<v Speaker 2>of perspects. Okay about yeah, please don't. That's not a

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 2>good angle for you tubs listen, I was going to say.

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 4>And also not great for audio. No, but no one

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 4>can see.

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>It's been a bloody hot minute, hasn't it.

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 4>Where have you been?

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 2>Where have you been?

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 4>Bitch?

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to firstly, I want to send our deepest

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>apologies to our great sponsors in a midso making nano

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 2>tailored oils. Sorry for the wait, guys. I wasn't actually

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 2>going to mention this because I thought, fuck, here we go.

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>This will be laid on me and Pavlo will never

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 2>let me forget it. But your boy had cataract surgery.

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh lovely. It looked just like every other ninety year old.

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>That's right. I didn't see that on the cars very well.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Explains why I'm taking the blue pills at thirty nine.

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't get it, but I think I know what

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 4>it is.

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Sure, So that's kind of went on. That required

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.239
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of arrest and a few weeks off,

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and then you went. You went traveling. God, you waste

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 2>some fucking money, like you really waste a lot of

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>time and a lot of money, just piss farting around

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 2>all over the world just looking at barely interesting cars.

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 5>Look, I'm like Greta Thunberg. I care for the environment,

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 5>but I fly everywhere on jets.

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that's right. The similarities between you and a

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 2>seventeen year old girl, You've probably got the same sized tits.

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 2>So what have you been? What have you been up to?

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, before we talk about that, what just I'll show

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of interest. How do they do your

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 4>eye thing? Like they've cut it or.

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so things have been Oh my god, do you

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>know what? I knew things were going downhill when I

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 2>saw some of our reels and I was like, yeah,

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I gotta wonder why I'm having fucking glass new glasses

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>every three months. And they looked properly like that man

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 2>is sight impaired. And that probably explains why half of

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>the cars I quite liked, because I could see them properly.

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, yeah. It involves everyone's like, oh, do

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 2>you get lassic or something? Do you get Lassic made?

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you get lassick which is something to do with

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 2>like laser eye surgery. It's basically the basic bitches get it,

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and you can pretty much see within that afternoon. This

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>is they're cutting stuff out and they're sucking it up

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>with a little vacuum and they're putting new stuff in.

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I basically got old man tit implants.

0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 4>But for me, eyes, wow, that's that's crazy. So can

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 4>you actually see now?

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>You can see? Yeah, I can see you pretty damn well. Yeah, wow,

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>that's good.

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 4>We won't talk about don't go near any mirrors, I think,

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 4>just for the moment.

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So quickly fill me in. What's been going on

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 2>with your life? I'll pretend I care. Yeah, I've just.

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 4>Been What have I been doing? So?

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 5>I went to the Middle East for a forward event

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 5>to drive some raptors, and one of the journalists decided

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 5>to drive one of the raptors on the roof in

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 5>the sand dunes. So that was a short lived exercise

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 5>for him. So that was that was fun?

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Was that one of your people? No?

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 5>No, I know to slow down when I approach a

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 5>giant june that has like no clear ending to it.

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 4>Then what else do I do? After that? Oh my god,

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 4>I've been I've been doing I don't actually know.

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Well you, yeah, you went to you went to the

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Middle East Africa. Yeah, you went to South Africa with

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>the EV.

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 4>Was the y.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 5>Yes, the JCU J seven shs. What a mouthful. So yeah,

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:12.719
<v Speaker 5>basically went.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 2>To Caridtown live just wiped him out.

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so went to Cape Town and drove twelve hundred

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 5>k's in this It was like an economy challenge to

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 5>see whether we could do the basic twelve hundred kilometers.

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 4>With a full charge plus a sixty lead to take

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 4>a fuel.

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 5>And it was great until people started taking it a

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.600
<v Speaker 5>little too seriously and there were some numpties from some

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 5>countries that basically because it was an international event that

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 5>we're doing like sixty k's an hour on motorways and

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, well, that's just dumb.

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.720
<v Speaker 4>So we just went whatever, we'll just do to the

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 4>speed limit.

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 5>So we lost that, but we got there at the

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 5>end and had to sit around and wait for everyone

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.720
<v Speaker 5>every single day because they were just going so slow.

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.479
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, the car itself is quite nice.

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 5>So it's coming to Australia like very soon under fifty

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 5>thousand dollars drive away.

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 2>It's incredible.

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 5>These things are so cheap like it is. I just

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 5>don't understand how they make money. It's it's pretty pretty unreal.

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 2>So these are kind of like the bougie version of

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the Cherry group, right, these are the if you're looking at, say,

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>say a Cherry Emota five. For a little bit more cash,

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 2>you could get the Jaku, which I've seen. They look

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 2>really nice. They obviously haven't driven one, but they look

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 2>great even even that's pre cataracts, by the way.

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's kind of like a weird one. They in

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 4>South Africa.

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 5>Cherry is the entry level, then a Moota is its

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 5>own brand, and so is Jacu. So Emoto Jacu are

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 5>kind of like their own separate thing, and then Cherry

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.280
<v Speaker 5>is the entry level, so it is like the sort

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 5>of premium outfit. And yeah, look over there that the

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 5>market is so interesting over there. So basically any car

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 5>that isn't built in South Africa, because unlike Australia, they

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.839
<v Speaker 5>actually still have a car industry that builds things, any

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 5>car that isn't built in South Africa has like a

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 5>thirty or thirty five percent tariff on it. So over there,

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 5>and a Mode of five is like a seventy thousand

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 5>dollar car, which is crazy. So and it competes with

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 5>like German cars it's such a strange, strange setup. So

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 5>the car market over there is really expensive, beautiful place.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 5>Love Cape Town, love that sort of western cape. Spend

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 5>some time in Johannesburg as well, so yeah, it's a

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 5>pretty awesome country. So we'd love to go back there

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 5>and do some more sight seeing and stuff like that

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 5>that isn't work related.

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about the JQU I mean, twelve

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred k's is pretty bloody decent when you think about it, like, yeah,

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>look for a fifty thousand dollars car too.

