What are they? Is it like scratch and sniff? You put your number there in there. What is it?
Do you want something? What do you want? Can you have a look? What is it?
It's playing on my glasses. It's got me in for instant prizes. And then we're now in neutral bullet. Together.
Dom. So it's not part of a... Nutribulant, are you serious? What is it?
It's a thing that makes you stir shinders and shit. What are you doing? Oh no, this is clean. I'm just trying to find it.
You're stirring the... We don't need your glasses or anything. I'd send it to the mirror. Are you serious?
They're not around like... They're... They're drinking. They're drinking.
No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. I'll give it to me, say.
No. Okay. No, no, no. That's not gonna wreck you all year.
Is it all right? In here? When you listen to it tonight and it's really loud, you tell me okay? What do you mean?
What's really loud? Nothing. What's wrong with it in here? Nothing.
Nothing's wrong with it. See what it does to me? I make you feel guilty. You're banging the plates.
You're in the studio in here? I'm gonna stand there. No, his fault is that he hasn't bought the bottle. I don't know what the title is.
Oh, boy. I'll see. I'll see if they get these mad. It's a stripper poll in the recording studio.
Well, that's... I mean, I think it's acceptable. How do you do a stripper poll in the recording studio? Oh.
Good morning. After a good evening, we're listening to the old talk card podcast back. We're live from the Massos Club because the studio's not ready. Tom's a stripper poll's not in yet.
I haven't got my table and we're arguing over which seats to get. And a smell of beautiful Masonic Hall through. Masonic? The voice of Chris from Collecticards is joining us.
He's just recently coming back with Japan. Hey, he's over here. He's over here. He's been back in the show for a while.
And Tom, the Raven Reporter, is here? That's what you say. Hello, you know. We could see if an audio is here.
No, no, no. That's a microphone in front of you. Yes, yes, yes. And in the audience, we've got the Firemen's here, so live audience.
So, welcome back. You went to Japan. I did indeed. The land of the Rising Sun.
Is it still rising there? It's not rising much anymore, to view that. Their economy has taken a bunch. Now, the third largest economy in the world.
Sorry, yeah. They're still up there. They're still up there. They're still up there.
They're still up there. They're still up there. They're still up there. They're still up there.
The developers asked to get the best economic Sitter Pack up for their cars. Because they're come out of Australia, so unfortunately. They've got a pink office in Australia, 400 people. They just know they're just fine answers, basically.
Yeah. But they've got you know, separate weather, U.S. But they huge. I was there talking to their four days.
So, you got to City. Oh, we're going to City, which is Nagoya, everybody. And we have five constructed from Tokyo. Three hours in a bullet train.
No, one and a half of a bullet train, three hours if you have to go walk, What Labor? That you'd be 180 ND focometers an hour, didn't feel a bump. Sir, you called the bullet train. Wasoph remic in the blau of TikTok.
Was it awesome? And so you've got then three hours three hours for the question. It's about It's about 40 minutes more camera. Did I have cows?
No, no, no camera I had to disguise the National City no it is it is this is city No, but we'll just under yeah, correct. Can I ask a question? Do I have a fence off? No, how does this not be a animal?
Have you seen the nose of the bullet train? It's like an airplane. Absolutely. It'll just flick off a cow about 300 meters past it So does it run around animals?
Well, it is it is called off obviously But I'm sure we've got for captain And the kegory's feels in Australia. Well, man, absolutely But what are we gonna do with it? So it's a quicker than the TV the French train. I don't know how those French trains go I don't know.
This is too too easy. I recorded last last year. It's 20 sounds a lot, but not a lot. Yeah, but a lot for train Yeah, yeah, it'll be the red rat in a race as we sure.
But you couldn't get up to those speeds of all stations It's a little bit different. It's a bullet in the red for all stations actually. I have to call this unbelievable. You give first class If you jump in the end you end up in the mother of the cowboys.
So not quite. So which which are you at first class? Of course. So who was my son?
Sakey in the front. Yeah, exactly. Hey, let's speak. Can you speak at all?
Wait, what? How will you communicate over there? Well, they've got translators. They feel very Japanese.
Very Japanese. Oh, yeah. It's a very close sign. It is an island that protects itself.
And only up until the 60s or 70s that allowed foreigners to come in. So Toyota is potentially going to be a customer of mine. I can't see who I am. No, this is a public war on me.
It's Dave not Chris. And as you know, cars are computers. Right? Close computers.
