WEBVTT - MINI: The Holden

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Last week on the show, was said, I want to

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:10.239
<v Speaker 1>buy an old hold and I want to do it up.

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>I want to restore it. I want to give it away.

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not really giving it away to passing it on

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:18.639
<v Speaker 1>to the next generation. Who were sad and like a

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of you. A couple of weeks ago and we

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>found out that it's actually Australia's oldest museum, the Wholder

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Museum is closing in a couple of weeks time. These

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>aren't his cars. They're a living piece of Australian history.

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>It's living history, those cars. So we want to get

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>one and restore it to its dignity and give it away.

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>On Monday Show, Brad Cordin said, you can have this thing,

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>just have it for free if you do a donation

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>for the Royal Melbourne Children's Hospital, which is a great idea,

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>an amazing place full of amazing people. So we're going

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to donate five thousand dollars to them. And we get

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.279
<v Speaker 1>this beautiful car and it's about to arrive now. It's

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>a Commodore two thousand and two Commodore outside the front

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>of the building, ready to receive it, see it for

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the first time with his own eyes, seeing history. It's

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Jack Post Any baby, Christian, I can hear you. So

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you're out the front Enrichmond.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm standing in the driveway of the radio station. We

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 2>have time this perfectly. We just spoke to the tow

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.839
<v Speaker 2>truck driver. He is around the corner from the radio station.

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>We're going to get our first eyes on our new Holden,

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 2>our new baby.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Where is Rio? Is he dancing out there on the streets.

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 2>He's next to me. Can you can dance to keep warm?

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>OLLI?

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm actually doing a little bit of a jig

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 3>because it is freezing out here.

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh what do you mean? Is this is it? What

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:39.759
<v Speaker 1>can you see? Guys?

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>The tow truck is coming down the street, but somebody's

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>reversing out of their driveway, so he's just paused so

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 2>we can't see it. Give us a second.

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 3>It's approaching. We're about fifty meters from the Holden.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I've got my first eyes on it, as promised. It

0:01:54.960 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>is a Holden Commodore in a delicious rusty gold in.

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, it's still got the air freshener dangling

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>from the reb school. But there's duct tape on it.

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>The tars are one a piece of grasp.

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Now I wonder we said you're gonna have it for free.

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>It's very dusty.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 2>It's got an inch thick of You couldn't even put

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 2>a cloth over it.

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Brad, shame on you. We got this two days ago.

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Man, it kind of looked like the looks like the

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 3>windows are like not falling off.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 2>But there's a big white looking something about it coming

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>on the back of the tow truck. With the tow truck,

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>it looks like something from a crime scene. They've drenched

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>it from a lage.

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>We put a listener in that we're losing a listener.

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>We got a lot of work to do, but what

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 2>it has is plenty of potential.

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I will say.

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 3>We're having a lot of trouble with the tow truck

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 3>trying to get through our very narrow suburban boomgate.

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're stuck in the trip.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>We have stopped, you know earlier when you said we've

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.519
<v Speaker 1>tying this to perfection. The only bit we haven't turned

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.519
<v Speaker 1>is how to get it into the actual station in

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the car parking spot out the front. He's reversing out.

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Are you giving are you giving up? Or you're gonna

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>give it another? Go another go through the through the exit. Wait,

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>he's reversing a tow truck. Listeners, you need to understand

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it is a very very narrow entrance against this radio

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>station with a boomgate as well. It's I have a

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>needle to get that in. I mean, I was about

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>to say he's going to direct the young to hold him,

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't matter. I don't think you could do

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>any more damage to it.

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>No, the more I look at it, scratches on the

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>bumper barb. There's a dint above the driver's side wheel.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>None of this we were made aware of on Monday,

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>where we're not by aware. Brad, if you're listening right now.

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Trust went the last time you saw spider webs on

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>a car? Come on, you're kidding the spider worbs on it?

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Jack, give me an estimate how much would he actually

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>be happy to pay for such a thing?

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Ah? I mean, if he drives and you're in a

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>desperate situation, I guess you could pay like a thousand bucks.

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Wow, And this is our big Star Prize of the

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>next couplees. Watch out Carl and JACKIEO, because when you

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>come to Melbourne you can be dealing with shows like

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>this giving away a knack at old dusty with cobwebs,

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>holding commodore that's barely roadworthy.

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 2>We are through the boom gate, all right, we're in.

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>It's here, our car is here.

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>What's from the back? What can you see from the mark?

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Yet more rust?

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 2>The tobar is rusted. I mean that's just straight up

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 2>rust that's going to fall off any minute. That toba

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>the number plate is good. Maybe we're trying to look

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>for positives like.

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>That's I'm not hearing any positives at the moment. Guys.

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we should try and get a red shro for it, actually,

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>some kind of personalized plate or something we can add

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 1>to it and give it away.

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 2>So I want to shame that we're going to change

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 2>the number plate because that is the newest part on

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 2>the cars.

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 3>One of the side mirrors isn't taped in with duct tape,

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 3>so that's a positive.

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, okay, yeah, all right, so a lot of work,

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>some work at lots of work.

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, yeah, this isn't ready to be given

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>away as a prize if for at least three weeks.

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, I hope that guy the GM of ACM Autobots

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>is still listening. That offer feels like we're going to

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>need an entirely new car on every single component.

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>This is the Christian o'connells Show podcast