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 4>It was good. I think.

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 5>The only downside is it has an immense amount of

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 5>power and talk, but it's front wheel drive, so it

0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 5>talk steers like unbelievably, so it be a bit of

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 5>a handful. So yeah, it's it's one of those ones

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 5>that's that's a bit on edge a lot of the time.

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 5>But I think that's something they can improve with a

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 5>bit of software tweaking. They're also doing. They have a

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 5>Motor C nine, which is like a coupe style thing.

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 5>The plug in hybrid version of that car is like

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 5>a thousand meters of talk. It's a tri motor set up.

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 5>It's a really cool thing. Looks fantastic as well. So

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.240
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if we're getting that in Australia. Hopefully

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 5>we do, but that would that would do some serious

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 5>damage to some sports cars in Australia, like it would

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 5>be very fast.

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey with the Raptors, I meant to

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 2>ask you about this. They didn't really they didn't. You

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>guys weren't driving like a facelift of one or anything

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 2>like that. It was fairly standard.

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 5>Yes, we drove Ranger Raptor, Bronco Raptor and F one

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 5>fifty Raptor. I've actually just today and by the time

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 5>this guy's live, it will have been released. Checked out

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 5>the range of super Duty, So that is something that

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 5>is that has come and that thing looks unreal like it's.

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 4>Basically it's a raptified wide super Duty.

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 5>Effectively, super Duty is the brand name they give vehicles

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 5>in the States under the F series that are basically

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.719
<v Speaker 5>capable of doing crazy stuff. So Australia's super Duty will

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 5>have forty five hundred kilo towing capacity forty five hundred

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 5>kilo GVM eight thousand kilo gcm, like it is going

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 5>to be an absolute whopper of a thing. So I

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.079
<v Speaker 5>think that it will. It'll do some serious damage to

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 5>seventy Series. Have gone to town on fitting the entire

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 5>range with all the safety equipment that fleets need. It'll

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 5>be powered exclusively by V six diesel.

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 4>So I love it.

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 5>It looks absolutely unreal. I think they're going to sell

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 5>a bucket load of them.

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeahs that got the Raptor engine in it too.

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 5>No, so it'll just be V six diesel. And what

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 5>I can do so you guys can see what it

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 5>looks like. Actually, I don't know how I'm going to

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 5>do that. You say, if I can share my screen

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 5>just for your info?

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Shit? Yeah? Cool. So this is the Super Duty yep.

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no facelift or anything for Ranger.

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 5>And if you look at the timeline of when Super

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.599
<v Speaker 5>Duty is coming, it'll be twenty twenty six. And the

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 5>car that we saw and that has been released is

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 5>basically going to be the face of the car through

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenty six, So it means we probably won't see

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 5>a facelift for Ranger until mid to late twenty six

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 5>twenty seven, which is interesting.

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 4>It's a weird strategy, but I guess it kind of

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 4>makes sense.

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, they're still selling well. So the super

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Duty we don't know pricing and we don't know when

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 2>we can chuck orders down.

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 4>Yet, so orders are good to go.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 5>Production they say will be in twenty twenty six. They

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 5>haven't said exactly when, but this will this will be expensive.

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 5>I think what they've said is the fleets they interviewed

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 5>will basically buy something like a seventy series will then

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 5>go and spend like fifteen twenty grand doing GVM upgrades.

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 5>So what they're looking to do is say, hey, you

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 5>can actually buy a complete product that's covered by warranty

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 5>and it'll be ready to go in your fleet.

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 4>You just chuck all your stuff on it and bops

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 4>your uncle.

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.199
<v Speaker 5>So I think that they're going to have a slightly

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 5>higher asking price and it'll be probably justified given what

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 5>it's capable of doing front rear dif locks, like it

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 5>is going to be a seriously chunky machine.

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I actually got female cataract implants put in and so

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 2>now so.

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 4>You identify as a deaf blind woman.

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm also going trans cultural, so I'm a proud black

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 2>American death blond woman. So my old man gets his

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 2>car stolen, but not in the traditional way. So a

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 2>fairly new Merk. I won't say exactly which model it was.

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>It was about twelve months old. He just really just

0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 2>bought it without test driving this thing. Then he started

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 2>driving it, didn't like it, so he just kept it

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 2>in his garage. He just he does this from time

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to time. But he's always loved Merks. He's always had

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.559
<v Speaker 2>a Merk. And anyway, so twelve months went by, he

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 2>had this car in his garage, thought I'm just gonna

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 2>sell it. Put it on the market for eighty thousand.

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.199
<v Speaker 2>These guys came around and one guy stayed in the car,

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and the other guy came around, test drove it, said yeap,

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll buy it, had a bit of a look around

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 2>and bought the car for eighty thousand. Dad looked in

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 2>his account on the phone, and the money on his

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 2>phone on his phone, on Dad's phone, and it went

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 2>in through combank. It went into his Combank cap it

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>wasn't pending, it had cleared. It was there and the

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 2>guy drove off with the with the car.

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 5>Solomn one more question. So when he checked his phone,

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 5>was that on the day or was that at a

0:12:58.920 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 5>later date?

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, that was the day Dad handed the

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 2>keys over because the money was cleared, it was immediate,

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>it was in there. He had something on his phone

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to say, hey, you're eighty thousand dollars overdrawn. He's like what,

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 2>so then he goes yeah. So this time he goes

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 2>to his computer and he checks, he checks his bank details.

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.319
<v Speaker 2>There eighty thousand out. So he calls the bank and

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 2>he's like, what's going on? Like his's worry was this

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 2>guy has taken not only the eighty thousand he paid,

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 2>but eighty thousand dollars out of his account. So not

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the case. So basically, this guy had put the money

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.679
<v Speaker 2>in somehow had managed to kind of go ooh, so

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I made a mistake or whatever and withdrew the cash

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 2>later on or the money wasn't good. It bounced. So

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 2>even though in his app it said it was clear

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 2>on the computer, it was a different story. Combank never

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 2>picked up on it. And that was that. But here's

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 2>where it gets just full on. Immediately when he found

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.199
<v Speaker 2>out that the car had gone missing, obviously, he called

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 2>our Victoria police detectives came around. In an instant. He

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.320
<v Speaker 2>called Mercedes Benz because these cars have a tracking system

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 2>inside them. Right, so soon as the detectives found out

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 2>that this was a Mercedes and a fairly new one.

