Good evening, everybody. Welcome to another Thursday
night action with me and the misses.
Joining us is Mr. Jones. Matthew, how you doing, bro?
How you doing? And we've got Reece as well.
We've got Ryan in the cupboard, right?
Tonight's main event. Throughout my entire life,
racing has been a massive part of what I do.
I race motocross, bikes, buggies and I loved every part of it,
but a big bit of it has always been crashing.
I've had a lot of hard crashes over the years.
I've broken my back four times and I've broke my neck and I was
paralysed for a little while, which we'll talk about in a bit.
Not a great day. Today I'm going to tell the
story of what happened and joining me is professional
mountain bike rider, which sounds pretty cool, Matthew
Jones, Matt to his friends and we've got some epic clips.
You will recognise this guy when you see some of the stuff he's
done which has gone very, very, very, very viral.
Have I crashed? Yeah, Oh yeah, I've.
Never any good. Ones well I want to kind of dive
into how you can be paralysed for a little bit in a bit when
you say that insane opener yeah yeah ankles, wrists, collar
bones, shoulders. I was just saying down any limb
you stick out or. Broken.
Do you think that's how it works wherever it's the ground first?
Yeah, 100%. Were you a good crasher or a bad
crasher? That's a good question.
I'm going to close my eyes and break crasher.
I think I was good. I think, yeah, I think like
it's, I think people's professional careers in my sport
actually hinge on how good they are at crashing more than how
good they are at landing tricks. Can you jump off when shit's
going wrong? Yeah, big.
Yeah, the big jump. Yeah, it almost gets safer.
You can. Ditch the bike.
Yeah, I'm holding on for grim death to the end.
To the end. Even now, and I know it's really
bad on a motocross bike, I've crashed and think where's me
bike? And it's smashed me in the back
of the. End coming at you.
And then that's what's broke me. How can you be good at crashing?
Lots of people are good at crashing.
It's a real big thing, like I've always felt.
Do you reckon it's better to tense or relax?
They say relax, don't they? But I can't imagine anyone can
actually put themselves in a state of saying bombing towards
Earth, isn't it? Yeah.
So. So what's the criteria for being
a good crasher in mountain biking?
Not gymnastics. Isn't it landing on your feet?
Not just not putting your arm out like this.
And I think youth as well, you know, sort of like younger bones
and especially, I suppose, fitness as well, like, I suppose
the fitter you are, the less chance you have of snapping.
Yeah, big shoulders. Yeah, yeah.
I've got some good, good clips here of some of the safe things
Matt has done over the years. Here we go.
So that's the jump. There you go, it's on screen.
For House House. That's just mental.
Let's take a pause. Yep, right.
The house. Yeah.
So there's no practices there. Well, no, I did.
Or was that just ruined? No, there was.
I put a scaffold like case pad on the top so the first one
didn't go like straight through the roof tiles and everything.
But no, like guessing the speed and everything was a bit of
guesswork. Yeah, but that's not a that's
not a ramp which you've done loads of time.
So it's not like, you know, like a motocross freestyle ramp, you
know. Yeah, Opera all in second gear
is going to take me a a direct, but that's that's like a
probably. Have you ever been towed down
your driveway? No.
Have you ever hit that ramp before?
No, I built it for that. Yeah, brilliant.
And you've never jumped that high off that ramp?
Before no. Brilliant load of unknown, yeah.
That's the thing. Like.
I didn't ever know. I didn't have any knowledge of
how fast I was being towed. We're just told got my mate
Jamie who was driving my. Mate, Jamie, yeah, I love it.
He's. Like I need to go 35 miles an
hour, but you can actually hear because it was bumpy.
His foot on the plot was. Like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I just. Like well, it could be anywhere
from 32 to 43, but. Why 35?
Just felt like a real first one and it ended up at 43 when we
took the case pad away. Yeah.
And then I was shot by Miles. Miles.
Yeah, smashed my ankle. That was a fun one, yeah.
And did you hurt yourself? Yeah, but not bad enough.
Like it was my ankle just high basically my toes hit me in my
shin like folded it in half but managed to land it.
Let's I think the one which probably most people have seen
is the which I really want to talk about.
Yeah, is the lorry one because yeah, like when you look at it.
Let's just roll the clip first here.
We go. It's just unreal.
Now, I guess as jump's gone, that's probably the smallest
jump you've ever done in your life.
Yeah, without the lorries there so easy, yeah.
But with the lorries. There insane because so scary
because that is death really. Isn't it?
If that's wrong, yeah, that was. One of the few ones I've done
which is. Yeah.
Literally. But that's and, and I guess
that's calculations by somebody who you've never met before.
They, well, the trucks are driverless, they're autonomous,
so we programmed them to cross at exactly the same time.
But I actually did all the maths for my towing speed and the
timing of everything. I didn't.
So it wasn't Jamie again. No, I.
Didn't want to trust anyone else but the guy in the in the towing
vehicle, James, like that is there was so much kind of like
autonomy and maths and things, but I was still getting towed in
by a bloke in a normal car. So then he goes out the window.
I had to like really trust him. Yeah, that was a good one.
Yeah, because I suppose. The funny on the, the first day
we arrived, we're like going through it kind of like a risk
assessment with this medic. And over there their ambulances
look like hearses. It's like this XC90 as long as I
heard. So it's already a bit weird.
And he said to me, like, I haven't got any of the equipment
to treat you if there's an accident here because you, you
won't be on the floor like at the bottom of the jump.
You'll be wrapped around a lorry axle.
And then they got an extra like a Norwegian we did in Sweden.
But anyway, yeah, they got an extraction team down in like,
fire gear with all the jaws of luck, but they didn't need it.
So yeah, that was the first one where I've got into it.
And there was all these hurdles of like, OK, this, you will die.
You will die. Yeah, you will die.
But I believed in it for sure man.
And how many views roughly has that got?
900 million on social media. Yeah, a billion views.
Nearly a billion, yeah, That's Red Bull's biggest one ever in
the UK, yeah. The the, the lorry one was yeah.
And that's crazy because it's like, although it's, it's not so
much skill that one, is it? It's do you know like some of
the. Trust.
Yeah, it's belief. Yeah, it's that.
Well, yeah, because you can't engineer it.
Yeah. If you physics, you can't put
out of it left or right because you still get run over.
If you go too slow, you'll like end up in the Minsa.
But also there's a height, there's like a a maximum
minimum. So if you were to pop off the
jump, which I was really worried about doing, I thought in the
moment I'll be like freak out and like Bunny hop off it for
some reason. And then you'd hit your head on
the top of the cat and the trailers.
So there's like loads of ways it could go wrong.
So actually the the job was just point exactly straight.
So it's almost turned your brain off.
And who comes up with that idea? That was me, Yeah.
That is. You've been for years.
Yeah. I mean, we got scans.
I don't get that out of that. Honestly, like just in moving
traffic, I'd always like like looking at that lines up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've always thought about like
pulling off the motorway and jumping over a motorway bridge
and then it kind of sort of what if there was a lorry on the
bridge you could jump and then it I ended up thinking 2
movement so I could jump in through a guillotine.
Yeah, yeah, it's good. But they must be very happy like
that when like at 900 mil. Yeah, that's like some
advertising campaign. Yeah, way better than we
thought, to be honest. Yeah, people like that, sort of.
People like watching people. It's quite gladiatory, isn't it?
I think it's like the like, is it gonna go right?
Is not like that's that's the thing that danger element.
Everyone likes to watch a crash, don't they?
They go to the arena cross to watch somebody crash.
They watch the freestyle hoping that somebody's going to crash.
We're all sort of hoping for it a bit, aren't we, when you watch
live events? Yeah, yeah.
That's. What's going through your mind
as you're doing? It hopefully not a top of a
lorry. Yeah, just don't, don't do
anything other than ride straight and do.
You have your heart rate monitored or anything while
you're doing it, no. So you don't know how high or
what your stress level is like or anything?
No. Finally we got I got towed into
it so many times where the the the timing didn't work out like
for a whole day I was getting dragged into this thing and it
was like abort. I had a light on the back of the
car. If it was green, I'd go and it
took all day. So I was actually so over it by
then, like I I wasn't getting that big spike really.
I was just like numb thinking this is never going to happen.
