Speaker 2: I want to firstly, I want to send our deepest

39
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: apologies to our great sponsors in a midso making nano

40
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: tailored oils. Sorry for the wait, guys. I wasn't actually

41
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: going to mention this because I thought, fuck, here we go.

42
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: This will be laid on me and Pavlo will never

43
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: let me forget it. But your boy had cataract surgery.

44
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: Oh lovely. It looked just like every other ninety year old.

45
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: That's right. I didn't see that on the cars very well.

46
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: Explains why I'm taking the blue pills at thirty nine.

47
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: I don't get it, but I think I know what

48
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: it is.

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sure, So that's kind of went on. That required

50
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: a little bit of arrest and a few weeks off,

51
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: and then you went. You went traveling. God, you waste

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: some fucking money, like you really waste a lot of

53
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: time and a lot of money, just piss farting around

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: all over the world just looking at barely interesting cars.

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

56
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 5: Look, I'm like Greta Thunberg. I care for the environment,

57
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 5: but I fly everywhere on jets.

58
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. The similarities between you and a

59
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: seventeen year old girl, You've probably got the same sized tits.

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: So what have you been? What have you been up to?

61
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: Well, before we talk about that, what just I'll show

62
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: a little bit of interest. How do they do your

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 4: eye thing? Like they've cut it or.

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so things have been Oh my god, do you

65
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: know what? I knew things were going downhill when I

66
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 2: saw some of our reels and I was like, yeah,

67
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: I gotta wonder why I'm having fucking glass new glasses

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: every three months. And they looked properly like that man

69
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: is sight impaired. And that probably explains why half of

70
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: the cars I quite liked, because I could see them properly.

71
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah. It involves everyone's like, oh, do

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: you get lassic or something? Do you get Lassic made?

73
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: Do you get lassick which is something to do with

74
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: like laser eye surgery. It's basically the basic bitches get it,

75
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: and you can pretty much see within that afternoon. This

76
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: is they're cutting stuff out and they're sucking it up

77
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: with a little vacuum and they're putting new stuff in.

78
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: I basically got old man tit implants.

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: But for me, eyes, wow, that's that's crazy. So can

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: you actually see now?

81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: You can see? Yeah, I can see you pretty damn well. Yeah, wow,

82
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: that's good.

83
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: We won't talk about don't go near any mirrors, I think,

84
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: just for the moment.

85
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So quickly fill me in. What's been going on

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: with your life? I'll pretend I care. Yeah, I've just.

87
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: Been What have I been doing? So?

88
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 5: I went to the Middle East for a forward event

89
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 5: to drive some raptors, and one of the journalists decided

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: to drive one of the raptors on the roof in

91
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: the sand dunes. So that was a short lived exercise

92
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 5: for him. So that was that was fun?

93
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: Was that one of your people? No?

94
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 5: No, I know to slow down when I approach a

95
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 5: giant june that has like no clear ending to it.

96
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 4: Then what else do I do? After that? Oh my god,

97
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 4: I've been I've been doing I don't actually know.

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: Well you, yeah, you went to you went to the

99
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: Middle East Africa. Yeah, you went to South Africa with

100
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: the EV.

101
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: Was the y.

102
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 5: Yes, the JCU J seven shs. What a mouthful. So yeah,

103
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 5: basically went.

104
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: To Caridtown live just wiped him out.

105
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so went to Cape Town and drove twelve hundred

106
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 5: k's in this It was like an economy challenge to

107
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 5: see whether we could do the basic twelve hundred kilometers.

108
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: With a full charge plus a sixty lead to take

109
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 4: a fuel.

110
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: And it was great until people started taking it a

111
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 5: little too seriously and there were some numpties from some

112
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 5: countries that basically because it was an international event that

113
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 5: we're doing like sixty k's an hour on motorways and

114
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, that's just dumb.

115
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 4: So we just went whatever, we'll just do to the

116
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 4: speed limit.

117
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 5: So we lost that, but we got there at the

118
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 5: end and had to sit around and wait for everyone

119
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 5: every single day because they were just going so slow.

120
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 4: But anyway, the car itself is quite nice.

121
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 5: So it's coming to Australia like very soon under fifty

122
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 5: thousand dollars drive away.

123
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: It's incredible.

124
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: These things are so cheap like it is. I just

125
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 5: don't understand how they make money. It's it's pretty pretty unreal.

126
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: So these are kind of like the bougie version of

127
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: the Cherry group, right, these are the if you're looking at, say,

128
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: say a Cherry Emota five. For a little bit more cash,

129
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: you could get the Jaku, which I've seen. They look

130
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: really nice. They obviously haven't driven one, but they look

131
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: great even even that's pre cataracts, by the way.

132
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of like a weird one. They in

133
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: South Africa.

