The specific office effort from 27. That'll do better. That final 10-year-old is a problem. Good morning.
Good evening. Welcome to the old talk. Car podcast. It's busy time of the year.
August, how are we going? Good morning. Grace? How's...
We haven't made a break. Still trying to find those episodes at House Supposedly recorded, whilst we're overseas. The mystery episode. We can't find them.
You had the recording device. I took them in the first time. No, don't you have an iPhone? No.
Hey Ben here. Fantastic. Grace, Grace, Grace. Grace, Grace, Grace.
No, no, no. Grace, Grace, Grace, Grace. Grace, Grace, Grace. We went to the track.
Not with Daniel Johns, not those drinks. Yeah. Well, well, you know what my bikes were starting today. We went to Darwin for my bike and we ended up in a night club called Throb.
It was a good guest at my name with a night club called Throb. And it was all the boys that are there, right? We're all girls. This is a straight.
Fast and fast. And then within about 15 minutes, this Aboriginal drag lady came out and dragged me out. Well, they got me out. Anyway.
I'm going to put on the most amazing drag stuff, the most amazing thing you have. So that's not the kind of drag you're into. No. No.
Because Peter, me, Mitch said how's in drag? I don't know what he was doing. You've been out on Saturday night in the address. I use one of those social, those apps where you try and meet people.
Well, TIGA. No, there was a whole bunch. No. The other way, now we're waiting for a girl to come up.
Google Places. Was it Grind or something? We waited. This is not a win-minute in my area.
There's just a bunch of blokes hanging around. So they were calling us all Peter Bading help. Yeah. No girls replied to that all the time.
So you know how people play golf on Saturday mornings? You go to the drags. These people go to the drags. Yeah.
And like they make it was like, they were timing, but they were not racing. And some people like just, they had their whole pit crew there. They would just start and run half and then, or five each other. So that was a test in June day?
Yeah. So you generally, there's like only about maybe 20, 30, 40 cars at the truck. Oh, no. But you find that it runs a lot quicker than a normal drag meet where people go, there's street cars and everything.
So these are a bit of everything. You have street cars, drag cars, bikes, mini dragsters. You have kids. The kids were out in their mini dragsters.
I put that on them. What's that social thing that we do? Instagram. I put a lot of the kids in their little, just all that.
It's happy with those engines. Yeah, but the parents apparently feel that Judy Drex is a safer than soccer and rugby league. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My son is 12 and he plays rugby.
I reckon it would be safer. He will break a leg where he's in the drags. Like going straight. He won't hurt himself.
Oh, don't tell him that. Christian, if you're listening, no mate. You're not going to drag race. I think they run a lot of red packs.
What? Red packs. It's a red card. That's cool.
Should we go coming next week? Look. Look. I'm going to throw it out there.
We can. If you want it. Okay. That's right there guys.
Thanks. We got one more. We got one more. Really good day.
The car didn't, was it quicker over the quarter mile? But. This is the green card. Yeah, but the top speed was faster.
I've got a bone to pick with you. Yeah. You said to me the car is completely bone stock. No, it's put the special wheels on the special wheels.
I saw the special wheels on the street. It's still drinder on the street. It's fine. It's fine.
It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.
It's fine. It's fine. But what happened? I got to the car.
I did my burnout. I did my burnout. The reverse back got it ready. And my phone started reading.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. No. No. No.
No. I thought I was going to say it's got a range of over here. I don't have any mates in front of us. You know what I'm going to say.
What do I have to say? I bought this car. What do I say to you? What do I say?
Don't buy it. Don't buy it, don't buy it. You know why there's no rain truck at the end of this club? Because no one's going to have a twin up to the meeting.
No, no, no. A spike was invented by a range over over over here. I'm going to have a twin up to the meeting. A spike was invented by a range over over over here.
The second all, there's a huge body. I'm going to have a friend's house on the weekend. I'm going to have a friend's house on the weekend. I'm going to have a friend's house on the weekend.
I'm going to have a friend's house on the weekend. I'm going to have a friend's house on the weekend. I'm going to have a friend's house on the weekend. I said to him, hey, that's a really nice land drive.
He's going to drive like that. He goes, that thing. I said, yeah. I said, you drive it off?
He goes, when it starts, I said, really? And he goes, yeah, he's the biggest piece of shit. This is a friend of mine. So we can talk about other.
He's the biggest piece of shit you can see everyone. He goes, why? What's going on? I said, anyhow to previous range drive.
I had the original sport. It was a good car. I was going to have a bike, I was going for seven weeks. I had a bike.
