  Speaker 1: You just bought one for you. Thanks for that. Sorry,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: someone else has been thrifty. But obviously I'm trying to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: save a bit of cash hard times. But I'm also
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: trying to save to get you a ticket on a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Titanic submarine. Hopefully I can get Trevor down there as well.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: That would be like, can you imagine Trevor in that thing?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: It looks like a bloody tin can. I'm seeing bigger
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: bloody cans at the Mother's group and then I would
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: be at the top of the water and delightfully watch
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: on the monitor. You're just imploding.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: But Cable, you just cut it, cut it.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's two. Well obviously there's two more words
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: on the whiteboard that we're now not allowed to mention.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, jeez, I hope my dog Taco
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: doesn't chase any cars soon.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Very good. I like that.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: But yeah, no, it was a good chat. So thank
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you for all your feedback. Send us for any questions
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: you want us to ask him, because we'll get him
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: back in again.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The jelly match with him versus Trevor is going to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: be happening. Yeah, I can confirm that will be our
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: pay per view events only fans. Wow.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Disgusting.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I just formed out that cookie a little bit. But
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: he was great. He was a good chat.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: The thing about him, as I said in the episode,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: he is one of those guys agree with him or
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: disagree with him. And some of the stuff he says
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I do disagree with, but I kind of go, well,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: at least he's got an argument for it, you know
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, he actually thinks about it and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: puts a rational point of view forward.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And what he said is right if you, like I mean,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: most car reviewers, you just cannot objectively review a car
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: when you're there on the manufacturer's dime doing stuff their way.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: So I think that if you are in the market
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: for a car in the future, just keep.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: That in mind.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Listen to ours. I'm not tied to fucking anyone. Well,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't give a shit, although I wouldn't be paying
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: attention to a guy who's wearing a windsheeter with a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: dinosaur on the front of it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Dinosaur with a walking stick hit a top. Wow?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Anyway, have you been tell me your goss driven anything fun?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, we're going to be talking about it next episode.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: But you got to sit in the taj Mahal of SUVs.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Oh wasn't it? Just wasn't it. Indeed, what I loved
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was you could sit in that car. You'll get a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: phone call when you sit in it, and they'll also
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: try and work you out with a better like mobile
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: phone plan, maybe an energy bill.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: That's really nice of them. Yeah.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: So we'll be chatting about the Mihindra on the next episode,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: so make sure you tune in for that one. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: we'll also be chatting Merch right in this episode.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that Merch is been chatting to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: our good mate Machines Plus. Yes, and they're working on
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: something pretty special. So we've got a lot of requests
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for like everyone was flooding out in box going hey
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: can I merch?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Can I have merch?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And our merchant I'm like, we should sell this shit.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: We won't, but we should. But so now what we
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: what we originally got was kind of what they call
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: like testing stock. Yes, you know, so now we're good.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I've got one on and nothing else, nothing else and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: free balling it. I like to call it's a very
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: dad post. But anyway, so we've got packs coming, so
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that'd be fun.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll draw a couple of people out at
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the end of this episode and then next episode as well,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: and will then need your addresses. So so Gordy can
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: personally deliver stuff just wearing his T shirt.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Just that's it. OHI jesus fucking cold in here, isn't it?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Kids? Close your eyes. They took.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So Tesla are lowering their prices and I kind of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: feel like something's in the works with this because they're
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: now going to be the cheapest they've ever been. Yep,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: so this could mean the new facelift could be dropping soon.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that's what's happening the problem, and it's
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: quite funny. I said this in a few episodes earlier
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: that Tesla they didn't want to be like other car
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: companies and other car companies when they have a new
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: model coming or it's been spied, sales drop off and
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: then they do runout deals so they can clear all
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the old crap out of the way. Well, Tesla is
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: kind of doing the same thing. There's been all these
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: rumors about the new model. As of this recording, it's
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: still been announced, and they're now gutting the price of
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: the Model three because demand has fallen off at cliff
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And if you're someone like my dad who ordered one,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: even though I'd said to him, Dad, there is another
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: one coming, you will be waiting for the new one.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So Dad ordered it because he wanted to novate Lisa
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and do FBT exemption and take advantage of the Victorian
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: subsidy which has now expired anyway. But so the new prices,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: depending on which state you're in habits, have the entry
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: level Model three starting from again, depending on the state
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that you're in and depending on the incentives, you can
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: get your hands on at around fifty five thousand dollars
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: and that is the cheapest state being Queensland for a
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Model three. Ree wel drive model why rewel drive being
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: sixty three to two double eight drive away?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Then that's on road too.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I mean that is bloody cheap.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: So that is cheap for you know, a luxurer, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I hate using the term luxury car because they're not
