TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

What do we do? I brought a toy for a century back up. What, what, what? She's after a new car.

What car? She wants to get him a CD? Have a CD for a big class. No, no, no.

So what you saw the other day and you liked? What, you laughing at me? No, because I said B class. I said B class for it.

No, she actually said an A 200 she saw. A 200 she saw. A 100 she saw. No, I don't like the Hachel.

The Snedad's in my house. Oh, you want a Snedain? I don't like the Hachel. I just don't like it.

I just don't like it. I don't like it. I just don't like it. I just don't like that Hachel.

It looks like every other car. Oh, no, no. Why? She wants the old...

Look, she's old. Yes, I hear it. That's what I... It's still a month younger than you.

I have this thing. It is. It is. You're body gaffed.

You're listening to the old talk. Hot caff. Hot caff. I just got slammed by.

We're at Tom's old night body and I think he's going to lose his staff. He's going to have no money. So far we lost out. I'll just speak up.

I can't get to walk down. He's on the microphone. I'm going to shove him about to be like, he's sleeping. I see it.

He's just got slammed up. He's got a whispering. He's got a whispering. We're talking about you, Sam.

He's got a whispering. Okay, I even knew about the cars I wanted to see. No, no, no. The microphone comes out.

His son will be jealous because he's on the end. No, no. He's on the phone. He needs to know.

But people do that. Sometimes that's why they record a star we had to bear it up. Because people freak out. They say the microphone.

They get all nervous. He did. No, no. His hands got clamped.

He was stuck out. I think he's got a door to pick. Anyway. He went through our thousand-one cars and he must drive.

They're a hear people, we're up to the 21st century, up to your 1000. Your II thousand cars. I'm going to tell you what cars are in the thousand one. I'm going to go through them and have a laugh.

I have a giggle like we did with the 80. The 21st century started. They've got the ML 55. The Mercedes, the full drive AMG.

It's now GLE, you've got the ML 55. They've got the BMW Z8. That was the American European that had came to Australia. They never sold and now they become real collectors items.

They're not the ones with no soup and love it, but not. No, no, so we can get those in Australia. Well, they're in foot with the long front. Yeah, they're eight.

It was small. Oh, yeah, yeah. And then this has been BMW on a high, the E46. I'd love them, isn't it?

My brother had two of those. My boss had two of those. That was the car driver, I'm not waiting because he lost the bet, my boss. I never had a thing for BMW.

You didn't like that one? I don't like that one. That was peak BMW. I think they really put the M3 on the map with that one.

Then we got the Subaru Coupe, the WRX in present. And he's, he's signed the sport of Subaru 2000. Oh, man. See, you should have liked it.

It's because of the size of the mic. It's a bit of a good scale to be white, do that. And then in the early 2000s, the X5 came out, the first one, to take on the M3. So Mercedes brought out the ML.

And it was on Jurassic Park. Remember they had the, yeah, the first Jurassic Park, the CDs won the contract and had MLs as the cars that the Donasil's ate. You know what's funny? You get the movies that ride it like Iron Man is Audi's.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the X5, the first X5, it was basically, it was a better car at a time. And they, they're 25 years old now.

Then Lotus brought out the Elise and the Xige. They all came out. So they all fairly knew the 90s they brought out the Elise. Yeah.

Then the Xige was the hard top race version. Yeah, not tracking all those. Yeah, so that's when they sort of first got, they're still the same shape, they're still coming out. And then they did a voxel twin.

Say in Europe, you had the voxel VX220, which was a Lotus underneath. And voxel sold it at a cheaper rate for a couple years. Yeah, it was in Formula One for a while, weren't they? Yeah, in the 80s big time.

And then James Bond came out and they had the Aston Martin Vanquish. And then they went up to the 21st century. Yeah, but didn't Bond have a... The Lotus went up to the Lotus.

Yeah, yeah. The story behind that, it was the Lotus... Land? No.

It's a spray. Yes, that's right. So it was that? Early 70s.

Yes, what they did is they released it and parked it outside the studios of James Bond. Really? It was a prototype, one off, no one's ever said it before. And they got out of the producers.

They got out of James Bond and said, what car is that? We want it. And that's the underwater car. I guess we bought that auction a couple years ago.

Elon Musk. Oh, really? He paid big bucks for this fucking movie prop. So that's how that car came about.

Then you had the Renault Clio V6. Did you get the Tuio Renault sport? The Clio V6 never came to Australia. It was a V6 mid-mounted engine.