And then it was like, fuck, it's actually.
But that I suppose that fuck it's going to happen is what, 2?
Seconds. Yeah.
And then it's like, OK, yeah, forget the arduous day of no
results. Now it's like, go, go, go.
Yeah. So it's a good feeling.
It's. Amazing.
And what did the what what what's your wife think about
that when because obviously that's not like a broken ankle,
is it Like that's that could be. Yeah, she.
I kind of just like, made it all sound fine.
It's like, yeah, just going to jump through these things.
They'll be moving, but it's easy.
Like anyone could do it. And then she actually came out
to watch and she's like, it's not what you stole to me.
They're actual lorries. Yeah.
But I guess she believed in it because I did, Yeah.
That's amazing, absolutely amazing, right?
Motocross. Have you ever raced motocross?
No, I I find it so scary. I don't like motocross.
But you've got, you've got your track, haven't you?
Yeah. Pit bikes I love.
You can't have any more fun than pit bikes.
But motocross is insane. I went the first time I ever
went to a track. I was really stoked because I
was doing this double, double and thinking like, this is so
flowing. I jump, jump.
And then on the second lap, someone jumped completely over
my hair top. It was a quad.
And this is this is way out of my desk.
Hopefully a quad. No quad.
That's like go home if you happen.
Yeah, no, yeah. So I was a bit out of my depth
for motocross. Maybe I should pick it up.
How did you break your neck? Right, So throughout my I've
like broken both femurs. I've got a met on knee, ankles,
lots of my collar bones are a bit of a mess if you can see
that. Oh shit, so.
Collar bones aren't great. And then ribs.
I don't count fingers. Do you count fingers and toes?
I don't think they're clusters breaking, aren't they?
They don't count. But I raced stock car racing and
I don't think you've ever seen stock car racing.
But there's no rules, basically. Yeah.
So it's lawless? Absolutely.
So how I explain it is when you, when you're doing a race, if
you're not at the front and the the the grid separates, you can
go caution. So if there's a crash, then
neutralize a race, right. So they're put it onto like a
yellow flat. Well, a red flag really.
And then so everyone will bump back up.
So you know in a big race what the what the good roads will do.
If you're in 4th and top three ahead, you will take somebody
out on the way past them to create a crash, to create a
crash. Now that person could be the
last, the slowest person minding his own business, but you will
create a red flag. So you put a lamb to the
slaughter. Here's an example.
However. God it looks insane.
Oh my, no. Way yes.
Why? So those are those are them
stocks carts. So I was writing I got so
basically the rules are you can ride somebody into the block
wall, which is solid as long as you're not touching them when
you hit. So you can go all the way in to
a split second, and as long as your cars aren't together, it's
allowed. Sounds epic.
So you can't follow them in. So as long as you don't hit them
into the wall, it's fine. But I hit the wall.
I got fired in by somebody into the wall.
And then the impact. Yeah.
So basically, like, I hit the wall really hard.
I saw it coming. I thought this is gonna be
really, really bad. And it was.
And then I was sort of like semi conscious and then like the car
was still running so I thought to myself, I've got to turn it
off. And the switch was like here,
but you couldn't, you were so tight in there, you had to like
reach across to the switch. And I realized then I couldn't
turn it off. Because you couldn't move your.
Arms couldn't move my arms and then I was like I can't move
anything. And then I was less like, but I
wasn't, it was more mine was more like massive impact.
Like massive, massive impact. It took away my speech and it
damaged my diaphragm like it was just the from.
Huge. Huge of like, you know,
obviously all your inner organs moving forward.
So then they cut me out and all that sort of stuff.
And then within probably for a couple of minutes, like I
started to be able to move a little bit.
But here's my This is my X-ray and you can see why I had an
issue. So that's your neck.
I love that you've drawn a yellow circle around it like no
one can see what the massive damage is that.
Fine. It's here.
That was, no, that was me back which paralysed me.
So I've done my neck as well. But that was, yeah, that was my
back. Another vertebrae injury, Yeah.
So like that a lot of my vertebrae's are like no longer
rectangles, they're like. Where comes the cheese?
Compression fractures, so they're all like that, but that
one was quite a big one because the tail of the obviously of the
bone went into my spinal cord, which was not good, not good at
all. How many times have you broke
your back? Four or five, but they're
compression, compression practice.
Something else to do that's ridiculous?
They don't count. They don't count compression
practice. Here a broken back and like that
city, screwed for life. A lot of people, a lot of my
friends. Well, we've all got friends.
We've definitely got friends like that, haven't we?
Yeah. But you know, don't you, when
you've hurt yourself bad? A broken bone you can.
Yeah, if. You've done something.
There's a different feeling. There's a difference, Yeah.
There's like such a dull, lethargic ache it makes you
miserable. Yeah.
Like you say, it drains the energy out of it, doesn't it?
Takes your smile off your face. Like you definitely know when
there's a there's a break. Yeah, we went into, we got taken
into Stoke Hospital. This was a great one, wasn't it?
So no, it wasn't. I get taken into Stoke Hospital.
I've got the head strapped down like that, all of that sort of
stuff. I'm like, hello, Mark.
Yeah. And then you're like back again.
And then they, so basically they sent me home to start with.
Didn't know that night. They did, said everything was.
OK, bear in mind that's an X-ray, yeah.
Said everything was OK and keep moving.
Did I have the yellow circle around it then?
That was me doing that. Like, hang on, hang on.
Yeah, so they sent me home and I knew I'd broke me back and all
the night was terrible. And I said to, I said they said
like, you haven't broke your back.
I was like, listen, I've done it before.
I've definitely, definitely broken my back.
My back is broken. And then the next morning Jane
had a phone call went do you know the next day when they
check the X-rays from the night before whatever.
And Jane was like going do not move, don't move.
So they've rang up and said where is he, whatever he's
doing, stop right now and they've checked the X-ray
afterwards. How you can possibly miss that?
I have no app. They obviously didn't look at it
do. You know what he was doing
though. This is true story now.
Trampoline. No, it was the other side of the
pond. Because we'd just had one of the
fields we'd put. We're all ready to put down a
load of grass seed, so he was picking stones up in a bucket.
But now it's like that honest work.
So yeah, they got a graft and so went went back there and then,
yeah, walked in there eventually.
Then they got strapped me down and I remember I stopped in the
first night and the next morning at Stoke Hospital they said do
you want some breakfast? And I was like, yes, please.
Left me Rice Krispies. Or you lay flat.
Rather than a piece of toast. Yeah, so.
What's it actually feel like to break your back?
Try and describe it. We're gonna do an hour talking
about yeah, break your bones. Just, I don't know, really just
like it just you're just waiting for that time to get prepared,
aren't you? That's the that's the horrible
thing, isn't it? When you're doing something you
love, especially when you're paid to do it.
Yeah, I'm. Guessing the shit thing is like
there's no shortcuts. You just know that that's it,
you're out there. Just solid period of time.
Sits it out that. Plays on your mind a lot.
It's just so mind blowing to me. Who's not into your world?
Break your back. Yeah, just go over it.
Or like, break all your arms all the time.
Fingers don't count. That's just mind blowing.
With motocross though, like it's definitely part of it and
especially the stuff you were doing when like when I walked
Rampage and all that sort of stuff.
I think if you hadn't have been behind Mark on the scooter you
default it then. True story.
Yeah, that was that was a bad day.
Can I just say the audience have also started kicking in on the
Reese's mum jokes and Mark E Clarke has said have you been on
your back more than Reese's mum? Savage.
I have to read the good words. Out, she's pretty decent.
Yeah, Reece's mum is. And then somebody else has
commented. How's Reece's mum?
Has she gone out on a date with Carl this evening?
Oh yeah, that's a good. I would explain why Carl isn't
here. Yeah, yeah, with your.
Mom, have you met Reece's mum? Now do you play rugby?
A lot of people say lots of people have it, a lot of people.
I don't play rugby. Why would that help or hinder
my? Challenge.
I'm not too sure that's great. She's the master for the local
rugby team. Nice, if you can imagine what
that is. Yeah.
Anyway, on a different. Side right, Matthew, please talk
to us about. Hang on his couch, says.
Work hard, play harder, somebody's commented.
