Speaker 2: Yeah. Well yeah, we leave here Monday and we start

00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: to following Saturdays. So it starts in the twenty sixth

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: and finishes on the first.

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: Now, tell me, I think it sounds like it's going

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: to be a lot of fun, Brian. Tell me about

33
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: your car.

34
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 2: I've got a nineteen sixty seven Ford XRU a little

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: bit of a V eight in it. Most of cars

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: are crime bumpers, chrome bumper cars with V eights and

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: that sort of thing.

38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you say a little bit of a V eight?

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Is that understating it? Oh?

40
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: Not really, it's just an old V eight. It looks

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: like a bit of a farm you, but it's just

42
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: a nice knee tidy car. It goes pretty good.

43
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Oh good on you. Now, who are you going along with?

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: So there's myself and my wife in my car, and

45
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 2: then there's Gordon Sue Jibao. They're from Northern Power Service here. Yeah,

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: Tim and Alana Bryan that you say, I'm looking key

47
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: recently retired Rick Jones and Phil Brushet's were the teams

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: from Darwin that you're heading down and we met up

49
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: with some guys along the way from Alice Springs.

50
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: Now, why did you all decide to take part this year?

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: What's your motivation behind us? Oh?

52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: Look, Gordon and Gordon's arded a couple of times. Tim

53
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: did last year. My motivation is my oldest my youngest son. Sorry,

54
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: he's on the autism spectrum. I've got a grandson on

55
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: the spectrum as well. I thought it was a good cause.

56
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: It's for kids, and it was amazing to raise the

57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: money we've raised low. We've set a goal for ourselves

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: at six thousand dollars. We're at twenty three thousand at

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: the moment. It's just.

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: Awesome. That is so awesome mate. I'm assuming that friends, family,

61
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: everybody's wanted to get involved and donate some money.

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really it's been amazing and I can't believe

63
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: some of the people. You know, I've had four people

64
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: out of the state actually donate to our cause, like

65
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: a company in Victoria, Vic Sibyl. Yeah, like, yeah, just people,

66
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: you know, people from Accolade, people from w A. It's

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: just amazing. You know, it just blows his way.

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Oh good, And why do you reckon people have been

69
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: so generous? Do you reckon? It's because it's a cause

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: that so that probably means a lot to.

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: All of us. Yeah, I think so. I like, you know,

72
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: like Fittroy helicopters from w A, they donated a thousand

73
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: bucks and that was really unsuspected. I don't know, you know,

74
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: they just it's been amazing and it's sort of taking

75
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: us back a little bit, like you to think, you know,

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: you know one of the guys I went to school with,

77
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: I haven't seen him for thirty years and was seen

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: him recently and then you know he donated a thousand

79
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 2: dollars he wants remained anonymously as a roofing company. Yeah. Look,

80
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: and you know some of the people we do business

81
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: worth in our workshop. And yes, it's been amazing, you know,

82
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: like lot of friends. You know, I even Canada the amount

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: of donations we've had, but it would be in the

84
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: hundreds and I mean hundreds and hundreds. And then you

85
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: know we've had the major ones for a thousand and

86
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: two thousand and you know, and so on.

87
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: It's so nice, like very often, you know, especially for

88
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: me on this show, I talk a lot about the

89
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: different issues in the Northern Territory and that. But you

90
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: know what I love about territories is that when there's

91
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: a good cause, when there's somebody that needs a hand up,

92
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: when there's something that goes wrong, you see the best

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: in people.

94
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, one hundred percent. You know, like it's been amazing,

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: you know, like Aaron from Aaron's Cars, you know, like

96
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: him his wife donates so many thousands of hours a

97
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: year to the Southern District's football club. You know, I

98
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: mean that they really do. And he donated a thousand

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: dollars and it was like wow, you know the amount

100
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: of ours, even Karen donate to charity. You know it's

101
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: not a charity out there, but donate seas for kids,

102
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: their kids play footy out there is amazing.

103
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you know, to those out there listening that

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: don't know a huge amount about variety, I mean, this

105
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: is about raising funds for sick kids and disadvantage children,

106
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: isn't it.

107
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: That's correct? Yep?

108
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: I mean to me, that's the cause that everybody can

109
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: get behind. I think it's something that a lot of

110
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: people would feel pretty passionately about. Now, I understand you've

111
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: been pipped from second place at the moment, though, Brian,

112
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: do you reckon we can get a few more people

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: on board to donate to you this morning? How can

114
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: they do it well?

115
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: If you go to the Full Throttle Side or if

00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: professional and it's made so easy. It's not funny, it's