Like, you're freaking ugly. Yeah. Yeah, I remember I've seen them. Yeah, I've seen them all the way.

I've not had that there. Celine. That's an American sports car company. And you had the Jim Carrey movie where he was God.

He was driving a Celine. So I know whether that was Ford placement. Then you had the Morgan, ROA English. But they got a BMW engine in that.

And then Ford tried bringing back the Thunderbird in America. Early 2000, I went travel the last episode and we looked at this. You had the new Beetle. You know, I want a Thunderbird.

Because if there was a God in heaven, he drove the Silver Thunderbird. The old one? The new one? The old one.

Yeah, the old one. The old one. The old one. The new one.

No, I don't want it. But that was when everyone was going retro. They did the Beetle. They did the Mini around 2000.

It all car makers were bringing up all these retro cars. And then you got the Lamborghini Musilago before the Averador. That was a piece of the car. And the Spycar.

C8. That's a Dutch company. Never. And they got Audi V8s, the R8 engine in there.

So they didn't sell many. And now they're going up in value. And then you had the Audi RS6, the Wagons. You had a few Volvo brought out their wagon, the XC90.

So actually V8s were starting to come on board now. Everyone loves it. Fucking issue V8s. And then the Ferrari Enzo.

That was a nice car. Ah, I think I've seen one in Australia. I think you can register one in Australia. Then you can't register for goodies.

That's why I saw that one at night. Mate Bach got out. Remember the S-Class version? That was a bit of a flop.

That was like 700,000 in Australia back then. And then you had the Chris Bangor Lira 7 Series. The 7 Series with the taxi boot. You know all these cars are saying?

Yeah. I don't even know. You never fixed that issue boxes? That 7 Series had that big butt.

No, not really. So you remember all the old cars? It's a sign of a miniature. You know when you were a kid, you never bought your DDS.

Yeah, because I wasn't interested in the cars that I didn't like. Plus you'll probably fix them in the old ship boxes. The smart? Yeah, I've seen the car then.

It was pretty funny. The 21st century car design lost it. Then you had the 350Z coming up. Yeah.

The Z car. You look at this now. These are 20 year old cars and they look pretty shit. They are shit.

The Z4? Yeah. I fucking hated that. The only thing I liked about the Z4 is the badge.

It's Blicker. Oh, for people with small penises. Is that why we never had one? Yeah.

Yeah. That's not kind of Lexus' consistency now. Looks a bit like a Big Addy, but it's not. Yeah, Ford Street car.

Yeah, I'm looking at an upside down, so. The fuck's that? Then you got the Viper. That was a V10 engine.

You know, while you made out of fucking recycled Coca-Cola bottles. Then America had like an S-C-U. Yeah, I did mind it. The Chevrolet is bizarre.

They're a bit weird. The fuck's here? So the heaps of shake. Don't know what that one is.

The 50-we-eat cars are... They had to cope in. They were had a couple there. There's like a little loud.

Yeah, I'm kind of... I'm bringing them here for a while in 40 minutes. And the Smart Roadster. No, the piece of shit.

The 600-CC engine in it. Three-cylinder. Then the Hummer. So after the Golf War, I wanted the Hummer H2.

And they were... Have you been? Yeah. How wide are they?

You can't reach the guy next to you. You can hit the head on the roof. The H2 is massive. I think you had the C-A-C-L version of the M3 that you don't like.

I've driven one. There's only 25 in Australia. Carbon ceramic brakes. They squeal away.

Fucking... Oh, Mazda, RX-8. The RX-8? So I think they're racing this way.

Oh, sure. No, I feel it full of bond. No, no, I feel it bond next week is... This is production.

Oh, you reckon today, this weekend? No, I'm not sure. Always in a couple weeks. You know, next week we've got Phillip Islander production series for Zach driving.

Yeah. The Rolls-Royce Phantom came out in the beginning of the 2000. And that was really... As a complete reinstaller.

And it's still the same shape today. The Phantom is still going. I've always wondered why they were umbrellas. In the door, eh?

I've always wondered why. Yeah, what's that? Scoda. Really?

Yeah. It's a good idea when you think about that. Yeah, yeah, but it doesn't rot. There's something in the Rolls-Roy store when you put it back in, because it's wet.

It doesn't rot. Some of them have a dryer or something. And the other thing with this Rolls-Royce came out was like the Batman door. Badger's device.

Have you worked on every single one of those bags? Yeah. How does it work? It's a weight.

Weight's the one of them. It's what big can I weigh, yeah. Then that SLR McLaren Mercedes. They're used to paying those, but...

