It's been a few weeks. There's going to be lots of
disappointed people, but we're back.
Just couldn't do it without me, could you?
No, that's, I think just because Carl could, wasn't it?
We couldn't do it. We couldn't do it.
Well, welcome back to a bit of Thursday night action with me
and the missus. Carl's joining them, joining in
this, joining us, not joining him.
That's listen, things are tough at the minute with this Labour
government. Like few quids a few quid you.
Know who's paying, though? But we can talk about that,
yeah. Right.
That's enough of that. It's gonna be a lot of that, I'd
imagine tonight, right? For over 10 years I've been
super lucky to have been an owner of a Lamborghini.
Love the brand through and through.
But things have changed. I've not, I'm not sure, sort of
seen the light, but I've I've changed anyway.
And today we're going to talk about what that means and all
about being on the important list of that amazing Italian
super giant brand. And we've got a car with us.
Hello. Hello.
Welcome. So you've been on your, you've
been on your holidays. Yeah, I've been on a bit of a
tour actually. We talked about this podcast
that me and Rob Moore are launching in January and we're
we're getting in, we're getting in a few episodes.
Got a big big clientele list of some big names that are on it.
Now, some of those names a little bit controversial.
What do you what do you expect coming from me?
We're going to do it. We're going to do it, aren't we?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, they're controversial.
They're they're important names. But the thing that everyone that
is featured on my podcast as yourself will be is it's called
Cars and Money. So it's about people who are
very successful and they've transformed their success for
their love of cars as well. So they could be from any walk
of life. And they've just done very well.
And they've said right now I've reached the point where I've got
enough funds to go and buy my dream car.
And they talk about their car journey and, and, and what cars
they've got. And we've got some, we've had
some, some huge dangerous, some great car collections.
Brilliant. And that's out in 345.
Weeks, yeah. So there'll be 1 episode a week.
Not Thursday night at six PMI AM.
Not Thursday night at 6:00 PM. I'll make sure I can't do
Thursday and wouldn't dare do Sunday because of Mr. Armstrong,
but yeah. Right, we're going to talk about
Lamborghini, Lamborghini, Lamborghini, Lamborghini.
Now, as you know, I've been a bit infatuated with Lamborghinis
over the years. As have I.
And. Still am really.
I'm me. Like I think they're absolutely
amazing, but I was sort of like a bit blind sided and didn't
sort of like now I've had a Ferrari and a McLaren, they're
all amazing brands altogether, aren't they?
But so if yeah, we'll talk through the steps of so
basically the big news is, is to be on that sort of like should
we call it VIP list, whatever it's called?
Definitely. Avip.
The list where you sort of get the opportunity to have the
latest car. Because you lose so much money
in the cars that you don't want to have, You get to have the car
that you do want to have. Well, come on, you've seen the
light now. But basically they have a
deposit. OK, So that deposit never ever
comes back to your bank account. So your deposit goes on to the
next car, the next car, the next car.
So I had sort of like some money at the Lamborghini dealership
for a lot of years and I've had that back.
So I'm now officially. Loaded.
Yeah, not enough. To buy car boots though.
No, not yet. But no, I'm out.
I'm out, out. You're out.
So not for any reason, just because I don't know, just
because I don't really fancy anything.
Well, I look at the future of Lamborghini the way they go,
obviously. Look, the first thing you think
about with Lamborghini is V126 litre naturally aspirated doors
go up. That for me is Lamborghini.
Yeah. And now they have moved their
business model into they basically make SU VS and on the
side they sometimes make a sports car.
The cars are still very special, but I just think that 60 to V12
naturally aspirated is gone. It's now a hybrid turbo.
What's it going to be and how many cars are they going to
produce? They're producing so many more
cars now than what they used to do.
You want one. Do I want one?
What a. Lamborghini.
I, I've so in in my journey of my personal cards that I've had,
Lamborghini have been a big part of it.
I I've loved Lamborghini. I should say, do you want a new
one? Do you want 1 today?
All the ones that I've had are the only ones that I would want.
So you don't want one. Now, no, not really, No, no.
I mean I think which. Is amazing, isn't it?
I think the Rolto is beautiful to look at and it's a, it's a
powerhouse, you know, in regards to brake horsepower and
performance, but it just, it doesn't feel like an SVJ, does
it? No.
So would I rather have an SVJ or
a Revuelto rather have an SVJ? I've had numerous SVJS, so now I
go back in time and just have something I've already had.
And that's probably where you're lying, I suppose.
Yeah, I think so. It's sort of, I think you've,
they've as with all cars, they've reached their pinnacle
almost and they're slowly on the decline with sort of like
regulations and box ticking and that sort of stuff.
And I think your 2015 hurricanes and your Lake Gallardos and all
that sort of stuff were just Lake Gallardos, early hurricanes
start the event doors were just absolutely like amazing.
I've got into stock at the minute 2007 Gallardo Spider,
which is 1 owner from New and 9000 Miles.
That's a car. I look at that car now and that
does more for me than what a Rivalto does.
You know, I think, wow, I'm not going to find another one of
them. But it is right.
So this is a question then. Now, is that a Lamborghini
problem or is that a 2025 problem?
I think it's a 2025 problem. I don't think what one thing I
do have to take my hat off to Lamborghini for is they stuck
out the longest before they made the hybrids and before they made
the small engines and like they took it as far as they could
take it. When you think about Ferrari
doing the V6 hybrid cars, Lamborghini was still popping
out V twelves, you know, and I just think they are now an
incredibly successful commercial brand where I kind of loved
Lamborghini when they just say wanted to make cars and they
just sort of didn't care if they made any money.
So you know. Yeah, it's definitely.
But I think that's really difficult though as a brand,
because as a brand you want to be successful and as a a brand
you get bigger. And then when you, when you sort
of become a little less exclusive, you make more money,
but then you lose the specialness.
So to be A, to be a profitable expanding business is always
going to have a demise of how cool that brand is as well.
I mean, I I think they're going to start bringing out a smaller
SUV than the yours. Like a Macan.
I think that's the way a lot of
brands are going now. Bentley have just launched one.
They're going to bring out. Yeah, they're going to, but they
haven't launched it yet, but they've launched.
The SO he's just ruined that. Yeah, so sorry Bentley, but
don't care. They're going to bring out like
150 grand small Bentaga, which is going to do great.
It's going to do really, really well.
And that's then going to promote everybody else to jump on that
bandwagon because now these SU VS have gone from being 150
grand to now a per Sangui is nearly 500.
So they're like, right, we need to get back to the audience that
we we had that we lost because you know, the big difference
between 150 and 500 and let's make them a smaller V 62.9 litre
hybrid SUV and that's what they're going to be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you, you. You're a fan of the EUR, weren't
you? Yeah, it was lovely, but I was
just scared every time I went near a car Par.
Because it's massive. I mean 1 tonight.
Oh, are you? So you're coming.
Yeah, I'm in Euros tonight. I I think they're great.
I think they're a great, lovely car.
Great great car, but like. But how much was each corner if
I scuffed it? Not that I scuff.
You scuff more than me lately, but.
Well, I don't know if we're talking in in monetary value or
in disciplinarist. Do you think yours is a big car?
Yeah. Do you?
Yeah. I think it was bigger to drive I
felt than the G. Yeah, definitely.
Do you think I'll do you? Yeah, it's a bit.
Longer, I think longer because like we've we've had evokes, not
like that's the sort of size like the old X5.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That to me was a great size car.
But now when you're talking Q eights and the new X5 and Q
sevens and the new X5 and stuff, they're just massive.
Everything's huge now like that. I've got that Glada super
legiera. What a great size car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just a cool looking.
Size Cars have got bigger over the last 20 years, haven't they?
