Paul Gardner - SpeedBroker: My Dad's cars were so embarrassing I used to duck down in the back to hide. BX, Corolla, Skoda, Mini, Morris Minor S5E1

[00:00:00] Welcome to My Dads Car, enjoy! Welcome to My Dads Car, a podcast discussing our personal relationship with automotive nostalgia. And you know what? It doesn't even have to be about your dad's car. It can be your mum's, your gran's, your parents, guardians or even a neighbour's. If it made an impression, let's talk about it.

[00:00:35] Hello? Oh, no, connecting. Have we broken through? Aha, can you hear me Paul? I can hear you now, yeah. Wonderful, okay.

[00:00:43] I still haven't got used to all this technology. I have really. We've been doing this a year. Yeah, you've kind of called in on the day where it's all gone to shit.

[00:00:50] I know. It's the weather. Blame it on the weather. Hey! I can hear you now. I can hear you. Hey! Yeah. Is it working? Good Lord. Wow. We should make a go at this, Jon.

[00:01:00] We should, shouldn't we? Yeah. Yeah, you should do. Good plan. How are you both doing? Yeah, we're good, thank you. Not too bad, yeah. And yourself? Good, good. Doing okay, yeah. Super duper. But yeah, let's jump into it.

[00:01:11] We're joined by Paul Gardner. And is your business called Speedbroker or is that just your Instagram handle or?

[00:01:17] Yeah, no, that's the business. Yeah, yeah.

[00:01:19] What is it you do? Do you want to give us a quick rundown and then we'll explain how we've come to be in this situation?

[00:01:23] Yeah, of course. We're in, in essence, a concierge service for car collectors and enthusiasts. And we tend to just deal with sales, sourcing and any works that need to be done on cars.

[00:01:37] And we have, I don't know, kind of formed a bit of a base of being people to go to if you've got something unusual, modified, top end, classic, supercar.

[00:01:50] It has kind of gone more that way over the last couple of years. So yeah, it's interesting. Every day is different and it's what I love doing.

[00:01:58] So we'll just keep going until we can't. Yeah. Whereabouts are you based?

[00:02:02] North London. We work from home. Okay. We just work all the way across the UK. Most of our customers are anything from, you know, Cotswolds, mainly sort of south, but we've got clients all over the place, a couple overseas.

[00:02:14] So it's certainly an interesting business. Yeah.

[00:02:17] Fantastic. And John, do you want to pick up the story for the benefit of the tape?

[00:02:20] Yeah. So yeah, we do a sort of car spotting tennis type thing, don't we, on our Instagram just to sort of pad out the content.

[00:02:29] And yeah, I spotted a Citroen BX, I think it was just before Christmas actually, last year.

[00:02:37] Yeah.

[00:02:37] So it was on our feed and yeah, Paul, you stumbled across it, didn't you? And it turns out that you're quite familiar with that car.

[00:02:45] Really familiar with that car. It's really strange because you'll hear as we go through this history of cars, you know, my life in cars is quite exciting,

[00:02:52] but where I've come from is like the most boring background of cars ever. I've had to kind of pick up interest from uncles and, you know,

[00:03:00] whoever's around me because my parents were just utterly dull when it came to cars growing up.

[00:03:05] And that car, funnily, my dad had a BX years ago, a 19 TGD back in 1990, bought it new.

[00:03:11] But this car, I think it was PVC was the number plate at the back. We bought that probably six, seven years ago.

[00:03:19] And that was me approaching him and saying, dad, look, you're so dull when it comes to cars. Let's start buying things that are interesting now.

[00:03:26] You know, this one came up and we went to go and pick it up from a guy who had it 18, 19 years and he was in his 80s.

[00:03:32] Right.

[00:03:33] And he just can't drive it anymore. And every time I drive it, I keep like bashing it into posts and things.

[00:03:37] So I need someone to take it off my hands. And yeah, we went and picked up that car and it was so strange seeing it there.

[00:03:43] But that's what this world is about, isn't it?

[00:03:44] Yeah. Yeah. I think from memory, I did look up the, did the old MOT history checker on it.

[00:03:50] I think it was still pretty low mileage. I think it was like sub a hundred. Maybe I'm wrong.

[00:03:55] I think when we bought it, it was about 55,000.

[00:03:58] Yeah. There you go. Yeah.

[00:03:59] When we bought it, the guy had done no miles over his ownership.

[00:04:02] It was that real typical situation where this guy who's obviously older in years has bought something he liked and was just to-ing and fro-ing from like the local shop until such time.

[00:04:14] I think his wife sort of said, what's this car doing on our drive? It's just silly.

[00:04:18] So yeah, it was very low mileage. I think it was 55 or 57,000 miles.

[00:04:22] We put that one up. Yeah.

[00:04:23] But that's what I've been trying to do over the last few years.

[00:04:26] I've been sort of saying to my dad, listen, you know, you say you're into cars, but history clearly says otherwise.

[00:04:32] So if there's something you do like, let's go out and find it and buy it.

[00:04:37] So the last few years I've been getting my dad to buy all sorts of things, you know, nothing particularly special, but, you know, a TT here and a BX there and a Civic Typeari bought as well.

[00:04:46] Oh, really? Nice.

[00:04:47] When did the BX leave your family? How long ago did he sell it? Do you reckon he sold it to the guy John spotted it with?

[00:04:55] Or quite possibly? Yeah. I mean, I would have actually, I would have dealt with that sale.

[00:04:59] As I say, my dad's one of these people that he's just like, deal with that for me and can't be bothered with this.

[00:05:04] And I don't want to take these photos. And, you know, he's got other things to do.

[00:05:09] So I would have dealt with that. And I can't actually remember who we sold it to.

[00:05:12] But from memory, it was an enthusiast and it was someone who knew everything about a car.

[00:05:17] You know, we didn't have to do much. It was like, this is the car for sale.

[00:05:20] Come and look. And he knew everything.

[00:05:22] So he was an enthusiast. Quite possibly it was him. Where did you see it, John? Was it in London?

[00:05:28] No, well, South East London near Sidcup. I was taking my youngest to the doctors, actually.

[00:05:33] And it was just outside the surgery there. So I'm assuming, I think it was in a disabled bay from memory.

[00:05:39] It could well be. It could well be. I mean, I think it's one of those cars that I can't see owners parting ways like that.

[00:05:46] It's just not one of those cars. I think if you're going to buy something like that, you know what you're buying and you'll probably keep hold of it for a while.

[00:05:51] It's not an accidental car, is it? It's not like a Focus or a Golf even maybe.

[00:05:55] You just need an A to B run around. Oh, I'll get a Citroen BX.

[00:05:58] Yeah, it's so quirky. And I've got a story actually about when my dad had his first BX.

[00:06:03] It was this 1.9 diesel non-turbo. Even I thought it was slow in 1990 and I was like nine years old.

[00:06:10] But I remember the story took me to this shopping centre, Brent Cross, and he was showing off about the car, about how quirky it was and how French it was.

[00:06:17] And we're in a queue going out and it's just gridlocked going out.

[00:06:22] But you could go the other way and go all the way round.

[00:06:24] But in the middle, it was kind of like a dual carriageway exit.

[00:06:27] There was this really tall kerb. And my dad, he went into the full James Bond man.

[00:06:31] He goes, don't worry, I've got an idea. And he just went to jack up the suspension.

[00:06:35] He lifted the suspension up. And I remember him going, are we going to go over that bump?

[00:06:39] And he starts going over this tall kerb, which was at least double height, at least.

[00:06:42] And he proceeds to sort of off-road it over this kerb.

[00:06:45] And on the way down, it just scuffed so badly.

[00:06:48] This whole plan of escaping, you know, all these sort of boring people in the queue.

[00:06:55] And that was his sort of, he's like, wow, the suspension goes up and the suspension goes down.

[00:06:59] And it was like, OK, cool. Great. Dad's eh?

[00:07:02] Yeah. What's your earliest car memory? If we wind the clock back to the beginning.

[00:07:07] The earliest car memory, I don't know how well I remember the car, but I remember the story being told even when I was very young, three years old.

[00:07:16] And my dad had a Peugeot 504.

[00:07:19] OK.

[00:07:20] And I remember he was doing some work on it outside our old flat or whatever.

[00:07:25] And my brother was in the car messing around.

[00:07:27] And my dad hadn't jacked it, secured it properly.

[00:07:30] And I remember him saying that it'd come off the jacks and rolled down the hill.

[00:07:33] And he chased my brother who was, you know, four or five years old at the time.

[00:07:37] I know.

[00:07:37] To try and stop the car.

[00:07:38] That was probably the earliest memory I remember.

[00:07:40] And I remember the car.

[00:07:41] But I'd say the earliest car I remember was my dad had a gold Toyota Corolla.

[00:07:48] And I think it was a, I've got to get this right, maybe a fifth generation.

[00:07:52] I think it was called the E80, like a square metallic gold car.

[00:07:56] And it was kind of different from, you know, what my neighbours had.

[00:08:01] So I'd say that was probably my earliest memory of a car.

[00:08:05] And even then, again, I thought it was fairly dull, really.

[00:08:09] There was nothing, nothing exciting.

[00:08:11] And so the exciting stuff does start to come through.

[00:08:13] That's my earliest memory, I'd say, car-wise.

[00:08:15] Was he a bit of a sort of French enthusiast?

[00:08:18] Obviously, Toyota aside, but Citroën and Peugeot, a bit quirky.

[00:08:22] He always liked that.

[00:08:23] Like, he used, I think his dream car was a DS.

[00:08:27] And he never, he never kind of, and we talk about this now.

[00:08:29] I say, Dad, if you want to go and buy a DS, you know, you're retired now.

[00:08:33] Go and buy a Citroën DS.

[00:08:34] Yes, I mean, you can still buy them.

[00:08:36] Even, you know, one that's a bit rough around the edges,

[00:08:39] you can probably find one for sub-20,000.

[00:08:42] But that was his dream car.

[00:08:43] And then he always used to go on about the CX and the Safari,

[00:08:46] you know, the biggest state Safari.

[00:08:48] And again, we never kind of got around to that.

[00:08:50] And the BX was kind of the one that was, you know,

[00:08:52] sort of like next best to that.

[00:08:54] But my dad's one of these guys, you know,

[00:08:56] my mum and dad were both hippies, quite quirky.

