He's even at the remote control car accident. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening to wherever you are. You are listening to the Auto Car Podcast. We are back from holidays.
Oh, well, hello. Everyone's been complaining of this. What holiday? Oh, sorry.
Ross and I are back from home. We didn't leave hella microphone. You could just name your own. The closest I got to Greece was Victoria.
You're Ross and Arthur. That's all very great. I left the laptop with the other two and they're on. You're still trying to get any place on Facebook, and they had a VCS computer.
What was the idea? It's fine. It's good old mafers work. It's in your range.
It's like it's starting season two. It's like the beginning of the talking season when we're going to go. It's season. We've got no idea.
We've got the next 20 minutes. We do have a run shape. As we just got a wing up. Someone just took my phone and said it ran.
I've got one turned off. So, yeah, as we said in the intro, we're back from overseas. So we've got some tales about Greece including the tragedy. A few.
We've also updated some of our cars. My poor rental car became a tragedy. Oh, we do. Which one?
Which one is correct? Yeah, I did a week in Barcelona. Was it really nice? Really nice place?
A lot of Spanish people. Yeah, but they did. All good. He's just a very interesting place.
We said friends and good friends and girls leave. He's doing a sort of three-year-old. He's leaving him in Barcelona. So he goes through a list of them.
And he's staying in an expale area which is in the airport. Which strangely is every street-commerce concert you don't know. No, no, no. You're talking to the kids all the way for the bus.
Everyone was waiting for a bus. I'm driving through with my mate and we've got the kids in the back of the car. But the beach, this beach for some holy weekend or some celebration, they used to do 90s in the 80s and it was great. They were allowed to let fireworks off.
So there's a shipping container that gets delivered on Friday. It gets taken on the Monday and literally just go up and you purchase. There's a cattle on there. It's like a 12-year-old kid selling illegal fireworks.
We're going to do it legally ever. He needs these dangerous people letting fireworks off. We went away for that weekend because of the celebration. The celebration was a full-on, so they just got all these big things.
These beaches got all these amazing beach bars and whatever. We ended up with one of the beach bars that we loved. We should go back there and get some chicken wings. We had chicken wings that night.
Sorry a couple nights before. So we should go back for some chicken wings. So we got to go back for chicken wings and the places burned down. So what's happening is there's this bushfire, this grassfire that started because someone obviously had a firework off and literally swept all the way through and took out the place for a guy with some chicken wings.
What was funny was that night's guys giving a go. You really need to bring the instructions and they say it's always blue the whole family. The Lichima sounds got a video of it. It's like something from YouTube posted on YouTube.
I recommend getting a million people watching it online. Hey guys, the whole rocker was supposed to be putting the cylinder which then shot into the sky and then we'd explode. The sky is your hand. I didn't say the cylinder.
I just stuck in the sand. So instead of it exploding in the sky, it ended up exploding on the ground on the sand, lost my family and a few other Spanish families outside. Tell you what, I don't know if you're swearing at me. You're talking about the first time.
I'll get to the quick bus event story. I'll back to a couple years ago with the motorbike. We had to go back to McDonald's. We had to always order something that wasn't on the Australian menu.
So we got to the, like in Paris was the journey they still be at McDonald's. But in Barcelona, look at them in you and there's a big Apollo. And I go, fuck, I've never had a Apollo before. So what a Apollo.
There's a small bit of... No, there's a small bit of... No, no, no. That is what you can do.
That was like a small... I got that. I got that. So that's my bus.
That's great. It was good. It didn't do much. You know, rental care every year, the whole family knows.
It was the rental car experience. This year, they brought in my Q5 again. Q5? I like to get the Q5.
Same one with 30,000 cars on it. Brand new car. 200 kilometres on it. Wow.
Came from Athens for me. I was very excited because we were sitting there waiting for Ross. Private out of there. But then I've ridden on it.
There was no, just sign the piece of paper. Check it for his groceries, guys. It's brand new. Brand new for them Athens.
Please, please, bring it back. So it was a container boat riding for it to the last. So his last year, the car that went back had a black Q5. It came back and it had more hits than rocks in.
It was, it was... You took that string insurance company. Oh, wait, it's always taken. It's not me.
It's everyone else. It's zero problems. So I'm seeing literally the lights as we're heading out towards the... out of the airport and a guy literally drives a strap.
No, I'm going to cut it. I'm putting it on up because I'm coming around to pick up the kids with the back. Draw straight in the back. Are you serious?
I was like, I'm going out. Feed him again. It's okay. It's okay.
I'm just kidding. He just hit me. He goes, don't worry about it. Don't you talk about me.