I was, we were, I was at a track day yesterday and there was, my
friend had an M2. It's an M3.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's new M2, it's absolutely
massive. So here's a question for you,
Mark. You obviously still love the
brand of Lamborghini. You just don't really like the
way. The model range.
Yeah, that's where they're going.
OK, Although I'm sure they're incredible to drive.
This new Temorario is supposed to be insane, but it just
doesn't do anything for me. What's your top three
Lamborghinis that you'd have in your stable?
Oh, SVJ. OK.
Without a doubt. Sterato.
Do you know what I don't know? Whether?
Or you're not going to say STO, are you?
No, definitely no no, I'd love and always wanted a super tofao.
Like a row a road version super tofao.
I think it'd be so hard to drive though, like on the road that
suspend you. It's a race car.
But like obviously the road legal version count Ash 25th.
Really I. Do have a nice one of those back
in the showroom, you know? It's got to be white.
What I've said to you for years, Wall Street, it's got to be Wall
for Wall Street. It's got to be all white.
OK, and in paces? Yeah, ideally not, but yeah, all
white, all white, that's just. So you wouldn't you wouldn't go
for like a six litre Diablo look at.
That drink of it, though, Look. That's amazing.
It's cool, cool. Cut that is so iconic.
Diablo and Count Ash. The only reason, sorry, the
Diablo and the Mercer Largo, especially the Diablo, it was
just a a cheaper car, but now they're not, are they?
Like they were like a 120 grand and you could have got yourself,
but now that even that's gone now, isn't it?
Yeah, I mean Diablos, I mean I actively sell them for over
300,000 and you know, they're not even they're they're your
sort of your run-of-the-mill ones.
They're just your you you, you know you're your Diablos when
you start getting in the SE 30s six litre Diablos S VS and then
you know, you've got the GT, which is the Holy Grail for me
in in Lamborghini. A Diablo GT is.
Just the is that the one where the back end's about 10 foot
tall and then 2 long pipes? Yeah, and but the the front end,
there's the the the triangle airscreen in the bonnet.
I remember God be about 2003 me dad bought 1 and I went down to
Farnham in Surrey to pick it up and I never, I didn't even know
what a Diablo GT was. And I remember looking at this
thing like this is this is this is unreal.
Can't believe this is made for the road And it was, it was it
was a Le Man car. It was based on the Le Man car
that raced in Le Man for the road.
Was it horrific to drive? Well, I never drove it in 2003
because I was 16, but I did drive one about five years ago
and it didn't make any difference if it was horrific.
To no no like. For me it was.
Like. This is just amazing, you know?
So yeah. Yeah, I definitely don't care if
it's long, clunky and horrible and.
I mean, it's big, you can't see anything, the clutch is awful.
You need 4 feet to change the gear in muscles.
Yeah, you need, you know, the, the, the, the, the pedals are a
foot and a half over to the left.
You're facing to the right like you know.
Punch in the back as. Well, isn't that's just great.
It's great. And that's, but I suppose
that's, you know, that's and I feel like, do you, do you feel
because some of those people's, do you think people are
consolidating their cars? Me and Reese had a conversation
about this earlier. Do you feel like people are
maybe not having as many cars and putting money into more
expenses? This is what I've been trying to
promote to my clients, including you over the last three years
because you're a great example. I'm not going to mention your
cars because I know you've got a lot of cars that people don't
know about, but I know about them and you, you've done really
well with some of the cars you've bought.
You bought them at the right time and, and they're obviously
worth a lot more now than what they were worth when you bought
them. And that's not, that's not luck,
you know, that's judgement. And then I think, right, if you
took that car, that car, that car and that car which you don't
drive and you've never driven, you could go and put that lump
into a Veyron, A Veyron for example.
You know, so and you know, I'd talk to people about space is
the hardest thing for people to acquire at the minute.
You know, a lot of people, a lot of people don't buy a new car
because they haven't got the space.
Well, you have got the space. If you throw me five of your
cars and now you've got one and then potentially I can sell you
another foot or more. But we are trying to actively go
down that route at the minute. Yeah, we are.
Which is yeah, it's, yeah, because I feel like the hybrid
obviously is a thing, but the cost as well, the cost of these
new cars, like everything's 4. Everything's half £1,000,000.
Five. Yes, everything.
Is half £1,000,000 and when did that happen?
But it it seemed to go from like 2:50 to 500, like a year.
There seemed to be nothing in between.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, you look at a
A296 Ferrari, Spider GTS, they call it 296 GTS.
By the time you throw a bit of spec on one of them, you're
looking at 350,000 for the baby, Ferrari for your entry level.
You know that's the baby. Well, say, say like that, that
Ferrari A296, say A10 Merario which has been out two years and
McLaren's What's McLaren 7's 765?
Or it'll be the 7:50. Well, no, actually it won't be.
I mean, I don't I don't get involved in the lower McLaren
models because the build quality isn't isn't good at all on like
the five 70s and the the stuff like.
That is that because if you had to sell him, you have to warrant
him and. Yeah, just a headache.
I can't earn enough money out of them to to have the the the
profit to pay the bills that's going to happen on the car.
Because you've got to do a three months warranty or.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you know, 7 fifties, 76
fives. They are incredible cars, really
good. Cars so say you've got so we've
got that Ferrari, you've got a Lamborghini like all I'm not
talking overs they haven't just. Come out.
I mean, yeah, yeah. Out those brands, which one,
which one would you have because you won and which one would you
have because you're going to lose the least amount?
Of money so let's Chuck in a tamarario am I saying it right
or people are going to comment that I'm a.
No, everybody's commented so far.
So you're all good. So Tamario, we go McLaren 750
and should we Chuck in a Ferrari 296?
Well, they're all going to be residual nightmares.
All of them. All of them are going to be
residual nightmares come two years time.
Yeah. Which one would I have?
I'd probably have the Ferrari. Which is still.
Yeah, because, you know, Ferrari just have that brand where if
shit hits the fan, you've got a Ferrari.
You know, if shit hits the fan with the, the, the, the
Lamborghini, you know, it's, it's, it doesn't feel that.
I don't think Lamborghinis feel like Lamborghinis anymore.
You know, that transition to Audi.
I mean, the car is the car is a big Audi basically.
Yeah, yeah, 100%. And, and when you've driven high
performance Audis and you drive a a hurricane, or if you drive
an R8 plus, B10 plus or a hurricane, it's the same car.
And you can't do that with a Ferrari.
And the lower model McLaren variants are just residual
nightmares thanks to McLaren. And they're good cars, you know?
Yeah, the the downside, which I always said about the old
McLaren and P1 are massively into my cars.
I have no idea which ones which. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know what 6th and Delta is, and I know what AP one is.
All the others, they all look the same to me, which is bad,
isn't it? And they are very similar,
though I can see how that's and you.
You're a car guy. And I don't know what, I don't
know the difference. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you? No, never really been in a
McLaren garage. But if you ask me in 2 years
which car I would rather buy out of those three because I'm
thinking financially I would put my money in the McLaren because
it would be a lot less than the other two and it's a better car
than the other two. Very early, yeah.
Right, Somebody's asking what is the most overrated supercar in
your opinion? The most overrated supercar cars
these days. They're, they're so good and
they're so fast and they're so powerful and they're so usable.
It's it's, it's hard to, it's hard to pick one.
Like for overrated, I would have to say the revolto that you had,
it was amazing, but it wasn't amazing.
That's the thing, there was so many things about that car which
was unbelievable. It's a good call actually.
It was a really, Yeah. Half £1,000,000 for a car that
you know. Like our daughter got locked in
it, the windscreen wipers kept going off on it.
It used to sing like a chorus of frogs every time you passed a
vehicle or somebody walked near. It but it was just that to be
fair to Lambeau, but it it was an early car the the earliest
car and they fixed everything they did but.
