Get that camera shoved in my ass. Will you enjoy that? Will you put camera up your ass? No, it must be something.
You get a camera? Yeah, it's all the camera. You're intensive in my... In Tesla?
Oh, you're sweet. So, Baffest, this year, if you're still swiping, joining us? So, there's an extra bed there? But...
Run on those... There's five cars. What? Five cars racing it.
Now, we can see, but we're making us all in stuff for you. We've got five cars. Oh, so, Ric is like part of my team? Yes.
Ric is ten decibels lower than you. Yeah, and I'll go and put Tristan in the same room with you. But he's the killer. So, then, following night, I'll get the room.
So, Tristan's got a cute glass. He's got a cute glass. He's got a cute glass, huh? I wonder if you'll realise you better do him with one hitch, cos he all wakes up.
Good morning, good afternoon, you listening to the old talk car podcast? And you can probably already hear where we're recording from. Tom's all over bodies. Hey, how's all?
The Raven Report is here. We've got security. Hello, hello. And we've got the live audience with Ric here.
So... Now, my first date. And my first date. The third date.
In the live drive. We just had a lovely dinner prepared by Tom. I did two earlier, cos you have to move cars around. You could do it, or you know what?
You should do here. You should do wrecked cars and coffee. Because I mean, we're at the back. There's an E-type.
There's an X-J-S. There's a two-door Rolls Royce. Funny thing about those two jags down there, too. No, no, no, I'll tell Ric.
Put a car. No, no, no, no, no. Put the tarp over the convertible. Yeah, the convertible jag.
It's a red one. No, no, no, no, no, no. You don't understand. The other one down the bottom is...
The one down the bottom. Yeah, it is. The other one at the top, but not the one on the hoist. Yeah, no, no.
So who's put the one on the hoist? So he's got the wrong one. No, no, no, no. Hang on, hang on.
He might have finished putting the tarp on. And then he told me that's not the car I wanted done. And I said, so where's the camera? So how many times you get two?
So he told us worth a couple hundred thousand. The X-J's worth one thousand. And it's just, he had the back with the tarp. You got the Rolls Royce.
What's the two-door call the fucking two-door? Two-door. Two-door. No, no, I've got to think from Rillis.
I wanted to find a Rillis. And then what'd you put it out? Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah.
It's got the funny roof, the starlight roof. Yes, it has, romantically. And it's got the pinstripey. There's only one guy that does it literally by hand at Rillis Royce.
But you've got a guy that does it. But he doesn't fly from Rillis. Does he fly from Rillis? No, no.
That's a dying up. Scrolls, and something else they're called, scrolls and rolls or whatever they call it. I can't remember. But there's not that many who do it now.
You know, the ones who do all the trucks and all that. There's one thing you need to do. Yeah, it's just the brush. It's like a dagger brush and they can go straight line from inside.
And the truck ones are weird. The gots are weird. It's not a girl. But we had a jagged on recent, when I say recently, six months ago.
But he actually used masking tape and then done it. No, but he's still done it by hand. But he had the borders of the masking tape so he could just awkward. Yeah, but yeah.
I think I said you used the ruler. No, actually. You could get the ruler. He said I made a ruler.
And he's dead fucking straight. So the front of the castle, the back of the car. No, I got a little bit of crack. I got the car out there.
What's up? I got the car out there. The Capriat. I've been asking you on.
He walks down there and he sees the Mercedes. So the other recent acquisition. And he has an heart attack. What are we doing to it?
Well, I got asked about three months ago to repaint the bottom half because it was looking at you. So it's 2320 convertible like the one Tom Cruise used in the firm, like the swear ones from the 90s. So I like it. It's nice.
So you've taken the cladding off the plastic. Oh, nice work. I'm going to use that next time. I'll not fall dry.
They're cladding off the Merc converter. Molds. Molds. Molds.
Not the kind you're paying money for. So they do silo. But they're lower door molds all off. But I'm going to say cladding.
That's a good thing. Very cool. I'm going to use that. I'm going to use that and see if they pick it up and get back out.
Then there's the CXA for sale with the missing relay. Yeah, but that's pretty good. Moechle can't. We've also got...
And there goes Johnny sneaking up. What do you know I guess we're on now? Hang on. Shall I guess it?
No. Except for them. No, I don't know. It's Minks Gentlemen Club's nine-tenth birthday today.
Oh, there you go. So there's a plug for you, Norm. So basically, what else was down there? The Range Rover?
I'm trying to hollow out. A couple of beavers. We're closing three weeks. Yeah, if you first slash my car tomorrow, what do you mean?
