0:00 Rule or Ruin: Edwin's New Ferrari
Why do we always make outfits like medieval peasants?
By
the winter's dawn, you won't do this.
Come the first April
shower, you shall not buy a car.
It's been a weird day for
it though, it's been sunny, but just always
good topic for
a podcast, the weather of the day.
Every single podcast, we ask ourselves,
if cars have ruled or ruined our lives this
week, Benjamin, all my by, would you like to
kick us off?
I'm going for a rule.
Wasn't that then?
My last week's ruin was rather lackluster.
Why is that?
I said I had to do basic car things like an MOT.
I had a lot to do last week,
so I was feeling it.
Done.
Done.
Yeah, MOT, fine, advisory.
One of those guys was cutting my tire,
which is not cool.
That's from when I tried to slash it,
sorry about that.
Yeah, that's great.
It's one of the, it's like not,
it's not a big deal.
He said to me, maybe get him changed at some
point, but it's safe.
Did you say, actually they all have cuts in them.
They are for dispersing water.
Yeah, that's where the wheels go,
now they hold the middle.
Actually, obviously I don't have slicks,
I can have those on the wall.
I looked at it, it's less of a cut and more
like the sidewall has sort of split slightly.
It's weird.
Interesting.
It's 'cause you've been haring into those
corners at 190 miles a hour.
Sitting on the M4.
It's like a dreadful fitment of yours.
On the golf.
Then the fitment, I was about to say,
what's the opposite of myster?
A loser.
Well, that being said, it's MOT that
has one advisory.
But fine.
I mean, it's 2000.
I haven't
sold it yet.
I've had many messages about possibly selling
it.
Now we are a few weeks ahead 'cause we have
upcoming
holidays and things.
So by now it might have been gone.
As
the listeners are listening,
it may have been gone.
This is
possibly the one to go.
And you definitely don't have a new car.
You definitely don't.
We know that for sure.
No, I don't know.
That's not even a teaser.
I don't have one.
I've been bullying Ben all day 'cause he keeps going.
I can't.
What happens is they make a point.
I say my response and they just don't listen
and carry on with that point.
That's just simply not true.
We do listen.
We just disagree.
Then that's fine.
Ben is the greatest creator of obstacles.
You are like a game creator.
I've literally told you in plain English
about six times exactly what my plan is.
Well, can you do it in a different language then please?
Ben does 100 meter hurdles.
He gets over the last one and just three
crosses the line.
He turns around and looks back
and goes, those hurdles look nice.
I'm going back that way.
And then just before that, he shoots himself
in his leg.
Goes and gets started, goes and blazes foot off.
I will buy a car at some point.
We have this bet that I won't buy one by the
end of the year.
Well, it's come up Millhouse for you 'cause
there was the bet that you wouldn't move out
by some of Solstice.
But we can talk about that.
No, I'm just saying, in general,
in general, that's looking like it's going to be fine.
We'll close though.
I will say it's close.
Oh, I also hate that.
No, we had this bit of camera that basically,
I said I'm moving and then Will said,
no, you're not going to move by some of Solstice.
I said, cool, whatever.
Why do we always make outfits like medieval peasants?
Why do we choose by the winter's dawn?
He will do it by summer solstice.
And on the first April shower,
you shall not buy.
Car.
And I am now moving, but apparently now
that's not okay because it's too close to
summer solstice.
I just think it's a shallow win.
Then on the flip side, you do have selling
the S2000 before summer solstice,
which you may or may not.
So it's to sell the car, I want to keep S200
then because I like the plate.
So I've taken that off.
And then must, when you do that,
you have to have a new V5 document sent to
you before you can switch over.
So I've now taken the plate off,
but the old plate back on, it fell off.
Nice.
Which was good.
And now I'm just waiting for a V5.
That's good.
Got a little wash.
Someone's going away very happy with that car.
I'll be very annoyed to see that car go all that.
Well, you could buy it.
No, I don't want that for me.
Okay.
I had to, after driving it, I wasn't that
impressed by them.
But not because of the engine,
right?
Yeah, no, not because of your car.
Yeah.
But have we, well, we explained about the
wheels, but we have to get on that in a bit.
But sorry.
Is that?
Is that?
No, actually not.
That's a rule because golf is chilling for a bet.
Actually, a thousand is almost ready to be sold.
And...
And thus end the fleet.
No, I have a car still.
I have a banana car.
I just don't buy it.
I don't think the cream is bad.
We don't buy it.
Ben talking about this car.
I won't buy it.
I'll have an update.
Oh, here we go.
On Ules.
Okay.
Just a quick one.
I won.
Again.
Again.
Is it three, three-wheel bed?
It's a three-round match and I've won every single round.
They keep getting back up off the canvas and
you just keep smacking them back down.
That's got to be TKO now.
That's got to be full.
You're dumb.
I called them and I said, because I
originally called them saying you need to
cancel these extra things you didn't cancel
and now I'm liable to.
Now, what did you actually say?
Please cancel it.
I don't know what I said.
I probably polite.
Yeah.
Nothing wrong with manners, is it?
Being rude won't make the PC and cancel any quicker.
And they said, yeah, this was on the Friday.
They said, on Monday, you will receive an email.
And they said, I'm so sorry.
They're very apologetic and
they cancel them, have an email confirmation.
There you go.
So often come free.
But you've had confirmations before,
have you not?
You've had sort of, you've felt off the hook
before, you know?
Yeah, but and they just, they pulled you back in.
They sent me a screenshot of their system.
Oh, sorry.
I don't know if they're allowed to do that,
but anyway, they did.
Just a whole desktop.
You can see all their files on there.
That's another tab.
Yeah, that would be tough.
I just was saying like all of the list of all
of them, and then it said a bit,
all of them were cancelled now,
including the two they didn't cancel.
And I also found all of the PCNs over there,
and I counted them, and they were 16.
So for now, Ben Rogers is safe from the PCN.
I'm sure they'll come back for some more,
but listen, we fought before,
let's go again.
Round four is going to, you know,
it's like sequels and movies,
where you go, I don't think it's going to
stand up to the first.
And you're like, I'm actually pleasantly
surprised that was quite good,
quite like that one.
Yeah, but we're not making it a fourth.
So four, we should be now PCN four,
is what we should, no, sorry,
we should just be PCN-N.
What would be the first one?
It would be the PCN and the Ben Rogers,
maybe.
If we want to go, yeah.
And then we'd be two PCN, two Ben Rogers.
Parking and the charge.
Then it would be- The parking and the charge notice.
Then it would be PCN, Ben Rogers,
Bristol issues.
perhaps.
And then this one should just be- Then it
should
just be PCN and Ben.
Okay.
That's what we're on right now.
Well, if anyone at Bristol City Council is
listening,
please just leave me alone.
Thanks so much.
Rule.
Despite the fact that- There is still no Escilago.
There's a red car behind us.
That's not yellow.
Which we will get on to.
We worked out what?
Is it going to be four weeks now for podcast?
Come.
Oh.
Okay.
I was not for it.
By the time this podcast out,
we will probably coming up on a
couple of months, I think.
Yeah, it must be coming up for two months.
You should have it by then.
I will have it by then.
Almost certainly.
Yesterday was a very good day.
8:00 V5 Document Issues and Car Payment Delays
I've been going through it for the last week
because there's been some, not issues as
such, just really annoying paperwork stuff.
So with finance stuff, especially with
auction and whatever else, it just gets a bit odd.
So they've been waiting to pay out for the car.
There was an issue with the V5.
I was panicking for a while because I got a
call saying, "Hey, we're going to pay out,
but we found out it's a new V5,
so we don't want to pay out till we see a V5."
So that's annoying.
I didn't know that.
Why isn't there a V5?
That car hasn't had a V5 for the last five years.
And for people outside of the UK,
V5 is essentially like, "Our proof of
ownership, but it's not a proof of ownership."
It's just a piece of paper that says,
"I'm taking care of this car right now."
This is the person who, it's where speeding
tickets would go to and whatever else.
It's your title.
Or where PCNs go to.
Exactly that.
So there wasn't one of those.
Basically, the car's been off the road for
five years and hasn't been taxed for five
years and has had a V5 for five years.
So you then have to go off and do a thing
called a V62, which is where you put a form
out and you say, "This is me.
I've lost a V5.
Here's the 25 pounds.
Please send the new one."
I was told that the previous owner did that
shortly before the auction.
And as it sits, we're coming up on four
weeks, which means that that should be done by now.
It isn't.
But how long is the V62 take usually?
Could take two weeks, could take four to six weeks.
Six is about the most it should be.
But average, what were we saying?
It's probably four weeks, not only.
We've done them before and normally you're
waiting a month.
Sometimes they're very fast.
It depends.
If you've got more details, the better.
If you know the previous person's postcode,
what sort of stuff?
It speeds it up a lot.
But the problem is, I'm not doing it.
I'm relying on the previous owner doing it.
And yeah, they said they did it before the auction.
When before the auction?
I have no idea.
And then I heard that they called me and
said, oh, no, actually, we don't need the V5.
So good.
So they said to me yesterday,
yeah, all good.
We're going to pay out.
And then I caught another call today saying,
oh, no, they didn't pay out.
They just want a couple more details.
Can you confirm that you know the car was crash damaged?
blah, blah, blah.
So I've sent another email and apparently
that is it.
That is all.
And tomorrow the car will be paid for and I
can go and get the car picked up.
So the car has been sat in storage for three
and a bit weeks, almost four weeks now.
I'm hoping end of this week.
So we're filming this on Wednesday by Friday.
You're here, Ben.
I'm here Friday because I'm off next week.
If I can get someone to pick it up on that
short notice in a sort of enclosed thing,
then Friday.
Because also when we got a little exciting
happening next week, all as well.
It will be out.
It's been a great guy to cut weight.
So we'll say it now because it's up in the air.
We'll put this into the ether.
Yeah.
Behind us is the Audi R6.
The power will be revealed definitely by then.
We made a lot of power with this car,
as you've probably seen.
For us, that was just a day or two ago.
But the goal for it was to take it to
Dunsfold to the top kid Hestraken,
race it against some faster cars.
And we wanted the Mercilago and the Tuscan to be there.
Yeah.
Because that's cool.
And we wanted our mate Benjamin to be there
because we said Benjamin, this is going to be
a great day.
It's going to be super cars there.
Yeah.
It's going to be all of our cars.
We're going to have a great day at the Top
Gear Test Track, the place we watch.
We went, I'm off to Barbados.
True.
True or untrue?
True.
True.
You chartered the private jet to go from
Dunsfold as well to block our filming.
Yeah.
And you said to me, why don't you turn it
around and stay a couple more days?
And I said, no.
It's crazy.
Got to go sit on the beach.
The boys are not Top Gear Test Track.
And you're going to miss out on that.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Me and my holiday has been booked for like seven months.
I can't just pop up.
Well, we booked this last week.
By the way, perhaps we had a great time.
Perhaps we didn't
know.
Perhaps only one of us is here.
No.
It's all up in
the air.
The R6 currently got its inlet manifold off.
And
none of the injectors are currently plugged
in.
I'm going to say Ruin, because it's no reason
to rule, but
in a down town.
I've never had no reason to rule before.
Because nothing, everything has got,
not everything has
gone wrong.
A lot of annoying little things have gone
wrong, where, so I wanted to take the get the
wheels refurbished on the Tuscan,
but I was ill over the weekend,
so I didn't have a chance to do anything
yesterday, which means I had to take the
wheels off, leave the car on jack stands,
and take the wheels off manually.