And it was amazing, but it was one of those for me, like I get
anxiety like if the fuel gauge is like 1/4 of a tank.
So to go out in that. King Bing bong like oh straight.
Down. Because it gives that warning.
So every time you hear it, you're like, and then look down.
It said something different every time.
And also windscreen wipers would start working.
But it was just an early, it was an early, early car.
Because it was the same with the event doors were the same,
Weren't they early event doors? Early event door is hard work to
drive. You jumped in a an early 2012
Aventador Series 1. My God, that is a pig.
Well, I had an 11 plate, that matte black one, which I had for
the seven or seven, seven years or something.
It was a 15. By the time I'd finished with
it, it had a new engine, new everything.
Like because it was an early car, everything went wrong with
it and everything got replaced. And I'd imagine the the Revoltos
are similar. How do you get on the Lambo
list? Like now you're out.
He's never out now. I'm not.
Yeah, but yeah, yeah, I know. Do you know, I just when I, when
I, when I looked at the money, that money sat there and it's
like, we must say it's like 20 grand.
It's like so much money, so much money.
And it sat there and I'm thinking I could do so much with
that money, pay some bills off, do stuff, which we've.
And I think it's there because I feel like I want the, but what,
what, what do I want? Like the SVJ, I'd love the SVJ
Ravalto but I'm not going to pay 700 grand.
And it will be that. And it's not happening.
I'll drive for have like a yeah, I'm just not going to do it.
I'll drive for have. I'll drive have 7 Gallardo
spiders. Or you would rather throw that
700 grand into a 1520 year old car that's super undervalued and
it'd be worth 1.5 in two years rather than the.
HP Only we could find a car like that.
Well, I could help you do that. But yeah, like it's, that's the
trouble. It's sort of, I feel like I'm
hanging out this thing where it's really sad to say because
all, all the Lamborghini dealers, I've had a great
relationship with Birmingham And the only reason I left
Birmingham was because there was a new dealer opening and I saw a
gap where I could be their best customer because I I could be
their first customer. So the first day they opened or
straight on the phone went and saw them.
Well, what do you lose that? It was 7 Oaks, so Seven Oaks was
born and they didn't have any customers, obviously, like it
was a brand new dealership. So then I became that like, you
know, their best customer because I was their first
customer. And then I kept on.
I had a great relationship with the the salesman.
Brent was amazing like it like add such like such a a good a
good time all through that through that whole sort of like
and and then Greg and like Eloise now like had great
relationships and always had really we've always had really
good times, haven't we? Like the yeah, the people
themselves absolutely brilliant. But then.
It's changed. And and it's just become their
success has almost felt like they've become another corporate
brand. Well, that just said the same
thing, yeah. Rather than this like mad sports
car brand who are crazy and they're all wacky.
And well, look, when I was growing up, I remember, I
remember, vividly remember playing like toy cars with my
brother, right? And we'd have a toy 9/11 toy
Testarossa. I don't know.
We had to flip in. I had a van.
I think I had the Scooby-doo truck.
And and like a toy, a toy Diablo or a contash or whatever, we.
Wouldn't have been allowed to touch them.
Can you imagine you would have been there dusting?
It and like I remember like the the Lamborghini was just
superior like that. That was the superior car.
That's the one that even as a model, even as a model, that one
it had the spoiler, it had the doors.
It looked like a a six year old designed it, you know.
So is that now then? OK then.
So this is an interest one. Is it because the others have
caught up? Have all the others caught up?
Is a McLaren caught up to a Lamborghini now as Porsche?
As Ferrari. Well, McLaren doesn't need to
catch up to anybody because in this day that I'm talking about,
and McLaren was the most expensive, fastest, most
exclusive car in the world, which was the F1, You know, the
F1 was. Did they realise that at the
time? Well, it was their first Rd.
car, you see, So it hadn't been proven as a as as a business, as
a. Road car, was it?
Do you know that? Oh, it's this, this, this
thing's unbelievable now. Was it then?
Yeah. It was.
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was just an astronomically
expensive car. It was.
It was half £1,000,000 in 1994, right?
You know, and it's, it's a new car as far as people were
concerned. They didn't sell straight away.
No, I didn't no, I mean you might remember the glass box in
London. We talked about it when you
bought the P1. Remember the the McLaren F1 that
was just always sat in the glass box in London in, in, in
Mayfair. I think it was a Park Lane.
I think it was Park Lane and there was just A1 car showroom.
It was literally like a glass box.
It just used to have a McLaren with the door, an F1 with the
doors up and like that car sat there for three years.
So no, they didn't sell all of them straight away.
It wasn't a sell out. It wasn't like the Gordon Murray
T50 for example, which they're just bang, they're just gone.
And that's right. This was like, you know, you got
to go and find your customers. Yeah, it's crazy.
So McLaren haven't caught up with anybody because they didn't
need to, but they were just A1 Model 1 model band.
Then after them, after the F1 they they waited.
So 1994 was the F1 and then 2011 was their first production car,
which was the MP412-C, which was a great car, it just it wasn't
finished when they brought it out and everyone had problems.
It's crazy like that because I think I told you we did a poll
when when we're looking at buying that like the P1 and we
obviously put the three, so put Porsche 918, the LaFerrari, the
LA Ferrari. Sorry, we got the.
Thought we've given us the message, Then don't say.
This so, so so yeah, we had the we had the Ferrari, the 918 and
the McLaren. Yeah.
And the most commented, most chosen was the McLaren over the
Ferrari. Yeah, which blew my mind.
But I think it's name association, like McLaren, F1,
Lando, it's all cool, isn't it? What F what McLaren are doing in
F1 at the minute has made the brand a lot cooler than than it
was. But I think because of the F1.
They've got 2 cool drivers. There's McLaren and this
Ferrari. Lamborghini haven't got an F1
team, have they? No, I've never been into that
have. They no, and I think that makes
a massive difference. Maybe we keep like the the youth
of today. But then also, I think that's
why it makes Lamborghini more special, almost like the dodo,
yeah. And I think another thing I
think maybe they've lost a little bit of their specialness
is that you see them like when I went, like, you know, when I
first had my Lambo, like nobody had a Lambo.
You didn't see a Lambo, Nobody you didn't, you never saw one.
Now, if you drive around all day today, you're going to see a
Euros. You're going to Birmingham,
you're going to see, you're going to see 15 Lambos, that's
in Birmingham. You go to London, you'll see 50.
So what changed? What How?
Why I? Think they just start, they
start making more cars. Lamborghini will always, you
know, low numbered cars. If you go back and look at
Mirsilagos and look at how many Mirsilagos were made compared to
an Aventador, It's like chalk and cheese.
It's like, you know, it's chalk and cheese and, you know, it was
like it. And they were so much more money
than Ferraris, you know, for the for the, for an example, a
Ferrari 550 Marinello would have been 130,000 lbs new and a
Marshall Lago would have been 200,000 lbs new.
That's nearly double Yeah. That's crazy.
And you're talking about Ferrari's flagship V12 front
engine. And then that would be the car
that would head to head with Lamborghini's V12.
And it was just so much. It was so, so much more
exclusive. You probably, you probably sold
the car as Aiden Butler. Do you remember Aiden?
He was so he he's he had one around here.
He had a Mercer Largo. And like it was unbelievable.
Like he was the man. Like the man he he married Jodie
Kidd. All right.
I know, Jodie. Yeah, so like he he he married
Jodie. But like, like what an like
seeing that car in person. I remember seeing it outside
Staples in Redditch and I, I didn't leave there for about an
hour. I just sat there just looking at
it. The first, The first merch Lago
we had was a lime green Birdie Ithaca.
It was called lime green with lime green and black inside, but
the middle of the seats were lime green.
It was just the outrage, the bolsters which were about that
big that were black. The car was green like it was
all green and it was absolutely amazing.
