• 1:12
  Speaker 2: back from Europe had a great time. Was there for
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the heat wave? The great Paris heat wave?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Now, okay, so I gotta ask you, because every time
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I go to Europe in summer, it's hot. But it's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: not that bad.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It's not that bad.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You know what is bad that they're too cheap to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: have air conditioners.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Do you know what it's It's not even that they're cheap,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: it's actually somewhat illegal, so especially in Paris. So what
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I've heard is because of the architecture of the place,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: people don't want to ruin it with the bulky widow
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: boxes and stuff.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So you go to a French hotel the lift is
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the size of a backpack. Yes, and it's like, can
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: we have a lift that's big enough for more than
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: one person? You go and have food and they serve you.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: God, you're a fatty bumballa you can't fit in the food.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I just really really dislike it. And then you walk
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: around the streets and it is it is not the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: place it used to be ten years ago in Paris.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Of Paris niece.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look, I I remember going to Paris
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: actually about fifteen years ago, and it was a fucking
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: hole like heroin everywhere, people in the street. It was
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: like real bad, right, it was similar to parts of Amsterdam.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: And then I went about ten years ago and I
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: loved it and it was really nice and had a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: great time. I think it depends on the part of
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: town you're in. Like we were literally in.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The Paris end of Paris, I see, and.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we were staying in like a fucking Airbnb's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: shoe box, and we copped the heat, but it was fine.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Like you keep the windows open, you get the afternoon breezes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I love a wind, I reckon, Yeah, it's fine. Don't
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you like about the place?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It's just full of gypsies.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And like, okay, all right, how a gypsy that's so
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: fucking Eastern European.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And if I go back to parts of my homeland, yeah,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the gypsies. There are the gypsies that get across the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: border and and they'll fight you if they didn't. Yeah,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and I know how to deal with a gypsy. I'm
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: not concerned about that. When my wife tries to talk
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to them. I'm like, don't fucking talk to them.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: What do you mean to tell me more about this
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: dealing with a gypsy? I'm going to stop now, No,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: tell me more. How do you deal with a gypsy?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: How do you deal with the Croatian gypsy?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Can't be nice to them? Why? Because they're gypsies. I'm
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: going to give you an exact.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I want to give you my gods for your wife
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and you.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And I learned this from from my auntie. We went
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to visit her. She was in Serbia. I got family
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in Croatia and Servia, so I went to visit her
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in Serbia. And the latest gypsy game was to basically
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: stand in the car parks and they would move, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you'd have to pay them. And it's like, you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you're not a parking intendant. And what my auntie would
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: do is.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: That's I'm clipping this. I'm clipping this. Tell me to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the story.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if it was on purpose or
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: whether it was just because it was a hugo, but
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it did roll into very slowly into and then and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: then she would just unpolitely tell him to you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: how do you say fuck up in Croatia.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: What would you say, Zerbian? Yeah, ah, oh geez, look
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: careful of that whole angle.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Coming down anyway. But yeah, so I don't know, but
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this is this is the issue I had with France.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I did not feel safe walking around Paris or Marseille,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and to me, those places, like the architecture is nice enough,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: but I just sound like I'm complaining here. It's not
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: all of Europe. It's just mainly France.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I did quite like the French food. I think, yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: it is. I like how they're quite refined in a
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: lot of ways. I think a lot of it is
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: a bit of a production. It's not as a production
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: as if you go to the States, though, because the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: fucking States are a production.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: The States is all about size. And the thing I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: love about the States is if you go to Texas
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: or you go to some of the Midwestern states, Southern states,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: just the fact that a meal can just be a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: slab of meat or several slabs of different meat, that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to me is a meal. I don't have a sophisticated palette.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So you can take your snails and all the other
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: ship they make in France. You could have all that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: on the It's not interested in it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Oh well they will be letting the French concho. Let
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: know about this. I went around France in a in
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: a minimoke, but it was an ev it was weird.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: It was fun though, that was good fun. And then
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: by the time we stayed in Monopoly. If you have
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: been to Monopoly in Italy, so it's very I recommend it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It's underrated. It's kind of like the the cheap Yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: we literally don't worry. There's a get out of jail
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: for free card. There's it's basically the cheap end of