I was supposed to usually just,
I just give it, you could just give it to
them, they'll do it there, I could have it back.
But in order to get it done in time,
because we have a friend's wedding this
weekend, I wanted to take that,
and I have to do an engine service,
and that's now stuck outside in the rain,
in a hail, for some reason.
I was supposed to do some of that today,
and then also when we
12:48 Range Rover Classic Inquiry and Sponsorship Ad
went over to Holland this last weekend to
pick up a car, I kept seeing Ranger ever
classics, I don't have one.
And it's annoying me, I'm still none.
Is there a couple of, there was one,
actually shout out to this week's sponsor car
vertical, as always we use car vertical,
there was one that came up sale that looks
kind of cool, actually Will,
I'll let you please read A, firstly,
this car didn't have much information on it,
it said, yeah, it's just like a Ranger of
classics, black, it's 3.9, it's pretty cool,
just mess with me if you want any info.
Around the plate, if you'd like to look at the mileage.
Okay, we've got 120, oh, 127,000 miles,
and then it just goes down, it goes up,
goes back down, so it's been clocked twice,
and then if you just scroll to the next
photo, if you could look at,
I think it's about in the middle of that MOT
fails, you should see one that I haven't seen
before, it was quite interesting.
Offside front integral body structure is
corroded, but structural rigidity is not
significantly reduced, both body mounts
inside the wheel arch, and then the next one,
it is, body's not connected to the chassis mate.
There's rear brake pads, imbalanced,
main beam telltale not working,
many, there are things.
There's quite a lot of wrong with that car,
so I didn't end up going any further with that car.
Shoutout cover at Call, we use it on every
car that we look at, because it unveils
hidden damage like that, it turns the
unturned stones, as they like to say.
You can use our code for 20% off,
that's cream, if you get a car vertical
report, bundle a load of them together,
get 50% off your next one, shoutout cover at Call.
So no Range Rover, just, it's just,
something's happened, yeah, but I'm still
very happy with the Tuscan.
I had new tires to put on it,
so I finished the last of the tires.
They looked interesting.
They finished.
They are finished.
It looked like a T-Rex took a bite out of one
of the treads.
Yeah, and where they went, I don't know,
I don't know where the tires went.
It's tough to say.
You have to ask the local farmers where the tires went.
You must have heard a very small rodent
nibbling away at your wheels,
isn't it?
No, it was that.
You transferred them from a solid to a sort
of like gas.
Yeah, it's their cloud matter now.
Yeah.
You did a marking, a street marking.
(laughing) (laughing)
Perpetary.
Perpetary.
So, not a significant ruin.
But just, so that's two rolled in a ruin.
Classic.
So to bring it down going.
Classic.
Oh well, you know, there's always gotta be one.
There always has to be one.
There's always one.
Let's start off Benjamin.
Here we go.
Beautiful.
In a wild taxi.
I'm going to fire over an image to you in our
cream podcast chat.
A remake.
And look at this taxi.
Crazy taxi.
I would get in this taxi.
Okay.
Is it in this country?
I saw this in the car park on Saturday.
Okay.
So this is a current UK taxi.
Can I understand what car park's just to get on?
This was in Cabot Circus car park.
Lovely.
Oh, that is a big multi-story car park in the
middle of--
I've seen this.
I've seen this.
What, sorry, is that an F-90M5 competition?
It is an F-90M5 competition to drive it
number plate as well.
Now, this is what I'm wondering because I
have seen this.
It was in a Jim's gig in Cliff,
I think.
I'm fairly sure that was.
Not a joke.
Well, hey.
Yeah, no, literally worse.
I haven't seen this.
I think, 'cause there was a story in a video
of a guy in Birmingham who had an RS3 saloon,
who would have guessed, but it was registered
as a learner's car.
Now, I'm wondering if registering the car as
a learner's car in your business allows them
to write the car off as a
16:27 M5 Taxi Incident Discussion
business expense, and B, show that they're
doing mileage in the car and driving around the van.
So, I'm wondering if that's what they've done.
They've registered it as a taxi,
God, I'm using it as a taxi,
and they're just driving this car around.
That's fine.
The only thing that they've had to do is add
a little taxi side to their number.
No, that's completely fine, but I will wave you down.
Yeah, no, if I see that coming towards me,
it's got a taxi plate, I'm waving you down,
you're taking right.
Okay, can you turn traction off?
Yeah, can we do a skip?
Yeah, sorry mate, it's actually just left up
here, if you could just sort of bang it in.
But it was a private bridge as well,
M5, private range.
And it's a, it's a later, that's a facelift
with the sort of later lights and lights.
Just sideways on the lock side.
Anybody who knows finance stuff and what such
and knows why you might do that.
Or is it just, 'cause it, it's not sensible at all.
Maybe like a, I could see like some of the
sort of chauffeur companies maybe having an
M5 'cause some of them have SVRs and whatever else.
Yeah, but none of them have taxi plates,
'cause they're private high vehicles.
Whereas this is taxi taxi.
Yeah, this is, this is.
Which in theory should mean he has to be able
to, or she is, has to be haleable.
Is that what, what a taxi means?
Now, if I, if I order an Uber and I still,
no, it says their name and then like,
like they're coming in a--
He's arriving in Prius.
Yeah, I see M5 com.
I'm like, yo, yo, no way.
It says five series or similar,
it's full of rides.
You go, that's a bloody M5.
Or is it, is it banged up?
Oh, no, surely not, can't be.
I had a little look, it looked legit to me.
Okay, also the photo you've sent is
fantastic, by the way.
Yeah, it'll be an overlay, I'm sure.
That's just glass.
I swear, for the window.
You've sent it through a glass window that
has some opaque drawings on it too,
so you can just barely make it.
You know what, for Will and I,
easy game.
Love that game.
I thought you were gonna talk about the car
on the distance, which I can also see is a one series.
I was busy, I had to buy shorts,
so I didn't have much to paint.
For your Barbados holiday, of course.
Yeah.
Which is when you get that taxi,
right?
I just took this, mad that I've just seen this taxi.
Here's a joke now, I'll take him one week off.
Crazy that I saw this taxi.
Yeah, one week off for the last two weeks.
You're taking two weeks off the week after.
On to our ML63 tow car.
Yeah.
Our ML63 tow car is certainly our tow car and
has been our tow car for a little while.
It's been used for lunch runs,
it's been used for parts runs,
it gets used.
And today we went into a lunch night.
Today, no, no, we didn't, we didn't do that
at all, no, we took a different car.
Because the wheel fell off our ML63 tow car.
It's really the other day.
Smooth, smooth off, not a single wheel bolt
holding it in.
And for many of you will be going up,
but it was the spacers.
It kind of was.
You're kind of correct.
So we have on basically all cars that we run
personally, I will only have used a spacer
which essentially goes in between the wheel,
in between the hub and the wheel.
You have the wheel hub, you have your studs
going out or your bolts going in,
you either get lengthened bolts going in or
you get extended studs going out.
where they have studs coming out can't be
extended too much, so they only have so much
space to give if that makes sense.
So you either have to whack those old studs
out and put longer ones in or you have to put
spaces in that essentially have bolts that
bolt them to the hub and then have new bolts
coming off the spacer that go onto the wheel
and then tighten into there.
That's what we had on the ML.
And I've never been a big fan of them,
I've never really trusted them,
but we were like, oh, it'd be fine.
It wasn't fine.
It wasn't fine.
We were driving to lunch for up as well.
And also the other guys next door or to Alex,
they were basically all out.
So we had no, there was no backup available anywhere.
We were driving along, I was driving and we
just heard this rotational noise.
And every now and then the ML makes a little
rotational noise.
And we were sort of trying to figure out what it was.
And I was like, I kept going away and coming back.
And then I started trying to load it up left
and right to see like, is it a bearing?
What side is it coming from?
Because I had the door open leading out
going, was this nice person on the other side
of the road?
Wasn't that happy?
No, not happy at all.
That I had my door open while driving.
And then I staring left and right a bit.
And I thought, you know, it seems to be on a
left hand turn a bit.
So I gave it a little bit of a left hand turn.
And then I just, we just heard,
I looked in my wing mirror and I just saw the
wheel sitting slightly out of the arch.
So I came to stop immediately.
And thankfully we were doing maybe 10,
15 miles an hour.
So it came to stop and yet the wheel had
completely fallen off.
And luckily, kind of luckily,
I guess, it hadn't fallen off and then just
gone down the road.
It was sitting on the brake disc,
which does mean the inside of the wheel is
completely mashed, although reusable,
it is fine.
But yeah, we had to get Josh,
some of the merch stuff here to run us down a
jack and the, what's it called,
impact gun.
So to remove to jack the car up,
I didn't have to remove the spacer from the wheel.
Luckily, the Mercedes bolts.
They were fine.
No, it's totally fine.
Wouldn't you believe it?
So we had to put two in.
Luckily, three had shared off in the hub were
not luckily, but luckily there were two left.
So we could bolt it to there,
but then we just traded it back afterwards.
Yeah.
And then Josh then gave me a lift back,
got the trailer, which luckily there was another trailer.
Otherwise we would have not been in a great
shape, got a car back here and then you on
Monday got mostly repaired.
So that's repaired.
Now the locking wheel nut is lost.
So I can't take the other spaces off the other wheels.
So the car's still kind of out of action.
So it's nice.
So, you know, ML doing great.
ML's getting, it likes to put,
it works and it has its little foibles with
electronic foibles every now and then.
But then just once every sort of 5,000 miles,
it goes, I think I'll explode.
I'll hit you with something big.
I think I'll smash the back window and I
think a wheel will fall off.
And it's never like that bad.
No.
Because I'm gonna inconvenience you on such a
grand level.
You want lunch?
Not today.
I don't think so.
I think the rear subframe will fall out actually today.
And I think actually the front glass will
smash for no reason.
But so yeah, we need to fix that.
But thankfully it didn't happen at high speed.
So no one hurt, no one hurt,
but we will be removing all of those spaces.
And if we do it, we'll do it properly and get
proper extended studs and then just do a proper space.
Or we will go to China and order some Chinese wheels.
That's what we're gonna do.
Chinese wheels for the ML.
Now 63, original creamer mentioned next up here.
Yes, where is he?
We want to know who it was because we were,
this is early days of cream,
at a railway station come
Airbnb in Bedford.
It was three different train tracks surrounding us.
We had to stop the podcast in between trains coming past.
But on that fateful day, Benjamin read out a
forum from a man who said, what?
Oh, man.
A person, a lady.
Shout out to the lady.
It's in there, if you look at that.
Oh, I was just saying, it's Natalie,
B942.
Now, this has come from Benjamin.
Yes.
I will say, Benjamin's done this research.
How accurate this is, I have no idea.
No, this is what I was going to say.
I can found it.
No, no, hold on, hold on, this is what I was
going to say.
So Natalie posed the question and she said,
do the creamers.
And that's when we said, yo,
no, we're not going to call ourselves that.
Was she the first recorded instance of Creamer?
This is what I want to find out.
That's how it's tracked.
But that's why I think we need a crowd-sourced project.
We need to know, who started Creaming?
Who started it?
24:13 Origin of the Term 'Creamer'
Tough one.
Who's the first use of the word "creamer" in
relation to us?
I guess you could, there are some other
versions of it where some people might have
been saying that they are "creaming" which is
unpleasant here.
Someone might have said that earlier than
saying "creamer" but I think would be quite
nice to know "creamer".