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 4>They just they decided to care.

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. They they immediately just kind of sighed and said,

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be some work. They're traditionally not

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 2>great to deal with. So everyone calls Mercedes to find

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 2>out where this car is. Can you track it and

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 2>start tracking the car? Please find out what's going on.

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Even these detectives from Victoria Police, even with their authority,

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get Mercedes Benz to turn this GPS system on,

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>couldn't put the tracking department on. Emails were sent back

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 2>and forth. Phone calls were sent back and forth direct

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 2>from these detectives to Mercedes. My parents there, Everyone's like, yes, permission,

0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 2>please just turn it on. This should have been a

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.240
<v Speaker 2>five in a job. This should have been an immediate thing.

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Two days later, they still wouldn't turn the thing on.

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Victoria Police are just pulling their hair out with this.

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Mercedes Benz were asking for emails, and I've seen the

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 2>emails and by the way, I may publish them because

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 2>they are pathetic and they're so far off where they

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 2>should be with this. There were automated replies in these emails.

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 2>They were cut and pace jobs. They were just getting

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>bounced around. It was absolute circus. So that's two days,

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 2>one week goes past, Mercedes Benz still haven't switched on

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 2>the tracking system.

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god.

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm looking at these emails too, by the way,

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:42.640
<v Speaker 2>from the detectives saying, as a matter of priority, turn

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>this thing on. It needs to go on. We're trying

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 2>to track this car. Mercedes Benz did everything they could

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 2>to not cooperate. Two weeks, two weeks go past, this

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>thing still wasn't on. And you're also at this point

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>you're also dealing with insurance companies because you can't find

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the car, and because Mercedes Benz aren't coming to the

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 2>party with the tracking system. It's kind of like, is

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 2>this fraud? Is this theft? The police treated this as

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.840
<v Speaker 2>a robbery the entire time, so there was that. But

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 2>eventually they got onto somebody who said, we can turn

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>this GPS on right now, you just need to download

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the app.

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, so serious.

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 2>So then dad, who by the way, my dad is

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 2>seventy five years old. He's not good with this sort

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 2>of stuff and neither should he have to be right,

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 2>He's like, oh god, all right, fine, I'll download this app,

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 2>download this app. And then they're like, oh no, you

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 2>have to pay for it, you have to pay a membership.

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>He's fine, I'll pay the thirty five bucks. Then oh

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 2>my god, pays for that. Everything's good to go. This

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>is now by a separate it's by a tracking company.

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 2>It's by an app slash tracking company that works for

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Mercedes Benz. I think they called Gauge three sixty, right.

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 2>So Dad's on the phone to this woman from Gauge

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:15.160
<v Speaker 2>three sixty, from the Gauge three sixty app, and she said, yeah, look.

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 2>This was twenty four hours later. Yeah, look, still can't

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 2>get Oh wait, yeah, it looks like you wouldn't believe it.

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 2>It's actually pinging. We've found the car. Do you know

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 2>where the car was? Where the car the GPS tracker

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:37.120
<v Speaker 2>was going off at the Mercedes Benz dealership he bought

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 2>it from.

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 5>What hmmm.

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>What Yeah. So to this to this day as we

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 2>record this, the car still hasn't been found. The detectives

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it's at that dealership. We don't know

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 2>if Mercedes put the tracking system in the car. We

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it's where it is. It could be

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:03.040
<v Speaker 2>in pieces in a shipping container. It's probably in another country.

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>It could be out of wreckers, who knows. But as

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 2>the detective said, Mercedes Benz have failed to cooperate in

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 2>every single way and it's to the point where they've

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.480
<v Speaker 2>obstructed the course of justice. They're negligent and it's just

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 2>an absolute joke. It is an absolute joke Mercedes Benz have.

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:27.720
<v Speaker 4>It is insane have let.

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Them down in such a big way and no apology,

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.720
<v Speaker 2>absolutely nothing. It's incredible. I tried to wring them myself

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 2>and it was just it was a brick wall. It

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 2>was incredible. It was absolutely incredible.

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 5>So's that's insane because what happens is when you buy

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 5>one of these cars, it comes with the app that

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.680
<v Speaker 5>you activate through Mercedes Me or whatever the new system is,

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:51.880
<v Speaker 5>and basically it's ready to go straight away.

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 4>You can't if you don't have the car.

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 5>You can't activate the app because it has to send

0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 5>like a confirmation code to the car. So this whatever

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 5>this other thing is, it must be some third party

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 5>device that they fit to these cars or something. It's

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 5>that is so bizarre. So has anyone gone to that

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.640
<v Speaker 5>dealership to go, hey, is this car here?

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:15.880
<v Speaker 2>At this exact moment in time, we don't know where

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 2>the car is. Luckily Dad has kind of got his

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 2>money back from insurance and he's bought another car, not

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>a Mercedes. The guy is seventy five years old. He's

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 2>going through cancer treatment, not that that should matter, but

0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:29.879
<v Speaker 2>he shouldn't have to deal with the absolute shit storm

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 2>that has come out with this. It's it's so just

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:34.879
<v Speaker 2>unfairmed lost.

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm lost for words. That is insane.

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.400
<v Speaker 5>So the guys that took the car, did he take

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 5>their license details or anything like that.

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I believe so. They just are probably fake they

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 2>were Yeah, that exactly. They think it was a fake license.

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 2>In fact, they got there in a stolen car. The

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>car remained at the front of our house.

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.360
<v Speaker 4>Ah, oh my god.

0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.880
<v Speaker 5>I I just don't have any words. That is insane.

