SORRY WE'RE LATE...we're being sued* - also EV road trip and the Ford Ranger! · The Driver's Show

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, sorry we're late everyone. We were too busy getting sued.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, you may have noticed. The name of our show
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: is now different.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome to the Driver's Show everyone. I think it
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: sounds better. Yeah, it was benefit of hindsight. I think
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: it is a much better name.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I did pitch it early on, but you.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Just spat on your face and said get out of
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: my office, and then I threw you out.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: The window, and then you realize you don't have an office.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: It was in the cardboard box in the park. So yeah,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it's been a bit of a mad couple of How
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: long has it been. It's it been a couple of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: months now since we've been out of record.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, mainly because we've had just some absolute.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: We have had some issues with the legal system. And
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: as a courtesy, where now the Driver's Show.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which we have enough to be confused with anything else.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Anything else. We have a new logo, We've got new
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: five updated my photos so now you can actually see
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: my extra chin.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, you're I'm looking at your photo now and you
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: look like you you exist in eight pixels.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: For health and safety reasons, ladies, ladies, this.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Is what happens if you keep eating cupcakes.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I look good in that jacket. Seriously, I walk out
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in public in that jacket. It is dinners on ladies.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's like seagulls fighting over a chip. Anyway, So I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: guess we should talk about a little bit of the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: backstory about where we've been. I feel like it's been
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: so bloody long.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: How are you poor? Your rush? Have you been?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: How are you sleeping these days? How's your erection?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I've been busy and everything was going great until
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: we started getting emails from our good friends.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, our good friends and and whatnot.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: So you know it's official when they call you Gordon.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Oh god, well no, according to one of the legal letters,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: mister Gordon, mister what what mister Gordon? I think you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: are an infringement or what. So basically what's happened is.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, guys, let me pause you there. I'm a member
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: of the boys legal team, and I'm here to make
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: sure that they keep their noses clean and not get
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: themselves in trouble. So here's what you need to know.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Here's the facts. In September of twenty twenty two, a
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: particular television network and media company sent the Boys a
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: letter of demand claiming, in their view, the boys podcast
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: The Drive Show was allegedly infringing their media automotive derivative Drive. Essentially,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: they claimed the word Drive in The Drive Show podcast
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: infringed trademark registrations relating to their brand Drive for numerous
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: reasons covered under numerous clauses of the Trademarks Act. We
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: won't bore you with we don't believe it at all. However,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: given we don't have as much time on our hands
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: as the complainant and on an own missions basis, the
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Boys have changed the name of this podcast to The
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Driver's Show. That's Drive with an RS at the end.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: You can still find us on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and iHeartRadio,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: but will be known under the Driver's Show. You can
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: still use the Drive Show dot com dot AU for
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: a while, but we'd prefer the Driver's Show dot com
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: dot A. You Okay, back to you guys, so.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Probably shouldn't have sworn that much, but it is what
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it is. There's no lies there, no.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: To my former colleagues.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Next time you want to us to do something, just
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: pick up the phone and message me because you have
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: my number, and don't go running to your legal department.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Doesn't that say a lot about you? They don't even
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: want to talk to you anyway.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: This is family radio.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: No, it's very much not very much. Listen to this
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: dad's emailers and go. Can you cut the swearing out?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I love to listen to you. Where my kids in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the car? Well, you know what can stop it?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Grow up?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Get some time to yourself those kids anyway. Anyway, so
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: we're back into it now, back into fortnightly.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Episodes of the Driver's Show, The.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Driver Show, Bigger and Massed with anything Else, formerly known
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: as by the way, just on that The Drivers Show