No, they work now. They can't help you value these things. No, they work. No, they work.

No, they wasn't that many made. Why do you have any of those with me? I like them, but apparently they were... They had the Galway doors.

Well, I didn't go because I was too much to buy. Yeah, I like every million dollars. They call it a true supercar. It was a collaboration between the Clarendon and Mercedes.

It's a supercharged V8 aluminium engine. Five speed gearbox, but that was what was happening with the automates back in the day. It doesn't say how many? No, no, no.

Produced several special versions, still in once. Discontinued 2009. No, I don't say many numbers were made. It ruined the middle of the day.

It was a K-made 2003. But apparently if you hit a front end, it's worth it. But you can imagine how many of them in everyone's collection. People with money, money.

I've got all those in their collection. I've never seen one of them. They're a car. They're a rare car.

My favourite car ever. Carrera GT Porsche. It's the V10 with the wooden hand. The logistics made out of wood.

It gets finished. So that's an amazing car. My favourite Porsche is worth, because it's worth, because it's worth, because it's worth, the KN also came out around that time. So Porsche put their foot forward with the KN.

Crys of crossfire, those pieces of shit. Everyone went crazy for a while. For a while? They're built on the Mercedes SOK platform.

Everyone went, they look like a boat. Those are really quite purportedly. They wanted to break down weight and to have it. I was saying that's a Ferrari for you.

That was the only thing you ever want to know about? It's because I've been used again. It's because I've been used again. It's a Ferrari for you.

I'm Ferrari. I'm Ferrari now. They're all together apart for you. So that's how they got those engines.

They are. Aston Martin. They're a peak Aston Martin in the early 2000s with their design. This and Tydin's a big American new.

What else have we got? Howdy. Beforey. That was the Australian car that went to Malaysia.

The Koori brothers, I think, made that in Sydney, then moved out to Australia. One of my favourite Ferraris. The 612 Skagli Eddy. It was the model after it.

It was the big 4-Door. 4-Cedar. Of the V12. It's called the Skagli Eddy.

I had the thing for the 4-Cedar. 4-Cedar. 4-Cedar. They're not cheap, but they're not expensive for Ferrari.

I've always looked at them. That's a freaking noble. It's a south African designer. He used the twin-turbo-mondeo engine.

The top key. G55. Top key. Yeah, top key right down about it.

G class was the top key. I think it was the top key. I think it was the top key. I think it was the top key.

I think it was the top key. I think it was the top key. The first aim. G55.

Do you think it was the 30-50? Oh, no, they're still fucking 30-50 grand for them. I don't get the G class. I don't know.

I want to spend 10 grand changing breaks. I don't get it. Then you got the Cayman and Cayman, and Boxner with a roof. I'm driven a Box, I'm driven a Cayman.

I'd love to get behind one. And there we go. You got the Veyron came out in the early 2000s, the 16 cylinder. That came out.

No one could stop talking about that car. Every magazine I wanted to drive it. And you've got to throw them. Hey, hey, there's a lot.

Not a lot, but I still have a Cayman thing. You like the Collect True? Ever. I still rather have a kindy seat.

You like the kindy seat, do you think? I've got a thing for him. No, that's probably in here somewhere. Then you've got Corvette C6 and I'm walking, oh really, these?

1,001 cars you must drive? They're pretty... We sent that last time in this car. They just threw it through them in there.

Probably my favourite Ferrari. Our second Ferrari is a 575 Super America. So that had the roof, that flips back. It's a glass roof.

It doesn't go in, it just flips. Plenty of solstice. It's like a General Motors MX-5. Oh, frickin' ugly car, right?

And then the Maserati M-C12 came out. Collect the car. That's the same car as a Ferrari Enzo, but the Maserati did their own body. They didn't have anything on the road.

They didn't know what they are. They were the 5 Series Alpina beamers. Alpina BMWs. What, man?

They were for fortune, eh? We had a full drive here. They're not cheap. Right, enough for, say 200.

We took it to get a wash before we delivered it. We got the car washes spinning out saying, you know what these are worth? Yeah, about 200. 800.

800. No, not that much. I mean, they're worth big bucks. They're worth big bucks, they're cancels, straight up.

They got those distinct mags. And to keep buying anything for them, you know what you've got to go? It's a little bespoke part. And I've got a lot of them.

And I've got a lot of them for me to make. They hassle all of them through to get them. And it took about two months to get them. So they got bespoke parts in there.

I know they're superb. A lot of the diesel power plants. Yeah, you've seen the changes. They're...