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the Amafi Coast, i'd say, or the other end anyway. Whatever,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: But stayed in the old town. It was really nice.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: But you know what I did do. I did take
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: around a little fit five hundred convertible and they call it,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I think they call it a feat jolly or a look,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. It's a very manly car. As we
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: were talking, off air and so it's basically there's they
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: hardly made any roof off and the seats not in
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: this one, but the seats are kind of basket.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, so far from a jolly in
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a rare open air beach car built by the design
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: house gear in the late nineteen fifties and sixties.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: For these billionaire or millionaires to get around to their yachts.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And distinctive wicker seats and a fringed canvas just like
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: your hair. Yes. Interesting.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they've got like this weird canvassy kind of top. Yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it's like a it looks like a some sort of
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a pagola or something.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: It literally looks like something one of my uncles in
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Serbia would build. Yeah, out of a yugo.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you chop up a you go, you go down
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to Croatian Bunnings and you sell this to the billionaires,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: which is really weird. So you buy one.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I've tried.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I loved it. I really loved it, and I tried to.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I looked up how much they would be over here.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: One hundred and sixty thousand dollars for that tiny look
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah yeah, there's only one in Australia. Yeah, And
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: then I thought, well, hang on, let's look at how
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: much they are over there, and there's not many of them.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: They are rare, but they're like forty thousand euro wow,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: which is about say seventy.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at a site here. They do recreations of them.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: So I wonder if you can buy just like a
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: standard five hundred that they then sort of tub and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: then do this too.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe, But yeah, it was really fun interesting. I went
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to this We went to this site of this famous restaurant.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You would have seen it probably on Instagram at some point,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: but it's carved into the side of a cliff, right,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and it looks amazing. You've got this blue water down below,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and it's this incredible looking restaurant. And actually it's got
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: secret connecting. I was into the local palace. Yeah, so
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: like they stopped doing it now, but the local royalty
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: would be able to take the fucking secret tunnel directly
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: to this restaurant down Yeah, take a couple of gypsies
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: down there, gypsy and anyway, So to get in to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: this joint, it's about four hundred bucks ahead.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Obviously left the kid at home.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Actually I think it's I think it's three hundred euro.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't go. My sister in law and brother in
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: law went and they said, I think it was around
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: three hundred euro. The food was not worth twenty bucks. Yeah,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: you pay for the French food, No, you pay for
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the view.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It's in Italy, dumb mass what I thought maybe it
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was a French restaurant.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: You really hate the French.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know what you're talking about. This is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the first time I've mentioned the French in this episode.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Oh is it because the other people was No, we're
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: keeping that in. I'm keeping that in.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: How's your how's the super Duty?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: You know what it's like? The at five hundred? Jolly?
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Very slow?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're did a modern right.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going to have to because it should
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: sell it. It's getting to the point now where it
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: is unbearably slow, to the point where I'm like, I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: have to really plan overtaking and just accelerating. Like, I
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: don't understand how nobody twigged during the engineering process that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: this thing was as gutless as it is just standard.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised you didn't, to be honest, Like, you look
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: at the figures on paper. It doesn't look like it's
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: setting them.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I ordered this in April twenty twenty five, so
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I paid the deposit then, so it was kind of
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: not committed, but sort of committed. So yeah, look, I
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: don't know it's going fine. I enjoy it, it's just
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: it needs a kick up the ass, basically. So I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: don't know what I'll do to make that happen, because
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: if I modify it, you on the risk avoiding the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: warranty and all that sort of stuff. So I've a
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: little bit of think about it, but yeah, I will,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I will report back.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: You like your big American vibes, you know you like
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: your American car? Do you play your country music in
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: that sometimes? Yeah, super dooty.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Bit of del It's a good room sort of country.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Don't don't sleep with my cousin cause she's a cutie.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I'm poor Meyeric and my super.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Dooty very good, very good. I could.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I know it's a bit naughty, but I hate her booty,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: poor Merrik and super dooty. Well, I'm driving the jymney
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: at the moment.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Let's start that song. Yeah, okay, you got your inny
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: in your jimney.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: My mustache is a little bit whimsy beep beep he comes,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: God he in his little jimney or what about it? Actually,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you like your commodorees, So maybe we could have Maybe