He had like an old fear. He took off on me. Was there a stack? I wasn't there.
The back barber. Scuse-mashed lights. You know how the Q5's got the bottom barber. It's got the lights on it.
Yeah, that's fast. Well, in the case, it's not working. I was going to get to that. But within three days, I had no mirror on the left on the passenger side.
So it's the running top. I had no mirror because I was parked the car and a bus just came from and took it off. The front bumper was half off. The car actually looked like it had been in the roller.
You kept the car even though it was the smash last time. It was okay. It's okay. It's okay.
What about the rear look? What about the rear look? What about the rear look? What about the rear look?
What was it going to give me? I was going to give me. What was it going to give me? I got that to be.
I got that to be. I drive around for four weeks in Greece. I made my name in Greece. They got in Greece.
They're only got one liter hatchback bus boxes. But they're brands that are the shit European brands. There's a million Citroids everywhere. There's no other ones everywhere.
There's no other ones everywhere. Sorry. Let's not make it nice. He's making some great blugs taken in the mall.
What? He's making them. It's like, they're just importing them from the East of Europe. I've also made a lot of these.
They got all the smarts. Smart cars everywhere. And lancias. Yeah, they're all nancias.
I'm making a lot of these. You got a lot of these. You got a lot of these. You got a lot of these.
You got a lot of these. They're selling brands. Athens has got big mix of cars. They're just Citroids.
They're traversed. They're like the Citroids. You know the one? Yeah.
Two CV. I saw one lucky back of it and one. With a slant suspension. No, I'm back of it.
It was the pre-order. The built new freeways need the area that we stay in Greece. You cruise at 141 feet. These roads, the corners are cambered.
You don't have to turn the wheel off. What's that? Well, I was doing 141-50 on these freeways. And last year the locals were the police.
They're all about this big. They're rocking. Bullshit. I've had eight finds already.
And that was only from my first week being there. Look, they're not expensive. Sorry. I've had 34 finds.
They're eight-year-old. That's right. That's right. That's right.
The tolls are more expensive. The tolls are more expensive. The tolls are more expensive. I was thinking about it.
How many more? I thought it was 34 of the first. No, no, no. This is just Ricky.
I thought that was two of a second photos of me. Oh, no, no, no, no. Three years ago, I know it was a 90-year-old that was a speed camera. You go from there to 50 when you hit a town.
I slammed on the anchor and then caused a massive pileup. It was the toll that they switched them off. So I couldn't know. No, I couldn't.
What do these rocks? They have this staked toll. I had a toll. No, no, no, no.
I should do that on the end. I had a toll. There's a toll. There's a toll.
I had a police car to 150-colours an hour. The police car was doing 100-colours? He was doing 100-colours. I guess he was an old shitty Citroën.
Oh, I had an old- It was sort of like a jeep. We went for lunch. My dad knows the police made up of like a ski resort area with dads from the mountains. Listen, everyone knows.
He had a jeep. He had a jeep. Cherokee. Yeah, there's old ones.
Yeah, man. So I 15-year-old car diesel and I was falling against the restaurant. I couldn't stop laughing. If you smoke, you want to smoke, then smoke.
But the brake lights don't work. The police car, you're not going to smoke. So I told him that lunch, I go, um, your police car. The brake lights, you guys meet.
We've been Australian, you guys change your police cars every two, three years. You guys, we came up to about 400,000 kilometres. We're like, you've been 400,000 kilometres. They just run into the ground.
So, um, you know, it's a great fun. No one uses blinkers. Do you notice that? Yeah, they're here.
You only use a blinker. So all the freeways are sort of cutting in and out. He has a lot. So the blinkers, if you're, if you can see a car tearing down at about 160, you're going to go to a car to an eight in front of you.
That's where your blinkers are. So the other guy behind you slows down. So it's not to indicate you're changing lanes. It's the same way.
So I'm going to cut it right away and slow down. But the most powerful button in your dashboard. The most powerful button. It's not the sport button.
It's the hazard. How would you press the hazard in anywhere in Greece? You stop in the other road and it means three square metres around here. The road is mine.
Go around here. There's no big thing. I want to talk to my mate. That's the hazard.
You stop. You press the hazard button. It's stronger than brake lights. That means everyone knows the car.
So parking, right? So in Greece, everyone knows. It's Greece, park, park and anywhere. It actually doesn't.
It's bullshit. They know the tourists. They know the tourists and they know what they can get away with. So I've pulled up into one of these towns where we were away from where we were.
Dad with me, my wife was in the other kids. I can't find a parking spot. I'm just going to pop it up on the footpath. It wasn't bothering anyone.
