Oh, we're running, it's on, microphone. Dun dun dun dun dun. Guys Ross, Ross is in the honor valley, so... I'm really sick, I'm talking to him, I'm going to steal.
Oh. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, welcome to the old talk car podcast. Hey baby! Hey car now, Ross isn't here again!
Happy Bathurst Day! Happy Bathurst Day! We just spent smaller alert. Depends on getting this and it is, you could watch the race in the last night.
Oh, if you haven't watched the ball of the time, this is up loud and tough. Like, I was at work, so I didn't even know. Oh, and it was on, and then hell turns up with it. Running on in the...
I only watched these days, I've watched the start, and I watched the finish. I watched my first half an hour, and I watched the last hour, because it turned into a sprint race, and guess what, it did this year? It turned into a one-lapse, one-lapse, one-lapse, one-lapse, coming in on lap 160! You could have got a YouTube and came out lap earlier.
How hard is it? I mean, seriously. You drive me to a one-way, it's not like there's oncoming traffic to worry about. Yeah.
How hard is it? Really? We've got a guest today. Lucky us.
Lucky us. Rummy nurses here. From ultra-fine car care. Thank you very much.
Welcome on board, buddy. Thank you, thank you very much. Very excited to be here. You also listened to the podcast?
Wow. LAUGHTER Yeah, I'm really doing that early already. We're getting the barrel, the barrel, and the barrel, and the algorithm. Listen, listen, listen.
No, no, no. Just because last time, Rossity, but it wasn't a listen. LAUGHTER That was a joke. It was a dream.
Welcome, buddy. Thank you very much. How you got? I'm good.
I'm good. Been following your pages and looking at a bit of their history, and especially concentrating on images and what cars have been featured. You look at the pay day up. Oh, you know, I can't help it, but more interestingly enough for me, it's about the different cars that you guys have been speaking about, and where I'll play around with, and some of the exciting cars that you guys would be interested in, and I'm sure some of the listeners would be also keen to learn on, you know, the old, the new that we won't mention, the tech.
I don't think anyone wants to know about electric cars, but what are they? One came with the Corbinos for a while, he's walking around the wallet, which was a wallet. You couldn't send it. I know you drive a car close to Hillyills.
What did you drive? Yeah, I had the opportunity to take out a, I think it was a 2017 Holden GT, GT SRW1. No, no. So, it's the color of your two, it's the color of your eyes.
Yeah, quite a big car. I think one thing that I was very, very surprised about is when I looked at the actual tyres, and I saw it had triphias. Now, if anyone knows about the Pirelli triphias, they normally belong on the track, because they're just, you know, you needed at least an hour to warm them up. The owner of this actual vehicle was like, look, you're going to have to take the keys now and drive it over to your workshop, whatever.
And I said, you know, I don't think my insurance policy covers me for certain things, but you know, it was quite an interesting driver. The lever guinees are triphias too. Correct. Only the...
You have to drive like over three lanes. Yeah, and obviously you've got your temperatures on each tyre. They're completely useless. Yeah.
In say, did they drive? Absolutely. Even just the... If you get the web.
Oh, no, no. Even if it looks like there's a cloud in the sky, it's hard to get. So, because I put the Continental Conti Force on mine after I got it, which is basically the same type of tyre, the tread we're rating and everything else is the same. And I'll tell you now, even on a drive after 20 minutes, 25 minutes on the motorway, 30 minutes, you still didn't have heat temperature.
Yeah, we're good. If you go, you really have to get temperature. What would your car come standard with? Came with the Continental FireP, which is up...
Still a race tyre. No, it's not. No, it's not. That's just a high performance tyre.
That's it. But could you expect the W1 tyres... No, hold on, put on mine. Or HSM.
You have to buy it. You have to buy it. You have to buy it. You have to buy it.
So, the probably the... Yeah, it is... You don't want to go trying anything fancy with those tyres, straight out of your garden. One idea early on last year, and it was nearby to here as well, and he sent it up a curb and bent it up and did all sorts of bad things to it.
