1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: I guess we're on We're doing this, you're starting, Yeah,

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: this is starting right now. So my name's Gordy. I

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: don't know how I introduced Paul Marrick. A motoring journalist,

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: a local heart throb, former child star.

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: All of those things are true.

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: All of those things are co founder, car expert, dot

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: com dot a YouTube star sensation. Have you started a

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: TikTok account yet?

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: I have. It's the most depressing thing.

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: And I actually got in trouble from my wife when

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: I was on TikTok because, as far as I was aware,

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 3: it was just young girls dancing, and there is still

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: a lot of that on there, but it's now become

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: a car thing as well. So I had to explain

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: to her that, nad, I'm doing this for the cars,

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: not for the young girls dancing.

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: That's true. I did see you like doing the fluss

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: in front of our concept car. That was odd. Why

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: were you skipping? What were the rollerblades for? It's good

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: to hang out, man, because we've been wanting to do

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: this for a little bit and we're finally doing this.

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: I guess it's just kind of a podcast from an

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: expert and an enthusiast we're both sort of into cars,

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: and I guess that's where this kind of stem from. Ryan.

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: That's it.

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 3: And look, with all of these podcasts right like, these

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: are all built off people's feedback. So if you do

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: have feedback, please do get in touch with us, because

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: you know, we want to tailor this for whatever you

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 3: want to hear.

31
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: I love my cars.

32
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 3: I could literally talk about them for hours and hours

33
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: and hours, and I know that you love your cars

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: as well, So I think we're going to find this

35
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: nice middle ground where you know, I know all the

36
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: ins and outs and you know all the you know.

37
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: I know nothing, I know zero things like hey, that

38
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: look's pretty, let's drive that fast exactly.

39
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can ask all those sort of questions.

40
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Fun and if you do want to see Paul flossing

41
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: in front of a concept car, we can do that,

42
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: So that'll be fine. I do want to talk about

43
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: some news that dropped through this week. One was an

44
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: interesting thing that came through from Audi, a bit of

45
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: a claim saying that they're electric cars they think will

46
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: be pretty much selling as hard as petrol driven cars

47
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: in the next two to three years. I don't know

48
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: about you, but when I read that that blew my mind.

49
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was in the same boat.

50
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: So a lot of car companies are scared about electric

51
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: cars because they are expensive to produce. At the moment,

52
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: the bulk of the cost in an electric car is

53
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: in the batteries, and batteries are expensive to mine the

54
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 3: materials and then to create battery. Technology is constantly evolving,

55
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: but at the moment it is expensive. So Audi has

56
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: come out and said that they will be as profitable

57
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: in the EV sector as they are with their petrol

58
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: vehicles by twenty twenty five.

59
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: And the reason they can get.

60
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 3: Away with this is Audi, for those that don't know,

61
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: as part of the Volkswagen Group, and they share what

62
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: they call platforms. Platform is basically just a chassis beneath

63
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: the skin of the car, and it would surprise a

64
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: lot of people that there are so many cars out

65
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: there that share these platforms. And what Volkswagen is able

66
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: to do is say, okay, well we've got this electric pack.

67
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: This will fit in an Audi, a Volkswagen, it will

68
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: fit in a skull, say it, and it will later

69
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: fit in a Lamborghini of some sort. So by putting

70
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: money into the R and D just for that platform,

71
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: they can then roll it out with a different skin

72
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 3: on the outside, and then Bob's your uncle. You've got

73
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: profitability by twenty twenty five.

74
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: It's crazy, isn't it. I mean, with electric car popularity

75
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: in this country. I know that the federal government's pumped

76
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: in a lot of money recently, and you'd kind of

77
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: hope so because at the moment, I just don't think

78
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: we're that well equipped for electric cars.

79
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, they have pumped it in, but not every

80
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: state government has pumped it in. So Victoria, for example,

81
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: they've done a little bit of pumping. They've got like

82
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: a bicycle pump, and.

83
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: It's not really just done a bit of slab pumping.

84
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 2: Someone else can do all the work exactly right.

85
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: So the problem is, like I own a Tesla, I

86
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: now have to pay per kilometer for my car, so

87
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: every kilometer I drive I have to pay a tax

88
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: to the government. So that kind of doesn't really incentivize

89
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: people to get into electric cars at the moment, unfortunately.

90
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: But New South Wales is doing the right thing, and

91
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: it's hope the rest of or even just the federal government,

92
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 3: if they maybe did something that'd be nice as well.

93
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: Paul will always tell you he's got a Tesla in

94
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: the first five minutes of meeting him.

95
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: That's true. Hey, by the way, how's the family. Did

96
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: you hear? I've got a Tesla and I'm vegan. Not

97
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: just kidding, I'm definitely not vegan.

98
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: Tesla, How long have you been driving that Tesla for now?

99
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: It's almost two years now, and I've got to say

100
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: I like it.

101
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 3: I love the tech in it. I hate Tesla. Oh, actually,

102
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: let me rephrase that. I don't hate Tesla people. I

103
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: just hate Tesla fanatics because if I point out anything

104
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: that's crap about my car, and there are a few

105
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: things I am suddenly shot down in flames, like build quality.

106
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: They'll tell me that I should be grateful that I

107
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: have a car that is so high tech, and I'm like,

108
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: I'd also be grateful if the panel's matched up as well.

109
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: You know, that'd be nice.

110
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: You should feel privileged that you get to drive in

111
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: the spawn of elon mask exactly with a Tesla. I

112
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: can't at this point. I'm yet to be one hundred

113
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: percent convinced because it's kind of like white on the outside,

114
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: it's wide in the inside, and you get this big

115
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: sort of iPad looking thing. It just looks a little sterile.

116
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: It looks like where I go to get my STD checks.

117
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: It's just sort of it's very hospital you know. It

118
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: does go fast, so that's a plus.

119
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. Look, that's the thing.

120
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 3: I know, it's a sterile car, but I love the

121
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: fact that it is so damn quick, and I love

122
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: the fact that I get updates every like two or

123
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: three weeks. I'll get new features. So this week it

124
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 3: was Disney Plus has come to it. And because I've

125
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: got a new daughter and she'll want to watch annoying things,

126
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: I now have Disney Puk Plus.

127
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: So that's a good thing I've seen.

128
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? You can watch Disney Plus

129
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: on the big set thing.

130
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got Netflix on there. I've got YouTube so

131
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: I can watch my reviews.