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.920
<v Speaker 5>That is incredible. You could imagine. I'm a member of

0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 5>the Stolen Cars Facebook pages for all this content we've

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.359
<v Speaker 5>been doing. There are so many Mercedes Benzes that are

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:13.440
<v Speaker 5>getting stolen, so there must be some ability for these

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 5>thieves to take the cars or remotely disable.

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 4>These tracking systems.

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 5>It's alarming how many cars are getting stolen at the

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 5>moment by what looked to be not very smart people.

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 5>So if anyone can do it, you then wonder the

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 5>actual criminals, Like these guys probably sound like they're a

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 5>bit more sophisticated.

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:35.960
<v Speaker 4>It just shows you how much of this would be

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 4>going on that isn't really reported.

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 2>And the detective said, like, straight up, this is you know,

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 2>the amount of time that they had to spend on

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 2>the phone and write emails is such a waste of

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 2>their time and resources. When people like these car companies

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 2>like Mercedes Benz just wouldn't cooperate, that is crazy.

0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know what to say. That's insane.

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Anything fun that you've while we're chowing down on pizza,

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 2>anything fun that you've driven lately, anything that's kind of

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 2>tickled your ridiculously small Croatian pickle.

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, to drove the new M five, Yeah, yeah, that was,

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 5>you know what. I spent quite a bit of time

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 5>in it the first five days or so. I really

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 5>disliked it, mainly because I drove it in and around

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 5>town and all that sort of stuff, and the whole

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.720
<v Speaker 5>thing made no sense to me. They've increased the mass

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:39.200
<v Speaker 5>by like five hundred kilos. It's slower than the old one,

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 5>it's got a plug in hybrid system for what reason

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 5>is beyond me, So instead of it actually sounding like anything,

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:51.280
<v Speaker 5>the electric thing just runs the whole time. You have

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 5>to manually switch the engine on to get it to

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 5>do anything. And it's like, well, I would just buy

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 5>a fast electric car if I wanted a fast electric

0:21:58.880 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 5>I don't need this thing.

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 4>It's like a bit of both.

0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 5>So my entire thought on it changed though, because we

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 5>went to do the filming at the proving ground and

0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:12.120
<v Speaker 5>when you actually have it set up in its sport mode,

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:14.680
<v Speaker 5>it is one of the fastest cars I've ever driven.

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Like it is phenomenally quick, one thousand meters.

0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 5>Of talk, and it hides its mass really well, like

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.120
<v Speaker 5>it weighs well over too.

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 4>I think it's like two and a half tons or something.

0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 5>It is an enormous vehicle, but it doesn't feel that

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 5>heavy behind the wheel, and it is so fast, but

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 5>it just misses that raw emotion. It doesn't have a

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:39.200
<v Speaker 5>very loud exhaust. From that point of view, it wasn't great.

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, once you are up it is, it is

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.439
<v Speaker 5>moving incredibly and then you can switch it to tool

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:46.040
<v Speaker 5>drive mode as well, where you're basically getting all thousand

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 5>meters to the rear wheels, which I think is pretty incredible.

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.080
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, I kind of went away with it thinking,

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 5>you know, as a daily I don't love it, but

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:56.439
<v Speaker 5>you can get around the annoying stuff by just forcing

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 5>it to be on every time you start it.

0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 4>But you know, I'm in two minds.

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:03.359
<v Speaker 5>You would just go buy a secondhand previous generation M

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 5>five that's cheaper and faster and insert every other reason here.

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 2>Basically, for me, BMW's have always had that dinosaur reputation

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.120
<v Speaker 2>like you can't really properly engage and fill the road

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 2>until you get over one hundred k's in those things.

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I do wonder what the point of having this in

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a hybrid is. I mean, realistically, would that be a

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.680
<v Speaker 2>like an admission? Are they trying to meet admissions targets

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:29.679
<v Speaker 2>with their flight it's the.

0:23:29.720 --> 0:23:32.639
<v Speaker 5>Woe idiots in Europe that are forcing this kind of stuff,

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.879
<v Speaker 5>And it's actually remarkable that BMW's M engineers have been

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 5>able to create such a sort of visceral fire breathing

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 5>machine out of this, because it has every right to

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:45.800
<v Speaker 5>be a complete dud, but that they've done a good

0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:48.520
<v Speaker 5>job with it on a limit handling point of view,

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 5>So I think that from that point of view, it's great,

0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 5>but that you know, these stupid laws are just forcing

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.119
<v Speaker 5>manufacturers just make these stupid decisions. And the issue that

0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 5>I've got is that surely with these laws, they don't

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 5>sell millions of M five's, So why can't you just

0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 5>have a model line of sports cars that has just

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 5>a V eight engine without all the plug in hybrid malarkey, Like,

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:14.480
<v Speaker 5>why can that just not be a thing. Why do

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 5>we have to just hybridize everything and electrify at all?

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 5>There was nothing wrong with the way that it was.

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 2>So I think these manufacturers have their hands tied behind

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:26.120
<v Speaker 2>their backs, you know what I mean, Like they've they've

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:29.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of got to do it. They're under the they're

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 2>under the constraints of meeting laws, so well the spinning

0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 2>unless they were smart about their fleet, like you said,

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they could have eighty percent of their fleet

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 2>hybrid or EV and then ten percent ice, twenty percent ice.

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So look, I think there could be a change

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:49.600
<v Speaker 4>that in Australia.

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 5>So basically, the ENVEZ as it stands in Australia, the

0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:59.160
<v Speaker 5>New Vehicle Efficiency Standard is a big old pilot poop

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:02.439
<v Speaker 5>that will end up costing consumers more for both new

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 5>cars and also for all the services that are being

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:09.920
<v Speaker 5>delivered to you by people who have to buy these

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:13.639
<v Speaker 5>cars that are now more expensive. The Liberal Party has

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.199
<v Speaker 5>just come out and said that, Well, they haven't come

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 5>out and said this, but there is rumor that they

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 5>will basically do a U turn on Envez if they're elected,

0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:25.400
<v Speaker 5>and it'll mean that we can throw out this nonsense

0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:27.159
<v Speaker 5>stuff that they've got in place at the moment that

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:31.680
<v Speaker 5>sees some of Australia's most popular cars already being slugged

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:35.760
<v Speaker 5>with penalties which will end up costing everybody more when

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:38.360
<v Speaker 5>it comes to buying new cars. It's far too soon

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:41.120
<v Speaker 5>for Australia and there just has not been enough time

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:46.639
<v Speaker 5>for manufacturers to actually develop technology that suits these crazy

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 5>mandates for cars that simply do not fit the requirements

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:51.639
<v Speaker 5>of what they're asking of.

