• 1:18
  Speaker 1: final total. But Susie, I think in one hit.
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: I have to say I feel a little responsible for
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: Susie's bill and pain because we lived near each other,
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: and we often see each other on the road having
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: into work in the morning. And she pulled up behind
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: me a few weeks ago, and when we got here,
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: I said, do you realize only one of your headlights?
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: Oh dear, you're driving in you know, Dylan style on
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: one headlight?

  Speaker 1: When you're talking about that amount of money, sixty five
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: cents gets important too.

  Speaker 6: out of there and had some damage which they failed
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: to inform me, and ended up back in a different

  Speaker 6: mechanics a couple of weeks later and it was undred
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: and sixty dollar bill.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: No, were you able to get any you know, sort of.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: Is there anything you can do about the first misinformation?
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: No? No, I went back to the mechanic who did
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: the work first time and tried to get a claim
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: through them, and they basically just threw it out the door.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: We need we didn't see it. We didn't see it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: The next one saw it. The next one saw it though, Oh.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because my car went into limp mood and I
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: had to get it to the mechanics and they diagnosed it. Yes,
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: one hundred money.
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: The first one got a strongly worded Google thanks good, only.

  Speaker 4: Morning, Dylan, morning, What.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: What did it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: So?
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I drive a twenty fifteen BMW. My turbo had a
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: crack in the pipe m my cylinders were also misfiring.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I needed a full top end engine rebuild. It was
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: fifteen grand. Oh and it's still in the workshop now.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Oh no, how long.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Because I had to go. I had to send it
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: back because I had another code come up. Oh god,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the censor in my car was failing, which is about
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: eight hundred dollars, and I need a new turbo plus
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: a catlic converta, so that would be about another eleven
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: to twelve.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, do you have a sort.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Of an emotional attachment to this.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Particular after after this, I've probably done about thirty grand
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: on the car and I've had it. I've had it
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: since November last year.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Oh no, you know, David, I reckon.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: You know we talk about older cars and how they
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: just went on forever and ever. I think that's just
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: because they didn't have any senses on us to tell
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: us that something was wrong, and we just kept we
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: just kept going away.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: This is fun, like it might tells you everything. Now,
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: ignorance is just.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Look at it and go, oh god, there's money. Thanks Dylan.
• 5:44

• 5:54
  Speaker 1: moves first to get it to to get it to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the You know, it also takes long.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: It does nothing good.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, we're looking for the most you've spent in one
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: trip to the mechanic, even when you thought it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Wasn't going to cost you a thing. Now this wheel
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: balanting is free, right, Oh you bet?
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: You absolutely.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Oh, well, you don't get out the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: door for nothing.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: My friend.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: Total to beat at the moment is Dylan import Kennedy's
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: fifteen thousand dollars that he's spent on his BMW, which
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: led to Patrick in Craigie dropping us a text to say,
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: that's why BMW stands for bring my wallet, and that
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: reminds me Patrick of why FIAT stands for fix it again, Tony.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: They all have, Yes, they all have.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Jeff from Weller twenty two and a half thousand dollars
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: what years ago for some performance work on the well
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: A V eight commodore.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Okay, hey, look at more than double the power. He reckons.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: It's the best money he's spent. Everyone should do it. Yeah,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: do it on your Jeff.
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: All right, So that's that's the amount to beat? Is
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: it twenty two?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, so we're up to Yeah, twenty two and a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: half thousand dollars.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: That's a lot in one mechanic.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And he I mean, but he went in there, he wanted.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: It to happen.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well most of us that's not.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: That's not the case.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: David in mandra can take that twenty five grand and more, Hello, David.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: David Good morning, good morning.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Tell us your story.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: Well, the phrasing is.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Me and a mate both both took our thirty five
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: gdr Nissens in and we both spent this money. We
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: both booked our cars in on the same day. So
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to mate that could beat this like he's
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: his own. So we asked for thirteen hundred boost Logic
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: turbo kits to be installed to our thirty five gdr. Oh,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: they can't be capable of making beer horse power yep.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: So we also got the gearboxes equitect tuned. We put
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: full Tommy titanium exhausts on them so when you back off,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: they sound like a gunshot.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Race is completely last year yep.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: So to be honest, So they said they did as
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: a deal, so whether or not they did as or not.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: But it was.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Sixty thousand port, that's that's not even touching the engine.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: So my engine was stock. So all I did was
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: put the boost Logic kit on it with the exhaust
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: and all the boltons and an e eighty five tune
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: so the car could then run on that high octane
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: bull But it's still today to cast it in there
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: with a standard engine in it ready to be rebuilt.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: But they want another twenty five thousand to build the engine.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: But then they said, you won't make any more power
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: because the gearbox needs upgrading. You'll need to spend another
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: fifteen thousand the gearbox to get it to its full potential.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: For me, is it counterintuitive to say you're a winner,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: but you are?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm your winner or there any consolation.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: You're in the book on records, you know, which is fantastic.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you, welcome,