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: we could would be as like Australian hip hoh, like.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: The riding hoods. What do they called the riding hoods there.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the fucking Hilltop Top Woods. That's it.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what's up? My dad's in prison getting bummed
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: by blokes. I get send a link because my mom's
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: had a stroke. My mates come around and have the
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: glass Barbie. It only took us twenty minutes to change
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the SS Comodore Carby.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I like it the AFI, but that that was so close,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: thank you, so close.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: That's not bad um not the Iron Lion. So anyway,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I had a bit of a fun time in the
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: young day Ionic six.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: N Yeah, it's you know what. I haven't driven it,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: but the guys had one through the office the other day.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: It was a matte gray one. Oh nice spoiler, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: actually looks really cool that that only six looks pretty shit,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: just standard. Yeah, the end looks aren't real.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I reckon if you didn't tell me, they'll
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: related cars. Yeah, i'd believe you.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Like, it actually does look completely different, and it's weird
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: because you know what it is. But you're like, hold on,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that actually looks really good.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: It looks so good.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had the baby blue. I don't like the
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: baby blue.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I think that color dated very quickly.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, It's become their signature throughout the whole end line, though,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: hasn't it? Yeah?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It has, But I reckon it's time for a little, little,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: little tweak makeover.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: It is an unmistakably great looking track looking car, right,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and it looks cool and I mean, fuck you look
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: at the figures on this, three hundred and fifty kill
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: DC charging. What else you have? Four hundred and seventy
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: eight killer what's seven hundred and seventy new meters of
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: talk zero to one hundred I think in three point
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: two seconds? Like it's quick, and I mean I know
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: evs now are quick, but this is this is different.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Like there is like they did with the Ionic five N.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: There's fucking really really really good engineering going on in
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: this car. Like it's so well put together, it's such
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: a solid car. Fake engine noises, Well, these guys started it. Yeah,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and they did the sorry, they started the fake gear shifts. Yes,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And that's the difference here with yan Day and the
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: other EV brands. They kind of led the way with
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: all the EV engineering and Albert Bierman, who was the
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: boss of the N division, he came from BMW'SM division
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: and he's since become a consultant, but he was responsible
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: for all that stuff and gave them the brief that
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: this is a fast car, but it needs to be
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: more than just a fast EV. So they've got the
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: drift modes, the talk.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Distribution, the gear shifts, the insane region breaking when it's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in its track mode. It is a really impressive vehicle,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and that the features in that spawned features in other cars.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: So the new Tychon has like the fake gear shifts
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: now as well.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what I was thinking when I was
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: driving this around, especially giving it some like chewing the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: ass out of his car around a corner. You're thinking, Fuck.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Porsche, what was his name?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Little Parlo? He sorry, you'd you'd honestly want to be
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: taking notes Porsche, because like they were doing some really
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: good stuff with that.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just very quickly on Porsche. We just
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: published our review of the updated nine nine two GT
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: three Manual, and you know, Porsche, I reckon, they're in
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a spot of other So Porsche listed publicly, and when
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: they list publicly, it means that you can track the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: stock price and you can understand how the company is doing.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Porsche's in a spot of bother they're down like between
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the peak and now they're down something like sixty percent
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: on the share price. A lot of that has been
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: driven by the incessant push for electric cars, which is
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: backfight because no one is really interested in an electric Porsche,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and it's our resulting in them having to jack the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: price of all of their interesting cars up. And that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: GT three, the nine nine to two point two is
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a perfect sort of example of that, because what they've
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: done is it has to meet all these stupid emissions regulations,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: which I still stand by the fact that it is
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a dumb idea to require a sports car like that
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to have emissions regulations when it is a lightly sold vehicle.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: It's resulted in it having less output, and with less
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: output comes less accelerations. What they did was they adjusted
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the gearing on the six speed manual because it doesn't
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: get the seven speed that the non GT cars received,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and as a result of that, the gearing is now
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: just insane. So you're doing one hundred k's an hour,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: it's doing like three thousand rpm. So you can't actually
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: drive this thing because it just does your head in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: if you're on the highway and they've jacked the price
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of it up as well. It is now like a
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars proposition plus on road depending on
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: what you want to option.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: So that's base right before you option it.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: GT three this had a vice art pack, which is
