Straighten it straighten it. It's ready to do it. Good morning. Good afternoon.
Good evening. You listening to the all talk car podcast hosted by Peter And listen, I'm sorry tonight. I'm with a little mous-fah Man, it's been a while since it's the two of us. We're doing a it's a special live drive tonight This is a topic behind it.
So we're we're driving so the studio tonight is a vox where can be all It's the designation of this model. He's called a one L. It's not a one-liter. I've driven a lot of cars, but I've never driven a big one.
It's a panel I've never driven an old beetle. It's okay. So this is I've never driven a new beetle This is well, there's not the new beetle the new beetle was adding to 2000. This is the last people So this is the the updated one.
So it's got it's a 2013 mate and it's it's my daughter's car. So basically She had the next car B for beetle B for beetle the non-plants got Billy on it and it's it's a sky-blue color that matched her jumper When we surprised it surprised her with her. It's like a kindergarten I think Billy's got it. Oh, and it's a beautiful car.
They've got a 1.4 liter turbocharged supercharged engine. It's the TSI The TSI engine we should drop this off to the workshop for a few We'll put a more boost. I can't hear the supercharger. I'll just say you might want to what I can fix that And we're gonna take it down Mexico at our usual destination.
So we'll see how we go, but basically I was thinking you know what what's a good first car or what's a good car that a parent could buy their kids? There's a lot of parents They just buy them a brand new be my brand new, you know Like good luck to you if you've got the money and you jump straight into a brand new car But let's go back in time. What was your first car like was it self-port or Did you just win a lot of buying you had to take mum and dad? I did my money and mum and dad signed for some finance for me.
Yeah 18 at the time My first car was a Toyota Corona guitar Corona S.R. The S.R. was super responsive That was a 2.4 fueling-jig-ed one whoa and it was That was 1991 1991 and it was 86. I was only 5-year-old car, but it was manual.
Okay front will drive He was there great, right? So I bought the car from was Ferguson's at the curseville. Yep the Toyota D I just outside the main strip there Yep, right so I bought the car and our neighbor at the time was a Toyota deal He worked it for Ferguson's I think working finance. So he did the deal and I want to pick up the car.
It's a manual The best way to learn is the rental car. Okay, so I went to drive manual on the way home Yeah, my two my two I used to pass right you knew what to do though Yeah, you know the concept is a lot of hills. What a hills. I learned to drive manual on the way home and I never look back I was like that with the tire, but my first car was a Hammy down or was this is mum's car You've got it, but you got to do the duties and drive the kids to school etc Was a Ford Fermont XF clear 986 a square the last of those square Falcons with a digital dash of that's why everyone loves everyone knows I love digital dashes with a son roof where the if you open it the waterproof Liney would fall through because it's worn out, but make that with dangerous cars This was a 4.1 liter six-cylinder cars weren't that heavy back then there wasn't any safety protection no ABS no bags No, nothing you had enough power you could do burnouts at every corner and these kids these things didn't stop either No, I better I got sick of the corona because I bought that to appease my parents because I wanted a X-Haul at 12 vk 5 like a So what happened was 12 months down the line I've been real estate made a bit of money, right?
Okay I don't know much of the corona because I put all my money into it because I want to pay it off quickly, right? So what did I do? I don't know you're doing the story, but I got rid of the corona. I didn't tell my parents shit.
Right? I got rid of the corona. No, you're a man. I'm a worker man.
I went for the fuel turbine. Of course. I jumped the vk v8 because what's this what's this? Carburator shit turbo fuel injection baby.
How old were you 19? How'd you insurance? Oh, well, you didn't know I put it in my dad's name. Oh, that's right.
Everyone else. Well, that's okay So there's a topic so fast forward to this generation of cars I bought a 10 year old beetle for my daughter She loves it. She's about to get a piece and compare that to now the corona and the femon this thing has got airbags This thing's got ABS. It's probably got trash and electronic enough power to I modified so replace the Volkswagen stereo with another Volkswagen stereo that's got car play It's got reverse camera that the little badge flips.