They control engine systems, management systems, braking systems, you know, communications, all that stuff. Cars now are getting separate computers which are connected to the internet. And that potentially allows them to be hacked. So basically your company, you went there and finished our software in order to communicate car to car or car to base or car to anything.
It's called IoT, the internet of things. It's just got to build this shit that's happening now with them. That's intelligence. I can do this.
Turn what you know that Tom? I just wanted to know what we have to see. We're really getting into it. So there is a city nearby in Nagoya, big base.
They literally had a whole place. Amazing. Well the lights on the cars turned red and started killing people. No, no, no.
It wasn't Godzilla this week by the way. It wasn't Godzilla. That's Christine. Is it the...
No, that was the car that they repaired itself. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's a special kill pick for the repair itself. What's that?
What's that? Christine? I did repair itself. Yeah, yeah.
Let me say, 60 maybe. How old is it? How old is it? It's an 80s film, but Christine was a 50s ballet.
It was a Chevy ballet. He used to kill people all for the guy to fix their up and she destroyed itself a couple of times. And then at night it would repair itself. And in the video you'd see it reversed repairing itself.
So what would the Japanese version be of Christine? Well, I didn't see any good. That's great. That's great.
I did it right away. I did it right away. I did it right away. I did it right away.
I was also having a tissue by the way. It was a very casual lady now. Did they know what that was? They love it.
Actually, you guys would love it. In Tokyo, all these ring roads above the city. And there's a tour called the Tokyo Drift Tour. And you go around it really late at night and you drift around.
They're making up everywhere. It's amazing. They've got an amazing car culture in Japan. I've got a couple of people that I know.
I can't remember the names of their companies. They go over there all the time who know all those people who could take us. Wow. What are we waiting for?
I don't know. We can actually go on. I'm trying to drag you to see. I'm trying to help Japan.
I'm trying to bring cars over the flat out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My wife's been in my daughter's go to the end of the year. I'm hanging a girl.
The Japanese cars are in terms of the normal cars. Most cars are the road-printing youth. They don't keep any cars that are older than 10 years. They flog them off globally.
Yeah, they go to New Zealand. You just have the big grey market for them. And we import them as well. But obviously through a lot of red tape and the like, as it always is in Australia.
But for that being some of those cars, the cars that are in Japan, they're crushing them. Correct. They're trying to find out where they're at. It was at the S2000, the original two out from the six.
Oh, yes. That was in the Jones Bond. Well, that one, what was that called? That's a mean all around it.
Or a Mazda Roadpaster. A roadpaster. Which is the Kingswood with a road engine. The only two left of the walk because they all got crushed.
So, yeah. That's a trial run. That one, kids? Mazda Roadpaster.
What the hell? I think it was one in Australia's one in Japan. And that's it. There's none.
It will be crushed. And it was a very, like the road, it was so underpowered for that body. They're trying to make a luxury car out of it. Right?
But what's the CIO? What's the one that the... It's called the Century. The Century.
The Century is the Yakuza. And that's beautiful. They've got the new Century. And folks, they look it up.
They look it up. They look it up. They look amazing. Yeah.
And some of Australia's. They look like V8, they look like V12. And you can buy them as long as 10 to 12 grand here. That's the...
That's the... That's the answer, such a good thing. Pre-2004, the gearbox was a bit sluggish. You've got a bit of problem with gearbox.
Yeah, I do. You've got a bit of problem with gearbox. Like you said, I'm only working on this before. I'm having a gearbox at five.
Thank you, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. No speeds. So, in past 2005, I think it was six.
The gearbox was dreading and improved. And then the new one, which is, you know, it's too much of a shake. It's too much of a shake. It's too much of a shame.
It's too much of a more box of gear. And the way we do it is extra. What was the greatest feature that car guys is the passenger front seat has a hole in it. So, you put your seat down and you put your feet through it.
And the boss would light it up and fit through the front seat. It's like the S63. Is that right? We jumped into the S63 and Tom goes, left rear, left rear.
What the fuck? So, I'm sitting in the door doing a live drive in the S63. And all of a sudden, the corner of my eye, I see the front seat folding forward. So, he's got a business class seat.
The left rear. And he presses the business class seat and folds on the back of the front seat. So, you see, he's sitting down. This was a port hole that drops the hole in the back and the back of the back.
And by the way, never let that always clap. That was the sound. The squeaky sound. You know what happens to that?