[00:09:00] My dad was a psychologist, you know, in the 70s.

[00:09:02] It was long hair and flip-flops, you know, full kind of Jesus mode.

[00:09:07] And that was him.

[00:09:09] So there was certainly quirky cars, but there was minis

[00:09:13] and there was Morris Miners and Morris Miner Travellers.

[00:09:17] And I remember them kind of coming and going.

[00:09:19] Yeah.

[00:09:20] So I don't know what they were doing with them,

[00:09:22] but I think they'd buy it and it would rot and they would sell it

[00:09:24] and they'd buy it and it would rot and they'd sell it.

[00:09:26] It was that.

[00:09:27] So take us in the car, I guess.

[00:09:29] Yeah.

[00:09:29] You and your brother are in the car and you're going kind of on a,

[00:09:32] yeah, family trip or maybe a holiday or whatever.

[00:09:34] What's on the radio?

[00:09:35] Yeah.

[00:09:35] What's the atmosphere there?

[00:09:36] Like, it was pretty, pretty cool.

[00:09:38] I mean, I was raised on, you know,

[00:09:40] the music that they sort of submitted me to was pretty cool.

[00:09:44] You know, my dad's idol was like Bob Dylan

[00:09:47] and we had like Bruce Springsteen.

[00:09:49] And, you know, there was some cool 80s rock going on

[00:09:51] and like Don Henley and people like that.

[00:09:54] Yeah.

[00:09:54] Yeah.

[00:09:54] So I remember the music being really good.

[00:09:56] I love that.

[00:09:57] It was just the kind of, I've come on this because I think what's interesting

[00:10:02] is that almost the embarrassment I felt with my parents' cars,

[00:10:06] it made me rebel.

[00:10:08] And I was like, right, well,

[00:10:09] I'm going to get every single car that I possibly want now

[00:10:12] because I was just subjected to such what I thought was horror car wise.

[00:10:19] I remember the memories like, you know, being driven to school

[00:10:21] and kind of, you know, scooping down in the seats.

[00:10:24] I don't want to be seen in this car.

[00:10:26] Drop me off around the corner, dad.

[00:10:28] Yeah.

[00:10:28] And what I did once was when I was about nine or ten,

[00:10:32] we actually moved up to Lincoln for a couple of years.

[00:10:35] And I remember my dad had gone already and the removal truck had gone

[00:10:39] and we were left with my mum.

[00:10:41] My mum had a brown Morris Minor 1000

[00:10:44] and it had this kind of red PVC interior.

[00:10:49] And I actually thought that car was quite cool in an odd way.

[00:10:53] My mum loved it.

[00:10:54] She had a huge smile on her face.

[00:10:56] And we set off to Lincoln and we were going so slow on the motorway

[00:11:00] and I had this little pad and pen and I started doing a tally

[00:11:04] of how many times we were overtaken and how many times we overtook.

[00:11:09] Okay.

[00:11:09] And I think it was in the hundreds for being overtaken.

[00:11:12] And I think we overtook four cars.

[00:11:15] It's this stuff.

[00:11:16] Were they both cautious drivers, your parents?

[00:11:18] I would say so, yeah.

[00:11:19] I would say so.

[00:11:20] My mum still is.

[00:11:22] My mum's still very much a cautious driver.

[00:11:24] My dad, I would say, maybe thinks he's a little quicker,

[00:11:27] but he's really not.

[00:11:28] They obey speed limits.

[00:11:30] And, you know, my dad tells the odd story of when he had a Mini

[00:11:33] and he raced his friend and whatever.

[00:11:35] And I'm thinking, you didn't.

[00:11:36] There's no way you did that.

[00:11:38] That didn't happen.

[00:11:39] But, yeah, it was kind of a strange upbringing with cars,

[00:11:44] I would say.

[00:11:45] But, yeah, the journeys were good.

[00:11:47] The music was good.

[00:11:48] So that's something, right?

[00:11:50] Yeah, definitely.

[00:11:56] Everyone, start your engines and visit Birmingham's NEC

[00:11:59] from the 8th to the 10th of November.

[00:12:01] Yes, it's the UK's premier classic motor show.

[00:12:04] Imagine over 3,000 cars to feast your eyes on,

[00:12:08] not to mention a record 330 vehicle clubs

[00:12:11] and hundreds of exhibiting companies.

[00:12:13] Shop for everything classic.

[00:12:14] You can even buy a car,

[00:12:16] meet motoring celebrities,

[00:12:18] and experience all the action.

[00:12:19] Book your tickets at the NEC ClassicMotorshow.com

[00:12:23] and join our 40th celebrations.

[00:12:30] What was it that lit the spark for you then?

[00:12:32] So, obviously, I guess if you're cowering down in the back of a Toyota Corolla or whatever,

[00:12:36] you've got an awareness that this isn't the coolest car.

[00:12:38] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:12:39] Is it someone at school who'd got a better one or what you'd seen on TV?

[00:12:43] It wasn't school.

[00:12:44] Again, it was around 1990, something like that.

[00:12:48] My dad's brothers were both certainly more petrolheads than he was significantly.

[00:12:54] We went to visit his middle brother, sort of.

[00:12:56] He's the youngest of three brothers.

[00:12:58] So the one who was in the middle, we went to visit him

[00:13:00] and he just bought himself and his wife matching Mark II Golf GTIs.

[00:13:06] Lovely.

[00:13:06] And it was like, there was just one number off.

[00:13:09] It was like H, whatever it was, H381, H382,

[00:13:12] and then the rest of the number plate.

[00:13:13] And they were just sitting outside the house,

[00:13:15] both Tornado Red, I think it is,

[00:13:16] just sitting outside the house.

[00:13:18] And I thought, that looks so, so, so cool.

[00:13:21] Yeah, yeah.

[00:13:21] And then a couple of years later,

[00:13:23] he then went and bought a brand new Cavalier GSI 2000.

[00:13:27] Nice.

[00:13:27] That was the defining moment for me.

[00:13:30] I remember going in that and I was like,

[00:13:32] this is the fastest car on earth.

[00:13:34] And there's nothing faster than this car that exists.

[00:13:37] It was like a rocket ship, that thing.

[00:13:39] That was what really, really boosted it for me.

[00:13:42] Yeah, they go well, the GSI's actually, don't they?

[00:13:44] They sound quite good as well.

[00:13:45] That sort of ignited my love for,

[00:13:47] certainly Vauxhall's it started off with for me.

[00:13:49] So that's how it started.

[00:13:51] Do you recall kids at school with kind of cool cars?

[00:13:54] I remember all the parents had pretty much terrible cars.

[00:13:58] It was terrible.

[00:13:59] This in Brent Cross or in Lincoln?

[00:14:01] No, this was still North London.

[00:14:03] So most of my memories,

[00:14:04] so early memories of cars were pre,

[00:14:06] I was in London up until 10 years old.

[00:14:09] I was then only in Lincoln for two years.

[00:14:11] And then I came back and all my kind of teens years

[00:14:13] were back in London again.

[00:14:15] So it was only two years up in Lincoln.

[00:14:17] But early memories from London were,

[00:14:19] you know, I had friends.

[00:14:20] Mum was Swedish and she was,

[00:14:23] she was a little crazy.

[00:14:25] And she had a Fiat Uno

[00:14:26] and she'd pick us up from school occasionally.

[00:14:28] And we'd just go in the boot

[00:14:30] and we'd face each other,

[00:14:31] my friends, Chris and I,

[00:14:32] and we would just,

[00:14:33] the speeds she would go home,

[00:14:35] just sitting rocking around in an old Fiat Uno boot.

[00:14:38] But it was generally that sort of thing.

[00:14:41] It's pretty terrible cars,

[00:14:43] but certainly the characters

[00:14:44] and the personalities that drove them

[00:14:46] were the thing that you'd really remember.

[00:14:48] So your dad's choice of cars,

[00:14:50] was he sourcing those secondhand back in the day?

[00:14:52] Or was he going to a garage,

[00:14:53] do you think, for them?

[00:14:54] Only the ones like the Citroen BX

[00:14:57] and a few that came later on.

[00:14:59] Again, it was just so bland.

[00:15:01] He then bought like a Nissan Almera.

[00:15:04] He bought that new.

[00:15:05] Okay.

[00:15:05] And then about two years later,

[00:15:07] he then traded it in for a Primera.

[00:15:09] But we're not talking any good models.

[00:15:11] We're talking like two litre auto,

[00:15:13] fairly standard from the outside.

[00:15:14] And I just remember it thinking,

[00:15:16] you can do better than this.

[00:15:18] You're better than this, dad.

[00:15:20] You know, some of those cars

[00:15:21] are considered fairly cool now, but...

[00:15:24] Did you have any influence, Paul,

[00:15:26] back in the day on his car choice?

[00:15:28] Was it only literally in later life

[00:15:30] where you'd been able to sort of

[00:15:31] get a hold on it a bit?

[00:15:32] What was funny is that

[00:15:33] when I then got into cars,

[00:15:34] because I've had a lot of cars,

[00:15:37] silly amount of cars,

[00:15:38] but I would buy something I like.

[00:15:40] And first he'd be like,

[00:15:41] well, what have you bought that for?

[00:15:42] I don't understand why you bought that.

[00:15:43] And then I think slowly

[00:15:44] he kind of came around

[00:15:45] to this whole concept that,

[00:15:47] you know, life's too short

[00:15:48] to drive boring cars.

[00:15:49] And I think he sort of thought to himself,

[00:15:51] I kind of understand

[00:15:52] why you're buying that.

[00:15:54] It was never about materialism for me.

[00:15:56] It was always like the feeling

[00:15:57] that a car gave you.

[00:15:59] I wasn't interested in necessarily

[00:16:01] showing a car off to my mates.

[00:16:02] I was always interested in like

[00:16:03] going on long drives

[00:16:04] and just experiencing a car.

[00:16:07] But there was no influence

[00:16:08] when I was young,

[00:16:09] but certainly the last decade,

[00:16:12] maybe 15 years,

[00:16:13] I think I've influenced

[00:16:14] my dad a lot in cars.

[00:16:16] See, it's been the other way around,

[00:16:17] which is quite strange.

[00:16:19] Nice.

[00:16:19] You say,

[00:16:19] you obviously mentioned

[00:16:20] his kind of sort of bland taste.