That's all plug and play so we put in an updated stereo Now it goes the other way. It's the reverse so the little's playing with the DSG box and it's got It's the reverse so you forward to go up. It's not ergonomically very portion of them. Yeah, well the push me pull you buttons, but my lovely spindle It's like oh and the funny thing is her mother had a beetle 67 beetle as her first car So it's sort of almost like a family tradition, but not this is based on a golf mark six platform So it's really all good.
It's really golf ball in the mark six was a beautiful platform And it's not the push people you knew beetle from the year 2000. This is got the lowered roof The wind spins a bit closer. It's a bit mean. It's almost like a little baby boy Yeah, it's it's it's a little room in it and it's got plenty room in the hatch You can fit for people to see they can fit for people come from it's a group and you know what even though it's nice It's smooth even though it's a it's a 1.4.
It does get up a guy. It's always it. Yeah, that's through the car play So we've settled that up. So I mean, it's pretty good for a what is it a 30?
It's a 30, but that's an aftermarket Oh, I got another Volkswagen stereo, but there's nothing to add to it in order to make it easy for them But it's good that you could do that. Yeah, because there's a lot of cars We can't do that and these days the younger generation especially they as much as they don't want Well, you're on your pay-fights. You can't have your phone on anyway. Yeah, we check the rules Roscoe looked at it for me So on your piece the phone has to be Connected by a cord.
Yes for car play you can't have it while yeah or wireless. Yeah or wireless It's going to be connected in your south. Well, so I don't know what that's good. That's how it should be anyway.
Yeah, so it's You know, I think we did well, you know, it's sixteen half thousand dollars, but we were on with seventy thousand clicks in a ten-year-old car Yeah, I just I'm going to see a bachelor's a special. I mean that's So going on to insurance now, what do you do? So if you've got a child that's on its own Well, I think if you're whether or not you'd buy the car or they'd buy the cup. Well, okay.
Okay. Here's a clincher Right insurance company so I was there because they were known with the financial owners Well, no, no, I've gone through this process So at the moment if you're gonna child on their else your insurance covers them You don't have to nominate a driver or say anyone because you're still in the seat your guiding them navigating your giving directions So under else and they can drive any car they could drive my Tesla they can drive any car under else you can give my Porsche 911 And they could drive on deals the minute they get these it's power away ratio No, you're not they're not my daughter's not allowed to drive the Tesla. So the minute they get their piece now This is where the insurance you got to shop around but it's not easy for under 25 year olds at the moment So I either nominate her as a driver, which means my premium doubles triple. Okay.
Yeah, so you're either gonna pay five six grand four grand a year But then she builds a name-clay bonus or you shop around with different insurance companies So I have the insurance in the regé mine aim Yeah, but there's an excess of a thousand dollars extra if someone under 23 or 25 makes a claim so she's covered to drive this car But if she's at at fault and makes a claim I have to pay the excess and the thing is she doesn't get the benefit of building her No, so if you're in a catch to you to pay a front now, what do you do it later on? So but back in how you've been noted on the policy you build no claim, but you're paying for it well. Yeah double to triple But if she puts it in her name, you're still paying for it. Yeah, she's a smash It's a it's a it's a it's a it's a I mean I'll pay for the pay for someone's the cheaper option and she can Deal with it.
What's going on? What's going on? Oh, is it the fee for what come? Okay, so we're down in Mexico.
We'll stay I forgot gates and everything Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, pay no entry That's the insurance we're packing our day. So we're with an RMA up all our parents were you could nominate So this isn't the early 90s. You could nominate your child as a nominated driver and it would make no difference in the policy And we got to build up our no claim Thanks to my dad and then when I got my first car the Mitar which you've even said stories about on this podcast My insurance was pretty good because I already had my no claim built up. So it's tough for young kids to get into cars But the options are a lot better.
I'd rather one of my children getting to the car like a ten-year-old cars got all the Selfie features. Yeah, you know something from the light Thousands that's got airbags and ABS and stuff so compared to what was out there. Yeah, exactly back in the day So that's a drive you like it. I like it.
Oh, this is a great day. Yeah, yeah, it's a beautiful little card Harley drinks in a few. It's a small tank. I filled it up and only took 70 bucks like a 40-litre tank Yeah, it's a the steam was a bit big.