134
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 5: Cherry is the entry level, then a Moota is its

135
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 5: own brand, and so is Jacu. So Emoto Jacu are

136
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 5: kind of like their own separate thing, and then Cherry

137
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 5: is the entry level, so it is like the sort

138
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 5: of premium outfit. And yeah, look over there that the

139
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 5: market is so interesting over there. So basically any car

140
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 5: that isn't built in South Africa, because unlike Australia, they

141
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 5: actually still have a car industry that builds things, any

142
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 5: car that isn't built in South Africa has like a

143
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 5: thirty or thirty five percent tariff on it. So over there,

144
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 5: and a Mode of five is like a seventy thousand

145
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: dollar car, which is crazy. So and it competes with

146
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 5: like German cars it's such a strange, strange setup. So

147
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 5: the car market over there is really expensive, beautiful place.

148
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 5: Love Cape Town, love that sort of western cape. Spend

149
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 5: some time in Johannesburg as well, so yeah, it's a

150
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 5: pretty awesome country. So we'd love to go back there

151
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 5: and do some more sight seeing and stuff like that

152
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 5: that isn't work related.

153
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: What do you think about the JQU I mean, twelve

154
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: hundred k's is pretty bloody decent when you think about it, like, yeah,

155
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: look for a fifty thousand dollars car too.

156
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 4: It was good. I think.

157
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 5: The only downside is it has an immense amount of

158
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 5: power and talk, but it's front wheel drive, so it

159
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 5: talk steers like unbelievably, so it be a bit of

160
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 5: a handful. So yeah, it's it's one of those ones

161
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 5: that's that's a bit on edge a lot of the time.

162
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: But I think that's something they can improve with a

163
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 5: bit of software tweaking. They're also doing. They have a

164
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 5: Motor C nine, which is like a coupe style thing.

165
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: The plug in hybrid version of that car is like

166
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 5: a thousand meters of talk. It's a tri motor set up.

167
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: It's a really cool thing. Looks fantastic as well. So

168
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 5: I don't know if we're getting that in Australia. Hopefully

169
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 5: we do, but that would that would do some serious

170
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 5: damage to some sports cars in Australia, like it would

171
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 5: be very fast.

172
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey with the Raptors, I meant to

173
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: ask you about this. They didn't really they didn't. You

174
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: guys weren't driving like a facelift of one or anything

175
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: like that. It was fairly standard.

176
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 5: Yes, we drove Ranger Raptor, Bronco Raptor and F one

177
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 5: fifty Raptor. I've actually just today and by the time

178
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 5: this guy's live, it will have been released. Checked out

179
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 5: the range of super Duty, So that is something that

180
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 5: is that has come and that thing looks unreal like it's.

181
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: Basically it's a raptified wide super Duty.

182
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 5: Effectively, super Duty is the brand name they give vehicles

183
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 5: in the States under the F series that are basically

184
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 5: capable of doing crazy stuff. So Australia's super Duty will

185
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 5: have forty five hundred kilo towing capacity forty five hundred

186
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: kilo GVM eight thousand kilo gcm, like it is going

187
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 5: to be an absolute whopper of a thing. So I

188
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 5: think that it will. It'll do some serious damage to

189
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 5: seventy Series. Have gone to town on fitting the entire

190
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 5: range with all the safety equipment that fleets need. It'll

191
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 5: be powered exclusively by V six diesel.

192
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: So I love it.

193
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 5: It looks absolutely unreal. I think they're going to sell

194
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 5: a bucket load of them.

195
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeahs that got the Raptor engine in it too.

196
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 5: No, so it'll just be V six diesel. And what

197
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 5: I can do so you guys can see what it

198
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 5: looks like. Actually, I don't know how I'm going to

199
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 5: do that. You say, if I can share my screen

200
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 5: just for your info?

201
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: Shit? Yeah? Cool. So this is the Super Duty yep.

202
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, no facelift or anything for Ranger.

203
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: And if you look at the timeline of when Super

204
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 5: Duty is coming, it'll be twenty twenty six. And the

205
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 5: car that we saw and that has been released is

206
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 5: basically going to be the face of the car through

207
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six, So it means we probably won't see

208
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 5: a facelift for Ranger until mid to late twenty six

209
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 5: twenty seven, which is interesting.

210
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: It's a weird strategy, but I guess it kind of

211
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: makes sense.

212
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they're still selling well. So the super

213
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 2: Duty we don't know pricing and we don't know when

214
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: we can chuck orders down.

215
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: Yet, so orders are good to go.

216
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 5: Production they say will be in twenty twenty six. They

217
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: haven't said exactly when, but this will this will be expensive.

218
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 5: I think what they've said is the fleets they interviewed

219
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 5: will basically buy something like a seventy series will then

220
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: go and spend like fifteen twenty grand doing GVM upgrades.

221
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 5: So what they're looking to do is say, hey, you

222
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 5: can actually buy a complete product that's covered by warranty

223
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 5: and it'll be ready to go in your fleet.

224
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 4: You just chuck all your stuff on it and bops

225
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 4: your uncle.

226
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 5: So I think that they're going to have a slightly

227
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 5: higher asking price and it'll be probably justified given what

228
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 5: it's capable of doing front rear dif locks, like it

229
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 5: is going to be a seriously chunky machine.

230
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: I actually got female cataract implants put in and so

231
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: now so.

232
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 4: You identify as a deaf blind woman.