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: really luxury. When you look at the features compared to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: like a three Series, you're getting similar, if not better features.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Three Series is now significantly more expensive than this X three,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: which you could compare to a Model Y is like
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: a one hundred thousand dollar car. So I think that
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the value for money here is excellent. And this is
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: where Tesla is really going to do well in the
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Model three. In the Model Y S and X are
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: dead for Australia anyway, they sell barely any globally.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: But this is right where the core is.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: So I love the look of this and I'm keen
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: to hear from anyone that's bought one. Are you upset
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: with these price drops? Because the latest price drop is
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: circa where are we up to four actually up to
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: seven grand for Model Y Performance, so it's a huge
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: price drop.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Are you annoyed that the price is dropping? Let me
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: know or let us know, rather contact at the drivers
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: show dot com that are you? Does it frustrate you?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Look at that it's over four grand saving on the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: performance for the model.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: That I have.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Look at the Model Y performance, it's down seven thousand dollars. Yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: so it's a huge price drop and I think that, like, yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: it is interesting to see how this will pan out.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I also want to know if anyone's bought a second
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: hand Tesler, because I don't think resale they do that great.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I mean the resale on them at the moment people
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: are selling them, you know, literally they're putting a couple
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of hundred k's on them and getting rid of them.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But I'm talking the ones that are like twenty twenty one,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, you know, they are a couple of years
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: old right now and be interesting to see.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I just here's a few numbers I'll throw at you.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: So I've got alerts set up for Model threes just
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: to see.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: You know, what's who's who in the zoo.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so some of them and this is why people
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: in the US market use car market are going to
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: be hurting so much. Because an alert came through today
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: for an entry level Model three standard range thirty thousand
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: k's on the clock. They want fifty seven nine ninety
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: plus your stamp duty. You can buy a brand new
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: one in Queensland for fifty five drive away and it'll
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: probably be delivered in the next month or so. There's
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: other numpties here as well. They're trying to sell them
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: for seventy grand base models, like, are you guys actually insane?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: What about the model? Why? How much is that going
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: for at the moment? Model?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Why? Same story?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: People are trying to flip them, but they don't understand
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: that all you do is spend a minute on the
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Tesla website and you can get a brand new one.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So I think that that segment's going to be interesting.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: If you've bought this with the hope of flipping it,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: you are going to be very upset.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And I think the secondhand market and that sort of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: market to the flipping market too, is calming right down
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: depending on what model. My brother's still waiting on his
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Prito nearly two years later.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: He'll get it just as the new one's released.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: That's what I said to him, and he's like, I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: don't want to throw his dealer under the bus butt.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: His dealer is a piece of shit, So his dealer goes,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: we'll know the bill date in October this year. So
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: he's already waited a year and a half.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Why is he still waiting?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: That's what I said to him. So I'm like, by
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the time you get this, because his dealer said to him,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you'll get this probably about you know, four or five
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: weeks after we have this this bill date. You'll most
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: likely get it by the end of the year. Yeah,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, so what In my view, he should somehow
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: get on the top of the list for the new
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: what we've seen with the new Lexus.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, but I would be telling the dealer just have
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: me at the top of that list, because that thing
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: looks bloody unreal, I believe, compared to the and in fact,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: let's let's we'll chat about that in a second, because
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I have some information on that. Oh yeah, but yeah,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I think that secondhand market for evs is going to
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: be hurting now, so it'll.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Be interesting to see how it pans out. I've always been.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: In the opinion you don't want to buy a secondhand
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: ev that's more than three or four years old, because
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: in my mind, you're dealing with potentially ticking time bomb
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: for a battery. You don't know how that person has
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: treated that battery, and we know that if you constantly
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: fast charge the battery it will degrade quicker. So you
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: might have so right, yeah, absolutely, you might have someone
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: that only ever does fast charging that cars parked outside,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: so the battery is stone cold and they charge it immediately.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: That is going to affect the battery life. You don't
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: want to be stuck with that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Or you could have someone like me who like never
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: fast charges, only ever does a slow rac charging. And
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: you've got a battery that's in excellent health, but you
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: just don't know what you're getting.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So and there is no way of really knowing that
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that you can do like a battery health check on
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the cart.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you can definitely do that, but I mean
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: someone who is selling one of these at a premium