So that's what we need to know.
Are we giving Natalie her props?
Is she the origin of "creamer"?
But then you're just saying,
you're dangling the credit in front of her
and then you're just saying,
"I'm not quite giving you this."
No, no, we are giving her credit because she
is the one that popularized "creamer".
She is the one that brought it to the masses.
And for that reason, that's why I was the
main reason, is I want to crown her "creamer"
of the year.
I see.
History is written by the victors.
She's the dude who made McDonald's a
franchise, but she's not on the Donald's Brothers.
There it is, right?
She's on your musk.
She is an important piece of cream culture.
So, but if there is an earlier instance of
"creamer", I'd like it to be found.
So that podcast--
People can state their claim,
of course.
It's like kings, when there were kings many,
many moons ago.
And people would say, "Actually,
I don't know if this is true at all.
I'm just making up for movies."
So I might go, "Actually, I am the true heir
to the throne."
Okay, it'll be a pauper.
But what I want is the paintings on the cave walls.
That's what I need to see.
I need to see the OG.
So that podcast was "cream number 22".
So you need to go back from there.
If there is any, speak
anywhere of "creamer".
And it can't be, yeah, it can't be
"creaming", it can't be "creamer".
We are "creamers" to be the
beginning.
And I want that one of my DMs,
please.
Get out of my desk.
Get out of my desk by Monday.
Please, lovely.
I want to make sure that we track,
this is very important.
I want to track it down.
Natalie B.
942, you are "creamer" of the year,
you're one of the "creamers" of the year,
and shout out to you for starting it.
Fair play.
We weren't on board, but you couldn't,
you know what?
The kings could not overpower the masses.
It caught on, and it--
You have to give the people what they want.
I like it now, but for a while it was a tough one.
It was really rough.
'Cause then people would say it out of
context, like my family, my brother would say
it out of context, like my grandmother,
and I have to explain, and it never really
translates right.
And yeah, it became quite tough in some situations.
Yeah, also we must apologize for the rapture
going on outside, which I believe is hail.
I think Ben summoned this, this morning.
It's been a weird day for it though,
it's been sunny, but just--
Always good topic for a podcast,
the weather of the day.
It's been sunny, and then raining,
and then sunny.
Well, we've got the weather,
isn't it?
It hasn't been though.
Let's ask, I think we've been having speak
about this, that's not English at all.
Benjamin, you've put in here electric car
prices, unit chat, 'cause we talked about this.
Yeah, we did, we did have this.
Electric car prices, unit chat,
what that was, was we were discussing
casually in between takes.
Electric car prices.
In the unit?
In the unit.
In the unit.
And we were chatting.
No, basically, I think it's Will,
somebody said that they saw,
was it a Taycan or something for sale for
like nine pounds 80?
I think I said, I looked at purely out of
intrigue, what like a sort of fancier
electric car is up for sale for,
'cause some electric cars, and they're old,
but like they're getting on a bit now,
like you can get that's in my head,
an electric car is three years old maximum.
They're like coming up on 10 years,
basically.
I saw, it was some Audi Q something,
but it was like six years old,
and it was 11 grand.
If I look for the cheapest Jaguar I-Pace on auto trader.
I pace, was it?
The cheapest Jaguar I-Pace on auto trader is
9,900 pounds.
Nine grand.
Now, I'm not saying they're cool,
I don't like them at all, I don't think they
look nice, they do look like you have some
air of money.
I think to a normal person, they'd go some
lovely new car.
They were like a 60, 70 grand car.
What year is that?
That is a 2020.
2020?
So that's a six year old car.
That is a 2020 car with two years Jaguar
warranty, 400, it's a 400 with a 90 kilowatt
battery, that is 9,900 pounds.
How many millages does that?
That has 76,000 miles.
So it's not even, but moon miles.
If that one goes, another one for nine grand
and another one.
And another one miles.
103K, 55K and 105K.
55,000.
Again, I don't know, maybe electric cars are
also worse at that mileage.
The 55K one is 'cause it's a private seller.
That's really one.
None of them are cat or anything like that.
No, none at all.
So the one, there is one that is,
one of them that is 9,000 pounds,
that was listed in March.
Wow, it's not selling a couple of months.
So that has been for sale for months and just
not selling.
10 grand.
Yeah.
If we look at,
I know like, again, I don't know the ins and
outs, maybe they have major issues.
That's normally why things like that come
down quite cheap.
But it still feels like a quite a premium car
for not a lot of money.
How would go wrong?
I don't know, it's motors, maybe it's
electronic, I don't know.
But the theory, it's like--
As I've said, a warranty.
It's as batteries go at like 100K or start to
get worse, but even from what I've seen,
it's not that bad.
2021 Audi E-Tron, that is the Q3 or 4.
or whatever it's supposed to be,
shaped thing.
That, if I see you pull up in that,
I'm thinking you're doing, well,
yourself, 11 grand.
That's the one I was looking at.
It's the crossover SUV type thing.
Yeah, 11 and a half grand.
Now it's got 90,000 miles on it,
so I'm sure because of mileage,
it degrades the battery or whatever,
but that isn't pressed.
There is going to be a C of these cars that
no one will want.
And they're relatively premium as well.
They're not talking about the cheapest of the
cheap electric car.
30:00 Electric Car Depreciation Discussion
We're talking about Audi's, the Taycans are
obviously more expensive, but still the
depreciation of that must be insane.
Hey, the cheapest e-tron GT,
26,000 pounds.
Are they just being fired out at the end of
warranties or something?
It must be.
Five or six years old, there's no more proper
real warranties for them anymore.
I have a theory.
At the end of lease deals, that kind of thing.
Please Ben.
My theory is that, remember in about sort of
early COVID times, like early 2020,
everyone started electric cars?
And I think a lot of it was because I think I
can't do the exact law or whatever it was,
but there was no company car tax on them.
That was one of the incentives.
So a lot of people were basically leasing
them for three years because they got
effectively a free car.
They didn't have to have any of the other
payments that you typically get mugged off on
if you have a company car.
But then everyone did that the same time in 2020.
Three years later, there's hundreds of
thousands of cars that now people aren't
going to just pay the balloons on.
with them.
Tesla Model 3 is for the classic.
If you look at like early 2021,
just ever I went, I saw Tesla Model 3's.
That like facelift one, I saw everywhere.
But in my head, surely, Tesla Model 3's,
they can't be at that price.
Yeah, they are.
I just looked now.
They're 10 grand, you
can get one for it now.
Eight grand for a Model 3.
What's going on?
Model 3 being the small one.
The like three series size.
Yeah, the one you see everywhere.
Yeah.
I'm looking at other just random Model 3's.
Now, it doesn't interest me.
It's to buy, but it does interest me to see
if this makes sense.
Yeah.
It's an odd thing.
I wonder if this is what America in the 70s,
80s, when all the Japanese cars start to come
in and just take over the market.
Yeah.
And everyone went, oh, I'll get rid of these
horrible old things.
Yeah.
And all of those old American land barges
that people know, they're just was no need for them.
They just went and sat and died and got sold
a couple hundred quid.
But is there going to be, is there going to
be a meta on YouTube in five years time?
Where it's us buying Porsche TACAMs for 500
quid and crashing them into each other.
Trying to get them started.
Yeah.
Bomb find, Audi Q3 e-trons, sponsored by NOCO batteries.
Can we turn it on?
First power up.
I just
look, sorry, TACAMs, you can give under 30 grand now.
Yeah.
There's, there's, Paul Star twos,
relatively premium looking car,
I think they're about 40 something grand,
17 grand for one here, that has 60,000 miles
on it, loads of, WID3s, one here with 40,000
miles on it for 13 grand, loads and loads and
loads of different electric cars that were.
So surely if you're a dealer or a trader or
whatever, and someone comes in with part X,
'cause they just wanna get rid of their
electric car, or maybe they're buying another
electric car, whatever it is,
surely they must be looking at those cars,
I really don't wanna buy that.
Yeah.
I really, really don't wanna buy that,
'cause it's just gonna sit on the forecourt,
which one knows how long.
Which probably means they're offering half of
what that's worth.
Yeah.
Someone's coming in with like a,
an Easter on Q3 thing and going,
I'll give you a five for it.
Yeah.
I don't want this.
Please just take it away.
A 2022 Mercedes EQC, I'll show this.
That is the, yeah.
That's a car that you think you're making
money with, right?
That's a car that if you own,
you're making money, right?
Yeah.
You're a bread man.
That's 16,000 pounds.
That car has, just for context.
And what year is that?
'Cause it's 2022 and it has 60,000 miles on it.
Now, right, it's got a lot of miles for like,
not very much time, I guess,
but,
But if it's roughly, what's that,
four years, 63, it's not that high.
Yeah, that's, also, balling on a budget is no
longer going and buying a Bentley.
It's going and buying a three-year-old Audi
electric car and go, "Brian,
you make flex culture, "bout to go crazy with that."
Per private regs on that, people have no idea
that's not brand new.
What I'd like to know, maybe I might have a
look at that.
Might have a look at that this evening,
is what a warranty is like.
Yeah.
Well, obviously they will be able to market
warranties, but I don't know how good they
are for electric cars.
They're not very good for petrol cars or
diesel cars, but what is a, four-year-old
car, how bad is it to go to Audi or to Jaguar
or wherever and say, "I want that warranty
for another three or four years."
'Cause if you can still get that for a
reasonable price, it feels like,
I don't want an electric car,
but it feels like a relatively okay
proposition or something you might just use
to get to work in or whatever.
I will tell a personal story.
Okay.
My dad actually bought a Model 3,
it has a Model 3, 'cause he just,
you know, he just was going up on that way
for working stuff.
I bought one in that early time when everyone
was getting them.
And I think in the three and a half years he
had it, he did like 55,000 miles and it was something.
One set of brake pads, I think one set of tires.
Charging for that.
And I think one bit of warranty,
work on suspension art and that's it.
That's the only maintenance cost that a car
had at all.
So I can understand why if you want it to be
cheap, I got it, that wasn't a cute one.
But the thing is, I wonder if,
'cause warranty companies must have to cover
their back in the same way they do with
people, because you can't, on a petrol car,
a petrol car is basically fine.
up until it's not.
You can't foresee issues coming.
Whereas with an electric car,
you know that battery pack's gonna fail at some point.
It's like selling health insurance to a young
person versus an old person.
You know something might go wrong with the young person.
The old person is, we're gonna be paying out on this.
So let's raise the price on it.
Do the battery packs actually go wrong?
'Cause I've never heard of anyone having them.
They'd replace one.
But they decrease, they die.
But I would love to know what the actual,
in the real world, when that happens.
There's gonna be always me someone going
22,000 miles off that battery's dead.
Do they decrease, do they decrease more or
less than an engine?
'Cause obviously an engine loses some.
Not a huge amount, you see cars that are 20,
30 years old and they run roughly the same
power as they did new.
But a lot of old, like higher mile engines
tend to lose a little bit of either economy
or whatever, even our lupo like that.
If that was a brand new car,
it would probably do almost the figures it should do.
But 300,000 miles later, it has degraded.
But I would imagine an electric car,
the percentage is higher.
That was, they were supposed to be 100 miles,
I didn't even do 50.
And that's half the amount of range,
and that was in 10 years.
That's rough.
Then the Tesla Model S, the Alex Nachtlot
bought, that was almost half a million miles nearly.
Yeah.
And that seems, I mean, granted,
it wasn't doing 400 miles on range,
but it was still doing probably 60% of what
it was from you.