I'll get a pound before moving cars. Yeah, you can't. I can't bring a car and get it back by Christmas. Well, the guy coming tomorrow thinks he is.
I'll tell you, but this look, before I'm at my other shops, I had this thing where I always stayed open. And at Christmas time is when I got new companies and new clients. Because they're hunting around. And because I know there was a guy once called Rick who taught me a good thing.
One customer get the lot. It may be good to that first customer and you'll get everybody knows. What do I have? Have you passed the BBQ test?
If someone at a BBQ on a weekend says, go and see Tom, he's the best. You've got that client. But if you drop the ball, you've dropped two clients. The BBQ test is a hard one.
Some need to be dropped, but I know. But I feel bad when I do drop them. When I do drop them on purpose, I feel bad. Because I'm getting too old, like Rick says, but I'm not the only one.
I've got their patience for the shit anymore. What about with parts of play? I said I've got a joke. If I bring my car in.
I'm thinking two or three weeks later. Things are still short. It's still short. Imagine we've got a couple of cars driving around now missing parts.
You can't get it. I just spent quite then. They're driving around with missing parts. Or the old part of damage.
Yeah, yeah. The driver knows that the end screen is missing. He's super out of the car. Some of the parts have come.
But the rest of them, active grill, I think, on that level of waiting. Have you seen some of these new cars, Rick? The guy back was covering the whole radiator. It must be set to heat up quickly.
For the heat, I know that. Some of them are dynamics as well. You reckon? Oh, well.
It's the fuel economy level down. So what about Bazz, there's a promise? He's walking around. Oh, I thought he was not making a DVD, seriously.
Oh, my nose is leaking. It's called running, man. So, who else have bad coppers at the moment? Everyone is, really.
That's not a mess. A mess that's super rude at the moment is the worst of me. But every half the parts you can't work on half the cars. Yeah, well, but some of these cars, I've got this policy where the parts do not arrive here before the car comes.
Because sometimes, like a seat underneath this, half these cars, would you do like monthly car and all parts worth money? Into the cars that always come? Eventually, after we arrested. So the cars, you've all of the parts, you've expected the car.
The cars are here yet. So where's the car? They're driving them still. Oh, so if it's a minor vehicle.
Maybe take to somewhere else. No, they can't. Once it's been assisted and authorized to us, and we're at the part of the day. It's just like we had a new JP and the parts were worth eight grand.
And the lady kept on delaying it, delaying it, delaying it, delaying it. It's eight grand that I've got out for. It's a chance to come in. You know, I arrested the bringing in.
And he had paid it with the truck. Yeah, when the truck finished. Unless you do something shifting, you even had to do it. I did.
And there was a ramp, there's a ramp for eight out there. And there's a few of them. Yeah, it's like sitting in a lounge. Yeah, they're pretty comfortable.
And driving here. You're outside and you're driving next to you because you're not the leather. You're not the leather coming out of there. That's that strong.
Yeah. But the other, we had a new one before the one you saw. Yeah, that's it. And the other one was heaps, better.
You saw that black one. The other one was the big one. Yeah, the inside's got a big screen. It's like an idea.
It's just not even the seat was comfortable. Actually, driving back, we bring that from Brookvile. And my brother was driving at Fagin. He was driving it.
And I'll sit in the passenger seat and I'll like to fall asleep these days. And he goes, oh, these are real comfortable. I go, actually, it's not because when you roll back, it gets a hump in the middle and the head is in the weird spot. And it feels like a really.
You don't have to get comfortable with the head rest. I've never used a head rest because you don't have to fall asleep. Yeah, I have to. That's why I'm the head rest.
Some of them are weird and some of them you just don't want them to be too comfortable. There is some cars that you get in that seat and it is terrific because I drive so many cars, you get some that you think are going to be good in a shit. It's just a manufacturer that has good seats. Like I've been Volvo, not bad.
People, Ray, Bababag, W. I've never found a comfortable bed W. I can't handle them. Do you remember the old Mercs, like you're that one down there, right?
Yeah, they're not those seats right. I'm on a piece of cardboard on springs. Yeah, the olds seats are there. That's what they felt like.
The new Mercs seats aren't bad. And some of them when you turn corners actually pop up, they hug you. But I tell you the most Subaru, there you go. Subaru seats are pretty comfy.
That's pretty good. Yeah, the AIG of G1 is like, you're got Fethos there. You said that I'm 12 hours in from that. We need a doctor after we came back.
I was sitting on a bench when he came back. Yeah, but hang on, like you've found that there's a bad idea of the fuck. There's four of us here, right? Three of us.
Our arse wouldn't touch the bottom of the seat. Ricks the only one who popped the other slide in and actually killed the bottom of the seat. So that's our problem. The seats may become...