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: dot com dot au.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so if you want to email us, it's the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: same thing but slightly different. So contact at the Drivers
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Show dot com dot au is how you'll be able
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: to get in touch with us for the moment.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You never know, that might change. Yeah, I annoy.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Someone else highly likely forever. Anyway, Hey, you did a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: road trip, which I thought was boring. I love what
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you do for fun. You know what we should do?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: What let's compare an EV to a diesel car. Well,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that sounds like a good idea. What do you want
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to do then, I don't know, Let's wink each other
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: off in the public toilet on the roads. It sounds
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: like a good idea to me. How good's engineering? Oh,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it's brilliant.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that happened.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So you did a road trap with your good made elbows. Yeah,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and it was you're in an EV You're in a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: EV six. Yeah, he was in what was it, an
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Audi q FA Diesel.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Audi Q five thirty five TDI, which is the
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: base model Diesel.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: It still looked good by the way that car, Yeah,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I thought it still looked It doesn't look like a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: bass shitter.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: It sort of looks okay.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: So yeah, we thought, let's test the theory out with EV's.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: You know they're meant to be really cheap and really not.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Well, what I wanted to figure out was can you
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: actually drive an EV regionally in Australia. I know that
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: all the major highways are covered, but what if you
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: don't necessarily want to go on a major highway. The
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: second part to this challenge was Audi claims that the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: base Q five can do fourteen hundred k's on a tank.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: And what I said to Elbows was, I'm going to
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: challenge you to make it to Sydney from Adelaide in
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: that Q five on one tank and he is famously
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: not very good at being efficient, and I basically.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Got him to brim the tank. We brimmed the EV
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to one hundred percent.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And brim the tank mean basically phill it so that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the fuel is like literally at the cap.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: So it's all the way.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: And the reason we do this hashtag engineer is because
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: you then brim it at the.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: End and it sounds like a search thing on born.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Because at the end you can brim it again and
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: use the exact number of liters you've used plus the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: kilometers you've traveled to figure out the fuel economy, which
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: ended up being different to what the computer said, by the.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Way, Wow cool. Yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: So anyway, long story short, we did this road trip.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: It was sorry to recap. It was Melbourne to Adelaide,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Adelaide to Sydney. Oh, Adelaide to Sydney.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah so, and via the regional route, so via the
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: hay planes, so not via the sort of the major highway.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: It takes you closer to Melbourne and then back up
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to Sydney. The reason we did that is I wanted
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to see what the.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Regional stuff was like and for Elbows to actually make it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: He decided to travel a bit slower.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: He was doing ninety k's an hour, and the whole
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: purpose of this was for him to fail, but also
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: for us to see how much time I would spend
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: on the road trip having to charge the car compared
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: to him just being able to drive constantly. And there
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: results ended up being interesting. So I used a site
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: called a Better Route Planner. So it's a free website,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: and what it does for evs is it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I've gone to a site called better Route too. I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: didn't really find you were rejected. I was rejected.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: So Better Route Planner allows you to type in your destination.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: What it does is it takes into account topology, weather,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: and the real range of the EV to tell you
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: when and how often you need to charge. So this
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: was really good and basically you.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Do Tesla have something similar in their software like that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Already they do, but only with Tesla charges.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, so this actually into account any public charging infrastructure.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: So what we found was that I'd have a certain
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: number of places I'd need to stop. We decided that
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: instead of doing it all in one day, we would
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: stop in Hay overnight at a motel.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I'm trying and.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Avoid those wherever possible. But anyway, well, what was that like?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: So FIRS class?
