Hey, what's going on? You're not even for a good driver? Mate, if I leave while I just ask you. Yeah, man, I'm like now, like, I'm just an expert.
You smashed it up? I didn't break anything. But the place is empty, actually breaking. I didn't break anything much.
I had a mind of copper in that area. You said you went around and you told them that you were Robert the joint. What the fuck's wrong with you? Good morning, good evening.
Listen to the old talk podcast. I said my peter anos joining me tonight is a little more stuffer. Great things. Okay, yeah, we're asking for let us.
I feel like a guest. Haven't been here for a while. You're right, you're right. Happy New Year, 2022.
Happy 2022. Well, before we get to the topic, we're starting out recording pretty late tonight because our house has had a third job, half Australian can't work. No, even a one-job? I have a third job.
I have a third job. I don't know what to say. No words. Half Australian can't work, but how's the work that the rest of Australia can't do?
It's the most kind of safe job. No one else was there. No one else was there. What were you doing, mate?
Demolition work. Demolition, meantime, you don't have an off-reach. You have to do it all. She needs to have an off-reach.
What are you using? What model? Is that a Toyota? Sorry, sorry, sorry.
To do the demolition. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not using videos to anyone. I would not be saying it either.
So how do you drive a forklift? It's real Steve, isn't it? It's a bit. How do they work?
Basically, these are pretty good forklifts. I put a duct tape, some rubber to the back of it because they're real heavy in the back with all the stiles. I use that as a bulldozer to not copyright all some stuff. Seid reverse without the fork, seid reverse using the middle at the back.
Yeah, and then what I would do is I put a pallet next to it, put all the rubble onto it, and then take it out with forklift. It's fucking ingenious. And you'll earth this at forklift school. This country was built on shit like that.
So where does electric power? No gas. No gas. The cylinder at the back.
Yeah. So is it like an automatic? How do you drive forklift? Two, two, two, two.
What's it called? You've got a brake pedal on the middle and you've got two brake pedals on a gas pedal. Yeah. So the brake pedals in the middle?
Yeah. You know what? We're going to do it next week. What's that in my factory?
We'll do some other three forklifts. Then we'll do some forklift racers. Then we'll drive forklifts around and move power level to race. Are they vacant at the moment?
Which one? The forklifts. Or you could bring the forklifts to the off-rude lovers market. That's empty.
We'll put some cones in there. Oh, that is a freaking brilliant idea. We could do forklift racing. And the ground is greasy still.
So you had to clear it. No, we're better already having the thing. How big is it? How big is it?
The thousands of square meters. We can do a track. Let's get some go-karts. And the best thing is it's got the entry and exit door still and the big car pack.
So it could be like on Mario Kart where you go into the building then out of the building. And they've got some bananas left over. That's next week's episode. I don't worry.
Not even bananas. When I moved to factories to the new factory, it had like a two-story... Before I built the factory, before I got the gourham, there was like this two-story sort of mezzanine-style office was made out of timber. Anyway, I sent all of them.
And I ordered a excavator to do the work. And the excavator was there literally just to pick up the stuff that the team was and whatever. The guys had carefully brought down because everyone said, well, that's about an hour of like 10 people unscrewing things in walls whenever I went. I got the excavator and I literally spun around.
I've got the videos. I spun around. And we pulled this whole structure down in about 15 minutes. And then we spent three days trying to get it all into a skipping.
But it is... I really like imagine what it's like. It's so much fun. Pretty good.
I'm wondering what it's like to be a man in a way though. Is that after you? Is that after your third job? Did it all go smoothly?
Like there was no interruptions and everything go okay? Yeah, neighbors weren't happy. What happened? What happened?
Neighbors weren't happy. Well, because you're sliding out. No, no. They called the cops.
No way. Yeah. The cops stayed down. The cops stayed up.
What do you tell them? What do you tell them? What do you tell them? The customer was doing what I was doing.
And I had complaints that someone had pranked him into the shop and I go, yeah, they're gutting it. That's gone. Did you tell me pranked it? I just looked at it and said, yeah mate, I'm stealing the store and phone boxes.