You can wear a bar that way. That's what it is. Well, every time there's a race car here, we have to ask Rick to move it. Because if I get in there, I'm like it now.
I was on a track day and there was a hot lap in, I think it was a challenger. It was a race car and I had to crawl through the fucking window. And I was snuckin' in it with a net. And then because I'm just quiet, they got me in.
Was that the same? No, no, no. Did you do that thing at Seema where you said you were going to get in the car and go for spinning? No, it says you should Seema.
Start running on that Seema again. But news is it's different to what I've already said. General Mo's a Ford Mote then. So Ford at the front had...
they get the big car back at the front and they do hot laps and burnouts at the end. They had the F-100 trucks and the raps. That's the two in the end. The Ford was a dirty sheet.
And General Mo's were at the back and you could drive a Camaro and do it hot lap in a Corvette. And inside the Ford stand was taken over by Lexus. Really? And the General Mote stand was taken over by Dodge.
That's it. Yeah. So there was no General Mo's or Ford... That's funny.
Yeah. It was... it felt a bit differently with the major things. And then what at the front with Ford used to be that who are you going doing burnouts?
Who's that? Who are you going to drive? What's your name? Yeah, they're Ken Bloggs.
They've got a couple more listeners on us. So they were doing burnouts in Super... drifting in Supras. And then next to it was like burnout.
It almost felt like I was at some of that. I was doing burnouts so there's two mini circuits rather than one big four in one at the front. But it was amazing. Some of that's coming up soon.
Some of that's for not trying that. What are you preparing for some of that? Or the Mustang... or hang on.
You just wouldn't believe it. But the Mustang ain't going to be ready. Of course. It's just the one we're going to have on the podcast to use.
Yeah. It's close. It's very, very close. It's just these trimming wheels.
It will be definitely 100% next year. It's running. That's what you said. They last year.
2035. Just you have to go to the electrician. It's a van de la electrician. All I need is wheels and trim.
It's at Ken from Coppercraft now. You're the great kids. You haven't got them. Yeah, I know.
It'll be ready next year. But this year we're taking the real supercharged thing that vanios owns now. A VK with an LS7 or whatever it's got in it. We've got a turbo thing and all that on it.
Maybe an XYGT that's for drag racing. And the good old faithful. The end. It's really 89.
Good old. So basically we're going to organise a few live drives in each of these cars that someone has this season. So a couple months time you'll hear that. I mean a few weeks.
Last month. I've seen it a couple weeks. Sorry. Couple of apologies I should have mentioned at the top of the show.
The last episode of the car short we've got a brand new mic that we're using. And we went outside and the wind was blowing. We could hardly hear us talking. Something has a rally drive.
No, no, no. So when we went to the kids were to charge the Tesla up we had a bit of a chat outside with a little. And that's why I was a short episode last week. So apologies for that.
It would have been torture put that track on with that wind noise. So it was unbearable for me a little line. I couldn't share no fixes. So we didn't do that.
But we've also got a apologies for Melissa. Yes. I know. I apologize for that.
I apologize for that. No, no. I apologize for that. You.
Yes. The complaint for that. I've got the complaint Tom. So someone reckons they sent me an email.
Yes. I can't find what I want to talk about. Other things. My email's not a guy.
So if anyone's got, can they please email in some questions? Yes. But we're going to have it. We can have it.
We can have it. We can't remember what it was. Oh, it's harassing you that you never get questions. Well, I know because you put the wrong fucking email.
But I'll talk to you RQUE at outlook.com.au. You've got to check that. I've got to figure out where I sent it from. Yeah.
If I sent it from home or here or my phone. But we did get some comments from our, and I haven't had a chance to, I don't know, you love comments and questions. Yeah. So I've got a few of them down.
So let's go through it because Tom gets excited when it comes to. I'll say you've got some. How'd you get them to leave? No, no, these are comments as well.
So there was the page where we went to SEMA and there was the photo with, um, the scooters. Yeah. So basically, there's a girl. We got a girl listener.
And she wrote, oh, I'm G. I think that's, oh my God. Isn't it? Oh my God.
I'm asking her for a little tech person. Oh my God. The scooters. I'm dying.
That's from a girl called Mary Rhone's. Oh my God. She's, hey. Let me just say, one year when she connected to SEMA, I had the scooter parked into her hotel room.
I was like, I'm a guy. If I could look around and say, can you hire them at SEMA? No, I'm going to deliver to experts now. Yeah.
You can hire them at SEMA, but they doubled the price where if you order them online, they deliver them to your hotel. Excuse me. Yeah. And then you're right.