[00:16:22] Did he continue with the gold

[00:16:23] for his sort of colours or?

[00:16:25] No, it was always,

[00:16:27] the Nissans,

[00:16:28] I think were the same colour.

[00:16:29] They were kind of this metallicy red.

[00:16:33] Okay.

[00:16:34] Yeah.

[00:16:34] Sort of burgundy red metallic,

[00:16:37] which was an okay colour.

[00:16:38] Sort of like a weak sort of

[00:16:40] blackcurrant squash sort of colour.

[00:16:42] That sort of...

[00:16:42] No, lighter than that.

[00:16:44] Lighter than that.

[00:16:44] Right.

[00:16:45] Okay.

[00:16:46] But yeah,

[00:16:47] like even lighter,

[00:16:48] kind of this kind of odd.

[00:16:49] Yeah.

[00:16:50] I can't really explain the colour.

[00:16:51] Maybe I have one blackcurrant then.

[00:16:52] With a sand interior.

[00:16:54] A sand velour.

[00:16:56] No, I think,

[00:16:57] I think,

[00:16:58] yeah,

[00:16:58] they were grey velour interiors,

[00:17:01] I think,

[00:17:01] for the Nissans.

[00:17:03] But there was never any pattern.

[00:17:05] It was just so disjointed.

[00:17:07] It was like one minute

[00:17:08] there was a little white BX

[00:17:10] and then it would be

[00:17:10] like an old Mini

[00:17:11] and then it would be

[00:17:12] a green Morris Minor Traveller

[00:17:13] and then it'd be a brown Morris Minor

[00:17:14] and then it'd be

[00:17:15] just bouncing around.

[00:17:16] There was definitely no loyalty

[00:17:18] to a brand

[00:17:19] or anything like that.

[00:17:20] It was that,

[00:17:20] that didn't happen.

[00:17:21] And I guess that's probably

[00:17:23] what happened to me

[00:17:24] later on.

[00:17:24] I've got no brand loyalty

[00:17:26] with cars.

[00:17:27] Were they using the vehicles

[00:17:28] for work

[00:17:28] or were they just sort of

[00:17:30] weekend things?

[00:17:31] Andy,

[00:17:32] they were using these cars

[00:17:32] for everything.

[00:17:33] I mean,

[00:17:34] it was dump runs.

[00:17:36] It was like,

[00:17:36] probably use it as a step

[00:17:38] to get up onto a wall.

[00:17:39] It was,

[00:17:39] you know,

[00:17:40] the cars were just there.

[00:17:41] They were just like bricks

[00:17:42] outside the house

[00:17:43] and you'd just,

[00:17:44] you know,

[00:17:44] it'd be anything,

[00:17:46] any run,

[00:17:46] any off-roading,

[00:17:48] anything.

[00:17:48] It didn't matter.

[00:17:49] So very little in the way

[00:17:50] of mechanical sympathy

[00:17:51] as well,

[00:17:51] I guess.

[00:17:52] Well,

[00:17:52] I think they would

[00:17:53] get them serviced

[00:17:54] by the,

[00:17:54] you know,

[00:17:54] the local sort of

[00:17:55] grease monkey mechanic,

[00:17:56] but they weren't seen

[00:17:57] as items that were

[00:17:59] like your freedom

[00:18:00] as such,

[00:18:00] which is strange

[00:18:01] because they were hippies.

[00:18:02] Although I think my mum

[00:18:02] with the Morris Minor,

[00:18:04] she's got this real

[00:18:04] connection to it.

[00:18:05] And I think that was

[00:18:06] her kind of car

[00:18:07] of freedom.

[00:18:08] Yeah.

[00:18:08] And she also talks about

[00:18:09] a Mini she had

[00:18:10] with a little racing

[00:18:11] steering wheel

[00:18:11] when she was much younger.

[00:18:13] She apparently bought it

[00:18:14] off a friend of hers

[00:18:14] at school

[00:18:15] and she was like,

[00:18:16] oh,

[00:18:16] it was amazing.

[00:18:17] I said,

[00:18:17] what was it,

[00:18:17] mum?

[00:18:17] She said,

[00:18:17] I don't know.

[00:18:18] It had this little

[00:18:18] racing steering wheel.

[00:18:20] I was like,

[00:18:20] but what was it?

[00:18:21] She says,

[00:18:21] well,

[00:18:21] it was a Mini

[00:18:21] with a racing steering wheel.

[00:18:23] I was like,

[00:18:23] fine,

[00:18:24] let's leave it.

[00:18:25] Was your dad hands-on

[00:18:26] or your mum

[00:18:26] with cars at all

[00:18:28] in terms of

[00:18:28] sort of

[00:18:28] mechanical side of things?

[00:18:30] My dad would give it a go.

[00:18:31] Yeah,

[00:18:31] my dad would offer

[00:18:32] to get out

[00:18:33] and yeah,

[00:18:38] I think my dad,

[00:18:39] he's a very intelligent man.

[00:18:41] My dad's a psychologist

[00:18:42] or he's now retired

[00:18:43] and he also likes

[00:18:45] to believe

[00:18:45] that his intelligence

[00:18:47] relates to

[00:18:47] the practical side

[00:18:48] as well.

[00:18:49] So he certainly

[00:18:49] knows all the theory.

[00:18:51] Well,

[00:18:51] this is this item

[00:18:52] on a car

[00:18:53] and he would tell me

[00:18:54] he would sit down

[00:18:55] and say,

[00:18:56] you know,

[00:18:56] Paul,

[00:18:56] this is an air filter

[00:18:57] and this is this

[00:18:58] and he would

[00:18:58] he would know

[00:19:00] as to how good

[00:19:01] he was at actually doing it.

[00:19:02] I don't really recall

[00:19:03] but I knew

[00:19:04] he knew about cars.

[00:19:06] He had a knowledge

[00:19:07] which was interesting.

[00:19:08] Any breakdowns

[00:19:09] of note?

[00:19:10] Vehicle or human?

[00:19:13] Several human breakdowns.

[00:19:16] Several.

[00:19:18] I don't remember

[00:19:19] actually being stranded

[00:19:21] by the roadside.

[00:19:23] The only time

[00:19:23] I ever remember

[00:19:24] being stranded

[00:19:25] is in a friend

[00:19:26] of mine called Martin

[00:19:26] where he got stranded

[00:19:27] in his mum's

[00:19:28] Skoda Rapide.

[00:19:30] Fully deserved.

[00:19:31] Yeah,

[00:19:32] in the Hatfield Tunnel.

[00:19:33] Oh no.

[00:19:34] Yeah,

[00:19:34] with just smoke

[00:19:35] billowing everywhere

[00:19:36] and again,

[00:19:36] I'm literally like...

[00:19:37] At least people

[00:19:38] couldn't see you

[00:19:39] if you're in the tunnel

[00:19:39] with a Skoda.

[00:19:42] I'm literally like,

[00:19:43] when is this going to end?

[00:19:44] When is someone

[00:19:45] going to be my saviour

[00:19:46] in the car world?

[00:19:47] It's this,

[00:19:48] you know...

[00:19:49] I told you,

[00:19:49] it's full-on rebellion

[00:19:50] for me.

[00:19:51] It was a full-on rebellion

[00:19:52] how I then ended up

[00:19:53] to do my thing

[00:19:55] with cars.

[00:19:55] So, yeah.

[00:19:56] They cropped up

[00:19:57] in another recording

[00:19:58] we did,

[00:19:58] didn't they,

[00:19:59] recently,

[00:19:59] Andy,

[00:19:59] the Rapide.

[00:20:00] Skoda's,

[00:20:01] yeah.

[00:20:01] And we think

[00:20:02] we kind of came

[00:20:02] to the conclusion

[00:20:03] that that's a car

[00:20:04] that's actually

[00:20:05] sort of come full circle.

[00:20:06] It's probably

[00:20:07] quite trendy now

[00:20:08] or a bit easier

[00:20:09] on the eye

[00:20:10] than it was

[00:20:10] back in the day

[00:20:11] anyway.

[00:20:11] I think it's

[00:20:12] quite iconic now.

[00:20:13] Yeah.

[00:20:13] You know,

[00:20:13] if I see those

[00:20:14] Rapides,

[00:20:15] you know,

[00:20:15] the kind of fastback,

[00:20:16] the coupe with

[00:20:17] slats on the window,

[00:20:19] you're like,

[00:20:19] that actually

[00:20:20] looks quite cool now.

[00:20:21] Yeah.

[00:20:21] But back then,

[00:20:22] it was like,

[00:20:23] you drive a Skoda

[00:20:24] and that's not good news.

[00:20:26] You know,

[00:20:27] I had another friend's mum,

[00:20:28] she had one of them

[00:20:30] Lada Nevers,

[00:20:31] the little,

[00:20:31] the little,

[00:20:32] Yeah.

[00:20:33] 4x4,

[00:20:33] I don't think it was

[00:20:34] a 4x4,

[00:20:35] but that terrible thing.

[00:20:36] Well,

[00:20:36] they did a Neva

[00:20:37] and a Reaver,

[00:20:38] didn't they?

[00:20:38] I can't remember,

[00:20:39] I never remember

[00:20:39] which way around

[00:20:40] they were,

[00:20:40] but yeah,

[00:20:41] one was like a

[00:20:42] sort of three box saloon.

[00:20:43] Yeah,

[00:20:44] yeah.

[00:20:44] And then,

[00:20:45] yeah,

[00:20:45] the other was an off-roader,

[00:20:46] wasn't it?

[00:20:47] Yeah.

[00:20:47] In inverted commas.

[00:20:48] Wasn't a Reaver

[00:20:49] also like a wafer type snack.

[00:20:51] Oh my God,

[00:20:52] mixed up with something there.

[00:20:53] Oh,

[00:20:53] we're just getting mixed

[00:20:54] in the whole 80s snacks now,

[00:20:56] aren't we?

[00:20:57] Yeah.

[00:20:57] Yeah.

[00:20:59] But what I do remember,

[00:21:00] there was some saving graces.

[00:21:02] My granddad,

[00:21:03] he was a jeweler.

[00:21:04] This was my mum's dad.

[00:21:06] He was like the refined one.