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: that has been doing that probably won't let you do that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: But I don't know I'd.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Be insisting on that if you're buying a secondhand ev
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: just make sure. And the other thing that's worth keeping
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: in mind that the batteries are warranted. But again with
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: the warranty, I think it's something like seventy or eighty
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: percent of its capacity after eight years, seventy.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Percent is still not great.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: No, imagine if you bought a car that was working
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: at seventy percent efficiency after eight years.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I mean it's still not great.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: How much are they how much are they quoting for
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a battery too?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: It's actually but it's like twenty grand.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, by the way, happy birthday, Oh thank you. Yeah.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And I know we're going to get into this story
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in a second. You've had a bit of trouble with
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the raptor, so you've had your sad face on, you've
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: had your grumpy pants on, and I thought i'd get
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: your present.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Oh Jesus, I think I want to open this.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: You will. It's well, there's things that fund of all
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the things you can stick up on it on your dash,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: like the thought. Since you've got the ruler on the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: back of your car, you've finally got something.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: To meta that is very vainy.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That's an actual replica of my dear.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Amplified seven hundred thousand times.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: No, no, it's quite accurate. So that's an actual mold.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I was doing that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: It has mold on it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: No, it's it's a it's a mold.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: So for those of you listening and not watching.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Gordy has given me an enormous dildo that has lots
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: of veins on it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, let's see something.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Nicknamed the Croatian Champ. So you can stick that on
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: board and it'll remind you of the show.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I should have had this on the dashboard when I
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: dropped the car. Off's gone.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Guys, can you please make sure you don't you don't
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: hit that because it Yep.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: The good thing is this is also adaptable because Trevor's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: just bought a new Cooper Born and you can actually
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: put this on the seat.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Bloody god.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: By the way, Trevor during the week going nuts on
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Twitter that he could get Taylor Swift tickets for the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: kids for kids whatever. Your kids are, thirty eight years.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Old, it's so funny. Well, thank you for that present.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: That's all right.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: No, you're welcome and need to take it home for
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. So yeah, back to my Raptor.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: So yes, I think I mentioned a little while back
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: that it had developed a wine from the differential yeah,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, that's not good. And I
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: booked it in for a service through the website, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: the earliest service they had was like a month and
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: a half away.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: So I was like, well, all right, I've booked it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I've written what the problem was. About a week.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Before the service, they call up and they go, oh,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: just checking what you're booking it in for. I said,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: for a wine out of the diff and they go, oh,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: this will need to be a diagnosis booking.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And then that's another way, right.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: They go, well, the earliest one we have is a
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: month and a half away, and I was like, fox sake.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: So I was like, all right, let's just book it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: And I said, well, just to be clear, am I
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: okay to keep driving this because if it's making noise
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: obviously I don't want to make it worse. And they're like, yeah,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: it's fine. So I was like okay. So time came
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: to drop it off. Dropped it off on a Monday morning,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: and I said to them, look, don't worry about a
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: loan car, because I.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Have access to other cars.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I don't want to take a loan car away from
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: someone who else who might need it.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And that's ridiculous. Even you've got a garage full of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: press cars, I'd be still asking for that loan car.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Sky.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Dropped it off and they called me at the end
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: of the day and actually no, they yeah, they call
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: me at the end of the day and they go,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: are you okay to pick it up tomorrow? And I
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, sure, that's fine. I'm like, how are
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: they going to fix the differential by tomorrow? And she
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: didn't mention anything at that point. Tomorrow comes and I
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: hear nothing. Gets to the end of the day and
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: they're like, oh, look, we're actually going back and forth
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: between Ford's technical department. We're going to need a hold
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: onto the car for a bit longer. And I was
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: like okay. And at this point I opened up my
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: app and I could see that the car haven't been
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: moved or driven since the end of the Tuesday when
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: they called, so it had been sitting there.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: And Friday came and I'm.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Like okay, and they leave me a voicemail and they go,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: so it turns out we're going to need to replace
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: your diff and I was like, okay, that's quite a development.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: As I call them up and I was said, oh,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: what's the go.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: And they go, well, apparently it didn't have enough diff
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: oil from the factory.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: So I'm like okay.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: So I've been driving it around for five thousand K
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: without enough defoil from the factory.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Geez, don't they do those sorts of checks when they