Not only have you got no rear grip, you're only a front grip, ain't it? They're not designed to be on crabbie urban roads, and I try to send it sort of around about, you're going to be sending out the curb. When you've sent me some photos, you sweep with some spectacular car crashes? Yes.
Well, one definitely had no front tyres because it was a bodge doing it. Yes, yes. That's a heavy frustration. That's my favourite tennis son.
And he doesn't even Queensland, it's the other... So, it's the steps I had to lose the Queens level in threes. Yes, apparently he wasn't driving, so... It was driving.
I don't know. I was going to say that I was shooting these guys in there, and then they said, give me... Get with a hot car jacket. They were fine mates with him, but the first, I don't know if it's still on...
Another same owner, tried to sell his M3 about a year ago. Yeah. I don't know if he's a tough, but... Can't be too tough.
Can't be too tough. And it's his second one, like he bought a hill-cad earlier. Yeah. So, he gets through his car, like he's like...
You know, you look at some of these sports people, right? And from their tasting cars, you can tell they're just... Fucktides. Oh, that's a scotch off me.
They've got a... Hang on, hang on. He's gone, got a fuck off me. I'm buying an eventador.
Can't say. Yeah, he probably got those. No, it's not going on, Fran. He's gone, I'm not buying a Dodge Demon, right?
Right? It is the home of some of that. Like, come on. And over 300, 300 Aussie on that is...
I mean, you might buy one for your Los Angeles base, because you're going to pay 80 Australian, or 90 Australian, or whatever. You might have wanted a satellite round. In the same... In the same...
In the Compton Open. Oh, it was just... When I saw it, I went... Just...
Yeah, I saw... The first one I saw was in Adelaide last year. Another one actually got stolen out of Melbourne. Yeah, they got...
What do you do with a stolen Dodge Demon? Exactly. It's in Australia. Straight, straight, straight.
Take it to... Not a Dodge Demon. That's it. You're not going to...
What do you do with that? Who do you send it back to the States to get converted back to Lieutenant? Silver for parts of the States. Like, what do you do with it?
I'm sure some Ukrainian mafia boss might want it. Do it get seen right and right. But... Yeah, amazing.
It's not like the old days where... Now, cars are... You can't even start that car without... That you mobilize under the key, every...
The Transponder, all talking to the ECU. So, you can't cut a key for it. I'm sure that you're up and correct those guys. You've got that same background?
Well, there was actual talk about people copying the encryption and stuff. But it's a lot of effort to go through for a Dodge Demon, which if you really wanted to pinch one... You just pinch one in the States where they don't want to. What about the other pick the poor bagger with the Rolls Royce failure?
Oh, yeah. You hit a pole. You're straight into a pole. He did not make the roundabout.
He won't hit the trifters on the front. No, I'm green. Straight out of the shop. But they're the 60-pro-falt refactors because of the...
But looking at that image, how fucking hard did he hit the pole? The front wheel got torn off of a roll. Well, mate, there's like a two and a half-ton car or something. It's a quick car.
For the size and the weight. Yeah. Yeah. But you saw the paint on that?
What about that? No, that was a wrap. They're actually going in from factory now. Actually, I think it might have been painted because with all the mangled stuff, you would have thought you'd see some of the wrap come up.
They come out from factory with matte paint. Yeah. Because a lot of... That black Rolls Royce.
So, Ronnie, ultra-fond car gear. Yeah. So, you must see a lot of paint. You must see a lot of things.
Yeah, see a lot of lot of things. So, first off, I'm a distributor before I'm actually a hands-on guy. I'm dealing with a lot of day-to-day products, but also specialising it in which I think it's probably the world's best paint protection. Yeah.
It's the only self-healing paint protection in the world which can be hand-defined. I started off with the brand which is called Fenlab in 2016, going on to just over three years now. So, they apply a finish over paint protection? Correct, for paint protection.
Yeah. Yeah. And we've actually got something for everything. So, whether it's a matte paint, whether it's a paint protection film, we've got a product for it.
In 2016, probably had two applicators around Australia now coming up to about 40. Okay. So, we've got some more than mine applicator all across the country. Yeah, and getting back to what you said about interesting paints.