Didn't that car have some sort of battery work?
I think it had a warranty.
I thought it was just that it was that was legit mileage.
Oh, maybe.
I don't know.
But yeah, I feel I would love to know what
the actual real world thing is,
if it is, and then if it gets to 150,000
miles and you have 80% capacity,
is it actually that bad?
No, especially.
Especially if there's no maintenance to it,
no oil changes, none of the money.
And if you paid eight grand for a
three-year-old car, hey, man,
why not?
Crazy.
The thing that would scare me is the fact
that it's got all of the modern electrics in the car.
Stuff like there's no, I can't,
if the electrics in the car die on a Tesla,
how do I turn the car on?
I can't do that.
But most of them have a 12-volt battery as
well to power the inside.
Yeah, but what I mean is that like,
in this RS6, right, I don't know a good
example, but in most petrol cars,
you can still start the car and just,
even with lights on a dash, whereas electric
car, if something goes wrong in the main
screen computer, you're done for it,
you can't turn it on, you can't go anywhere.
You know, something we may find out,
pro tip, we probably won't.
We weren't less than four pound eight here
then, maybe we will.
There was still a demolition derby.
Moving on to something completely different.
I've got a game from you, Edwin,
to rank the big six Ferraris.
We did it with the Lamborghinis last week,
Benjamin.
I'd like to start.
So I don't know Ferraris.
Do you know what the big six are?
La Ferrari.
Yep.
F-80.
Yep, 80.
The Welsh, the Welsh one.
An Enzo.
Correct.
An F-50.
Correct.
That's four.
Yeah.
Good numbers.
No, keep going on that number.
Oh, F-40, of course you do.
There you go.
That was the last one.
288 GTO.
We've never got that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Gonna upset some folk kicks,
I don't know any of them.
Well, there you go.
I'm gonna go.
What's last?
Let's start last.
288 GTO, no idea what that is.
I'm setting to hear that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't care as well.
There'll be comments being like,
he doesn't know.
Next one, number five.
Yes.
I'm going to go with an F-50.
Whoa.
Because I don't
care for it.
It's an interest.
Comparatively to the
other.
Oh, no, I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing that at all.
No, I'm not doing any of that.
I'm starting again for this dress.
What do you know about the F-50?
Stop.
Can you just summarise in the F-50 what you know?
I'm not, this is teasing, I just want to know
what you know.
Is a more modern version of an F-40.
Okay.
And I think they look worse.
What engine is it a lot?
It's a V12.
It's a good stock.
No turbos or turbos.
No turbos.
Okay, good.
Manual or automatic?
They're only manual.
Okay.
Are they?
Oh yeah, they're on a 50.
I used to say it is only a manual.
I think.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to start again.
Because I had a thought.
There's one of them in there that will be
going last for me.
Okay.
That's F-80.
All right, okay, so then you guys,
I'd even over a 2.8 that you have no idea about.
But genuinely, as a personal thing,
surely you prefer, because you like modern cars.
I guess by default, I'd have to,
but I don't feel anything to it.
But surely you feel more to it than a 2.8.
If you saw an F-80, you'd go,
"Oh, an F-80."
Whereas if you saw a 2.8, you'd just be like,
"That's an old Ferrari."
Let me have a look at this thing.
Oh, that's quite cool, actually.
2.8's very cool to look at.
Yeah, no, you know what, now I've seen it,
I actually do know that car.
Okay, so you're resetting.
Hey Ben, what would I like to rank your top
six Ferrari big ones?
Hey guys, a great question, I know all of them.
Straight off the top.
Number six is gonna be an F-80.
Okay.
Number five is gonna be a 2.8 GTO,
which I know a lot about, but you know,
for me it's just, it's down the list.
Yeah.
Number four is, for me, it's gonna be an
F-50, 'cause I just don't love how it looks.
Sure.
I know people can go get upset about that.
I wish I get, but I don't.
(laughs) Three, for me,
He's going to be--
Impossible.
He's going to be what's left?
That's completely--
An Enzo--
You haven't done an F-40--
I don't know.
F-40, a la Ferrari.
Okay, I'm going to go for a,
Enzo la Ferrari--
F-40.
F-40.
I'm going to--
Supersemble.
Just three.
I'm going to go for the--
Is your favorite ones as well?
For me, Enzo.
Also, I could have done Ben's forum.
I knew this was coming.
Then it's gonna be in number two.
Yeah.
What's it gonna be?
The F-40, F-40.
And the one's la Ferrari, because--
Yes.
Now, you may be sad by this,
people listening, but for me,
la Ferrari, remember, when that thing came
out, I would have been--
24.
Then what year, 2012?
It's like two.
That wasn't what I was born.
I would have been pretty 10.
Yeah.
So, when I was getting into cars and seeing--
What do you mean, probably?
You know the year you were born.
What year were you born?
I don't know if la Ferrari came out.
2013?
You were born in 2013?
No.
(laughs)
Blimey.
You're looking mature.
(laughs)
So roughly a circle.
2003, your birth year.
No, 2002 I was born.
Oh, right.
Perhaps to Enzo, that's actually quite sad.
Enzo would have been grand spankers.
Yeah.
You wouldn't have no, you would just go,
"Where?"
Well, Enzo's getting around.
Oh, you're still with me 10 years later.
20 years later.
Yeah, I don't know.
I like them, but for me, la Ferrari is number
one, is when I was a butter boy and I was
looking at cars and going, "What the hell is that?"
That came out.
And I'm thinking, "For me, holy trinity."
That's a big thing for me, because I don't
know what it's equivalent for you guys.
Something.
That had a trinity.
It was probably CGT, Enzo and Zonda.
Yeah, that's fair.
So for you, when you were a kid,
you were like, "What are these mystical machines?"
For me, it would be holy trinity.
I think we were lucky we had a more than a trinity.
Yeah, we had--
We had SLR planning a job here.
SLR planning a job here in the six,
fouries in there.
You've got--
I believe--
A plethora.
I believe the early 2000s was the golden age
of supercars.
Fair.
I believe it for a fact.
You know that people will go,
know the 80s and the 90s because we had,
you know, Countaches and diabolos,
but you didn't have this concentration of
just three or four years where everyone went mental.
Let's make the most mental stuff.
We probably don't have a long left.
Put all the cool stuff out, bring the whole ocean out.
And just arrange as well, like,
the muck making stuff and then Lamborghini
coming out on mad stuff and then Pagani
coming up and going, "You know what,
we're pretty big in the game."
Kurnig said coming out was stuff.
Veyron coming out basically.
Only 2000s, that is, that is,
2000 to 2010s probably.
Oh for it.
Probably 2000s are like the early 2010s
'cause when you're thinking of La Ferrari and stuff.
Yeah.
But when the hybrid stuff came in,
that felt like a--
That was the end.
That hybrid Trinity felt like the--
Looking at the end.
It was a peak in terms of performance and
technology, but it felt like that's the last
you're gonna see of that.
Yeah.
'Cause every engine after this is gonna get
smaller because of those hybrid bits.
Last time I felt something.
Fair.
What, 2010?
Yeah, just generally.
But why can I ask?
Why--
No, good.
Well, you can't end up.
Well, I am asking.
Okay.
F40 above end zone is what you put.
Yes, for me.
Because if I'm being honest with you,
and I'll be honest with you right now--
Okay, just be honest with us though,
yeah.
Okay, so honestly speaking--
I'm honest with you.
Truthful.
In a totally candid way, I basically am a
child of social media.
I grew up with social media,
not to the degree that children now are now.
I didn't have real as well as a child,
that sort of thing, but I've grown up--
So that's such a--
Such a gen Z thing.
No, I didn't have like reels.
On God on God, bro, I didn't have reels.
No, I had like social media around,
and as I've become an adult--
I had like vine, I don't know if you guys
heard of it.
No, mine was pretty sick.
Lack of car content on it though,
to be fair.
Yeah, Vimeo is the one.
As I've grown up, I've had social media like
most of my life, and as going into adulthood,
I've seen a lot of the cars that were cool
back then that really come back around and
become really cool now, your GT3.
F40 is one of the--
F40's classic.
But it's Instagram cars.
So for me, the reason I like an F40,
and I'll be honest with you,
I don't know a lot about them.
I've seen a few in person, luckily.
What
can you tell me about Ferrari F40?
It looks like it's sad,
but in a sort of aggressive manner.
Okay, I meant more
like, you know, facts about it.
(laughing)
I don't really see the sadness on his face.
And until the pop-ups come up,
I think you can really think of the giant eyes.
It's a V8, it's twin turbo, it'll wanna kill you.
It's pretty manual, as in like--
Yeah, not Spanish.
Not Spanish, not Spanish, fella.
It is manual, but as in like,
it's a pretty Aurora experience.
But it's a car that I've seen on social media
stuff, so it's more of a far as I know about more.
Would you like to know a fact that maybe you
didn't know that the two eight eight GTO is
essentially the F40.
So the two eight eight was developed as a V8
twin turbo manual, and they just essentially
evolved it to the F40.
They didn't, they weren't that much different.
So why is your my list?
No, because that's where the beginning was.
Okay.
The F40 is not like a ground up with,
we're creating this thing, man.
They just basically took the two eight eight,
read it, read it, read it the body and load
of other bits and bogs.
It's not identical in any way,
but, I think is because it's trendy.
Yeah, I'll admit that.
F40 is a, it's the Instagram retro supercar.
Yeah, it is.
And for good reason as well,
it's not 'cause it's a bad car or anything.
Not it stands up today, but there's lots of
old cars you see 'em and they,
you'd be disappointed by it,
but I don't think anyone would be
disappointed at driving or even being a
passenger in an F40.
Or just seeing an F40 special.
To me, it's just something I've seen a lot.
So I just, that's probably why I put it above an end.
I like an answer.
In my head, I was trying to toss up between those two.
Okay.
And it's funny because also F40 is by far the
most made of all of them.
Yeah.
So I just love it a hundred or something.
So two eighth eights, how
46:14 Ranking Ferrari Models Debate
many, two eighth eights?
Nine.
No, I found.
Will, I'd
say 287, 272, some people sometimes say 270,
you know, F40,
Ben.
272, 750.
I think it's 1100 or something.
1300 under level.
F50s, Ben.
600.
Well, 400.
349.
Enzo.
Enzo's gonna be, I think there's more of Enzo.
I
think there's 750 Enzo's.
Enzo was a weird one, wasn't it?
Where there was a number announced and they
didn't, they went over that.
Yes.
Was it like 699?
They said 399 and then they gave a last one
to the Vatican.
Yeah.
But there are more.
The Vatican.
Yeah, the last one was given to the Vatican,
which they raffled off charity.
Oh, I think we're at the Pope.
I think we're at
the Pope's end room.
And then LaFerrari then.
LaFerrari,
I think I know this.
I don't.
I'm also 500.
I think
it's, I'm, no, I know what it is.
Here we go.
It's 899.
No, that's no, that's 19.
Missed me on supermarket sweet.
No, it's 700.
And there's a purter as well,
so.
Ben, give me a number, stop shouting all of
the difference.
Sorry, sorry, it's 700.
700.
700 and 100 purters.
You, you, there were, it came around a few
times, $4.99 in coupe, 210 purters for a
total of 709.
Okay, I didn't know.
No, but you hit 700, you're like 700.
700, somewhere.
And then I don't, F80, we're still yet to see.
And Ferrari are pretty vague with numbers and
stuff, so they just go, they were gonna make
$499 in these.