That's so good. Anyway, car, car, car, car, car. What are we talking about? Yeah.
Well tonight I thought, because we're saying goodbye to a shit year, 2021. I've got a list of cars. Shit year. That's not very good.
It's 20, you know, when you say 2022, right? If you say 2020, it's also, it's 2020 as well. Yeah, it's 2022. It's 2022.
It's 2022. I've made a list of cars that the Australian markets said goodbye to. And it's because it's two reasons. Yes.
Well, I've got a version of it. You've got to tell me either they're shit or because of Australian design rules. Alpean A110. What's an Alpean A110?
They sold only 83 of them. Was it shit? It was an ADR. ADR.
It was a bit of a pipe. It was a shit, Cayman, but yeah, ADR. The next one is a gun car. Audi R8.
No. ADR. They sold 686 of them. We're lucky enough to drive on it.
How's it going? I would have been married. I can tell you. I can tell you.
That car was shit. It was a fucking car. Because we drove it like it was stolen. I've been W's no longer being sold next year.
The i3. Yeah, I know that. Now, there's only 633 of them since 2014. And don't forget, it was wheels car of the year in 2014.
Shit or ADR? Shit. Shit. Next one.
Crys left 300. Shit, shit, shit, an ADR. No. It's fine on the top of the monitor.
No. It's shit. It's old. But I interviewed a couple of years ago.
We get the ones from Canada. The Canadian factory builds the cries of 300 we get. The ratio, I think I've said this on an earlier podcast. The ratio of right hand drive to left hand drive.
0.8% of the production. That's why I'm here. We're right hand drive, so I think they said Australia. Fuck off.
That's stopped it. Yeah, shit, c3, aircross. Now, before you say. It's really changing this for the name.
I don't know. I've got the one that's got the bumper things on the doors. Yeah. I imagine walking in and the dealer says this is the shit, c3, aircross.
I don't want to fucking knife, but you don't want to car. This one gets to the shit category. Let's just say that Ferrari's on more Ferraris than Citro did c3s last year. So that tells you something.
Ili is two from Fiat. Ross, did you go and look for any Fiat, Dobblo vans? Oh, I love the Dobblo. Have you heard my story about Dobblo?
That in Greece. Yeah, that is the story. Yeah, that is the story. You don't hear it?
Years ago, before I was married. No, I was married. I think I was married. I was, because I was my wife.
And another mate of mine will travel to go in Santorini. Anyway, long story short, I'm really particular. If anyone knows me, I'm really particular when it comes to rental cars. My rental car, everyone out there knows.
If I go, my rental car is a piece of shit. I'm not getting it. It's a piece of shit. I'm a problem.
I've got to have less than 500 cars on it and it's got to be even new and it can't be a piece of shit. So I go to this guy's website. I'm in Greece. I'm in Santorini.
My mate says to me, we were doing Crete for two weeks. He goes, have you organized a car? I said, now I've found his website. It's got a Land Cruiser on it.
We're getting a Land Cruiser. Right? It is brand spanking new. It's the new model.
It's on there on the website. I've booked it. He's confirmed it. The website's micstours.gr.
I'll never forget it. I'll go, this guy, all right. I've emailed him. He's emailed me back.
He said, yeah, there's no problems. I've called him with, anyway. So we get off the boat. It's like, Damien, my mate.
He goes, where's the car anyway? So we get off the boat. He's going, I've got you the car. It's like he's my long lost relative.
And we're walking to the car park. And he says, can you hold these for me? Your hands me a set of, now this was 15 years ago, when the Range Rover Vogue was out. And it was like, you know, the BMW one?
Like this was, that's bullshit, right? Yeah. Your hands me a set of keys. You've got all these paperwork with me.
Your hands me a set of keys to this Range Rover. And I'm like, Damien, we've freaking hit the jackpot mate. He goes, I couldn't get you the car that was there, but I got you a different car. I figured this is a Vogue.