And I sold it to Avzel Khan, Khan Design, and I sold it to
him in 2002. And it was like big overlist for
a very expensive car then. And, you know, he's just like,
yeah, he just had to have it. Well, this was dark grey, but
I've got, I've got a message from Paul Bailey in my phone,
325 brand he wanted for an SV Mircelago SV that was only that.
But that was only six years ago. I bought one about that time.
I give 180,000 for it. 180 Grand 100.
And 80 grand. What's that worth now?
Realistically, because you see them advertised for astronomical
figures, they don't make that that that.
They don't make 800,000. They're not worth that.
They're probably worth 500,000 though.
So there's that much of a difference though, because I've
heard this 800 thing jumping around, they said.
Oh yeah, I will. We're on live YouTube, so I
can't say. But yeah, it's nonsense.
It's absolutely nonsense. Will they get there?
You probably. But all that is, is somebody
who's got a car realises that no other cars for sale and gone.
You know what if I could get 800 grand for my car, Sell it.
So it doesn't really want to sell it.
Doesn't it's not for sale like it does it doesn't that car is
not for sale. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just testing the water, right. I think we'd be a bit of news.
Ready for some news? Welcome to this week's news.
Rig up in myself first. Oh, it's massive.
He's positive he got me 10,000 followers on Instagram.
Oh. I've seen this. 10K Jane. 10K
Jane. 10K Jane, congratulations. Literally when she rings me, I
literally go right 10K, yeah, that's all I call her now is
10K. She's in my phone as 10K.
Jane, Yeah. 10K Jane. Yeah, that's amazing.
Good London. I know it is pretty special,
right? But you ruined it because like 2
minutes later you were 10.2. Well, that's not my doing, is
it? So 10K Jane was only about. 20K
hey. Jane, you speak at our
scorecall. 25 P Paula. What?
25 P Paula What did Paula do for 25?
I don't want to. Know.
Oh, I do go on. What?
Do you still have her number 25? What did you used to do?
Now I want to know how old were you when this happened?
I didn't. That was just, I think it was,
do you know, like it was just a bad rumour and that poor girl
got horrifically bullied because of that problem.
I've seen her in Sainsbury's today.
Yeah, like a 25 people. I don't think, Paula.
Inflation had. Been found now, wouldn't it I?
Don't. Think it was even a thing.
I think she just got a a childhood was ruined because
somebody started the rumour. That's really bad.
Yeah, terribly. Bad without 25PS25P.
It is. We ought to make We wouldn't
make a buck, haven't we? So there's gonna be a a pay per
mile on electric vehicles? We talked about this last time.
Didn't we? SO3P and it's going to come from
shortfalls, from petrol tax, surprise, surprise.
And the way that they're going to do it is they're going to do
it through MO 2 mileage checks. I was going to say how?
How can they possibly know how many miles you've done?
How much do they pay per mile for an electric car?
3P It's not enough. I agree they.
Need to up that. I agree they're.
Rookie numbers. But yeah, MOT mileage checks or
a light touch check at one first and second year birthday.
So basically you gotta take your car somewhere to say, prove how
many miles you've done. But how are you gonna know?
What about if you don't sound like it needs servicing?
Yeah, no. But like so it's.
Got recipe for disaster all over.
You've got to work out then at the beginning of the year
exactly what you're going to do. So how many trips to Tesco?
How many? Times you know what electric car
drivers as well. I've got to be so anal about
this. I need to check in in February
because my mileage check because I drive an electric car.
Fuck off. They're not being taxed enough.
Taxed and more. So you'll be asked to
guesstimate and pay upfront in instalments.
Sounds like a road tax then. Yes.
And then at the end of the year, you'll have to confirm the
mileage. So basically what's happened is
I've pushed everyone to electric cars, I've run out of money, so
then they're going to tax them all.
So that's square 1. Best thing for them?
So. So eventually they're going to
drive us all back into SVJS. Yes, thank you.
Talking of which, I came home from work this week, you would
add the SVJ out the garage because you were filming
something and there's a fire extinguisher outside the front
door. It's like, what's that for?
Right into the footage. We got the SVJ out, didn't we?
Race? And she's been parked up for a
while. Yeah, been parked up for a
while. So give it like, let it warm up
like massively because I was like scared because it hadn't
like, you know, it hadn't been turned on.
And we started revving it. The the flames out of the back.
They were coming out like this big.
Like it's going to be it's a car.
They're car collection videos. That's what we've been filming.
So that's all right. OK.
So that's been quite cool. Mercedes G Wagon convertible is
on its way back. I ordered 1-2 days ago.
Did you? Yeah, yes, I have.
Didn't even notice a thing. Yeah.
For Missus Hartley. For Missus Hartley, No.
Why? Because that car in Spain is
with three kids as the greatest. Car that pick, I'd go
convertible every day of the way, would you?
Yeah, yeah, I've ordered it already.
What colour? I've not expect it yet.
I won't expect it. Don't Mitchell.
Don't let Mitchell do it. Lunatic when she when she, and
then you'll buy it. Exactly.
Yeah, I was gonna say make sure it's got the heated steering
wheel. Jane, what spec would you like
her to spec? So there was the one out there.
Cut out the middle one, yeah. Brilliant.
Thank you, Mitzi. Thank you very much.
F1. We're.
Getting close. My money's on Max.
Are you an are you an F1 fan? Do you?
See that massively, Yeah, I love it.
I go to a few of the races a year, love it and I love how
great is it that the last race of the year there could be 3
different. Champions fantastic and.
When was all sudden that happened?
Yeah, because like it does happen a lot in motorsport, but
usually because people are turning up and down cars to make
it. But I don't think that can
happen in FOI think it's naturally become.
That it's going to be amazing. You know, I think Piastry should
have walked away with it a month ago.
Yeah. But he's lost his way.
McLaren are doing all they can to throw it away.
And you know Max doesn't need asking twice.
We know that. And let me tell you this, the
last 10 laps of I don't, I do you know what position they've
all got to finish in for Max to win or.
Lando to win So so basically Lando's on 408, Max on 396,
Lando 392. So basically if Max wins, Lando
has still got to finish on the podium.
OK, so it's very. Doable because the points are so
massive. Indifference because it goes
25181512 so the jumps down are huge.
So if Max wins Lando's fourth, done, Max wins.
Here's one for you with three laps for the end.
We've got Max in first, George Russell's in second, Piastres
third, Lando's 4th. Do they let him past?
Not do they does piastry. That's her name.
Like they will be saying move. Yeah, yeah.
And I don't think, and I don't think he will because you're
bad, because he asked for the place back, if you remember, a
few races ago, which was, by the way, was ridiculous.
But you know, fair play for asking.
What happens in that situation, Are they, are they penalised
like by the team for not doing what they've been ordered to?
Do. Yeah.
Well, yeah, they'll be. Well, I don't know.
Well, you know, Ferrari made it a really common thing.
They would openly give instructions when Michael
Schumacher was driving to like, Ruben's Barrichello, wherever it
was. And they'd be like, look,
Michael's winning the championship, he's 58 points
ahead with one race to go. You still want to move out of
the way. You know, like he's they just
done that. And then a law got sort of sort
of an unspoken law that it wasn't, you know, team, yeah,
team can give orders, but, you know, it's sort of frowned upon
if they do. But I think Zac Brown will be on
the blower on them last three laps saying to be Ashley, listen
to me. We're not going to find you.
We are going to pay you. You need to move.
Yeah, it'd be amazing. And you just know like what Max
is capable of. But would you want to?
But let's, let's now put yourself in Lando's position
now, Yes, to be a Formula One world champion is an incredible
achievement in life. I mean, there's only 22 people
in the world do it. To be the champion is is
incredible, especially this day and age.