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: again the first time they've offered this in a non
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: RS Again, it is just a case of trying to
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: extract money out of people. They're trying to balance the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: company by selling more of that stuff that people still
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: want to buy. So it is a dangerous game to play.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And then it brings the problem that a GC three
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: used to be, and I say this somewhat tongue in cheek,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: but an attainable sports car for someone who wanted a
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: track car. They knew they could drive to the track,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: drive out the track, and drive home.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Again, it was more like it was more than a
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: rich man fast car.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I mean.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: It was a proper enthusiast car.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And it's lost that appeal because I don't know, even
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: if you have that kind of money, no one is
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: going to be taking a six hundred thousand dollars Porsche
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: to the racetrack frequently. So I just then just don't
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: really understand the point of the car, which is why
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they have the touring, which is now the non winged version.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: You've got the extra two seats. So yeah, I don't know.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I do hope they come to their senses and go
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: back to normal, but yeah, it's.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Crazy that they're held by those sorts of those sorts
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: of law. It's like if if that's you know, it
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: just feels like these emissions laws have got companies by
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the absolute balls with this sort of stuff. Let's go
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: back to something more affordable. One hundred and twenty thousand,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: that's before you get this thing on the road. So
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: let's say one hundred and twenty five thousand for the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Ionic six N. What do you think of that price?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Because it's a lot, it's a lot, and the interior
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: is pretty like, look, I love this car, I really
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: love this car, but fuck you sit in it. And
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: they have made upgrades and updates to the whatever you
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: want to call it, the inne shift, the virtual gearbox.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: It's incredible, no doubt about it. But one hundred and twenty,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty grand and I'm still touching like
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: molded plastic interior.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I think what happened is they were
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: This is the issue. When you're a pioneer, right, you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: bring all this stuff to market first, you know, you
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: put your flag down. Unfortunately, the rest of the market
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: has gone down in terms of price, so all the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Chinese now have similar acceleration figures for straight like acceleration
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: or better, and they're significantly cheaper, So you no longer
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: have the motive of being the only person that can
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: do all this stuff. The Chinese have just copied all
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Having said that, though, the quality in something like this,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: and it's hard to explain, but just the overall package
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: you're getting, it's almost like the fluency of a car
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: like this compared to what China are coming out with.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: The copycup Zeka seven gt I dropped that in China,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that thing is similar to the Ionic five or six N.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: The acceleration is next level, the interior is lux like
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: this thing is luxury. The price of that over there
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: is significantly cheaper than these young day products. And there's
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: kind of the issue that a lot of these brands have,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: so Hyundai, the other Korean brands, Keia, all the Japanese brands.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You're running on brand legacy and people are starting to
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: care less about that, and that's a problem because you
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: can't charge insane prices anymore, which is what the prices
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: became over COVID. If you track the price of the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: last Generation four over COVID, almost nothing changed on that
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: car except it got more expensive. And a lot of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: car brands took COVID as a great excuse to jack
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: prices up. They never put the prices back down. And
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: they've now been caught out by the Chinese who said, well,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: not only can we beat that price pre COVID, we're
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: just going to hold a lower price now. And you've
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: got these cars that people are just not buying anywhere.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're Mitsubishi at the moment, now, will
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you be around in Australia And in not a long.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Time they are the next They are the next for it,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: hands down.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's it's interesting, it's a it's a fascinating
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: time in the in the car industry. And I think
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: we're just going to see more and more Chinese brands.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Like we constantly get emails from new brands that are coming,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: like this fourth thing is coming, Yeah, four.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Thing, four thing. It sounds like a game, sounds like
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: sounds like something down to the pokes. Yeas, please, let's
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: check in one hundred and the fourth feet. Yeah. Look,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I think the Young Day I'm excited for you to
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: drive this. Actually, I think they've made more than I
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: guess a fast TV. I think they've proved that some
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: evs can be genuinely fun drivers cars.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: And if that was their objective, I think they've been
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: successful with that. I think it's good. Oh I'm gonna
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna sprinkle a little bit of WTF on the
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Yundai Alexio. Right. So I had this car, and I'm
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: to be honest.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I've still got this car.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm just not driving it too much. It's not enjoyable.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: And I look at it, I'm like, why does this