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Great. I was like, oh, hi, do I get
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: an upgrade to a suite or anything? And They're like no, they.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Put you both in the same room.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Then they said here's your key, and I'm like, oh,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: so it's a physical key. Interesting was your bedcoin operated?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: So our own troop was going great. I kept sort
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: of overtaking Elbows after stopping. Once we got away from
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: the main highway where the chargers slowed down a lot,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: he would sort of make up a bit of ground.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: But the biggest issue we had was on our way
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: between Oyan and Hay because just they closed the road
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: across the Murray, so we had a seventy kilometer detour
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: and I would have thrown it all up.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Well, it was an issue for me because I pulled.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Out early in in Oion because Elbows had got ahead
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: a little bit and we had a plan to stop
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: there to eat, but there was nothing open on a
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Monday night, so I sort of stopped charging early. And
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: as a result of that, when it came to the detail,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, well, this is going to be
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: a slight issue because we're adding seventy k's on which
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I hadn't accounted for. And as it started, as the
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: sun started setting, it started getting very cold, and an
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: EV driven cold at highway speeds uses much higher amounts
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: of battery charge because it has to use the battery
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: to keep itself warm to run a heater. So I
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: ended up arriving in Hay with one percent battery left.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: It was literally sweating bullet stuff because if I had
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: have run out, we would have been screwed. And there
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: was only one charger in Hay as well. So again,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: had it have been a long weekend or something and
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: not a Monday night, I could have been in.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: A queue of seven other cars.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I feel like your charger in Hay would have just
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: been some woman that lives in a carr just like
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: with a dart in the mouth. You did give a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: fucking car. Hey on, man, watch your name paula on, Paul,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: let me just plug your bloody car and anyway after Paul, anyway,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: So we plugged up. Now, this is a slow charger,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: so we had to basically leave the car there for
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: an hour and a half while we went to the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: truck stop to have a dirty, dirty meal. Oh God,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure where you.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Were going without one to take it a dinner somewhere.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: So anyway, the rest of the trip with two blokes
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: at a track stop, nothing sus in Regionals, Australia.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: We ended up in Sydney the following day and we
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: filled both cars back up to one hundred percent.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: We sat down and.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Did the costs and the EV ended up being five
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: dollars cheaper than the diesel, which surprised me because I
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: thought EV's were going to be significantly cheaper. And keep
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: in mind the charge in Hay was free. It was
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: the only charger along the way that was actually free,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: so basically meant that had I have paid in Hay,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the EV would have been more expensive than the diesel
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: to run over that trip. Granted, this is a very
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: efficient deedl It ended up consuming four point three let
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: us per one hundred k and he's doing ninety, but
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: in reality he could have done the speed limit and
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: filled up in four minutes and potentially done the trip
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: in one day if he shared driving with someone else.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: So yeah, look, EV's a getting there, and once we
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: do get faster charging rolled out everywhere, it'll be much better.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: But ultimately, with him doing ninety, we ended up arriving
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: in Sydney within fifteen minutes of each other, so it
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: wasn't actually that big of a deal having to stop,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: which I thought was pretty good.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: We really do have to up our game. I reckon
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: on that sort of stuff. It's just my view on
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: this whole thing hasn't really changed too much in the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. I've been driving a bad Well.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: You were saying that the bid could probably do Adelaide
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: to Sydney without charging.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Sure, Sure, on a tow truck, I was saying it
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: could probably do Sydney to Port More Quarry in one go.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I reckon it probably could, but in eco mode driving slow,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: air conditioner off, probably throw the luggage away. Maybe if
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: they just had a lighter driver instead of me. Yeah,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: but yeah. So my point is, I think at the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: moment there's still a brilliant commuting car like that's that's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: where we're at. Unfortunately, city driving charging overnight, it's a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: habitual thing. I just they're not really doing anything. For
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: those haters that are claiming, what about the regional bloody
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: road trips made in theory, You've kind of proved that wrong.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: It's the same sort of cost, you arrived at the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: same sort of time, all that kind of stuff. But
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, the reliability of charges in the infrastructure we've
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: got here at the moment regionally is just not where
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: it needs to be.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Is always more expensive than an equivalent internal combustion car
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: as well, so you're paying more upfront. So charging at
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: home it's fine because you can you can obviously use
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: solar lower rates, blah blah blah. But on a road
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: trip they just don't. They make sense. But there's just
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of planning involved. How do I have been
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: with the family in that car and it weighed more
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff. I would have had
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to probably slow down to sixty k's an hour on
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: a one hundred hundred and ten kN hour road to
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: actually make it, Yeah.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Because I can't just stop anywhere.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And when you go like a screaming kid in the car, yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: everyone knows. Like now, when you want to do a