It was like an island. In a car park. It was only in a car park. So I come up to me and he goes, excuse me.
You don't start. Can you tell him Greek? Excuse me. Oh, in Greek.
No. I want you to tell us exactly what you want to say. Greek. Yeah.
In Zag Greek. In English. No. I'm going to speak to you.
I'm going to speak to you as a car. No, he's an excuse me. I'm walking. Excuse me.
I said yes. You know you can't pass the car. I said, why not? He goes, what country do you think we're going to see?
Many fucking blocks. I said, I've been in this country for a week. There's people parking on the street. I can't park.
I'm still not even walking. But besides you, my wife was already a hazard. No, no, no, no, no. You can't park.
I'll go to the police. I said no, I'm going to park. He goes, I'll tell you what. I want to go to the police.
If you eat, I'm going to go. I haven't been here ever. I have a sneeze chock. I have music, I gotta say.
I gotta fight off my back. I'll move you, I'll see you. I was gonna eat you the rest of my pick, yeah. But no, you can't park wherever you can, and the other, the other, that you've had a role park here, you can double park as long as the lane is free for the traffic to flow, as long as you're within 30 seconds off a bit.
So when I go, I'll be sleeping there haul it, you have to come out of the shop where you are to move your car to the stuck of park. Well, in the town you're east book, which is about half an hour, right? We arrive to the police with drills taking every time I'm playing top. Look at this is really strange.
Why is it? And I spoke to the local cop, and he said, the reason they're taking the other plates off is because the last five years no one's been paying any of these free info on it. The only way for them to get their registration plate back is if they all paid it. They're targeted the right vehicle.
No, no, no. If you're parked illegally, they're taking your plates off. Really? Yeah, they get crazy.
And they realize, and they realize, we can make some money off this. But my question is, when they go back to the police station, are they paying the guy cash? Or are they of course they are. Of course they are.
There are a lot of tolls in these new roads. That's the best degree I've agreed to the third in Euro toll. It's like women in the toll gates. And they've all got full makeup on.
Look at her husband. I was talking to a wife about it. I said, they've got seven seconds to impress the driver. Because the car pulls up.
Hi. Hi. The hand comes out. You see a fully made up.
Is it made up? Made up? Made up. So, do you reckon that small window, seven seconds they're there to pick up?
Or do you think cost of the manager's heart? And they just get all doled up. No, I reckon cost of the manager's heart. Yeah, because it's seven seconds.
I'll let you know Ferrari. You're not picking up at Tolci. I don't know. But they're all the full makeup.
I'm the main Athens who's dated three or four girls whilst he's been eating the guys. And... Is it like Barcelona? No, no, no, Barcelona.
And he was telling me, he said to me that women cheating is a national sport over there. Oh yeah, it looks like a... It's like a national sport. Like if you are married and your husband gets to 40 and you're like mid 30s, he's gone late.
He's gone late. He's gone late. In French, they've got a girlfriend. And he's here.
The French, I'm gonna know he's in the story, the French hated Clinton. But when the monochromeensky thing happened, he's approval rating France. When he threw the roof. Wow.
Why can they be out? I can't have any. Well, there was a video on social media from Turkey a couple of weeks ago. So the wife has found that the husband was lighting photos of, you know, models on Southland Facebook.
So she took him up in a ferris wheel. Right. What about my friend? She's recording and she was filming the throwing now.
I'm gonna say it was for a little bit more. Me talking to the national sport over there. I'm speaking of ferris with you, I'm in India. That's split in half?
Wasn't ferris with a ferris? No, no, no, no. There was a parichop in India. I'm gonna go to the top, the pendulum, and literally snap it up.
No, no, no. We ferris was. My wife is scared of heights. When she was young, her cousin grabbed her by the legs and hung her out.
I didn't know this was the first time. When I first took a one round of water, that's not the first one. No, no, no. Who's that?
No, that's not that. I didn't know that that happened. When I first met her, there was a ferris wheel that's on the upper house. I took the guy far back to the top.
No, to make a move. Oh, no way. So the first we'll stop at the top of the guy with Debbie. And I went to make my move.
And she was like shivering and stuttering and I'm like. What? That was a bad day. That was a bad first day.
This is going to happen all year. So, if you're doing young, then you're doing daycare today. So, Ross and help, the Broadway kids tonight, the ones are out partying. Cue your hand if it's a call.
I really work. Working, working conference. Well, back here. I was holding the floor.
You didn't do much. I'll be out of my gear. I'll be out of my gear. So, it's not exactly what I was on the floor.
There's a couple of things I'm sorry. Before we get to your floor now. Did you know some cars had like a suction cap with a t-shirt? Yeah.