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Now. I can see Peter Dutton ripping down to Geelong

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:57.159
<v Speaker 2>in a cop car. There, cop car pulling out the

0:25:57.200 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 2>front of your house and be like, hey, marek you

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:05.440
<v Speaker 2>little Pissa, jump on in baby. Why did I make Peter?

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Why don't I make Peter Dutton sound like Trevor Long.

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 4>He's just carrying like a washing machine that he's reviewing

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 4>that week.

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Trevor Long in politics. Can you imagine Trevor Long

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:21.640
<v Speaker 2>in politics? Oh what do you mean? Diversity? I'm all

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:28.400
<v Speaker 2>for the LGHT TV plus sixty one in Yeah, I'll

0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 2>carry the rainbow flag for the LGHD TV plus, thanks

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:34.360
<v Speaker 2>very much.

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 5>But anyway, so look, hopefully the right party wins and

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:40.639
<v Speaker 5>we can get rid of this nonsense stuff.

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of fun little drives, I drove a Landrover Defender

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Sodona Reddy dish down. No, it did not break down.

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.399
<v Speaker 2>They're stunning. God, they are fucking stunning.

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 4>Like they are. They're very nice.

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Driving one of these is like the first time you

0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 2>get into business class. Remember that? Can you remember that?

0:26:59.359 --> 0:26:59.639
<v Speaker 4>Like that?

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Every first time? I know it's been many business class

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 2>troops for you.

0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:06.159
<v Speaker 4>But they all feel the same to me.

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Can you remember that first time you went from

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 2>the back of the plane, which was probably when you

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 2>were migrating to the very when you got off the

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:22.320
<v Speaker 2>little crate where all the chickens and the cows and

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:26.199
<v Speaker 2>stuff were, and all that sort of stuff, and someone

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:32.440
<v Speaker 2>feeding you like a bowl of bush, and you that

0:27:32.760 --> 0:27:34.639
<v Speaker 2>first time you got to the front of the plane.

0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 2>That is what this car feels like, but the.

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 4>Plane got to the destination.

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 5>I've just heard some absolute horror stories with land Driver

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:47.200
<v Speaker 5>and rain Driver products to the point where I just

0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 5>cannot recommend them to anyone if you want to own

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:51.399
<v Speaker 5>them outside of the warranty period.

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think they're probably the most financially sensible decision,

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 2>but you don't buy ironically the Defender.

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:03.680
<v Speaker 5>Actually, it's its value really well, so well it has

0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:05.639
<v Speaker 5>up until recently because they still had a lot of

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:08.320
<v Speaker 5>production delays on them. But I don't know, they just

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:12.680
<v Speaker 5>still have not managed to iron out electrical issues, engine problems.

0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 5>I just hear way too many stories from people who

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 5>get in touch with problems that they have and I

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 5>don't know, first as good as they are, you look

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 5>at the purpose of a Defender to go to the

0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:28.119
<v Speaker 5>middle of nowhere, to towse something to the middle of nowhere.

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:29.639
<v Speaker 5>There is no way I'd take one of those to

0:28:29.680 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 5>the middle of nowhere, Like I would just be too

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:33.640
<v Speaker 5>concerned about it not coming back.

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:36.119
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I'm overreacting.

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you are your little pussy bitch. This

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 2>is this is I loved it so Dona red side

0:28:42.720 --> 0:28:46.479
<v Speaker 2>storage box, you know, just everything in it. And had

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 2>to me how much was it?

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 4>And don't say any more than one hundred and ten thousand, twenty.

0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Two inch gloss black wheels. I'll keep going. The suede headliner.

0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Do we talk about the do we talk about the

0:28:58.280 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 2>windsor leather in this car?

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:01.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? All right, go and hit me how much?

0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:03.719
<v Speaker 2>Did I talk about the Meridian sound system?

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:05.680
<v Speaker 4>This is sounding very expensive?

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:09.360
<v Speaker 2>I did say it's got the body colored spare wheel cover.

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that is that's what you want. That's primo. Yeah,

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 2>that's what you're paying for. Really, they offered me a deal. Well,

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 2>this is the thing they were talking about around about

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 2>the one hundred and ninety thousand, which I was like,

0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 2>how much?

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:25.320
<v Speaker 4>But get far?

0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, not a chance, but I think these are higher.

0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 4>No, which engine is it?

0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:32.239
<v Speaker 5>The V eight?

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 5>Okay that's super charged V eight Then okay, fair enough,

0:29:36.120 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 5>but that's no. I would just not be buying that.

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:42.600
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, did I mention the blacked out wheel archers?

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:48.440
<v Speaker 4>You've worked with it a Mitsu before at their launch event? Right?

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 2>I did? I did, mate. I went to their launch event.

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I am seated. Actually, your boy, m seed. It hosted

0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing, very nice, delicious Japanese restaurant. But I'm

0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 2>really impressed. I'm really impressed. These guys have been leaders

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 2>in oil innovation for over a century. You know, they're

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 2>the ones trusted by Toyota and Mazda to deliver precision

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 2>engineered oils straight from the factory, and now now they

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:17.240
<v Speaker 2>are bringing the same expertise to ossie drivers. What stood

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 2>out to you the most, well, a lot did, actually, Pavlo,

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:24.000
<v Speaker 2>thank you for asking that non prompted question, and it

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:26.680
<v Speaker 2>was their nanotailored oil, which is why we're here, because

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 2>this stuff is next level. And now they don't just

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 2>make generic who ha products. No, no, not these guys.