That's not a ghost doing What is it? You reckon that's a special people's doing these are people steering wheelers. I don't know the GTI I reckon I reckon doing your steering wheel would go on probably on some clock ring and everything. Yeah, I know but I mean Yeah, I know but I mean, yeah, I know we've done enough market around putting new set of tiles on there Like I said, there's heaps of room the dash is your simple.
I like it. It's a 10 you can tell it's a early 2002 10 he's naughty's what we want to eat Ends Volkswagen's got that thick white font with the dot matrix Nice and clear everything's clear on the dash everything's clear that the multimedia is good with the upgrade There was a model above this called the fender edition. There was a limited edition They brought 200 out to Australia fender is like the guitar and company. So this dash is it's got a color code It's a matches the exterior color.
So you can see the sky blue the fenders got that brownie black Yeah, that like the electric guitar looking and it had like a couple of dolls on the top like the top The dolls on the top So I had a few dolls in the middle of the dash and it also had a fender stereo with an ant But it's still had the same one point for leader with these in America came in the big blocks. It's a really cool That's a nice car cool. It's cool. You know, we look at it We've looked at it I see camera Works Family so trying to do everything new lately.
I've been driving other people's cars at the drags Go to the dress I found out how to go racing and not pay for anything. I did like someone's car at the drags Wasn't my fault. All right, so it's fault was it? Oh, okay, so it's a ticket to a truck a tail sounds in it.
Yes, it happened but yes, one of the one of the house of LS cars Yes, we get another nine thirty eight just five hundred top my time, but still very Yeah, it's super fast for a car that is that a genius are as well. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Series one. Yes. Okay But that is very fast for a white car. That's got a hundred thousand Ks on it gets driven everywhere.
Was it a sticky track? That was not a Wednesday night. How sticky but wasn't there a sticky day? Well, that was where I broke the title shaft on the sticky track On the sticky track.
Did you lose a shoe? Huh? I did lose a shoe. There was a photo of it The I actually went to get out the car and go don't get out.
Go white. Let's look down like if you bring to a drag strip Like do they lay anything on there? Because it is sticky. So when's they know it's out your street cars, right?
So Wednesday nights, it's really not sticky because I was people go with their front wheel drive cars or just their daily drive No, I'll just break something. Okay. Like Wendy. No the super sticky days.
You will literally lose a shoe like you'll step on the track and so I Look today's spread is it just sprayed on. Okay. Yeah, it's right And obviously need traction to take off. Yes, you can't yeah, which it works but what happened more than that traction So it was it was actually really good, but look the the tail shaft props off whatever they want to call it It is designed as a weak thing.
It's better to break that the break it. He walks you still need to do the burnout I do not want to do the burnout. Just need to warm the burnout warms the tires that create more grip basically So but if they're a sticky so we run a straight drag drag radius, which is straight legal, right? But the compound they're made of basically when you do a burnout it activates the rubber itself to make it sticky So if you see someone at the drag is doing a burnout so no Wednesday night and I've got straight cars pearly's whatever even even like High performance straight ties you're wasting your time.
Okay. They're not gonna stick anyway If anything you've now made them less sticky because they become The tread blocks they'll become like That's a word for it. It's better word for it. I can't hear you.
So basically you're not doing something. I'm doing a big burnout We're breaking a normal straight straight tire. Okay, but so That's been good So which do you still need to warm the tire up on the stick? Yes?
Yeah, yeah, so even though it's sticky for traction you still have the tires to Small burnout, but you don't need to do a big one. Yeah, it helps activate that tire the compound in it Yeah, it comes real grippy. So we found out the hard way that it was real grippy and because it's grippy that means it's a lot more Yes, four so what you can do when it's real grippy and this is where the science comes into it You can run a little bit more air pressure sometimes in your tires. Yeah, right because now you've got a sneaky a track You can run a few bit more air pressure if you're running a bit more air pressure.
You got less drag So It's good fun. Good fun I have been a good car Or a daily car daily As you know me and George are always Okay, a car's where we're in the bathroom Not together! Hey, if you think we're gay in this car looking for cars together in the car Sorry, we always should we always send this to the station about cars. Yeah, but and I was thinking because I really like my W-12-6 class I'm like 6-15.