132
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you watch yourself. Hey, what's going on with land Cruiser?

133
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: This is an interesting one because if you've spilt a

134
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: lot of money on a land cruiser in the last

135
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, I don't think you're going to be happy.

136
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing.

137
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: The new land Cruise of the three hundred series as

138
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: they call it, has been on the cards for a

139
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 3: little while now, and we had in Australia the record

140
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: sales of the previous gen the two hundred series, a

141
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 3: couple of months ago. And that's a car on a

142
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: platform that's around ten or eleven years old now, so

143
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: it is ancient in the grand scheme of things, and

144
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 3: it surprised me that so many people rushed out to

145
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: buy the old one. Well, if you have an order

146
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: on a new one, Toyota has just come out and

147
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: said that they are delayed indefinitely because there is a massive,

148
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: massive parts shortage in Japan with Toyota, and the three

149
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: hundred series is one of the biggest hit what Toyota

150
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: did at the start of COVID in in fact, pre

151
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: COVID actually had business continuity plans in place for parts,

152
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: so they said, if there was a world disaster, there

153
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: was another flood or something like that, we can run

154
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: this business for six to twelve months using our stockpile.

155
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: Well that was all going great until COVID kept going

156
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: and didn't stop. And Japan is now in the midst

157
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: of another COVID wave, and as it stands, they are

158
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: now out of that business continuity plan and the cars

159
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: are all stuff suffering. So there's delays on RAP four,

160
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: Lancrus High Lux, everything is delayed, So it'll.

161
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: Be interesting to see what happens.

162
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: If you have an order for a three hundred series,

163
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: you would have been expecting delivery from October this year,

164
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. It now looks like that is going

165
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: to be significantly delayed a year or more.

166
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: This includes the great chip shortage as well, too, right.

167
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean we're seeing, for example, Ford is

168
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: delivering some of their most popular cars, like the f

169
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: one to fifty without infotainment systems. So they're saying to customers,

170
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: do you want the car.

171
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: Now without a radio or do you want to wait.

172
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: Six months until we get this tiny little chip that's

173
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: stopping it from being complete.

174
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not just the radio either, that's like parking sensors.

175
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: That's all the tech on the cars too, right.

176
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like all of these components have these semiconductors and

177
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: all the little chips they need to actually operate. So

178
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: we're in a world now where you know, this is

179
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: going to be a big problem for some time to come.

180
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: So if you are buying a new car, you're going

181
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: to be waiting. And if you want to buy a

182
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: used one. The price of those are up by about

183
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: thirty or forty percent.

184
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

185
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: Huge.

186
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: Something I wanted to bring up was you posted this

187
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: on the Facebook and that was the video was a

188
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: couple of kids test driving a Tesla and driving it

189
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: at just crazy as speeds to the point where they

190
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: crash into a building. It's you get some satisfaction out

191
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: of watching that, I'll be honest, but I guess it

192
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: raises a pretty important question that can people who were

193
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: buying essentially like normal cars with supercar hypercar capabilities? Should

194
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: that be allowed?

195
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

196
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: I mean, look, the video was interesting because it was

197
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: by Rich Vlogs, and Rich in his previous videos I

198
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: checked out his YouTube channel before he very smartly shut

199
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: it down. He would do things like borrow cars from

200
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: a dealership, drive them like a maniac around Florida, return

201
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: them to the dealership broken, and then just go home.

202
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 3: And his latest video, which, okay, fair enough, if this

203
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: happens and you've videoed it and you know you've crashed

204
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: into a bil in the Tesla that you've just borrowed,

205
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: don't then post the video to YouTube, like just maybe

206
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: you don't do that.

207
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: So that's what he did.

208
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: And he was doing by my guest, and at probably

209
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty in an alleyway

210
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: in an industrial area, he clipped basically like a steel

211
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 3: grate that caused the car to get airborne. Yeah, and

212
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: he noticed that at that speed you're doing maybe fifty

213
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: meters per second. He noticed that he needs to slow

214
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: down before he reaches the intersection. But cars that don't

215
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: have tires on the ground don't slow down often. And

216
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: he basically sent this thing into a building. And it

217
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: was just the most mystifying thing, and it brings around

218
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: the question should regardless of this this idiot, should people

219
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: that buy this hundred thousand dollars car have access to

220
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 3: performance that is available on literally a half a million

221
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: dollar Ferrari.

222
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: It's an interesting one because I mean, effectively you can

223
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: walk into a Ferrari dealership and do the same sort

224
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: of thing.

225
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can also with an room to one

226
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty in a Corolla and send it into

227
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: a building. But the thing is with electric cars, it

228
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: is instant talk and acceleration, and at least with the Ferrari,

229
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: you kind of limit access to it by making it expensive,

230
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: making it in practical whereas with a Tesla suv it's

231
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 3: kind of a car that anyone could own. And you

232
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: just look at how quick these things go and how

233
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: some people drive in our roads at the moment in

234
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: cars that aren't that quick, and it just concerns me.

235
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't think they could regulate that right now.

236
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they could say, hey, here's your brain

237
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: new car. By the way, it only goes up to

238
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty en where like I think the

239
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: capabilities that it has, I think this is probably a

240
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: reality moving forward.

241
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 2: I think it's just going to happen. Yeah, well, look

242
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: you say that the regulation thing.

243
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: Volvo has actually come out and said that every new

244
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: car they produce will actually be speed limited to one eighty.

245
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: And it's interesting because in Australia you think, oh, that's

246
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: no big deal, we can only do one hundred and

247
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: ten hundred and thirty depending on where you are, But

248
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: in Germany, if you've driven on an autobarn on the

249
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: derestricted section, you will have Volkswagen caddy vans doing two

250
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: hundred because it's just what you do over there. So

251
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: a lot of people have come out in opposition to

252
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 3: this because they're like, well, it's my car. I want

253
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: to go as fast as I want. But Volvo is saying, well,

254
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: you don't need to go that fast, and we're engineering

255
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: it so that if you have a crash at one

256
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty, you're going to survive.

257
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: So it is interesting and I think that more of

258
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: them will move to this.

259
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: You do have valet mode and a couple of other

260
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: features in teslas to prevent idiots doing what these guys did,

261
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 3: but ultimately, I think that anyone who wants to do

262
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: something stupid will do it stupid regards of the car

263
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: that they're in.