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: car look so disjointed? Like the design of it. There's
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: no fluency about it, There's no It just looks like
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: it's a group project. And someone's done the back and
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: someone's done the front, and someone's done the middle. And
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I'm like, hang on, I've seen this before. This looks
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: like a Chinese kind of designed car and it is.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: So this is Yon Day Shanghai, and they've got this program.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it's called. But it's it's basically
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: their their motto is by China for China to the
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: world kind of deal, and it's not. It's just not
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: an exciting car. It's just like a medium sized suv.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: It's got this big fucking screen right, this big screen
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: in the middle. And you know how Yanda is still
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: pretty good with putting in physical buttons and all that
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: sort of stuff. No buttons here, no buttons chopper, no buttons,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: no fucking buttons whatsoever. I'm like, this is definitely from China,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: and the screen is a faff about. It's so funny
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: because I was looking at other other reviews on this
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: car and they're done by your influencer mums and stuff
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: like that, and it's like they've never fucking they're so impressed.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, you've never fucking jumped in an EV before.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Look at this Power's how okay? Look how look how
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: it's power Look How look how beautiful the interior as
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: it matches my outfait. I like, I can touch this
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: button and the air con comes up. Oh my god,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: it's got fucking heated seats. It warms my poor it's
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: got a beaver heat my Yeah.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: The issue with those types of people is that their
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: standard car is probably like a twenty year old shitter.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: So literally, any car is amazing. And that's why car
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: companies target those types of influencers, because not only are
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: they easy to influence to then talk about your car.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: To them, it's the best thing ever. Even if it's
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: a ship box, yeah, which I don't know if this
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: is having.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Look it's not. I shouldn't say it's a ship box,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna say I wouldn't buy one, but
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I probably shouldn't buy one. It's like sixty k. I
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: don't think it's anything remarkable. I think it's missing a
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: whole lot of significant things. And it's just it's not
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: really setting the world on fire. It's gutless. I mean,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: it's range is about five hundred and sixty kilometers that's
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: been conservative. Charging is slow too, like ten to eighty
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: in about thirty eight minutes. It just feels the design's clumsy.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: The interior has just average that screen, a massive screen.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: On first glance, Wow, it's impressive because it goes all
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the way to the passengers eye. But it's just it's
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: a fuff around and it's like it's not a somewhat
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: yan day are really good at.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's half the problem, right, And that's actually
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: what's happening now with the Japanese brands. They're realizing that
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the only way they can compete with Chinese car brands
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: is by manufacturing cars in China with JVS and up
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: until Tesla, basically, if you wanted to sell a Western
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: car brand in China, you had to have a joint
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: venture with a Chinese car company. So all of these
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: joint ventures then resulted in the joint venture arm creating
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: their own cars, which are basically just clones of the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Western vehicle. So at the moment, likes of Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of them are teaming up with these Chinese
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: brands to bring cars to Australia. And what they'll do is,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: like the Mazda, they stick a Masda badge on it
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and to probably ninety percent of people, they don't know
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: that it's made and they don't care that it's made
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: by another brand. To them, it's just a master no exactly.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: In same with like Toyota as well, they just go, oh,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Toyota badge, it's got it's got legacy. My dad just
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: brought the new RAB four yep, And I was like,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: why are you buying that?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Anyway?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: So he's got the hybrid, he's driven it from the
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: dealer back home, right, and guess where he drove it next?
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Still fucking there. He doesn't drive it, he's just left
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: it there. I'm like, Dad, why why are you driving
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: his car? It's like yeah, it's just annoying. And I
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: was like, we went right into this. I'm like, Dad,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: why do you want to rab four? They're boring, they're unremarkable,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: they do the job, they go a to b oh
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: because it's a Toyota reliability.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Some people shop like that.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah he did. He buys shit without test driving
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: every single car he's ever had.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Fucking annoying. Anyway, we're fighting at the moment, I was
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: gonna say, yeah, I just get my phone. Now, get
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: him on the phone here. I might just say if
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Delts can maybe organize something.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, were you?
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: She's got a couple of Porsches. Actually she's a Porsche gal.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: She's got one here and she's got one in her
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: l a house.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Can I can I can I show something?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: You know, me and my Cayman journey again. Go fucking
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: look at this, Look at this, Paul Pavel rec let
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: me find it. Oh, hang on, before we do, let's
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: look at Gordon in Europe with his with his what's
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: it called a fat? Where is that? Gordon? Where are you?