233
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: I'm also going trans cultural, so I'm a proud black

234
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: American death blond woman. So my old man gets his

235
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: car stolen, but not in the traditional way. So a

236
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: fairly new Merk. I won't say exactly which model it was.

237
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: It was about twelve months old. He just really just

238
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: bought it without test driving this thing. Then he started

239
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: driving it, didn't like it, so he just kept it

240
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: in his garage. He just he does this from time

241
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: to time. But he's always loved Merks. He's always had

242
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 2: a Merk. And anyway, so twelve months went by, he

243
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: had this car in his garage, thought I'm just gonna

244
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: sell it. Put it on the market for eighty thousand.

245
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 2: These guys came around and one guy stayed in the car,

246
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: and the other guy came around, test drove it, said yeap,

247
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: I'll buy it, had a bit of a look around

248
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: and bought the car for eighty thousand. Dad looked in

249
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: his account on the phone, and the money on his

250
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: phone on his phone, on Dad's phone, and it went

251
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: in through combank. It went into his Combank cap it

252
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: wasn't pending, it had cleared. It was there and the

253
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: guy drove off with the with the car.

254
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: Solomn one more question. So when he checked his phone,

255
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 5: was that on the day or was that at a

256
00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 5: later date?

257
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that was the day Dad handed the

258
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: keys over because the money was cleared, it was immediate,

259
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: it was in there. He had something on his phone

260
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: to say, hey, you're eighty thousand dollars overdrawn. He's like what,

261
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: so then he goes yeah. So this time he goes

262
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: to his computer and he checks, he checks his bank details.

263
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: There eighty thousand out. So he calls the bank and

264
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: he's like, what's going on? Like his's worry was this

265
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: guy has taken not only the eighty thousand he paid,

266
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: but eighty thousand dollars out of his account. So not

267
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: the case. So basically, this guy had put the money

268
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: in somehow had managed to kind of go ooh, so

269
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: I made a mistake or whatever and withdrew the cash

270
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: later on or the money wasn't good. It bounced. So

271
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: even though in his app it said it was clear

272
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: on the computer, it was a different story. Combank never

273
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: picked up on it. And that was that. But here's

274
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: where it gets just full on. Immediately when he found

275
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 2: out that the car had gone missing, obviously, he called

276
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: our Victoria police detectives came around. In an instant. He

277
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: called Mercedes Benz because these cars have a tracking system

278
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: inside them. Right, so soon as the detectives found out

279
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: that this was a Mercedes and a fairly new one.

280
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: They just they decided to care.

281
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. They they immediately just kind of sighed and said,

282
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: this is going to be some work. They're traditionally not

283
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: great to deal with. So everyone calls Mercedes to find

284
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: out where this car is. Can you track it and

285
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: start tracking the car? Please find out what's going on.

286
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: Even these detectives from Victoria Police, even with their authority,

287
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: couldn't get Mercedes Benz to turn this GPS system on,

288
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: couldn't put the tracking department on. Emails were sent back

289
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: and forth. Phone calls were sent back and forth direct

290
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: from these detectives to Mercedes. My parents there, Everyone's like, yes, permission,

291
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: please just turn it on. This should have been a

292
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: five in a job. This should have been an immediate thing.

293
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: Two days later, they still wouldn't turn the thing on.

294
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: Victoria Police are just pulling their hair out with this.

295
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: Mercedes Benz were asking for emails, and I've seen the

296
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: emails and by the way, I may publish them because

297
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: they are pathetic and they're so far off where they

298
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: should be with this. There were automated replies in these emails.

299
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: They were cut and pace jobs. They were just getting

300
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: bounced around. It was absolute circus. So that's two days,

301
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: one week goes past, Mercedes Benz still haven't switched on

302
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: the tracking system.

303
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

304
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at these emails too, by the way,

305
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: from the detectives saying, as a matter of priority, turn

306
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: this thing on. It needs to go on. We're trying

307
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: to track this car. Mercedes Benz did everything they could

308
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: to not cooperate. Two weeks, two weeks go past, this

309
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: thing still wasn't on. And you're also at this point

310
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: you're also dealing with insurance companies because you can't find

311
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: the car, and because Mercedes Benz aren't coming to the

312
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: party with the tracking system. It's kind of like, is

313
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: this fraud? Is this theft? The police treated this as

314
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: a robbery the entire time, so there was that. But

315
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: eventually they got onto somebody who said, we can turn

316
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: this GPS on right now, you just need to download

317
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: the app.

318
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 4: Oh my god, so serious.

319
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: So then dad, who by the way, my dad is

320
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: seventy five years old. He's not good with this sort

321
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: of stuff and neither should he have to be right,

322
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: He's like, oh god, all right, fine, I'll download this app,

323
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: download this app. And then they're like, oh no, you

324
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: have to pay for it, you have to pay a membership.

325
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: He's fine, I'll pay the thirty five bucks. Then oh

326
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: my god, pays for that. Everything's good to go. This

327
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: is now by a separate it's by a tracking company.

328
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: It's by an app slash tracking company that works for

329
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: Mercedes Benz. I think they called Gauge three sixty, right.

