  Speaker 1: You know how the great podcasters always have like a
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: little side hustle, Like so Joe Rogan commentates the UFC.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: So I've got my little side hustle. I am commentating
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the cheerleading Championships, the Asian Cheerleading Championships. Why money talks,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Baby money talks? Do you know how much of these
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: people paid? And I send their kids to like cheerleading
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and shit. So it's from like it's actually quite funny
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: because it's like little kids who are like three years
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: old all the way up to like university kids, right,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and it's like.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: It's a full on like it's a big deal.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Like how do you are you grading or just commenting.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I'm certainly I'm judging in my head, but I'm not
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: like I'm not a judge or anything like that. I'm like,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just on the mic being or like what's up, guys.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: But I've made a few mistakes. There was this one.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I should say, you know what,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I will because I think it's a normal mistake.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I made maybe things where from the lawyer, there's one
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I had to do where you do like a welcome
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to country, and when you do like a welcome to country. Right,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It's like I'd like to acknowledge elders of uh past,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: present and emerging emerging.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So I get up there in front of thousands of people.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: And this is the one thing I didn't want to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: stuff up. I'm like, don't stuff this up.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Out of everything you do today, don't stuff up the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: welcome to country. Hi everyone, blah blah blah blahlahlah. We'd
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: like to acknowledge those past president and immigrating. Oh my god,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: these words are coming out of my mouth and I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: want to keep going, oh my god, oh shit.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And yeah, what was the other one I did?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's it's actually canceled.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Is that what happened?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: No? No, no, not yet. So there's one of ours.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Is that like little teams and stuff that obviously come
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: out and they're given like weird names, like you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it's all got to do with like gemstones and all
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: that sort of stuff.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And these kids.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Come out and they're called the Little Twinkles, right right,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So I had to like, welcome, welcome, these these kids out.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, everybody, please, welcome to the stage. The little Twinkies.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Now, now, I had no idea until A lovely bloke
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: came up to me and said, honey, they're called the Twinkles,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: but don't worry.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I laughed at Twinkies. That was the funniest thing that's
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: happened all day. Anyway, Good job, Darles, keep it up.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I obviously had to keep going anyway.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Apologies to the little Twinkies Twinkles if you're.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Listening, Apologies to everyone, Apologies to.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Everyone who was there that day, past president and future, immigrating,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: emerging whatever.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm also I'm one of the great podcasters with
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a commentary career.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Oh there you go, there you go.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Former commentary career.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: No no, no, no, still be there.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Coming to a city near you, guys, coming up. I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: forgot where a where a car podcast.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: It's called The Driver's Show. It's called Paul and Gordy
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: formerly known.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: As formerly known as something else shit a legal action. Okay,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So the twenty twenty four Tesla Model three has been updated,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: or the updates have been coming. It's coming, right, And
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: we're not talking about a software update. We sort of are,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: but not so much. We're talking is it kind of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: like a design update. Usually when you get an update
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to a car it's.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Like a little cool, little add on, little this little that,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: little something something.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Now they're just taking shit away, like as if this
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't the most minimalist thing you've ever seen in your life,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it's now literally a couple of seats and some wheels.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're talking about removing even more stuff
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: from from these cars and hopefully Paul, Yeah, I just
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: find it remarkable because I think what's happening now with Tesla.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: They committed early on to not do big styling updates
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: because they were like, no, no, we'll just update the software,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the car will never change. Well, unfortunately the rest of
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the industry does that. People are used to that. They
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: want something different and fresh, and now the Model three
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: looks old. Model why looks old, and they're now doing
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: what appears to be a very minor styling update. And Tesla,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: who's ramping down production in China, that's sort of it's
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: slowing down.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: It really recommends looking old. It just looks the same.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Do you know That's what? Right?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Not old? Just it looks the same. And I think
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: that's the issue people have here. So yeah, they're in
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: a position now where all of this is starting to
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: look quite dated, and I think they're now falling under
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: the pressure of needing to update these cars and make
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: them look a little fresh. And yeah, it could be
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: an interesting sign of things to come, because it is
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: signaling that they are adopting the stuff that regular car
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: companies are doing now as well to keep people interested
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: in the product, because it's not enough to just update software.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: And part of that is making the interior more minimal.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, I just don't know how you could