Is is so is so competitive. But would you want to lift the
trophy because your teammate moved over and let you?
It's definitely not as special, is it?
Of course it's not. Takes the edge off here.
So, you know, there's it's going to be amazing.
Depends what the prize money is as well though.
Yeah. 25 piece, 25 P. Where's she at, Paula?
Right, moving on, there's beef at the moment between Alex
Gonzalez, who's a YouTube trader.
In the Alex the Trader guy who's got this Bugatti?
Oh, was this she bought the Smash top one?
Yes. Took it to the Jake Paul press
conference. Did you see that?
Yeah. So that car works because he
drove it. I think he, I think they or did
they push? It no they drove.
It they drove it so so it doesn't run.
It I mean, it goes it's. Just smashed.
It's not, it's not bent. Badly.
So right, how much does this share on Pure Sport worth?
5 million. 5 now So how much did he buy off Copart?
For so he's brought it back Smasher and Copart for 1.9.
Is this dollars or pounds? Dollars.
This is all dollars. Dollars.
Then it's going to be just short, well, just over 1 1/2 to
build. So yeah, apparently this is
where the story. So I know a bit more about this
story now. So apparently they are they, he
said. Like how much Mr. Begat a
dealership how much to fix my car and they've gone in with a
1.7 to fix here right? Which means you could probably
do it elsewhere for 300. What are you doing?
What are you doing for 1.7 million, right?
Like anyway, 1.7 million to build.
But then then Alex said, do you know what?
I'd do it myself or get Matt. Matt.
He needs the parts though, doesn't he?
Well, then they've said to him we'll do it for 600K, which is,
which is bizarre. So I've discounted it 1.1
million. And so Alex has obviously gone
obviously like you would. No, you're all right.
You tried to RIP me off 1.1. But I'll give you 300.
That's what he said. No, I'll do it myself.
It's going to. Apparently it's going to free
print print all the parts. You see that that for me, that's
the wrong move. I would pay the 600 grand
because the car's going to be worth so much more.
Less. But.
He's a YouTube like a A. Yeah, so he's getting great
videos, isn't it? Yeah, massively.
He's apparently he's going to from what I was watching a
video, He's going to do it on his He's got a he's only young,
he's got, but he's got a, a tennis court, the back of his
house and he's going to put a tent over the top of his tennis
court and he's going to build, he's going to do it on his
tennis court. So he's not even going to put it
in a garage. Let's get clear.
Well, he'll earn a lot of money out of the videos, of that I'm
sure to buy himself an Onsmash Sheeran.
Wow watch this space. We'll see what happens, won't
we? They're.
Great, then there. I do know what that's the only
that's the only thing that I've seen of recent times where I'm
really interested to see how that turns out.
I. Am like no one's done one.
I know how hard Bugatti are to negotiate with for for parts.
If they say no inks on you, no parts like they're not selling
you any. Parts and if you've had that as
well, I guess. No, no, no, I've, I've, I've
never had to be in that situation.
But like I said to you before, when I when I had the Veyron, it
was only Bugatti that could maintain them.
So you didn't have an Ave. to go and get parts from somewhere?
Else you know. It was only and now there is
other people you you can do it, but I still I would be inclined
to use official parts. But it makes the video way more
exciting that he has to make his own parts, doesn't it?
Wouldn't it be brilliant? Yeah.
Any film there tonight? Yeah, plenty of different
things. Really.
Somebody can't wait for all the young influencers to go broke in
five years. That's nice.
It's not very nice, is it? These millionaires go and find
cars that have been stolen for the average person and give them
back. So don't come in here talking
stupid. That's from Davex 2985 S
Somebody's following the channel.
Oh, hang on a minute. Right.
Great to listen to millionaire dissing ordinary people's cars.
Well, we have got ordinary people's cars.
I don't get. That, but I don't think you
have, nor are you. Guys in the transit.
Was there anything in his mum's basement.com?
Yeah, definitely. Oh, all right.
Definitely. Big shout out to Jeff.
Right, something this week we've had another car turn up.
Oh, great car, you've not seen it yet.
Go on. It's black.
Ford Focus Ford Focus S team inmate Andrews.
Oh, OK. St.
Stripped. Stripped it out, racing seats,
different suspension, uprated brakes.
What's the horsepower? Not sure.
It's fast. I don't know.
I don't know what they are actually.
It's the standard St. to be fair.
But we've just put like an oil cooler on there, put all sorts
of stuff on there. What are they?
Are they 280 or? Something Reece is the man for
that. Reece.
It's 2015. Oh, 2015.
Oh, right, it's not going to be that much.
What the year is he on about? Two. 150 horsepower. 25250 I
wasn't far away that. But yesterday, then you took it
up to Donington. And when the.
School dads didn't. Yeah, stay with the school dads
ripping round. Not bad.
Literally, if everyone's like dat round and Donington, it was
absolutely like flipping brilliant.
And that focus proper proper held its own.
Really proper held its own like Porsches, Mclarens because it's
just a flipping great car. And you're also going into a
hairpin, not giving it care. You are definitely pushing track
limits. There's a picture.
There's a bad real, bad real, actually.
I'm going to send that to Reece quickly if you talk.
Did you make Charles feel sick? Charles was still, he was still
small and at the end it's a Ryan that was.
So I'm going to speak to Ryan, talking with yourself.
So keep it going. Right.
So yeah, you've done that. You've been Andrew did it for
you, didn't he? My daughter changes so massive
thank you to Andrew, you did do an amazing job.
And soon as it's been absolutely hammered for the like for all
that time and it's still in perfect working condition.
Right. Also this week in the comments
there's been a lot said and complaints made about there not
being enough Reece's mum jokes. Yeah, we've been a bit quite on
flipping Reece's. I mean, I think it's out of
order sometimes, but if if you want to partake in it then you
know. Literally one of the comments
was that they were not happy that there was enough Smutty
Reef's mum's jokes. And she's, she's been and she
loves it. She loves it.
All of them. You have been on the quiet
though, you have got like 3 weeks worth to catch up on.
Yeah, we have. We've got got the picture up.
There we go. I.
Thought there's got to be a picture with his mum then.
Do you think that's track limits?
No. There's not a single bit of
tire. I'm not, I don't, I don't
understand if the apex is, I don't know.
I don't know if it's a left hand bend or a right hand bend.
That's a right? That's inside inside.
Yeah, yeah, just like Reese's mum.
Sorry they called for it, mate. It ain't my fault.
You've got to give the people what they want.
People pleaser. I feel like we need to apologise
as well to Andrew P Connor because he's got carried away
watching this and he's burnt the dinner tonight.
What was the other? No, he hasn't said.
Oh. What that's that's not enough
information, Andrew. Then somebody What do you think
about the wet belt scandal? What's that?
It's Reese's mum again. Sorry Reese, they asked for it
mate. I won't get invited back if I
don't give the jokes. I don't know, I don't know,
right? Filming what you been filming,
Mr. So with car collection which is coming on well, well, so well
it takes forever. So we're about 1/3 of the way
through that. Well, no, probably about 1/4 way
through that which is good and the stock.
Have you showed all your cars? No, No.
Stolen car 440. I have you heard?
So we did. We did this.
I know you've done the the X5. Yep so this was this was a
different 1 so basically we a guy messages said he had his car
stolen, wanted it back desperate back can you come help?
So we went up there, met this guy, looked at CCTV, went to the
location where they ripped the tracker out and stuff like that.
It's just such a cool video. So then we've we've put a reel
out saying like, I don't, you know, I don't care who's nicked
it, don't want to know who's nicked it.
Not interested in the people, just want the car back, just
want the car back, just want the car back.
So put a reel out saying has anybody seen this car?
The lads who have nicked it have done a reel back showing they've
got the car. No balaclavas and.