I've seen it all. Simple question. Why the fuck do I paint too great extra for metallic paint? Not too fuck.
It's a scam. They put the sparkly things in there. Some manufacturers charge up to nine grand for certain colours. A lot of time is when you've got a factory that's continuously painting certain colours, it's just going back to actually tyres, for example.
You'll notice that, for example, Porsche, we're used to it. I think they've changed now. We're Michelin guys. Right?
And it's the same thing with paint when they do a run in a factory. They're just, you know, obviously the robots have to stick to that specific program. And if they have to do a run of specific amount of paints, which, to be honest, I don't know a lot of people who are using solid paints, a lot of people these days would rather metallic paints, but technically they have to make a change on the run and put you into something. Or put them all into one batch.
So you wouldn't have that Ted barrels with white, red, pink. No. No, that's why when you order, if you go in and you want a special order or something. For a BMW or Mercedes or whatever, they'll say to you, they'll say to you, you know, no nuts.
Because what they're doing is they're putting your car into a run. So they don't go to a dual-ax car match. I don't have a bunnings in the room. No, no, no, just get the glides.
It's just bunnings. Just bunnings. I'm on the other side. It's interesting you mentioned that because I had one of my clients who's a Ferrari collector.
He actually, he bought, like, he's got a 488-pister, 430-scarred, 599. He actually, for his pister, which is, there's a few around now, but that can start off at about 700. And you can go past the mill. So he actually said, you know, like a lot of these guys.
So the options are there. Yeah. And then he had to stop the run and delay his car because he wanted the different striping down the center. Okay.
Right. And it's painted on. It's not a juke. It's not a juke.
It's not a what they call like a vinyl. Yeah. And again, that's the same thing. And then again, on the interior, he wanted different things.
The more factory options and the specialized, the limited number of runs of the car that it is, one, the longer you're going to have to wait. And two, obviously, the more things they need to modify in the factory to cater for your options. And that's the same with paint. Absolutely.
I mean, I've seen some, even that classic 87 roles that I showed you, that has a very distinctive paint. And that's a 32 year old paint original. So we're talking about these expensive cars, Rolls Royce Ferrari. If they got quality paint, can you tell the difference between say the W1, the Commodore versus the Rolls?
Absolutely. But to be honest, it's actually like going to talk about that, I must talk about the numbers that are actually being produced out of the factories now. And it's actually quite alarming from my perspective that, for example, 15 years ago, Ferrari went out and said, sorry, we only produced a thousand cars a year. That's all.
Yeah. They're capturing. I mean, what, the numbers were last year? Nearly 9,000.
Yeah, because of China. New markets. And there's pretty much, there's a friend of mine looking at a 4-8. Fuck me.
And you guys have got rich friends. They're cheap now. It's your ex boss. They've actually been ruining now.
Well, yeah, and that's why he said, I've been saying to him, get a 4-5. Absolutely. Right? So, don't find Ferrari approved, get a 4-5.
We've good speakers, a few around. You know what? The 4-5, it's a good 4-5. It's a good 4-5.
It's a point-bore money and a good 4-8. Yeah. So it's the last of the naturally aspirated engines. It's going to be a 4-5.
And the 3-5 is going to be 3-5. The 4-5 is going to be a 4-5. It's a 6-5, an car08 and then there was an update. Yeah.
Now, you've got the F8 coming out, right? And another one. And then there's another one. So, normally, you had a lifespan, like the 360 was 99 to 0.5.
Yeah, yep. 6 years. In the 4-5. In 6 years, we've had 4-5.
8, and then. 4-8 going for a new car. Yeah. So, the 4-8, the asks the 4-1 out of them.
Because a 4-5, if you're not a Ferrari dealership, that's an 2-U8 list. come on over to the maid the way they're chasing. That's right. So just on that note, on the 458, and this comes back to what you were asking, we actually did some work on a 458 down at Kerles.
And I love when people tell me, no, no, no, it's had PPE from brand new. We put it on and it's nothing wrong with the paint. Typical color, Rossacorzo, and people don't know what Rossacorzo is. It basically means that it's a solid red with the tan interior.