I had a bike. I had a bike. I had a bike, I had a bike. I had a bike.
So I have the driving drive. I'm driving to Eben. I think I had an appointment. I was in Eben literally.
Have one of those dials, they're spinning dials on the jacket. Yes. And I'm driving. I'm driving on the jacket.
This is really straight. I pulled to the side of the road. I couldn't get it back. I couldn't physically get it back into the drive.
I pulled to the front, I was on the front, on the motorway, the M2. So I pulled into the shoulder. I like it to the shoulder. The acoustic goes down.
I was playing hard at Zig, and he was like, whoa, okay, come back up, no, it was like, I was like a little fish, I was trying to fight, couldn't not get the gistic, to pop out. I was gonna say, couldn't get the gistic up, but I couldn't get the gistic to pop out at all. And I had a title, that was like five men, and they were like, I made this a problem with this guy, and he goes, we haven't had any problems. Not that I was aware of the way of the way of the way.
It was very, very, very bad. But I'm gonna say one thing, I think the move from, and you know, BMW owned them for a little bit, then it moved to Ford. I think they were okay when it was with Ford, because they're using a lot of the Ford products. Now, but when Ford had it, I remember they've had a lot of Volvo parts in it, which was okay, because they've all got a motor in it.
Then they'll go into Tata Motors. I don't know if it's disrespectful, we'll do a lot of my fine-made in, yeah. No, I'll do it, oh, it's fine. Mabau fine, that's pretty much what it is, it's one big mobile phone.
It doesn't work. It doesn't work. I want the car to be from Tata, because when it goes, you'd be in Tata. There's a problem with the car, it's every button, like the re-doors still don't open, because the button for the re-doors is like an LED screen.
Because the LED screen doesn't work, it's kind of in the redorts. So it's kind of, I think- And they use the iPhone 4 as their template. I think the original iPhone's got more technology than this one. It's just not refined enough.
So they don't want to go to the X7, because the Range Rover's a piece of shit that I am. I'm gonna say that. We're going to go to the X7, there's a beautiful car. There's a spectacular car.
It looks really cool in real life, it's kind of easy. It looks really cool in real life, it's kind of easy. It's just so expensive. I just throw it for a car that's not as just too expensive.
We can go to our friends at Sylvain, they've done it a couple weeks time. We can kind of do it now. That's it. Yeah, so that's why.
We're going to go two seasons on. Awesome mate. Should've bought a 4th X5. So what I was gonna say was, everybody that has a Range Rover, when you ask them, how's the right- I love it.
It's a beautiful drive. It's fantastic. Then when you buy one, you become part of this club, and they're trying to go, oh mine doesn't have any indicators. Why don't you tell me that before I paid?
Because it's too embarrassing. It's too embarrassing. I think that's what it is. I think it's too embarrassing.
You know how a test driver has a range anxiety? Yeah, but that's not anything. A Range Rover driver would have like- No, it's not. Maybe it's a bit like, M-way, like Poomitz game, where Range Rover owners get extended warranties for sucking other things.
I was talking to three people that I know that have had three cars replacing the current sport. Three. So I like it when you get the F-place up. Yeah, I'd say yeah.
I was talking to the bull there. When we went to that day, and we saw all these Range Rover's downstairs- Yeah, it was almost like- It was almost like- Who's who? Well, we thought that I was having a Range Rover. I was meeting Dan.
They were, they were, they were, they were. They were, they were, they were, they were. Wow. Yeah, it's been pretty bad.
It's probably the worst car owner experience of a hand. I know the previous one, the worst one I ever had was the about, our December. You just got all out and just get it, then take it. I don't know.
You get $1,400. Or, or, or, or, or, I heard, I heard, I heard, I heard, I heard, there's an SDV6 vote running around. That's a really good car. That's a really good car.
Yes, one of one. One of one. One of one. One of one.
I don't even have one there, at least you want to do it. Just kind of get back to the drags. Yes. I think I know, remember that.
There was a lot of cars there. There was this old valion. It was this old valion. It was this old valion today with the original and you click drag option, they bought everything on there.
They started the engine through the bit that sticks out the bonnet. This thing basically has the microsoft build. It's almost like a, it's almost like a top-scale engine. Like it's a nice looking car.
It's a thick second car. Like it had the engine sticking out the, the, the, the, the bar ketchup. The engine was a bar of the roof line. What's a bar ketchup?
It catches bugs because it sticks out. What is it? It's like a bar ketchup. I'll tell you what if you get close enough to the engine.