Yeah, I was actually really glad when I bought the wife and say 300 which means because I taxed her car So I'm driving that. So but I thought you know what I actually like my hands, right? So I've been looking for a W-24 wagon Ooh, I found a peter on a stick. What's up?
What's up? Red stick? No, I fucking did the car! When I got the A45 that was a delete option.
I said I don't want the red seat belts and when the car came And then you bought the CLS? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, but when the A45 came I looked at Mark the dealer and I said Where the red seat belts? And he gave me his face just dropped like you told me and I was just not laughing and then yeah We get the CLS. I didn't even fucking notice the seat belts because my mind wasn't going like it's a beautiful CLS It's a cruiser and I jump in it and fucking got red seat belts and look here fucked.
Hender onus pack. So you found a wagon with- Wagon? You see 250? Yeah, petrol?
Yeah, right. Not many Ks to own a car. What? It's got the- I've got a guard who has a sports kit.
So I've a stand roof. Right? And it's got red signals. Did the wagons do the estates come loaded?
Did they come in one? That was a- this is a loaded car. Because the sedans had different options. Well, the sedans, okay, so they're back.
No, they were all the same. Okay, same options. The only thing you couldn't get with the- This thing. Was um- Yeah, you found a pack of a powder roof.
Right? That didn't happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But- So they got the rectangular sunroof?
Yeah, they've just got the single sunroof. Which I'm not fussed about. But basically the vision pack came with the sunroof. So these things got vision, AMG lights, or pay everything.
It was 25, 24,000. I was just saying it's on the price sun. Yeah. And they dropped it to 20.
They can't sell any place or anything. Are they? Fuck, that's not bad. Okay.
What colour? White. White AMG light wheels, black interior, red, safe belt. Yeah, sign right it.
George is keener than me. That's a daily. I think so. And you get- you'll sell the 250 for more.
Well, I've got someone- Yeah, you'll sell someone like- You're catching in. No, I cost me $5,000. My 250's got a 160,000. Okay.
Well- You know what I'm doing? You know what I'm doing? I'm doing 35 when I took it off the business. I just made it.
That's right. Speaking of caves, if you notice with the app on the New South Wales Government app, retail app, they've amended it. I don't know what it's like in other states and- in the part of the world- I've had it. Yeah.
It's got the last three years of dollar reading. Yes. And my brother sold a E-Class diesel with a lot of kilometres, 200,000. I thought there was a lot of people getting caught out.
And the same car is for sale. I don't know, you either put on one 900,000 and it swung back around to 100. I don't know how much time he would add to drive 900,000 kilometres in less than three miles. Or he put in reverse.
And- Hey, man. We did the number plate check. That shows he had 200, 200, 100. Yeah.
So- And you can't just change number plates because it goes off the pin. No, it goes off your pin. Yeah, it's right. So it goes off your pin.
No, you're not the best thing is. So my drinking is- So if it goes off the pink slip, how do the first three years go? No, no, no, you don't need a pink slip the first five years. So how do they know what the odometer reading is?
Right. So if it goes- Because once the car gets the four like years- Then- Right. So my GDSR- Yeah. Right?
I bought it in December 17. Yeah, so I'm always talking about- Change- Change- Okay. Because I'm looking at it. Yes.
Do you want to get on the front of the rock? Yes. Let's go. Okay.
Okay. Get a coffee. Yeah. So- So let's wrap it up.
So what happened was- My first pink slip was last year. Yep. Right. December 22, 5th anniversary of registration.
Okay. So that's the first pink slip on record. So if we go on to service new stuff- Now- It'll show that's the first set of numbers. It's like 2022, right?
So that's the first set of numbers. So it doesn't really help you then with the first couple of years of your buying your car. Unless you obviously have a car under new car, won't you? Right.
And you've been getting at service. Yeah, of course. Then that's a different store. Yeah.
And if you're buying anything else- The odometer is switching is a lot to do with older cars anyway. Well, they do a car too because really you've got a five-year-old car or a six-year-old car and you've been doing 25,000 a year with it, which is reasonable. You've got 125,000 a day. So you're supposed to.
The difference between selling that with 75 and 25 is- Yeah, yeah. That's up. Not just the money that ease of the sale. Right.