0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Every formula is designed with purpose. For example, let me

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:41.640
<v Speaker 2>tell you something. The IFG three, Oh, this stuff is

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:43.920
<v Speaker 2>perfect for city driving. This is what you want for

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:47.000
<v Speaker 2>city driving. This is your stop start traffic, the stuff

0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 2>that puts stress on your engine. But then there's the

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:54.040
<v Speaker 2>IFG seven This is the stuff for your beast. Pavlay

0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the high performance vehicles seven layers of protection. Seven I

0:30:58.840 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 2>sound a bit New Zealand siven layers of protection. Anyway,

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>they've got no cleansing tech. It stops oil breakdown and

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 2>it even just sorts it in the harshest conditions. So,

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 2>if you're driving a Japanese car, the IFG five, oh,

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 2>that stuff is build for precision engineered engines. It's offering

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:21.200
<v Speaker 2>five layers of protection to keep your engine clean and

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 2>running smoothly.

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:24.920
<v Speaker 4>So that sounds like a lot of attention to detail.

0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh so much detail, so much I nearly forgot it all.

0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 2>But the I OFG seven isn't just oil. Just know that,

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:35.240
<v Speaker 2>because it's like giving your engine a custom suit of armor,

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:38.320
<v Speaker 2>like a little massage as well. It doesn't just protect

0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 2>your engine, it optimizes performance. If you're into keeping your

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:46.520
<v Speaker 2>car in its absolute best nick possible, this is the

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 2>oil you want.

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 4>And now it's easy to get too.

0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 2>It is very easy. Are you ready for the longest

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:53.800
<v Speaker 2>website I've ever had to read? Out?

0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Here?

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:57.680
<v Speaker 2>We go au dot in AMTSU slash no no slash

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 2>tailored slashoil dot com. I said it emits you. I said, guys,

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 2>don't give me that. Let's just tell them that if

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 2>they search out it AMIDSU Australia on the Googles, they'll

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:10.720
<v Speaker 2>find where they're going. You know what I'm saying. They'll

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 2>ship it straight to or no fast, top tier oil

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 2>wherever you are.

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:15.959
<v Speaker 4>OK.

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:18.400
<v Speaker 5>If it's good enough for manufacturers like Toyota and Mazda,

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 5>that it sounds.

0:32:19.560 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Good enough for me.

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Hmmmm exactly. You know, with it, AMIDSU, you're getting oil

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 2>that's designed to handle whatever you throw at it. They've

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 2>been trusted for the best part of over one hundred years.

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, look it, Amitsu taking you beyond engine protection to

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 5>real driving excitement.

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I think I could read that better. You ready it,

0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Omitsu taking you beyond engine protection to real driving excitement?

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Was that good?

0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 5>That'll do.

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Hey, mg Z has hybrid plus, brand new shape, brand

0:32:56.680 --> 0:33:00.320
<v Speaker 2>new kind of bits and pieces, and I've been driving

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 2>it for a long time. It's my it's my long termer.

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 2>As they say in the it's good. It's actually really good.

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I started this as a bit of a family run

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 2>about just doing the normal things, getting to work, picking

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the kid up, all that sort of stuff, as a

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:20.720
<v Speaker 2>as a run around jesuits. It works great. I will say.

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 2>The biggest plus in this entire car is the fuel consumption.

0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 2>As Paul takes out his phone and couldn't care less.

0:33:29.200 --> 0:33:31.240
<v Speaker 4>I'd say the big just googling something.

0:33:31.080 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, yeah yourself. Yeah yeah, So I will say

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the big plus in this is the is the fuel consumption.

0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I know it's a hybrid and I should expect it,

0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 2>but Jesus, it's been so good. It's been really good.

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:48.520
<v Speaker 2>The white sort of faux leather. It feels a little

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:55.520
<v Speaker 2>bit fancy. It feels almost like a Janus but just

0:33:55.680 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 2>a little less Korean. But yeah, it's been Goodish, I

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 2>tell you what. I tell you one thing, like, it's

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of pluses with this car. Thirty three

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 2>K drive away. What's that? Yeah, exactly, not just in

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the name, good pun, thirty three K drive away. It's economical,

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 2>it's zippy, it's punchy, it's a bit like me, and

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:21.880
<v Speaker 2>it feels nice. But I tell you what. I did

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:24.719
<v Speaker 2>do a road trip in this, and I texted you

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 2>about this, and I was like, what's the deal with

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the random revving at like eighty ninety k's It'll just

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 2>start revving the four thousand like h and it's only

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 2>got a tiny little one point five in it, and

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 2>it's just like and then it'll stop. So look, that's apparently,

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:48.759
<v Speaker 2>according to the manufacturer. That's to charge the battery a

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit, the hybrid battery.

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:52.799
<v Speaker 5>But it's basically they had to roll out a fix

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:55.319
<v Speaker 5>because the issue they were having is it has quite

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:58.160
<v Speaker 5>explosive acceleration, like it is pretty quick for what it is.

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:01.320
<v Speaker 5>The problem is you can drain this battery quite fast

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:03.280
<v Speaker 5>and you end up in a situation where it doesn't

0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:07.240
<v Speaker 5>have sufficient talque filled to get moving. So they engineered

0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 5>a fix for it where it will intermittently charge the

0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:11.440
<v Speaker 5>battery and top it up so that you do have

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:15.320
<v Speaker 5>that available capacity. So it's a fix to the problem,

0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:18.480
<v Speaker 5>but it ends up resulting in those random noises out

0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:20.760
<v Speaker 5>of nowhere which are a little intrusive into the cabin.

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:22.839
<v Speaker 4>So I think there's probably a little bit of work

0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 4>that they can still do to that.

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for me, it was a small car. It was

0:35:26.360 --> 0:35:29.319
<v Speaker 2>a small minus to a lot of pluses. I think

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:33.719
<v Speaker 2>for a family run around, it's economical and yeah, it

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 2>puts a family in a brand new car at thirty

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:37.000
<v Speaker 2>three k so far, I'm loving it.