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: God? I looked on in that car the weather. Oh
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: that's that. I'm thinking of a word that's in rhymes
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: of hay gay. Oh it is.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: But it's lovely, right, it's a lovely car anyway from
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: interesting anyway, after I had a giant gang bang with
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: five cloaks.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Well it was that in France because it could have
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: actually been a gang gang of gypsies.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Well, not the worst Nigeri meet up I've ever had.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: How fucking nice is that? Yeah?
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: That is nice? That's a nice back? Is that a wrap?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Or yeah?
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Probably hid something.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: It's made me want an old one again, but yeah,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: fuck that's nice. Um, we're going to talk about feet
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: in Persia. Leaving Australia, I saw a lot of them overseas,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: and I think it's kind of like who cares? Because
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think they care about the Australian market much.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: They don't care about it at all. They sold billy
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: anything here. It was more just that they were on
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: sale here for such a long time, but no one
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: was buying them. It is just too expensive to import
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: a car from Europe.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Persia actually make great looking cars, underpowered cars, I reckon.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: And then when I was over there, I could see why.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Europe it's a very different. If you live in Parasol,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Rome or something, it does not make sense to have
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: anything other than a tiny little you know, something like
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a feet five hundred or Reno whatever. That makes perfect sense.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: It is just when you you translate those cars to Australia,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I just they just don't work. And Okay, if you
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: live in the city, you're still having to compete with
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: big trucks and stuff like that. It just doesn't it's
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: not right. Oh it might be right, but it just
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't fit right. But over in Europe, but it
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: just works.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: It works lovely.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I kind of love a wagon as well, don't they? Oh?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: The estate cars. Actually we're talking about the Reno five. God,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I hope Reno doesn't shoot off because that Reno five,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I reckon. It's nice and the racy version that is
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Alpine or.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Alpine Alpine's a sound system in my commodore.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: No, yes, it is Alpine's the flavor. I used to
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: clean the toilet bowl with Alpine breeze. Yeah, but it
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: looks nice, it looks nice. You've helped me with something
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: in a big way, right, kids kids in the front
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: No kids in the front seat. So my missus was like,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: you're not getting a two seat car. You're not getting
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: a two seeded car. I'm like, I can legally put it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: It's so weird when you call up Service New South Wales,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: can I put a baby seat in the front car?
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: And I swear to God to this day I've never
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: got an actual black and white answer. So Service New
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: South Wales will say yes, as long as there's no
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: back seats. I'm like, well yes, but also it's at
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: the discretion of the cop. What I'm like, what does
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: that mean? So I can put it in? But but
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: if some cop doesn't like it, it's out. They go, Yes,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: that can't be a fit. That's that's so really, that's
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: so yeah. I've got an email from them buried away
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: there and.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I was like, that sounds like an ass covering answer.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But also I was like, that's it's it doesn't
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: really work so well they.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Want listening to this that isn't a customer service agent
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: who probably doesn't want to get fired. Can you tell us?
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shed some light on it for me, because it's
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: so dumb the way it works. Because their big concern
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: is they don't like kids in the front seat because
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: of the air bag situation. So Porsche, for instance, because
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I was looking at these, they've got a thing where
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: you can disable the passenger airbag.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Right, that's only for a rear facing seat, I'm pretty sure,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: because if an air bag deploys onto a rear facing
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: seat that becomes a problem. But for a forward facing seat,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know why an airbag would be an issue.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And they literally a lot of cars have that exact
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: feature where you can disable the airbag.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: But that was well, it's illegal to disable the passenger
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: air bag, and yet they hate having the The The
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: big thing is that having the air bag there I
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: not switchable.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: You can switch it off, right, I'm pretty sure because
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I know that there were.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: So depends on like models, like earlier models, So if anything,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: say pre say twenty thirty, we're.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Not helping anyone here something like that. But the other
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: thing as well, is in Europe, a lot of the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: cars have ISO fixed in the front seat because they
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: will have baby seats there. So it is simply an
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Australian concoction. Which is half of this stuff, which is
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: really frustrating. Australia seems to know better than other parts
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: of the world. But yes, some of this stuff is stupid.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: And they're so gray on it too.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what gets me. It's like, while we're bitching here. Yeah,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the first time I've bitched on this podcast.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. We don't sound like too grumpy
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: old meant at all.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Why can we not have everything just common amongst the states?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Like why is it in Victoria I can do a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: U turn wherever I want unless it's signed, whereas in
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: New South Wales it's the exact opposite. And you expect me,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: when driving across Australia to have read every single rule
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: book for every single state I enter and every single
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: territory I enter because there might be some minor discrepancy.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: How is it not just one common set of road
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: rules across Australia?