[00:21:08] So he would have things like

[00:21:10] the Toyota,

[00:21:11] but he'd have a Toyota Carina

[00:21:12] in grey

[00:21:13] with like fully loaded

[00:21:14] and he'd say,

[00:21:15] it's got everything.

[00:21:16] It's got the sunroof

[00:21:16] and it's got this.

[00:21:17] It's a beautiful car.

[00:21:19] And then he went out

[00:21:19] and he bought a Rover 827Si,

[00:21:24] which was the Honda engine,

[00:21:25] the V6.

[00:21:26] Yeah.

[00:21:26] And that I thought was just,

[00:21:28] I used to,

[00:21:29] he used to pick me up

[00:21:30] and I used to think,

[00:21:30] this is class

[00:21:31] and leather seats

[00:21:32] and you know,

[00:21:33] the walnut trim.

[00:21:34] I thought this is a,

[00:21:35] this is a beautiful car.

[00:21:36] Yeah.

[00:21:36] So I certainly had moments

[00:21:38] where you'd be exposed

[00:21:39] to these other cars

[00:21:40] where you're like,

[00:21:41] I can see what my life could be.

[00:21:43] You dream and say,

[00:21:44] oh,

[00:21:44] this is much better.

[00:21:46] What colour was the Rover,

[00:21:47] Paul?

[00:21:49] Everything my granddad bought

[00:21:50] was like class.

[00:21:52] It was grey

[00:21:52] and it was timeless

[00:21:53] and it was like the best one

[00:21:55] that he could buy.

[00:21:56] I remember my first memory

[00:21:58] of a detailing product

[00:21:59] was my granddad had like,

[00:22:00] he had armour all for the tyres.

[00:22:01] He'd always like put armour

[00:22:03] on the tyres

[00:22:03] and he'd wipe down the tyres

[00:22:04] and he'd always be inside.

[00:22:06] He'd just make sure

[00:22:06] everything was perfect

[00:22:08] on the car.

[00:22:09] And he,

[00:22:09] you know,

[00:22:09] he was that guy.

[00:22:10] He always wore a smart shirt

[00:22:11] and chinos

[00:22:12] and always had a nice watch on

[00:22:14] and kind of like,

[00:22:15] yeah,

[00:22:15] this is,

[00:22:16] he knows what he's doing.

[00:22:17] That was a nice memory,

[00:22:19] you know.

[00:22:19] I do love that era

[00:22:20] of gentlemen.

[00:22:21] I was in the post office

[00:22:22] earlier in the week

[00:22:23] and a chap walked in

[00:22:24] to get his paper

[00:22:25] and he had the full blazer

[00:22:27] on with the suit.

[00:22:28] In fact,

[00:22:28] he didn't even get the paper

[00:22:29] off the shelf.

[00:22:29] The guy that was working there,

[00:22:31] he'd already tucked one

[00:22:32] behind the counter

[00:22:32] and he just sort of

[00:22:33] pulled it out

[00:22:34] and gave it to him

[00:22:34] and then,

[00:22:35] yeah,

[00:22:35] didn't even seem to pay

[00:22:36] for it either.

[00:22:37] He just sort of swanned off.

[00:22:38] I don't know what was

[00:22:38] going on there

[00:22:39] but it must just be the suit.

[00:22:41] Just get away with stuff.

[00:22:43] I know,

[00:22:43] you just get away.

[00:22:44] Yeah.

[00:22:45] So that actually sparks

[00:22:46] another memory.

[00:22:47] So obviously,

[00:22:47] I was a paper boy

[00:22:48] for some years.

[00:22:50] I used to like cling

[00:22:50] onto my money

[00:22:51] for dear life

[00:22:52] and say,

[00:22:52] oh,

[00:22:52] I'm going to save it.

[00:22:53] Slave labour,

[00:22:54] paper boy I always used to think.

[00:22:55] I used to do two rounds

[00:22:56] in the morning.

[00:22:57] Really?

[00:22:57] But I used to deliver

[00:22:58] to this block of flats

[00:23:00] in East Barnet

[00:23:01] and this guy,

[00:23:02] I don't know who this guy was.

[00:23:03] He was like an Italian looking guy

[00:23:05] and he had a Di Tommaso Pantera.

[00:23:07] Oh, wow.

[00:23:08] And I used to deliver to this guy

[00:23:09] and I used to just sit

[00:23:10] outside the block of flats

[00:23:12] and quite occasionally,

[00:23:14] I used to be riding my bike

[00:23:16] like back out down his road

[00:23:17] and I'd hear it just fire up.

[00:23:19] It's just mad,

[00:23:20] like V8 rumble,

[00:23:21] like start up

[00:23:22] and then you just quite often

[00:23:24] like see him,

[00:23:24] it was black

[00:23:25] and it was,

[00:23:26] oh,

[00:23:26] what a car

[00:23:26] and that was my exposure

[00:23:28] of like very exotic

[00:23:30] and it was just in the middle

[00:23:31] of very normal cars.

[00:23:33] Yeah.

[00:23:33] And it just stood out

[00:23:35] like a sore thumb

[00:23:35] and that's that kind of,

[00:23:37] that first thing was like,

[00:23:38] yeah,

[00:23:38] I want to be that guy.

[00:23:39] You know,

[00:23:40] he was probably some,

[00:23:41] I don't know what he was

[00:23:42] but he looked the part.

[00:23:44] Yeah.

[00:23:45] Yeah.

[00:23:45] What a cool car.

[00:23:46] Very.

[00:23:46] Especially back then as well,

[00:23:47] like you stick it in

[00:23:48] sort of the mundane surroundings

[00:23:51] of all the other vehicles

[00:23:52] on the road.

[00:23:52] Like you say,

[00:23:53] it sticks out like a sore thumb.

[00:23:55] Yeah.

[00:23:55] And these things,

[00:23:56] I think these are those

[00:23:57] defining times

[00:23:58] where I think,

[00:23:59] I don't actually know

[00:24:00] how old you guys are.

[00:24:02] I'm 41.

[00:24:03] Fine.

[00:24:03] 39.

[00:24:04] So we're the same era.

[00:24:05] I'm 43.

[00:24:06] So let's just say 40-ish.

[00:24:08] Yeah.

[00:24:09] Sorry,

[00:24:09] John,

[00:24:09] you're over the hill,

[00:24:10] mate.

[00:24:10] Yeah,

[00:24:11] no.

[00:24:11] Yeah.

[00:24:12] Clean on.

[00:24:12] I'm in my 30s still.

[00:24:14] And we didn't have Instagram.

[00:24:16] We didn't have any exposure

[00:24:18] to all these car shows

[00:24:19] where there's thousands

[00:24:20] of photos

[00:24:20] of luxury cars

[00:24:22] and quite often

[00:24:22] we'll see a supercar

[00:24:24] or a classic car

[00:24:24] and we've seen it

[00:24:25] a hundred times before

[00:24:26] even when we see it

[00:24:27] in the flesh.

[00:24:28] We know the owner,

[00:24:29] we know the car.

[00:24:30] Yeah.

[00:24:30] And back when

[00:24:31] our generation

[00:24:32] were sort of entering

[00:24:33] double digits

[00:24:34] in our lives,

[00:24:35] if we saw something

[00:24:36] like a Ferrari 348

[00:24:38] go by,

[00:24:39] it was like a unicorn.

[00:24:40] It was like

[00:24:41] the most magical experience

[00:24:42] you could ever have.

[00:24:44] Yeah, yeah.

[00:24:44] And to see that Pantera,

[00:24:46] it seemed so unattainable.

[00:24:48] Like it just seemed

[00:24:48] completely worlds apart

[00:24:50] and the generation

[00:24:51] now don't have that magic.

[00:24:53] They don't have that now.

[00:24:54] Yeah, it's true.

[00:24:55] Which I think is a shame.

[00:24:56] It's like it jumped

[00:24:57] out of a packet

[00:24:58] of Top Trumps

[00:24:58] and it was there.

[00:24:59] That's kind of as close

[00:25:00] as you got to it really

[00:25:01] or yeah,

[00:25:02] I guess if you were reading,

[00:25:03] were you reading

[00:25:04] car magazines

[00:25:04] back in the day

[00:25:05] as a kid or?

[00:25:06] Yeah, I'd grab car magazines

[00:25:07] and I had quite a few.

[00:25:09] I used to ask

[00:25:10] for those very big

[00:25:11] bumper books

[00:25:12] which I've got now.

[00:25:12] I've got one

[00:25:13] called Power Cars

[00:25:14] and Supercars of the 80s

[00:25:15] and I've got these big

[00:25:16] huge Bible books

[00:25:18] of cars

[00:25:18] and I would just read them

[00:25:20] for hours and hours

[00:25:21] and I would point out

[00:25:22] to my dad,

[00:25:23] look at this car

[00:25:23] and look at that car

[00:25:24] and I think he would

[00:25:25] kind of be like,

[00:25:26] yeah, it's great,

[00:25:26] fantastic.

[00:25:28] I've now got an 11-year-old

[00:25:29] who's completely obsessed.

[00:25:31] He's got his own

[00:25:32] TikTok page up

[00:25:33] and obviously

[00:25:33] he's exposed to

[00:25:35] all sorts of things

[00:25:36] so yeah, I think

[00:25:37] I'm cultivating

[00:25:38] a monster there.

[00:25:39] I remember back

[00:25:40] you might have had

[00:25:41] the same, you guys.

[00:25:42] I remember having

[00:25:43] one of those little

[00:25:44] sort of pocket books

[00:25:45] that you'd take in the car

[00:25:46] and it would have like...

[00:25:47] An iSpy, is it?

[00:25:48] Yeah, yeah.

[00:25:49] It's like...

[00:25:49] You'd have like a ticket offer.

[00:25:51] It had points as well,

[00:25:51] didn't they?

[00:25:52] It'd start off

[00:25:52] with like a mundane,

[00:25:53] like a Rover

[00:25:54] and then, yeah,

[00:25:56] the top one would be

[00:25:57] a McLaren or something

[00:25:58] like ridiculous.

[00:25:59] Yeah.

[00:25:59] That's all you're saying now

[00:26:00] if you took that out

[00:26:01] it'd be, well, who cares?

[00:26:03] I've just...

[00:26:03] I think it's a shame.