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: had a car over?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, and the other thing as well, and they.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Did quite you did quite a detailed video direct.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Well, that was the thing. So we did two things.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Firstly, like these cars were checked over at the factory,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: so they got additional checks above and beyond customer cars,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: because there were four other three or four other journalists
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: that bought these and we all paid full price for them,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: like the same price that you would pay if you
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: walked into the dealer and had the same thing. So
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: they all got extra checks at the factory. And then
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: in addition to that, we then videoed the pre delivery
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: process where they do all of these checks.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: And I presume one of those checks is making sure there's.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Oil in the diff So yeah, not thrilled with it,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: and I'll be interested to see how long it takes.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: And at that point I was like, well, look, I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: had loaned the car to my dad because he had
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: sold his car to buy Tesla, and so I loaned
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: that Rappor to him to drive, so he could have
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: fucked it doing burnouts potentially.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But it sounds like your dad, so I've seen him
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: down the chatty car park.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I said to the I said to the lady on
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: the phone, look, can I take a loan car because
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: right now the car has been out of action for
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: a week and it's now complicating things.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I need a car for dad to borrow. So they
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: said yeah, no, drums come straight away.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: So the car thing is frustrating. But I've got to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: say the dealer has been excellent to deal with. So
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: do you think no offense? But do you think that
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: sort of treatment goes out to everyone?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Look, I hope.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: So the dealer was Essendon Ford, so near the airport,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: and the lady that I've been dealing with has been great.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: They organized the loan car quickly as well, So from
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: that point of view, I've been very happy with it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: But I do hope that they treat other customers in
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the same way. And I do hope as well that
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: this isn't a bigger issue with the.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Raptor because there have been reported problems, which kind of
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: those things with a grain of salt too, because you
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: never know who's kind of coming out with these reporters.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: But I've driven the car just normally.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: I'd basically just drive it around and I've got the
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: baby seed and it we did some performance testing with
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: it. It was all just sort of pretty basic stuff. We
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: also had the same noise that mine made out of
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: a press car, yes, when we were doing that towing tests,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: and they replaced that vehicle, and finally it took three
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: or four months for them to get this to us,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: but we determined that the issue with the car was
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: apparently side strike, So the vehicle had had a side
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: strike on one of the wheels that had caused the
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: dift to come out of alignment. But I definitely haven't
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: struck any curves or anything with mine. I could get
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: it with the press car, but with mine.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: But also I kind of feel like, if you're doing
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: light performance work in that car and it causes side strike,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: as you say, what does that say?
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Well, that was with the press car. I mean, who knows.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: You look at some of the people that drive these things.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Are pointing your mate.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Very looks very much like you. Let's see what happens.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I'll give them benefit of the doubt.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: What I'm planning on doing when I get the car
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: back is doing the same thing that we did to
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: start with. Because if whatever we did to start with,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: which was light performance testing, does this again, then I
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: think there is a design issue that they need to
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: look at.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: So so yeah, watch this space.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: But yeah, problems with the interior, the glove box with box.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah they're fixing that. That was a minor thing. I
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: think something with the hinge on that. But that was
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: the only issue I've had and the differential.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And major construction issue at the car got aside from that. Anyways, Well,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: after all that, enjoy your plastic penis.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Yes, I'll take it with me when I
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: collect the car.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: You can pay with the plastic penis. You're walk into
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the dealership and just pointed in their face like you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you and you come over here. I want my raptor.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: You should take this to your next EV Council convention.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you how the installation's going?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Ye oh, Jesus put that down.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: So I promised earlier we'd have a very quick chat
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: about the Lexus GX. So the Lexus GX, the reason
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: it's so important is the previous General Lexus GX was
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: basically a Prito except in the States they sold it
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: with a naturally aspirated V eight. Yes, Prito here was
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: sold with four cylinder diesel out of high lux and
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: also a naturally asperated petrol V six at one point.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, but now there's development.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: So now now that Lexus has revealed the GX, they've
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: said that it's going to come with the same twin
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: turbo V six petrol out of the LEX which is
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: two sixty kilo's six to fifty meters ten speed automatic transmission.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: They've also said they're working on a hybrid, which is
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: the one out of the RX, which is a two
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: point four letter turbo petrol eight speed auto and that
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: thing is fun to drive as well. We think that
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: for the Australian market they will also do a diesel
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: out of the land Cruiser. Now, obviously this can't be
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: the same as a land Cruiser because no one would
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: then buy the land Cruiser.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: But the GX isn't this the same platform?