330
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: So Dad's on the phone to this woman from Gauge

331
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 2: three sixty, from the Gauge three sixty app, and she said, yeah, look.

332
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: This was twenty four hours later. Yeah, look, still can't

333
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: get Oh wait, yeah, it looks like you wouldn't believe it.

334
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: It's actually pinging. We've found the car. Do you know

335
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: where the car was? Where the car the GPS tracker

336
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 2: was going off at the Mercedes Benz dealership he bought

337
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: it from.

338
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 5: What hmmm.

339
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: What Yeah. So to this to this day as we

340
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: record this, the car still hasn't been found. The detectives

341
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: don't know if it's at that dealership. We don't know

342
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: if Mercedes put the tracking system in the car. We

343
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: don't know if it's where it is. It could be

344
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: in pieces in a shipping container. It's probably in another country.

345
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: It could be out of wreckers, who knows. But as

346
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: the detective said, Mercedes Benz have failed to cooperate in

347
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: every single way and it's to the point where they've

348
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: obstructed the course of justice. They're negligent and it's just

349
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: an absolute joke. It is an absolute joke Mercedes Benz have.

350
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 4: It is insane have let.

351
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: Them down in such a big way and no apology,

352
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. It's incredible. I tried to wring them myself

353
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: and it was just it was a brick wall. It

354
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: was incredible. It was absolutely incredible.

355
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 5: So's that's insane because what happens is when you buy

356
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 5: one of these cars, it comes with the app that

357
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 5: you activate through Mercedes Me or whatever the new system is,

358
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 5: and basically it's ready to go straight away.

359
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 4: You can't if you don't have the car.

360
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 5: You can't activate the app because it has to send

361
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 5: like a confirmation code to the car. So this whatever

362
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 5: this other thing is, it must be some third party

363
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 5: device that they fit to these cars or something. It's

364
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: that is so bizarre. So has anyone gone to that

365
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 5: dealership to go, hey, is this car here?

366
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: At this exact moment in time, we don't know where

367
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: the car is. Luckily Dad has kind of got his

368
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: money back from insurance and he's bought another car, not

369
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: a Mercedes. The guy is seventy five years old. He's

370
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: going through cancer treatment, not that that should matter, but

371
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: he shouldn't have to deal with the absolute shit storm

372
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: that has come out with this. It's it's so just

373
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: unfairmed lost.

374
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 4: I'm lost for words. That is insane.

375
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 5: So the guys that took the car, did he take

376
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 5: their license details or anything like that.

377
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe so. They just are probably fake they

378
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: were Yeah, that exactly. They think it was a fake license.

379
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: In fact, they got there in a stolen car. The

380
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 2: car remained at the front of our house.

381
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 4: Ah, oh my god.

382
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 5: I I just don't have any words. That is insane.

383
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 5: That is incredible. You could imagine. I'm a member of

384
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 5: the Stolen Cars Facebook pages for all this content we've

385
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 5: been doing. There are so many Mercedes Benzes that are

386
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 5: getting stolen, so there must be some ability for these

387
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 5: thieves to take the cars or remotely disable.

388
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 4: These tracking systems.

389
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 5: It's alarming how many cars are getting stolen at the

390
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 5: moment by what looked to be not very smart people.

391
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 5: So if anyone can do it, you then wonder the

392
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 5: actual criminals, Like these guys probably sound like they're a

393
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: bit more sophisticated.

394
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 4: It just shows you how much of this would be

395
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 4: going on that isn't really reported.

396
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: And the detective said, like, straight up, this is you know,

397
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: the amount of time that they had to spend on

398
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: the phone and write emails is such a waste of

399
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: their time and resources. When people like these car companies

400
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: like Mercedes Benz just wouldn't cooperate, that is crazy.

401
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 4: I don't even know what to say. That's insane.

402
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: Anything fun that you've while we're chowing down on pizza,

403
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: anything fun that you've driven lately, anything that's kind of

404
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: tickled your ridiculously small Croatian pickle.

405
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, to drove the new M five, Yeah, yeah, that was,

406
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 5: you know what. I spent quite a bit of time

407
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 5: in it the first five days or so. I really

408
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 5: disliked it, mainly because I drove it in and around

409
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 5: town and all that sort of stuff, and the whole

410
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 5: thing made no sense to me. They've increased the mass

411
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 5: by like five hundred kilos. It's slower than the old one,

412
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 5: it's got a plug in hybrid system for what reason

413
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 5: is beyond me, So instead of it actually sounding like anything,

414
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 5: the electric thing just runs the whole time. You have

415
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 5: to manually switch the engine on to get it to

416
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 5: do anything. And it's like, well, I would just buy

417
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 5: a fast electric car if I wanted a fast electric

418
00:21:58,880 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: I don't need this thing.

419
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 4: It's like a bit of both.

420
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 5: So my entire thought on it changed though, because we

421
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 5: went to do the filming at the proving ground and

422
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 5: when you actually have it set up in its sport mode,

423
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 5: it is one of the fastest cars I've ever driven.

424
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 4: Like it is phenomenally quick, one thousand meters.

425
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 5: Of talk, and it hides its mass really well, like

426
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 5: it weighs well over too.