Oh, you made four of these.
And then the end, so it was like people went,
we have found more bins than that.
And there's more and more.
There's more and more, they just went,
oh, it's kind of really well,
this ends up.
Will, whilst you're ranking,
my five would be F80s at the bottom by some
way at the moment.
The recent Mustache delete one,
the one that said a little shave,
still doesn't make it go up anymore,
and also on the chart doesn't move it either.
Then I would probably put a two A8,
four fifth,
sorry.
I like the two A8, and I think it's amazing,
I think it's incredible to look at,
it looks good, obviously it's sort of three
O8, three to eight, and then wider,
see the gearbox hanging out the back,
it's very impressive car, but when I see one,
I don't feel the fizz that I would feel with
the others that are coming.
Then I would probably go La Ferrari,
which is, again--
God, I just hate you.
I know, and I love a La Ferrari,
I think La Ferrari is really cool,
but again, it's incredibly special.
I always think of like, how would I feel if I
just saw one randomly on the street?
And there is one, I can't get to it,
but when I saw it, actually,
on my way to DK, I saw a La Ferrari on the street.
And I was like, oh God, wow,
I was in La Ferrari.
But then it was like, okay, that was La Ferrari.
And then it was like, okay, I don't feel that
much towards it.
And then--
Where am I?
Did we tell you, boy, that when we were all
the way back from DK, we saw the La Ferrari
prototype, just driving all the road?
Yeah.
Did you?
Just driving through a little village?
Yeah, just--
Well, a 4/8 thing.
No, not that it was a different prototype.
It's all camoed one.
Wow.
Quite a matte black type thing.
You were like, guys, no, you're demo testing.
Yeah.
It's been a while.
It's been a while.
A left or a right.
I'm going to get back to Maranello.
True, mate, I've done F-80, 2/8,
La Ferrari.
I've got three remaining.
I'm traveling into my numbers.
I would probably go F-40, third.
Wow.
It's a tough toss-up, but in recent years,
I've gone, I would go F-40, then F-50.
F-15 recent years, I've just been,
'cause it was like for a long time.
I liked it, obviously.
It was a popular car, and they've always been expensive.
But it was the car that followed up the F-40.
The F-40 was the final car that Enzo signed off.
It was the Ferrari.
And even F-40s went through a phase where no
one really wanted one.
But still, it was a tough act to follow,
and the F-50 was like, oh, it looks odd.
It had the 360 looks and whatever else.
But when you look at it now,
it's amazing.
The engine is part of the chassis.
It's actually bolted to the bulkhead,
basically, behind you.
You have an LED dash, level steering wheel.
The interior is just really,
really simple and cool.
If you haven't looked at the dash on a F-50,
have a look, it's one of the coolest
speediters on any car.
Yeah.
And the engine is, it's one of those engines
where it's like, it's based on an F1 V12,
but it is not, I'm not going to say loosely.
I think the block is there, but obviously
they had to make it road worthy.
But a V12 manual throw that looks like that
with the wing integrated, and also has the
mesh at the back where you can just see the
exhaust and that through it.
And then, I just think that's so cool.
Number one is Enzo.
F-43rd, F-52nd, first is Enzo for me.
Enzo just seeing one, one of the most special
things ever.
Like you said with the La Ferrari being that
car you saw when you were growing up,
the Enzo was that car.
Yeah.
Maybe it's the Ferrari we grew up with.
Interesting.
It is.
Now, I'm the, I'm identical to Will.
You actually look sort of, when you look
similar by the time.
The, my list is the same as Will.
But the La Ferrari is fourth and the 288 is third.
Okay.
I've, I've demoted the- Right,
we throw it from bottom to top.
Bottom, F80.
Yeah.
Then comes the La Ferrari.
So you've gone- I found one.
I feel nothing towards La Ferraris.
I don't like how they look.
Really?
I don't like, I don't, I don't,
I don't like them.
Which of you list?
I don't like you.
Out of the six, 'cause I think the,
I think this is slightly different to how
you'd rank them, I think.
Which one, if someone said you can take one
for a drive?
Enzo.
We'd still be Enzo.
Because, simply because, and now,
and I, you know what, I think I'd learn to regret that.
But it isn't in that I was 19 or 20.
I was in my golf coming back from Brooklyn's,
I've talked about the podcast before,
Brooklyn's show.
And there was an, and it's just an Enzo that
just crested a hill as I was coming towards this hill.
So it was 20, 30 minutes away from me.
And I, I felt a like a child and I felt emotional.
Like I was genuinely, it was the first time
I'd ever seen one driving.
All I saw was every top gear episode,
I watched every book my dad bought me
everything that Enzo on the cover.
And I was like, it's the best car in the world.
Literally the best car in the world driving opposite me.
So I'd have to, because if I,
I think I'd have way more fun in an F40 or a
50, but I'd always be like, I never got to
drive the Enzo.
Even though F40 was third, it would be a
tough, like toss up between,
because just saying like you've driven an F40.
Yeah.
The car that everyone says is,
is one of the best driving cars,
the last car Enzo signed off and like,
just have a go in it.
'Cause Enzo's, I'm almost happy just to see it.
Yeah, it's true.
Just to see it and just to hear someone else drive it.
I'm like, that's pretty cool.
But in F40, I'm like, when I see videos of
people driving it, I'm like,
I want to have a go in that.
I really want to drive that.
So yeah, that would be tough.
Ben, laugh.
The question is, what car am I crashing?
You know, 'cause it's one of them.
The question is, what car is the Ferrari I'm driving?
You'd be very upset in an F40,
I think.
Yeah, I think that would be,
you know, there's a junction in Reading that
would hate to see me on F40.
(laughing)
I would say, you know what, to me it would be
a toss-up between an Enzo and a LaFroy.
Okay.
Probably a LaFroy just because if I told
young me about that.
You see.
(laughing)
Is that your rap name?
I said it, I knew that would be a joke.
(laughing) If I told myself as a child that I
got to try one of those, I'd be pretty gassed at it.
And I'd probably be like, it probably isn't
objectively as cool as the other ones,
but fine, whatever.
All right, nice.
Now next week we'll be raking off the
favorite sang-yongs.
Yeah, the best lupos available.
(laughing)
Not the ones ever sold, just the best ones available.
Yeah, I'll also drink.
(laughing)
Next up, on the right subject,
to be fair, we were talking about that the
you, the creamers, we, the creamers,
you, the creamers really spread the gospel.
Yes, shout out.
Out there in the world, doing creams work.
Lovely.
(laughing)
Out there in the comments section,
defending, just saying the names,
Attacking the words, attacking.
Doing all sorts of things in the comments.
And I saw it again, at DK.
(laughing)
I was a little bit like, what are they gonna
think of this?
Isn't it a bit strange?
DK Engineering posted about the glardo,
they basically said that they did a post
saying that the car was sold through them,
mild one, and the comments, just fantastic.
Also, one of the most liked posts they've had
recently, and they do quite well normally.
For the record as well, there was no mention,
there was a plate shown, there was no front
plate on it.
I did share it to be fair, so that was a bit
of a giveaway.
But it was, it literally said--
Go, my minion.
The post is of just Will's glardo,
no front plate, so it's not immediately
recognizable as his car, it just says
recently sold a rare right-hand drive from Neil Bowler.
At the top, Caris, we've got 6,600 likes,
we've got this is XTDC car, right?
Someone with 140 likes here,
just says, my name is William.
(laughing) 815 likes, the cream is no,
dot, dot, dot.
Good stuff.
So sad, we'll sold this, blah,
blah, blah.
And then just a load of other comments that
are just related TDC and whatever else,
some not related, but the most liked comment,
the two top liked comments basically are
crema related comments, so absolutely top work.
And no one being too intrusive.
No, that's it, that is the important fact,
this is, you know what, you get it right more
than I think I've ever seen any other
community get it, you're not overbearing,
you get the fine line, 'cause you don't wanna
go there and go, well, hey, creamers,
we, we don't have that one person who ruins
it for the rest of us.
No.
We keep each other in check and go,
hey, cut that out.
I do think that we have one of the best audiences.
And I'm not just saying that because it's our audience.
Genuinely, I've seen, there's a lot of
communities on YouTube and across the
internet who are, who despite the content
being good, the audience becomes quite and suffer.
Whereas our guys.
And girls.
I know, I know.
But the whole gang is just great across the board.
So keep doing your thing.
Lovely.
Also, I've been surprised the range of
creamers in terms of what you do as a job,
what you have as cars, what you're doing.
We've been approached, been approached.
We've been approached by people with a range
of different cars.
I've really been surprised because we have
people who've just got their first car doing
their first mods.
And then I'm now in a Merci Lago WhatsApp
group, which feels totally out of place.
Crazy.
I've said one thing and then not said anything else.
You too is YouTube.
I'm sorry, I got Merci Lago owner and then
Barbados over on my right, yeah?
Yeah, yeah, that sounds good.
You're going the whole day too.
But I entered, I was entered into this group
and then I posted a picture of the car and
said, can't wait to get the car,
you know, eventually in some weeks time.
And then just a couple of people were like,
yeah, no, good luck mate, yeah,
say hello to Edwin for me.
I was like, I thought I'd go into this
57:17 Creamer Community Appreciation and Events Update
chat and everyone go, who the bloody hell is this dude?
And you said, well, where have you been then?
I was driving these cars forever.
But yeah, I just thought it was mad,
there's people with the vendors doors and
Merci Lago's that know about the podcast and
know about the channel.
The cream spreads far and wide.
It does cream in the crop, all of you guys.
If anyone with events don't want to kind of
shelllessly wash and drop the hill,
well, let me know.
We'll just come to Dunsfold because we'll be there.
Yeah, we're going to be there.
They're better not.
We're going to be there.
No, no, you'll be there.
So it'd be fine.
Then we are.
We're trying our best to get one there for you.
I know you are.
Yeah.
Because you can edit that one as well.
Yeah,
lovely.
Oh, I imagine that one.
Oh, that'll be really nice.
You in a dark room with a tear off.
Edwin, I'll show you a bit more Lamborghini
related to J.P.R.E.
and that I saw recently, there is a glaude
manual coming up for sale.
I think by the time this podcast is out,
it may have been, because I think it to us,
it's in a couple of weeks, but it's an
original press car manual, Gallardo.
So the same shape as mine, same color,
I think as well, basically the same interior,
but left on drive, ex-lamborghini press car,
one that Clarkson drove.
And I think it baffled me somewhat,
is that it said in there that Clarkson gave
it a glowing review.
Yeah.
And the photo it's on there that says
Clarkson said this is amazing.
It blows the 360 and the 911 out of the water.
It's amazing.
The handling is incredible.
Now, maybe, I don't know, maybe that's from
Ritten, like it's a Ritten thing when the
Gallardo came out.
But if you watch the review on Top Gear of
the Gallardo, he just says it's bad.
He says the car is very, very good,
but it's not very Lamborghini,
it's a bit boring.
So I don't know, maybe they've just taken the
best bits of it for the auction.
But I thought it was quite cool.
40,000 kilometer car, I think,
and it says the estimate is 170 to 220,000 euros.
But I don't know if they just--
I'm gonna say what I'm gonna say.
Don't say it, obviously, I think,
but you know, you got off a nice money for
your car, but it wasn't 200 grand.
It wasn't that much.
Yeah, that's fine.
Well, no, I was gonna say at the lower end,
it might be closer to, but at the higher end,
and that car's got three times the miles mine has.