Has Reece stolen his mum's baseball cap as she plays harder
than anyone we know? Thank you.
Right, you are a massive car fan.
Yeah, what have you got right? An aerial nomad.
It's my favorite thing ever. What's an aerial name?
An aerial atom but an off road 10.
OK. Get out from the screen.
I've got a 1968 Ford Mustang fastback.
Aerial Nomad. I've got yeah, that's the,
they're the best, honestly, that's the so it's so funny.
What is? That the boogie to me.
Honda K-24 Supercharged, Yeah. In a piece of scaffolding. 750
kilos and 300 horsepower. They're so they're so sick.
Even on a track they're brilliant.
Rear wheel drive, No, Yeah, no assistance.
Why would hydraulic? Handbrake, How did you get to
buy that? Because that's a weird thing to
buy. The guys that a lot of the
aerial guys down at the factory, like big mountain bike fans and
I said you want to just come down and have a play in one on
Salisbury Plains. I was like, yeah, 100%.
It could be that one. It looked exactly like that.
That might be their demo one. There in the window.
And I thought that it's not possible to have more like it
was a pit bike for the road. Do you know the fun you have on
pit bikes? You just don't care about them?
It's that on the road, yeah, you can jump roundabouts in.
It's so sick. But you've you've driven the
cars like that. But I love that one.
It's actually because it's made by aerial.
Really good cartoon for that, the Mustang.
So the Mustang, so that's a obviously a bit of a powerhouse.
Yeah, well, it's not the huge engine one, but it's still, it's
just, I just love the look of them.
It's so sick. It's a bit like the gone in 60
seconds one. Yeah, and then you've got a. 360
challenge for Dali. Which is very, very special car.
Yeah, very special car. I love that.
I love it so raw. So do you know?
What I mean they made of those. Less than F 40s.
I don't know the actual number, I think it's around 1000.
And that's the one with like it's got like a grill on the
back as like mesh. On the back, yeah, yeah, there
wasn't that many options on them.
They did do like these plasty glass ones and the windows have
got like the proper race class that's really rare.
But there's not not tons of options on them.
Most of them have got the strike or stripe.
They're really special. Values on them have going
absolutely insane. People are going down that sort
of the more race car, the more raw.
It's like you even convert it. You could buy really cheap like
challenge cars and then get them Rd. legal.
Can you do that in the UKI? Think so you could.
Pass an IVA, right? Yeah, because that's what I was
going to buy. First was a 360 challenge that's
been important. Had been imported from Japan and
that someone had made Rd. legal. And had like an IP headers.
It was so sick. And then a friend of mine said,
well, that's pretty much challenge for Dali.
Why don't you just get the road version and actually have a
chance of selling it in a few years?
Yeah. Do you remember that you had the
number plate was lasagna on this challenge one?
It's quite a famous car we've seen.
Some stuff. We've seen it, Yeah.
Good wood. I love that, right?
So that that made me want a 360. And then I realized actually
there's a challenge for Dali, which is kind of best of both
worlds. So I got that two years ago.
And how much was that compared to the 360 if you'd have gone
360 or 360 challenge to dryly? He wanted 100 grand for the, it
was a, it was an actual challenge race car.
So it's still one of one really in the UK that's been Rd.
converted and I think it did the conversion abroad.
It's I think it's hard to do that in the UK or IVA things
difficult. So actually arrived here with
number plates. So he wanted 100 grand and I
paid 200 for the challenge for Darley so but it's one's
actually a car that people want and 1 was just me a mad moment
wanting a race car so you know. 200 grand and what would have a
normal 360 would have been. Less than 100 I think.
So probably so it is maybe triple the least double the cost
for that special edition. Yeah, they are rare and they're
only becoming more popular. And then the big 118 months ago
I bought a merch Lago SV. Yeah, I've got a very kind of
last minute. That's give me goosebumps.
Yeah. So what's for that?
So what's the colours? Timing.
When that was immense. What's the orange?
Yeah, yeah. Arancho.
Yeah. Is that Arancho Bara?
Is that a Rancho Baralis? I don't know.
I don't want orange. Orange, basically.
Yeah. I feel like I'm already educated
enough. Just throwing the word arancho
out there, but. That's a big word.
Yeah, yeah, that's mine with a bike on the roof.
It's insane. It's such a such a beast.
They're quite, they're quite heavy to drive.
It's a big thing. I don't love it.
I don't love driving it like the CS in the like, I love driving
it. But there's something about the
CS which is so much better to handle and so it's so much more
alive. That's just like an absolute
rocket shift ship. So powerful.
The interiors and next level on those.
Yes, and you sit on the Pierce, don't you?
They don't, Yeah. You're not even facing forward.
Just the seats are so cool and the door car, yeah, and stuff
like that. So how much do you pay for that
4? Can't remember now because I've
paid it off. Yeah, yeah.
And now that there's one for sale for 800,000.
Yeah, and that was not that long.
Ago. Divine timing.
No. You're so lucky.
Yeah. That's crazy, isn't it?
It's a good day. That is.
Because like, no matter what, that's worth 6657.
Like no matter. What I know, I can't believe you
can even have these discussions about cars now that you can sell
them for, like, have such an insane device and then sell it
for more than you paid for it. Yeah.
And how did that one come about? A friend, Fraser, who works at,
well, we basically runs Octane collection now down in Surrey I
suppose. I think in Surrey.
He rang me and said, do you want like an insane deal on a merch A
Lagos fee? And I was already speaking to
him about merch A Lagos and I said, Oh no, it'd be
unaffordable, thank you very much though.
And he said, no, we could probably like, it'd be less than
you think because I thought that even that time they'd be like
£600,000 because someone was throwing that in with, they were
giving loads of cars to get a car back, right.
So that was like the that grease, the wheels made the
whole deal work, if they could sell that.
So I said, yeah, I'll try and make it happen.
I can't, yeah, let this pass me by.
So then I am done Virtual Lago SP, which is crazy cool.
And then not long after that, you start seeing them coming up
in YouTube videos and sort of like Shme was saying, this is
the next £1,000,000 car walking around other people's garages.
And I thought there's no, you start sharing that.
Yeah, yeah. You're really pushing that hard.
Yeah. Yeah.
So no, yeah, I just got so lucky there, so lucky.
So it's nice to have you had some luck.
And the latest? Purchase.
Was that inspired by you? Really.
Yeah. A guy Auto Superliger.
What I call car yeah gem one as. Well, gem one.
In which in grey yeah, very very cool car Grigio Telesto, Reece's
tap and as fast as you can there and every pretty.
Which Furlong has found for me. Yes.
Yeah, they're good eggs, aren't they?
Yeah. Which colour is yours?
Grey, it's not. You've failed.
That's you did that video where you're just driving up and down
the country looking for like the next car slash future classic,
right? And I thought it was, well,
interesting that you landed on that after like looking at scars
and. Yeah, there was like, it was
definitely like it's definitely one of those car.
Yeah, look at that. That is probably your car.
There's a good chance. Yeah, there's.
It's weird because there's no the Lambo thing is just.
Amazing, aren't? They a great thing and when we
went in it, it was definitely not what I remember because I
had one I had a Gen. 2 back in 2011 and it's definitely what
not what I remembered. I remembered it being a rocket
ship and obviously you've. Driven some bits.
A long way tackle yeah, a long way since then, but it was still
amazing. Well, the gear change is
hilarious, aren't they? Yeah, change gear I've.
Still never. I've still never been in one.
Yeah, it's very, very cool car. Very, very simple, like the
interior, again, very similar to your SV.
Yeah, very. Very funny when, like, so these
cars now, you can only drive them once you've bought them.
You don't You rarely get the chance to, like, have a go.
Yeah. So it's like, you have to watch
so many videos and, like, hope that the person's kind of seen
it through your eyes. But yeah, excited about.
It so you haven't actually even seen that No love it bought and
paid for. Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah. Love it happening this week,
Yeah. So, Kira.
Yeah, Fairlong had sort out like they do all the services.
That's where I got the 360 CS from as well.
So I'd be like, yeah, Hunt like this, so trustworthy.
And they look after the cards. It's like if he says it's a good
one, then it's a good one. Yeah, I agree.
So Kira, it's her son's birthday today.