It's the most wanted color. If anyone wants to invest in a Ferrari, that's the color that you get, or the color combo. And that car at the time that we worked on it, which was only about six months ago, and by the way, the paint wasn't perfect. It's an up-to-side.
It's an up-to-side. The car at the time was, I think it was about five years old. Four or five years old, and that car still got $370,000. Now a brand new 480, or close to, with a couple of thousand Ks, if not less.
So these are around that. Yeah. You know what it is? It sounds different.
It still sounds like a Ferrari. Sam, it's not the same as the naturally aspirated motor. Yeah. Yeah.
I actually said to him that there was a really, really well-specced F12. Oh yeah. Right? And the same money as a spare respect.
No, no, no. It was like in the mid-4s, I was 455. Yeah, well, that's good. Right?
So I was actually making the big, all Ferraris, that's it. Now it's going to be about hybrids and turbos. They've got no choice. My favorite is the 599.
That was a good victory. Right. There was one. The GTOs, the special.
And my ultimate favorite is the Super America, with the roof that flew. It's with the big roof. Yeah, there's only my friend Australia. It's a Black 599 Ferrari city at the moment.
And it was at Heismans when I went to see it. Yeah, they had the triphados on it. Yeah, right. And the GTE handling pack.
OK. The upper option car. That's where it would have been. High sixes, maybe a selling front of it, new.
And that was a long time ago. Yeah, and beautiful car. Yeah. It's the sleepily.
Yeah, the way they're through. And talking about them, they've actually gone back in up in value. It's like, and on the 599, there's probably about five GTOs. And then 1.2 or five.
Oh yeah, yeah. The special ones are always up there. So, yeah, and sorry, Pete, going back to what you said about the paints. Yes, on the 458, 100% it's better paint than what they're currently producing.
Because like I said, and that's, I just want to make a point of those numbers that are coming through and the production numbers. Because that is very valid to the point of how quickly can we build a supercar? Now, if you step into the Pagani factory or the Conan sector factory, now this is pure hypercar. And I was actually on the phone.
So Conan said in Sweden just last week. The count? No, one of the guys that works for him, or we're talking about something else I'll tell you offline. And he said to me, actually, you were away a minimum of eight to nine months for your car.
Minimum. They don't do it. They don't do it. They put it on the toilet.
100%. One of the latest, the Conan sector, which would have been built, which is the, well, they say yes go over there. We pronounce it a yes go, which is built in honor of his father as well, is actually on its way to Melbourne. Oh, wow.
Someone's actually purchased. I think it would be about 4.4 million. Nice. Yeah.
So. That's like three types of just two. Oh, actually. Yeah, yeah.
In this market, there's money. Drive away. They're supercar money. And then there's different money.
Yeah. You know, when I walk into law back, so when I walk into Dutton, and Dutton actually took me downstairs to the private collection. And then they actually see. We took a couple of months ago.
I think I saw that. How jump you drop the red one downstairs in general. That doesn't. No, we were distracted off at the ground.
Yeah. There was some serious cars downstairs. Let me tell you. There was some serious section upstairs.
I'll get to imagine. I'll get to imagine. But yeah. And then it's just, you know, unfortunately, you know, Merck paint, for example, is not what it was, what it was, what it was back in the day.
Like I had just probably in the past three or four months, I played around with a E36 M3. Yeah. And it was that I think they call it A to the loop. Yeah.
It came in quite the old, quite tight. Yeah, very tight. And it went back out like it left the actual factory. Is it because of any pollution laws or chemicals?
Yeah. They changed the paint because of. I think that's part of it. But I also think it always comes down to, you look at BMW and Mercedes now.
And no longer is it the days where it's the single country. We're going to build, you know, the cars, all out of the one country this. And that now you've got over, I think, four or five different countries all over the world. You know, like the Xs have been, Mercedes, BMW, X classes, build them out of the States.
The C class, except the AMG stuff. So what humidity and different climate play role? But it's the speed, you know, how and the paint, by the way, has actually dropped to nearly half the thickness. In thickness.