264
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: All right, GV seventy review time. There's four models that

265
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: the GV seventy to choose from, with two option packs available.

266
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: The range starts with the two point five leads to

267
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: turbo with sixty six thousan four hundred. The two point

268
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: five all will drive at sixty eight eight hundred, the

269
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: two point two liter diesel for seventy one thousand, eight hundred,

270
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: or the top of the range of V six three

271
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: point five liters to turbo at eighty three thousand, four hundred.

272
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: The options pack start at four and a half thousand,

273
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: raging up to thirteen K depending on what combo and

274
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: what model you choose. You know, I'm really in terms

275
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: of Hyundai Kia Genesis, I'm really genuinely excited what these guys, well,

276
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: you know what this company's doing, especially Genesis. I really

277
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: like I've been excited about the GV seventeen eighty for

278
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: a long time and when I saw them, they're beautiful cars.

279
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: It's a weird thing, which I think we'll probably talk

280
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: about in a second. It's a weird thing with their

281
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,239
Speaker 1: marketing because I feel like that's kind of nonexistent.

282
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: I know, well, that's the thing. You think Genesis and

283
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

284
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: My memories of Genesis were the higher cars you would

285
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: get to and from the airport, right, They were sort

286
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: of just you know, they weren't really the best thing

287
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,119
Speaker 3: in the world. And the new Genesis, this revived Genesis,

288
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: is all about taking it up a notch, bringing the

289
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: luxury in and really just pushing it to another level.

290
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: What do you think of when you think of Genesis,

291
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: I'm curious, Ah, what pops into mind?

292
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: Well, I think of a hot genuinely, I kind of

293
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: evokes a hell of a lot of luxury car brands

294
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: mushed into one. I think the obvious one is obviously Bentley. Yes,

295
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: with the logo, which I like. The logo you could

296
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: sort of look at the back and you could sort

297
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: of say Mercedes a little bit, ye, I mean the car,

298
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: and so you could argue that it's a little bit

299
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: of a patchwork. But I think the whole sort of

300
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: brand in itself, is it genuinely evokes like a luxury brand.

301
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what they're trying to go for.

302
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: And for me, when well, the GV eighty look, I

303
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: enjoyed it, but I thought that it was just a

304
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: little too far. Like the steering wheel I thought was weird,

305
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: and it just sort of it didn't really feel cohesive.

306
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: But the GV seventy, this is just in a whole

307
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: other league. And I drove this thing, and I'm like,

308
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: I want to buy one, Like I really really want

309
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 3: to buy one. And we drove the three and a

310
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 3: half fleet of twin turbov six with all wheel drive

311
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: and the luxury pack. So that was priced around ninety

312
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: thousand dollars. And when you think ninety thousand dollars, this

313
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: goes head to head with things like the BMWX three,

314
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: the Mercedes Benz GLC. The OutQ five, ninety thousand dollars

315
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: in those doesn't really get you a whole lot.

316
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: So no, I was gonna say very much out of

317
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: Q five. Yeah, for the price that this Genesis is doing,

318
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: you wouldn't even touch the sides with these cars.

319
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: No, and look like some of the cool features.

320
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: They have eighteen way power adjusted driver's seat with massage,

321
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: so we'll literally massage w you're in the seat.

322
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: You've got a.

323
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: Fingerprint sensor to start the car so you don't have

324
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: to have the key with you. The engine itself is

325
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: an absolute ripper, so it's based off the engine out

326
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: of the key of stingers, so it has heaps of punch.

327
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: It really hammers hard with your will drive system. You

328
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: have an impressive amount of traction as well, so it

329
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: is just an all round really nice package. My question is, though,

330
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: if I was to say to you tomorrow, Okay, you've

331
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: got ninety grand to spend, do you want to get

332
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: a GV seventy or do you want to get one

333
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: of the mainstreams? What goes into your mind when you

334
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 3: think of resale.

335
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that these are going to reseal

336
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: well at this stage, simply because nobody knows they exist.

337
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: I honestly, at this point in time, think that Genesis

338
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: is a car enthusiast brand like that. Who knows about

339
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: it is the car dude, the car people.

340
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: Yep.

341
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't think someone from Tuak or whatever looking for

342
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: a nice SUV is going to go I might get

343
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: that Genesis. I just in that voice too. I might

344
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: get that Genesis.

345
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: Ah. But that's true, right, And that's the problem.

346
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: And for me, the thing that stopped me from going, Okay,

347
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: let's just buy one is I just don't know what

348
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: it's going to be worth in two years time. Okay,

349
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: so obviously if you buy a BMW not great at

350
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: resale either, but I know roughly how hard I'm going

351
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: to get hit with it.

352
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: Whereas this it could be better than the BMW, could

353
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: be worse than the BMW.

354
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: There really is no knowing how bad it's going to

355
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: cost me at the end of this. So that's my

356
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: only concern with Genesis that yes, the car is fantastic

357
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: to get, drives beautifully, it really is very luxuriously presented

358
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: inside the cabin, but ultimately, how much is going to

359
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: be worth will I be hit hard with it. I

360
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: think they're working on a guaranteed future resale value program,

361
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: which which is music to my years because it means

362
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: that in five years time, I know exactly how much

363
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: it's worth. Because on the servicing front, it comes with

364
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: five years of free servicing, so it's not going to

365
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: cost you anything to maintain for five years.

366
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: So all of those boxes are ticked. It's just how

367
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: much will it cost me?

368
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: That's all I think A lot of the time with

369
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: these luxury car brands too, is their status behind those

370
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: and there's also people that there's brand loyalty as well,

371
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, and these guys just have sort of put

372
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: it out there, but not it's just such a it's

373
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: just a sort of a back room club almost. It's like,

374
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: what are you guys doing? You should be telling everyone

375
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: about that you've actually come up with a fantastic luxury car.

376
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: There is as you said, it's got a brilliant engine

377
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: in them, the features in it are completely high and

378
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: the interior in it is stunning. You can't fault it.

379
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: But you kind of want the world's I get if

380
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: you're going to put that sort of money towards it.

381
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: I reckon Generally people would want other people to know.

382
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: I'd rather Genesis, but I don't think at this point

383
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: they've got that brand awareness.

384
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: Well.

385
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 3: Currently, the biggest bit of marketing they've done was when

386
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: Tiger Woods rolled one down a cliff.