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: possibly do that given there's two buttons and they're both
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: on the steering wheel.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: We're going to take away the seat belts because we
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: are now using magnets magnet as a future.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, it is.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: It is a little bit troubling for mine. But yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: look let's see what happens. Elon Musk is kind of
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: busy at the moment with Twitter, Tesla share price is tanking.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: It really is a bit of a troubling time for
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the EV brand.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: He's a busy man. He's a busy man.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Do you see when he rolled up to his first
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: aid Twitter, he took the kitchen sink.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I support what he's doing. All the stuff
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that's come out since he took over is showing how
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: much censorship there was for the people that the Twitter
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: people didn't like. It was like this lefty council on Twitter.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: We're like, oh no, no, I don't like that. We're
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: going to shadow ban you. And it's like, well, you
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: can't censor stuff and then claim you never did. So, Yeah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: a little bit dodgy, I reckon. Have you ever wanted
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: to go off road in your Lamborghini Hurrican?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, Paul, I have funny you should mention that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Tell me Moore, I've got something for you. It's called
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the Lamborghini Hurrican Stato. Now we need you to say
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that with an accent because there could be more lawyers
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: involved if you don't Lamborghini Uracan.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Oh shit, that's good. I thought that's good.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: God, I just got movement.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So this is basically an off road version of the Hurakhan.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: It was designed to go head to head. Well, I
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: guess kind of with the nine to eleven DAKA. It'll
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: still be powered by naturally asked bread V ten, making
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: almost four hundred and fifty kilowatts of power. Look, I
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: just think the nine to eleven wore it better. I
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: thought the nine to eleven looked way cooler than this,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: and this just kind of looks a bit. Yeah, yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you're not a fan of this.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I quite like it. I reckon it's really cool. But
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I get what you mean about the nine to eleven.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: But to me, in some ways, the nine to eleven
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: didn't look like it belong there either, but it has heritage.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: They used to have those sort of lifted off road
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: nine to elevens, whereas lifting a lambeo. You're really not
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: going to be able to do too much with this,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: so I just wonder what the purpose of it is.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: And it'll be expensive. I think the nine to eleven
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: was like six hundred grand. It'll be a limited edition version,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: it'll be bloody cool. But I just don't understand the
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: point of these. If you're paying six hundred k for
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: a nine to eleven, you're never going to take it
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: off road.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I love the look at these. I just think it
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: looks bad ass. It looks like something from Mad Max.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I love that they put roof racks on it. That's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: so funny. Do you imagine little.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Family roadstuff sticking a bloody you know, ladder on there
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: or something?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh god?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Or one of those pods that you use because your bloody,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: because you're event to have a child, and it accumulates
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: so much shit that you've got to take it up
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to the caravan.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: So we can take your doll's house. Put it in
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the pod.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: You take your kids doll's house? Do you sometimes? Oh? God? Oh?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But is that to Geelonglord? Is that proper road trips
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: for long? Otherwise?
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say, your dad, lady, you
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: were a dad that is under the thumb.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it looks really cool.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's unexpected to I wasn't expecting them to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: do this, but you no, neither was I.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: So I think it's I think it's kind of cool.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I'm beginning to drive it, take a bush.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Bashing and well, yeah, will you drive this?
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Do you think give it a fair old high?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: If if you want to bring me along, that'd be great.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I meet and Trev. That's good.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: But you guys go on a little b YD road trip.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Road trip meeting Trev, it'd be great.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You guys can bond and catch up on stuff. Yeah, yes, yeah,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: we'll go to Berry. There's a there's a donut van
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in Berry.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, bloody love it? You love it?
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Sick your ticker wouldn't love another donut?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Not me. If you're talking about Trevor poor bus Is
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: on death.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: When we had a chat to him, I'm pretty sure
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: he had a bottle of Gaviscon just I'm just sitting.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: In front of him.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that is.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: It's it's a reflex stuff. I know because I take
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it a lot. Ye look.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Verdict on the twenty twenty three Lamborghini Hurakhan Stratator Paul
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: thinks average. I think fucking awesome, except for those. They
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: just look like tacked on lights. Don't do you know
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: That's what they are?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Are they? I don't really know. We'll go down to bocf.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Your father needs to get some lights for the Lamborghini
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Hurricanes or fucking Storata. Speaking of which, I need to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: pick up a pack of Long Beach Ultra Mars on
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the way, please. Craig Craig review time. Are you ready
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: for it?