427
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 4: I think it's like two and a half tons or something.

428
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 5: It is an enormous vehicle, but it doesn't feel that

429
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 5: heavy behind the wheel, and it is so fast, but

430
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 5: it just misses that raw emotion. It doesn't have a

431
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 5: very loud exhaust. From that point of view, it wasn't great.

432
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 5: But yeah, once you are up it is, it is

433
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 5: moving incredibly and then you can switch it to tool

434
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 5: drive mode as well, where you're basically getting all thousand

435
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 5: meters to the rear wheels, which I think is pretty incredible.

436
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, I kind of went away with it thinking,

437
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 5: you know, as a daily I don't love it, but

438
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 5: you can get around the annoying stuff by just forcing

439
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 5: it to be on every time you start it.

440
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 4: But you know, I'm in two minds.

441
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 5: You would just go buy a secondhand previous generation M

442
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: five that's cheaper and faster and insert every other reason here.

443
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 2: Basically, for me, BMW's have always had that dinosaur reputation

444
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: like you can't really properly engage and fill the road

445
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: until you get over one hundred k's in those things.

446
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: I do wonder what the point of having this in

447
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: a hybrid is. I mean, realistically, would that be a

448
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: like an admission? Are they trying to meet admissions targets

449
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 2: with their flight it's the.

450
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 5: Woe idiots in Europe that are forcing this kind of stuff,

451
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 5: And it's actually remarkable that BMW's M engineers have been

452
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 5: able to create such a sort of visceral fire breathing

453
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 5: machine out of this, because it has every right to

454
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 5: be a complete dud, but that they've done a good

455
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 5: job with it on a limit handling point of view,

456
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 5: So I think that from that point of view, it's great,

457
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 5: but that you know, these stupid laws are just forcing

458
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 5: manufacturers just make these stupid decisions. And the issue that

459
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 5: I've got is that surely with these laws, they don't

460
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 5: sell millions of M five's, So why can't you just

461
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 5: have a model line of sports cars that has just

462
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 5: a V eight engine without all the plug in hybrid malarkey, Like,

463
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 5: why can that just not be a thing. Why do

464
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 5: we have to just hybridize everything and electrify at all?

465
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 5: There was nothing wrong with the way that it was.

466
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: So I think these manufacturers have their hands tied behind

467
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 2: their backs, you know what I mean, Like they've they've

468
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 2: kind of got to do it. They're under the they're

469
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: under the constraints of meeting laws, so well the spinning

470
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: unless they were smart about their fleet, like you said,

471
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: I mean, they could have eighty percent of their fleet

472
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: hybrid or EV and then ten percent ice, twenty percent ice.

473
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, So look, I think there could be a change

474
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 4: that in Australia.

475
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 5: So basically, the ENVEZ as it stands in Australia, the

476
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 5: New Vehicle Efficiency Standard is a big old pilot poop

477
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 5: that will end up costing consumers more for both new

478
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 5: cars and also for all the services that are being

479
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 5: delivered to you by people who have to buy these

480
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 5: cars that are now more expensive. The Liberal Party has

481
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 5: just come out and said that, Well, they haven't come

482
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 5: out and said this, but there is rumor that they

483
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 5: will basically do a U turn on Envez if they're elected,

484
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 5: and it'll mean that we can throw out this nonsense

485
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 5: stuff that they've got in place at the moment that

486
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 5: sees some of Australia's most popular cars already being slugged

487
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 5: with penalties which will end up costing everybody more when

488
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 5: it comes to buying new cars. It's far too soon

489
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 5: for Australia and there just has not been enough time

490
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 5: for manufacturers to actually develop technology that suits these crazy

491
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 5: mandates for cars that simply do not fit the requirements

492
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 5: of what they're asking of.

493
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: Now. I can see Peter Dutton ripping down to Geelong

494
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: in a cop car. There, cop car pulling out the

495
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: front of your house and be like, hey, marek you

496
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: little Pissa, jump on in baby. Why did I make Peter?

497
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: Why don't I make Peter Dutton sound like Trevor Long.

498
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 4: He's just carrying like a washing machine that he's reviewing

499
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 4: that week.

500
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trevor Long in politics. Can you imagine Trevor Long

501
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 2: in politics? Oh what do you mean? Diversity? I'm all

502
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 2: for the LGHT TV plus sixty one in Yeah, I'll

503
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: carry the rainbow flag for the LGHD TV plus, thanks

504
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 2: very much.

505
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 5: But anyway, so look, hopefully the right party wins and

506
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 5: we can get rid of this nonsense stuff.

507
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of fun little drives, I drove a Landrover Defender

508
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: Sodona Reddy dish down. No, it did not break down.

509
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: They're stunning. God, they are fucking stunning.

510
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 4: Like they are. They're very nice.

511
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: Driving one of these is like the first time you

512
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: get into business class. Remember that? Can you remember that?

513
00:26:59,359 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 4: Like that?

514
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 2: Every first time? I know it's been many business class

515
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: troops for you.

516
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 4: But they all feel the same to me.