387
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Tiger Woods rolling one down a cliff is.

388
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

389
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: It's just so strange that that is the most I've

390
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 3: heard about Genesis because it literally had the stickers on

391
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: the side of it. And in Australia, I've just not

392
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: seen any marketing. They do a Tesla style thing where

393
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: they have like these showroom type places. They do the

394
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 3: concierge thing where they'll pick up your car for servicing

395
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: and return it.

396
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: And all that sort of stuff.

397
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 3: But I just don't hear anything about them. So maybe

398
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: they're waiting for COVID to blow over a little bit.

399
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: But ultimately, for a brand new brand, I would be

400
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 3: shouting this from the rooftops and not just be relying

401
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 3: on you and I to talk about this to market

402
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: your brand.

403
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: God, I wish that was a marketing strategy. There's though,

404
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: like someone's in the boardroom going we will put the

405
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: greatest golfer on the planet in one of these, and

406
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: we will harm his legs. Sorry GB eight, that's so bad,

407
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: But yeah it is. It really is a beautiful car, though, right,

408
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: What do you think their plan should be going forward

409
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: with this car? Look?

410
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: I think getting it in front of as many people

411
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: as possible and not influencers.

412
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: Look.

413
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: I get the influencer thing, but ultimately, when I see

414
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: an influencer marketing a luxury vehicle like this, I don't

415
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: take it seriously at all because I know that had

416
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 3: they they probably don't have enough money to buy one

417
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: because they just everything that's too busy influencing.

418
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: That's right.

419
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: They really need to put this in the hands of

420
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 3: people that are going to be able to talk well

421
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 3: about it. A good example is Eddie Maguire, right, he

422
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 3: when he was the I know nothing about AFL by

423
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: the way, so some of this may not be true.

424
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 3: But when he was in charge of or whatever he's

425
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 3: seen your role was at Collingwood, If that.

426
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: Was he was president of a Collingwood football club, I

427
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: believe And I think you're going with the Lexus pathway here, right, Yeah.

428
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 3: Because Holden took over sponsorship of that brand and the

429
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 3: stadium and all that sort of stuff. But he stayed

430
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: in Alexis and he's the type of guy that you

431
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: want driving around and being seen in a Lexus. And

432
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: this is what they need. They need someone like that

433
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 3: in a Genesis and I think that will really sort

434
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: of do well for their image.

435
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: SUVSA all the rage at the moment.

436
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: The longer you leave it, the older this vehicle becomes,

437
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: and the less relevant it is. Now's the time to

438
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: really be singing it from the rooftops. And if everyone's

439
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: having supply issues at the moment and you're a brand

440
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 3: new brand that isn't selling many cars, hey let's market it.

441
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 3: Now's the time to do it because everyone needs something

442
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: to buy and they can't buy an X three the.

443
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: Three point five in this Do you think it makes

444
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: it quick as it needs to go? Are you happy

445
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: with with how this is driving?

446
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 4: Oh?

447
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. It is bloody fast.

448
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 3: So we do a lot of our testing at the

449
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: former hold and proving ground at lang Lang and they

450
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: have what's called a ride in handling loop there that

451
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 3: is it's it's a it's a weird road.

452
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: It sort of mimics a country road in parts.

453
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 3: There's tram tracks on part of it, but it's a

454
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 3: road where you can go properly quick, and in this

455
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: we were going properly quick. And it is It is

456
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: a vehicle that feels confident at speed and it's not

457
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: something that you would expect when you see it from

458
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 3: the outside. So for the average person that isn't going

459
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 3: to take this down a road like that, if you

460
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: find yourself on a mountain pass or some other fun

461
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: road like that, you are going to put a big

462
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 3: smile on your face. It is a real biased or

463
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: wheel drive system, so it feels spawty, it feels engaging,

464
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 3: and it has a mega amount of punch.

465
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon it's worth shelling out the extra with this,

466
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: with the like the sports pack and the paint as well,

467
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: it can look really good in a in a darker

468
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: sort of color and with the with the black real

469
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely worth shelling out for the for

470
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: the extras with this. Yeah, they are sort of like

471
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: a Stinger and a Tucks in a lot of ways,

472
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: but they do look aggressive if you really sort of

473
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: go for that angle.

474
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can even get it with Matt paint.

475
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: And I think Matt paint in the right color and

476
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: it's a two thousand dollars option, so it is cheap

477
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: compared to what you pay for Matt paint. With most

478
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: other eurobrands, you can have a sensational looking car that

479
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 3: someone would genuinely look at and assume you paid one

480
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty two hundred grand for.

481
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, my wife knows nothing about cars at all, and

482
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: that was one of the cars that she pointed out.

483
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: She thought, what is that?

484
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: That is that a Bentley? What is that? It's like

485
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: a Bentley from Wish.

486
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: Let's welcome Shane Jacobson to the party. Man is a

487
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: brand of a floor from one of you all won't

488
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: give you anything. He's been in a bitchy little mood

489
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: all day.

490
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: That.

491
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, if that was the truth, it would

492
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 4: be at first because he's known to be one of

493
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: the most delightful people in motorsport and anyone else's listening

494
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 4: that makes you a preck.

495
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: Hey man, it's so good to have you on this

496
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: and welcome Top one and we're grateful you're here. And

497
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: first of all, congrats on your podcast The Grill.

498
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks man. Yeah, we've been we're in too, sort

499
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: of only the second now, so we had you know,

500
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 4: pretty Lucky in at one that Jeremy Clarkson's Who's a

501
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 4: Made of Mine agreed to come on, and then we

502
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 4: got Mick doing to Pep two. So it's a big

503
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 4: shoot film now moving forward. It's that terrifying thing when

504
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 4: you know you go big early, you've got to stay

505
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: big longer.

506
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: Okay, you've promoted your own podcast enough, that's okay for now.

507
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 4: Thank you, thanks for having me on. Guy.

508
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: Do you know one of the cool things I reckon

509
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: about zoom chats? As frustrating as they are, because you know,

510
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: you want to sort of connect with people in the studio,

511
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: but I think one of the cool things is you

512
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: get to see a little bit of a snapshot of

513
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: people's lives and and your office is kind of like

514
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: my my dream bedroom I've got.