It's like a second fruit. But they put the start, the electric starter was through that. That's how they start. No.
And then on the side. It's like a truck. But it's like a truck that's stuck onto the body to come to protect the wheels from what? I don't know.
So they took them off. They, no, no, no. So what it is, they got cut from the. Because they're sitting out in the sun, right?
Yeah. So they don't want the, yeah, they don't want the, the, the drinks leaks heating up. Well, it's sitting, that's right. It's right.
You've got to be hot when you do not have to be. No, no, no. No, no, no, no. You're going to do your burnout.
Take the tires up. If they're already here. It's like when you go to have a truck race. You know, you've tried days, you check your temps before you go out.
You got a contest? Hot tent. It's usually another dash, you know. So anyway, it started, it was loud, it was the first time it blocked my ears, and then this thing just launched, and then the poor bloke on control.
Is he okay? No, no, no, no. He's down like a 180, and he was sliding down, he was only zoned, it was not on the car, like I said, it was a test on June day, so they weren't really officially drag racing each other. And he sort of saved it on the other lane going backwards, but it looked like a slow motion because we were looking down the track, and then he hits the wall.
So from what I was telling you, the actual gear flopped up, which basically the whole re-wrench now is huge. And then this is pretty good, so a dash. 3000 horsepower, it has. Yeah, and then it got way.
And then those little tracks came out to clean up the track, and the track is so sticky, some guys got their shoes stuck in the burnout section. That's how sticky the track is. It's interesting looking. But it's not that colour anymore.
It's back to the original, like the ivory white. What kind of that? Yeah, I'll show it. It's a great idea guys, looking at photos and your phones.
We're all about the experience. So it was a good day out on the track. It was like, I've picked the door and he walked right into the bottle room. And they smashed it.
He hit side on, he would have been still travelling, but it wasn't like a... Was he got it? We didn't see that. I wouldn't be happy because that thing is straight as they...
Whatever they were supposed to do. That's like a straight down course battery. That was one of the best cars. That's 8 bucks.
The running gear on it is... It's still more fast. Yeah, like Tesla fast. No, it's like...
It's like... It's like two Tesla's fast. Two Tesla's. Two more.
One right around the target. It's electric. It's electric. Time up.
And it's stuck. Is that... It doesn't work. It doesn't work.
But it's your mate car. We brought the entry to the end. I brought the entry to the end. Yes, we knew wheels.
Yeah, new wheels. It's a... Is this all yours? Yeah, yeah.
On Facebook, my wife's interested in... Did you write your research on your side of the wheel? Seriously. It's in the middle of the extreme.
You get a set of wheels. You're throwing them out. No, no, it's what I am. I was cleaning up and working on them.
I sold out. I didn't realize that I was actually on the radar. My wife turned around and she went, why do you have so many sets? Oh, I didn't realize.
She goes, that's a concern that you didn't realize. I had so many... It's a customer myself and you shit. But I ran booty at SSR.
Sorry, I had auto technique. If you're looking for wheels, booty is probably your man. I mean, custom, he knows what's going on. He got me set at SSR's out of Japan.
Two-piece wheel. Really nice looking wheel. That's all right. We don't want a jinxed bit when you come on.
I'm just like, we've talked about the car. We're going to go there. Where's the multi-band? That's German.
Yeah, that's German. That's German. Yeah, that's German. They got pulled back together.
I got to make to put it back together and he came back and I said, you didn't install the solar panel. And he basically said, that's ridiculous. I threw the bean, I put your car back together. And it's all working again.
It's all working again. It's all working again. It's good for a service. Getting a tow bar fit into that because the one on the range drive was working.
Tomorrow I'm off to a young. A young driving to the country for work. Very nice. So we'll give them a car and a crash.
A new country. It is. Are you wearing Porsche cufflinks with your seven shirts? Yes.
Very nice. Very nice. It's not pink. It's not a seven.
Like the Woolies seven. Off pink. Yes. So I got Porsche cufflinks for the live cars.
It's a boy's assistant. Did everyone lose his hand? That's what I'm saying. I had some sad news.
That's why we're recording a bit late this week. My granddad passed away on the weekend. So we're meant to record from the drive so we can heal the revs. The revs put in the vibrations.
We need to do that. What's the car? Brilliant. Yeah.
I was wondering about when I was like four or five years old. He's like, pristine cries like a lant from the 70s. It was made cries like a what? No, metallic blue.
Like a sky blue. Yeah. He used to buy like quirky top of the line cars. Yeah.