You know what happens? No, you know what happens? Your pants move, your under these dapits, it's like chugging. I'm not sure about you getting my hands on anything.
It's true. I just never got around to one of them Japanese cars. Your slide your ass will turn out. And your pants will be like your balls don't they?
Look at all of that one. I am 55 though. I'm definitely going to take a good time. So, that would have all of your own.
I hate that all of your own. I love it. I love it. But they still are on the road in a major way.
It's their CEO's standard car. And of course, they've got the stretch version. So, I've got some photos here from Toyota. And they've got the stretch version of the centric.
Yeah, we did. That's going to be hard on the show on the radio. No, that's where social media comes in. It comes in your posting.
And then listen, it's going to come off. Let me give you some indication of what the words are inside the... I'm all black. That is a dapit.
No, there's grey. There's blue. Yeah, there's also different colours. But show you just...
I'll put a copy of it. I can't see it. Stop being there. As you walk in to Toyota, driving business forward with IT.
This is the IT department. Driving business. And this is the stretched new version of these entry. So, we'll post it up in your own.
If you notice the seat bill has got a touch of Rolls Royce. It does indeed. Really? Oh, a stretch.
Yeah, but you don't say the readle to be like a Rolls Royce. They're rounded and out of it. Yeah, yeah. Great trip.
I love what the Japanese do business. They're hard to go shaders. So, is it a city itself? Is it a city itself?
Is it a city? They're manufacturing there as well. They do nearby, part thereof. They're producing 20 million connected cars a year.
20 million? So, the connectivity's already started? Are you like the next generation? We are.
You improve different features like? They're now getting a lot more features in their connected cars. And they feel that they need to actually protect from any, you know, spurious attacks. And so, they need to have the appropriate security for their cars.
Can you hack it? Is it like the Chrysler? Of course. Of course.
Everything's hackable. Everything's hackable. So, you go back to the chair as well. We're still on the design.
It wasn't either. It wasn't either. It was a big meeting. It was three months right up to the meeting.
To ascertain whether we had the right technology for them, they invited us to the other. That's mean, it's pretty much a favourite situation. You know, extend that conversation with them. You know, great nightlife.
Everything's open constantly day and night. Rapongue is a favourite spot for westerners. You know, it's alive and kicking. Is that the other section?
Yes, that's Shibuya. That's like a famous city. That is a very famous city. Look at that eight rows of them meeting the one.
And all you can see is people with their hands up in the end with their phones. They're flashing a lot of people together. Can I say something earlier on the week, Pete? I'll say something about something else.
I'll say something about something else. I'll be going. It has a interesting segway from us. Thank you.
Hang on to say it. Hey, for 35 years I've been going, I went to enter last week. And they tell me no more entries. What?
We're running in June, May, not even June yet. Yeah, they won't. Anyway, and I've been going 35 years. I've spent 10 years building a car.
And it's ready for this year's summoner. And now they won't prove me they won't enter anymore people. No, there's too many inches. It was a lot last year though.
It was a lot of cars. Yeah, but it's just a point. Is that going on every year? It's a troll.
I'll be going to. So, that's going to sound like we had a one break. But to the audience, there's like three seconds of. So, do you understand why the food podcast might not work?
Yes, I know. Because everyone's fucking eating. It's all. So, we just smashed a number of plates here at the Masso Club.
So, basically, what's happened to someone that's booked out already? It's booked out. Because last year, it was a lot of cars. It was pretty busy.
It's booked out, or they're limiting the numbers. They're limiting the numbers. I don't know. We've sent emails to say why, and the entries are full.
When they're showing it again? First week of January. First week of January. Oh, 7 months away.
It's already full. It's been a little bit apparently. Yeah, but you know what? Every year I used to enter three or four months before him.
Oh, right. I used to reserve my numbers at the beginning of the year, which I always do. 66 and 67, if you're still listening. And in the last year, they'd actually let me get my numbers away.
And they'd really got them back and gave me some. Oh, wow. So, did you reserve your numbers every year? Yes.
But how could you now? You can't... I don't know. So, someone else hasn't got 66 and 77?
I don't know. You're not here. It's not fair, man. Like honestly, I'm pissed.
I've been faithful there. Have you been to them? Email. Every day.
It's a private organization. What is it? Yeah, the original guy sold a couple of years back to Motor X. Oh, that's so correct.