515
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: There's a there's a lot of zooms I do where

516
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 4: people look in the background and I think they think

517
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 4: I'm in one of my kids, and I have to

518
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 4: explain no, no. My office is filled with you know,

519
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: what other people would call toy cars. But you know,

520
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 4: for those who are listening, what you can't see is

521
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 4: here I have a batmobile, which is like a one

522
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 4: meter long Batmobile, which is now a sort of a

523
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 4: bit of collector's item. But yeah, there's an eh Old

524
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: there and h J. Kingswood because I actually have have

525
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 4: those in my own car collection. And there's a Brockie

526
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 4: Manaro CB eight Monaro, which is I drove the mock

527
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 4: up of that at Targets has He this year and

528
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 4: that's the model of it, which which was signed by

529
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: Peter Brock before we lost him. So yeah, and a

530
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 4: plus five there's a hr there and anyway, I've got

531
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: toy cars over his place, sound real cars hidden.

532
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 2: In chads, Yeah, which we're going to talk about in

533
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: a second.

534
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: I do want to ask, though people know you from

535
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: various platforms, I guess Top Care Australia and and all that,

536
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: but where did this start from you Because for a

537
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: lot of people it was like, there's the guy from

538
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: Kenny and then sort of slowly you became in the

539
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: realm of a bit of a massive car enthusiast.

540
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: So I look, I think, like most of us who

541
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 4: are car enthusiasts, I don't think you know when the

542
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 4: disease starts. And even if it was a disease, let's

543
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 4: be honest, none of us are looking for the cure.

544
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 4: So my parents weren't into cars at all. They are

545
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: necessary evil for them. My brother couldn't give a toss.

546
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: He wouldn't know what car he was driving. My sisters

547
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 4: have no interest in them. They just want them to

548
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: be safe. So there's actually no one in my immediate

549
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 4: family there, uncles included, that really cared about cars. I've

550
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: just always seen them as a moving piece of art.

551
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: I love what they do mechanically. I love the way

552
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 4: they look, I love the way they sound. I loved

553
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 4: driving them. I love racing them. I love cruising in them.

554
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: I love dragging them. You know. I just love a

555
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 4: thing about them and two or four wheels. And to

556
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 4: be honest, if it moves back and forward, I'm probably

557
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 4: gonna love it. You know. I've got a license for

558
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 4: of forklifts, lit boomlift, bus, semi trailer, heavy ridge and

559
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 4: motorbike car everything. If it moves, I just want to

560
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 4: be part of it. And again I don't I remember

561
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 4: the first car I fell in love with, which is

562
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: why the first car I got in my sort of

563
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: collection was an eh old because I was a kid

564
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 4: sitting outside of supermarket and I gosh, I would have

565
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 4: made me been eight or seven. I was on a BMX,

566
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: just hanging out at the shop seeing the potato cake,

567
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 4: probably with a couple of mates and a candy Apple

568
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 4: read eh with center lines and a four hundred SHEV

569
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 4: with dumb pipes coming out the back of it just

570
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 4: rumbled into the car park really slowly, but shook every

571
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 4: window on the supermarket, and I was intantly in love.

572
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 4: It was like you know those scenes in movies when

573
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 4: people see Christy Brinkley, Well that for me, it was

574
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 4: all the things I were attracted to were made of metal,

575
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 4: not of skin. And I've said a million times the

576
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 4: first celebrities I was desperate to meet were all cars.

577
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 4: It was the XB coop out of Mad Max. It

578
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 4: was Ferrari three, Wait at a Magnum Pi, and the

579
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 4: list goes on, Shelby Cobra out of the Cannibal Run,

580
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 4: all those in a Gumball rally, like everything that I was,

581
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: even the truck out of b J McCain and his

582
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 4: best friend there. Like everything I loved that I thought

583
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: was a superstar or something I aspired to be in

584
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 4: or near was a car or a vehicle or some sort.

585
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: And it's just been like that's forever.

586
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 3: Well, mate, tell me, you know, we're both huge fans

587

592

Speaker 4: the Whole Museum in a tutor. I've got a HQ

593
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: UT that's regio plate is Noisy Q and it's called

594
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: that for a reason. So it's it's got a VS

595
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 4: three or four motor in it, it's got a it's

596
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 4: got a Ford nine inch wheel, know why they've got

597
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 4: it right? And so yeah, that thing, that thing's pretty

598
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 4: well sort of customs stainless skill tren twin exhaust systems.

599
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 4: So that one's my bag, Gil, if you will. I

600
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 4: have a VSUTH which has done up as a rally

601
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 4: you so for club dirt meat. So I've actually got

602
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 4: a VSU that literally Petter's got that and kind of

603
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 4: spent a bit of time underneath it getting it rigid,

604
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 4: and that's got a customer exhausted system that's inconceivable that

605
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 4: I've got it registered. So there's my hold and bad stuff.

606
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 4: And as I said, I've got a bit d but

607
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 4: I've also got a Morris eleven hundred and I've got

608
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 4: I've just bort a nineteen sixty three pull handle MG

609
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 4: that and my wife went through a cruising yesterday through

610
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 4: the mount So I've got some old Tardi bits as well. Mate.

611
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: That is fantastic. And what do you think at the

612
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: moment buying anything at.

613
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: The moment with a Holden or forward badge on, it

614
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 3: is criminally expensive.

615
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that?

616
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: Do you reckon people are buying it because they really

617
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 3: want these cars or because they're going to make a

618
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 3: quick buck out of them.

619
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 4: I think it's a bit of everything. But I think

620
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 4: what we know is I mean seeing some of the prices,

621
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 4: Malu Youth does like literally does my brain. But I

622
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 4: think what it is is and we know you know

623
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 4: the cars, you know that the second hand car market,

624
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 4: I mean COVID's caused a lot of it and stuff coming,

625
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 4: you know, the chips drawing up and all that kind

626
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 4: of stuff. And I don't have to tell anyone listening

627
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 4: to this as men who go to pubs. I hate

628
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 4: waiting for chips, let alone cars because let alone cars

629
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 4: because of them. But a lot of people, our age,

630
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 4: I'll just say, our age, who have a little bit

631
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 4: of access to money, A lot of these cars are

632
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: the ones we want. Of these kids, There's no way

633
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 4: my kids are going to pay a million dollars for

634
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 4: a GDHR. They don't care. In fact, if someone turns

635
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 4: up to the GDHO when my kids have that kind

636
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 4: of money, which I don't had that kind of money.