They'll be right into the business. The business eyes are closed open. I'm telling you, people are offering us money to jump on it when we're at SEMA. You know, tell me this.
We don't have to walk. That's right. It seems. Can we cut this out of this because there'll be too many people out here.
No, no, no, but they don't know where I get them from. Okay. Yeah, that's fine. Mary, thank you for the question.
And I hope we answered that for you. So I said to Paul, they're the Tesla of Scooters. So that was some comments on that. The other one was they had some builds at SEMA.
And I reckon the car of the show was at 300 SEMA. So he's going up with that up on Instagram. And I've got a few comments in relation to that. The captain basically said, can we drive on the next podcast?
I wish. What do you want to drive? That 300 SEMA. You're not into it.
It's a 1950s car. So I wish. And my bad. It would have cost a bomb.
The original car cost a fortune. Little old restoring that in that way. Any cool box wagons. Yeah.
Did you see the picture that I was saying here? Yeah. The car on the gear. We restored it.
It's been sitting in someone's garage for 18 years. That picture. Yeah. It was like a barn for us.
Yeah. So you restored that 18 years ago? No longer. That's part of the game.
It's about 18 years ago. Well, he must have gone there and seen it. I don't know. I don't know.
Is it still around? Yeah. You know what? It's like a bike.
I'd like to buy it. Oh, I'll buy it. It's a lot of room here. I'd like to buy it.
Yeah. Because I remember back then. What car is it? Car.
Car. Car. Yeah. Every time there's a Volkswagen Porsche.
Yeah. Because back in those days, every time I'll restore a weird car, I would actually buy one as well. Was that an original engine? Would you guys suit that?
No, it's a super dark. That's probably why. It's been modified. Yeah.
It could go. Yeah. It could go. But I would buy.
I had actual car again myself running. It was immaculate. The body had crow feet all day or crow feet and the paint. It was mangled.
Right. Well, mate. Ask me. Tell us back then after then for messy trophy.
That carbon one. The best, when you took it. Oh, he did. Okay.
Okay. How did that win? He goes. He only won it.
He goes. The trache was a noise sign. The carbon guy was the only one. Yeah.
Yeah. Because the running gear in it was immaculate like I always get. But the body was bad. Well, the car shows are coming back.
I want to take some of our cars to the gym. Usually you get that German car shows. I think it's coming on. I think it's already been done.
It's early next year. It's early next year. It will be next year. I'm looking out for some car shows.
And the Capriot take it to a Ford day. Yeah. Come on. You have the best Caprios around.
The True. It's a turbo. It's a turbo. Yeah.
Do the lights open in the front? Yeah, of course I have. That's the water on there. Don't scare me.
Oh, mate. It's been making the guy for ages. Just got jumped out and drove it off. So I'm going to go to some of those cars show some trophies.
We're going to take some of those. You don't have to stay when it's finished. I'll probably go to the only nine six days if I take it for a Porsche day. They're not six days.
Clean up. Clean up like 13 in the country. What else was it? I don't have fiber gear.
I'll try truck. Hey, give us a wing. Half his face goes on yourself. I can't do this one.
Why? Okay. So why are we? I think he's got something for it.
Anyway, we've got Camper coming up. So we're going to take care. Can we try and get into the radio? I've reached out to a couple years ago.
On the M5, we'll drive into the interview and we've got called up literally minutes half an hour before we're due to start the interview. Guys, don't come. I think it might get cancelled. The latter is about to make an announcement.
And the theatre got cancelled. I got cancelled. So lucky we didn't do that either. So if we could do the live drives in the cars and get into the radio, do we?
Yeah. So we've reached out to the boys. I met the owners, Red X, that run some of that's adding Vegas up up into them there. So we're trying to organize an interview before that and talk about the upcoming some of that.
So that's something that we can probably organize coming up. No promises. We've got Bathers coming up. We're going to go back out there.
We've been invited again, which is great. And we'll go and get it. Yeah, we'll go and get access to it. Well, there's five cars this year.
Next year. Hang on, next year. Five cars are going to be human. And the 12 hour.
The six hour. So we're going to go out there and be invited in the pits there, which is good so we can spread out. And it sounds like a start. I'm invited to sleep there.
Yeah. We've rigged another two store out and my son who wants to kill one from one. He can't. He's going to sleep outside the tent.
No. Like if we leave the doors open, he can go from room to room to find the corner that's leaking. The human dog. I look at Fethos as soon as we start talking about Bathers to his face like drops.
Because he- Silly-booked a ticket to- Oh, you're not coming to security. So I'm on the Friday when we leave for Bathers. He's lying to- No, this is- He's not going to get married or have another kid or something like that. How's the jail, so go on.