So, the original guy had it for 25, 26 years. And there was a Motor X in Sydney and he was like, yeah, yeah. So, basically Motor X run it. And they've been trying to get the river that time we had.
And it was during COVID. So, Tom and I were driving a woolen one to meet up with one of the Motor X marketing guys. And he rang us, literally on the freeway saying, we just don't have to do that. We always do a U-turn because we think Lattice has got to pull the plug and shut down.
So, someone else has got to be in Sydney that year. So, Canberra already shut down. No, it was still going to be in Canberra. Is that the fires on that?
Was that the year of the fires? It was 20, the fires were 19, the end of 19. No, no, COVID didn't start with the fires. It was going to be running at Sydney and they were going to promote it with us.
And basically, they said to us, Gladys, because Gladys shut up. So, it was going to be in Sydney and Gladys shut it. And we're going to U-turn. That's Chris, Lauren, and Drew.
Sorry guys. Yeah, we're done at U-turn and we came back. We came back. He made the things.
Man, I'm just going to get pissed off. I could see it. What's the cars you ended in? Well, I've got a daily driven before many, many years ago, and a 67 Mustang.
Well, well, it's not that. It's just, I know it's on there. Right. And now there's a lot of different cars.
And the worst thing is, you know what? I'm introducing a new generation to it. Right. Right.
The last couple of years. And now, they're just busting. So, you can't become a phone. You don't know anyone that you can become a phone to.
Maybe before. I used to send them a basket at the fruit basket every year. Really? Because we don't know the people now.
Yeah, it's different. It's a little bit of a corporation. Right. It's a little business now.
Right. And they knew who I was. I sent my fruit basket or something. Yeah, yeah.
We don't know anyone on it. And then when I drive in there, like I know, because we always change something when we get through it. Yeah, right. Okay.
But it's just, it sucks, man. And the Mustang's gonna be ready for this year, too. But the only thing was this year, there was a lot of cars there. We did say it took forever to do the lap.
It took forever. You know what happened this year, too? Also, we were leaving our hotel where we booked the room at QT every year. Right.
The suite. Yeah. Right. The only one there.
This year. So, actually, they know I booked it every year. This year, I came back to Sydney. I want to be back to work again.
I want to be back to the book again. I'll bring up. I'd like to get the suites on the transfer. Oh, sorry.
Someone's already booked it. I'll go, what? You can go and get away. Yeah, they booked it.
But the day we checked out, they booked it. Geez. So, I'll tell them as well. Is that for the coming year?
Yeah. So, it's all changed. It's all changed. It's all happened.
It's all happened. It's all happened. It's all happened. It's all happened.
It's all happened. It's all happened. It's all happened. I just went.
Oh, your car has been popping. Ladies and welcome. Yeah, just a big Tesla. Yeah, just a big outside.
The only Australian electric car. Yeah, it's funny because I did mention the last year it was very busy, so they must have, I mean, it was the first few years of post-COVID-19. So, I think everyone wanted to get out there. It was rather wild as well.
It's sold out. Yeah. It sucks. Lot of bullshit.
We're still trying. You can go and turn deep, but you can't bug people. You can't even cut your hair. I'll spend nearly three, four hundred grand on my car.
I'm going to park it down the road. Tom, give us a breakdown of what? You can spend $300,000 on that car with the economy. $1,000 on that car with.
Everything's modified. Every single thing that's why you're conditioning a power steering. For a Mustang. Can't imagine that being expensive.
What's the big expenses? Is it the bodywork? Although the bodywork has been a high degree. Wow.
So you work it out man hours? Yeah. Definitely. Get it out of his pocket.
What's the, what's the, the pedal being in this range dramatically that lasts for a year, four years. What are the big changes? Stop. Stop getting it.
Can't get access. Well, I mean if you can't, are they qualified? Can they do the job properly? I don't know.
I think they qualify once they do the job properly. It's a more difficult to repair a car now. I'll tell you what I've been finding a lot. Like electronic problems.
Right. Electronic problems like reset and stuff or finding out what the problem is. The thing is I've got computers too and scantles. But we're getting locked out by all these companies too now.
But it's not like they're owned, scantles. You're not coming for the back door. If you're not a legislation, aren't they meant to allow you to have access to these guys? Don't it?
Like service departments and things like that? Like how do I put a lot of opportunity to that to it? But I don't know. Honestly.
Yeah, but it's a problem. They can't go into it all the way. Right. Yeah.
OK. This is the way I put you in. I put this way. And I'll say, Mercedes, right?