That's up. So, my genius, huh? First pink slip, 5,200. I was- And again, this is doing all this brand new.
But the other thing is because if you- George will show you the odometer reading on the 997, the turbo S. The middle number went up 100 and then came back 100 because the mechanic typed in the wrong- Oh. Yeah. So I don't know if my brother doesn't know whether to ring the RMS to rectify it.
Because it went up the back down. But he put an extra number in by mistake. Yeah, there's been some cars that says 3 million cars. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there is some typos which are explainable. So, yeah. Yeah. There you go.
So, yes, that's another little little little device when you're buying sick and then cars. For your kids, you can check the domino reading on the new stuff. Well, I'm looking for another daily. Well, not a mistake.
Maybe. I don't know. I just want something with lower case. Not a fucking trial isn't you?
Because my car's getting to 160,000. You wouldn't think my car would get 160,000. I know, but- I'll look after him, but- It's time to go. But now I'm doing 30,000 KZ.
So I want to buy something with maybe 50, 60 on it and get it to three years. Get the estate. And I don't want to spend 25, 30, 50,000. You're not going to lose it.
Even the 20 grand yourself, 15,000. Yeah, I'm going to. Because if you bought a 60,000 car, you're going to drop 20. Yeah, I'm going to chuck shit in the back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do it. All right. Well, there you have it.
Another live drive by with a moral- What car to buy for your kids? What car to buy? And- We usually- And consumer tips with the domino readings. We do jinx ourselves when we make predictions of what we're going to drive.
No, no, no. I spoke to Nikko. So one of our listeners reached out to us and he picked up his brand spanko corollary. I gave him a thought that I said- Oh, he flossed so so far as he goes.
No, no, no. I'm really busy. He's really busy. But even on the weekend or next week, he's literally got 58 kilometers on it.
So what we're going to do is, what we're going to do is, we're going to go to- No, we're going to go to Mexico. Right? We will take it this week. We will go to- We will go to- Nikko trust us.
He said- No, we need to go somewhere so we can have fun with that. So, fuck Mexico. We're going to go to the- We're going to go further south to the fucking Falkland Islands where that one's there. Well, some- Too-bastion, I do that with the Thrun Rock Center.
So, and we've got the Masaradi coming up, so that's organized for next week as well. And Ross- It's still like made up with us with his XM. The guy is obsessed. Because he scratched the screen.
He's going to be crying but he won't get out of the car. He sleeps in there. You know what? How the fuck do you scratch a rim on a car that fucking nearly drives it to him?
Oh, no. What did you try and drive before? No, no, no. What he does?
He gets hit. But he sleeps in the car. The backseat apparently it's got the luxury seat. He sleeps in it?
He's going to be into the XM. Maybe get it washed because it might smell like someone's been living in there. So, right-ass reviewers, thank you for listening. Send us your questions.
The Roving Report. I want your questions at alltalkoutoutlook.com.au. Is there anything else we'd say? I'm also doing a road trip to Melbourne, but it's not enough time to do any of you.
So, we're going to do another Melbourne trip. I might be doing a road trip to Melbourne. On the way back. One of my mates is looking at the car.
Oh, okay. Day-trick. Down back. Okay.
And let me just drive back two cars. One car. So, you're going to go down fly. So, you're going to have to buy it.
Yeah. Okay. What car is it? I like to actually put it down on your own.
But I've also got a Europentry lined up. And I've reached out to our friends, Spiroz. And I've got to turn up with a hyper car. So, I've sent him another email saying, I'm back in the country.
We're number three ranking Automate Podcasting Greece. Thank you to all our Greek listeners. They're making us number three. And I wrote that in there and said, mate, I'm in town.
I'm happy to have a chat. All the ones he's listening while they're in. They're also listening. So, it's funny.

Panama, for some reason, is up on the list too. So, and there's somebody in the Faro Islands. I reckon his computer is, you know, how you can do the VPN. Yeah, I reckon he's got it.
He's got it. I think that's what it is. It's tax haven. So, we know that you're all listening from around the world.
And thank you for all that. And, um... Well, if it's the next one, why for now? I've got the windows to get down to be with you.