So if everyone wants to give Kira's son a happy birthday?
Happy birthday. I thought you had one of them.
I have had one of them. I'll find it.
Actually, I. Forgot.
No, it happened. Birthday shout out, Yeah.
Also birthday. Shout out A big shout out to
Chris from Leap IT who came and fitted us new Internet.
So yeah, and not dropped off. Well, if it has dropped off,
this is the worst advert possible.
So it has dropped up. Probably don't use Leap or.
They won't be. They won't have heard the shout
outs. They save me the way, save me
the words. That's true.
No need to be good. But yeah, it was, they've
definitely been amazing and like sorts us out because basically
we were what we were running. Off the Wi-Fi, and the Wi-Fi
thing was many miles away. So it should be seamless.
Now it should be seamless. We've got much faster Internet
and. We've got we want just need to
shout out as well car vertical who are helping us out with this
podcast. So this is the first office,
first proper sponsor I'd say, of a podcast.
And I think it's the first live podcast call vertical of a
response because the discount code is just live.
LILIVELIVE. Not that.
Not Mark. It's just live.
Can you use mark though as? Well, yeah, you can use Mark on
it, but they're just trying to see where the traffic comes
from, I suppose, right, to see if they're sort of like can chip
us next time. So what is car vertical?
Oh, is this where we go into a full on seamless ad?
Yeah. This was smooth.
Well, if you were buying a car and you weren't sure of this
history, then you'd be a fool not to use car vertical.
There's no more car buying going on in this house at the moment.
Are we on the start? You are on the.
Floor but the good thing is when you come to buy a car in six
months time then you can use it car.
Vertical you can use Car. Vertical car, vertical, there we
go. Seamless, no.
But if you are buying a car, obviously we've done a lot of
these stolen car videos and like, you know, the the horrific
situations people are in and have got themselves into a right
mess. If you use car vertical, you can
hopefully steer away from the disasters and find yourself a
decent car. So yeah, discount code is live,
LIVE in the description. Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Think of description. Ryan, can we please go to the
news? Welcome to this week's news.
News not presented by Senna because she's not here.
She's actually living her best life this evening down at BMX
Track. Thank you, Brett.
Brett's taking her BMX in. Yeah, she's got to get that
start gate sorted because she's adamant that she wants to race
anyway, right? Car news Porsche or Porsche?
Are you a Porsche or a Porsche? Porsche, I say.
Porsche. I think it's Porsche.
Porsche significantly scaling down electric cars.
So. Why some electric models will be
ice or hybrid? Right.
OK, so does ice even mean? Internal combustion engine such
as real normal stuff so. They're going back to normal.
Yeah, because what they, interestingly, what what they
were doing is they've got designs of cars, yeah, which
were going to be electric. And now they're still making
those cars, but they're going to put a different power unit.
Good for them, but why are they? This is a good thing, the
Telegraph have reported. So don't sue us.
It's the Telegraph's fault £5 billion loss. 5 billion.
So I don't think they're doing it because they're worried about
the environment. But I wonder how many Taycans
there are set like in a field by an airport or a port somewhere.
Like if if like to be fair, Porsche had been like so take
and take and take and taken for them to scrap all of that.
Huge. Massive, massive.
Would you buy an electric car? No, no, I wouldn't, No.
But obviously with them, if you imagine, I think a lot of their
sales are the whole tax on a director, you're basically
getting a Porsche, but nothing a tax write off.
So that was their big, big sale. But I suppose now everyone's
come to realization that you've still got to eat up the loss of
the car. At the end yeah, at the end then
likely free is just definitely not yeah catastrophic.
When do you reckon that there'll be a time then when you don't
see any of them on the road anymore because they.
I don't know what the lifespan's gonna be, but there'll be like a
blip in time when the tie can was there and then it isn't.
It's weird, I. Suppose like say a car which is
like a a normal car. Now you could put it in a bubble
and in theory it still works in 30 years.
It should start, yeah. But that if the battery goes on
that like in theory, the time is time, isn't it?
Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's in the bubble, that battery is
probably even worse for it if you're not using it.
So like you say, it'll probably be they'll be.
Awful. So will there be a tie can with
a flat 6 in it then? I don't know.
Is that what you're saying? They're going, they're building
these cars that would. Be nice, wouldn't it?
It's kind of what you've just described.
I think they're just then latest models, then up and coming
models like the shapes of the cars were going to be that, but
now they've now they've changed. A guy called Tony Robinson has
just commented saying that she said she shme said on his
podcast. There's 7000 taken sat in
storage. Unsold.
That's a big number. Gin, somebody's in trouble.
Porsche. But imagine there were like. 5
billion troubles. But that 77000 is costing every
single day hemorrhaging and storage costs and appreciation,
yeah, depreciation. So that.
Trickled just being plugged in. And but as well the reason again
so I've been told so when taken fell massively.
What happened was like the the average has got to be a certain,
the average of your emissions got to be a certain thing.
Porsche were behind on that, so they pre registered a load of
cars to get that average down so they weren't hit by fines.
And obviously that started the roller coaster of all of a
sudden you could buy used a pre registered car too cheap, which
then had a knock on effect of all the second hand cars.
So the thing just toppled down because they needed to reduce
this average. So that one move just sort of
like started this spiral effect which is which has gone do.
You know there's a couple of comments as well like somebody's
just put I work for the RAC recovery and the amount of new
electric cars will recover as a joke.
Somebody else has commented saying how safe do you think
electric cars will be after many owners and lack of maintenance.
I would not want to buy an electric car after you've owned
it. But like maintenance?
That's a good point though, is it?
Yeah, Darb, our friend Darb's got a Tesla.
It doesn't even use brakes because it's got the engine
brake of Recon of the battery. So basically, as you shut off,
he said he just rarely touches the brake pedal because it stops
by itself and that's recharging the battery.
But. You're relying on this insane
tech to stop you. Yeah, but you don't.
He doesn't even use his brake pads which is mad.
Right, moving on mode and Miami event, there was a massive
rainstorm which was monsoon like and I'm guessing there were
hailstones that have caused damage to Bugatti Devo F4P La
Ferrari I. Think I saw I saw a video on
that like looked AI it was so the wind was insane there was
tents blowing across this. Unbelievable.
That's crazy. No.
That's probably never seen rain. But like I saw that there's some
bits where like say how that's dipped down.
Obviously that's a bit of a a dip in the the land and.
Floating or driving is. That a testarossa wow.
And there was there was a some bits which were deeper water,
but they're only sort of like the width for this room.
But obviously the car was like how it works.
Windows. Yeah.
Do they not have a weather forecast in Miami?
Look. There's obviously a lot of
Prosecco or champagne or something flowing in the tents
for them to not notice that like.
Jesus. You wouldn't be.
McLaren F1. Yeah, like you.
Said. And I'm guessing that happened
quite quickly. Must have done.
Must have been quite dangerous. That is bad, Bad, bad, bad.
Right, moving on. Still no real Lamborghini.
Lamborghini. Lamborghini.
Lamborghini Tamerario on sale. So we're looking to see.
Who's going to be? The Who's the first one?
Because obviously somebody's going to be in a lot of trouble
and we keep on seeing because they're out.
Yeah. So we're trying to see when that
first one is going to be on Carl Hartley's or Roman's or VVS or
somebody and shit. It's shit's going to hit the fan
for somebody. But so far everyone's being well
behaved. Do you think that might be like
how to contract though and that they can't sell them?
How is when you buy something how can it not be yours?
Like I think registration plates, private Reg is the only
thing I think like when you've paid for that, what they really
going to do to imagine the bad publicity if they did take you.
Didn't John Cena famously get fined for flipping a Ford GT?
Did it? Yeah, or like they stop the sale
or something. I don't know.
I think. I had a bit of grief for once on
a A Mercy Lago event of Recipe and I sold it and made some
money out of it and they started moaning.
But then I sent them an e-mail about listing all the cars I'd
had and how much money I'd lost on every single one of their
Lamborghinis. Oh, Lamborghini.
Messages, right? I put them in the purse you
bought off you, right? So so if you imagine like the my
miners figure was a lot more than that positive which that
one car. Had to spell it out to them and
yourself when you're doing it and.
They never ever didn't even message me back.
Didn't even reply to that like you think.