Yeah. And also had the liberty to work on a CL55 from O5. Yep. And that's a good $8,000 car now, isn't it?
I'll tell you why this thing was. It's a tank. Yeah. I think that's just economies of scale.
They're going to. They've got a cost. Most of the people buying those cars and I've got a buzzer. The guy that buys a C200, he doesn't care about the paint he does.
He doesn't. I mean, he doesn't. We've got a boys maybe an S-65 does. Yeah.
But I've been trying to think that there's more paint for the S-65. There's not. There's not. But there isn't.
That I care. It's the same process. You're paying the same factory. Look, I think between myself, specifically at our, you know, I've got a workshop at a car circle, by the way, guys.
And I've seen a lot of different cars actually sort of playing. Thanks, Dan. Don't let us in the car circle. We'll get out of the car.
We'll get out of the car. We'll get out of the car. We'll get out of the car. We'll get out of the car.
We'll get out of the car. But yeah, like we've seen all the different cars in between myself and the applicators. I think it comes down to the care factor and understanding what the customers needs are at the bottom of the car. So, you know, if the customer just wants something slapped on just for the sake of it, well, you need to understand also what their budgets are and really know how to meet the customer expectation.
And I think that's a big issue these days, where at the dealership they might turn around and say, oh, yeah, we can do paint protection and sort of mislead the customer and say it's lifetime warranty. Yeah. But I also let the dealership watch my car. Yeah.
We've actually got a sign on without paint protection. So, do not watch. Yeah. It's, you know, let me go back a step.
If the car comes with thin paint, there's nothing I can do about it. Or can I? So, it's come from the factory. I've driven it away.
I take it to someone like you who's got equipment that can be consistent and you say, oh, it's got this much. It's not very thick. So, like, line. Yeah, paint protection.
Definitely. Obviously, before you apply it, it's not really. Absolutely. Absolutely.
We're protecting the clear coat technically because when we talk about paint protection, we're really not actually the paint, as you guys probably know, just so everybody knows out there. There's three layers. Obviously, the undercoat. Then you've got your actual paint.
Then you've got your clear coat. Now, the paint and the clear coat are the thickest coats or so you think they are. There's actually special measuring gauges that can measure each individual one. Okay.
Now, if it comes in thin, let's say, for example, we've got microns. It comes in at about 30 microns or less. That's pretty much as low as it can go in the new car market. We can add up to 14 microns, which is unheard of in paint protection industry.
When you talk about paint protection film, you're now going up 100 microns, but you're now the cost of that. Oh, yeah. It's not cheap. So, to get into simple, so the undercoat is protecting the metal, maybe 80 corrosion.
That's right. The paint protects the undercoat and gives it the color. The clear coat gives it the shine and brings out the color. You see it is.
And then, so the product that goes on top of that, that's not from the factory, is to protect all those layers. And also give it a bit of, see, with ours, unlike a lot of the other ones out there, a lot of the other paint protections have got what they call SIO2, just to look at Oxide. It's actually old technology. And our product, Fennlabs, has been developed by an actual Nobel Prize winner.
Okay. Richard Fennman. And this actually dates back to the 80s and 90s. And we've actually taken that technology.
Fennlabs got a factory in Chicago. They will not distribute any of their products from anywhere else in the world, except Chicago. And they've now used his knowledge and research. And they've gone with a silica carbide.
Now, silica carbide is one of the strongest minerals in rock known to man. That's actually what's in our product. So that's very important too. Because you want the actual product to look great, glossy, fantastic, but also to, you know, at least handle a bit of, you know, wear and tear and handle a bit of scratch resistance.
And then obviously when we go into our top tier products, which is the self-healing, that can also handle stuff like driving it through these dodgy car washes. As a matter of fact, I put one of the most memorable moments in Sydney was when I worked on McLaren and I actually put two layers of the actual top tier. What's the clarify like? It's thin.
It's thin. But it is quite perfect the way. You know, sometimes I see paint straight out of factor and you still see little grid marks. How much?