I'm going to be driving a Vogue. I'm going to be driving a Vogue, a brand spanking new dark blue Vogue with tan interior, all through Creeped it two weeks. This is gone. I'll be a rock star.
Anyway, it was in the car park. There's only two cars in the car park. That and a delivery van. Well, it's the door.
The other way. Anyway, we're at the back of the Range Rover thing down. I signed all the paperwork, all excited, Catherine and the other wife. They're my mates wife, all over the bags.
And he goes, what are you doing? I'm putting it back in the car. This is my car. This is my car.
Where's our car? He just signed for it. It's the Fiat, doorblock. He says, that's delivery van.
He's like, he's a bolt. He's a bolt and a bench seat. A bench seat with half of back on it. You know, like a church pew?
You don't want to catch the tang dara? And if you have the fingers back and forward, you can go one way, you can go the other way. Anyway, can we end up getting the poor girls were upright, sitting upright like they were doing daddy work into the school for finishing? Up right.
Well, fortunately, did you have to deliver our goats that were in the back of it? No, it gets better. On the side of it, it had mics tours. Stop us and ask for a tour.
I think it was not this far. You've got to be there. You've got to be there every five minutes. Did you take a tour?
You know, I said, I know I was just starting to do it. I was like, the money. The best people was. The best people was, is the man who ever returned to car.
He said, it's okay. He got back to the airport and he leave the keys in the glove box. But how do you know whether, of returns or not, he goes, hey, I trust you. Anyway, I ended up dropping off in the airport.
He was my favorite double. I had a favorite double for two weeks. A couple weeks ago. When Ross took it back and stayed at the guy, he said, what are you looking at?
What are you looking at? What are you looking at? That's the moon going out. All right, now we're going to China.
Do you believe China's already dropped the car? The Haval H9 don't know what the fuck that is. I think it's an odd. The Haval H9, it's a little SUV.
That's not a little H9, it's one of the big ones, but they're getting all fancy with their names. Lexus have dropped three cars. The CT. Sorry, can we just go back?
Sorry, can we just go back? The Haval wasn't Haval a different brand, wasn't that cheery? No, they were all part of the Great Wall factory, I think. Oh, Great Wall, Molly.
Yeah, okay. Lexus got CT 200. So some of them are, okay, guess which one's a shit which one's ADR? CT.
That was like that little hybrid price, that's shit. That was a bad CT 200 hybrid price. That was a girl, that was a matter. No, this is the IS and the RC.
So the IS is like the... Go on, Molly. And the RC is the... Come on, IS was a great car.
No, no, no. The IS was a Fanteth note. Come on. ADR and the RC is the Coupe.
I think it's the Siding Truth. I think it's the Siding Truth. I was listening to this in Mexico, Italy, Spain and Portugal. ADR is a strain as long as we just have to get out of it.
If it's good enough to be sold in Japan, Europe and America, I don't know why we'd buy that with ADR. Anyway, it's another argument. Try it. Please don't even try it.
No. The Mirage is gone. Lady, it's got go. I don't know.
I think it's shit. Anyway. I think they said that they might be still some stock of ADR. But it's from 1995.
It's the next to the Mitsubishi arrange. Nissen, GTR. No. Yeah.
Why? I think it's Siding Trusia. Yeah, because they don't have Siding Trusia un side impact protection and... Can't they put a role page in there?
Nissen wasn't able to re-engineer a car just for the dumbfucking Australia. Australia. Yeah, so Renault, your favourite brand Ross. Where's he gone?
You're going to check the neighbours are £35, can't you? It's got to tell his wife, cancel the order. It's just to supply. I just think about it.
I'm saying, I'm going to cancel the order for the GDR. Sorry. I'm back. I'm back.
That's something to get left for a job. It's new, you know? Biscream. It's the ice cream.
It's the ice cream. It's the only ice cream I should be for ice cream. Hey, it's an anti-sigeria. We go to Renault.
I love this, guys. It came on the market for a year and disappeared. It's the Renault Cajah. It's some walk dish, I don't fucking know, I think it's because of shit.