517
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: Yeah. Can you remember that first time you went from

518
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: the back of the plane, which was probably when you

519
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: were migrating to the very when you got off the

520
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 2: little crate where all the chickens and the cows and

521
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 2: stuff were, and all that sort of stuff, and someone

522
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: feeding you like a bowl of bush, and you that

523
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: first time you got to the front of the plane.

524
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: That is what this car feels like, but the.

525
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: Plane got to the destination.

526
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 5: I've just heard some absolute horror stories with land Driver

527
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 5: and rain Driver products to the point where I just

528
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 5: cannot recommend them to anyone if you want to own

529
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 5: them outside of the warranty period.

530
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they're probably the most financially sensible decision,

531
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: but you don't buy ironically the Defender.

532
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 5: Actually, it's its value really well, so well it has

533
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 5: up until recently because they still had a lot of

534
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 5: production delays on them. But I don't know, they just

535
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 5: still have not managed to iron out electrical issues, engine problems.

536
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 5: I just hear way too many stories from people who

537
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 5: get in touch with problems that they have and I

538
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 5: don't know, first as good as they are, you look

539
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 5: at the purpose of a Defender to go to the

540
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 5: middle of nowhere, to towse something to the middle of nowhere.

541
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 5: There is no way I'd take one of those to

542
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 5: the middle of nowhere, Like I would just be too

543
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 5: concerned about it not coming back.

544
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm overreacting.

545
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you are your little pussy bitch. This

546
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: is this is I loved it so Dona red side

547
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 2: storage box, you know, just everything in it. And had

548
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: to me how much was it?

549
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: And don't say any more than one hundred and ten thousand, twenty.

550
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: Two inch gloss black wheels. I'll keep going. The suede headliner.

551
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: Do we talk about the do we talk about the

552
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: windsor leather in this car?

553
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 4: Yeah? All right, go and hit me how much?

554
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 2: Did I talk about the Meridian sound system?

555
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 4: This is sounding very expensive?

556
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: I did say it's got the body colored spare wheel cover.

557
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean, that is that's what you want. That's primo. Yeah,

558
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: that's what you're paying for. Really, they offered me a deal. Well,

559
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: this is the thing they were talking about around about

560
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: the one hundred and ninety thousand, which I was like,

561
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: how much?

562
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: But get far?

563
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, not a chance, but I think these are higher.

564
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 4: No, which engine is it?

565
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:32,239
Speaker 5: The V eight?

566
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

567
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 5: Okay that's super charged V eight Then okay, fair enough,

568
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 5: but that's no. I would just not be buying that.

569
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: But anyway, did I mention the blacked out wheel archers?

570
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 4: You've worked with it a Mitsu before at their launch event? Right?

571
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: I did? I did, mate. I went to their launch event.

572
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: I am seated. Actually, your boy, m seed. It hosted

573
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: the whole thing, very nice, delicious Japanese restaurant. But I'm

574
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: really impressed. I'm really impressed. These guys have been leaders

575
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 2: in oil innovation for over a century. You know, they're

576
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: the ones trusted by Toyota and Mazda to deliver precision

577
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: engineered oils straight from the factory, and now now they

578
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: are bringing the same expertise to ossie drivers. What stood

579
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: out to you the most, well, a lot did, actually, Pavlo,

580
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: thank you for asking that non prompted question, and it

581
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: was their nanotailored oil, which is why we're here, because

582
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: this stuff is next level. And now they don't just

583
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: make generic who ha products. No, no, not these guys.

584
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: Every formula is designed with purpose. For example, let me

585
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: tell you something. The IFG three, Oh, this stuff is

586
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: perfect for city driving. This is what you want for

587
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: city driving. This is your stop start traffic, the stuff

588
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: that puts stress on your engine. But then there's the

589
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: IFG seven This is the stuff for your beast. Pavlay

590
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: the high performance vehicles seven layers of protection. Seven I

591
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: sound a bit New Zealand siven layers of protection. Anyway,

592
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: they've got no cleansing tech. It stops oil breakdown and

593
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: it even just sorts it in the harshest conditions. So,

594
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: if you're driving a Japanese car, the IFG five, oh,

595
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: that stuff is build for precision engineered engines. It's offering

596
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: five layers of protection to keep your engine clean and

597
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: running smoothly.

598
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: So that sounds like a lot of attention to detail.

599
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: Oh so much detail, so much I nearly forgot it all.

600
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: But the I OFG seven isn't just oil. Just know that,

601
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: because it's like giving your engine a custom suit of armor,

602
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: like a little massage as well. It doesn't just protect

603
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: your engine, it optimizes performance. If you're into keeping your

604
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 2: car in its absolute best nick possible, this is the

605
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: oil you want.

606
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 4: And now it's easy to get too.

607
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: It is very easy. Are you ready for the longest

608
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: website I've ever had to read? Out?

609
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 4: Here?

610
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: We go au dot in AMTSU slash no no slash

611
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: tailored slashoil dot com. I said it emits you. I said, guys,

612
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: don't give me that. Let's just tell them that if

613
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: they search out it AMIDSU Australia on the Googles, they'll

614
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: find where they're going. You know what I'm saying. They'll

615
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: ship it straight to or no fast, top tier oil

616
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: wherever you are.