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah? The twenty twenty three Volkswagen Amarok prices start from
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: thirty seven five hundred dollars all the way to eighty
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: eight thousand, seven hundred dollars for the top Spec.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Before on road, Paul went to South Africa and got
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to drive an immorrok Is that how they say it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: over there?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: That was a they called a Bucky.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I need to drive me Imerok's did? My eyes are beginning?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm channeling that movie The Power of One. That
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: was a quote from the Power of One.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Dead Dead, My eyes are beginning, Shut up, son.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, we went to Cape Town.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Actually the funny thing as well, just before we get
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: onto Amrock. You know how the world is trying to
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: go ev and then.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Putting a job.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: But yeah, well they're not going to work great in
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: South Africa. Literally, the first night I was there, I
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: was asleep and got up at like four am, sort
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: of bit jet lagged. Go to the loop, flick the
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: lights on. None of the lights were working. I'm like,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: the fuck is happening here? And all the power was
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: off and I was like, okay, So I went to
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: the bathroom, got back into bed. I thought maybe I'm
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: just hallucinating.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Were you staying in one of your Pavo hotels? This
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: is quite a nice one.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Anyway, six am everything switches back on and I thought,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: weird dinner that night, we're halfway through the dinner service
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the Cape Town. Cape Town, everything
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: switches off and so these guys have rolling power outages
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: because they can't support the new work over there.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Also, it's like scheduled.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: It seemed like it was because the second night in
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: the hotel, the same thing happened. At a certain time,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: they just killed the power and during the nighttime it
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: just randomly switched off. So now, if you can't even
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: run the lights in your country, how are you meant
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to run a network of EV's. And I did not
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: see one EV I.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Was that your hotel? Was that just Cape Town? Did
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it happen in Janni's Big Well, we.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Only transitd but it was just in Cape Town that
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I noticed this. But I have read that South Africa
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: has a lot of issues with power. But yeah, so
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: look outside of that, Cape Town is absolutely stunning, Like
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: it is an incredible place. So yeah, went over there
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: to driving you Volkswagen Amrock. For those who don't know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: this shares a platform with the Ford Ranger.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I feel like it shares a lot with the Ford Ranger.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Well, it's virtually identical with the skin. Mind you on
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the outside shoulder line down is unique to Amrock, so
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: all the panels and stuff like that. Inside the cabin,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: they've made a few changes there as well, except they
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: got very shirty. I asked why it doesn't have cup
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: holders under the airvent like my Ranger does. Oh god,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: and actually when I asked anything to do with the
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Ford Ranger, they've got very shirty.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: So well they would anyway.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Look, we drove the V six diesel and
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: the four cylinder off road. There is also a petrol
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: turbocharged petrol version coming to Australia and that shares an
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: engine with the old Focus RS, so that should be good.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Fund.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're going to launch in a number of trims,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: from entry level basy boys stuff all the way through
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: to the top speck which is called the Adventurer that
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: sits on twenty one inch Holloy wheels, big bully. Yeah,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: so look it drives very.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry before you get before you get into driving impressions.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: What's your vibe on the look? I actually really like
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: it. It looks great in person, especially with the variety of colors.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: So the blue that the Aventurer comes with is unique
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: to Volkswagen. So they won't offer that on.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: It's not a forward blue.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a Ford blue ironically, but I quite
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: like the look of that and the whole reason we
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: were in Cape Town for the launches. Amrock will be
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: built in South Africa. Yeah, so they've got a factory there.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: And look, Volkswagen's thing has always been that it's more premium.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It sort of has a vibe of if you're looking
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: if you're thinking about two different trade's ones in, would
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you compare that to the Raptor or the wild Track
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: wild Track? Okay, so one's in the wild Track. He's
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit rugged, a little bit boots boots to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the ground kind of guy. This to me seems like
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the guy, yeah, the form and the guy who or
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the guy who designed the building, the architect. He's got
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: his tucked in shirt and he doesn't actually really it's
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: not like he's picking shit up.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like you with.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Your with your Raptor, you're not going to put tools
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: in that card. You're the only tool in that correct.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: But actually the most important question I do have with
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: this with the Amarok and the top spec on the trade,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: does it have the penis measuring thing that your card.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Does it does?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, Unfortunately it's not long enough, so I think
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: it caps out at a meter and a half.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, jokes aside, if you had a meter
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and a half penis, which in your head imagine that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you should start an only fans Paul's only fans. But