Why is that shit done? I don't know, mate. They've got the Renault Collios, which is a Korean-made Renault SUV. I don't know.
Toyota? The Prius V. They can't be dropped. You said Skoda.
No, I said Toyota. The Prius V. You know, that Prius looks like a big station wagon. The cabbies used?
The shicko. That's gone. Volvo have dropped the V90 cross-country wagon. Is that because they sold money?
They sold 97 of them compared to over 900 XC90s. So the wagons dead and generally both BMW and the C's have dropped wagons as well. So no more wagons. How's been looking for them?
So, violator those cars. Lush for his third gen. Never forgotten. Always remembered those cars.
That's crazy. So how are you looking for a car? I think they need to flush out some of these. There's too many cars on the market.
You know, I don't mean you go on on Mercedes? It's too much. We're a Patricia, mate. Like I said, I've always been staying with the us into the world and we're slowly getting forgotten.
America ain't going to build any right-hand drive cars except for the three core vets that are coming. Does anyone know why we are right-hand driving everyone else with not? UK. Commonwealth.
We're lucky, Japan is bloody right-hand drive. But all those cars come from Thailand anyway. So, we managed the cost of transferring to becoming a left-hand drive. Sweden did it in the late 60s.
And I think recently a couple years ago a Pacific island did it. And the problem was their buses had to, like they didn't have buses that could stop. Yeah, they run around on the wrong side of the road to get on the bus because the doors were still on the wrong side of the side of the bus to get on. If you're fucking right, imagine the freeway, you're going to change it.
The signs, traffic lights, you couldn't do it. So we're here, us? I've managed to escape for a few days. Well, do you have a choice?
Not really having a work. No, man. No, man. I'm 61 people.
What are they doing up? He's serious. We're lucky with a lot of stuff. Yeah, it's just, we're mate.
Someone said to me today, oh, but you know, if they've got COVID, they've got COVID. I said, hey, they call me and go, hi. I think I've got a message about the bus stop and the person who's sitting next to me knows someone that was a close contact with has COVID. I think I'm going to get this.
I guess it's just becoming a ticket. Everyone's just pumping their sick days. That's all we do. We are in the middle of holidays.
Yeah, everyone's just watching your heart. You can't go anywhere there. You can get an awesome day. News for 2022.
All the cars that we thought were getting in the 21 are delayed. I spoke to Brad a couple of weeks ago and the i4 is not due to another month or two. Are the iXs in yet, Ross? I've got my name down on a X was iXm60.
Is that the end car? No, is that the dedicated car? No, it's the iXm but the... It went that true.
No, the Xm is the iX but the basically the m version. And when's that true? No, a year ago. Oh really?
My wife wants to go back to a BMW. And what's the purchase going on? So the choice was that I get a car and she takes the X5 or... I'm not sure yet.
Cool car. I think everything's in the electric. It's got 611 brake horsepower electric though. Have they quite a duoprice?
Oh, if they say it, wait over 200, 220, really. And how big is the extension cord to plug it in? Well, I'm going to... I've asked them for a really long one and then I thought I'm going to hack it and just cut it off so it can get more range.
Plug into the neighbours yard. What about three-phase power in the car? No, no, it's for a three-phase power in the house, not a car. I was going to say it's a sick looking car.
Why don't you plug it in the neighbours? At that point? Oh, like I do when I film a pull up. What makes the neighbours say, do you want to borrow my hose to fulfil your pull up?
Am I washing it? No, no, no, no. I'm going to go around with that. Take that.
It's all right. It's a DFT two hoses going at once. No, turn mine off. Put his in the bottom.
Turn mine off. Expensive water. How are you going shopping? Well, interesting.
So news is that with the new... So the new Amorok will be based on Ford Ranger. Correct. And what else is in the Volkswagen family?
Golf? No, not again again. What else is in the Volkswagen family? Oh, like brands like...
Yes, I like Lambo Porsche. Maybe a Bentley. Bentley. Goda.