Oh sorry, yeah, we were a bit short sighted.
You've been a great customer. I'll zip it.
Never even replied. Matt, for someone who's got not
even a hurricane or an Aventador, you've got a Marshall
Lago and a Gallardo. What do you think of the Ravalto
and the Temorario? I don't know a lot about the
Temorario at all. I didn't even really keep up
with what you're saying about what's going to happen when the
first one hits the market, to be honest.
Riwalto I think look insane. I wouldn't own one.
So the Temoraros AV 8. So I got rid of the V10.
OK. And that's what's helping the
price of your cars, you know, without a doubt.
It's like just proof that the best cars have been made, sort
of. Thing that's already been and
gone, which is I suppose. But of owners, our owners taking
them now, they're like. I think I don't, not everybody,
that's for certain, OK. And I think everyone's putting
the money into the sort of things because you're very
classic, aren't you? Is that, is that, is that just a
thing or is it was it monetary value, why you've gone that
route? No, I've.
Just love those cars. Yeah, really.
I've got I've got a GT3 Rs as well, like a Wisac 991.2.
Forgot to mention that one. Yeah, but that like, but that
like picks the absolute boss box of and boss of a like a modern
insane car, like perfect track car.
They know what they're doing. So then it kind of opens up the
pure intrigue of the older stuff, which I actually prefer.
Driving like the CS is the bollocks.
So that that GT3 Rs, yeah, where did so was that wasn't a new car
you obviously. No, it's 2018 and I bought it in
November so I haven't had it long.
So that's a 991. .2 Yeah. 91 Yeah, yeah, that.
Makes sense. Second Gen. facelift.
Yeah, very, very cool. And as just said, Oh no, sorry,
John said. What's the point?
A car goes from A to BI. Think you're on the wrong
channel. Annihilated, just like that.
Maybe. Maybe he was a bit bored, right?
Let's quickly show this stuff, this Williams stuff, because it
is really, really cool. Yeah, we've had some Williams,
so the F1 Williams team have sent us some stuff, which is
amazing. The biggest box in the world for
free T-shirts so but it's really cool there's.
Caps in there as well. It looks like a bespoke package,
yeah. Mark, Jane and Senna to get
every race. I love that, such a cool.
Amazing. Thank you so much guys.
We've got a Roy Cropper bag. Yeah, Mark's got his new
shopping bag ready to go. Then we've got caps and then
we've got other stuff as well. We've got even Senna got a, she
got sorry about that at Senna's. That's mine.
I'll be yours. I'm looking forward to it if you
are going to squeeze that on. We're going to do it live on the
bottom. So wrong Mark.
Why Honest? Just moving on.
What have you been up to this week?
We have been doing, we've been filming.
Breaking the heat off your mum, isn't it?
Don't get that? Don't get what?
I'll explain it to you when we're finished.
Just what are you up to this point?
Come on, what are you getting ready for?
We are doing, we are filming currently a repatriation video
which was really cool. So we spent quite a few days
with a tracker company who when a car, which one?
Yep, Global Telemetrics. So basically when your car gets
stolen, they tell you so they ring up and say is your car safe
because it's pinging? And then you say no.
And then they've got a team which you don't pay extra for
who go out and basically get your car back with no, no extra
cost. So we spent.
We shadowed Joe and his team. Absolutely.
It's going to be a great video, isn't it?
It's very exciting. That's their job.
They're waiting for the phone to ring and it's like, right, this
car's been stolen, get after it. And it's usually got a thief sat
in it. Have you ever had a car stolen?
No. That's lucky that's.
Good. I do use Global Telemetrics on a
couple of them and they said that sales pitched him on the
phone. I did think that was really,
it's so cool. Especially fact, you don't pay
anything for it. They get your car back.
They don't say, well, that's gonna be a grand.
No, because it's all very well and good.
Someone tells you your car has been stolen, you can't do
anything about it. No, but that's like an extra
step, which is like, okay, we're gonna solve it.
And these are people who are like when you see the video, Joe
just, he's obviously one of those people who he's not scared
and nobody. So it's his dream job, like his
absolute dream job like. He's yeah, yeah, he's one in a
million. But like he says on the video,
he's even had when he goes to these foreign countries to sort
of try and get them, he's had like bullets underneath his door
and stuff like that, sort of like empty.
He leaves the country to get after them because they've
already been shipped. They literally will go anywhere.
Anywhere. If your cars pinging in a
different country they're getting on a plane free of not
charging. They will go all over the world
to get that car back. What guy?
Yeah. Stories must be unreal,
Unbelievable. So we've been doing that.
I've lost my list. Talk amongst yourselves.
I've lost my list. Have you got any crazy stories
over the years mountain biking? Any cool stories to tell?
Loads from riding I haven't had a car stolen and once we went on
a road trip and all stayed in a coach friend Sam Pilgrim you've
probably. Heard of him?
Yeah. He bought a big bus and like
made it into one. We could all sleep in and go on
tour, right? And we left, he's in Essex and
drove down through France. Literally on the way down we
stopped and did a couple days filming and we were filming a
mountain bike series for his YouTube channel.
And we pulled over and slept in one of those airs.
Like, not Joe. In France, they call them airs.
It's not an actual service station.
It's like a pull in the toilet. Maybe there's a coffee machine.
Benches. Yeah.
There's always that little picture of a tree and a bench.
Right. Sam was knackered.
So he's like, right, I'm pulling over.
Guys. None of us had a license to
drive to that suite. We all went to sleep.
And he's like three sets of bunk beds at the back.
And he had his camera bag by his between mine and his bed by his
pillow. And all our bikes were in the
back and everything. And we were supposed to get on
the road at like 7:00 AM and we all woke up at like 9.
Someone's alarm was still going off and everyone felt really
groggy. And Chris, one of the filmers,
was like, where's my phone, guys?
Someone's nicked my phone. It was, it was literally next to
my pillow. And we're like, I haven't got
your phone, mate, what are you on about?
And Daryl opened the window and he said, my suitcase is outside
the coach. Someone's been.
And we were like, someone sleepwalks.
Which one of you sleepwalks and all that stuff?
And then Sam the filmer, he said, where's my camera bag?
It's literally between between me and Matt.
That's got all the footage on it.
So everyone's realizing, yeah, we're like, what's going on?
And like, we're like, we've been robbed.
What the hell? This is insane.
And our friend Yannick, the French red black lady we were
going to see, he was like, what are you doing guys, that you
can't go to sleep and then you've been robbed.
They gas you. They're like they gas in.
They've spray gas into the bus and they've come on while you've
been asleep. That's why you've woken up late
or groggy. They're right next to us.
They've taken his phone from next to his pillow, taken the
camera bag from buying mine and Sam's head with fast asleep
your. Trousers still up?
Yeah, trousers were melted up. Yeah, sleeping trousers,
obviously. Yeah, but that's crazy, isn't
it? So lesson.
Lesson is, I suppose, sleep in a proper hotel or service station.
We'd heard. We'd heard that, though I
didn't. We love when you used to do the
boogieing in Europe, like it was amazing, but we were always
conscious that like we weren't going to stop anywhere, like at
a services. So we always used to stuff at
like compounds didn't work. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like a proper thing like. A proper lorry drivers like a
trucker's compound. Because I think it's.
Quite the engine out your car. You're drugged.
I think it's quite like a like, could I say common thing, but
I've I've heard about it enough that it must be happening.
Yeah, it happened to us. It's crazy.
Luckily they didn't get the bikes.
So they didn't get any of that, any of that, no.
I just want to do another happy birthday because you mentioned
it earlier and I couldn't find it.
Our friend Carl Bowie, it's his 40th today.
That's old. Many happy returns of the day I.
Dread getting that old terrible birthday.
I keep living the dream. Check ChatGPT and we are right.
A little bit of an update on the Vyron.
Go for it. So Gearbox is still with Pascal
over in Holland, but the friction plates have been
delivered. So we've seen the friction
plate, the clutch. So the clutch is, it was on the
bench, he said to me today it was Bugatti Day today.
It's not Bugatti Day tomorrow, but it's Bugatti Day Monday and
Tuesday. So they are on with it.
I call it a pro that they're not working on it on a Friday.
Or the Friday. Friday day, awful job.