The Ferrari 430 came out around this time. A lot of the Lancer, the Evos. And then this is where Range Rover got on the act. And they made the Range Rover Sport.

Is that one of your favourite pictures of shit? Yeah. They're on these cars. They're shit car-ed drive.

Oh, just a mess. You're not wondering with them. You're not wondering how they end up having the full glass roof and all that on them. Yeah.

Of course, I've shown America that... I remember that building them on for a chic, right? And they put a full glass roof on it. They drive it.

Yeah, back then. What do you think done that before a chic? I don't know. But the chic's in the desert.

What about a glass roof in the desert? Ten? Ten? That's a cool thing.

I'm thinking I remember them anyway. Remember, these things are still building the crowds are 300c. Right there, big car. Couples have still got them.

Yeah, they don't like them. They keep breaking down. They sound good. But that was based on the E-class note.

They are big car. But small inside. They're not very big inside. And then you've got the six series.

Big car. But also we've got the Mini John Cooper Works, they're all getting popular. So they're... What's that?

I'm thinking to Paris. Another spiker at Dutch Company. And then Audi was getting in with the RS4, the V8 wagons. That was when ines your...

That's an aero. That's an aero. It's not a kerning ZL. What else have you got?

Mosla. Those are all you've got? You've got one off. So all these super cars are coming out in the 2000s.

Yeah, but I'm crazy then. Can I have these keys, they still build these pieces of shit? I don't know. Do you have any of those?

They're lightweight. I don't think I could fit in it. They're here. track them.

The JAGR, I've always wanted to fix any of those. Those JAGR groups. I've always wanted to get in on those. Then the Ford GT came out.

They couldn't sell these. These are the 2005 model GT. Couldn't sell them and now they've caught a little bit of price. Now for some reason cars have a crap and can't sell them.

It's not the colours back in the day. You wouldn't buy any pink terrain or what to make. Now they're with fortune. Now this is my favourite Ferrari, the 599.

This is the GDB. I like the GDO. It's got the buttresses, it's got the wing through the back of the mirror, the window. It's just that it beautifully designed.

It's a two-seater V12. I love that car. One day. Because they are affordable.

They're just me, Maloo. Alright, straight away. No, picture. And then you've got the Monaro.

It's got an American, what's on the grill? That's like the voxel grill. That's the one that went to England. So that was peak Holden.

It was the end of the 2000s. They dropped the Monaro, Ford had a new Falcon, they wanted to show off. And no one knew about the Monaro. They just dropped it.

It took all the press away. Is that the one where it was secretly built on the guys? Yeah, it was done. And then it went to America as a Pontiac GTO.

It went into England as a voxel Monaro. And the Yanks loved it. I remember what they called those, the guys that tested cars over there, the English part, the Pontiac, they had doing like grand and I would kill them. I loved it.

They kept going. It was talking about the colonial colonists building cars. It was an amazing vehicle. They still held their values.

It was a beautiful car. We had the H&V where we were, the Black one we had. It was a beautiful car. Mazda's first SUV, the CX-7.

They could have one of those. Yeah, you get it to me once. I didn't like it. Then you had the S65, Merck, AMG, the V12.

That would have been like 2000s. We drove the S63. And then the Lexus ISF, the V8 Yamaha engine. Top car underrated.

Very hard suspension. It's a mirror. Yeah, that's probably a prototype. You know we've seen a, I can't remember what it was the other day, we're behind it.

And the mirrors are like, skis. Yeah, cameras. Yeah. I don't know how they got it.

It must be legal. They must be. Because we'll freak it out. We'll be out of the other side.

Sure it is. Yeah. That's what they're coming out. They look funny though.

They look like they're going to save on fuel from aerodynamic. The ADQ-7, what do you think of that? It's the big Audi full drive. I'm not a fan of the Audi because they're about to pull apart.

The ADR-8. That's a nice car. We drove one of those. Yeah, well I don't like the music.

More car in your hands. That's a Dutch car. Dunk of race car. Some of you became the cars.

The Fiat 500 came out. They still make it. Like you know how they make different ones for Audi? Yeah, the Mazda Audi.

You know what I actually thought about it. Would be bad getting one. Then I thought the best of all of you know what? The Sushi Box at the Ferrari.

This one's still for sale. They have 43 grand. I remember those one in the showroom. So while one of those, you must be bored or have got eight other cars or you've got 40 grand to burn.

And here we go. The Coneet. Oh, it's there. So this one's a CCX.

The first one was the C8, wasn't it? Okay. CC8. CC8.

