great night, was chasing another car through
the area that I live in. Tried to do a
big U turn to continue chasing that car and went

(02:16):
straight into the side of my father's car, which then
hit my car and.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Wrote both cars off.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Finally we heard from the wreckers that someone had come
and picked up the car and taken it to their
yard to be like assess, Oh, how much do you
think it cost? I'd say the car got moved two
weeks ago from a wreckers twenty eighth of April through
to about two week weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (03:01):

like you know sitting in the yard? Oh? Is it

twelve twelve thousand dollars. What twelve thousand dollars they had