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And why why do we really fucking need a
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: hook turn?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Correct? Mm hm?
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, we usually like to keep these episodes timeless, but
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: today is a very significant day. Today is a day
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: we say goodbye to friend of the show. Just into Allen.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, I saw it out there, there was a bus
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and then she was under it.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, she's gone. She's gone. And I don't
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: think it's getting I can't imagine it's going to get
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: much better. But cut us to the handsome lady that
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: they've put in in front. I forget his name, but
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: he looks like he drives a beautiful super ru Anyway,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: totally unrelated matter. Here's somem Katie Laye.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: And coming right up, sister.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's play some Missy Higgins.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Oh, I didn't.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Realize you're just wearing your denim overalls today, Pavel, and
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: you're why are you wearing a band head?
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Jess?
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: That's a big cat you've got it looks scared. Is
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: that has that overheard? You say you like to eat pussy?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Just on a slightly different topic, can I say I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: need to give a shout out to two people? Oh? Yeah. Firstly,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the police, The police, especially in Victoria cop a lot
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: of flak by a lot of people because they arrest people.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: And then the courts. Just go, she'll be right, you'll
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: be out. Yes, But we had my brother and I
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: have a storage business and at midnight started getting alarm
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: notifications of someone walking around. Called the police. They arrived
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: in this sort of fairly regional part of where it
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: is within six minutes, wow, and caught the guy. And
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: you know what, that just doesn't normally happen. So I
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: just want to give a big shout out to them.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: And then the second one, so.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: There's a Paul's personal shout out to the cops for
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: looking after his investment property.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: It's other people's belongings, store things.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: So the other one was today, I fucking got to
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Sydney Airport ordered an uber and I did what I
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: think when I hear this happens, I'm like, how can
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: you be so stupid? So I ordered the uber and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Alexus Es was coming. I've only ever been in one
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Lexuses as an uber. I know that others have probably
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: been in many. The es pulls up, I stick my
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: bags in, we start driving off and I get a
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: message on my thing saying I've arrived. I'm like, no shit, show, Like,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I'm in the fucking car with you, and I said
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: to the guy, is your name whatever it was? And
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: he goes no, and I'm like, for fox sake, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: we already had seen a legal driver. No he was.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: He was picking up someone else. So it's not only
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: did I screw this guy because he then had to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: cancel the person that had been standing there waiting. I
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: then screwed my guy because I had to cancel. There
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: was I couldn't turn back. So I'm sorry to the
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: first guy. If you drive a LEXCS as an uber,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I am sorry that I wasted, you know, quite a
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: lot of your time. I did also for this guy
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: because he had to cancel, and I know that they
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: get penalized if they canceled too many times. I ended
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: up giving him one hundred bucks to for the hassle
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and then at least do it, but won't rob him
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: of the of the commission, but anyway that they might two.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you, have you got one.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if we've got any questions, enough of
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: your personal shout outs. Congratulations on the LOGI, by the way,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: because that sounded like a fucking speech logan. Let's have
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: a look here. I don't think I've put my hilarious
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: story up in time. Anyway, People send us stories like
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: we're going to be impressed. What's this guy got as
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: a cone end driver? I'm really looking forward to the
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: next twenty and oh yeah that's on the horizon. I've
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: got that new week. Can you please find out more
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: about hydrogen? Can you please? Basically, this guy this is John,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: and he wants us to find out more about hydrogen.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, it's been around for years, buddy, blah
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah, but what is the cost. In Australia,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: the labor governments are the label governments in both states
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: and FED show they do not care about farmers or
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the environment. Just so you know, not having a crack
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: at you. I am a farmer fighting against a mineral
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: sands mines in my backyard and I don't see EV
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: being that efficient or long term solution for anyone. Let's
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: ditch the questions today, guys. I don't know. I think
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: that's it. Have you got anything?
