But yeah, it 214 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: was just that school group that did cause a few issues. 215 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, you would have got away with it. 216 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: If it was middling kids coming from out of town 217 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: to watch the America's Cup. 218 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 4: Should take it, should take a quick break and then 219 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 4: come back on. Here's more ill advised promos. 220 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: I've got so many. 221 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: Does anything stick out from your time in Wellington? Any 222 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 4: Wellington promos? That right? 223 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: Obviously there's the body building. 224 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: Oh no, there was one big one that win a 225 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: rye was when we decided to do the Great New 226 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: Zealand Caravan Race. So what this was was we commande 227 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: had five caravans and the idea was you had to 228 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: hitchhike with your caravan from in the cargo to Auckland. 229 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: So people have to pull up and hit your trailer. 230 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you've got to not only you have to 231 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: hitch a ride, you've got to convince them to then 232 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: put a put a caravan on the back. 233 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: Many people came to do that. Yeah, there was ten. 234 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: Grand prize, ten grand cash and max and we had 235 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: but I mean to pick you up with the trailer. Yeah, 236 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: there was quite a few because it was alive on 237 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: the radio, so people knew they were coming. And you're 238 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: only allowed to tow them for a maximum of two 239 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: hours and then you had to drop them off again. 240 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: And so we had to have every there was people 241 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: in Peers and then we had an observer with them 242 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: that was making sure they were following the rules. So 243 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: great idea. The great news on caravan race. You know 244 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: people were like hiding their caravan and the lay by 245 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: hitchhike and then wheeling it out putting it on the 246 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: back of cass. 247 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 4: I had had a couple of German tourists to a 248 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 4: similar trick to me. Yeah, they left the smoke show. 249 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 4: German tourist out on the side of and then two 250 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 4: dudes pop up out of a bush. 251 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, well this good. This had a disastrous start. So 252 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: we put the caravans on the back of a train 253 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: from I think we sourced them from Topol, which is 254 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: a big caravan hub. Apparently, stuck them on a train 255 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: all the way down to in Chicago and they got 256 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: unloaded down there. We met them down there, We flew 257 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: a run down, gave them a briefing the night before 258 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: we'd have to get to to the sky tower. Yeah, 259 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: and the hike with a caravan and it couldn't have 260 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: gone off to a worse start. So all the teams 261 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: were central in for cargo. They all seemed to get 262 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: rides pretty easily. And then the sky pulled up in 263 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: this old white Ford Falcon that was lowered, the towbar 264 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: was just about on the floor and picked up these 265 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: these two winners and they departed and I was like, oh, okay, 266 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how that's going to got. 267 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: A bad vibe from him. 268 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a bad vibe from that. And then 269 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: an hour later I got a phone call from the 270 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: guy that was working for is the Observer, and he goes, 271 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: we've got a problem we've got a problem. It's flipped. 272 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: And I was like what what He goes it's flipped, 273 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh shit. So I got in 274 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: the was for Zidium at the time. I got on 275 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: the Zidim thunder and I left of the cargol and 276 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: I just immediately hit a massive line of traffic that 277 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: I was and so I thought it so I went 278 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: on the wrong side of the road and I just 279 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: drove on the wrong side of the road. So I 280 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: knew that because I was on the phone to him. 281 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Came over the bridge. The hell and I don't know 282 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: if you've seen what happens to a caravan when it 283 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: was involved in a crash. It disintegrated. 284 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's made out of bolts of wood. 285 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: So there's this there's this ford falcon. It's jackknife down 286 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: a hill. So it's gone down the hill too fast 287 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: and lost. The back of the caravan started swaying and 288 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: then at jackknife flipped the caravan. The caravan has disintegrated 289 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: all over the road. Sudden, Were they in the caravan? No, No, 290 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: they were in the car They were a bit shaken, obviously, 291 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: but shaken. But you know, no social media back then, 292 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: so you just got I just talked to the fire 293 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: bagade there. They swept everything to the side. I checked 294 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: the winners in the back of my thunder dramed to 295 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: the airport, flew them home, just went everything'll be fine 296 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: and yeah, and then had to carry on the rest 297 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: of them because the other four teams were leaguing it 298 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: to christ so I had to catch up to them 299 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: and then just worry about dealing with the insurance issues 300 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: of this caravan. Brand new caravan too, a brand new 301 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: and just completely totaled within the first ten minutes of 302 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: the Was it a promo for caravans, No, it wasn't it. 303 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: Al and P sponsored it. It was the L and 304 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: P Great Great New Zealand Caravan Race. 305 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 3: And I think it's a long way, like it's a 306 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 3: long way to drive from the cargo to Auckland. Yeah, 307 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 3: to get a caravan, how long did it take a week? 308 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: They had a week to do it, so they did it. 309 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: I think they did it in four days. They got 310 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: they got to the sky tower. You had to knock 311 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: off at six o'clock every night, so we didn't have 312 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: any night driving or anything. So it was a purely 313 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: daytime activity and. 314 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 2: Just get dropped off wherever you are and sleep in 315 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: the caravan. 316 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we would mainly get him to the Senescen put 317 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: Off motel and stuff. But yeah, that was a complete 318 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: and utter disaster dealing with it. So ringing the caravan 319 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: company and saying, hey, you know that one of the 320 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: caravan you gave is it's disintegrated on the side of 321 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: the road just north of Thembicago. 322 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 2: I just had a nightcaps there was the. 323 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: Red Yeah, that could have gone real bed.

Yeah, it 327 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: sounds like such a good idea, but as you found out, 328 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 3: it can go really badly wrong. 329 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: Get there in first gear?