But we we're, we're on this absolutely crazy teams meeting
on a phone call today with some very, very intelligent people.
And we might have a massive, massive update, which I'm not
going to tell you because it'll support the video, but things
are looking. Good.
Optimistic. The problem is, is every time we
speak to somebody intelligent, they tell us how, like, epic
this gearbox is. So do you know, like you just
think it's only a gear, but like, how hard could it possibly
be? It's just.
But it took six. Yeah, it took them five years.
Because epic means complex, and you're now in that realm, yeah.
Because they even said that even the fact that how many gaskets
are on there? Because there's how many can you
remember? What did he say?
Was it 40? Gaskets or something.
Something was crazy. Like crazy and they like, you
know, even 1 and of course you can't buy that gaskets.
They took it apart. So they've had to make every
single gasket and it's talking me, they've had it a year,
they've had this gearbox trying to repair it.
So. But luckily for me, I'm
intelligent enough to buy it. James says Mark is 57.
Oh, Ouch. James, can we ban James?
Is there a way of like like just stalking and watching?
That's like. People.
That's like people saying your teeth aren't real as well.
They are 100% your own. I know.
Just unfiltered, unturked. Just raw, just how you.
Original. Yeah, original.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's amazing you haven't had any teeth smashed out to be fair
with all your accidents. Yes, if.
Thanks to you nearly knocked me teeth out.
I'd probably break your nose. Yeah, and like got scars all
over me too. We.
Were on a scooter and what was at the front?
I was on the back. We were just going around the
house. Because they were too lazy to
walk from A to. B We actually it we'd have When
we realised the scooter was there, we walked back further
than it was to get. It you've got no choice at that
point, that's. How stupid this was.
And we crashed. Oh, you.
Oh, I can't. It's not in there.
But basically we hit a rock and the scooter just stopped moving
and. Didn't stop it.
And I landed on top of Mark. So I hit the I hit the ground
first, smashed my face and then he like then jumped on me head
bicycles. Off the ending.
So you're. Worried about your camera
though, weren't you? You've got your.
Camera. It did take quite a whack and
then I looked at Mark and he wasn't speaking and there was a
lot of blood. So I did what any rational
person would do. I called.
You. He rang me.
Sooner than check on him. Got a problem and.
Then I sat at the hospital for about two hours and just
thought. I'm not doing that.
I'm. Not doing this and came home
the. Teeth were fine my.
Teeth were still yeah, even my cheekbones hurt.
It was that bad track is drying up which is good you a lot of
you'll be glad to hear. Obviously last year James and
Justin came and redid the revamped all the roots.
So we've had a full year and two winters to compact that track
down. So we are going to be it's.
Still quite squishy though. Yeah, but.
I went up there because there was a box on there the other day
and I just wanted to see what the box was, just to make sure
somebody hadn't dumped a dog or something like.
First thing, first thing, I see something I was.
I don't think it was a sausage dog to be forever, but it
wasn't. But do you think the but do you
think the sausage dog would have been any good if it had been
done for that? I don't think it's going to be
new. You do.
Nice stories. Don't you have like dogs being
rescued? And anyway.
I don't think they're going to do them in a bag.
The role is missing by the way. I haven't had it and I haven't
sold it. So reverse the trailer.
So you're a vehicle down? The roller is missing.
Have you rung the Earl of Warwick?
No ones nicking a roller. No, I'm pretty sure next doors
which roll are. You on about.
The white one massive sit on one.
Not the wedding car. No, that's a rolls a.
Roller. If I see it on the M1 on the way
home I'll let you know. It's.
The worst looking roller that you've ever needed, so you'd
spot it by a mile. And if it was on the M1 it would
have to have been nicked about 3 days ago to get.
That far and what's even more a mile is then how could it be
Nick? Because last time you went to
use it, it wouldn't even start. To be fair, if whoever's if you
have stole it. Last time it was used it was by
James and Justin, wasn't it when they did?
The track. Yeah, start movements a bit.
Hopefully it's. Is this the year for your track
then? Yeah, this is like, I think, I
think we've, what we try and do is get it nice so that it
doesn't wreck everything because obviously as you know, if you've
not got an aerial nomad and you've got a normal car up
there, it just it like rips it to pieces.
So we've spent a lot of time and effort making it flat and we
just haven't been up there last year just but this year second
channel videos. Let's be honest though, most
people don't ride cars normal cars around fields I.
Think they want to? Yeah.
That's good point desires there. You need you'll have to come
back anyway and do a heart lap in a mini.
Yeah, you should do a leaderboard and.
See Star in a Reason Price Mini. Yeah, very reasonable price.
They're £400 from the scrap yard.
But it's so much fun. Yeah, so, so much fun.
Blindfold, race and timed. Oh yeah, you'll look.
So basically it's Gemma, isn't it?
Yeah. So you bring Gemma and you get
blindfolded and you're driving and she's the only way of you
getting around that track by shouting.
She's unbelievably dyslexic. Brilliant.
This is going to be so much. Fun.
And she'll be happy for me to say that.
Like she'll be doing that the whole way around, yeah.
So the even the left and the right's a problem?
Yeah, brilliant. This is a bit.
This could. Be How far away is it from your
house? True.
What do you need to worry? About.
Somebody nearly at the van the one day, didn't they?
Hannah, wasn't it? That'd be good.
Hannah and Matt were. Was it Hannah?
Hannah and Matt were. Or was it Joel Dommick?
I think it might have been Joel Dommick.
No, Joel just went off the jump. Didn't he?
That's a wicked idea. I'm well up.
For a it is. It is a lot of fun.
We are also going to see the Renault 5 Turbo.
E I've got a picture. Oh yeah.
Yes. Why?
It's in the diary before you start.
I'm just asking why. There it is.
It's very electric. What?
Do you want a van? Into that.
Looks insane. It does look mega.
Yes, it does. Is that?
Actual. Or is that a concept car?
That is what allegedly it looks like.
Even the wheels. Yeah, how much they'll cost?
£145,000. Is it that much?
Why? It's a hot hatch.
Yeah, I know. But do you know more about it?
Like how we don't know that I've got 1 so but this is the problem
with the with this. To get one, I've had to, I had
to pay for it in advance. Wow.
So it's well in well in there. Yeah.
Like, knee deep, yeah. Let's hope you like it.
So it's but it's one of it's got hydraulic handbrake.
Yeah, it'd be good around your track.
But like this year, this that's probably why you bought it.
This car is a very, very, very. I just feel like they're not
making many and like the Renault fives how they are, just can't
see how it can't be a good move. But the interior is look at that
hydro. How can that not be?
Yeah, it's class. It's absolutely amazing.
Hydraulic and brake, yeah, that's gonna be an amazing car.
So we get to have a go in it in about 10 days time.
So I think the first, hopefully the first people to have a
proper, I think the first public, not public first person
who's not a test driver like a Renault engineer.
So we go into Goodwood to have a go in that.
Think it be. It's it's in the.
I'm not disputing that. I haven't spotted it, but is it
on a school die? Yeah.
OK, beyond doing a car like that, like a rally style car
with no gearbox, you'd like want to be.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting because like as we
know with the electric, it's amazingly fast and that, but
then there isn't a lot else. But I think it, I think you'd
have to to enjoy that. You'd have to be somewhere where
there's a lot to do just with the steering wheel.
Yeah, And then it's gonna be fun.
But if you just sat there waiting for the next corner, I
think it's gonna be a bit boring.
But like round the track or round a rally track or something
like that. I don't think it.
So you've got one of them coming?
Yeah. Congratulations.
No, thank you. I'm really, really lucky.
Like, it's. Yeah, it's gonna be.
Yeah. It's gonna be absolutely
amazing. Yeah.
You'll have to see that when you get it.
Very very cool. Any more comments?
Somebody has put that they can see I am 100% supportive.
And have you ever had or have I ever been worried with your
purchases other than the Viron hand on heart, no.
The only car that I was ever worried about purchase wise was
the Sterato because I knew as soon as you got it owned what
you were going to do with it. And that fly, that went pretty
wrong as well, didn't it? Wow.
It didn't. It didn't.
It did it it, it went in, it went wrong in the way that do
you know, I was going to go faster.