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: road trip with a kid, you kind of have a plan,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: but all those sort of plans go out the window.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: So I imagine that on top of doing something like this,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I reckon it would be a friggin nightmare. But if
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you've done it yourself, let us know how you went.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm key to hear from people. I mean, do
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: you drive an EV? Do you do long distance drives?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I was looking at the comments on our article at
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: car expert dot com that a you, and I noticed
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: some people, like one guy said he's driven his Model
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: by three thousand k's across the middle of Australia had
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: no issues with charging.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, but that's if you're happy to.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Charge for twenty four hours on a ten amps soccer
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: at a caravan park. Yeah, which you were, well, but
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: I mean it's just that kind of argument is just stupid.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: You can charge an EV anywhere, that's right, But I
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: don't have twenty four hours to spare in between my trips,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: especially if you have a family.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, anyway, what was.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The lady's name here charged up your car?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Was it Doris? Donna? Donna?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, because it was Donna. You want a chicken schnitzel
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: while your late you go, Donna?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Hey, Gordy, do you drive a Hyundai IX thirty five
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: manufactured between twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen. No, Paul, I
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: actually don't okay if you do, don't park it in
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: a garage, okay, because it might catch on fire.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a little extra. They call those little extras
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: easter eggs. When you don't know a fee, when you
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: just find out a feature about your car. Yeah, oh,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: this one just like explodes.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: In the middle of the night campfire. Yeah. I mean
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: yan Day and I think Kira.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: As well doing quite me on that are having issues
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: with the ABS modules in number of their cars. And
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the latest here is the IX thirty five, which was
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: the predecessor to the Tucson, where it may short circuit
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: when components are exposed to moisture, and it can result
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: in a vehicle fire even when the vehicle is switched off,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: so it doesn't affect the breaking system, but a vehicle
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: fire may increase the risk of serious injury or death
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: to vehicle occupants, other road uses and bystanders.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: You came up with that report, and Yanda is advising.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Owners to park in an open space and away from
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: flammable materials and structures. Therefore, don't park your ixit vibe
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: in a garage, but on the street.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe you don't leave your Samsung Galaxy phone in there too.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: From that era, because that'll probably explode as well.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, how does this happen?
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't understand how a car can
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: explode when it's got zero electricity going through it or anything.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I think this is the worst case.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: So the saying they sold nineteen five hundred of these
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: in between that period, I highly doubt all of them
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: are going to do this. But you might have a
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: cup all that have that might be that might reside
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: by the ocean or some other area, or I might
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: have moisture content that really sort of helps this short circuit.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: And the second you get that short circuit, there's enough
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: sort of energy built up in there to start a
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: small fire which then becomes a big fire.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: That's just not great.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: That is they were They weren't a bad car. They yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: they did start to this issue. Yes, aside from this
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: little hoo ha. Imagine if you're the proud owner of
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I X thirty five and then you just sort of
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: wake up in the middle of the night and you're like,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: what the hell is that said?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Did you leave the toasta on Donald?
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: A barbecue?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I can smell that the house burned down Now that's
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the sound of us losing our memories.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Gordy.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Did you know that as they sell more EV's, the
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: economies of scale will make batteries become cheaper, and then
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: EV's become cheaper.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, Paul, I had a rough idea.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: No, that's not true. Okay, that's that's not true.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: EV battery prices have increased this year for the first time.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Oh so what they're doing is the exact.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Opposite of what everyone expected them to do, which is
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: go down in price. That's on the back of rising
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: material costs and inflation.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: And parts and bloody chips and all this kind of crab,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: this weird story that is getting peddled out.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Yea. So that is why at the moment we're seeing
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: the cost of EV's go up across the board.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: And it's interesting.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I was having a look at a graph that Bloomberg
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: published and it showed that in twenty thirteen, the sort
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: of cost per killer what hour of battery was something
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: like seven hundred dollars, So it was quite expensive to
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: buy an EV in twenty thirteen. In twenty twenty one,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: it was its lowest price at one hundred and forty
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: dollars per kilo what hour Now it's gone up to
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty one, and it looks like that
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: trend is set to increase as.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: We move on.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: So evs are going to become more expensive before they
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: become cheaper, and some of the European nations and now
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: mandating evs to just.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Be standard stuff, and it's like, well, who's going to
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: be able to afford these?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: It's frustrating. It's a frust it's a frustrating piece of
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: news because I feel like we're in a good place
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: with EV's. They're starting to kind of leak into the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: mainstream a lot, and then you get stuff like this
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that kind of sets it back. Is this time to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: commercialize hydrogen a bit more?