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: We have same platform, same wheelbase as a three hundred.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: It's shorter, but just because of the overhangs, I suspect
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: it will be slightly de kitted as well. The reason
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I think that this is going to be the Prido
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: is overnight in the States, Motor Trend has announced that
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: the land Cruiser is coming back to the States. Because
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: they killed the land Cruiser because it was too expensive
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: for the States, they're now bringing back the land Cruiser,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: but they haven't said what it's going to be called.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: And I have a feeling they're going to do a
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: global land cruise of Prato. In the States, it will
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: be basically a slightly despect version of the GX, and
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: for the Australian market it will be a slightly despect
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: version of their Prato. So it'll probably be diesel four cylinder,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Diesel V.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Six, Diesel V six ye.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: And I'm excited because this thing looks unreal, Like they
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: have one particular speck that is like the off road speck,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: and it's finished in sandy talk, which is the color
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: they have on the seventy series, a similar color to that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: It's got like roofrails, it's got big all terrains. I
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: think it's unreal and I'm really excited for this, but
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: it does tell me that the Prato is going to
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: get bloody expensive. Prato currently caps out ninety five k
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: for the Kakadu. I reckon this is going to start
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: at around the eighty mark, and I reckon it'll cap
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: out at about one twenty one point thirty, just before
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: you get into the good Lan Cruiser.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Kakadoo and the land Cruise is Sahara to me,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: it's like it's a little bit over the top screens
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. It's fine, but something
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: like the VX, which is second from the top.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I regon VX will be around the ninety k mark
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: ninety five, it'll probably be where Kakadu is now, and
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: maybe even a bit higher than that. But yeah, I
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: think toyet is onto a good thing. And I think
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: if you were Ford at the moment, actually not even thought.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you were Isuzu with the MUX, you
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: would be bloody terrified because you have one diesel engine
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: and you know, an interior that is now starting to
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: feel dated in terms of infotainment. And if these guys
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: roll out hybrid V six diesel, I mean it is
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: going to slaughter those vehicles. But it is significantly more
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: expensive than those.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And do you know what I think Iszuza will bank
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: on the fact that the wait times are astronomical for
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: most toyotas.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Toyta is going to have to sort that out. So, oh,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: like urge.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Massively, they pretty much shut down all production if there
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: was one component missing, say it was a chip shortage
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: for instance. Doing that most of the most production was
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: just shut down completely. They didn't sort of Yeah, I.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Don't think they've done what other brands have done, where
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: they've despect cars, and I think that's a good thing
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: because you'll see some some of the BMW press cars
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: we've had, for example, are missing things like radar crews control,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: a wireless phone charger because they despect it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: So he did the same thing.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you bought one of those thousands of cars
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: that are missing that, when it comes time to resell it,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I mean the buy is going to look at this
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: and go, okay, well, I'm obviously not going to get
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the one that doesn't have radar crews control, a feature
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: that's now standard on you know, some twenty thousand dollar cars, Yeah,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: twenty five thousand dollar cars. So I think that Toyder
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: kind of did the smart thing there, and as a
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: result of that, they created a huge amount of demand
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: for their vehicles, so it helped deals with margins.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Everyone was sort of happy with that.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: It's a backlog, though, isn't it It is. It's amazing
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: how long people are waiting for these cars, and how
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: long they're willing to wait.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: For these cars, exactly exactly, yeap.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, should we get into our cute little review.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's dop, well.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: You usually do, yes, yes, I well, there's help if
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I if I put this over here. Yeah.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: The twenty three k EV.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Sex g T Oh my god. So pricing starts at
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: around about ninety nine thousand. The figures on this now
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: look four hundred and thirty killer watts seven hundred and.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Forty newton meters.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Have talked crazy numbers zero to one hundred in three
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: point five yeap. Range is about four to twenty, which
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: is kind of a bit on the average side. Fast
