I've still got a lot of super hard on this job. Oh, so it's a trade drop. It's not a... You've got money back.
They gave me the money back. Don't worry. I'll have money. We'll have $5,000 on this place.
We'll have money back. We'll have money back. You're waiting for the new one. You're waiting for the new one.
Okay. With the... the BVV8. Yeah.
Yeah. And actually, apart from the... ...back up with the sun roof... Is it going for warranty?
Is it going to be warranty? No, you jumped out of an XM into a Range Rover. Then you jumped out of the XM because you sounded like a... We laughed so hard.
I had not for a week. You know what? It's going to be a nice car. If this one doesn't give me the bros...
That's one car. That's the one. I really love it. I love driving.
There are lovelies in car. Do you want to retire on top? They're back. See, December 7th.
I'm gonna go back on. If you're there, be quiet. Good morning. Good afternoon.
Listen to the AutoCarp podcast hosted by Bitaratus with Roscoe Lettuce tonight. We've got guests. We've got Kyle the Kargai. We've got Avadus from Para in A Prestige.
And we're in a secret HGB with Alleta. He's done with the SAD. Welcome. I love the question.
You can ask the question. I'm going to do something. Fuck, I'm going to do something. No, no, no.
The studio is big built. The studio is not built. No, no, no. It's not built.
We've moved the studio. Now to Tom's. Oh, look at this. Look at that.
Look at that. There's a lady talking about how she lost her underpants and a frick. Dry her and whatever. And then there's a 450 people who have ever listened to her and wanted to be their friends.
They're a microphone. Yeah, I know. But I've got a microphone. We've got our own microphones, a wrapped plastic sitting at Tom's order body waiting for this wint screen to come off the table to set up the studio.
So Cal, excuse our, so the amateur hour. You know what? I'll just lean into the microphone. That's what we need.
That's what we need. That's what we need. That's what we need. That's what we need.
That's what we need. That's what we need. That's what we need. It's in the middle.
It's in the middle. It's on the box. On the box. On the box.
On the box. At the tap root moment. Where did you get into it? Oh man.
I reckon that I've been told the story of my friends to walk into the garage and they've seen me bashing a hot wheels car when I was about four years old. Yeah. And ever since they made it's anything with wheels and a matter of the passion. So that's what we're saying.
I'm not allowed to have them anymore. I'm happy to open it up. I'll have had bikes. I'd love to have one, but I don't think I trust one.
Trust myself. Someone hit me if I had one. I don't trust anyone else around me. Yeah.
But when you're that way, you actually enjoy riding because you're focused on riding. I had a bike from about 5.6. He's like the Harley of Scooters. I don't even remember that.
That's right. That's right. That's what I was saying. That's what I was saying.
It was like a ten-hour. It was actually a scooter. Yeah. It was a lot of the scooters.
They're going to get the windshield. It's going to get everything. And everyone. I had a glove box with a glove box.
I had a hand brake. I had a hand brake. I had a hand brake. I had a bag of the towels and weeks.
But when you get in the bike, before I hit the bike license, the lights go green and you just used to hammer the car. And on the bike, the lights go green. Left, right. Then you go.
I'll still do that in my car now. The lights go green. Left, right. Then you're more aware of bikes.
I remember when my wife was on the back of it on the bike. And then you need the helmets to the head. I only did that once. But for that reason, I stopped doing it.
Sorry, I didn't expect the cars. Yeah. I don't have to screw a show. I don't have to screw a lot.
Yeah. He's called a car guy. Yeah. So yeah, so basically it's me.
Oh, seriously. Me. Oh, you like cars. I can't podcast.
Okay. Thanks for listening. So yeah. So, but your background, you weren't in the car industry.
No, mate. First night. No, it was funny that story about fashion cars. I ended up in insurance for 22 years.
He was getting started. Instead of fashion, he was fixing them. But yeah, look, cars have been sort of a passion forever. Yeah, did a bit of insurance on a bit of a hiatus at the moment.
But yeah, reviewing cars, making content. If I can be around the car, well, people that like cars, and then I'm generally happy, mate. Well, I talked about insurance. I mean, it's a crazy world.
People shop for price. And I wanted to ask you, is that the right way of buying insurance? Should you look at the price and then work backwards? Or is there other things that people don't miss that are crucial in buying insurance?