When you say it's thin and McLaren's weight and efficiency and downforce and the rest of it, how much is paint, if you measure paint on a car, how much is it weight? Particularly probably about 20 kilos, 25 kilos. Because you think about how much, so when we look at a leader, technically, is about kilo. And when we look at it on a car you're talking about on new cars these days, you're looking at about 20, 25 kilos.
McLaren makes a statement out there to state that we can strip 10 kilos away. So hence we will put less paint on. Most of those cars, a lot of my customers, what they do specifically because they do drive those, track those, they'll at least protect the front end with paint protection film. Okay.
Paint protection film can get quite expensive. One of my guys. Yeah, one of the guys in Melbourne worked on a center, one of the first Australian deliver centers. Yeah, the common Australian.
Yeah, and that one there costs close to 20,000. For paint protection film. Paint protection film. Because the paint protection film, when you look at the center, it's quite complex.
The door has certain amount of pieces, it's almost like a standard one-piece door. Because I know it with Porsche with the GT2s and 3s, like weight reduction is important, and I'll go as far as putting a sticker on one of the other X-plus's cars, then a sticker instead of the Porsche badge on the bottom. Yeah, yeah. So the GT2 RS is known for that?
Yeah. As a matter of fact, while even going way back to the 60s, I actually had the pleasure of working on a 61356V original. Okay. It weighs a little over 700 kilos.
Yeah, okay. Right? Running, I think it was a 1400 engine. But the thing still went.
Yeah. Yeah, $4,000 wooden steering wheel. Yeah. But yeah, they're trying to bring down the way.
But when you look at the cars these days, they're still quite a lot of way. If you get a car that weighs close to a ton, that's actually quite light. Internally, yeah. I mean, we had one of our customers in Melbourne again, the same guy that owns the the center, ordered and waited four years for a specific GT2 RS paid $950,000 for it.
And it's not specifically because he wanted other additional carbon bits put into the actual metal. Yeah, so. So have you driven them at that McLaren that you worked on? I've driven Aema Clareren, a 5.7 before.
And I must say in comparison to the Ferrari 430 that I've driven, a Lamborghini Galado, what else? I've had 360s, Ferraris and Maseratis. I must admit, they're down forcing the amount of control that you have in it. It's just unbelievable.
Did any of the cars disappoint you? But some of you think fuck you'd pay throughout a grand for this piece of shit. There's been a few like that. And I look back and I think to myself, wow, the technology that we had in the early 2000s is still available now.
It's actually been taken out in some of the new cars now. And some of the BMWs these days are quite disappointing to me. Whilst a lot of people rave on about the performance and stuff, obviously I'm talking about the M Series and the higher end stuff, there's quite a lack of technology or the way they look. And you'd expect that over 160k, you would still get that new look.
I'm not talking about a bloody iPad in the middle of the bloody car and no console. But you would expect something that's a nice looking car. I must say that probably one of my favourites in underrated cars is probably the Audi. I'll drive one of those.
How? What special were you? Yeah, I'm driving two. Yeah, I'm driving two of the Audi.
I had that for a day. It was good car. Yeah. Not the 4.2.
That was a nice car. Nice car. And it made a lot of noise about banking in the wrong way. But I was on my own.
Everyone looked around like, oh, look, I did all the birds. Were you in bangs then? No, no, no, we're racing around the city. Oh, OK.
Yeah. But yeah, it's really interesting to see all types of and all walks of the cars. The classics, the D, you know, the Monster V8s, the sometimes I've paid inquiries for hot rods, but it's very hard to work on those cars, especially when you go really paying. Yeah, so the fire down the sign.
Things like that. There was a 57 shed. I think something quite about it. I went and saw it.
And I said, what are you trying to achieve? Because what you're trying to achieve? And that's where I play the role where I can actually outsource and get my special guys across Sydney and just give them the work. At least my brand is still being used.
True. That's good tonight. Yeah. What else have I been?
My oil like came on. Your what? Yeah, I know. I didn't expect to come on at 12,000.
It says I need a lead up. Have you been parking down here? Yeah. Yeah.
But they need to lead us. So I went to, that's weird. I know. Is it a tow though?