Now, here's a question, in the long run,
everyone jumps on the Glado over the Mercilago.
Hey, it's fine, I'll totally call that.
Unless Mercilago prices go down.
No, no, you'll kind of stay,
but Glado prices go mental.
Look, it would be annoying to see,
but I would always know that if I didn't do
it, I wouldn't have that
car.
At the same time, if Mercilago's prices
stayed the same, I could sell my Glado for
more than it would make it possibly easier,
but also they don't come up very often.
Yeah, but you'd still have your car.
That's how you know.
That's how you know that buying the Mercilago
was the right, but if I start seeing them
going for like quarter million pounds,
it's gonna feel like that car that's,
'cause at the moment, I'm like,
I got, that was a great one.
What a great move that was getting in at that
time, and the profit I sold it for,
and then they start seeing it go for ridiculous money.
But it's impossible to ever know that.
Exactly.
But it proves, again, your passion for it,
because I know obviously there is a realistic
financial side of it.
There is money to be made, and money to
potentially lose over it.
However, you're not doing it because of that,
right?
No.
I don't want to speak for you,
but surely your attitude to it is like,
if I make some money, great,
for you it's own the car, right?
If you're not a collector, he's putting it on.
The mercy on go, if I ever see it,
if it exists.
The guy's telling that, bought it as an
investment, which I find it's also,
that car's quite used.
That car was perfect for someone to get fixed
a couple of bits on, and just like pile miles
on, and actually use it.
So, previously Cat D, the body works a little
bit ratty, the history's not great,
but someone bought it five years ago,
stuck it away.
You never drove it, right?
It's done about 30 miles in that time.
That I can't get in my head.
Now, yes, he has made, he's made a good
amount of money on that car,
100%.
He's made a good amount of money,
but it's also cost some money as well.
And I just can't, and even when I was selling
the Glardo, so I had a couple of people that
wanted to buy the Glardo, and I had one guy
who was really, really interested,
and they were basically, a lot of it's via
middlemen when you're doing this kind of
stuff, but they were asking for the original
exhaust, like, is it gonna do that?
They basically, someone who just wanted to
put it away, and I didn't wanna sell it,
something like that, which is why,
when sort of DK said, it's gonna be,
obviously turned out to be JK,
but DK said, the person who wants to buy this
one really wants to use this car,
it is gonna be out and about,
it's gonna be lovely and enjoyed,
I thought, that is, I would hate to see that
car go away and sit in a collection somewhere.
Yeah, they might make a hundred grand on it
in a few years, but I wanna see that car out.
Yeah.
Well, when we do the podcast of JK,
you can ask them what--
Absolutely.
Absolutely, yeah, the invite is certainly open.
We are endeavoring, and we have,
Evan, news open for it.
We don't know how definite it is,
but we want to make it happen.
It would be good.
Creamers biggest challenge yet.
He will be--
Not fun at all.
Other than paying you, Ben.
Yeah, I mean, the lights are still on,
but they do flicker sometimes.
That makes sense.
Edwin, you've put in here, more services,
toilet-based JPRE.
Well, well, well, we're back.
We are so back.
There has been a saga every time I go into a
toilet at a service station,
I seem to encounter a funny story,
and yesterday was no different.
On the way back from MRC with this car,
I decided let me pop into the toilet,
quickly.
This is Oxford services, a classic,
known to many, but I just went to the fuel station part.
I'm into the toilet, you walk in through the
door, now, as you walk in, let's call North,
straight ahead of you, is you've got a--
12 o'clock.
12 o'clock, cubicles.
Okay.
Army instructors, knife the watermelon.
So, on the North wall, we have cubicles,
and to the left of the North wall,
still on the North wall, sorry,
the sink.
Yeah.
Right.
The East wall, nothing.
The West wall, we have the urinals,
and the South is just where you walk in,
it's fine.
We're catching on here.
Now, I've gone to the toilet,
the urinals are full, so I've used a cubicle.
I come out, and I'm using the sink.
I laugh at my hands up.
I wash my hands.
Ben, what's the next step of this story?
Dry those things off.
Gotta dry your hands.
Where's the dryer?
Where's the dryer gone?
I look to the East, there's no dryer there.
I look to the West, and what I see is this,
which is the hand dryer, mounted incredibly
close to the urinal.
Now, keep in mind, it was a full urinal.
There is a man who is perhaps even
overlapping into off the edge of the urinal.
So, for me to go and use these hand driers,
I'm
more than shoulder to shoulder with
this man.
The reflection is a man standing vaguely
towards him with dripping my hands laughing at him.
And to his credit, I didn't even get time to
say I'll just wait or anything.
He just went and just stared straight back at him.
So I just had to wait.
I had to wait for him to finish up.
I didn't just step alongside him.
And no, I thought I will start blowing his
purse across him.
The reason I started laughing is because
those are the sideways blowing jets,
which means if you're ripping a fat purse,
that thing is going everywhere.
That is sending it straight into the man who is left.
So you can just dry your hands at the same time.
Or just inch your trousers.
And that is why I started laughing.
The image immediately of a man being interrupted.
It's just it playing blown everywhere.
So I then again, what does I have to do?
I had to wait till everyone left so I could
walk back in and take this photo.
They actually created a piss in the wind simulator.
That's what I thought.
So M40 services, come on, man.
Fix it.
It kind of looks like it could have gone a
little bit more right as well.
That's a sink I'm assuming, Ben,
right?
You can see all the sink I'm writing.
But that it could have gone just a little bit more right.
The better surely because you then haven't
got a walk around dripping hands.
Yeah, no, that makes sense.
Yeah.
I want to know.
Are they doing it as a joke or are they doing it?
Surely it is like a hard one.
They're doing it as targets.
So, you know, shout out to the man who was
dressed hard to go about his business.
Sorry for laughing at you and standing vaguely close.
I'm throwing piss.
in your crowd.
And from that to some news, which by this
point won't be news, maybe people know about
this in more depth anyway.
Lotus put a post on Instagram saying there's
a little teaser, sort of a black thing that
would, there was a car in there.
The rear one, whatever else,
it was the rear of a car.
So, and the description said Lotus type 135.
And at first I was like, it's going to be electric.
And then I saw exhaust pipes.
Yes.
So, there are towel pipes there.
And then it says hybrid V8, V8,
Supercar.
So, all it said, very cool.
Type 135, hybrid V8, Supercar.
Now, Ben's looking puzzled at the screen,
because, and you're liking how it's looking.
I'm enjoying it.
I don't like the crushed carbon.
So, what we're looking at is,
it's
called the Type 135 is what they're calling it,
right?
Type 135, yeah.
So, you can look this up, this photo up
yourself, or it's on the screen,
it should be on the screen overlaid as well,
is, it looks very futuristic,
but Ben, I'm going to tell you the reason why
you like that, because those are a vented or towel pipes.
That's why you like that.
into the middle, almost it, it just looks,
it does look quite angry, I like that.
So, there is no front reveal,
this is an autocar rendering of it.
Is it, I think that's quite cool.
It is, there's still good comparisons to modern supercar.
I don't like that rear, that rear window.
Ignore all of that, this is all a render,
this is all made up, sort of lazy.
Well, let's focus back on the rear end of that then.
Okay, sure.
That's great.
Yeah, the forged carbon doesn't feel very low
to us to me.
If we could not, but hopefully that's an
option to not have that.
You can not have that.
Or you can not have it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not the end of the world.
So what else we got, what's about,
what do we, are there any other details?
There was nothing about it, 'cause apparently
it sort of came out of nowhere.
Okay.
I was reading through the comments,
you know, there's people who normally know
things about stuff, like people and what such.
Yeah, yeah.
And they were like, what the bloody,
where has that come from?
Like there has been no rumor,
there has been no spy shot, they just,
loads of us went, oh yeah, I'm not just on a
Tuesday, I went, oh, we're making a supercar
by the way.
Oh, and I have a V8, 'cause as well.
Also, Lotus right now, I believe,
hemorrhaging money, because not doing well.
The Emira, Emira, Emira, Emira,
Emira.
'Cause that's kind of coming to an end,
I swear, we talked about that before.
The Avaya, where that, have we seen that?
Yeah, I feel like it's just kind of here.
That's an electric car, so
it just felt like Lotus are kind of neither
here nor there.
Of course they're owned by a big Chinese
company now, right?
Yeah.
So they're kind of not.
I would love to see them come out with
another, I know the, maybe the Amira was
meant to be that, but an, an Elise or an
Exige follow up where it's a bit more back to basics.
It's got a cool, rev-y engine in it.
It's lightweight, it's about handling.
So I've just, I've just gone on news for
Lotus and the most recent headline I can find
is Lotus offers Lifeline's Trouble UK Car Plant.
The move comes after a year after the Lotus
Reverse plans that it would have ended
manufacturing at Hethall.
So potentially they're doing okay if they're
trying to, if they're trying to bring it back.
I'm about it.
It's an interesting car.
It's not electric.
Yeah, it's hybrid.
I'm just a little bit annoying.
It feels anti- lotus to have a hybrid.
But the V8 thing interests me because there
was a rumor about them doing a V8 for the Amira.
There was a little rumor, I think it was a
year or two ago where they were thinking
about either making their own or finding a V8
that would go in the Amira, which I thought
would have been so cool.
Because wasn't it in that chassis?
Wasn't it rumored to be the Merck four liter?
Those are for some of them, don't they?
So this is in that same article.
The chief executive said that keeping the
plant would be the best option to produce the
Type 135, a V8 hybrid supercar,
due in 2028.
So it's British-made.
Hey, the final supply, the final decision
will depend on supply chain availability,
operational efficiency and cost discipline.
So that's whether they want to manufacture
them, I think, in China, with Geeley or in the UK.
So that would be sad to lose Hethal because
that is,
Yeah.
That's the basis of Lotus.
That is Lotus.
It cut 550 UK jobs last year,
which is 40% of the local workforce.
Tough.
Tough.
Interesting.
And then let's make a supercar,
guys.
If they can do it, there's, you're just
raising up your camera there.
No, I'm looking at it because of the battery.
Sorry, can you just cut the vendor raising up
his camera there?
It was actually wild.
I looked over and there was just...
I was reading what the camera said in there.
It feels like buying an English car
manufacturer is just deliberately playing the
game on hard.
Yeah.
It's everyone that's done it before goes,
there's no point in doing this.
Well, I've tried it.
I've put a load of money in it.
It just loses you money.
Experience company has done it as well.
And the next company goes in and goes,
"Hey, be fine.
I'll have a go."
Same thing happens.
It's not, it is.
It's the going to a cash machine or a ticket machine.
And someone times around and says,
"That's not working" and go,
"I'm gonna have a go."
I'm gonna check myself.
I don't trust you.
I think you're an idiot, if I'm honest.
I'm not.
I only try it and go, "You know,
once in a blue moon."
It works.
Yeah.
But for the most part, they were probably right.
Just have to let them die, unfortunately.
You know what though?
Fair play.
I like, I love that it's the thing,
even like Spiker, where they're just like,
"No, I'm bringing this back.
I don't care."
Yeah.
If Spiker, though, if you do it as an
electric car, and it's at the quail as well,
so we will be there.
Well, of course, we're gonna make it in.
We'll see how tickets, right?
Ben, you've sorted us tickets for that.
I applied and I never heard back.
I also applied.
Have you heard back?
I haven't heard back.
There you go.
Don't worry, I'll do that.
I'll fly tonight.
We'll get in.
Yeah.
It's like buying a British car brand.