Yeah. I took a question. And look, my view, I've never really shot them price because I like my cars. Oh, we've been shot on a shot on a shot on a shot on a 100%.
But I was at the features first. 100%. Look, my view is if you're ensuring the daily drive and it's going to have to be paying it off and it's over shit, then you're going to find your cheaters insurance. Or if it's a Tesla.
Or if it's a Tesla. Yeah, that's it. That got their own insurance for that. But what don't I know?
You're going to let me in on something. It's like, what do you think of Tesla's? I'm jumping to the questions towards the end of the car. You drive a Tesla.
I'm doing my car, man. What do we do? I'm doing my vehicle. I'm doing my vehicle.
I'm doing my vehicle for the environment. I just... I'll touch on Tesla's. I bought the performance and I enjoy it.
I've had it for ease. I've had a lot of cars. I was just spun out with the amount of power this thing has. It reminds me of a four-wheel motorbike.
You can dart in and out. You can do so much with this car. And in city driving, it's so quiet. There's no use.
It's all a reminder of a trainer. A trainer. A trainer. A trainer.
I've reviewed quite a few EVs. I see a place for them. What do I buy one? Yeah, no.
Do you see a place for them as a daily driver? Go to the train station. I do 100%. No, I'm a bit of a buy one for me for that.
My wife commutes to the city every single morning. She's got an old Alexa that loves to choose juice. So I would like to get her into a test drive. The small model that EX, EX, they're like right car.
A fully-adrized, real-drive, really cool interior. There's a place, I'd buy for that use case. And I'll just run fast ones. The MG X-Bower, that thing was more 200 in low threes.
That's all it's for. That's all it's for. Really? You have a sprint.
And then that's all it's for. You have a sprint. And then you don't get the noise, you don't get the drama. It doesn't turn the interest to heavy.
They did a drag with an M3 and then the test is the plate, the fastest one. The model is the... Yes, the L3 just took it. And then the M3 just took it.
It's like a little bit of a sprint. I think it's all fine. Great. You know what?
You know what I'm saying? I give you a pass. By my shit, all week, he'd get 24-20 messages. Right.
He's got a name. But someone's gone back to Range Rover for the second time. And I think they've just lost a bit. They took it about a week.
And then they didn't even need the buzz in the corner. Did the car get fixed as a warranty? It got fixed as a warranty? Brand new.
Brand new. Guess it's coming to sell you a new issue. We made a bet. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
But man, with no guarantee, you cleared us in. Ferrari does seven which is honestly amazing thanks to buggy service. Work. They do, 70% warranty because of what I'm saying.
Obviously, you guys are in the market. No, yeah. No, drink well. Same shirt so.
I believe of Hotny fare. If you pay dont, you get monkeys. It's not a waste of trust. No never run around the table.
Your on the theirs over the short run. And driving to nice cars under the Range Rover hood is awesome. Is not a waste of range. Yeah.
He's got a waste for a couple of weeks, Mick. But anyway, if you're like, don't shoppoint price. Yeah, good. The biggest thing is you're paying for two things.
The relevance for the first one is who's going to repair the car? I'd rather call my mate and say I'm bringing it in or it's getting towed in. It's getting towed in and I want you to fix the car and I want you to say no worries mate. I always take that box.
That's the first thing. That's the most important thing. There's nothing else more important. And then the second one, if it disappears or is damaged beyond repair.
This replacement there. You've got to get your value right. The glasses got it doesn't actually depend on. You can't rely on it.
So they're the two things for me. I've never shopped on price. I often say to people that do enjoy their cars to make sure that those two things are ticked off. I always like to take a rental car box as well.
Always. Did you get the $100? No, the exit. You're not replacing it with that.
I go to the x5 and the x5 and the component was inferted for some panel work. I'll go to the large. And they put me in like a T-rock. I might just leave a good one.
And it often isn't mate. How do you get there? I mean what kind of fleet do you have to put yourself in? Something comparable to that sort of car.
But if you're getting around this important, if you have an app for a claim, you need to have that option. If it's not at fault, there's a million companies out there now that you're a car. And then they're going to be sure. How do those companies work?
It's a loop fault. So if you're not at fault, you can claim against the company that is at fault. For the cost of... But let's say, I'm out of the car for a month.