Yeah, it's a tow. That's, I mean, even in the... Is your leader of oil? How many cars?
Four thousand. Anyway, so I'll pull that. The manual got the code. Went to a big reputable store.
And it must have been back this day because all the car nuts weren't working today. It was quite a few words. No, you got that guy. No, no, no, no.
It wasn't a guy. It was a lady. I was waiting for my turn and she was on the phone and she said, no, the computer says, this is for a Sabaru out back. Subaru.
Your cousin, it's a bitchy. Those are for a Sabaru. And I'm like, okay, they got the young. We're the slippers working all the bathrooms.
They knew it was gonna be a quiet day. Where barbecues got always busy. I think I've been with barbecues today. Well, they're not just...
No, I didn't go past their movies. Quite funny behind a gallery. I'm a well. That's what I think that, yeah.
I get that with the S3 too. Because... Well, you drive. You got an S3?
Yeah, the 2016 S3. I had a 335 B-mer. I'm really happy with this, especially in the way. I'm trying to pick a fight with the A-mer at the back.
You got car-behaving help? It's on a 5D little S3, is it? Mine. Yeah.
The part makes me show us. You got car-bully. You got car-bully. You got car-bully.
You got car-bully. You got car-bully like a young fella. I pull the Mercedes off to get the car-buzz down. Yeah.
So the guy running is a car-buzzer ready. You can pick them up. So they pull them off there. So I turned up with the Audi to pick them up.
And he goes, he goes, which one's out? It's just an ACNUS, the diesel. He goes, that's not a diesel. He goes, it is a diesel.
Did you have it on UF-O, don't you? Yeah, right. All the apprentices have come out of the workshop. I got a manual.
I got the car-buzzer switched the exhaust off. Yeah. And I got, yeah. It's a diesel.
Which is still really car. It's not, you know, the noise. It doesn't sound like that. It's like the Porsche diesels.
Porsche was adamant to make the diesel engine sound very good. So, they made them sound solid because they kept breaking down. Yeah, yeah. Mine had a lot of lights coming on the dashboard.
No, no, no. But it's your engine was essentially... It's an Audi engine. The same engine as what I've got.
But the single turbo version. Yeah, it is. It's your tour. Well, it's the same engine.
So really the whole thing with the Ablu and that. The cap had Audi on it. The whole issue. The whole issue.
That wasn't an Audi issue. It was a Porsche design issue. What, with the diesel engine in the original Mata? Yeah.
Now, how they ran the Ablu and the lines. The engineering behind it was the issue. Yeah. If you remember my Audi went in for a normal routine service.
Took it to Audi because it said it needed Ablu. Yeah. Yeah. That's fine.
Because you know, I always make it to each service. Picked up the car. Paytastic. Grabbing home.
Next morning started it up. No, Ablu system failure. Maximum range. Blah blah blah blah.
It wasn't even Christmas. The Christmas lights turned out. I'm getting rid of my car. No, you're safe.
No, I took it back straight away. They go, oh, okay. We'll have a look at it for you. So, make this up.
Have these car for my nuts and only dramas with it. So, you guys touched it. Yeah. Now it's going from bad to whatever.
I'm going to take your car to each end of the car. It's a couple of episodes back. I love your car. So, they did have a look at it.
And then they rang me up and they said, um, it's a problem with that. Ablu, when's the last time you filled it up? I go, yesterday. When I got a service boy, you and you filled it up and charged me for it.
And they checked the locks. $9,000 repair. I don't know. Under there.
Well, they freed up my extended warranty, right? Yeah. Right? Well, I extended warranty set to them.
Mate, yours. It's not a failure. The car was serviced by you. Yeah, of course.
Right. And plus the cars like the cars a month out of manufacturers warranty. Yeah, they were copying it. Oh, no, they're still a degree of liability to the manufacturer.
Well, especially when the dealership, like you've got moisture in your red glue. I don't want to be pissed in it. That's what it is to you. Someone was making tea on me.
What time? So how long ago was that? That was last year. They had the car for nearly eight weeks.
You know, good run. You've got to be the coz. Well, they did not give me a coz in car. Yeah, I did.