637
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 4: But in fifteen years time, the twenty yeth time, if

638
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 4: someone turns up to my kids and offers them the

639
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: GDHO for one hundred grand less than they paid for

640
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: it a year ago, there's no way my kids are

641
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 4: buying MAP. But our my generation, who look at those

642
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 4: cars like you know, HR wasn't EH's mind EJ not.

643
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 4: I don't like the round of back end HR. I've

644
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: got a bit of a thing for like we've all

645
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: as we know, our taste is so particular. But now

646
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 4: I've got to the point I'm looking at HR's going

647
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 4: maybe I should grab one, because it's like a cousin's

648
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 4: going to leave the party forever. So idiots like me

649
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: drive those prices up. But by the same token, you know,

650
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 4: I've got a Sahara. A Lanka is a Sahara I

651
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 4: just brought like six months ago, eight months ago, And

652
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 4: at one point I could have sold that, put fifty

653
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 4: grand profit in my pocket and then got the money

654
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 4: to buy the new one that's coming out. I mean,

655
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: it's insanity, but look, I don't think it'll last for ever.

656
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 4: I think our generation love these cars. We've driven the

657
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: price up. COVID hasn't helped, but they just can't keep

658
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 4: going as this trajectory because the generations below us just

659
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 4: don't care about it. They want a Tesla.

660
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: If you were to say sort of ten years ago,

661
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: Holdens weren't going to exist, you kind of go, yeah, no,

662
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't believe you. And now we're in

663
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: a kind of a climber where it's like we want

664
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: something that we essentially can't have.

665
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: There is an ad yesterday. Yesterday I said to my

666
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 4: wife that's one of the saddest ads I've seen for

667
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 4: a while. And it's a road sort of a road

668
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 4: traffic ad about road safety, a TAC commercial, you know,

669
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 4: about concentrating while you're driving, and in the ad. You

670
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 4: see the car go past a stationary police car and

671
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 4: it's a BMW. When I went, now, even our safety

672
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 4: ads don't have an Australian car with a policeman in them,

673
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 4: and I'm like, it's so done. We know it's done,

674
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 4: we know they're gone. But it was like another nile

675
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 4: in an already sealed coffin when we're looking at a

676
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: German manufactured car with an Australian policeman in it, ready

677
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 4: to book us in an AD and I went, God,

678
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 4: I don't know why it's stung so much seeing in

679
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 4: an AD because then I'm like, well, now it doesn't

680
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 4: even exist on our TV sets unless you're watching Matt

681
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 4: Locke Police or something.

682
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 3: Because it's a one hundred and twenty thousand dollars car

683
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: with heated seats and they're driving.

684
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: Around in.

685
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 4: That also annoysment. Can we pause? Sorry, I had to

686
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: do one thing, got to get my kids to go

687
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 4: and get the tools in because it's absolutely bucketing.

688
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: I knew he wouldn't be comfortable with this question. I

689
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: knew it.

690
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I love you.

691
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: That's Shane Jacobson right now, currently yelling at his children

692
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: to get back to homeschooling.

693
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love those toys. I could. I

694
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: could never have in my house stuff like that. I

695
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: would never let me.

696
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: It looks like he has some sort of diploma on

697
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: the wall too. Sure it was purchased off Amazon or

698
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 1: something like that, but still it looks like a funky

699
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: doctor's office.

700
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not even like I buy stuff. And then

701
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 3: my wife goes, well, where are we going to put that?

702
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't know. We can maybe put

703
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: it where you put all the ship that you buy.

704
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: Put it right next to your collection of shoes. That's

705
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: what we're doing.

706
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. I'm sure we can edit that. And

707
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 4: we go back. Literally, I've got I've got drilled saws, everything,

708
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 4: draw saw, everything out of that went. Oh man, it's it's.

709
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: All depreciating very quickly.

710
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: We we framed that as if your children were out

711
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: there cleaning your gun collection.

712
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 4: Actually not that. It is a really sharp Samurai George collection.

713
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: The Batman bill behind you, that's is that Batman too?

714
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: Is that the Michael Keaton Batman too? Batman bill?

715
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 4: Is Michael?

716
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: Is that the best Batman bile there was?

717
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, the Tumbler one, you know, the most recent

718
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 4: one is it called the Tumbler I think so. I

719
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 4: love the look of that. But yeah, the Michael Keaton

720
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 4: one was I think the best one. Yeah.

721
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: I did want to bring something up and it's cool

722
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: if you're uncomfortable to talk about this, but it was

723
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: a career aspect of yours and that's not my dog.

724
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: What were you thinking of that movie? No, what I

725
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: wanted to ask was Top Gear Australia. I think everyone

726
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: was hopeful for it and it sort of fell into

727
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: a bit of love.

728
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 4: Yes, there's a few things there, which is we did

729
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 4: two seasons and had a ball. So Jeremy Clarkson and

730
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 4: James May and Richard said they reckon the first year

731
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 4: we did on Channel nine with it, so it was

732
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 4: the second year for it, but the first year for me,

733
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 4: they reckon, which was love with you say. They said

734
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: they reckon. That was better than their seventh season. So

735
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 4: they said, you guys got good at something really fast,

736
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 4: and but we had them to look at. But here's

737
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 4: the thing, there's a few bits that was always going

738
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 4: to have us doomed. It's really hard to be the

739
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 4: Rolling Stones cover band when the Rolling Stones are still touring.

740
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 4: So you that it's impossible to do that. And I'll

741
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 4: tell you what someone said recently, what a great show,

742
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 4: what a pitio had to be called top gear because

743
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 4: then everyone compares everyone said I had. I had some

744
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 4: journalists say why why would you bother doing an austrain

745
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 4: women the English one is so good, And we weren't

746
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 4: trying to reply top year UK at all. You know

747
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 4: the mothership, and it existed in every other country. It

748
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 4: was Australians doing our version, so you could see Australian

749
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: cars on Australian roads and discuss things as Australians that

750
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 4: would make sense for Australians. It was never supposed to

751
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 4: replace the UK one, and so the UK had fort

752
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 4: an e fcy or whatever it meant for another more

753
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 4: than thirty five weeks of the year. You were forced

754
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 4: to watch reruns and all we did was gave him

755
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 4: an option to watch six episodes of something else, but

756
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 4: you're still in total, only had about twenty weeks of viewing,

757
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 4: and then you were stuck with rerums again. So I

758
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 4: never understood why people were so kind of against it.