And then they're going, actually, no, it's your fault. Go off to pay the bill. No, that's a good question. No, no.
It's a very dodgy area. You've got to do it. It's a very dodgy area. Yeah.
There's a few of them around there and they do pretty well. There's a lot of them. Yeah. There's what we should do.
It's something that glasses at Tori. It's on. All Tor rental cars. So do you think...
Is there a way... Is the insurance industry... Does it need an over-hull? Do you think...
Is there something that can do better from a consumer or is it a way the system is... It's been sort of bashed in over 100 years, so you'll be able to hit around forever? I think it's a little bit of that. But I have to say, the last few years of seeing massive reform that's against insurers.
So getting insurers to tighten up what they're doing. And it has become quite challenging, so line up with when I saw my last business. Which is good. I didn't have to go through all that.
But there has been a lot of reform that is pro-consumer, which is good. Do I think it needs overhaul? I think that industry was it. You've got a mechanic that does excellent work and you've got a mechanic that doesn't write.
It's the same sort of caper. I think as a consumer, you need to understand clearly what you're after. What's important for you? And check this, because there are options out there that cater for people like us.
There's not heaps of them, but there are options out there that cater for people like us. They care about the car. It's an overwhelming majority. I remember when I had the N3 up, I was famous.
They were forcing me to run the back home. But you get through the park from the store road and go re-body. So what happened? Just checking.
That was a beautiful car. It was a big car. It was a nice color combo as well. It was a good color combo.
Everything. You ticked all the boxes and it had a great letter of the Corolla. That's too. That's too.
That's too. Attached to the front. Yeah. Yeah.
It's still going to make a whole car too. The way that Corolla popped up in the parking spot and hit me, I can't figure it out. But they had track insurance as well, famous. That was the right insurer for that car.
They knew the car and chose to repair it out. Really? That was pretty competitive. It wasn't cheap.
But it wasn't over. It was over. They didn't do any more. And that was the last year you've been.
Yeah. After that. I took that one to a broker model from the company. So they don't do the record.
You got to get it. And Shenenstot. No, Shenenstot. Shenenstot.
Shenenstot. The options. That's right. That's right.
Shenenstot is something number one. And now most of them. Yeah. So from there, you sold the business.
You got the money and now you're a car guy. Yeah. Yeah. Isn't it funny if you're doing a hundred jobs, so far?
That hobby. Right. Yeah. What do you do for like with cars?
Yeah. I've got a review of a car. So I've got a website called Exhaust. Also, for example, like it.
So yeah. You can plug away, man. Like it. Because people really really want to do it.
Like it in my research. Yeah. No, but for me a day for me would look like a review or creating content around a car that I'm reviewing. But in particular time.
So yeah, that's kind of what I was talking about. And you have a background in journalism. No, I know. Not at all.
I just enjoy writing. So it's kind of worked pretty well. That's all you've got work on that. I mean, it's a one-man band.
Do you have a two-man band? No, no, it's just me. They're in England. Yeah.
I've learnt a lot. I've learnt a lot. It's going to take a walk. Because we're really talking about sitting cameras up as well.
Yeah, right. Good day. We can talk to you. We can talk to you.
We can talk to you. We can talk to you. We can talk to you. We can talk to you.
We can talk to you. They're cut, cut. But now we're pretty floored. We can get it back.
Yeah. We can get it back. We can get the cameras to stripes down. So does it take a bit of time to edit and get it back?
No, it does. It does. It does. It does.
But it's enjoyable. And when you're doing something, you love it. It's not really work. You need a lot of them.
Obviously, you learn press cars. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
They're all new. It's good to get a cross-section of what's coming in the market, which is quite nice. What do you see is the future for, you know, people talk a year ago, a long time ago, two years ago, three years ago. I'm obviously an electric user.
It's the way to go. You know, in five years time, I have no combustion engine cars. It's going to be all electric. Now we've got riots.
Do you see what happened in the States today? There's full riots about banning Teslas. OK. Cars are not meant to be political.
Cars are not meant to be political. Cars are meant to be political. When your leader, your boss gets political, then all of a sudden, you've lost half your clientele. OK.
So where do you see us going before the electric model? It's going to be too hard. Look, I've wanted interesting because I've touched on that before. They make a beautiful electric vehicle.