0:35:37.320 --> 0:35:39.719
<v Speaker 5>I think that's probably the thing for me, Like you

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 5>cannot buy anything these days for under fifty grand, like

0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:45.920
<v Speaker 5>that you could use in theory as a family car

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:49.400
<v Speaker 5>and new That is so to me. I think the

0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:52.239
<v Speaker 5>pricing on these and the other sort of brands in

0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 5>this segment just show you how much value there is

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:57.759
<v Speaker 5>to be had. They now do I think a ten

0:35:57.840 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 5>year warranty as well? Yeah, don't find new cars with

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:04.719
<v Speaker 5>a ten year warranty. I still find it hilarious that

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:07.480
<v Speaker 5>Porsche still only has a three year warranty. It's like,

0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:10.080
<v Speaker 5>do you not believe in your cars at all? How

0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:12.600
<v Speaker 5>can these guys do a ten you warranty? You guys

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.000
<v Speaker 5>do a three year warranties? Like, what is what am

0:36:15.040 --> 0:36:15.560
<v Speaker 5>I missing you?

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? It's crazy, but yeah, so far, so good, So far,

0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:23.920
<v Speaker 2>so good. I was having a look at your your

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:25.759
<v Speaker 2>little website. I can't remember the name of it. I

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:30.840

<v Speaker 2>the is it the lyric?

0:37:19.200 --> 0:37:22.840
<v Speaker 5>I honestly don't understand what they're doing. It's like the

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 5>cars we actually want have an engine and all they're

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:27.040
<v Speaker 5>doing is this electric stuff.

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 5>No one that thinks of Cadillac thinks enormous electric suv.

0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:35.359
<v Speaker 5>They think Escalade or cts. Yeah, none of which are coming.

0:37:35.480 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 5>Like why would you not launch the Escalade? That would

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 5>be unreal, just some electric thing.

0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:42.920
<v Speaker 2>And also in Australia, people don't get that Cadillac over

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.360
<v Speaker 2>in the US is kind of like a real premium

0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:47.920
<v Speaker 2>car too, Like it's what the Kardashians geting around him

0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:49.960
<v Speaker 2>is all right, that's correct. The last time I was there,

0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:52.880
<v Speaker 2>and that's what you were there? Yeah you got picktures

0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:53.919

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, sure you did.

0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:55.960
<v Speaker 5>Jeez.

0:37:56.239 --> 0:38:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Wow, if that's the case. How the mightier faller I

<v Speaker 5>car back again, the by D shark. I was trying

0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:31.480
<v Speaker 5>to call you today in the Apple Car play stockworking

0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:33.480
<v Speaker 5>I didn't actually make any calls.

0:38:33.600 --> 0:38:35.640
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't sound like a shark to me. We'll cut

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:36.080
<v Speaker 2>that bit out.

0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:40.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So yeah, we we.

0:38:41.000 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 5>Went and redid all the tests, so our hill climb,

0:38:44.800 --> 0:38:48.439
<v Speaker 5>on our little hills and our trailer dine test.

0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, watch this space.

0:38:52.520 --> 0:38:56.000
<v Speaker 5>This car has all the production firmware, so as far

0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:57.960
<v Speaker 5>as I can tell, it should have no excuse to

0:38:58.040 --> 0:38:59.040
<v Speaker 5>not have made it up.

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:02.080
<v Speaker 2>This is car I was so excited for at one point,

0:39:02.480 --> 0:39:05.520
<v Speaker 2>and even now jumping on the owners group on Facebook,

0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:10.080
<v Speaker 2>which is massive. I think there's a lot of owners

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:11.640
<v Speaker 2>and I'm starting to see a lot of these on

0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 2>the road now, so they're really well and truly kind

0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:16.960
<v Speaker 2>of integrating in there's a lot of owners that are

0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:22.000
<v Speaker 2>just putting their hands up and going yeah, we yeah,

0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:24.920
<v Speaker 2>it's not going to take a heell. Some guy posted, hey,

0:39:25.040 --> 0:39:27.319
<v Speaker 2>check it out my cup. My shark can get up

0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:37.080
<v Speaker 2>my driveway like go you yeah, yeay, little steps, baby steps,

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:37.840
<v Speaker 2>you're doing great.

0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 4>Funny, that's a.

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Shame because I look, I saw I saw one driving

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:44.880
<v Speaker 2>in Actually, as you know, they've got a bit of

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:47.239
<v Speaker 2>fantastic they look great on the road, They've got a

0:39:47.280 --> 0:39:49.919
<v Speaker 2>real presence to them, and they it's kind of weird

0:39:50.960 --> 0:39:53.560
<v Speaker 2>seeing them because obviously I was in them driving, but

0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:57.279
<v Speaker 2>seeing them as somebody else, I guess looking out it's

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:00.680
<v Speaker 2>they've got a good stance about him, got a really

0:40:00.719 --> 0:40:03.880
<v Speaker 2>good presence on the road. As a yeah, they look fantastic.

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 2>As a throw about daily it's great. But I mean,

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:08.680
<v Speaker 2>surely you'd want to get this thing on the beach

0:40:08.800 --> 0:40:09.759
<v Speaker 2>or something. Yeah.

0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:11.960
<v Speaker 4>Look, I think people have had them on the beach,

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:16.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, with varying degrees of success. But yeah, I

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 4>don't know.

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:18.440
<v Speaker 5>It's just one of those things that I think they're

0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:19.839
<v Speaker 5>going to have to go back to the drawing board

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 5>and just fix some of the stuff that you know,

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:24.840
<v Speaker 5>has gone wrong with it, and then it should be

0:40:24.920 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 5>quite a competent vehicle. But we've also just tested the

0:40:27.360 --> 0:40:31.440
<v Speaker 5>Cannon Alpha plug in hybrid, which is just a completely

0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:34.279
<v Speaker 5>different operation, Like it actually has a proper a drive

0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 5>line with an electric motor sandwiched in a much bigger

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:42.120
<v Speaker 5>battery and like, yeah, I don't know. You'll have to

0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:44.440
<v Speaker 5>keep an eye out for the content when it goes live.