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Maybe potentially, I mean people complain about the efficiency of hydrogen,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: but ultimately you need less battery pack, which is getting expensive.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hydrogen isn't as efficient, but if you're using green
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: energy to create it then and it's.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Less waiting time at the pump, so to speak.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Yep, you don't have to meet Donna on your road trips.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Well, that's actually that's a negative. I just want to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: meet She's a tourist attraction.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: You want to throw a leg over.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, you've got the famous buck and caves
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and then you've got the famous Buck and Donna. Silly,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: what is that? You know when you drive through Regional
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Australia and you get like the giant Prawn and you
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: get the giant Kuala and the big jam or something,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: then you just get Donna and she's just sitting on
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a toilet on the road side and just you can
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: go in there. It was what you just like your
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: kids like, Mom, is that the dog in the tucker Box?
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: And Dad's like, I don't know, but to be safe
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: if I'm going to enter through the gift shop.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is the worst episode. This is
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the best episode ever.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: By the way, we accept fan art, So if anyone
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: likes to draw a picture of Donna on the Tucker Box,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: send it to us. We'll check it up on that Instagram.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Donna in the Tacker Box. Sam Hey for GT Mark four,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Holy shit balls?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: How good is that? So good?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: For G four looks like a almost looks like a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: futuristic McLaren.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Well it's it sort of pays homage to the Lamon
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: winning GT. So this is sort of where they where
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: they've pulled it from. I just think that this is Yeah,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: it is. It is such a cool looking thing. How
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: good is that spoiler?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: It's so next level? Yeah, like everything from the lights
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to the body kit on the look at that dining
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: board sitting up at the back of it. Jesus.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: So they're talking price one point seven million US dollars.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: You have to apply for it, sixty seven of them.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: But the cool thing is they're basically modifying the three
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: point five liter twin turbo Eco boost engine that it
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: comes with, which is a similar version to the engine
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: that's fitted to the F one fifty Raptor. They're saying
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: it should produce almost six hundred kilowatts of power, which
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: is insane. The regular road going version is just under
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: five hundred. What's a power still, Yeah, I kind of.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I mean they're good, they're great, but they're not. They're
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: pretty good.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: No, But the thing is that weighs barely anything.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: So it's got a full carbon body and it's a
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: lot of downforce, so it is.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: So we've got a friend of ours and the States
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: has the road going version of this, and it is
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: an unreal car. It sounds so good. It looks incredible.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: It is, Yeah, it is just something else.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: The other thing about Americans too, if they do a supercar,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: it's always very bold and brash. Yeah, there's something almost
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit European about this.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I just love the fact that they're doing it because
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: at the moment everyone's sort of giving up on this
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: type of thing, and I love the fact that they're going, no, no,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: we're still going to do this and just really really
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: get stuck into it. So I think it is a
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: sensational looking thing. What's this limited to sixty seven? Sixty
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: seven and it's track only so you can't drive it
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: on the road.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you make of you know, like high
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: end companies like Porsche and Ferrari, where they always have
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: when they're releasing a car, for instance, it could be
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a special edition whatever, but they pretty much know the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: clients they're going to give it to, Yeah, before it
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: even goes up for order.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: This is the same thing, and actually quite funny. I
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: don't know if anyone is aware of this, but when
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: the AMGGT Black Series was being launched, if you wanted
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: to buy one, they had an application form, and on
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: that form they wanted your social media details, so they