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: charging was pretty good too.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: For memory e one hundred volt architecture.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Yeap, so eighteen minutes from ten to eighty percent. Long ago,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: we did the EV six and I loved it. I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: loved the GT line. I thought it was great. It's
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: so well put together. What do you think of the
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: styling of this car, because the GT and GT line
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: they're very similar in terms of looks.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the rear of this car the best.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: I think it looks fantastic. Those lights look sensational. And
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I also like with the with the GT that you
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: get different color breaks.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, and the breaks to me make it those big
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: popin kind of fluoro green yellow breaks, they're the big standout.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: That's the big thing that's going to tell you that
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: this isn't the normal EV six. This is the GT
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: as opposed to a PUNSI little badge. I guess styling wise,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I would have liked a little bit more extra styling
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: on differentiation.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what Yanda is doing with the five N.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: They're making it look very different today.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: They've always done that with the end generally, which.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: I think is a good idea because if you're buying this,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: you probably want people to know that it is the
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: faster one. But maybe Keath thought, well, look, this is
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: enough of a polarizing design that we won't actually sort
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: of go too crazy with with.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: You know, making it even more different.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I just like the fact that they have really thought
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: about this as a performance vehicle as well, Like they
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: have a proper battery cooling strategy, the big breaks, you know,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: they've got the different suspension here, as well, So this
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: has basically it solves all the issues they had with
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: the IIC five of the first generation of that. I
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: think this has a twin chamber design, so they're basically
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: a much much more progressive setup. It's also adaptively adaptively
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: damped as well, so you really do get the best
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: of everything here in terms of the way that it
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: sort of performs.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think on the inside too, in terms of
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the interior does look again, there isn't To me, there
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: isn't too much of a difference. I mean the seats
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: actually there are sort of bucket style seats if you're
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: like manually adjustable set, That's what I was going to say,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: what's with that? They're not going to save on They're
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: surely they're not going to save on weight with that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the story is with that.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: But manually adjustable seats, I just on one hundred thousand
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: dollar car I think is an absolute joke.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Same with the wired Apple Car Play Android Auto. I
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: just I don't understand it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Kia and Yanda keep claiming that's a vendor issue,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: but it's like, what is.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: That like a when you say a vendor software problem?
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: But I feel like it's more of a patent thing.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Well, they've had this issue now for years. Everyone else
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: seems to be getting along fine with wireless car play.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know, and they also offer wireless car play
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: in cheaper key model, so I don't know why they
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: can't figure it out, but I think it's really hurting
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: them on the technology front. Yeah, I do like the interior.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: It's I don't know, but my issue with these is
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: just that they haven't thought about the practicality of an
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: EV all that well, if you compare this to a
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: fast tesla, you don't really make any compromise on storage space.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: In a fast tesla, you still have the same type
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: of storage that you do in a long range or
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: the entry level. I think that they probably need to know, yes,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: have a focus on performance, but also have a focus
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: on that other stuff. I did like that this has
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: a drift mode which genuinely switches off all of the
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: safety aids and sends talk to the rear yep.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty cool.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: It is fairly unhinged when that is active, though, so
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: don't try it on a public road.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's I think it's a really
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: good effort.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: It's just yeah, not that efficient, which means you're driving
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: range isn't going to be great.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And that's going to go down to when you're driving
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that in proper GT mode, that's going to go down
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: as well. You look at the numbers on this thing.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: The numbers that it's pumping out are amazing. The zero
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: to one hundred and three point five. I mean that's
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: faster than a portion nine to eleven a Ferrari Broma,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: fucking whatever. I'm not Italian, but you get my point.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: It's the numbers are incredible, But does it have the
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: cred or does it sort of deserve to sit side
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: by side next to those cars?