Stuff. Yeah, Yeah.
Well, no. No, he's just put like a. £20
note over his head. Oh but like it's £20 but then
the natural one. Oh, OK, yes.
So that would be a child would have stole the car, Yeah.
And then it like he's like showing the keys and the car and
stuff like that, like proper cheeky.
Cheeky bastard. Fair play, though.
Yeah, like you. You like the real?
I mean, not fair play for stealing someone's car, but what
I mean is like, he's making great, you know?
Yeah, well, like his his like his editing skills way better
than Race's. Yeah, his first.
So like that, that was the first you've.
Got to appreciate good editing. That's exactly what I said,
Theresa. Like you have their place and
good editing then in a short amount of time as well, he was
under. But like, yes.
Oh, he hit back straight away. Straight away, so like it's
definitely not funny. He stole a car, but it is like,
it is like pretty. The cheek of it is unbelievable.
It's the brazenness. But I mean, it's he's, he's
making good content for you to carry it on.
You know, and then. And now it's get.
I'm, I'm going to watch it now. Yeah, It's, you know, it's.
It is pretty, pretty amazing story.
Pretty amazing story, but yeah. Update from Andrew, It was
chicken Kiev pasta. It's gone in the bin and he's
got a kebab on the way now. Oh, that's a win.
Win, win. We've helped him out.
Definitely a win win. Chicken Kiev pasta?
What's that? Fancy Somebody's just asked is
your Land Rover broken or working?
This. Oh my God.
OK. Extending everyone.
Here we go. Make sure we we've got to go
past 7:00, guys. Get your dinner off the Don't
burn your dinner. Tell him make make sure he gets
a call from just go eat whatever it is delivery is kebab because
he's going to miss it for this story.
So you know, I was here a couple few weeks ago, both Land Rovers
broke down and bear in mind I've had loads of problems with these
cars. But when 2 breakdown on the same
day, it's a it's it's, it's a kick in the teeth.
About. Yourself sent them back to Land
Rover, they've been back there for a week.
They come back, one of them blew up again, sent it back, it's
been there a week. Got them both back today.
They've both shit the bed again. Same problem.
I've got two. I've got two cars being
delivered tomorrow, 1 to be picked up.
I don't have another car with a tow bar.
I've got 2 Brian James trailers which have nothing to tow them
and I've got customers that think they get in the cars
tomorrow and they will get their cars tomorrow because if I have
to outsource it somewhere then I will.
It's enough of grand gone isn't. It but I mean, it's I, this is
ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous.
It's ridiculous. And what did I do?
I called Land Rover and said, look, can I buy two more of
these cars because these two don't work.
And then I thought, you're stupid.
That sounds, but they haven't come back to me yet to say yes
or no. So they can't sell me a car.
They can't fix the ones I've got.
Are they going to give you your money back?
I've got a good relationship. Well, I've got a great
relationship with Sitna, who the cars came from and we've known
them a very long time and I'm trying to do everything we
possibly can not to hinder that relationship, you know, because
it's a relationship that's been going for 40 odd years.
But I feel like we're doing our bit to preserve that, but
they're not doing their bit to preserve that.
So now I'm at the point where I'm only going to ask nicely a
couple more times and then it's going to get messy.
And then I'm really going because I've got so much footage
of when these cars are broke down dates.
The amount of one car's been over 22 times in two years, 22
times it's been 8 months off the road.
Imagine if that was your family vehicle to take the kids to the.
Spot honestly, but it's costing me money because I actually they
run through the business and they do a job.
So I need a car with a tow bar. I don't care if the car's broke.
Keep the car, give me a car to replace it until it's fixed.
They won't answer the calls, they won't give us courtesy
cars, They won't sell me any new cars because they won't pick up
the phone. I mean, it's just a shit show.
Oh dear. So video, video, video coming
soon. Random Internet retard says he
saw the Land Rover the other day on the M1 trailer.
Bouncing Jacks 6938 says you should swap to Ford Rangers.
I don't like pick. Up and I get nicked all the
time. Rangers don't.
Like pick up and they're terrible on terrible on fuel.
You know the the V6 3.2? What about Toyota Land Cruiser?
Yeah, ugly as sin. Probably the ugliest car I've
ever seen in my life. Reece, can you get one up for me
please? 2025 Toyota Land and Sankrus to.
Update you as well Carl. What is doing that is?
What an ugly car that is. My God I'd rather have a broken
down defender. I'd rather have a car which
doesn't work. Yeah, I agree.
What's wrong with the lights? Do you know it looks like one of
those JQ? Yeah, JQ doesn't it?
Yeah, those new ones. But supposed to be fantastic at
towing. What JQ?
No, the Land Cruiser I. Was going to say I think JQ's
electric isn't it? Reese's mum's commented she
wants you to up the mum jokes. OK, fair play.
Is she really? Yeah.
Oh, she has as well. Tell Carly can do better with
the comments about me. Oh, that sounded quite personal.
It's not personal if you told me to do it.
You're just doing like you're a people please, like you say you.
Just you told me today you got me in trouble.
Now feel like I need to apology. Somebody from Redditch
commented. Can you tell Mister Hartley I'm
from Redditch and I can deliver a car with my trailer?
Oh. That sounds good.
OK. Can you can, can you message me
on Instagram please and with your details?
Thank you very much. Always needing some, so yeah.
So yeah, it's been. Is his name Kyle?
Mr. Ginger? Oh, I've got brown air.
Oh yeah, hence the handle. Right.
Hybrids is that's what is that's what's killing the new cars.
Yeah. Will we, are we allowed?
Does anybody know this? Are we allowed to just make
petrol cars anymore or is that like not allowed?
I think you are but very small engine cars.
Right, so you can't make AV12 SVJ now?
No, you're not allowed. Well, you can if you make less
than 500 units. So that's it.
We can't have them anymore. They're gone.
They're gone, never to be seen again, ever, ever, ever.
Amen. That's ridiculous, I know so,
but could you make a? Special I think BJ's are selling
for half £1,000,000 or sold 1 is.
That where they've gone to now because we're doing that on the
car collection. Would you what sell?
No, no, no. Obviously if we had to, if it
meant got to get out of trouble or.
Buying a Veyron maybe? Buying a Veyron?
No. Would you want me to?
No, no, there's plenty of other. The thing is though, you, you're
only going to be selling a car that you want another car to
have in it. That makes sense.
You're going to be like right, I'm selling this, but I don't
want to go hybrid. I don't want to go V6.
I want to go V126 litre and you think fuck why did I sell the
SVJ for you know? Yeah, now there's, there's,
yeah, we've got to get rid of. Yeah, there's some other stuff
which needs to be. And then come and have a
conversation with you. And yeah, that'd be nice, isn't
it? I'm just thinking carpet, I'm
going to give up on it for this year because like there's
obviously, yeah, good things are happening.
I can't say anything about it. Oh, OK.
The stuff up there that, like you've mentioned is just, yeah.
Yeah, we're definitely having, definitely having.
A maybe if you get to 1,000,000 Subs.
You want you can have a carpet. No, Oh no, no, no.
Are you on about you'll start talking about stuff that.
Oh, what Carl's got for sale. Yeah.
Oh, OK. If that's if that's what it
takes, that's what it takes. But right I tell you where we're
going. Any who must.
Help me out. Right.
If you're not subscribed subscribe because I want my
carpet like us follow us subscribe and if you like this
chat, you can watch it after the live has finished here on
Spotify. Now the link is in the
description below I believe. So what's also is, well, a bit
confusing with these lives is when you go to watch it
afterwards, they stop on your homepage for a bit, but then you
have to go into a live tab. So it's they are a little bit
difficult to find afterwards. But on YouTube, in YouTube?
Yeah, on on the YouTube page. But you can watch it on YouTube.