I was a bag on the board. That's a little drive. Yeah, no idea. I can't.
On the freeway. I don't know what the hell that was. Our local mates told us that's a learner drive. I don't know what the stands are.
Never been. No idea. No idea. No idea.
No idea. Do you know what I love about the Greeks? It's not just Barcelona is a little bit more refined. They're trying to keep up.
Social media has really brought them. We've noticed over the last 10 years the villagers kind of got. Because it's not a little bit popular. I go, but I went to this bar when he had all the prices up.
You know, 10 euro for a hair card. We don't have every musical. And I said, can you do a cut-through-a-chap? And he goes, cut-through-a-chap.
He cuts you. He's like, what's a cut-through-a-chap? And I'm like, I'm a shag-er. Well, this isn't a great slag to me.
Oh, it's a nip. And he goes, like a shag. I said, here, just go back tomorrow. Oh, come on, come on.
My back. Oh, I can be pampered. Have a shag. And then we go for a swim.
And then I pull. And then I pull. So I sit down. He ladders up the beat.
I don't know. Five days with a breath. Pulls down a packet of disposable big raises. He's standing.
He's standing in a single blade. He's standing with a big spazzle. Oh, I got a big spazzle. He's standing with a big spazzle.
He's just standing with a big shag. He's shaking. And this is giving you that. He's like, oh, I got another one.
He's serious? What the... It wasn't even a triple blade. It wasn't even a triple blade.
It was a single blade. It was a massive... It was really awkward. How far do I think it...
This is really strange. I've just asked the grown man to show me. It was a big raise-up. I am.
We made the cuts. I was from the break-off. It was a cut-through. It was okay.
It was a hoo-daw I get. And it must have been... I think it was a big block, because I have to tackle it. It was a greasy.
You don't have to tackle it. That was a piece of shag. But you get it for a while now. That's a good one.
He's still got it. He's got a good block. 1.6. Don't bring the load.
You see an S class. There's like an S. You know, like an S. 200.
I'm sorry, I'm not going to touch it. You're not going to touch it. You're not going to touch it. It happens to Brad.
He won 80. He won 80. He didn't have a twi screwing. He won 80.
He went over with the old pavo. Well, my Q5 was the three-liter diesel. Is it a three-liter diesel? Well, diesel.
I don't know what it was. It was a pretty diesel. I don't know. Can I tell you something, if I get that?
I blew it. You know, that had blew. It needs to be filled up. Yeah.
You can put water in there. Right now. It's your real. You can piss it.
You know, it's not just water. You can put water in there. It's hard. No.
So, wait. That should be getting a waste like 10,000 Ks out. No, 7,000. No, 7,000.
No, you couldn't have done 7,000 Ks out in Ireland. Yeah. That's right now. You're going to the server and they sell a blue bar in five-liter buckets.
Oh, yeah, you can get safety code. You get the flakeshoot. That's why I said it was a waste gift. Like, whatever.
That's what I was doing. Whatever. That's what I was doing. It doesn't matter.
It's what I mean. You don't have any bouncing roads. That's what we call them. Those little one crosses.
Yeah. When in Greece, there's a lot of people that die. They put fancy little memorial shrines and the little ones in the back seat. Look, Mummy.
How fancy are those little boxes? We had to explain to them that they're really little boxes. You know what I'm amazing, Grace? I'm a serious note.
They've got no concept of drink drive. It's a big problem. Especially where we are. There's no concept of drink drive.
They will go out and get blind drive. I'm going to drive home. There's no concept of policing. That's what I call the parking, right?
I think we were saying we were 0.05 in Australia. I think that was saying it was 0.05. No, they do have a limit. It's ridiculous.
You'd be putting jail if it was the limit. But the thing is, the traffic flows. It flows. It's anarchy on the roads, but it's not like India.
It's not like where there's no way to that. Look, I'm going to have some current decorum. It flows. I'm going to lose a few listeners here, but I had a major issue with a lot of the German tourists and the crew.
Because I think it's their honor. We'll bring the boat and Jessica on the beach. I think my mum was trying to get off the boat. She just wanted to get off the boat.
We brought it into the shore. We got it on the jet skater. We'll just bring her in. And say, because of it, because of it, because of it.
I had enough of it. I just wanted to drive it. I'm going to drive it. Some of my drone shots.
I'll put them up on the boat. That's crazy. She got to the drone. She comes up to me and I think I was going to say that day.
Maybe I had slept. Maybe I was going to say, excuse me. I was like, what? She said, I don't like the noise for Jessica.
I said, you know what? This is not your beach. You're like, yes. There's the Greek.