[00:26:04] I think it's a shame

[00:26:05] because even my 11-year-old,

[00:26:07] I'm trying to make him

[00:26:08] as humble

[00:26:09] as he possibly can be

[00:26:10] but he obviously

[00:26:12] comes to a lot of events

[00:26:14] and shows with me

[00:26:15] and he's been out

[00:26:16] and experienced

[00:26:17] so many things

[00:26:18] and he'll talk about

[00:26:20] certain cars

[00:26:21] as if they're just

[00:26:21] completely boring

[00:26:23] and average

[00:26:23] and I have to stop him.

[00:26:25] You know,

[00:26:26] one of my cars

[00:26:27] that I love the best

[00:26:28] I've got an M4 competition.

[00:26:29] I adore it.

[00:26:30] I'm not going to sell it.

[00:26:31] It's a very unique,

[00:26:32] rare colour

[00:26:33] but he almost

[00:26:34] sort of talks about that

[00:26:36] like it's a bit average

[00:26:37] and I'm kind of like,

[00:26:39] stop, stop.

[00:26:40] You have to appreciate

[00:26:41] this older stuff

[00:26:43] and he does.

[00:26:44] He certainly,

[00:26:45] the 80s cars

[00:26:46] and 90s cars

[00:26:46] he's got a real passion for

[00:26:49] but it's the exposure.

[00:26:52] It's not normal

[00:26:53] but social media

[00:26:54] will give you the impression

[00:26:56] that it certainly is

[00:26:57] and I really want to try

[00:26:59] and instil into him

[00:27:00] that he's got to

[00:27:01] find his passion with cars

[00:27:02] whether it be old,

[00:27:03] new,

[00:27:04] cheap,

[00:27:04] expensive

[00:27:06] and really just kind of

[00:27:07] stick to it

[00:27:08] and whatever he's exposed to

[00:27:10] he's got to understand

[00:27:11] it's special.

[00:27:12] It's a special moment.

[00:27:13] There's a lot of,

[00:27:14] especially in London,

[00:27:15] a lot of kids

[00:27:15] they just nip up

[00:27:16] to Knightsbridge now

[00:27:17] don't they

[00:27:17] and just look at all the supercars

[00:27:19] and all sort of oil money

[00:27:21] and stuff up there.

[00:27:22] Yeah.

[00:27:22] It doesn't do it for me personally.

[00:27:24] Like you were saying

[00:27:24] I think

[00:27:25] you're saying you're not really

[00:27:26] into sort of the flashiest stuff

[00:27:28] but how the vehicle

[00:27:29] makes you feel

[00:27:30] certainly be more

[00:27:31] up my street as well

[00:27:32] rather than

[00:27:33] a bright yellow Lamborghini

[00:27:34] or something.

[00:27:35] Yeah,

[00:27:35] I think that that's

[00:27:36] certainly

[00:27:38] there are so many good cars

[00:27:39] that aren't expensive.

[00:27:41] There are so many good cars

[00:27:43] and

[00:27:43] the more that

[00:27:44] the younger generation

[00:27:46] understands

[00:27:47] this

[00:27:47] the fact that

[00:27:48] we could go out

[00:27:49] with a tenner's fuel

[00:27:51] back in

[00:27:52] you know

[00:27:52] 99 or 2000

[00:27:54] or whatever it was

[00:27:55] and we would just have

[00:27:56] the best time

[00:27:57] in a car

[00:27:57] that even

[00:27:58] was known as performance

[00:28:00] but by today's standards

[00:28:01] is pretty poor.

[00:28:02] Yeah, yeah.

[00:28:03] Which it would still be

[00:28:04] such an experience.

[00:28:05] It was

[00:28:06] it was that feeling

[00:28:07] rather than

[00:28:07] let's go and get

[00:28:08] the most expensive thing

[00:28:09] that will make you feel good.

[00:28:11] No,

[00:28:11] what makes you feel good

[00:28:12] is a really cool car

[00:28:13] be around your mates

[00:28:15] doesn't have to be expensive

[00:28:17] make it your own

[00:28:18] that will make you happy.

[00:28:19] That's what I think anyway.

[00:28:21] It was almost a

[00:28:22] kind of a business case

[00:28:24] for the opposite

[00:28:24] of like a supercar agency

[00:28:26] isn't there?

[00:28:26] We need to kind of a fleet

[00:28:27] of Mark 3 Cavaliers

[00:28:28] where people can just

[00:28:29] hire one for the day

[00:28:30] take their kids out

[00:28:31] in them and kind of go

[00:28:32] this is

[00:28:33] this is a taste of reality son

[00:28:34] this is what you're missing out.

[00:28:36] I'm looking over

[00:28:37] at my wife

[00:28:38] and she's my business partner

[00:28:40] so we've started

[00:28:41] on the side

[00:28:41] to go with our business

[00:28:42] we've started a company

[00:28:43] called Project Nostalgia.

[00:28:45] Okay,

[00:28:45] sounds right up our street.

[00:28:46] Yeah.

[00:28:47] And we want to do just that

[00:28:48] we want to just find

[00:28:49] some really unusual

[00:28:51] weird stuff

[00:28:52] we've got to find a place

[00:28:53] to put them all

[00:28:54] and we're just going to start

[00:28:56] buying them up

[00:28:57] and the first thing

[00:28:57] we bought for that

[00:28:58] was I found a little MG ZR

[00:29:00] in a really rare colour

[00:29:01] so how I justified it

[00:29:03] is I said

[00:29:04] look

[00:29:04] my older son

[00:29:05] was 13

[00:29:07] at the time

[00:29:08] I saw this car

[00:29:08] he's now 15

[00:29:10] and I said

[00:29:10] that would be a great

[00:29:11] first car for him

[00:29:12] wouldn't it?

[00:29:13] let's buy that

[00:29:14] you know

[00:29:15] three years early

[00:29:17] and so now

[00:29:18] yeah we've got that

[00:29:19] and we're

[00:29:19] I'm trying to do work

[00:29:21] with him on it

[00:29:21] and teach him

[00:29:22] how to maintain it

[00:29:23] and it's also

[00:29:24] a cool car for us

[00:29:25] it's great

[00:29:26] when I go out

[00:29:26] and that

[00:29:26] it's lovely

[00:29:27] little memories

[00:29:28] and you know

[00:29:29] put your garage

[00:29:30] on the stereo

[00:29:31] and you're there.