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: only really gave people allocations if they were like big
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: on social media, which.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: That blows when you think about it. They're the people
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: who are most likely to go bust at some point. Yeah,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, They're and more likely to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: disgrace themselves.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this will be the same thing. And
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I'm just looking at the expression of interest. So they're
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: asking for name, surname, email, phone number, location, and then
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: they want to know about other Ford or multimatic road
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: or race vehicles in your collection. So I think they'll
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: probably just stick with people who have amazing car collections here.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you're out. I guess I'm out.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I would definitely make mention of my V eight
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Commodore's sure.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Sure, how's that going? Is that still collecting dust in
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the corner?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Correct?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, maybe you could just show off your portfolio
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: of NFTs and bitcoin. That was a great idea.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: That'd be a shoe in.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, I know guys who have that
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: sort of deal with Porsche, for instance, I really do. No,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I've witnessed it firsthand, and what they do is I've
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: seen warehouses, walked in them, sat in these cars that
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: are so rare. Basically, what it is is these high
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: end execs they're given access to buy could be special
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: edition nine to eleven of some sorts. Right, they'll take
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: it to this warehouse and they'll stack it with ten,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: twelve of their other cars that is not part of
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: their main collection. Right, So these are the rarest of
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: rare under super kind of security purposes. And god, I
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: know we've just come out of legal troubles and I
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to get into it again. But arguably what
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that is is there. They call that their divorce account,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: So it's stuff that when they go through a divorce.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: It's somehow I don't know how, but it's somehow untrackable
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: assets that was that is worth a lot of money.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: So it's arguably fifteen to twenty million dollars worth of
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: cars easily sitting right there that can't be traced. Amazing, right,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I'm doing choir, Yeah, babe, it should be divorcing you.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: It won't be the other way around.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: In one of those yeah how's your young day NFT going?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're empt.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: It's on fire at the moment.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, Gage, it's in Donna's garage.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: God a lot of things are in Donna's garage. Yeah,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: a lot, a lot.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Are we ready? Are we ready for the review?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's do it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Oh is that where we're going now? Now that we're
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a new kind of we've got a new name, We're
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: a different sort of a podcast. Now we're all grown
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: up and professional and looking sweet. You've dropped your what
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: is iconic?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, there you are.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: The twenty twenty two Forward Ranger. Prices start from fifty
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: three thousand, six hundred eighty dollars for the double camp
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: pick up four by four to the range topping Raptor
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: at eighty six thousand, seven hundred ninety dollars plus on
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: road costs.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I am so impressed with these cars, so impressed. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I guess this is kind of a double of Forward Ranger,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: WildTrack and Raptor. You know. One thing I will say
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: is one of the reasons why we actually started this
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: podcast was like car journalists would piss me off. Everyone
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: was lying to here, all the cars of the year
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and best affordable. It's all bullshit, it's all crap. But
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: News Corp threw down one of the more accurate ones
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I've seen it in quite a long time where their
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: top three was Model hy Ford Ranger and bydo three.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Oh there you go. There you going to make sure
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: we cover all bases.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was interesting one two out of those
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: three are electric cars. I've said to you many times
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: how impressed I am with the with the Ranger. It
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: is so well engineered. It's such a great car. I
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: hate to suck up to Paul so who will engineered,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: but it's just put together so well.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: And that's got to the point where you bought one, yes, yeah.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: And the thing is as well that this car is