There's my blood. She's just like a Greek. She's like, oh, she's a Greek. She says, my blood is Greek.
You're a blood. You're here on the line. I said, when I come to your country, you're told me where I can see it. When you're in Greece, I'll tell you which catch you can see it on.
Their face was like, I didn't even make that. But, like, when I do you leave? I'm going to drive. Oh my god.
I'm going to drive. Yeah, I'm going to drive. Very artistic. Yeah, how'd you go?
Did you get off? Oh, yeah. I was like, what's that? I'm a German tourist.
We don't like that my brother. I don't know what was it. Nick, I've got a dick from a few episodes ago. He turned out his lady goes, well, you worry about it.
You guys, sometimes we get, trust me, clothes on or clothes off. We're not going to be taking any photographs off you. But it was, it was, it was, it was. They just figured that sitting in German past naked.
Great. And they worried about it. Yeah. But they were just, like, some of the drawing shot, launching the drawing was just, was just, was just, just, because you just got to see, just some really beautiful scenery.
And it was fun too. It was a really cool movie. It's a really cool movie. It's like real loud, so it was fun.
Yeah, so it was one place we weren't allowed to. So we were at Sautan beach, which was really close to the America. It was close to the American Army Base. It was an American Army Base where, apparently, what's the present goal?
What's your name? Trump. Trump. Trump came in there and stopped there.
Trump went to Greece. He stopped in Creep there to then keep going somewhere else when he was going. I was to refuel or something. I'm flying the dry, I went to the water to the drone at this beach, and a base said, can't fly.
And he'd blocked all my signals and everything. Right, you could. He'd fly. He'd fly.
He'd fly. I literally have blocked it. I posted a photo on Instagram, it said, this is a no fly. No flies either of that.
Which is quite a thing. So we got the power out of block your. So my drums, because it's registered, it's an army aircraft, it's registered up. The battery packet in here, I'm going through Dubai, you had to disclose, you got a drone.
Well I didn't, so my, you can pack away, you can disclose the packets. So I took all the batteries with me. I had them packed into the, you had to have special packages for the battery. So they're in the battery phase, whatever's wrong.
Cases, you know, the lithium battery cases. So if you try one, so I take those on a plane, I send a drone with my sister who was going through Singapore. So I'm going through the process to bring it in, to my flight, just to bring it in. I think there's no.
You know, if you can't take through Dubai, yeah, I'm like, you can't. Six dollars, six dollars. Yeah, you know. Oh fuck.
You got to go with it. No, I'm not doing it by us, man. No. No, no, no.
No, no, no. The same for, to bring in the six dollars is the drone. Well, anyway. There's a glidesome.
It's not going to be pecking out, but none of it. Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no.
No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no, no. So I was, I needed to, I needed to go FaceTime called back to Australia.
And there's no FaceTime. Where? In the UAA. Where'd you stop?
We stopped at Dubai, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Did you stop over there? Yeah, we stopped. Did you go for a while?
No, we didn't do for a while. We did Warner Brothers, which was, if anyone's in Abu Dhabi, it's probably the most amazing theme park I've ever been to. It was indoor. Nothing was visible, so none of the rides were visible at all.
Everything was behind the scenes. So like, the roller coaster, you went on, that literally just had a basement. And you weren't about to, it was weird. It was weird shit.
But, you know, it was crazy. Like roller coaster that's been around and then inject it in and bring it back. It was weird. What we, I went on in Singapore.
So I think that, what was it? That's not it. That's not it. No, it was out, it was that everything was indoors.
Yeah, we went on. And it was the transformers right off and up. Right. Back to the bed.
Oh, man. Oh, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we ended up going to, I can't think of the road. We went to Spain. We went to clean parks because the friends were with, we loved their theme parks and we wanted to have the kids.
So we went to Ferrari Land in Spain. It's a big Ferrari. Yeah. Port of Ventura was called the largest thing.
The Safe Land was closed or? Yes. Also made of a lot of, and the Ferrari would ride. There wasn't any rides.
There wasn't a Ferrari's there which was a strange thing. But this thing shot you up into the sky. I don't even know if he was, it was, I couldn't, I'll, I'll, I'll swim the line for it. And I go to the front of the line, I'm out of here guys.
I think he just waited an hour. I'll show you. I'll show you. He was super men riding the goalcoast and then I got onto the sit man ride and then a thing would shut.
No. I walk ashamed, you've got that's cut. The right? Really it's not too tall for the Henzura.
I was too wide. It's not too tall for my roads. But let's go back to Abu Dhabi. Yeah.
What are they, what are they, how are the girls riding the Henzura? A Hijap. Hijap? So when you're a roller coaster what happens to Hijap?