[00:29:32] that's quite a nice idea

[00:29:33] there Andy

[00:29:34] I like that

[00:29:34] buying up a fleet

[00:29:35] of 80s and 90s vehicles

[00:29:37] experience though

[00:29:38] yeah I'm not going to get

[00:29:39] that one past

[00:29:41] take the kids

[00:29:41] for a wimpy

[00:29:42] on the way home

[00:29:43] or something like that

[00:29:44] if you can find one

[00:29:44] exactly

[00:29:45] yeah

[00:29:46] so that's something

[00:29:47] that we're working on

[00:29:48] over the next

[00:29:49] two, three, five years

[00:29:51] we'll start adding

[00:29:52] little interesting things

[00:29:53] and we're not

[00:29:53] we're not after anything

[00:29:54] specific

[00:29:55] but the idea will be

[00:29:57] that we'll try and buy them

[00:29:58] and then

[00:29:59] we've kind of got

[00:30:00] a few partnerships

[00:30:01] with people who

[00:30:02] source things for TV

[00:30:03] and film

[00:30:04] okay

[00:30:04] and if we just get

[00:30:05] nice examples

[00:30:06] of these cars

[00:30:07] that were once

[00:30:08] very popular

[00:30:08] you never know

[00:30:09] it might become

[00:30:10] a business to hire

[00:30:11] and rent out

[00:30:12] for film shoots

[00:30:13] and stuff like that

[00:30:14] yeah

[00:30:15] that's the plan

[00:30:16] that's the plan

[00:30:17] sounds good

[00:30:17] yeah I think it's nice

[00:30:18] that type of company

[00:30:19] does exist

[00:30:20] that you can go

[00:30:20] and kind of get

[00:30:21] a taster of it

[00:30:22] but yeah

[00:30:22] not everyone does

[00:30:23] want to go

[00:30:24] and drive a supercar

[00:30:25] do they

[00:30:25] and can they afford

[00:30:27] to do that either

[00:30:27] so

[00:30:28] no I think you know

[00:30:28] things like

[00:30:29] Saxo VTRs

[00:30:30] and 205s

[00:30:31] and things like

[00:30:32] 306 GTI 6

[00:30:33] you know

[00:30:34] I have one of them

[00:30:34] almost new

[00:30:35] they meant so much

[00:30:37] to me

[00:30:38] back then

[00:30:38] and I think

[00:30:40] that there's plenty

[00:30:41] of people

[00:30:41] that would have

[00:30:42] lost out

[00:30:42] on the opportunity

[00:30:43] to have one

[00:30:44] back then

[00:30:45] and just think

[00:30:46] it's quite a lot

[00:30:46] to try one of them out

[00:30:47] yeah yeah

[00:30:48] and if I think

[00:30:49] that there's got

[00:30:50] to be many people

[00:30:51] like me

[00:30:52] that think the same

[00:30:53] and I think

[00:30:54] that's our

[00:30:55] end goal

[00:30:55] I think

[00:30:56] is to work

[00:30:57] work more

[00:30:58] on that

[00:30:59] building up

[00:30:59] a sort of

[00:31:00] a collection

[00:31:00] of interesting

[00:31:01] vehicles

[00:31:01] I think

[00:31:02] that's what

[00:31:02] we're going

[00:31:02] to do

[00:31:03] I used to

[00:31:03] buy and sell

[00:31:04] so much

[00:31:05] not to

[00:31:05] make a profit

[00:31:06] I just used

[00:31:07] to try something

[00:31:08] for a few months

[00:31:09] buy something

[00:31:09] else

[00:31:09] buy something

[00:31:10] else

[00:31:10] there was a few

[00:31:11] cars that I

[00:31:11] had real

[00:31:12] close links

[00:31:12] to but

[00:31:13] most of them

[00:31:14] were just

[00:31:14] I've tried

[00:31:14] that out

[00:31:15] I want to

[00:31:15] try something

[00:31:15] else out

[00:31:16] now

[00:31:16] but my

[00:31:17] attitude

[00:31:17] now

[00:31:17] I've got

[00:31:18] ADHD

[00:31:19] so my

[00:31:19] attitude

[00:31:20] now is

[00:31:21] slow down

[00:31:22] find the

[00:31:22] things you

[00:31:23] want to keep

[00:31:24] and keep

[00:31:25] them

[00:31:26] it's a bit

[00:31:27] of therapy

[00:31:27] for me

[00:31:27] as well

[00:31:28] so it's

[00:31:30] helping

[00:31:30] yeah 90s

[00:31:31] hot hatch

[00:31:32] experience

[00:31:32] or something

[00:31:33] would be

[00:31:33] pretty cool

[00:31:33] you see I

[00:31:34] grew up

[00:31:34] around all

[00:31:35] those cars

[00:31:35] but I've

[00:31:36] done the

[00:31:36] opposite to

[00:31:36] you almost

[00:31:37] I've

[00:31:37] hoarded

[00:31:37] cars to

[00:31:38] the point

[00:31:38] where I

[00:31:38] just keep

[00:31:39] them until

[00:31:39] they fall

[00:31:40] apart

[00:31:40] or just

[00:31:41] for five

[00:31:41] six

[00:31:41] seven

[00:31:42] years

[00:31:43] and I've

[00:31:43] never driven

[00:31:44] a 205

[00:31:44] GTI

[00:31:45] I've driven

[00:31:46] Mark 1

[00:31:46] GTI

[00:31:46] Cabaret

[00:31:47] actually

[00:31:47] Mark 2

[00:31:48] Astra

[00:31:48] GSI

[00:31:49] I don't

[00:31:54] a runway

[00:31:54] here you

[00:31:56] go

[00:31:56] like you

[00:31:56] can

[00:31:57] drive

[00:31:58] supercars

[00:31:58] but something

[00:31:59] that's

[00:32:00] aimed at

[00:32:01] our era

[00:32:01] and then

[00:32:02] maybe you've

[00:32:02] got the

[00:32:03] next step

[00:32:03] up

[00:32:06] or Evo

[00:32:07] or whatever

[00:32:08] when I

[00:32:09] started

[00:32:11] driving

[00:32:11] straight away

[00:32:13] I was

[00:32:13] like

[00:32:14] I'm

[00:32:14] just

[00:32:15] going to

[00:32:15] buy

[00:32:15] as many

[00:32:16] cars

[00:32:16] as I

[00:32:16] can

[00:32:17] to

[00:32:17] experience

[00:32:17] and I

[00:32:18] did

[00:32:18] that

[00:32:18] I

[00:32:18] literally

[00:32:19] went

[00:32:19] through

[00:32:22] a

[00:32:23] tick

[00:32:24] it

[00:32:24] was

[00:32:25] this

[00:32:25] whole

[00:32:25] ADHD

[00:32:25] thing

[00:32:26] my

[00:32:26] dad

[00:32:26] diagnosed

[00:32:27] me

[00:32:27] when

[00:32:27] I

[00:32:27] was

[00:32:27] in

[00:32:27] my

[00:32:28] early

[00:32:28] 20s

[00:32:28] I

[00:32:29] didn't

[00:32:29] actually

[00:32:29] know

[00:32:30] I

[00:32:30] had

[00:32:30] all

[00:32:31] this

[00:32:31] I

[00:32:31] used

[00:32:31] to

[00:32:54] point

[00:32:54] no

[00:32:55] genuinely

[00:32:58] nothing

[00:32:58] I'm

[00:32:59] trying to

[00:33:00] get him

[00:33:00] at the

[00:33:00] moment

[00:33:01] this is

[00:33:01] my

[00:33:01] latest

[00:33:02] plan

[00:33:02] so

[00:33:03] he

[00:33:03] went

[00:33:03] down

[00:33:04] the

[00:33:04] whole

[00:33:04] motorhome

[00:33:05] route

[00:33:05] and

[00:33:05] he

[00:33:05] bought

[00:33:06] himself

[00:33:06] his

[00:33:06] motorhome

[00:33:07] a few

[00:33:23] years

[00:33:24] and

[00:33:24] I

[00:33:25] was

[00:33:25] trying

[00:33:26] everything

[00:33:27] for him

[00:33:27] to buy

[00:33:27] this

[00:33:27] car

[00:33:28] and

[00:33:29] he

[00:33:29] would

[00:33:29] see

[00:33:29] a

[00:33:29] few

[00:33:29] and

[00:33:30] they

[00:33:30] were

[00:33:30] kind

[00:33:30] of

[00:33:30] in

[00:33:30] his

[00:33:30] budget

[00:33:31] and

[00:33:32] I

[00:33:32] would

[00:33:32] say

[00:33:32] please

[00:33:32] make

[00:33:33] a

[00:33:33] move

[00:33:33] on

[00:33:33] it

[00:33:33] please

[00:33:34] and

[00:33:35] he

[00:33:35] ended

[00:33:35] up

[00:33:35] with

[00:33:35] his

[00:33:35] motorhome

[00:33:36] but

[00:33:37] him

[00:33:37] and

[00:33:37] my

[00:33:37] mum

[00:33:37] have

[00:33:38] just

[00:33:38] recently

[00:33:38] moved

[00:33:39] and

[00:33:39] I

[00:33:40] think

[00:33:40] there's

[00:33:40] a

[00:33:40] plan

[00:33:54] that's

[00:33:54] what

[00:33:54] I'm

[00:33:54] pushing

[00:33:55] for

[00:33:55] I'm

[00:33:55] pushing

[00:33:55] for him

[00:33:56] to buy

[00:33:56] an

[00:33:56] NSX

[00:33:56] will

[00:34:00] it

[00:34:00] work

[00:34:01] I don't

[00:34:01] know

[00:34:01] I don't

[00:34:02] know

[00:34:02] whether

[00:34:02] I can

[00:34:02] convince

[00:34:03] him

[00:34:03] but

[00:34:03] I'm

[00:34:03] going

[00:34:04] to

[00:34:04] give

[00:34:04] it

[00:34:04] my

[00:34:04] all

[00:34:04] he's

[00:34:05] going

[00:34:05] to

[00:34:05] buy

[00:34:05] this

[00:34:05] car

[00:34:07] I

[00:34:24] 40s

[00:34:24] possibly

[00:34:25] early

[00:34:25] 40s

[00:34:26] but

[00:34:26] I

[00:34:26] still

[00:34:27] think

[00:34:27] you

[00:34:27] can

[00:34:27] get

[00:34:27] a

[00:34:27] reasonably

[00:34:28] priced

[00:34:28] one

[00:34:28] now

[00:34:29] when

[00:34:29] the

[00:34:29] market

[00:34:30] obviously

[00:34:30] then

[00:34:30] starts

[00:34:31] to

[00:34:31] turn

[00:34:31] and

[00:34:31] interest

[00:34:32] rates

[00:34:32] go

[00:34:32] down

[00:34:32] I

[00:34:33] don't

[00:34:33] think

[00:34:33] we've

[00:34:33] got

[00:34:34] much

[00:34:34] of

[00:34:34] an

[00:34:34] opportunity

[00:34:35] to

[00:34:35] get