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: a vehicle that was designed and engineered here in Australia.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: So Forward by yourself, did you have something to do
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: with just by the way.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: So you know, Forward has enough.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: You know, faith in Ford Australia to manage that program
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: and including Everest, and these vehicles are sold in hundreds
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: of markets globally. It spawned the Amorock, which I'll be
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: driving soon, that shares a platform with it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: So yeah, they really have gone to town on.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I'm just putting as much effort into this as they
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: can and for me, the Raptor takes it to the
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: next level. They kind of went from the previous gym,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: which is a two leter sort of very slow but
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: sort of fun over jumps and stuff into into this
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: new one, which is a twin turbo V six petrol.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: It absolutely hammers uses a lot of fuel, but that's okay. Yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I bought one, so I actually collected it recently from
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Medeki Ford in Port mcquarie.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: What happened was, after.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: We did the initial sort of predevelopment drive, I put
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: out on social that I wanted to buy one, and
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: when the pricing came out, I was like, yeah, I'm
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: fine with that.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I want to buy one, of.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Course, ent that oh what's that? Any hundred thousand.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Fun dealers can give me a car on the first allocation,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: I'll order it through you. And my preference was a
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: regional dealer. So when George Medek reached out to me,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: here we go.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I hope you're listening to George. Jesus paid off dividends.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Where's my raptor, George? Well, no, here's my raptor well mcquarie.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: For George, it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Was only interested in people that are known. So yeah, I.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Have got I've got a photos now mate. Yeah, but
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: your still you're using yours? Yeah, back in the day
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: when you were tanning yourself with a bottle of soy sauce.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: It's my European olive skills.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: That is really not what it is. That's long gone.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: So he reached out and said, I'll give you my
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: personal allocation, which he'd ordered like a year prior, and
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I said thank you, and I did a road trip
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: to Port mccraye to pick it up. They were great
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: to deal with, and what we did was we shot
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: a video explaining what pre delivery is because when you
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: get charge a dealer delivery fair.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Look at it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, what are you charging me two grand for?
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: And two grand is is what you should be paying.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Any more than that, you're getting ripped off. But basically,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: the dealer delivery fee covers transport from the boat to
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: the dealer, depending on the car brands Summer obviously more
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: expensive than others, depending on where the dealer is.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: What's interesting too, is like, yeah, I was going to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: say that because it's too great, and that's going from
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: what arguably Sydney.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Depends, which.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: So it covers that cost. Then what Medeki Ford does.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if this is the same for
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: all dealers. I just looked at their process. They basically
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: do a sort of all points inspection under the car.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: It goes up on a hoist, they check all the switches,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: the USB ports, all that sort of stuff.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: They do a wheel alignment as well.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: My car was slightly out on the front right wheel,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: so they fix that up. It then goes out on
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: a test drive and then it gets a wash and
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: a detail. So for each car, it's basically a four
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: or five hour process to get it all done sort
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: of properly. And that is what you're paying for now.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: That is the part that dealers have discretion over. So
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: when you basically go in there, they won't charge you
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: more than the recommended retail price and a new car,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: but they can charge you more on dealer delivery. So
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: if you are seeing exorbitant fees on dealer delivery, that's
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: where they're making their margin off you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: F Yi, f yi, how's it going? How's it going
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: in the k Enjoy it great?