759
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 4: If you will, some people will be interacts. And the

760
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 4: other thing was everyone kept saying you know, you haven't

761
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 4: got anywhere near the budget as the one in the UK,

762
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 4: and you just go, dr we don't have the same

763
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 4: budget as the American military. There's a reason for this,

764
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 4: there's a population. So yeah, so it was it was

765
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: always And I did say to a journal once because

766
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 4: he said, I don't know why you bothered doing the

767
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: Australian one with the English one, it is so good,

768
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 4: And I said, I hope your boss doesn't feel the

769
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 4: same about your job, because you'd be working for the

770
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 4: New York Times now telling American stories to Americans instead

771
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 4: of an Australian newspaper telling Australian stories to Australians. And

772
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 4: then I've been down. Then you report on world news,

773
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 4: which we could do as well. We could report on

774
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 4: overseas cars, of course, but we rooted everything for the

775
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 4: most part with Australian cars with stories. So but look,

776
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 4: the great part was I got to do it for

777
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 4: two and had an absolute ball. So I just got

778
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 4: to drink beer for three two years and everyone goes,

779
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 4: you really like that beer? I went, which for.

780
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 2: Free, of course, you know what.

781
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: You know what's strange now, I feel like in today's

782
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: climate that would that show would definitely have a place,

783
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: would definitely have a spot, maybe not on free to air,

784
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: maybe on a Netflix or Amazon. I just think because

785
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: it was on at the same time the UK show

786
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: was on, idiots are going to compare, and I just

787
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: I feel like there's definitely a space for it.

788
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: You know, if you walk, if you walk outside with

789
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 4: the blue jumper on, there's going to be a whole

790
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 4: bunch of people who just don't like blue jumpers, like

791
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 4: that doesn't and you've done nothing wrong in it. Someone

792
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 4: else might go, oh God, I can't believe it didn't

793
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 4: go with green, or why don't you wear black? Or

794
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 4: I think red so much cooler, yellow looks better. But

795
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 4: as soon as you walk outdoors with a blue jumper

796
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 4: on with that, before you've set or done a thing,

797
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 4: you could have just borrowed it. It doesn't ever have to

798
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 4: be yours. You could have got to hand it to

799
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 4: you for free. It could have been your father's and

800
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 4: you've lost your father and a mean something. But there'll

801
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 4: be people who go, I've got a hate blue jumpers.

802
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 4: So you just got to accept no matter what you do,

803
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 4: you can't make everyone happy. And as soon as you

804
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: stop trying to do that and make sure you're pleasing

805
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 4: the people who do enjoy it, like go out and see.

806
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 4: That's the other thing too, I'm you know, my you

807
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 4: is more broad now I've got back then, you know,

808
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 4: there's no doubt about it. I was letting people know

809
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 4: I was a Holden fan. And as soon as you

810
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 4: do that, you're actually going to have some people that

811
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 4: are going to go. You know, I had to eat

812
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 4: so but you've got to You've got to be honest.

813
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 4: You've got to be true to what you're doing. You know.

814
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 4: Then you know Paul knows that when he does a

815
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 4: car with you, and he's not saying someone else won't

816
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 4: like that car. I mean there's people buying cars now

817
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 4: that don't even know what the badge record. But actually,

818
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: literally I've an Now, my manager's just brought a carp

819
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 4: I told this story on a show the other day.

820
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 4: My manager has brought a car as my entertainment. We

821
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 4: say managers meant kind of your executive assistant. Right, she

822
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 4: works for me, and she's found this car. She's I

823
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 4: even spoke with Paul about the hall the ring, Paul

824
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 4: to go, how's this thing going? And so she didn't

825
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 4: know what it was. She just knew it was a

826
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 4: great price. It goes forward and back, it's cold in summer,

827
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 4: it's warm in winter. She will go somewhere in it.

828
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 4: She thinks maybe it's all a trick. And she just

829
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 4: went the will at last, and I said, yeah, she's great.

830
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 4: And she went and brought that thing, Paul. She went

831
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 4: and bought a car that she didn't even know about.

832
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 4: That that that is how much stuff is, how fast

833
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 4: stuff is shifting. But when you're doing a show like that,

834
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 4: you've just got to stick to your guns, I think,

835
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 4: and I get offered like a lot of car shows. Still,

836
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 4: who knows, maybe something will happen, you know, in the

837
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: near future, because I still have a lot of people

838
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 4: call me one again in a few weeks with good

839
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 4: more idy for akashow, and some of them have got

840
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 4: a bit of money behind it that might get it

841
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 4: up and going. And I'm always looking for the right

842
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 4: one of there's certain things and the ideas I've got

843
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 4: about shows. They can't be all things to all people,

844
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 4: but either can cars. So who knows, you know, I'd

845
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 4: love to do another one because it's my passion and

846
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 4: the one thing, as we know, with any show, art, song, food,

847
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 4: doesn't matter what it is. The one thing that everyone

848
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: on Earth loves is passion. And if you sit with

849
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 4: someone I told this story and you're on a show

850
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 4: the other day that I'd sat with bird watches once

851
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 4: for a show who we'd all laugh at and go,

852
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 4: there's people that there to watch birds. And I spent

853
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 4: an hour with these people, and after an hour of

854
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 4: realizing they actually do know everything about every bird that

855
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 4: they can see and can mimic their noises, can tell

856
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 4: you where they're from, and all this stuff, I went, Okay,

857
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 4: I'm going to stop having a go on that because

858
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 4: I get it. They know so much about it that

859
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 4: within an hour they had me fascinated. So you know, yeah,

860
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 4: that does well mate.

861
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: That's the thing I know you.

862
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 3: I know Steve Bizzarti as well, and I feel that

863
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: you guys are so passionate that if the right show

864
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 3: did come around, I would definitely watch it, and I

865
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 3: think that you guys would be would be sensational to

866
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 3: have on the on the box again. So yeah, that's

867
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: that's me. Well, one other thing I wanted to ask

868
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 3: you about as well. I first I properly met you

869
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 3: when we did the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, and I

870
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 3: absolutely love that event.

871
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 2: It's it's basically UNI students.

872
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 3: From around the world pre COVID going to Darwin and

873
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 3: in these solar cars that they've built. I want to

874
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,479
Speaker 3: ask you if if you could have the ultimate solar car,

875
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: what would it be.