No, so Bentley. Bentley making a huge... Bentley wants to cash in on cash-lapped tradies and he's looking at the new Amorok. Oh, that is bullshit.
That is bullshit. I'm sorry. It is bullshit. It is bullshit.
Listen, unless those fucking crazy forms are playing April Fool's on the 1st of January? I read the website and it said about cashed-up sparkies at the electricians, the bibles electricians. I said the link, and he goes, yeah, they're right. But he goes, I know about the Bentley being the weekend car.
I said, well, you've got an Audi Q8. That's a Bentley-Pedaga underneath, isn't it? So... But it went off the sword.
It looked like the X-Class. Yeah, the back door goes up a bit like the next one. Yeah, they just paid the office duty. I had to fucking do photo shots.
Yeah, they were the radio. That was a photo shot. And this and then... You know what?
That was... Can you just put the Continental front on out? Anything. Actually, I can make it work.
Same colour too, please. That was a funny article though. But they're right. The tradies, the other ones, they're cashed up at the moment.
You're right, they're right. They're us, we're just over here. Can you see them here? They're like a t-shirt.
What? Yeah. Yeah. I blew a shortage.
I turned it off because I thought it was better sound. Yeah, I blew shortages. I looked like a sort of soft out. You found some?
Oh, no, yeah, OK. So, but there's also... It's pretty much sorted so off out. Supply's not too bad.
If you get pissing your head, take. Local companies have pumped up production. Where they source it from? Where me?
The Euretha. What? Local pubs. Yeah.
But pubs and yours truly will be done at the Summer Nats on Saturday. Roscoe, are you still in or not? We're going to have you reporting from there, Hal? No, you can't pass and get me.
And I'll drive the rest of the way. In which car? X5. In the X5.
I'll bring the dog lot. What? He bought all 35 of them. No, no, no, no.
Listen, listen to me. Last time you gave us a people move up, and we thought we'd be a rock. OK? We all had to get a car to practice all the way back because you wanted to lower the fuck and put 20.
What the fuck was that? What the fuck was that? The fuck was that? The fuck was that?
The fuck and people move up. You guys are losers. You didn't realize what a cool car that was. The car was turned up to that football game.
People weren't even talking about the game. OK, who the fuck are these cool cats? Who is this guy? Cool cats.
We had to get out of there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no. You miss her. They said, Cants.
With the cat bear, Max. I'm like, I couldn't know about that bad. Looking about it, was it something you were falling asleep? Yeah, it kept me awake from bouncing up and down.
The car repressed. It was that bad. I showed the family to Queensland and had twice. Did you know that's something talked to you for three days?
Why did you just walk back? It was like, they're cool, yeah. They're lucky that I put speed ups on the freeway. Oh, that was a beautiful car.
That car. They do pay the call to the kangaroos and one-nuts. Cake? I love that.
Well, the cat size was speed ups when you drive that. Was it a caraville? What the fuck was it? What was the official title of it?
Caraville was a 70. It was an ED 70 Volkswagen multivan. Multivan, that's it. I thought it was a caraville.
Oh, she was beautiful, mate. She was beautiful. There's a new one. Is it the IDX?
Which one is the new one coming out next year? The electric Combi star. Really? Ah, they're talking about it.
I don't think they're talking about it. They're much of multivanies. I have a great man. Yeah.
No more, but it's not blue collar anymore, mate. Why did everything become 100 grand? Well, you can't buy anything before. You can't even get a Kia full drive or 55 grand.
It's everything's full freight at the moment and there's wait lists. If you can get a car within a month or two, you're lucky how you want it. The second-hand car market is still hot. I sold the Mazda CX3.
That's a fleet. Yeah, with 117,000 Ks on it. Paint was a market because it had been wrapped. We don't wrap it.
We talk all the wrap off. Hello, what do you reckon, Pete? What do you reckon? Had 117,000 Ks on it?
18. We're six years old. It was a 31,000 brand new. It was a 6 through.
22. How much, Pete? How much, a little? A little stick with 18 grand?
I think with 18 grand. Yeah, Pete, what do you reckon? 22. No, I got 18, 900 for it.