That's the worry as well. It was only a run up that was.
Oh, really? Yeah.
So that was just a tester. And I had the top of the jump
taken off because I looked at it and said you're going to be in
space. What happened was the problem
was. There's the roller.
The rollers. That was in your head, a test
run. Yes.
So we're looking for that roller.
If anyone's seen that roller, that's the one we're looking
for. Yeah.
So basically it was. It wasn't.
Maybe you should go and look there in the field by the way
that. Was a great video.
I remember watching that. Like, yeah.
It was, yeah, when I got, when we got up there, there was a
kicker on the jump. Like it wasn't exactly, I told
the guy in the morning, went to work and come back and it was
totally different. So, but we were committed
because it was the end of the video.
So it was just that one last shot.
So we took it steady to start with and it just went.
The airbags didn't go off. Went to space.
Yeah, we didn't turn the airbags off.
Didn't even think about the airbags though, did we?
It's a miracle. It's an absolute miracle it
didn't get absolutely trashed. And your back broke again it.
Didn't do me any favours. It was whip.
Do you remember a whiplash we did have?
Whiplash for a long time. It's your own fault.
True. True.
True self-inflicted. Anything else makes you like see
like behind the curtain of the movie stunts where they jump off
of a bridge down like onto the next, do you know what I mean?
In a car and you've jumped 6 foot in the air and you're sore
and bruised. In movies they like to do, you
know what I mean? But it's like that musical.
Thing, isn't it? You know, you've said that
yourself with your your lower wrist.
Yeah, it's just. I always feel as well, do you
know, like I feel like jumping a car is pretty like, because cars
shouldn't be jumped. Yeah, I built one in my garden
for the Nomad, but it's completely different because
it's got so much suspension. The Sterato is insane to do.
Yeah, yeah, we've from a back flipped a car, Yeah.
Well, I've got the video is. That your WhatsApp picture?
Yeah. And when you rang me yesterday,
I was like, what's this? Yes, it's a car upside down.
So this is a test. This is a test run.
Oh, this is the test run. This is the only.
One, that was the first, that was the first time we got fully
rotational. You put me in.
A special round, the folding, Yeah.
Well, we didn't start with. Just tried it like.
Probably went more forward than backwards.
In the yeah there was there was one which did that. 1st I.
Did no the one the the the the kicker bit never dropped and it
came pretty much back down on the back and that that one hurt
me and that because like it basically missed the airbag.
Whose airbag is it? It's mine.
Have you got? Do you still own that airbag?
It's massive. What a thing to.
Own it's 25 metres by 12 metres. It's huge.
Let me know if you ever want to sell it.
Yeah, somebody, somebody's actually interested in buying it
at the minute. But the good thing about it is
it's you'll. Need it for Renault 5 content,
won't you? Yeah.
It's got like a it's like a football.
Pitch to inflate. It's ridiculous.
The good thing is. It's so big.
If you're doing anything, it's safe because you're not like
you're unlikely to miss that, yeah.
Unless you know it's Mark. But I didn't hit it because I
hit it because the ramp failed. But to it, it's massive.
There's a photo of you stood by it in the one video, isn't
there? It's like absolutely tiny.
We did a thing as well, an Instagram reel.
Just mention that quickly where we talked about What Car you'd
you wanted. Have you got a car?
We'll go for everyone. Have you got a car which you
wanted, didn't buy and have regretted that because it's gone
too expensive or that way? Or is the car now which you'd
buy and you'd feel like life was complete?
Is there a car? If that's too much pressure, we
can come back to you. Any car.
To have just in the garage or to
drive, you can. Do whatever with.
A Mazda 787-B Le Mans car, the only one that race with a Rotary
engine. You probably don't.
Even know what it looks like, Not a cloak, but it sounds very
cool because. You've got to listen to one.
It's probably not what you're expecting.
Me. Yeah.
I think that's the coolest thing ever.
That is amazing. So that was an insurance car?
Yeah, but they had a quad rotor engine in it.
And what's amazing, nobody has commented that on the real
either. The surprisingly unique one.
The most commented was an E92M3. What do they go for now?
25 for like a anywhere from 5 to 25 for like a coupe manual Nice
my. Dream car was a when I was
younger was AC 63 but the W2O41 and I've managed to get one with
like mountain bike prize money but the black series was always
then the best one of that and that's the one I used to watch
the YouTube videos on to make me want AC 63 more.
So to answer your first question, the car, I kind of I
think I think that's got away from me a bit now like I they I
would just remember when there were 100 grand and now what 150
that more. That's that's the thing and
that's that's. Kind of hate, even though I know
that every like tides lift all boats and things.
I just think I would. I wish I'd got in.
Yeah, but and it's probably still a good time to get in the
same as it was 100, but it's just mind over Matt, where you
think I've missed the boat, but have you if it keeps going up
where where is the limit like? Phil Fanning, Finnigan there's a
lot of Skyline R30 fours as well, and I'm guessing again
that's because of the like the huge uplifting price.
Again, Lancia DD Evo 2's again the same thing they've gone
like, do you not think? The skyline thing as well though
is because of like the Fast and Furious films.
Yeah, I think it's like a look, isn't it?
There's a cool car. Yeah, Renault 5 GT turbos came
up a lot, 22 B board lot board Focuses, Mercer Largo SV.
So what would yours have been? I made a list.
Go on. Typical.
Just just because the ones Lancia Delta.
Yeah, A. 100% Martini Martini 6, Lancia Delta Martini 6 was a
very very cool car. But we went to see one in Italy.
It was 45 grand, not that one. 45 grand 40. 5 grand it was and
it's now probably 2000 it's. Look at then, they're gorgeous.
The blue seats. It was amazing.
It was an amazing. Apparently they don't age very
well, but they're more and more and more problems that they'd
not really, I think I've heard. I don't know, people probably
look after them, but I've heard that they can incur more and
more problems now the years go on.
Subaru 22B. I'd like a Subaru 22B, but
again, I feel like that ship has sailed.
What about you, Reece? Well, I've not really had any
ship sales because I've only been driving for three years.
But when you said one that my dream car would be a McLaren 720
S? Oh dear.
What about you, Ryan? Ryan's in the.
Room for a bit towards you price wise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's coming at you.
Get your camera. Get your camera on, Ryan.
What about you? All right.
Sam. You're going to say something
Japanese. I know it.
I will. Oh, there's a lot of choices.
At the moment, probably the the. Honda NSX.
NSX so the the the gem one yeah yeah, yeah, they're.
Good. And they're going up again like
they're like what, up to like seventies, 80s.
More. Yeah.
In the hundreds, yeah. Very cool, I like that a lot.
Yep, Jane. I'm like chalk and cheese.
So the ultimate ultimate that I've like always wanted pretty
much. I've got set on the drive.
The big G the big. G but a push speedster. 356
Speedster. Just amazing.
Show us which age in what era. This one I'm talking Top Gun.
Oh, wow, yeah, that that is a very, very cool 'cause our
friend's got 1, hasn't he? Yeah, and it is.
It's just beautiful. But it's tiny, Yeah, but I'm
not. Well, you haven't got to sit in
it with me. How rude.
But they like, it's like the original 4 GTS, they're just
small. Small cars compared to what?
Like especially when you like we look at the Merslago SV, they're
huge. Aren't they huge?
And those cars were just tiny. Have you, have you, have there
been any cars that you struggled to drive because you're over 6
foot? What was that one that you went
to look at that was in the? Having a helmet on ruins it
sometimes like a. Hurricane.
Yeah, even with a Yeah. Ruined like some of the
Hurricanes with a helmet on is just just out the window because
you're already. Literally head out the window to
drive. Well, you, you have to drive it
and you've got it's horrible when I've done on track days
when they yeah, like it's not that I've took my own cars, but
when, when I've say been to like Lamborghini, you've been nice
enough to take her somewhere and you're like like that driving
along. It's not not as nice.
Are you over the top of a windscreen as well in a
convertible? A giraffe.
Really, if I was, then that would be the roof.
Yeah, but there was a Lamborghini.
Was it that blue one? There was a blue one.
There was one that I can remember being on the drive and
you were sat in it and like the windscreen finished deer and the
top of your head was here. Yeah.
I. Think you're trying?
I'm not, honestly. I know what that is.