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Well, look fast in a straight line. The handling is good,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: but it's not amazing. So yet to drive an EV
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: outside of probably the Tykhan that is really settled in
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: terms of the handling. Because they are so heavy and
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: because they have such a low center of gravity, it
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: is tricky to make this comfortable and handle well. You
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: can't really have both, and I think they've got close
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: enough with this. But yeah, it does still feel heavy
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: when it's driven faster at the track, so I think
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: that is worth keeping in mind.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I think you'll bang on with that too, because my
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: first impressions were is this going to be something that
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to love like a nine to eleven or
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: is this going to be a Keia with a party trick?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And it feels like a fridge with a party trick.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, the drift mode's called, there's not really that much.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think you'd take this to the track. It's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: not the sort of car you take to the track.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: It's got no race tech in it whatsoever. It's cool
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: that the fact that it goes zero to one hundred
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: and three point five, the way it handles on a
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: highway at that speed, I wouldn't buy it on that alone.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I kind of got bored of it, to be honest.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Well, that's why I think the GT line is the
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: better option. That is well and truly fast enough, and.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: It does have that cute little boost button. Then I
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: think you get in the Genesis so you.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Do save your money and it still does most of
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: the stuff that this does, So yeah, I don't see.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: And the other thing worth mentioning is I kept referring
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: to Tesla here, but if you look at a Model
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: three and Model Wide performance, you still get the performance
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: out of those, but.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: You get handle better too.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you get all the tech benefits.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: So I think these guys have spent a lot of
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: time focusing on performance, which is great, but then let's
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: have a look at tech and making that all really
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: sing with over the air updates and other sort of
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: fun stuff. And I just don't think it has all
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: that fun stuff that they could be otherwise doing at
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: the moment.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I think save yourself fifteen grand, go
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: for the EV six GT line fifteen grand for a
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: cool little three point five. I think you'll get bored
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: of it. That's my thoughts. Yeah, was that a quick
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: ass car of you.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: It was kind of summed it all up.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: That's efficient.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Let's chat DMS. What have you got in there on
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: the dam? Who are we sending merch to?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I think I think we've got a new piece of
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: merch right here.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Let's stick it.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Why am I holding your birthday?
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Someone is either going to get a T shirt or
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: this enormous dildo.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Actually, I should ask Machines Plus if they can put
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: our logo on that.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: On the shaft.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine Gussie's thing? You want me to put
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: the logo on the binis okay, I can do that
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: for you, for your boys anything.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, So let's kick off with emails.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Contact at the Driver's Show dot com today you if
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: you want to shoot us an email.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: This one is from Daniel, not Daniel. Funny enough.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: We do have a message from Daniel and wow, interesting one.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: We'll get to him.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Good Daniel Daniels, Hey, guys, love the show. A couple
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: of things from today's EP. We had a carbecue come
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: to my Ford dealer in Melbourne for a Triple M day.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, so he's talking about when we were talking
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: to Jonesy about radio cars. Yes, yes, so Merrick Watts
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: when he was on Triple M he bought I want
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: to say it was one of the old Falcons and
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: turned it into a carbecue. He literally had this big
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: ass barbecue out the back. Phenomenal thing. I'm going to
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: get mess on the show actually and I'll get him
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. But yeah, an incredible thing, just
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: just amazing. He ended up I think he funded the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: whole thing himself. If not, he definitely bought the thing.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: And yes, this was a promo car went round to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: people's places and workplaces and.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: It's unreal, he said.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: A suggestion you could do for fun, get old carmags,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: read the reviews, then try find the same type of
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: car now through car clubs, etc. On a retro review
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: car like that. The two Hands car was sold at
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: auction in Melbourne about ten years ago. And talking about
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: the Two Hands movie, it's based on a Sydney Underworld
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: figure now passed away, but the club in the movie
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: was called the Pink Panther. After the movie, it added
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: on the door two hands required.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: That's cool.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: There's also a true crime podcast which is called Loose Units,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: which has discussed this club, by the way, cool and
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: it signs off by saying I'm Dan, by the way.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: But not Daniel. That you guys keep referring to. Thank
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: you for that email. Dan.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: That is really cool and I actually love the whole
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: idea of having a look at old reviews in car Maggs,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I reckon, that's great having old car bags lying around.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Oh you know what I used to have. I used
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to have boxes and boxes of unique cars Unique Cars bag.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's still around.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Actually I think it died recently.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Ah well, I had boxes of those. It is still around,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: So Daniel and by the way, Daniel originated from the
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: dickhead who quite liked the podcast but thought our humor
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: was a tad pura. Well, look who's come out of
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the works asking for merch. I ignored his DMS and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: he just wore, okay, good chat. And then I went, look,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. I actually was nice to him.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Oh that's unlike you.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I was like, hey, listen, tell you
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: what when we get the good stuff in, I'll send
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: you some merch blah blah blah blah blah. And then
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: he wrote, can you stop being nice? I want the
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: abusive Gordy from the podcast, and I just stopped replying.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Fucking just tell him We'll send him some merchant.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll tell you what he's getting there, Daniel. Actually,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: just just go, Hey, Daniel, this is for you. Stick
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: that up your ass.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Just sent a great little video to Daniel Gold. Here's
• 33:59