They're part of a very large. They're going to be an electric. No, they're not. No, they're not.
They also make the poll start. Correct. So they're owned by the same group, right? They actually came out last week and made an announcement.
They were saying that they'd be all electric by the end of 26. I think that's not quite me. But they actually turned around and said, no, we're not going to do that. So they're going to be electrified?
Well, is that the key word they're using? Well, it's an unknown. So they've rolled back from going all the electric from 26 on. So they're not the other ones.
So there's this. What would they say is? Correct. I've been hanging out for the new McCahn.
And I'm not sitting on the road in the six months. I saw. Yeah, I saw. They're not here.
I'm not as a bed to the old one. Nah. Yeah. So that's where I'm going.
Look, I reckon in my get there somewhere in the future. Well, I had a weekend and M5 recently, the brand new M5. OK, I want to hear this. And that is a plug-in hybrid twin turbo V8, 2 and 1 half ton, 1,000 Newton meter, 717 horsepower.
And you feel like you're in the lounge room, right? Mate, that was that changed my mind, right? So I am IC through all through. Will I drive an EV?
Will I buy my probably not? Is it a plug-in hybrid? I'm plugging it in at all. Absolutely.
Yeah. So this thing will do 60K is impure EV. And this is where I love this car, right? So I'd write a flight down to Melbourne.
And it was a bloody early flight, the red-eye ride. So this thing is good because you can turn it on in the morning. And it's completely electric. And it's not noisy.
A lot of people criticize this exhaust note. I quite like it. It's pretty exotic, right? The exhaust note.
But it's about to crawl out at, I don't know, it's 5.30 in the morning. Whatever it was. No, it could be. It was amazing.
Now that's just part of it. This thing completely changed the hybrid in my mind. So the way that the power comes on is that this thing has all of the joy of a V8. It's a twin-out about the 8-4.4-0 thing.
You've got the noise. You've got the instant torque in launch control in a combined thousand-unit-meter launch. And this thing was an absolute fucking bull that it made. It was amazing.
You don't have any original questions about EV. Hiberates. All right. And that's what I was getting to.
Hiberates. I reckon Hiberates. I think the good hybrid made a good hybrid, right? And I'm actually working on a piece on this one.
I reckon Hiberate, if you think about it, with the motor, that is fun, right? Sounds good. That has all the things that Hiberate has. People like, right?
Not at 1.5. Not at 1.33. Exactly right. So it's got to be something that has a little bit of the sound.
Aural plate. Look at that in my mouth. Something that's not just good. That's a aural.
That's how it is. You said it right. I'd be so excited to see where my head is tonight. But I reckon Hiberate is the way to go.
Boys, particularly for people that like to drive. Now, put it out there to a company. Someone picked this up. Make us a little coupe.
Make us a little convertible. Make a hatchback. Make us a van. I think a fucking SUV.
I don't know. But that's sort of drive line. You know, watch people like us go by. What are the XM?
I, apart from a dime, I love the fact that I could drive it. I've had the fan in the car. I would literally sit in the electric car. Nice and quiet cruise.
And then if I was by myself, I'd flick it over. I'd listen to that sound. I mean, it was very, the sound was very fake. But that's okay.
I couldn't say it. I wasn't even spanking that. Was it? So this one had fake cruise.
But it was, but it was, but it was, you could still hear it. You could still hear it. It was good. It was good.
It was not bad, right? So actually, I really liked it. So I reckon hybrid is the go. We'll get to full electric, the track.
OK. So we're going to be in your eyes with the M5. As we say, that's what we're saying. What went wrong with the C63?
Where do the Mercedes drop the ball? OVA. No, it's not a fact. It's a two-minute question.
It's a bloody good question. No, two-minute. Have you driven the C63 one? No, not the two-minute.
No, no, two-minute. No, I haven't. Yes, still about. I think it's still available.
But the russ is still there. You're rather than saying what they're saying. I was like, I can't. Well, they went no way mate.
So I think that they bring the V8 back. They made an announcement about a month ago. So it's coming back. I reckon, look, when you go to the four-cylinder, you're losing the sound.
I mean, that's the thing. So angry sounding right? Yeah. That was all that you got.
It goes into first. Yeah, you can't. Yeah. You can't remove that.
Because that was, I reckon, that was such a big feature in that car that there was all snow. Yeah. No. So they are back, you're right.