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: it's just like you with a flaccid penis the whole time,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: flacid dick falls.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Just on the back of the ranger.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: We could just call.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just and you're sitting You're sitting down on
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the tray, so you've got a little bit of gut
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: hang and your legs.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Are sort of a little bit tree.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: The other day about enormous penises you and your wife.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, are you sure you weren't on you pawn? No,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: it was actually a documentary. I love that, Hahanan. This
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: is a documentary.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I swear it's narrated by David Attenborough, and this is
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you whispering into and then the man's giant penis slapped
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the buttocks.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Sweet some of them were genuinely enormous. Yeah, yeah, so
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I think it definitely has that sort of professional luxury
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: vibe to it. And they haven't announced pricing yet, but
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I suspect it is going to be expensive, certainly compared
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: to Rangers, so they keen to see how they price that.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Given it is the same car beneath the skin hands
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: off Raptor as well, so Volkswagen won't be able to
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: use the Raptor for any of their stuff, so it'll
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: just be up to basically while track in terms of
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: speck sharing.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Is it a similar technology with a different face.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: So the tech it's sink for, but it has a
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Volkswagen skin on it, and I don't love the Volkswagen
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: set up. So with the Ranger, you know how at
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: the bottom you've got shortcut buttons for the temperature and stuff.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: This doesn't have that good to go into several menus
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: to get to that, so there's no actual ease. So
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: for example, if you want to put the recycled air on,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: you have to press climate on the physical button and
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: then go into the climate menu and close the vents,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: which I think is just a bit clumsy. Same with
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: drive modes. With the Ranger you flick the drive modes
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: using the drive mode selector, whereas this you have to
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: go into the menu on the screen and then press
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: a button. Also, like the Range, I don't love that
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: it doesn't have paddle shifters, and that's not necessarily a
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: sporty thing. It's more just not having to take your
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: eyes off the road to use the fat, fiddly sort
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: of gearshifter. So yeah, I've got to share this as well.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: So we got a security briefing for driving through Cape
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Town and all the do's and don'ts because it can
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: be a little bit dangerous. And we're driving along and
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: for a while we had a high lux following.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Us that was eight blokes in the tray with the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: machine guns.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Well, it was like a little bit weary of it,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: and it followed us for ages and I missed a
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: turn off that we were meant to take to this
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: little off road area. So I pulled over on the
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: side of the road to do a U turn, and
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: he's pulled in immediately behind me, and I thought, I
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: think we're about to get carjacked here. So I've done
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: a U turn and accelerated away fairly quickly to our
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: next stop, and he followed the whole way. We get
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: to our next stop and then he all of a
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: sudden does a U turn and departs. And I said
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: to the guy at the next opposite. Just so you know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: we had this bloke following us for like most of
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: the way from the hotel, and he goes, Oh, it's okay,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: it's the private security. So they usually hired private security
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: to follow us around because parts of the convoy went
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: through I don't know South Africa all that well, but
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: what I perceived to be slightly shady area. He went
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: to the Congo and yeah, they followed us all the
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: way through as protection. So yeah, if you are from
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: South Africa and you listen to this, let us know
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: what it's actually like as a local. Is it as
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: bad as you know these guys made it out to me?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Or is it safe?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's bad. I don't think it's as bad.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I think that feels like a little bit of a
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: horror story.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let us know what you think.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Anyway, back to the car, this looks like an expensive, fellow,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: He just I would prefer the Raptor.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Any day of the week, purely just on looks.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I think the Raptor is going to be significantly more
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: expensive though.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Oh I thought you just said this was more expensive.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, we don't know pricing yet, but I
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: suspect it'll be more expensive than the equivalent Ranger, right, Yeah,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I don't think it'll be more than the Raptor. If
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: it's more than the Raptor, then they've completely lost their minds.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and has this got the all the sort of hardware,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: all the bits and bobs.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Of all the same beneath the skin. The Panamericana model
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: which sits one beneath that top speck I thought was
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: quite nice as well. That kind of tones it down
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: a bit. They use sort of like a crocodile skin
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: looking leather inside the cabin.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Oh god, that is a South African thing.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Ah, So yeah, I quite like that speck as well,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: and that rides on better wheels too. I've got to
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: say the ride on the Aventurer with the twenty ones
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: is pretty firm, so it's not Model I firm, But
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: you really want to know that your.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Your bum grapes aren't going to be safe?