[00:34:35] anything

[00:34:35] interesting

[00:34:36] I

[00:34:36] think

[00:34:36] we've

[00:34:36] probably

[00:34:37] only

[00:34:37] got

[00:34:37] a

[00:34:37] few

[00:34:37] year

[00:34:38] window

[00:34:38] and

[00:34:38] everything

[00:34:38] interesting

[00:34:39] is going

[00:34:40] to go

[00:34:40] crazy

[00:34:40] that's

[00:34:41] my

[00:34:41] opinion

[00:34:42] interesting

[00:34:42] yeah

[00:34:42] I have

[00:34:43] to

[00:34:43] start

[00:34:44] stockpiling

[00:34:45] need

[00:34:46] a

[00:34:46] bigger

[00:34:46] drive

[00:34:46] honestly

[00:34:47] Andy

[00:34:47] if

[00:34:48] you're

[00:34:48] after

[00:34:48] something

[00:34:49] I

[00:34:49] think

[00:34:50] this

[00:34:50] next

[00:34:51] year

[00:34:51] is

[00:34:52] the

[00:34:52] time

[00:34:52] to

[00:34:52] make

[00:34:52] a

[00:34:53] move

[00:34:53] I

[00:34:53] genuinely

[00:34:54] do

[00:34:54] because

[00:34:54] there's

[00:34:55] stock

[00:34:55] out

[00:34:55] there

[00:34:55] there's

[00:34:55] things

[00:34:56] to

[00:34:56] buy

[00:34:56] if

[00:35:15] you

[00:35:16] and

[00:35:16] then

[00:35:16] a

[00:35:17] few

[00:35:17] years

[00:35:17] down

[00:35:18] the

[00:35:18] line

[00:35:18] it

[00:35:18] might

[00:35:18] get

[00:35:19] to

[00:35:19] the

[00:35:19] point

[00:35:19] where

[00:35:20] other

[00:35:20] financial

[00:35:21] things

[00:35:22] in

[00:35:22] your

[00:35:22] life

[00:35:22] are

[00:35:22] taking

[00:35:23] a

[00:35:23] bit

[00:35:23] of

[00:35:23] whack

[00:35:24] so

[00:35:24] you

[00:35:24] might

[00:35:25] have

[00:35:25] to

[00:35:25] compromise

[00:35:25] and

[00:35:26] sell

[00:35:26] a

[00:35:26] toy

[00:35:27] here

[00:35:27] and

[00:35:27] there

[00:35:27] that's

[00:35:28] what's

[00:35:28] happening

[00:35:28] now

[00:35:28] there's

[00:35:29] much

[00:35:30] more

[00:35:30] pressure

[00:35:30] on

[00:35:31] a

[00:35:31] lot

[00:35:31] of

[00:35:31] people

[00:35:31] financially

[00:35:32] I'd

[00:35:32] say

[00:35:32] even

[00:35:33] the

[00:35:33] top

[00:35:33] end

[00:35:34] of

[00:35:34] the

[00:35:34] market

[00:35:34] I'd

[00:35:35] say

[00:35:35] there's

[00:35:35] people

[00:35:36] that

[00:35:36] have

[00:35:36] got

[00:35:36] finance

[00:35:37] loans

[00:35:37] leverage

[00:35:38] whatever

[00:35:38] it

[00:35:38] might

[00:35:38] be

[00:35:39] that

[00:35:39] they're

[00:35:40] now

[00:35:40] costing

[00:35:40] a

[00:35:41] lot

[00:35:41] more

[00:35:41] and

[00:35:41] they're

[00:35:42] thinking

[00:35:42] to

[00:35:42] themselves

[00:35:42] well

[00:35:43] let's

[00:35:43] have

[00:35:43] a

[00:35:43] look

[00:35:43] at

[00:35:43] what's

[00:35:44] physical

[00:35:44] and

[00:35:45] I'm

[00:35:45] not

[00:35:45] using

[00:35:45] very

[00:35:46] much

[00:35:46] and

[00:35:47] it'll

[00:35:47] often

[00:35:47] be

[00:35:47] something

[00:35:48] they bought

[00:35:48] in the

[00:35:48] last

[00:35:48] couple

[00:35:49] of

[00:35:49] years

[00:35:49] through

[00:35:50] Covid

[00:35:50] or

[00:35:51] maybe

[00:35:51] just

[00:35:51] before

[00:35:52] and

[00:35:52] certainly

[00:35:53] that's

[00:35:53] a lot

[00:35:53] of

[00:35:53] the

[00:35:53] cars

[00:35:53] that

[00:35:54] we're

[00:35:54] getting

[00:35:54] on

[00:35:54] the

[00:35:54] market

[00:35:54] at

[00:35:55] the

[00:35:55] moment

[00:35:55] cars

[00:35:55] that

[00:35:55] are

[00:35:55] surplus

[00:35:56] not

[00:35:57] being

[00:35:57] used

[00:35:58] that's

[00:35:58] what

[00:35:59] we're

[00:35:59] finding

[00:35:59] we're

[00:35:59] being

[00:36:00] asked

[00:36:00] to

[00:36:00] sell

[00:36:00] on

[00:36:01] people's

[00:36:01] behalf

[00:36:01] it's

[00:36:02] interesting

[00:36:03] and

[00:36:04] like

[00:36:04] I

[00:36:04] say

[00:36:04] it's

[00:36:05] not

[00:36:05] going

[00:36:05] to

[00:36:05] last

[00:36:05] forever

[00:36:06] I

[00:36:06] think

[00:36:06] it

[00:36:07] will

[00:36:07] turn

[00:36:07] back

[00:36:08] on

[00:36:08] its

[00:36:08] head

[00:36:08] again

[00:36:08] and

[00:36:09] the

[00:36:09] trajectory

[00:36:10] for

[00:36:10] these

[00:36:10] cars

[00:36:11] will

[00:36:11] start

[00:36:11] going

[00:36:12] to

[00:36:12] the

[00:36:12] upside

[00:36:12] I

[00:36:27] sorry

[00:36:27] darling

[00:36:28] we're

[00:36:28] downsizing

[00:36:30] tell

[00:36:32] me

[00:36:32] about

[00:36:32] it

[00:36:32] that's

[00:36:33] what

[00:36:33] I

[00:36:33] keep

[00:36:33] saying

[00:36:34] we

[00:36:35] need

[00:36:35] more

[00:36:35] space

[00:36:35] we can

[00:36:36] buy

[00:36:36] a small

[00:36:36] house

[00:36:37] outside

[00:36:38] and

[00:36:39] then

[00:36:39] that

[00:36:39] space

[00:36:39] can

[00:36:39] house

[00:36:40] cars

[00:36:41] they're

[00:36:41] assets

[00:36:42] right

[00:36:42] that's

[00:36:43] the

[00:36:43] kind

[00:36:43] of

[00:36:43] thing

[00:36:44] we're

[00:36:45] going

[00:36:45] for

[00:36:46] we

[00:36:47] don't

[00:36:48] even

[00:36:48] use

[00:36:48] that

[00:36:49] dining

[00:36:49] area

[00:36:49] let's

[00:36:50] just

[00:36:52] slip

[00:36:53] a

[00:36:54] pander

[00:36:54] in

[00:36:54] there

[00:36:54] or

[00:36:54] something

[00:36:55] we'll

[00:36:55] get

[00:36:55] some

[00:36:55] trays

[00:36:56] we can

[00:36:56] watch

[00:36:56] telly

[00:36:56] and

[00:36:57] eat

[00:36:57] on

[00:36:57] our

[00:36:57] laps

[00:36:58] yeah

[00:36:58] it's

[00:36:58] cozy

[00:37:00] but

[00:37:00] you guys

[00:37:01] though

[00:37:01] what would

[00:37:01] you make

[00:37:02] a move

[00:37:02] on at the

[00:37:02] moment

[00:37:03] if it was

[00:37:03] something that

[00:37:04] you were

[00:37:04] looking at

[00:37:04] what would

[00:37:05] you make

[00:37:05] a move

[00:37:06] on

[00:37:06] it's

[00:37:07] I don't

[00:37:08] know

[00:37:08] to be

[00:37:08] honest

[00:37:08] I'm

[00:37:08] into

[00:37:08] Porsches

[00:37:09] I've

[00:37:09] got a

[00:37:09] 944

[00:37:12] so I

[00:37:12] like the

[00:37:13] transaxle

[00:37:13] Porsche

[00:37:14] I like

[00:37:14] the

[00:37:14] 996

[00:37:16] but

[00:37:16] the

[00:37:16] problem

[00:37:16] I've

[00:37:17] got

[00:37:17] with

[00:37:17] that

[00:37:18] sort

[00:37:18] of

[00:37:18] level

[00:37:18] of

[00:37:18] vehicle

[00:37:19] is

[00:37:19] I've

[00:37:19] not

[00:37:19] got

[00:37:19] an

[00:37:19] income

[00:37:20] to

[00:37:20] support

[00:37:20] ownership

[00:37:20] you can

[00:37:21] afford

[00:37:22] to get

[00:37:22] into

[00:37:22] one

[00:37:23] but

[00:37:23] then

[00:37:23] you

[00:37:23] can't

[00:37:23] necessarily

[00:37:24] afford

[00:37:24] to

[00:37:24] maintain

[00:37:26] I've

[00:37:26] got

[00:37:26] a

[00:37:27] VW

[00:37:27] background

[00:37:28] so

[00:37:28] your

[00:37:29] Mk2

[00:37:29] GTI

[00:37:29] is

[00:37:29] probably

[00:37:30] a

[00:37:31] decent

[00:37:31] staple

[00:37:31] for me

[00:37:32] because

[00:37:32] I

[00:37:49] it's

[00:37:49] a bit

[00:37:49] different

[00:37:50] but

[00:37:50] I've

[00:37:50] always

[00:37:51] fancied

[00:37:51] a

[00:37:51] catering

[00:37:51] that

[00:37:52] something

[00:37:52] along

[00:37:52] those

[00:37:53] lines

[00:37:53] but

[00:37:53] I've

[00:37:54] got

[00:37:54] a

[00:37:54] stupid

[00:37:54] car

[00:37:54] that's

[00:37:55] a

[00:37:55] really

[00:37:55] stupid

[00:37:56] car

[00:37:56] to

[00:38:19] and

[00:38:19] I'd

[00:38:20] turn

[00:38:20] up

[00:38:20] to

[00:38:20] meetings

[00:38:21] and

[00:38:22] fall

[00:38:22] out

[00:38:22] the

[00:38:22] side

[00:38:22] of

[00:38:23] the

[00:38:23] car

[00:38:23] in

[00:38:23] a

[00:38:23] suit

[00:38:23] and

[00:38:24] then

[00:38:24] I'd

[00:38:24] go

[00:38:24] back

[00:38:24] to

[00:38:24] it

[00:38:49] investment

[00:38:49] point

[00:38:49] of

[00:38:49] view

[00:38:50] and

[00:38:50] the

[00:38:50] point

[00:38:50] that

[00:38:50] I

[00:38:51] made

[00:38:51] was

[00:38:52] I

[00:38:52] always

[00:38:53] think

[00:38:53] the

[00:38:54] 46M3

[00:38:54] is

[00:38:55] at

[00:38:55] a

[00:38:55] point

[00:38:56] now

[00:38:56] where

[00:38:56] it

[00:38:56] can't

[00:38:57] go

[00:38:57] any

[00:38:57] lower

[00:38:57] even

[00:38:58] for

[00:38:58] a

[00:38:58] half

[00:38:58] decent

[00:38:58] one

[00:38:59] you

[00:38:59] know

[00:38:59] you

[00:38:59] can't

[00:39:00] get into

[00:39:00] it

[00:39:00] for

[00:39:00] 15

[00:39:00] grand

[00:39:01] can't