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I love it? Yeah, it is really fun.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I love the sound, I love just everything I love
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: on the steering wheel, he can set the steering feel,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: the exhaust with dampers like you can really just customize everything,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: muck around with it.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's really cool. I love it.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I genuinely enjoyed it. To me, the sweet spot though
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: in the range was the Wild Track to the point
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: where I put down in order myself, not a Mediki Ford, George,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: if you want to help a bro out, we've mentioned
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: your name quite a few times, Badeki Ford, Paul cry George,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Wild Track good, thank you anyway. But for me, Yeah,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: getting back to the Raptor though it is you've got
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: this ceramic gray one yepen pinted. I had the I
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: don't know what color, fire engine red. I like to
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: call it code.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I loved it, loved it a little bit. It stands
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: out and it's got like that real American sort of red,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: like that kind of it's just a bloody red truck
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: vibe about it, and it really is. It's a chunky car.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: It's really set up really well. It's just a brilliant
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: car from start to finish. It's a car you can
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: obviously daily the thing that got me into this, and
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the same with the WildTrack. I've got this feeling as well.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: But it is the sort of car where you can
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: switch it on and you can go from one end
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of Australia to the other quite comfortably. You feel like
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: this car is capable as anything. It's really well put together.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: There's nothing cheap about it. It's everything just works in cohesion.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: And they've put a lot of thought into everything about this,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: like the interior, just little things like you could rest
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: your arm on the side of the door and it
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: kind of looks like from a distance, I guess it
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: looks like a leatherish kind of material, but if you
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: get up close, it's like a squidgy kind of wet
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: suit that everything can be wiped down, you know what
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I mean. Like, it's just kind of everything feels quality. Stitching, steering,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: driver position. It doesn't feel I mean, for me, I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: thought I was going to be driving an absolute monster
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: of a car. Sorry, but it doesn't feel like a
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: monster car. It just it feels like you're easy card
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: to drive around.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: I like the safety teke as well. They've got a
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: feature with the blind spot monitor. You get into the
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: length of the trailer and then the blind spot monitor
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: will take into account the length of the trailer, so
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: when someone comes into the blind spot of the trailer,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: you're not accidentally going to merge into them. And yeah,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: they all of the cars as well can be optioned
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: or come standard with an integrated brake controller as well,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: so you don't need to get that fitted on your own,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: which costs money.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: How do you go driving into a shopping center? Do
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you have to squaw? I had to screw the unscrew
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the aerial, But I mean, I think, what's the deal
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: because the sharkfin aerial will be fine. But that Yeah,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: but well then you've got that big thing that sticks.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Out, that that thing bends. That's not an issue. So
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: you'll find with that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's more just if you're reversing into a hard object.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: They're a bit stupid, mind you. A wraptor caught on
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: fire the other day. I saw a video of a
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: white one burning to the ground. And then yeah, there's
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: been a lot of issues with drive shaft vibrations and
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, so in the V sixers, So I'll
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: be keeping an eye on it just to see how
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: they go with reliability.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they're not shit.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: See how you go with that. The wild track was
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: was the same. I think everything's well put together. The
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: interior is great on it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: The V six diesel is good.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I loved it. It doesn't feel like too
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: noisy and like Radley kind of thing. It just feels
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: like what they've put up the front is something very capable.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I put an order into and I got quoted October
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: next year, so I'm not liking that about it.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: It's only a year away.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think those times will come down, and I
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: suggest you try a regional dealer as well.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: What's his name from Medickie for George, Hey bro, I'm
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: in Sydney. I mean he's even quicker, bloody trip.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Well, when you're driving there in your BYD, I'll drive there.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: In the BYD and pick it up.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I'll pick up the fuck.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Don't you dare say that about the by D. That's
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest electric cars of the year. It is.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: It's a good car, according to News Corp, which I
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: think they I think they did it. I think they
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: did okay this year.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: But look they gave the win to the Model. Y Yeah,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: they did the.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Model Why god God, that's an ugly looking Although my
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: brother in law shout out to him. He bought a
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: brand Newie and he wrapped it in Matt black, which
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I thought was. I was like, oh okay, and then
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I saw it and it's not half shit. It's pretty good.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: It's actually, to be honest, it's probably the best thing
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: you can do to that car.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, aside from not buy it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it looks it looked way better with that
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. And they'd gone to the effort of
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I think they that the t logo was in glass.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Glass black, just to make it stand out.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kid kill all touches actually, just very quickly
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: on elbows. He bought one and sold it after five days.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: He hated the ride.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: It was terrible, so I told him not to get
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: it with the twenties. Even the nineteens of the ride
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: is terrible. The twenties it is unbearably bad.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: So look, it's it can be arguably it is a
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: little bit stiff, but then you have a terrible case
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: of hemorrhoids.
• 35:13