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah wow, but yeah, fun times. I really enjoyed South Africa,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: really enjoyed driving this, and keen to drive it on
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Australian roads to see if it performs as well here
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: as it did over in South Africa.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: What sort of food do you get in South Africa? Oh?
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Look, the problem is you don't really taste South African food.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: They try and cater for international journalists that are coming through,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: scare us all. But I love bill Tong. So what's that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: It's like a dried, dried meat something like that. Yeah,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: it's kind of like a jerky yeah really nice.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Sounds like jerky to me.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it tastes very different to that. I've got
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: a lot of spices on it and stuff.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: It's sure it was beef. It wasn't like human.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Actually, let me let me check. Ll yeah, beef. I
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: think you can get it in different meats though, but
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: beef Biltong is the one that I've had before. I
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: quite liked it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Do they have the haptic touch, that bloody annoying haptic
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: touch that needs to do so well?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: No, thank goodness. So on the steering wheel, it's all
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: physical buttons. But the complicating thing is because you're sharing
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: a platform coming into the steering wheel or a whole
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: bunch of wires, and each one of those wires corresponds
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: to a button. And because the Volkswagen steering wheel had
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: three or four more buttons than the Ranger one, there's
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: a whole bunch of blank buttons, even on the top
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: spec Amarock model, which I think is a little bit.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Oh that's a bit. How's it going? They could have
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: redone that.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Exactly, so I thought that was a little bit lazy
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: on their part.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I still prefer the Raptor big time, big time everything.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Let's see what the pricing is. I think that'll be
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: the key part.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Anyway, anyone knows anyone, anyone from any REGI A dealerships
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: than when I have helped me out with the Wild
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Training Ghost, that would be amazing.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: So yeah, this will go on sale in Australia March
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: April next year. They reckon that supply will be pretty good.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Australia is the biggest market for Amrock globally, so it's
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: a pretty important model for Volkswagen and that should mean
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: that supply is great. So if you are a Ranger
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Bar at the moment, it couldn't be worth switching to
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: this because you will actually probably get this right on
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: sort of March April instead of having to wait ages,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: as long as they don't have any supply issues.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: So you know, what's a knaff touch on this car?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: The little compassy thing on the back, like the fact
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: that they've got something on there.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: The compass kind of feels a bit jeep.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: It does a bit, doesn't it. Yeah, it's not doing anything.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: You're not full of anyone. It's like pointing north.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: What do you do? Look up in the sky like what?
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: It's just silly. I don't know.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I think it needs something. I would have liked to
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: have seen more sports bars or something on this.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just wondering where that compass comes from. It
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: may have been a heritage Volkswagen thing, because I think
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Aventura is a name that they've used on other vehicles previously.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: From memory, Oh yeah, amarok Aventuras. It was an old,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: old one. It looks like it has the compass on
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: it there as well, if I'm not mistaken.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: So did you like driving this as much, equal or
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: way less than your current car?
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: It was different. It was a bit firm for my liking,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: and the South African roads that we drive on were
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: pretty smooth. So I'll be keen to see what it's
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: like here. I reckon it's going to be firm when
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: it gets here, but we'll see.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I'm hungry. Can we get a beer now? Yes? I
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: think we need twenty. Yeah, well twenty.