You can watch it on Spotify anywhere.
Else on Spotify. Oh, you can't watch it on
Spotify? It's just listen, no.
You can't watch on Spotify as well.
Oh, can you? I didn't know you could watch on
Spotify. Oh, OK, Ryan's here as well.
Well, house again tonight. Big shout out to Ryan.
Oh, there we go. Look, we've got no Senna as
well. Auntie JoJo is looking after
Senna next door, so she's. Feeding the donkeys, doing a
reading, playing with the dogs. Being gently annoying.
Yeah, as you do. Yeah, right.
Random question, would you ever buy someone?
Not a relative, someone their first car.
Someone a first car? Yeah, obviously, I suppose if it
was a meaningful situation where that person had deserved the
car. I'm thinking like on the lines
of like DIYSOS, that type of thing.
Obviously you've given somebody their car back because they have
had it stolen. I suppose if there was a right
situation where that person but not, yeah, yeah, I suppose the
right situation, yeah, yeah. Um, would I?
Well, the most important people to me that I would want to buy a
car for would be my kids. But I wouldn't want to buy them
a car because I'd want them to know how to earn the money and
and value the money in order to buy their own car.
Do you know what? I'm really glad you said that
because last time I said that on a podcast that we've done,
somebody commented, well, you've got enough money, why don't you
buy the car for them? That's not how the world worked.
That's not how I was ever brought up and that's not how I
would bring my kids up. Exactly.
But they would be the only person that I would buy.
I've actually do you know what I have bought people cars, not
their first car and not nothing massively amazing.
But I've had different people work for me in the past and they
just, they just haven't had a car and I've bought them a car.
Would like something out the showroom we're.
Talking yeah, I give them a A765LT spider.
No, I, I bought them cars and, and you know, so I, it's not
their first car and, and you know, if anything, it selfishly
benefited me because I wanted them to come to work.
It was a hybrid. That couldn't get rid of.
Yeah. So, you know, it's, it's hard
to, I would never insult anybody to buy them an electric car.
Trying to give them another voucher A296 alight now.
You're right mate, I'll. Give them like an early an early
Tesla. I can remember when we did.
I can remember when we did the showroom when you got some cars
to sell and dips from P1 autos. He bought the Peugeot.
Wasn't it for his? Was it his nephew and niece?
Niece. I think his niece.
To get her started, which I think was lovely.
Yeah, I think in the right, in, in the right.
Yeah, in the right situation, yeah, definitely out house.
Just people now commenting about being bought their first cars
being helped by getting their first car.
Yeah, I do believe we. Appreciate it and to lay out to
work for myself and then you know, reality then kicks.
In I think it's very, I think it's harder now than ever.
But you know what? In in our car.
Insurance is the killer. It's not even buying your first
car anymore, but you know it's getting insured on it.
Here you can buy a £500 car with 1200 MOT, which works like it
might not be the best car, but you can buy a car for a dinger.
It it like it gets you from A to B and goes like, but in America
that's not a thing. You know, 1000 like everything's
like $3000. There is there isn't a £500 car.
There isn't such a thing or anything like that.
So it's. Too early for that.
Reese puts information on there when I'm doing something wrong,
but I can't see it but yeah it's yeah they we're really lucky but
as well, people comment on videos all the time how cheap
our cars are here I'd. Like I'd like someone to leave a
comment or we ain't really got a lot of time.
I'd like someone to leave a lot of comment to say what the
cheapest car they've ever bought was and how much it cost for
them to be insured on it. Because I'll give £500 for a car
but 2 1/2 grand for insurance. Let's ask Ryan about this.
My first car, 1.2 litre Corsa. So that's Ryan's 1.2 litre
Corsa, yeah. 1.2 K or bargain. £1200.
Yes, and my insurance with the black box.
That's. Weird black box means you you
you literally can't go above 30 miles an hour pretty much.
Yeah, yeah. Was 2002. 100 That's what I'm
saying. It's.
Mad, that's what I'm saying. So reverse throws.
I bet in America it's not like that.
So your $3000 car might be $500 to insure.
Yeah, I see what you mean. Yeah.
Yeah, there was always that thing about black boxes.
Did it ever work? Mine was on Bluetooth so
obviously I always had Bluetooth turned on.
Did you fuck? Can anyone hear this?
No, we did it but then straight off with the Bluetooth.
Reese's girlfriend Maddie, she had a black box, didn't she
race? Did she race?
Come on for let us know. Did she?
Reese, I don't want to hear about your girlfriend's black
box, mate. What I was trying to get to was
the point of when she parked. I don't think she did, not at
her. He.
Did not park a black box in the airport.
She parked the car. Tell a story.
Race, please. I'm getting into trouble here.
Reese, have you got a microphone this week?
What was the story? We're talking about Maddie's
box. Maddie parked the car at the
airport, didn't she? And because the car hadn't
moved, didn't it put points? Oh, I give off how many?
Pointers give Maddie's box. Honestly, you're not just
filthy. You're not helping the
situation, Jedi. You've took me down the garden
path and just let me go. Got finished finished her points
were got scored less even though she didn't drive the car so they
scored her down for not driving. Cena Graham like wants us to
show Reese's girlfriend's black box.
Would you hope he would also second that Reese?
20 He's 25. Send it to Ryan, he'll put it on
the screen. Ryan.
Is 25 P enough? There's 25 P polar when you need
her, right? I'm not going to do it.
I nearly did.
I nearly did it, but I backed out.
I'm out, I'm out. It's just that we're going to do
a Christmas special fancy. We should, we should have a
nice, should have a nice beer one.
Do you have a nice? No, we'll have a bottle of
verve. 100% I'm I'm all in. Five and drive how do?
You live four mile away. 7:00 and 7:00.
I will get a driver. You've you've got a it's got to
be festive for us as I learn. That's a heart, and everyone
else calls it a taxi. I know you've.
Got I know you've. Got a driver?
It's called a taxi car. And are we going to dress
accordingly as well? Yeah, got a have you got a
Christmas jumper? You know what?
Mitzi bought me one yesterday. I haven't seen it yet.
And she's like, on Christmas Day, you're wearing this.
And I was like, OK, I'll look at it.
Do you know my dad? Bless him, every Christmas Day,
he'd have that. Do you know the cracker at like
I don't want? I don't think I'm above cracker
rats, but I'm I do not want a cracker rat.
I'm not into cracker rats when I see people sat with cracker
rats. Cracker hat.
Cracker rat. Not cracker rat, cracker,
cracker hat. It's 2 separate words, yes, but
my dad used to Chuck that cracker hat on.
Yeah, and that'd be on it for the day.
Yeah. I can't imagine your dad being a
cracker. Hat he's not a cracker rat at
all. Ryan, what are you laughing at?
He's like, it's no, that's that is not footage of my parents.
Live in the Christmas. Live in the heart there.
Christmas 1994 No, he's not a cracker hat.
He's a, he's a bit of a Grinch, me daddy, as if I'm honest with
you and he's turned me like it. What do you do for?
Christmas. It pisses me off now where
people are like, what's the date today, the 4th of December?
Like winding down for Christmas, You're winding down for
Christmas. We're a month away for Christmas
like. I've had my Christmas
decorations up a month. Oh no, I, I just, it, it pisses
me off a bit that, you know, yes, Christmas should start and
I'm, I'm, I'm the Grinch because I've got 3 kids and you know, I
should be more pushing towards this, but Christmas should start
on the 22nd, 23rd of December. That's when you should be like,
right now we let's wind down for Christmas.
You don't wind down for Christmas, you wind up.
You wind down for New Year. Wind me up, we have we have
Christmas trees decorations. How many Christmas trees do you
have? And it's embarrassing.
I know I I can't believe this what I've got in my house.