You have to give it a go.
Keep going, someone's gonna get there.
Next up, Ben, this is Ben News.
Hi, Ben.
News from Ben and it says here,
this professionally titled piece of news says
ugly ass jag, nearly here.
Yeah.
What's that, Ben?
So the Jaguar concept thing.
Type 01.
Yep, it's now called Type 01.
Oh, sorry, was that the news?
That was the news.
I've ruined the news.
Yep, basically, I don't know what it was called before.
Jaguar.
It's now gonna be called the Type 01.
Would you like to know why it is called the Type 01?
No.
Okay, well, why'd you like to know why it's
called the Type 01?
Is it because they've reset the counter,
and this is the first Jaguar?
Oh.
Oh.
It means it's a zero emissions vehicle.
Got it, didn't it?
And one, it's the first one.
Do you know what it is?
From playing this game, of trying to work out
meaning, we always do far too well.
Think of what you think it could mean,
go, that's you giving them way too much credit.
That's so much more simple.
Children, maybe.
It's 'cause zero is how many emissions it is.
And because, cool.
It's first one.
First one of what?
First one of the new electric zero emissions cars.
So I was constantly there.
Now, what's the first engine one gonna be called?
The E1.
It's gonna be called the V1.
It's gonna be called the seven one for Euro
seven to comply.
The 71.
So you're just gonna go type 01,
then two, three.
I hate that, I really hate that.
It went, what number should we start with?
Let's start with one.
Also, I think I could accept it if it was
just type one.
Don't make me say type 01 now,
that makes it long till I'll say all of this.
I hate it when, like BMW, I like the fact
that it's like, the one series is a small
one, the two series is...
The small one.
The three series is a bit bigger,
and then the five series is a bit bigger
again, I like that goes up, but when you have
like, Polestar did it, they went,
this is the Polestar one, and this one is a
big sort of like, coupe.
Now the Polestar two is a smaller sort of
crossover, Polestar three big SUV,
Polestar four, bigger SUV, like sort of the
same size, and then they'll go Polestar five,
you know, that's just a small saloon.
Five is actually the one again,
but we just re-face lifted it.
You don't know what you're doing,
so you just, as you go along and you make it
up, it doesn't make sense.
So just call it like, the Polestar Dave,
or just give it a name.
Okay, although Vauxhall and Adam.
Good names are dead.
Okay.
Okay.
All of them.
William.
Yes.
No, that's a good name, that's a fantastic name.
Okay, I'd like you right now,
what's the next, what should they call it?
The Jaguar Fang.
I like it.
It's a bit wack.
The Jaguar, no, it's gonna be the Silent Raw.
Oh, that's a Chinese car.
No, that is a Chinese car.
That is a Chinese car.
The Silent Raw is a Chinese car.
Right now, right in that fountain.
That's your Craig right now.
Densa, Densa, I gotta call it for you.
Silent Raw, fantastic Benjamin,
you're on the team.
But I can't remember the last day in my head
and thought, yeah, yeah, that's a name.
I'm gonna hear that.
And it's a new name.
Aston Martin, only people doing it.
That's fair, Aston Valhalla and all the V's.
Again, but they're gonna run out.
You know what, it's actually,
they've kind of gone on easy mode.
They've just gone right.
Sort by V, choose the cool ones.
Yeah.
And it doesn't matter, sort of gods and what such.
Aston Martin Varnish, that's my next one.
The vintage.
No, you can't call it that.
No, you can't call it that.
You can't call it the machine.
You cannot call it that.
Edwin, this is actually from you,
but I've written it.
Yeah, very confusing.
It says F-30, Alfa Julia.
I want, do you remember when we had Richard
Porter on the podcast
and he tasked us with finding the Jayco,
he said this thing
is tormenting me.
I am being tormented by an aftermarket
bumper on a three series.
BMW F-30, which is the G80s normal cousin,
right?
No.
What's that?
That would be a G30, I believe.
Either, that's the new generator,
that's the newest, right?
That's big, big buck tooth M3 or four?
Yeah, so it's either a G80 or it's an F-30.
I don't know which one's doing it,
but there are aftermarket bumpers for,
you see them on 340 eyes a lot,
where they've got, I think sometimes they've
got cord tips, sometimes they've only got jewels.
But what it appears to be is an Alfa Romeo,
Julia QV, lower half of a bumper,
grafted into an M3, into a sorry,
into a three series.
And what do you wanna know?
I want to know, am I seeing things?
You've seen that car, yeah.
Have people actually seen this?
'Cause I've seen it now five or six times and
I've never been able to take a photo of it.
I've never seen that.
I know, I know, 'cause I'm very sure I told
my girlfriend to take a photo of it and I saw
one the other day, this was months ago,
I saw another one in passing and told her to
start scrolling through her phone and to find
it so I could talk about the podcast and she
was like, "No, it's gone, I don't remember
it, I can't find that."
either I'm going mental or it's out there and
I wanna know,
Just a rear button, anything front?
Just a rear.
Okay.
But it is, when I say it's an alpha junior,
it is the original alpha junior design.
It has the, if it's custom, but it's not
custom, this is the thing, different cars and
they look, oh you've seen multiple times.
Multiple times.
Okay.
And on badly enough modified cars that I know
it's not custom.
And my next question, is it ugly?
Yeah, no, it looks terrible.
It looks terrible.
And if you were to, and have you googled by
Google there,
Nothing.
I can't find it.
So that's frustrating.
I did it just before this podcast.
I haven't done a proper
one, but I want the creamers to help me out
in this because
I know I'm not seeing things.
Do you have a photo?
Are
you?
(laughing) Do you want to make it out of this podcast?
Would you miss me?
Do you have a photo of it?
I vividly just told you a story,
perhaps a minute ago, about the fact that I
thought I had a photo, but didn't have it.
I then asked a memory of it.
I then said to Edwin, I was responsible to Google it.
Have you tried Googling it?
And he said, yes, I tried that.
I just tried that before this podcast,
and I didn't find anything.
And then he went, and then you said,
have you got a photo of that?
You got a photo of that.
And this is a podcast.
And this is a podcast.
And we're doing that today.
That's the one.
You're present here with us.
And your brain, that's in control of what
you're up to.
I'm not sure that's true.
Now I was listening as well,
which makes it even worse.
Okay, no, nice.
So if the creamers can let me know any
details about this, and I will be going
through my phone to see if I can find this image.
I have it and I'm fairly sure it had an F1
like two-year whopper.
Okay, interesting.
If it's one of you as well, own up.
It probably will be one of you.
It seems to be like just a mod that people
do, but it's Julia-based.
Okay, it's Julia-based J.P.R.E.
It has to be, okay.
A couple of, before we get to a forum to
finish things off for this podcast,
a couple of bullshit things,
it appears.
Edwin, sorry, Ben has put in here for Edwin
to ask Ben a question.
Yes.
He asked me before the podcast,
he said I'm gonna start a new section where I
just ask you questions.
I said, what about, is it about lasagna?
Is it about what you do on the weekend?
He's wouldn't elaborate.
Same thing.
I said, no, no.
We spend a lot of time asking Ben,
not, I wasn't gonna say, what's the word?
Philosophical questions.
They're just questions that I'm interested to
see Ben's take off.
Hypotheticals.
Hypotheticals.
This one is not, this is actually kind of a
good question.
This is a type of thing an interviewer would ask.
I'll put you to that.
That's a great question.
What are you seeing yourself?
Ben and Will, if you could go back to any
decade and give one car brand a single
sentence of information about the future,
what do you say?
Ben's on his phone, Ben is on his phone,
doesn't care about his podcast.
Good question, Edwin.
He's looking at his invoice that he needs to
send us
right now.
Yeah, so I should put some more zeroes on the
end of it.
Good question, Edwin.
What I will say is I would
like to go back and say to Porsche.
Okay.
Good.
Okay.
Now, I'll be honest, I'm Porsche's design department.
You've now disappeared, right?
You're there for just a moment.
You say one sentence and then you're gone.
That's it.
I would go, what does good mean?
Because I think it's pretty good.
Yeah, I would look at the drawing that I made and gone.
We didn't even look at that.
He just kind of walks in the room,
said, make it good and then left.
They went, I've heard it looks the same as
the last one, no?
You've only got one sentence,
so you could give them a, how many comments
in my sentence?
A couple of comments.
I'm gonna say, make it look more differenter.
Okay, right.
But also with a bit more of a unique design.
You are the world's-
Shit, it's what time travel.
Also, what you are is potentially a seven
year old, you know, designing things.
No, just make it more cool, actually.
Yeah, you know like cool cars,
like they're ones.
I don't know how.
They're job to work that out.
Okay, fair.
But that's your only piece of advice.
Well, I would say to them,
like use your critical thinking skills here,
make it better.
Also the team of developers.
We are.
We did.
Will.
I would go, I'm gonna go with Ford,
and I'm gonna go to
them circa 2014, maybe 13.
Let's go with 14, pre-mark three focus RS.
This will be at gunpoint, by the way.
Okay, you brought it up.
Yeah, so.
Time travel machine said, you know,
the time travel does not have a security system.
Cool, fine.
You can take it.
Any, just a block.
So, no, this is an AR-15.
Okay, so you've gone, wow, you really mean it.
Yeah, yeah, I've dressed like Rambo as well.
So they know what's up.
So they immediately go, well,
that's Rambo.
And I'm in Ford's room.
Sure.
Yeah, just the one that's got that room where
they say, where they choose cars.
Yeah.
And I've said, if you don't keep the T5 for
the next Focus RS, I'm gonna machine gun the whole room.
I'm not saying to people, I might just mess
up the room.
It might just be warning shots,
but this is an important room.
And I'm gonna make it a very leaky room.
And then as I leave, I'm gonna walk away,
they're gonna be gobsmacked,
I'm gonna turn around and say,
and make it a three door, will ya?
Whoa.
Little mic drop.
One more thing.
(laughs)
1:22:01 Time Travel Advice to Car Brands
And then you make it even worse by saying that.
Or I'd go, no, I was gonna go to Lamborghini
and say, just keep the bizzareini place.
Yeah, fair.
But I think there would have been Italians
probably doing that anyway, so I think I
would have been just shouting into a void.
Where is the machine gun on the Ford?
I think they think I've got a chance.
You're speaking their language.
(laughs)
Where would you be?
Who would you speak to?
I'd go circa 1990.
'93 Land Rover.
I go and I go, I'm from the future.
Basically, resources are scarce now,
and the most valuable
commodity on earth is a beluga black Range
Rover, like '93, '94 monster.
Just before Softash.
Softash is also kind of cool,
but you don't worry about those.
So you need to up the production on them,
because without it, we're done.
Well, we're done.
So I need you to get production,
just pumping out those black Range Rovers.
I promise you, this will make sense in 30 to 40 years.
And then 30, 40 years rolls past.
They go, what was he talking about?
I'm at home, Range Rover, black on the driveway.
Land Rover died 20 years ago now.
Don't care.
Got my car, waffy.
Would you not ask them to do a bit of rust proofing to?
No, that's a, you know, one issue at time.
You could just put a little comment on that sentence.
You can ask them to do all the things you
want to do, because then they wouldn't believe me.
They go eat this guy's pushing his luck.
Right.
Okay.
Will up the production, but just one or the other.
Either we make them good, or we make a lot of them.
I don't like my answer now.
I think that's it, Ben.
No, my answer was bad.
Ben, next week I'm going to
come back with another one.
Okay.
If you could change it to
one other, like one other, but make it,
make it fun.