I just had a problem. They had picked up the problems. Yeah. But they're computers.
Obviously, I thought they're computers would be able to go into it. Now, the password, I get into it. And say that XYZ is damaged. You need to change that.
The modules. Like they guess too. I'll tell you that. Frickin' me.
Really, eh? Because they start telling me this needs to be changed. This needs to be changed. Fuckin' bullshit.
You know what I mean? Oh, no. You know what I mean? They didn't have to be changed.
Oh, sorry. The re-restrots. They got a gas trunks at the hinge. You'd have to run out of someone that jumps on that corner.
Yeah. And Ben going off. Mate, no, I neither have it. I said they're just trying to find a way to get the silly part.
And I said, no. They just had to go with the door. I said, no, I'm not too. They took this short sale list and we need this and this.
And they changed him. I was just coming to the gate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you just get, oh, no, hang on.
I happened for an arms on that particular job. Wow. Yeah. So what about the customer world?
You know, I visited the customer. If they can't ask the math computers and all that, remember that. Well, I must say, mate, Eli's knows all about the computer. But the computer is going back to the wiring people, actually, because they made a bird's nest behind the dash.
Right. Right. The wiring looms have to be. Yeah, they've got to be right.
But the thing is, I think what the computer must think when the air comp goes off, it lifts the revs up. It's like, it's just little things start blowing my mind. The computer's after math ones are doing everything. Right.
They can drop in for a while. And you buy it in the whole kit in the lume, the computer holds treatment. I wish we bought a lume. Yeah, right.
It's like a bird. Yeah. We're on the off-dour. We're setting it back.
We're setting it tomorrow. We're on the off-dour. But I noticed that they custom showed the race course, which was pretty amazing. So it's pretty amazing tech and creativity around.
I think it's hard for not to level up. So is it like a sebum of this tool? Yeah, there's two. There's English wheels, there's paint shops, run good women's different bush.
So they're showing off their skill sets on being able to customize a carne. Any level you want. Any level you want. Right.
They have the cars that go on to finish. Oh. It literally could build a brand new carne. You know what?
Yes. The guy who wins it isn't always the best car. It's because he's done all the things. He's got to do a dancing.
You've got to be. You just start showing your carne. Right, OK. Well, there's separate trophies for that.
But they all happen when they ask the car out. It's like a gym carne. OK. I wanted to enter that.
I want to enter that. I know the Monday. I see. But you know, it was a well attended show.
$35 to get in for an old person. You know, great food there and all that. But it was well attended. A lot of people.
On the morning of that, on Sunday, it was the Volkswagen Nationals. And that's the Shaddicket. Hippies with money. Is that the old Combeys?
Old Combeys, old Beatles, Carmen Geers. There's two versions. And there's the Ekeld. The oldest car there was 1949.
It was similar to the American Shaddick. The Lufte. The Lufte. The Lufte.
The Lufte. The Lufte. The Lufte. The Lufte.
The Lufte. The Lufte. The Lufte. The Lufte.
The Lufte. The Lufte. The Lufte. The Lufte.
The Lufte. There's more Porsche. They've done a water-cool version too. Yeah, they really are.
Yeah, right. I'm the best carmogear of the day. What's the matter of time? No, no, Tom.
What? It was anyone there? I have a car with you, but I have a T34 car with you. You know the two, though.
Yeah, the Razor. You're the rugby, but the beautiful rugby. They're fighting. That's what that is.
It's an acquired taste. It's my baby, I don't care how I'm eating it. Speaking of car news and Volkswagen news, they've announced the new Golf R 20th anniversary edition. Right.
So basically it's $70,490 plus on-road costs. $77,000 for Golf R. I'll get an A250. There's only 50 of them coming to Australia.
The rest of the world sold out. And basically they come to the end with the crop of itch. A cup of itch exhaust. Yes.
Which is amazing. It's a bit of a sauce. OK. Basically it's got a standard panoramic rear, farm and card and stereo.
They've got an extra 10 to 45 joules. It's a lot of kilowatts. It's a lot of kilowatts. And 420 Newton talks, which are an extra 20.
But they're $104.5 seconds. I'll be quick in that. But they always, they unplay. The journalists downplay.
Yeah, they do. Since the diesel gate, they're downplay. They're few years. Why do you have to bring it?
Because they tune the numbers to make the pollution. Oh, yeah. They've got caught for you. They've been working services.