You were probably higher up. Were you looking from the top of
the window? Looking out the bed, No.
No, it definitely wasn't. And the other one you want, I
know what you're going to say. What micrlenos?
Yeah, have you seen these little micrlenos?
Oh, like a little Mesher Smith? They're amazing.
Like a little bumblebee on wheels.
Look at that. You want that?
Yes. I reckon the roller would be
faster. And have you got doors or would
you get into into the? Front.
Safe. If you have a front, just look.
At. That yeah, if you have a head on
your daughter, if you can't even park me or something, even if
you stop in traffic close to the car in front you.
Can't get out and I'm always, I'm always, you're always
complaining at me that I'm too. Yeah.
That's just a model. That's a modern PLP 50 though.
That's. Exactly what it is.
We saw one. Of them as well we.
Saw the classic car show, didn't we?
Yeah, and it was. It wasn't.
The first sight. Absolutely amazing they have
offered to lend US1 for the day. Which one we should do?
There was an old one that was used to open from the front,
like your Michael Lena. Masha Smith do.
You reckon if you put massive brakes on it, it would go over
the handlebars board roll? That's what one of them Kia
trucks for. Have you seen how they did the
endos in those? Unreal.
That would be such one of them. And just make it roll around
your track. Yeah, at any moment you can just
stamp on the brake and do a quick board roll.
See, I always thought as well with a boogie and I'm sure this
is possible. Do you know like when you endo a
boogie, if you put like if I feel like you could endo and
then do like a like a long stop? Actually balance it, yeah.
I'll get the feeling you 2 are like but.
It could be hard with a foot break if you could put it on a
finger. Maybe that's just because I ride
bikes with a foot. Like the more you go forward,
the more you'll put pressure at the brake.
It might be hard to modulate, but yeah.
So don't doubt it's impossible. But I can drive on two wheels on
a car and it is ridiculously easy and you're.
Big shit can you actually do? That, yeah.
And you think it should open? With that hi, I'm up down.
I can drive on 2 just. Just like that straight away.
I'm gonna go 900 when we get a million subscribers.
That's how I'm gonna introduce myself when I go anywhere, yeah.
What? Humble how?
Yeah, exactly. Fully humble.
How many you want now? Subscribers yeah, 1,050,000
something. Like that.
So Cornet, that was a that must have been an amazing day when
you was really rolled over. But then you kind of feel like
the next big one's 10 million, isn't it?
Yeah. It's like, it's like probably on
it. Yes.
I feel like it's. I don't chase it anymore.
Chased it so hard to 1,000,000. Like what, looking at every day
and then haven't. Haven't really.
I don't, yeah. A lot of people as well.
I've we've noticed a lot of people there was misfit minds
like a lot, a lot of people when they get to that million, it's
almost like they take the foot off the gas because it's such a
goal. Yeah, that when you're there,
it's sort of probably thinks, oh, today is the same as
yesterday and yeah, changed. Well, the number doesn't even
change because it goes 1.01, so the number only changes every
10,000. Yes.
Before that, it changes every thousand, so it changes 10 times
less. So it's like, does that make
sense? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, I mean, I think I'm
lucky to have that many people that have subscribed for a
mountain bike channel, but I don't think there's 10 million
mountain bike fans. Who was OG?
Was it Sam or was Sam OG? Sam Pilgrim was really early in
mountain biking. Yeah, Harry Maine got me into.
Of course YouTube cuz was in more BMX. 100% yeah, he smashed
it. He was doing daily vlogs back
when I think daily videos helped and now probably it hinders.
It's like what you're doing with like you, you wait and you're
patient and you make a proper big video.
I think that's. Well, look at Ryan Taylor was
the same. Just like daily uploads.
It must just be unbelievable. But Mash Tag's doing that now do
if you watch Mash Tag. Is that what he does everyday?
Pretty much every day, pretty much every single day, which I
think the trouble is it like I think they go so far then all of
a sudden that's them gone for like a month and the algorithm
kills it and stuff because it must just be so I know how bad
it is for once. See How often do you post?
Anywhere from one to three videos a week, depending on what
I'm doing. Really.
That. Yeah, but I don't go as deep as
you. I do on some, but I can also go
up the woods the day, build a jump, do loads of tricks and
call it a day. And that's a video.
What about your YouTube video in lockdown building a track?
In the garden, dug up the garden.
Yeah, that was just, it's so many favours, like so everyone
loved that. We were so invested.
In that, that was probably the, there was that.
And then the other big video for me was the one where you were
trying to do the backflip onto the logs and then front flip and
then front flip. Yeah, that was a an amazing,
amazing video. As well, I suppose, yeah.
So both as you probably like following a proper process and.
Yeah, even just like when you're in the swimming pool and stuff
like that was so cool. Trying to figure it out.
And how you were saying how embarrassing it was.
Well, having half a bike, you know, and a diving pool, trying
to learn tricks, a public swimming pool, Yeah, people just
doing lengths like who's this clown?
He's got Shim pads on on a diving board and half a bike.
Yeah, so. What would you start?
A YouTube channel. Harry Mayne, to be honest, yeah,
he was doing loads with BMX. He came down, started getting
into mountain biking and came and rode with me.
And I said and I had already made a channel and done a couple
of videos, but I'd given up. Giving up because it just wasn't
popping sort of thing. No, just, I was still training
for slopestyle competition. So it just was a distraction.
And I had, I've got this compound where I've had at that
time, like a big scaffold rolling drop off kickers and
airbag. And he came down and wrote that
and I was saying, oh, it's it's like just hard to kind of come
up with ideas for YouTube videos.
And he says, like, what the fuck are you on about?
This is literally a movie set. You've got a film studio where
you can come and learn tricks and build stuff.
And it just reframed the whole thing.
I think that was even because I love building stuff too.
And I realized, oh, people might even want to watch me build
ramps. And actually that's probably
become 50% of my channel. And just like people like
watching people build cars, not just drive them, you know?
The block paver one in the That Gardens ice.
Yeah, pump track, 6000 bricks, all just yeah.
And, and the compound like that's that airbag is fully out
all the time. Is it the one on the on the?
Exposed. Yeah.
Not inflated. You can leave them.
Yeah. Is yours rolled up?
It is now Jesus. That takes up so much space.
It was out for outside for three years, Yeah, but like, it was
just. It just bouncy castles at the
end of the day. Yeah, but as had mice and
everything living in it. Yeah, they loved.
It when you blew it out they. Loved it, honestly they're.
Like any day now, he's gonna come back and blow this out.
Three years, like yeah. When I think back about the
hours spent. Oh geez.
Doing that airbag. Putting the coat, I used to
remember that our dirt I used to come back.
Yeah, filthy. Because used to have to like it.
Gets covered in that monkey. And I used to have to get in it
to because it was so big. Like it would inevitably always
like crease like that on the way in, and that crease would be
full of water. As you had to walk in and push.
In and push it, but you couldn't push it out.
It's too big. So you just have to walk in,
book it, throw, book it, throw and I had a Kevlar top on so but
it was good because obviously I wouldn't have done it into
anything smaller. There was stuff about, but this
is like, you know, it's that big that it was the only way to like
properly stop being able to walk and be alive to try some of the
things we were. To flip a car.
To flip a car, which was. Yeah, right.
All good. Yeah.
Thank you so much. Thank you for coming.
I really, really enjoyed your company.
It's good to listen. How did you 2 get to know each
other by the way? We met at Goodwood Festival of
Speed. Really.
And. Then we've just got quite, I
suppose, a lot of mutual friends and stuff like that.
Yeah, you like your bikes. Yeah, and you've got a mad
properly into your cars and very, very good business of
choosing cars as well, that is. Some so much luck.
But like. Unless I've just got the same
taste as people who like the other, it's all taste driven,
isn't it? Yeah, but you've definitely got
cars there where it's just impossible to be upside down on,
on the on the cost, which is great future.
Thank you, Ryan. Good old boy.
Yeah, good work again and thank you Reece.
Thank you lovely wife. And we will see you definitely
on Tuesday, 100% Tuesday 6:00 PM is going to be a main channel
video. Thank you Carl Vertical.
Thank you Power Max as well for lovely mugs.
Yes, and we'll see you next week.