617
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 4: OK.

618
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 5: If it's good enough for manufacturers like Toyota and Mazda,

619
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 5: that it sounds.

620
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 4: Good enough for me.

621
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: Hmmmm exactly. You know, with it, AMIDSU, you're getting oil

622
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: that's designed to handle whatever you throw at it. They've

623
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: been trusted for the best part of over one hundred years.

624
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, look it, Amitsu taking you beyond engine protection to

625
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 5: real driving excitement.

626
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: I think I could read that better. You ready it,

627
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: Omitsu taking you beyond engine protection to real driving excitement?

628
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: Was that good?

629
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

630
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 5: That'll do.

631
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: Hey, mg Z has hybrid plus, brand new shape, brand

632
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 2: new kind of bits and pieces, and I've been driving

633
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: it for a long time. It's my it's my long termer.

634
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: As they say in the it's good. It's actually really good.

635
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: I started this as a bit of a family run

636
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: about just doing the normal things, getting to work, picking

637
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: the kid up, all that sort of stuff, as a

638
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: as a run around jesuits. It works great. I will say.

639
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: The biggest plus in this entire car is the fuel consumption.

640
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: As Paul takes out his phone and couldn't care less.

641
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 4: I'd say the big just googling something.

642
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah yourself. Yeah yeah, So I will say

643
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: the big plus in this is the is the fuel consumption.

644
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: I know it's a hybrid and I should expect it,

645
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: but Jesus, it's been so good. It's been really good.

646
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: The white sort of faux leather. It feels a little

647
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: bit fancy. It feels almost like a Janus but just

648
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: a little less Korean. But yeah, it's been Goodish, I

649
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: tell you what. I tell you one thing, like, it's

650
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: got a lot of pluses with this car. Thirty three

651
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: K drive away. What's that? Yeah, exactly, not just in

652
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 2: the name, good pun, thirty three K drive away. It's economical,

653
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: it's zippy, it's punchy, it's a bit like me, and

654
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: it feels nice. But I tell you what. I did

655
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: do a road trip in this, and I texted you

656
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 2: about this, and I was like, what's the deal with

657
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: the random revving at like eighty ninety k's It'll just

658
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: start revving the four thousand like h and it's only

659
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: got a tiny little one point five in it, and

660
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: it's just like and then it'll stop. So look, that's apparently,

661
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: according to the manufacturer. That's to charge the battery a

662
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 2: little bit, the hybrid battery.

663
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 5: But it's basically they had to roll out a fix

664
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 5: because the issue they were having is it has quite

665
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 5: explosive acceleration, like it is pretty quick for what it is.

666
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 5: The problem is you can drain this battery quite fast

667
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 5: and you end up in a situation where it doesn't

668
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 5: have sufficient talque filled to get moving. So they engineered

669
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 5: a fix for it where it will intermittently charge the

670
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 5: battery and top it up so that you do have

671
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 5: that available capacity. So it's a fix to the problem,

672
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 5: but it ends up resulting in those random noises out

673
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 5: of nowhere which are a little intrusive into the cabin.

674
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 4: So I think there's probably a little bit of work

675
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 4: that they can still do to that.

676
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, it was a small car. It was

677
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 2: a small minus to a lot of pluses. I think

678
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: for a family run around, it's economical and yeah, it

679
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: puts a family in a brand new car at thirty

680
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: three k so far, I'm loving it.

681
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 5: I think that's probably the thing for me, Like you

682
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 5: cannot buy anything these days for under fifty grand, like

683
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 5: that you could use in theory as a family car

684
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 5: and new That is so to me. I think the

685
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 5: pricing on these and the other sort of brands in

686
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 5: this segment just show you how much value there is

687
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 5: to be had. They now do I think a ten

688
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 5: year warranty as well? Yeah, don't find new cars with

689
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 5: a ten year warranty. I still find it hilarious that

690
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 5: Porsche still only has a three year warranty. It's like,

691
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 5: do you not believe in your cars at all? How

692
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 5: can these guys do a ten you warranty? You guys

693
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 5: do a three year warranties? Like, what is what am

694
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 5: I missing you?

695
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? It's crazy, but yeah, so far, so good, So far,

696
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 2: so good. I was having a look at your your

697
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: little website. I can't remember the name of it. I

698

Speaker 2: called the Milana, but the people of Milano crack the shits,

00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: and even now jumping on the owners group on Facebook,

752
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: which is massive. I think there's a lot of owners

00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: and I'm starting to see a lot of these on

754
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 2: the road now, so they're really well and truly kind

755
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: of integrating in there's a lot of owners that are

756
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: just putting their hands up and going yeah, we yeah,

757
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 2: it's not going to take a heell. Some guy posted, hey,

Speaker 4: Funny, that's a.

762
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 2: Shame because I look, I saw I saw one driving

763
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 2: in Actually, as you know, they've got a bit of

764
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 2: fantastic they look great on the road, They've got a

765
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 2: real presence to them, and they it's kind of weird

766
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: seeing them because obviously I was in them driving, but

767
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 2: seeing them as somebody else, I guess looking out it's

768
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: they've got a good stance about him, got a really

769
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 2: good presence on the road. As a yeah, they look fantastic.