Don't you start with that. The worst guy ever got. Right. We drive it from that lane.
How can I be there? No, no. It's in your head. It is.
What happened? It's got problems in there. It's got the same personality. What's it like?
What do you- What do you- What do you- Okay. Okay. I reckon it's a traction control. Okay.
So what do you- Yeah, no, no. You want to just start? It's just a hammering- It's what it cruises off the lights. It's starters.
Yeah. But it seems like traction control- I don't know. Like, please, it's got different- It's a key box issue. No.
It's a- It's either give up to me, or jump from first key to fifth right away, or you know, just jump. It's not to that. Of course it's on the bottom screen. What does it do that far?
Well, why don't you- No, I'm showing them. What about- Hey, does it all the time? I took the mechanic- I took the mechanic- I took the mechanic- I took the mechanic- The dude- The dude- The dude- I took the mechanic- I just got the car today. I did it.
I got the car today. I got the car today. I got the car and it just- Sit up at dash cam, but put it at the back window. So when you drive it, it does it, and you've got it recorded.
That's the best thing to do. It's not bad idea. I've always- I've always had a problem- I know the first mechanic- I've always had problems with the entertainment system and that. You just film it.
Well, that's what I always even mind. Because this one is, you know, what are you going to film? Because you can't- You're not going to show that. You can't.
But from the back, looking forward, especially if it's something unique, like or something small, that you want to prove it to, just film it. It could be what you described. It could be anything. It could be a clutch.
It could be a one-time you just take a drive. First of the fifth. First of the fifth. First of the fifth.
It's a night speed. Night speed. What do you do with night speed? Remember when- The power line got too sweet?
High line. Then you got- Yeah, high-five-no. Fast. Very fast.
The best- The best- The best- I got- I got a small block here and had it- Not that much like a frame? It looked like a piece of crap, this thing... You don't have micro frame? No, no, no, no.
Through the airport tunnel. Where the runway tunnel? Yes, just a bit shorter. Yes, because it wasn't a second runway.
Yeah, that's right, so eHm... No, you've had to- Not your age. Yeah. First time in it, crews in town probably doing about 70- second gear- Then you'd see- no, drop it to first and that thing with a slingshot.
And that's where I got- No, I built a Capriva, small block in it, power glide, but my silly mistake was my Capriva was an RS3100 and I hacked it all up. That was a V6 one? That's worth it, unfortunately. Yeah, but the guy who had it before me had already put it on my hand.
I'm sure a lot of cars have slipped through Tom's hands. I chopped it up and pretty small block in it. Is that used in that way? Yeah, yeah.
You get a hands on it? No, forget about it, it's gone on. I've had some cars. And how many S-week balloons?
Did you have my brother given away? Like, fine. It's so many. Showcase showdown, you get away.
S-week balloons, like, you have one. I know. Did you see the one he just bought? Who were you?
That Maloo's, right? There was the VN, the GN. The first one. Or Elias had brought stripes.
And there was only seven of them from him. The other handful of the stripes. They were stripes. They were stripes.
We'd go through four of them. I had one. I drove my brother's. My back then.
This thing was an animal and it was standard. Like, it just wanted to go. Well, we had one that was run a tour of flat. That was every day, you know what I mean?
But something always happens to all. One got stolen from... Yeah, yeah. And there's none of them.
And we had one we sold. Even that standard VJU, you don't see any. There's none around. Saying that, I did see one today.
They're not around. A lot of cars are doing well. They're going through your hands and they're worth a fortune. Everything goes in.
That's the thing that sucks. The only one you've kept is the Mustang. Yeah, I know. It's worth bananas.
It's only for the Mustang used to be a podcast like $150. Yeah, remember, Mustang's talking about Mustangs. We have a mate that's got a dummy mind, mate. And you guys still talking about...
It's the longest car ever taken me to build. Usually it used to be three months. But this car here is the longest. I'm over it.
I've just got another thing for it. I'm excited when it came back from getting dynoed and it's running good. It must get to a certain stage. Then I lost it again.
Did I get a something happen to it again? Right now, petrol. I went to kids on Sunday and it goes back. The pipes don't go in the wrong position.
It's the start of the game. It goes to start at no pension. How's it going to gauge? Did you put a dash cap or you knew that was no petrol?
No. It's not the dash cap. It's the same thing. It's a change of money.
But the gauges were not. Yeah, but it's all... What's that system called in there? Digital.
It's all... Oh, you got a digital dashboard? It's all theme it. It's all...
It's full. It's parachute for everything. It's got power shoes on it. It's all on the street.
Yeah. But it's not electric. Yeah. It's like work.