[00:39:01] you

[00:39:01] 15

[00:39:01] to

[00:39:02] 20

[00:39:02] grand

[00:39:02] which

[00:39:02] for

[00:39:03] what

[00:39:03] you're

[00:39:04] getting

[00:39:04] is

[00:39:04] really

[00:39:05] good

[00:39:05] but

[00:39:06] the

[00:39:06] point

[00:39:06] I

[00:39:06] was

[00:39:06] making

[00:39:06] was

[00:39:19] I

[00:39:19] think

[00:39:20] people

[00:39:20] have

[00:39:20] been

[00:39:20] saying

[00:39:20] for

[00:39:21] five

[00:39:21] years

[00:39:21] maybe

[00:39:22] even

[00:39:22] more

[00:39:22] this

[00:39:23] is

[00:39:23] the

[00:39:23] time

[00:39:24] to

[00:39:24] get

[00:39:24] involved

[00:39:24] they're

[00:39:25] going

[00:39:26] up

[00:39:26] but

[00:39:27] not

[00:39:28] really

[00:39:28] I

[00:39:29] haven't

[00:39:29] crept

[00:39:29] that

[00:39:30] much

[00:39:30] of

[00:39:49] be

[00:39:49] honest

[00:39:49] I've

[00:39:50] had

[00:39:50] a

[00:39:50] few

[00:39:50] manuals

[00:39:51] that

[00:39:51] manual

[00:39:51] box

[00:39:52] is

[00:39:52] not

[00:39:52] great

[00:39:52] I

[00:39:53] agree

[00:39:53] I'm

[00:39:53] going

[00:39:54] to

[00:39:54] be

[00:39:54] so

[00:39:55] controversial

[00:39:55] now

[00:39:55] it's

[00:39:56] quite

[00:39:56] tractor

[00:39:57] like

[00:39:57] it's

[00:39:57] got

[00:39:57] a

[00:39:57] really

[00:39:57] long

[00:39:58] throw

[00:39:58] if

[00:39:58] it

[00:40:19] the

[00:40:19] paddles

[00:40:19] that

[00:40:20] tends

[00:40:21] to

[00:40:21] be

[00:40:21] a

[00:40:21] better

[00:40:22] way

[00:40:22] of

[00:40:22] using

[00:40:22] it

[00:40:23] yeah

[00:40:23] 100%

[00:40:24] I

[00:40:25] rate

[00:40:25] them

[00:40:25] and

[00:40:26] they

[00:40:26] differ

[00:40:26] massively

[00:40:27] you

[00:40:27] can

[00:40:27] get

[00:40:27] into

[00:40:27] one

[00:40:27] you

[00:40:27] think

[00:40:28] this

[00:40:28] car

[00:40:28] drives

[00:40:28] rubbish

[00:40:29] and

[00:40:30] then

[00:40:30] I

[00:40:30] had

[00:40:30] one

[00:40:31] in

[00:40:31] not

[00:40:31] long

[00:40:31] ago

[00:40:31] we

[00:40:31] did

[00:40:32] a lot

[00:40:32] of

[00:40:32] work

[00:40:32] on

[00:40:32] it

[00:40:32] an

[00:40:33] estral

[00:40:33] blue

[00:40:33] one

[00:40:34] and

[00:40:34] the

[00:40:34] box

[00:40:35] was

[00:40:35] so

[00:40:35] good

[00:40:36] it

[00:40:36] was

[00:40:36] quick

[00:40:36] it

[00:40:36] was

[00:40:36] a

[00:40:37] pleasure

[00:40:38] it

[00:40:38] wasn't

[00:40:39] skittish

[00:40:39] in

[00:40:39] traffic

[00:40:40] I

[00:40:41] if

[00:40:41] you

[00:40:41] get

[00:40:41] the

[00:40:41] right

[00:40:41] car

[00:40:42] forget

[00:40:43] about

[00:40:43] the

[00:40:44] convertible

[00:40:44] again

[00:40:44] I've

[00:40:44] had

[00:40:44] a

[00:40:45] few

[00:40:45] of

[00:40:45] them

[00:40:45] and

[00:40:45] chalk

[00:40:45] and

[00:40:46] cheese

[00:40:46] the

[00:40:46] coupe

[00:40:46] and

[00:40:46] the

[00:40:47] convertible

[00:40:47] so

[00:40:48] get

[00:40:48] a

[00:40:48] coupe

[00:40:49] but

[00:40:49] in

[00:40:49] terms

[00:40:49] of

[00:40:49] the

[00:40:49] box

[00:40:50] you

[00:40:50] get

[00:40:50] a

[00:40:51] good

[00:40:51] SMG

[00:40:52] I

[00:40:52] wouldn't

[00:40:53] go

[00:40:53] to

[00:41:09] a

[00:41:11] like

[00:41:11] manuals

[00:41:11] but

[00:41:12] I

[00:41:12] haven't

[00:41:12] driven

[00:41:12] a

[00:41:13] manual

[00:41:13] for

[00:41:13] 10

[00:41:13] years

[00:41:14] really

[00:41:14] yeah

[00:41:15] I

[00:41:16] only

[00:41:16] got

[00:41:16] one

[00:41:16] leg

[00:41:17] now

[00:41:20] exactly

[00:41:20] yeah

[00:41:21] I'm

[00:41:22] a

[00:41:22] big

[00:41:22] Porsche

[00:41:22] fan

[00:41:23] as

[00:41:23] well

[00:41:23] Andy

[00:41:23] I'm

[00:41:24] a

[00:41:24] big

[00:41:24] Porsche

[00:41:24] guy

[00:41:25] and

[00:41:25] I'd

[00:41:26] buy

[00:41:26] a

[00:41:26] PDK

[00:41:38] I

[00:41:41] when

[00:41:41] it's

[00:41:41] all

[00:41:41] firing

[00:41:41] on

[00:41:41] cylinders

[00:41:42] the

[00:41:43] MCT

[00:41:43] box

[00:41:44] and

[00:41:44] Mercedes

[00:41:44] C63

[00:41:45] they're

[00:41:46] all

[00:41:46] so

[00:41:47] good

[00:41:47] that

[00:41:48] I

[00:41:48] love

[00:41:49] the

[00:41:49] manual

[00:41:49] experience

[00:41:50] but

[00:41:50] certainly

[00:41:51] if

[00:41:51] you're

[00:41:52] using

[00:41:52] it

[00:41:52] for

[00:41:53] mixed

[00:41:53] uses

[00:41:53] if

[00:41:54] it's

[00:41:54] going

[00:41:54] in

[00:41:54] and

[00:41:54] out

[00:41:54] of

[00:41:55] town

[00:41:55] the

[00:41:56] manuals

[00:41:56] get

[00:41:56] tiring

[00:41:57] very

[00:41:57] quickly

[00:41:57] it gets

[00:41:58] boring

[00:41:58] unless

[00:41:59] you're

[00:41:59] on

[00:42:11] the

[00:42:11] day

[00:42:11] it

[00:42:11] was

[00:42:11] almost

[00:42:12] like

[00:42:12] a

[00:42:12] train

[00:42:13] you

[00:42:13] had to

[00:42:14] slowly

[00:42:14] wait

[00:42:15] for

[00:42:15] it

[00:42:15] to

[00:42:15] waft

[00:42:15] through

[00:42:16] the

[00:42:16] gears

[00:42:16] it's

[00:42:17] so

[00:42:17] bad

[00:42:18] always

[00:42:19] fun

[00:42:19] with

[00:42:19] all

[00:42:19] the

[00:42:20] old

[00:42:20] autos

[00:42:20] like

[00:42:20] some

[00:42:21] of

[00:42:21] the

[00:42:21] old

[00:42:21] beamers

[00:42:21] I

[00:42:21] used

[00:42:21] to

[00:42:22] drive

[00:42:25] the

[00:42:28] rear

[00:42:33] axles

[00:42:33] falling

[00:42:34] off

[00:42:34] every

[00:42:41] in

[00:42:42] the

[00:42:42] village

[00:42:42] used

[00:42:42] to

[00:42:43] live

[00:42:43] where

[00:42:43] they

[00:42:43] had

[00:42:43] flint

[00:42:44] walls

[00:42:45] so

[00:42:45] just

[00:42:46] get

[00:42:46] the

[00:42:46] driver's

[00:42:47] window

[00:42:47] down

[00:42:47] and

[00:42:48] drop

[00:42:48] a

[00:42:48] gear

[00:42:48] and

[00:42:48] it

[00:42:49] would

[00:42:49] sound

[00:42:49] awesome

[00:42:50] but

[00:42:50] yeah

[00:42:50] you're

[00:43:11] you

[00:43:11] just

[00:43:11] move

[00:43:11] and

[00:43:12] that's

[00:43:12] it

[00:43:12] you're

[00:43:12] in

[00:43:12] gear

[00:43:13] it's

[00:43:13] like

[00:43:13] you

[00:43:13] didn't

[00:43:13] need

[00:43:13] these

[00:43:14] giant

[00:43:14] things

[00:43:15] like

[00:43:15] this

[00:43:15] click

[00:43:15] click

[00:43:16] and

[00:43:16] the

[00:43:16] jag

[00:43:17] ones

[00:43:17] like

[00:43:17] the

[00:43:19] horseshoe

[00:43:19] down

[00:43:21] and

[00:43:21] round

[00:43:21] you know

[00:43:23] it's

[00:43:23] fun

[00:43:40] you

[00:43:41] in

[00:43:41] the

[00:43:41] future

[00:43:41] hopefully

[00:43:42] i'll

[00:43:42] see

[00:43:42] it

[00:43:42] around

[00:43:42] again

[00:43:43] thanks

[00:43:44] paul

[00:43:44] thank

[00:43:44] you

[00:44:14] almost

[00:44:15] addiction

[00:44:15] to

[00:44:15] buying

[00:44:16] cars

[00:44:16] it's

[00:44:17] a bit

[00:44:17] like

[00:44:18] when

[00:44:18] your

[00:44:18] parents

[00:44:19] smoke

[00:44:19] you

[00:44:19] completely

[00:44:20] go

[00:44:20] against

[00:44:20] the

[00:44:20] grain

[00:44:21] isn't

[00:44:21] it

[00:44:21] sometimes

[00:44:22] that's

[00:44:22] what

[00:44:22] he's

[00:44:23] done

[00:44:23] with

[00:44:23] cars

[00:44:23] basically

[00:44:24] the

[00:44:25] mundane

[00:44:25] has

[00:44:25] forced

[00:44:26] him

[00:44:26] into

[00:44:26] not

[00:44:27] being

[00:44:27] mundane

[00:44:27] yeah

[00:44:28] rebelled

[00:44:29] and

[00:44:29] yeah

[00:44:30] the

[00:44:30] idea

[00:44:30] of

[00:44:30] having

[00:44:31] fleet

[00:44:31] of

[00:44:31] sort

[00:44:32] of

[00:44:32] more

[00:44:32] normal

[00:44:33] cars

[00:44:33] for

[00:44:33] people

[00:44:33] to

[00:44:34] borrow

[00:44:34] yeah

[00:44:35] best of

[00:44:36] luck

[00:44:36] with

[00:44:36] that

[00:44:36] i think

[00:44:36] there's

[00:44:37] probably

[00:44:37] some

[00:44:38] mileage

[00:44:38] in

[00:44:38] it

[00:44:38] yeah

[00:44:38] might

[00:44:39] tie in

[00:44:39] quite

[00:44:39] nicely

[00:44:40] to

[00:44:40] the

[00:44:40] event

[00:44:41] idea

[00:44:41] of

[00:44:42] well

[00:44:42] not

[00:44:43] like

[00:44:43] the

[00:44:43] revival

[00:44:44] but

[00:44:44] an

[00:44:44] 80s

[00:44:44] or

[00:44:45] 90s

[00:44:45] version

[00:44:45] of

[00:44:46] it

[00:44:46] yeah

[00:44:46] i think

[00:44:46] guys

[00:44:47] there's

[00:44:47] still

[00:44:47] something

[00:44:47] there

[00:44:47] isn't