He had these cries like a lant. He went to me to be a chief of the small cars. Is that where you got the whole idea of buying a check for a revs? No, no, no.
It's probably one of the experiences I was having later on. I was talking about their coffee machine. The galant. The galant.
It was a food or. I think I'm having one of those. He's having a floor in it. Yeah.
I know she definitely had one of those. So he's got a floor outside. You could fit in it? I think the rust.
This was brand spakers. He's the person he's like. So we thought we were steering up the driveway. We all didn't know he was holding the cereal from a piece.
He could. All those years I thought I was steering. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's one of the early people that got me into cars and been excited about driving a car at such a young age.
And then in the 80s he got him up. That's a bluebird 50th anniversary. He was two and even had ports in the back armrest for headphones. This was like, so good a lark.
Yeah. And then what? Well, because last night we had our pizza, we got to drive. Do you plug your headphones in the back?
Yeah. To listen to the radio. We never tried it. It was pretty sweet.
When I had my pizza, I went in the back of that bluebird. I went the back of that bluebird. Ah, he was really fast. He wanted people on the outside to be wearing your phones.
And then my younger cars took the bluebird and destroyed the diff in that thing. So he then bought a Pulsar SLX. Again, top of the mind Pulsar. SLS.
SLX. So my grandpa is manual auto. No, auto. He liked these four-door, sedan Japanese cars.
I'm a quirky. He kept them pristine. He loved these cars. So great man.
We'll miss him. Yeah. What was your first experience? I remember my dad's brother.
So my dad is not into cars at all. His brother used to race minis and all that kind of stuff. He was always holding up. I remember he worked for the other man.
And he was about five. Did he have the Escort panel fan? I don't know. He had the Ford.
That was a Holden panel. It was any. I can't remember what it was. I remember the first time he put me in the car.
I was five or six or six or six in the front seat. I was going to go, I'm going to go, some ladies. I've got to fly back. It was something.
Oh, like a job. The job was so exciting. The radio at the lights at the top. I think I was so young.
I remember being in this car. I remember sitting on a pillow in the front seat. I see belts. He looks at me and he goes, do you want to go sideways?
I didn't know what he meant. I have no idea what he meant. At Maruba Beach, right at the end, there's a hook turn. It's like a right hand turn when you came in.
He's, I don't know. As a kid, I thought it was the most exciting thing. You rip this van sideways. We hit the car.
We ended up on the grass. He looked at me and went, don't tell your father. But he got me in the cars. I love my cars because of him.
He's all over. He's really just. He's one of those guys. My son Christian is 12 and he's encouraging Christian.
He's a Christian. He's a mentor. I don't want to get out there. So you're uncle still?
Oh, he's so into it. He builds hot rods for people, and he's garage. And he only retied a couple years ago from me. And he's got 67 Mustangs.
He's a cool guy, but everything's old-school, old-school hot rods are old-school buildings. You keep the device that opens up the locks. You can come and give us lessons. Yeah, right now kids.
If you want to break into the new-holder, you need this, this and this. I'll get you a second. I can talk about that because we're talking from the other room. And you'd get a wedge, he taught me how to break into the car with the swissors.
Well, I was there for hours. I was like 14 or 15, he'd take me on jobs. And I'd sit there and let me be like, You should even do it, you should be just learning, he's just practicing and I'm just practicing. And you learn how to keep.
Were you practicing on your own? That's not the closest part. Yeah, it's not the closest part. You'd be able to hook the hook.
If you had the rutulce, I'd have one of the toolkit. It was occasions when kids at school would lock their kids in the cars when we went to the license and be like, oh, we're all still here, sorry, I'll break a few windows when I can do it. That's cool. He was cool.
He got me the cars before. You drive me the event, see now? Nah, he's not going to stand and fail something. But my grandmother's sister, she's the part of this world now, but she was crazy.
She was nuts and I remember getting, I think I've started this door before leaving the house. And she's come on, I'm going to go get some cigarettes. And she gets in the passenger's seat. I was twirling.
I remember my sister, he was in the backseat. She's looking, going, you're in the wrong side. She goes, nope, he's 12. It's a bad time or whatever.
It was 12. It's a bad time you learn how to drive. And I was driving her corolla. She had a corolla with that power steering.
He was, bring your car. And I remember sitting and going, she's for real. She's like, come on down the right. Let's go and drive from my house down the river beach, up to Torrington Road.
There she goes. Now we got along. I was like, she breaks. No, I wasn't.
About 10 minutes in there. I thought I was a rock star. We know it was down. I was there.