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Questions off the ground, what have we got there?

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:52.359
<v Speaker 3>The main one was what's Paul going to wear now

0:40:52.560 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 3>that Rivers has closed Paul?

0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:58.480
<v Speaker 4>Firstly, that's news to me. I didn't know Rivers had

0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:00.719
<v Speaker 4>closed can Leaves.

0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:03.200
<v Speaker 2>He's been propping up that joint for years.

0:41:03.960 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 4>So I am wondering what I'm going to do with

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:09.800
<v Speaker 4>my frequent bio points. Secondly, not an issue.

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:14.239
<v Speaker 5>I have quite a comprehensive Rivers wardrobe at home that

0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:16.800
<v Speaker 5>will last me through to at least another ten or

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:17.399
<v Speaker 5>fifteen years.

0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Also, as I told that, as I told that person, yeah,

0:41:21.520 --> 0:41:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I pre ordered Paul twenty of the famous eight pocket shirts.

0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's that's a whole in triple extra large. Obviously

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:32.520
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to run out. What else you got

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 2>a right one of them coming through?

0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 3>It says why do high end manufacturers not tell you

0:41:38.360 --> 0:41:41.960
<v Speaker 3>how to release their E braks in emergency situations with

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:43.480
<v Speaker 3>BMW and brackets?

0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:46.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's a good question.

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:50.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Yeah, it's one of those funny ones where a

0:41:50.400 --> 0:41:53.279
<v Speaker 5>lot of these cars will now just automatically apply these

0:41:53.320 --> 0:41:58.160
<v Speaker 5>E breaks and they'll hide like the release somewhere completely

0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 5>out of sight and unless you actually go looking for

0:42:00.680 --> 0:42:02.719
<v Speaker 5>it and know where it is, like, you're never going

0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:03.440
<v Speaker 5>to be able to find it.

0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 4>But that is a really good point.

0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 5>And I'm actually thinking to some of the neuroelectric cars

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 5>and stuff that have electronic shifters, Like I don't even

0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:14.759
<v Speaker 5>know how you would change some of those cars out

0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:17.480
<v Speaker 5>of gear, like if the battery goes flat, like it's

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:19.839
<v Speaker 5>to get it out of park. So yeah, I mean

0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:22.520
<v Speaker 5>all of this stuff that's advanced, like a Tesla with

0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:26.320
<v Speaker 5>the Model three with the rooftop gearshift.

0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:28.280
<v Speaker 4>Thing, but do you get that into drive or into neutral?

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's only one way to find out. Let's break

0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:31.400
<v Speaker 2>down and past it.

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:35.120
<v Speaker 3>The other question was canon alpha or a bid, which

0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:36.000
<v Speaker 3>we kind of skimmed on.

0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:38.360
<v Speaker 2>We have to wait for Watch this Space.

0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:40.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, watch Watch this Space.

0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Last one, but who owns the proving ground now?

0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:46.279
<v Speaker 5>Still VinFast, the Vietnamese manufacturer. They still haven't sold it.

0:42:46.320 --> 0:42:48.040
<v Speaker 5>It's still up for sale though, so if you want

0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:48.920
<v Speaker 5>to pass a hat around.

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Fun fact, when I was in Vietnam, i stayed in

0:42:52.640 --> 0:42:54.200
<v Speaker 2>the I noticed a lot of who.

0:42:58.239 --> 0:42:59.400
<v Speaker 4>He was. One of the.

0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Greatest is that he was grades cataracts, so spacious, so spacious,

0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:04.919
<v Speaker 2>big boot.

0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:07.400
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:10.160
<v Speaker 2>So when I was in Vietnam, I noticed a lot

0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.400
<v Speaker 2>of vin Fasts at the resort I was staying at,

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:15.400
<v Speaker 2>and they looked quite cool. They had kind of scoops

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:17.480
<v Speaker 2>on the bondo and I was like, ah, vin Fast

0:43:17.520 --> 0:43:20.440
<v Speaker 2>all right, And one of the security guards was just

0:43:20.560 --> 0:43:22.160
<v Speaker 2>chatting to me about it, and he's like, yeah, they

0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:24.600
<v Speaker 2>were really fast, blah blah blah blah blah. And he said,

0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:27.160
<v Speaker 2>the owner of vin Fast is the guy who owns

0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:30.920
<v Speaker 2>this resort, and he goes, you'll probably stacey quite a bit.

0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:33.680
<v Speaker 2>It's his little l little hideaway. You'll probably see him

0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:34.240
<v Speaker 2>rolling around.

0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:36.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so he is the I think the wealthiest guy

0:43:36.840 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 4>in in Vietnam.

0:43:38.560 --> 0:43:42.719
<v Speaker 5>But they actually bought X five and five series platforms

0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:46.040
<v Speaker 5>and put LS three engines in them. It was just

0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:50.000
<v Speaker 5>these really weird little setup. So yeah, they still ow

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:52.920
<v Speaker 5>the proven going so fun story. They were actually filming

0:43:52.960 --> 0:43:55.719
<v Speaker 5>a movie there a couple of weeks ago, so.

0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:57.759
<v Speaker 4>They had all it was my movie, it was my

0:43:57.960 --> 0:44:03.960
<v Speaker 4>uporn channel, and yeah it was very short. Yeah, yeah.

0:44:04.000 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I was entering in the short film Cans Film Festival

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and they wouldn't accept films under two minutes. I'm like,

0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:13.960
<v Speaker 2>well that session I was a bit of a slow coach,

0:44:14.200 --> 0:44:18.000
<v Speaker 2>but all right, we should end. Let's go, let's get

0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:20.160
<v Speaker 2>out of here. I've got pizza, deway Paul's got some.

0:44:20.680 --> 0:44:23.400
<v Speaker 4>Clothes to pick, trophies to shine.

0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:25.720