876
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 4: Wow, I'd tell you what it would probably be is

877
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 4: a probably nineteen seventies era what you're a cruiser of

878
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 4: some kind, like a big Marquee or maz d like.

879
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 4: It'd be a big cruiser because if it's going to

880
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 4: be solar powered, going to want to use it in summer,

881
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 4: and you're probably going to want to use it towards

882
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 4: the north of Australia and maybe go on coastal roads.

883
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 4: And if you're going to do that, I'd want to

884
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 4: be fat arming it. I'd want the window down, so

885
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 4: I guess it would be. And not only that, if

886
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 4: I pick a big cruise er, I get more solar

887
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 4: panels on it, which means I actually want have to stop.

888
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 4: So I'd probably go. As weird as it would sound,

889
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 4: I'd love some kind of you know, like great big

890
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 4: I mean imagine some great, big, massive cadillact just you

891
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 4: know where the duco is made out of solid you know,

892
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 4: receiving panels at a sun receiving power source. That just

893
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 4: could just have your cruise, And I reckon i'd be

894
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 4: doing that. I wouldn't want to be like the Holden

895
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 4: Vault or somehow.

896
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 3: Nobody wants that, even the Chevy Bolt, which they've now

897
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 3: recalled because they all keep catching on fire on their own,

898
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 3: which is pretty impressive. But yeah, I reckon that. That event

899
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 3: I think personifies where the car industry is heading. It's

900
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of young, smart kids that are going

901
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 3: to get poached by all of these car companies to

902
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 3: create stuff like that the retro cool big solar car

903
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: that perhaps one day, well we'll be on our roads

904
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 3: and you'll have a fleet of old, you know, tree

905
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 3: killing internal combustion cars and then you'll have some solo

906
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 3: thing that will get you down the road in silence.

907
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not it's not only the car companies

908
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: to steal them. NASA stole one of the guys. It

909
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 4: still comes back and drives like NASA like this, Like

910
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 4: so many of the companies, Panasonic, so many of the

911
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 4: people keep their eyes on that event and they steal

912
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 4: the kids, but NASA took one of the one of

913
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 4: the kids from one of the universities.

914
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: I've seen like quite a few people put like electric

915
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: turn old cars into electric. There's a couple of old

916
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: Porsches floating around with purely running off battery as well. Yeah, yeah,

917
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: I don't know what they'd be like to drive, but.

918
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 2: Probably more reliable the standard land Rover.

919
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 4: If they're old, they're supposed to make.

920
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the older.

921
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 4: The older we get, the more we start, and that's

922
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 4: that's what cars are supposed to do.

923
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: Great, that's like half the enjoyment in some of these

924
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: these old cars. Like you sit in there and you

925
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: can just feel every it does. It might not have

926
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: air con or you know, you wind the window down,

927
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: but you sit in there and you you can it's

928
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: almost like you can feel the road better, like and

929
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 1: you feel the car, you hear every blip and blap,

930
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of intuition that comes through I

931
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: think with these older cars.

932
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, literally yesterday mehmo. Wife, we live regionally, so

933
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 4: we've just come from you know, I would say temporarily

934
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 4: out of lockdown for a moment. Obviously, there's limited things

935
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 4: we can do. But we've we've got some beautiful mountain

936
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 4: roads and the massive and ranges. So yesterday we jumped

937
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 4: in the MG with the roof off and literally like

938
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 4: for twenty minutes, said to the kids, we're just literally

939
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 4: going around the street, up the hill, over the mountain

940
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 4: and the coming back. So my older daughter was staying here

941
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 4: with the boys, and we just went for cruise and

942
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 4: we're going went to the top of the mountain, which

943
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 4: is not that big, and coming back down to the

944
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 4: other side. And only there's only there's one way I

945
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 4: go up that mountain, one way I go down, and

946
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 4: I don't do it the other way around, because there's

947
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 4: the hill goes down for a long while and my

948
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 4: eh and that MG will not get to the bottom

949
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 4: of that without break fades. So I'm very courseous bad

950
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 4: the way I go. But even when we're going down,

951
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 4: she said, we'll we be right. And see, my wife

952
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 4: knows way too much about about the fact that those

953
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 4: cars required nursing and they don't call it probably and

954
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 4: there's no abs and you know, if I'd get it wrong,

955
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 4: there's no area about coming out of anywhere. So yeah,

956
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 4: we're going down and I have to explain to her.

957
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to probably when we get to

958
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 4: the top, even though we're cruising on, probably going to

959
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 4: come to a stop because I want to get into

960
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 4: first for a couple of corners, and in that car,

961
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 4: unless the thing's stationary, you can't get into first, and

962
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 4: even second, I have to really match the revs to

963
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 4: get it right, and I haven't quite perfected it because

964
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 4: I've only had the car for a while. So she's

965
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 4: a part of all this, all this stuff I had

966
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 4: to do, which we were discussing on the way up

967
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 4: the mountain, what I'd have to do in order to

968
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 4: navigate getting down it without running out of break. So

969
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 4: she's so, you're right. I mean, we're very involved in

970
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 4: the driving. You can't you can't turn your brain off,

971
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 4: you know. But again, at one point there was a noise.

972
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 4: This noise happened. My wife said, what was that? I said,

973
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 4: I absolutely no idea. It didn't sound too metallic. I

974
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 4: don't think that was a bolt or not. Anyway, we'll

975
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 4: find out when I try and stop it next toorn.

976
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: Well, listen, thank you, thanks for stopping by. The grill

977
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: is what's a monthly?

978
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 4: Yeah?

979
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: Cool month hopefully we're seeing you back on the TV

980
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: very soon with the car show.

981
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, well I'm I'm on a train show inside

982
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 4: Central Station on SBS at the moment, so you can

983
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 4: see me doing trains. But yeah, let's get this. I

984
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 4: don't have I've got nothing to do with planes. But yeah,

985
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 4: let's get you to automative.

986
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 3: I don't think many people have anything to do with

987
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 3: planes at the moment either, So you're right.

988
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 4: No, not less you're getting flying drugs in and out

989
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 4: of Mexico, do you have anything to do with a plane.

990
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: Paul is into that from time to time. Thanks for

991
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: stopping by, Shane.

992
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 4: My absolute pleasure, and hopefully once COVID ends, we'll see

993
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 4: you all on the road.

994
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Mate, Let's let's catch up for a beer once

995
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 2: we're allowed to.