Oh, it's great. We used to drive. Oh, 11. Well, we used to leave in a cul-de-sac.
And we used to say, I'm going to give us the cars. Mom, give us the keys to the car so we can just drive up so the water can drive. It was always the key to the water off. So Mom, this is keys on his class move to 11 year olds, driving up a cul-de-sac and back.
And at one stage we had an XF, GIA FEMOC, which had the digital dash. That was the first digital dash. And so yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The bottom would go bigger and greater. The speed only had a 1, so you wouldn't get to 2 for 200. Had a 1 in two other digits. And the trick was, if you could, the cul-de-sac just stopped to a fence.
It was no luck round bit. So the idea was to drag up the hill and hit the brakes and see what the high score. I was 40, no. Yeah, I was 40, no, I broke 51.
You went to the fence. Yeah, no, you went to the fence. So that was an interesting car too. I had no interesting cars.
Really? When you were young. I had no interesting cars. I had no interesting cars.
And I think I was 15 or 16. And most kids, most teenagers at that age, fine, dumb girls, fine, dumb girls. Yeah, basically start the magazine and they buy, don't have cars. Right?
Well, they did. They did. They did. They did the girls at the top of the bar.
Well, we went to a family's house. And I was bored. And one of the guys said to me, he was a bit older than me. And he said, I had to go to the magazines.
And I was like, whoa, go to the magazines. And then he did a dope straight machine. LAUGHTER So here I was. Here I was.
And he got a straight machine. Right? It was like, for a company guy. I was still under zip.
Oh, look at that. That's how bad it was. It was. That was.
I remember the issue. It was in LC Toronto. Oh, Jesus. Well, which is supercharged.
No, it had a supercharged shit engine sticking out of it. He's in the bathroom for up to all minutes. It had his 80s wild, crackets and stuff away. Was a girl trapped out of the bar?
You know, a man in a house. He's a mother found the magazine under his bed and slept in front of all the girls. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then on, I was like, straight machine everywhere. Where? I was at the... Were you buying this frame machine but he was secretly stealing the playboard?
Yeah. Well, you should have bought a bit of a tenure. Yeah, that issue of murder. Yeah.
That's the third day of the film. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, he's just sold the Nintendo game and watches it.
Obviously the first one. Oh, I made other rocks. That was a rock. Yeah.
It's coming out next week. The one with the packet of the walls. Sixes. I did.
That's the condom section. It was always very... Oh, great. I was shortly after that I got a runner.
I got a runner. I dropped as a paint boy. Right? No, it was going.
It was going... It was going... I was now interested in cars and I was by magazines and I started doing all the tickets and all of a sudden he wanted to be in the workshop. Right?
That's cool. Which was good because I actually could raid and do experiments and stuff. So, sort of like raiding instructions and pulling it in. It's not bad.
It was like I just followed the instructions and it gets... It's like it's there. It's telling you what to do. So, I got a paper run.
So what I did was I kicked my money from the weekend and then during the week I told the paper show. You've got the paper show. Right? No.
This was... This was... This was called being an entrepreneur. I don't know.
So what I would do is during the week I'd say because my paper run did nothing originally. I can ask you a question about your paper run. Yeah. It's just time to be a buy.
No. Because that would be really cool. So, what we'll do is I was doing the paper run down the industrial areas which was pretty deep. And I was like I was doing this two hours walk every afternoon and you can sell the papers.
No, you take a bag and you just get paid for what you sold. I was getting like three bucks and I was over it. So, what I did was I... So, what I did was I was like...
So, what happened was I was like... This is the only paper run and because the other ones were all taken by other kids. Now they're into town. So, I had nothing run.
So, I took my time one day and I went to all the factories and there was tip top. Right? Yeah. And I went to all the factories and said, how do you guys need magazines and newspapers dropped off?
You know, every day, once a week. I went to weekly with all that stuff. Next thing you know, I am selling more magazines than newspapers than everyone else. Because I'm...
Hell's rolling up but it's sitting right up there. Mate, they said to search party after me that afternoon because I was about to be back by five. It was like six o'clock. So, all of a sudden I'm doing like 60 bucks a week.
Right? You're selling the top shelf stuff. Right? Because I'm getting a commission for the magazines I sell.
All of these are. Right? Well, I'm selling the women's weekly and all that. But then I got clues.
Right? So, what I said to them, boss Monday, is he sky that wants one of those magazines? He goes, I can't give him to you. Okay.
What? Okay, he wants the... I don't know. So, I said, you've got me in the shop.