770
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 2: As a throw about daily it's great. But I mean,

771
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 2: surely you'd want to get this thing on the beach

772
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: or something. Yeah.

773
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 4: Look, I think people have had them on the beach,

774
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 4: you know, with varying degrees of success. But yeah, I

775
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 4: don't know.

776
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 5: It's just one of those things that I think they're

777
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 5: going to have to go back to the drawing board

778
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 5: and just fix some of the stuff that you know,

779
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 5: has gone wrong with it, and then it should be

780
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 5: quite a competent vehicle. But we've also just tested the

781
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 5: Cannon Alpha plug in hybrid, which is just a completely

782
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 5: different operation, Like it actually has a proper a drive

783
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 5: line with an electric motor sandwiched in a much bigger

784
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 5: battery and like, yeah, I don't know. You'll have to

785
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 5: keep an eye out for the content when it goes live.

786
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 2: Questions off the ground, what have we got there?

787
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 3: The main one was what's Paul going to wear now

788
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 3: that Rivers has closed Paul?

789
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 4: Firstly, that's news to me. I didn't know Rivers had

790
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 4: closed can Leaves.

791
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: He's been propping up that joint for years.

792
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 4: So I am wondering what I'm going to do with

793
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 4: my frequent bio points. Secondly, not an issue.

794
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 5: I have quite a comprehensive Rivers wardrobe at home that

795
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 5: will last me through to at least another ten or

796
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 5: fifteen years.

797
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 2: Also, as I told that, as I told that person, yeah,

798
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: I pre ordered Paul twenty of the famous eight pocket shirts.

799
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 2: Oh that's that's a whole in triple extra large. Obviously

800
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: he's not going to run out. What else you got

801
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: a right one of them coming through?

802
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: It says why do high end manufacturers not tell you

803
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 3: how to release their E braks in emergency situations with

804
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 3: BMW and brackets?

805
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 4: Oh that's a good question.

806
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, it's one of those funny ones where a

807
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 5: lot of these cars will now just automatically apply these

808
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 5: E breaks and they'll hide like the release somewhere completely

809
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 5: out of sight and unless you actually go looking for

810
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 5: it and know where it is, like, you're never going

811
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 5: to be able to find it.

812
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 4: But that is a really good point.

813
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 5: And I'm actually thinking to some of the neuroelectric cars

814
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 5: and stuff that have electronic shifters, Like I don't even

815
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 5: know how you would change some of those cars out

816
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 5: of gear, like if the battery goes flat, like it's

817
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 5: to get it out of park. So yeah, I mean

818
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 5: all of this stuff that's advanced, like a Tesla with

819
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 5: the Model three with the rooftop gearshift.

820
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 4: Thing, but do you get that into drive or into neutral?

821
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: Well, there's only one way to find out. Let's break

822
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: down and past it.

823
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 3: The other question was canon alpha or a bid, which

824
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 3: we kind of skimmed on.

825
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 2: We have to wait for Watch this Space.

826
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 4: Yes, watch Watch this Space.

827
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 3: Last one, but who owns the proving ground now?

828
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 5: Still VinFast, the Vietnamese manufacturer. They still haven't sold it.

829
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 5: It's still up for sale though, so if you want

830
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 5: to pass a hat around.

831
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 2: Fun fact, when I was in Vietnam, i stayed in

832
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: the I noticed a lot of who.

833
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 4: He was. One of the.

834
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 2: Greatest is that he was grades cataracts, so spacious, so spacious,

835
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 2: big boot.

836
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 5: No.

837
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: So when I was in Vietnam, I noticed a lot

838
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 2: of vin Fasts at the resort I was staying at,

839
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 2: and they looked quite cool. They had kind of scoops

840
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 2: on the bondo and I was like, ah, vin Fast

841
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 2: all right, And one of the security guards was just

842
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 2: chatting to me about it, and he's like, yeah, they

843
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: were really fast, blah blah blah blah blah. And he said,

844
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: the owner of vin Fast is the guy who owns

845
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 2: this resort, and he goes, you'll probably stacey quite a bit.

846
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: It's his little l little hideaway. You'll probably see him

847
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 2: rolling around.

848
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he is the I think the wealthiest guy

849
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 4: in in Vietnam.

850
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 5: But they actually bought X five and five series platforms

851
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 5: and put LS three engines in them. It was just

852
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 5: these really weird little setup. So yeah, they still ow

853
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 5: the proven going so fun story. They were actually filming

854
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 5: a movie there a couple of weeks ago, so.

855
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 4: They had all it was my movie, it was my

856
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 4: uporn channel, and yeah it was very short. Yeah, yeah.

857
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 2: I was entering in the short film Cans Film Festival

858
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 2: and they wouldn't accept films under two minutes. I'm like,

859
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: well that session I was a bit of a slow coach,

860
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 2: but all right, we should end. Let's go, let's get

861
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: out of here. I've got pizza, deway Paul's got some.

862
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 4: Clothes to pick, trophies to shine.

863
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,720