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's no more big jerky, So there's that.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: No more. We've reached the party mix though. Look at
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: it on us. We went for the healthy option. We
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: haven't even touched the popcorn. Do you want to a
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: snake or a nipple. Yeah, I see if I can
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: get one in your mouth, you're ready. This is not
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: the case. It might just be driving around in my
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: feed five hundred before you know it. Oh geez, I've
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: got terrible aim, useless right.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: In his eye, his teeth.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: It should be good.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Right right there? Alright.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Anything you want to bring to the party before we go, anything,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: anything on the horizon you're excited about. Ford have got
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: something going on?
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah?
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Do you want to use this as a speakerphone for
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: anything else coming on in your Life's doctor saying? What's
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Delta saying she's.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Got a new album coming out? Yeah, she's doing.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: A duet with Donna.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: That's what I'd love to say. Slip slop, slap behind
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: these hazel brown eyes. Anyway. Yeah, Ford's I don't know
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: what they're launching, but basically three new models they're announcing,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: and I suspect one of them is going to be
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the new Energy, which I can't break the news on.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: So I'll be keen to see if that is and
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: if so, how expensive it is. Because Ford's another one
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: that's in deep trouble because range of sales are going well,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: so wherever its sales over there.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: It's pretty competitive price wise, isn't it.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: It is in China? But this is what Ford does.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: They go, Okay, we can bring something in really good,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: but you know what we'll do. We'll just make that
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit too expensive. The issue they're going to
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: have is they can't bring it in at thirty nine
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: nine ninety because you can't have this thing that has
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: an enormous battery and is good, and then you have
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: a range of plug in hybrid that is astronomically more
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: expensive that they are doing sort of deals at the
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: moment on them, but you have to balance the range, right,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: So I suspect what they're going to do is try
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: and fill some gaps and that's where they're going to
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: get a bit greedy. It didn't work for the MACI
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: because they started off too high. They then dropped the price,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: but not enough. So I don't know. I reckon they
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: need to play it very carefully, and if they just
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: do what they always do, I think they're going to
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: set themselves up for failure. So we'll see, We'll see
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: how it goes, but it'll be an interesting time.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Well we know, yeah, we know. One of the models.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they've got going on, but time
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: will tell. What's our website, the drivershow dot com.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Contact at the Drivers Show dot com, dot at you
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and on install.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Would be great to leave us.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: A rating if you haven't. Yes, I actually haven't read
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: our ratings recently.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: We haven't had a rating in a long time. Probably
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: no one listening.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I might actually just do a little catch up. I
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: have a little look some of the old ones. I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: have a favorite in there. Where is it?
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Gordy is a tip rat.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Attack Cars the other podcast? All right, so it's actual?
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Is that what you listen to?
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Do you listen to the Tack of Cars and podcast religiously.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Gordy is a tip right, Yeah, it's still there, and
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: this is the other good wye time to go from.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: But that's that was a b witch with a one.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: That's twelve years old.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Just listen to the latest dip and it was such
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: a struggle.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: To listen to tell you're reading one.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Terrible jokes and even worse takes. I'll be surprised if
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: this show lasts for much longer. That was four years.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Paul can do better, all right? Well, if you want
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: to hear it up maybe maybe there'll be a Paul
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Adam from Redriven podcast.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Pretty So here's here's one from Here's one from Steph.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Clearly keep guests like Trev and give Paul the flick.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I reckon he's too busy taking first class selfies and
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: relaxing in the chairman's lounge like a possa.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Anyway, you do love a first class selfie. I have
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: to say, yeah, do you know what I did? I
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: did think about you a little bit overseas. I thought
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: about how good the I was doing. I did first
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: class from where was I monopoly to Rome? And how
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: how easy and cheaper was Yeah?
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, on the train, on the Tupe.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Yep, I was like, fucking hell, high speed rail. Why
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: don't we have high speed rail in this country? It
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: makes so much more sense here than anywhere else.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Because we have a government that rotates every three or
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: four years and no one can commit to anything, and
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: then when they do commit to something, you get unions
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: come and corrupt the whole thing. But anyway, that's enough
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: about the Westcape.
• 40:22