I can't believe it. We have two full size trees, 2
full size. Like I understand somebody has a
full size tree then they have a little tinker.
On. That's three.
Do we? There's one in Santa's bedroom.
Oh yeah, that's yes. It's still a full size tree,
just decorated. Not the way I like trees to be.
She's massive into Christmas. I love it.
Yeah, my wife. Loves it, I love it.
The lights out the front of the house have come in but I'm just
waiting for a long enough dry enough period to get them up
whilst he's out. I just know one day I'm going to
come home, I'm going to pull him through that, through that gate
and there's going to be an inflatable Chris like Father
Christmas. I'm dreading that which is.
As tall as the house. Yeah, I'm dreading that.
As well, like bobbing like that. Yeah, I can see it coming.
Yeah, I'm dreading that as well. I walked in my house the other
day and I can't believe how many Christmas trees we have.
See, I'm. And I was like, surely it's
normal to have one Christmas tree that you put it in the
living room or you put it in the room where you're going to open
your presents and have Christmas.
They don't need to be in every room of the house, surely to
God. But it's nice to be in a room
and have the festive feeling. Yeah, I don't get it.
I don't get it. I'd just rather be at work.
Oh Jesus, I know it's bad. Merry Christmas.
I know I'm getting old and. I can't I admit he's watching
this. Jesus, Can you imagine?
We didn't answer the question, what are you doing on Christmas
Day? Christmas Day, I'll wake up.
Well, my kids are miserable. Really, really, really early.
I wake. Up really, really early because
my kids are really young and they want to open their
presents. If they've been on the good
list, maybe they've got presents.
If they haven't been on the good list, they might not have
presents. Good point.
So hopefully they get some presents and then we're going
out for Christmas lunch. What to a pub or something?
Yeah, go to the Boot Labworth. Oh, OK, nice.
We'll go in there. Family, everyone.
No, just me. Yeah, me, Mitzi and the kids.
Oh, OK. Yeah.
And you know, I've been I've been a bit stubborn this
Christmas because I don't want to leave my house in regards to
or let's go there and see this family member.
Let's go see them. Let's go see.
I want to have the time that I have off work with my kids and I
want everyone to come to my house, you know, so I want all
the in laws to come to my house, want all my family to come to my
house. That would be great.
I'd love to see you all, but I want you to come to my house.
I don't want to get in the road, drive 2 hours down the road with
my three kids who want to be at home playing with their toys if
they get them. I want to stay at home, you
know, so I'm just going to be I'm going to be really local.
And then the day after Boxing Day, I'll be back at work.
Like to hear it as well. Yep, selling Vyrons.
Selling Vyrons if anyone wants to buy of A1.
No, don't decide. That because I might want to buy
it one. Do not buy that one.
You're out of office as well and
truly on. No, yeah.
No, we're good. Yeah.
No, it's Senna. Senna loves.
She's just so excited. But.
She's borderline on the list. I'm taking.
She's very much nearly not on the list.
Yeah, I'm yeah, Isla is definitely is not on the list.
I'm taking the kids to Lapland on the 10th of December.
Oh wow, cool for. Three days or something.
So that'll be, I mean, I think I'd.
You're going to go or just. I'm I'm going to go, but I'm
going to going to sedate myself for three days just.
Get some old. Wine.
No, I'm just going to. I'm just going to find some sort
of sedative like like Xanax or something.
I just take so much of it. So I'm just literally.
Oh please let somebody send this to Mitzi.
Just just collect this up. Reece.
Just send it to Mitzi. You.
Just see me being carried around Finland, which is you're going
to real. No, I'm going to Finland, to
real Lapland. Yeah, we're not.
We're not, no. We're doing Lapland Uki want to
do the Finland but Bah humbug here, not too cold.
Oh, now? Now I'm the Grinch.
Oh, he's proper. Grinch no, I just think there's
there's there's I think Christmas is amazing but I think
you can go excessive yeah I think we can all have the spirit
without having 5 Christmas trees look my beef like I love this
woman to pieces we have different outfits for trees
we've got like red and yellow red and white but then we've got
a bronze set of decorations as well because.
Different decorations go in different rooms and sometimes
one year I feel like one coolest game.
I've had this conversation and. They're saying.
Every time she goes out the house in December, she comes
back with more decorations. Exactly same.
Why don't you go to the house? But what's wrong?
We only use them once a we we use them once a year.
The decoration is they're not worn out.
We do not. And it's festive.
And what's it called? Tradition.
So it's surely tradition to have the the like the you know, the
decoration should have been passed down through the
generations. So before we acquired another 5,
the Christmas trees, the, the one Christmas tree that we had
when we thought like normal people and had one Christmas
tree because we, my wife was sane back then rather than
insane now she was like, we need a new Christmas tree.
So I'm like, why? We've had that for 10 years.
So we've used it 10 times and it doesn't do anything.
It just stands there. So it's not like it's worn out.
You know, it's, it's a tree and we pack it away.
It's not worn out. No, we've had it for 10 years.
How long do you want to have it for?
Forever. Ping is our car.
That's a real tree she's trying to stick over.
No, it's not a real tree, but I'll tell you a funny story.
How long we got? We got 5 minutes for a story.
We've got 5 minutes. So.
It's just getting good. Went to the went to the beer
school. My next.
You're not on the beer. School on the old.
November the 12th, like so how long ago was that?
Three weeks ago? Yeah, November the 12th, I
think. I'd been here.
I was local. I'd either come to see you or
yeah, I'd been here. That's where I'd been.
I'd been here and I'd come back to the house.
Instead of going back to the showroom.
I went back to the house and on a Wednesday I have a gardener
comes in and just like tidies everything up outside and make
sure everything's not a complete mess so I can't find him.
Now I've got this thing in my head.
I'm like, where was this? Where was this guy at?
I can never find him. Every time I want him, I can
never find him. I wanted to tell him something.
I've opened my front door. I've got.
I wouldn't have been more upset if I'd have found them both in
the shower. I opened the front door.
This guy is hanging from the staircase with Christmas lights.
My wife is putting a Christmas tree up.
The housekeepers do something else, the Christmas tree, and
I'm like, what is going on here? Like I reacted exactly the same
if I'd have found them in bed with each other.
I was fuming. So now I've gone no, no, no, no
way. This is not happening.
So I've gone over to one of our big Christmas trees and it's big
by the way. It's probably 9 foot high by by
like 5 or 6 foot wide at the bottom.
I've picked it up in one go. I've dragged it through the door
which you don't fit through the. Door.
So you're angry? Right.
And I've now javelined it in the middle of the A 3400 on
Stratford Rd. I've I've javelined with the
lights, with the bubbles, with everything.
I've I've just I've. Threw it and what's your
Wednesday man thinking of this? So he now is like, Carl, I'm
really sorry. And I'm like, my wife tells you
to do anything again. Don't do, don't listen to her.
She's not well. She doesn't, she doesn't know
what she's doing. It's November the 12th.
I've been here, maybe I broke down four times in the car on
the way home, right? Not in the best mood in the
world. And I've come home to for
because after Christmas, you you, your tree stays up for
another like 10 days nearly. Nah.
So like you have to keep up for the for the new year, surely?
Nah. Well, we do.
Tidy up that way we get. Out of the way, you know, we
normally do so I'm looking at an 8 week festive period of
Christmas. So I had to pull the plug and I
can say that she has got her own back because I said she could
put them up on December the 1st and she did.
But she's gone way overboard and now we have a Christmas tree in
every room. I love it.
Ready to go, Mick say. Right, thank you all for
watching everybody. So we're going Christmas jumpers
and everything. More festive next.
So I will wear a Christmas jumper next week or next time,
whenever. Next time, I think what do we
have? Probably be, yeah.
Don't we need Father Christmas and elves instead?
Can you? Call them elves these days.