That's the big one. That's nothing for it. I know. It's the one car up.

It's a beautiful car. The way that windscreen wraps around. It's like a just bit. It's just a nice car.

Everything is forward off. Like, you know, spoke. It's a carbon fiber. It was awesome.

It's Christian Vernkernig. Just a thinker. I think I'd love to go to where they build it. I'd have the opportunity nearly and then we sold that back then that shop.

Because the first one that came to Australia, you were doing it. Yeah. And in the back there as well. Right.

We took it to Adelaide for the 10, I had this thing where the 10 supercars I asked to go there. Yeah. And we took one down the message turn out. The black, there was a big.

They're 10. Oh, it's supercars. Yeah. But was that one of the one?

Two stories that the market had to be off. Yeah, let's cover this. I asked for water. We needed to put some water in it.

Let's climb on. And the, like, what was that? What was that? Yeah, they put that in case of that over.

Like the stuff. I need to put that in. That's funny. That's what it was.

It was just the very case of. Did you put it in? Yeah. I had to.

Oh, shit. Okay. Well, I didn't. Well, yes.

Okay. I bet it wasn't supposed to. That's where it had a bit of a maximum that I was on the playing bus. So, in 2007, this and JD are the R35.

They're rockets. They still make the same car 15 to 16 years later. Remember when they first came out, they said no one can tune them up. I know.

But they had like different settings and the car would only go to race setting on a track. Like how GPS built into it. Oh, you? Yeah.

It's probably that one. That's probably the one. It's a fucking boring decade for cars. It was an ugly decade.

They were all average. I don't know what got into people. Boy, SL came to CDs. Then you got the Phantom Drophead Coupe that had the aluminium bonnet with different colour.

Adam came out and there they go. Strong. They're all out of the atom, especially the four-drive one. The K&N Crossbow.

So, even we went through these racetrack specials about 15 years ago. The new set, the new and three, the V8, the V8 and three came out. So, they went bigger. That was like a German menaro.

They had a lot of ugly cars. X6 being done. You brought out this coupe four-drive bullshit with the X6. They had that sleepy roof.

Why? It didn't act like a coupe and you stole all the stuff. The K&D GTs. The X6.

They're ugly. They're ugly. Then you've got the same young chairman who is like an S-class ripoff. And then you've got the challenger.

So, Dodger brings out the challenger. And they're still making it today, 16-17 years later. I think with the last of the red-eye drag specials, there's the above 500 we said earlier. See how pretty the S-demand still look?

Then you've got the Rolls-Royce Ghost. So, this was small in the Phantom. The Rolls-Royce didn't want to say that. These two pages are the best pages of the few friends.

That's based on the 7 Series. I don't want to say it. So, you're paying double the price of a 7 Series. It was a smaller version of the Rolls-Royce.

I think the door's still like the suicide. Audi TT. I've got to push on that. They've been there for a while.

Yeah, for a while. Volkswagen bought the Serrocco back. Lotus brought out the Vora after over the years of pushing the Elis. We needed to sit back and think about it.

This is a shit-lighter car, so. There's a lot of cars, mate. A lot of cars. Panamera came out in 2009.

So, that's Porsche's first Ford all. sedan. I mean, they had the K&N. Remember those screw photos of the 911 with Ford doors back in the day?

And the Masaranic Gran Turismo. They plumb it in the second ever. It's a nice car. Not sounding for the 8.

I don't mind it. I think this deck had got me bored. And guess what came out? The Tesla Roadster.

The first Tesla, the beginning. Beginning of the end. So, it's based on a Lotus and a stretch Lotus platform with all batteries. The both GTI was still going strong.

So, what year did we start? In 2000. We're up to 2009. That's right.

I thought it was wrong with these 10 years. Isn't it funny? We haven't stopped at it. Except for I got started with the 5.9 Ferrari.

The Skaglietti. Not one of them. It was peak being done at the start of the decade. And then we're up to the M3 V8.

They really didn't do much. It just became really heavy. Not interested. None of those cars reflect through.

No. And those pictures don't do any of those cars. No. They look shit.

Compared to the 80s and the other cars went through. Then Bentley dropped them off to the Molsan. It's the last of the 6-3 litre original Bentley. Because both stage Volkswagen are running out.

They're going to go in two-man. Electric cars are stuck to Ford Focus RS, Range Rover Evoque. They're still going small. It's all issue of these now buddy.

And then that's the amount of work I've had to repeat. The Ford all. I looked at one of these. It's scary though.