And the group does see a little bit more than you want. They're like putting the two. They're like a straight V8. The 63 is all of the 8's for all the things.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's the appeal. 100%.
If you ask me, my personal opinion, they're really boring car. They make an interesting car. And they're extremely bland. And they're styling the outside's great.
I don't think they do a very good job of changing their wheels. I think they're really boring car. That's a four-cylinder. It's a boring car.
Yeah. Put a V8 in it. Six points earlier. Two into over the eight.
Now we're talking about that. Yeah, 100%. Hey, I'm with you. That's where the challenge of the life of that.
But it means just in what's to see what they do. But I think BMW have cast something there to say. Well, you can have the V8. And you can have the electric car.
I took this thing the other side of the island, on a Sunday, whatever it was. And the fuel economy combined, quite 7.4 to 100 volts. Come on, man. That's insane.
And when you plant it, the thing, even from 100 onwards, in fact, I think zero. 100 to 200. There's something about, I can't remember what it was. 100 to 200 kilometers an hour was a ridiculous number.
Quicker. Ridiculous number. I mean, five minutes away to go. You've got two owners that are doing cameras, three to four liters per decade.
You've got the four most cars that are hitting seven and eight. Yep. You've got tensors catching on fire. I can't see.
I can't see. I can't sell them. You've got it. It's got to be my fire.
Back to the shoe. I'll take it. Go ahead. That's right.
Do you think the jump, the regular ones are jumping on? There's still more room. Because go back to your granddad. I mean, I had a 73 in the seats.
Goop 250. It was drinking 20 liters per hundred kilometers. It was like back then, cars were drinking 20, 30 liters per hundred kilometers. It was normal.
My pet was cheap. Do you think that, so efficient today, that they should just keep plotting along? Because they're drinking next to nothing? No, my view is, and I'm going back to the environmental thing.
So my opinion is, what's better? Do you keep something that's already existing running? Or do you build something new and trashy? I haven't found anyone that's been able to give me a good view of what the life cycle of an EV is when you're talking about mentalism.
Just the pure cost of replacing batteries in a car. And I had to experience, you know, if you look at some of the locations on the exam, you look at the cost of just even a warranty, I don't know, can you have electric cars and not a Tesla? Or a big, what do you think? Explain.
It's a cheap, you know, big, fast. Something that's not trying to, like an out of a key, a e-tron. You can try to out warranty any J9 on your own batteries, right? Yeah, yeah.
The other thing, I was going to raise this. It's not like an optical. The world's not level playing field. You've still got countries like India that are getting their first cars.
They're not going to give them, but they're going to give them little three single-class box boxes. No, they're all, they haven't got rounds. That's where all those cherries went. That's where the other two things happen.
So that's what's happening. I've got a list of quick fire round questions for Kyle. Ready? Aussie report.
Oh, fine. Is that what I was saying? I think I picked one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was your input. I was the input. Metal or plastic? Metal.
4-cylinder turbo or V8? I've got both. That's hard. V I'm just saying 12.
Oh, standing, standing, standing, standing, standing. Cut. We're going to ask you about your car history. We're jumping the gun, yeah.
Crossed up in the boat like that. Where's the police? Where the turbo are? Yeah, right.
That made 20 men on that was a good cut. Porsche Ferrari? Ferrari. Been down to Mercedes?
I say it. I like sore range on. I know. Lexus or Genesis?
I've got two. All right. Manual, paddle shift. Manual.
All right. Now, you've got to see your channel and do a fair bit of driving. OK. Have you had a, what the fuck is this?
I'm buying this. What is this thing? Moment. Like when you got it, they did five?
The Volvo? You know what? I actually rated it that far. It's 60 car.
And it's, yeah. It takes about a long time to put my hand up and say that was, you know why? I think it was a combination of things. There was a use case right there in front of me for my wife's to drive it and it's well priced and it did everything, man.
What the hell is that? I think the spec that I had on this. No, it was pretty well specced up this one. I think it was somewhere about 70, 70, 70, right?
It's all right. It's 65. Rap, 65, rap size. Somebody get that.
Yeah. Good thing. That's pretty shit that's a little bit of that I answered. Wow.
That's OK. I like you. The next one is, what the fuck is this? Can we stop recording?