Who won? I was closer. I thought... What?
I thought... I thought... I thought... I thought it was going to be like...
I thought it was going to be like 10 grand. Yeah, I mean, they're popular cars. You're always going to get good money for that. I still think that the second-end market is hot, but if you ask for stupid prices on a shipbox, it's not going to sell.
There's people asking for stupid money at the moment. Yeah, but why? I've got no idea, mate. I can say it's not.
Yeah. Well, no, Ross, you know what I think it is. And generally like this, we've done with property as well. Basically, your new stock now, the dealers are just saying, fuck you, it's retail, plus the dealer delivery is full freight and fucking what we want.
What is that? General, GMSB, which is bringing the core vetting. Some dealers are putting 25 grand as dealers delivery on it. Was that in Australia?
I thought that was in the US. No, that's here. That's here. Fuck.
Yeah, that just now means, like you go out to buy, okay, I used C200, is the same price as it was brand new, a year and a half ago. No, that's bullshit. I had to get a brand new car, like full freight, 75, 80 grand for an outgoing model. Okay, but do you think it's because the cars that we're buying are also arriving with the ship load in the space?
She's like, if you go buy an X5M competition now, it's going to cost you 60 grand more, no, I'm not going to get 60 grand more than what I paid for the car, right? Because the retail's gone up by like 45 grand at the little tax on 60 grand more. And it's got less features. Don't I hit the display?
Got no wireless charging, got no keyless entry, can't get a thing for this, doesn't have the reblind, doesn't have this, because they're at their components. That's right. Do we get it because we're getting, because the cars are more expensive than the less features? No, it's a seller's market.
They just pump in the prices up. And if you need a car now, you can have to pay top dollar. It's supply and demand. There's no supply of cars.
That's what it is. It doesn't help the dealership because they can sell whatever walks in the door. But they'd rather do turnover than selling you one car full freight. They'd rather sell three or four discounted, then sell one at full freight.
Because later on, they won't have enough cars. Service, it's volume. It's all a numbers game. And at the moment, it's not the time to buy a new car, let alone a second-air car.
But what happens when your lease is up? What happens if you have a car accident and you need to buy a new car straight away? Like I said, it's now it's not the time to buy a car. Unless you're looking for an e-class wagon.
There are some deals out there. How did I have been looking? Opportunity. If it is, there are.
Find a deal? There are. There's cars out there. If you want to see less.
What's a bugger? OK. Which was not fucking cheap. How much was that, Hal?
And it had 39,000 kilometres. Yep. Right. And it was an update with Apple CarPlay like yours.
16, 7A model? Yep. 58, 900. That was 150,000.
That looked down. Right. And then the E220 diesel, the E220 diesel all-tracked wagon, which comes standard with the panoramic glass roof and everything else on e-class has. But at all, we'll drive in diesel.
62,940,000 case. Another 150,000 car when it was new. Yeah. So there are bargains out there.
You might rather walk through the bus and visit shit. Says the guy that had the client out there, we don't have a rain driver. Yeah. Hey, the rain driver.
What was the running? That was unique. What was the running and the dash was blank? That was unique.
It wasn't my fault from the size steps used to come in and out like the wings. Hal's got some rich new neighbours as well. There was a post recently with the new neighbour in there. What car was in your street now?
Bentley Bentayga. Bentley Bentayga in Green Acre. Who would have thought? Yeah.
We personalised other plates. Actually, it wasn't even the diesel. The diesel? Yeah.
So it was a company car. Yeah. Well, they're clearly not making as much as they're making out of it. I must be there my dad who's Friday car.
Yeah. With a custom plate. JE, did any famous people with JE? I thought it was generalised.
Many different things. I'm living in Green Acre. He's in the protection program. Is it the protection program?
Yeah. They're coming in Green Acre. Yeah. It's safe for them.
Oh, our first podcast for the year. Hal, you're off to the Sommenatz. You're on to the Sommenatz. You're on the Sommenatz.