When
you pitch that, I'd...
Deck cut his mic.
Right, so let's...
One other, one other.
Yeah, just do it.
You've got 10 seconds.
I go back and I would say to,
do what I say, I would say to Lamborghini,
keep one manual car, have the small car manual.
So I say, a hurricane, make it manual.
Then do I believe should be automatic.
What a fantastic idea.
I just say, you should always keep one,
the small guy making manual.
And then you can't want you to convince them.
I wouldn't, I just tell them to do it.
But then you come back to 2026 and you're
like, right, let's see the manual hurricane.
They go, no, manual, you're us.
Now, a hurricane's auto, but we made you a
manual, you're us.
Specified the small car.
Hey, man.
Well, I would make them do it by what I would do.
They made a TT that was Lamborghini badge.
I would threaten them.
Okay, okay.
With a good time.
I
throw them with a good time to keep them sort
of like, get
them comfortable.
Yeah.
And then just as they think it's about to
happen, I'd say no, and I, and I'd throw them
a bad time.
So good cop back.
Yeah, yeah.
But I can be just one guy.
And then what is a bad time?
Really, really?
We're going with this.
Really fight for my life with that one.
My brain had nothing.
with a equally a very philosophical and not
bullshit question.
So we have a couple of things left to go
ending on a forum.
But before that, Ben, you have a chance to
ask
1:25:12 Video Idea Teaser
a question about the video idea.
It's been a few weeks.
I
will give a very brief overview of what this means.
A while
ago, Edwin said to me, I think I have a video
idea and keeping it brief gets off.
I won't tell you
what it is.
And we'll say I have a video idea.
Make it more concise.
250 words.
You did it.
There is a video idea.
If you also
brief.
I will.
There is a video idea that Edwin and I both have.
We haven't confirmed to either of us what it
is, but
we basically know it's the same because we've
had a third party verify it.
Benjamin has no idea what that video idea is.
And for the last month or so,
maybe six weeks, he has been trying to guess it.
You haven't gone there yet.
You have you've teated you've been you've been close.
You've gone further from the Sun.
This that was it Ben Ben trying to this was
the same as the preamble where we was trying
to explain the ratatouille plot.
And then and then Ben went no,
actually it's like this and explained the
exact thing that Will had just said,
but longer.
I thought Kevin Maclab was the guy from Home Alone.
No, that's Kevin McAllister.
That's the one is the rat from Ratatouille.
His name is called Remy.
That's it.
His last name is Jesus.
His last name is a rat.
So Benjamin, you have one more life this week
to get a guest going.
What
is the video I do?
If it's right, we will confirm that it
has to be bang on.
The other thing that Mr.
Concise over here missed was the fact that it
somehow involved me.
I don't know what that means.
Of course, that's all you care about.
Well, that was what made it weird that you
wouldn't tell me.
Okay.
I'm going to go, I got my list here.
Let me just work out which I want to ask you this week.
You are going to surprise some with a car,
but I have to do
the mods to it.
Wrong.
Oh, I like the, it's not correct.
Okay.
But I do quite like that.
It's quite funny.
Basically, you're indirectly killing someone.
Yeah, no, yeah.
Now, would it be that you have to,
we choose the mods, but you have to install
them or you choose the mods when we have to install them?
I already asked you about that one.
Oh, you did.
Okay.
I said that I choose, I think,
I said that you got to do a project,
a project car build and I choose what mods.
Okay.
So in this one, you'll choose the mods,
you'll organize them, but I've got to do all
the work and you can do it.
This is just our way of getting good video ideas.
It's really good idea.
I like this.
Maybe there is no video.
Yeah, there was never a video.
This is just a way to get your brain going.
You know that I work here, right?
I would just have this conversation.
No, no, but sometimes you need to think a
little bit left field.
You have the pressure.
Some people need an arm around the shoulder
to make sure they're okay, but you need to stowing up.
You need a couple of hands and feet in there as well.
He needs two arms around the cheeks to get them going.
Absolutely.
That's wrong.
Have I got close at all?
You're straying further every week.
Yes.
Why am I straying further?
Hey, that's for you to think about.
I know.
That's a good enough of a tip as we could give you.
You should take that information,
go back to where you've been,
write something suspenseful,
and then come back next week.
Why have you learned so far?
What I've learned so far is that I am not
doing any work on a car.
I've never asked you multiple times.
Correct.
You are going to have a...
Thank God.
Well, you're going to have a breaking bad
hank realization when you find it.
You're going to be on the shitter and go in
Oxford services.
I'll find a book with it written in.
Yeah.
Well, you never know.
Should we end on a little forum?
Listen, on a forum.
A forum.
This is from the mothership V1.
Wow, Ben's not even reading it.
No.
He doesn't have to do his own work.
He's going to know what it was.
I don't sort of statement that we had one.
This says forum from mothership V1 two months ago.
He sent this in.
What are the most?
If you know, you know cars.
This could be from makes and or models,
including variations.
He's listed some, but I'm not going to say
what we are.
Okay.
So we don't get any influences going,
especially for you over there,
little Benjamin.
And then he's put a sentence in,
do I want to read this?
No, I don't read that.
Okay.
It's about cream and it's about being stuffed.
So I'm going to leave it there.
No, we don't.
If you know,
1:29:27 Forum Question: Known Cars
you know cars.
So cars that you look at and you go,
that guy, that girl, that creamer knows.
I've got it.
I've got it.
That it just be about, if you know.
Oh, cool.
There you go.
You said creamer and I was like,
yo, that could be different again.
But what I will say is that Skoda Octavia
sleeper thing that they released.
The one with Ricky built.
No, it's a production thing,
right?
No.
No, that was a green car.
It was one off.
It was one off built by Ricky,
but for Skoda.
From our reports.
I thought that was, I thought that was a car they built.
No.
Sorry, Ricky.
I thought they built it.
I thought it was a Ford.
Ben was
like, I've got this nail.
That's like the coolest thing.
I have got this.
Never got on all this one.
Actually, have you heard of the Skoda Octavia?
So, okay, well, we'll come back to you.
But that would be good.
Number one, it's the clear trophy.
Okay.
Yeah.
In terms of car people, because a normal
person goes really clear.
It's getting less.
Yes, though, I'd say.
It is, because of the collectible.
Exactly.
You're now in, is this, now when you say,
if you know it's that normal people would
have no idea, sort of, because I can start a
list, I can get a list going,
because things that most, I exam mega track.
No idea.
Keep going.
A Cuval Mangusta.
Keep going.
A De Tommaso Mangusta.
It's like my car front interview right now,
this is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe random cars.
A De Tommaso long chomp, they're cool.
But it's called a long chomp.
Yeah.
It's more of a like, it's kind of a normal car.
So like, if someone saw one of those cars,
they would recognize it.
Okay.
Do you know what I'm thinking?
Like they would go, what is that?
Whereas, well, there are those cars out there.
And again, this might not be the definition of it.
This is my definition of it on my head.
It's the car that it kind of looks normal.
But if you know, almost Lotus Carlton,
almost like someone who's got one of the
examples they did put in there as a thing was
like a, like an Omega with a V6.
I think that's a little bit weak on that one.
Okay.
It's like, okay, that it's a normal car,
but it has this.
Well, I'm on day of V6.
I don't know if V6 is in there.
Anything Touring Car-E that had a,
you know, a decent engine from back in the day.
I'm going to say anything would be 58.
Anything for three, four, five,
five, four, you wouldn't know.
An S60 or XC90 V8.
Oh, yes.
That's nice.
I'm excited about that.
That's a nice one.
I've got another one.
Here you go.
A Lupo 3L.
Fair, because it is fair.
Yeah, that's very good.
I guess it's some of those are going to be
those really annoying cars that he will talk
about where it isn't the top model.
It's the one under.
It's like a Mark 1 Clio, the 16 valve,
where it's not the Williams.
It's like all like a 206 rally or a 205
rally, where it's like, it's not the GTI.
It's the...
If you know you know cars, it's the Instagram
people cars.
It's the...
You didn't want the Williams,
did you?
No.
You wanted the rally.
In 1993, if you were the top dog in the town,
you'd go for the Williams.
What if you were just below that?
You'd be going for the valve at all times.
It's like 3.30 Si Club Sport.
Yeah.
Now, the managing director, have one of these.
But if you were just middle management,
you got the thinking man's
one.
What was the astra that we saw the other day?
The triple, five or five, which one's it called?
PCC with the voxel people right now,
swinging in the comments.
Racing Pumas, possibly a bit.
Racing Puma, definitely.
Sorry.
I interrupted you.
No, no, I was going to say racing Puma for sure.
That's the most, like someone that man would
go, I'm one of those.
He didn't know this is a racing Puma.
Sport K.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fair.
I mean, I'd add one.
Panda 100 horsepower.
Yeah.
100%.
That's up there.
That's
up there.
Also, more normal creeplessness.
You're just
saying things now.
These are all just things.
Astra 888.
It is a Astra 555.
Subaru.
888.
Your very correct, Will.
888, so it's all the BTCC stuff and what such.
Astra Arctic Edition with the pan roof,
with the chicken strips.
That's a crazy one.
What?
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
With the full head.
I've lost it.
The Volvo C30 T5.
Good.
Very good.
Very much.
Again, that is a perfect someone out there.
If you're an up and coming Instagram,
get on it.
SOD.
Get through this list.
the mid 2000s, and you love that Yobish vibe,
but you were actually an architect.
This is what you go for instead.
Sobs and Volvos feel.
Yeah.
Anything with a B20?
Yeah.
Anything sort of Saab Turbo or,
you know, that kind of gen or like pre-GM?
Anything Sabaru, which is the American,
and do you know this?
In America, Saab and Subaru had a partnership.
So they sold WRXs with Saab front-ends.
That's kind of cool.
Yeah, they are cool.
I'm a son of one.
A Volvo V70 RS60R.
Shout out.
That's what, well, not an R,
but we had the R, even more so than the R.
The one that we had.
Exactly.
You didn't buy the R.
A Volvo V70 2.3T manual, which was the
highest horsepower, non-R
that you could get.
And they got good bearings, right?
A
blue minor.
No, sorry, I blew my first one up.
The second one that Will and I had was good.
That was good.
I didn't know where that car is.
A 225,000 miles when I sold that.
I had the VMAX sticker on the side.
Yeah, if you go and watch the old car
throttle video where they did a 150 mile
challenge, it's a V70, but with a R front
bumper and that went to me afterwards and
then went to Will after that.
Actually, a great car, really good car.
A annoying little problem.
Just another steering rack.
I can't remember.
I think it's related to the brakes or
something that is just very hard to fix and
ride a hand drive car, but I sold that car
for basically what I bought off you.
More importantly, it would pop on an upshift
if you really went into it and had a little
like back box, delete, but like add a little
rear section that was stainless steel.
It just sounded great.
It sounded fantastic.
It was rough as shit.
I like this game.
I like this game.
I keep trying to think.
I mean, it's like RS6 is two for four and A4 DTM.
A4 DTM is up there.
Yeah.
Because everyone was chasing the RS4.
That's the 330 CI Club Sport of the A4.
It is.
It's not the RS4.
It is the thinking man's RS4.
With the two in it, a tad bad chance engine.
A Pirelli Edition or a...
Oh, what's the other Mark 5 GTI?
They're doing that.
Yes.
Yeah, it was, I think you might be Europe,
I can't remember.
A Mark 5 Golf R32.
Now, I don't think that's true.
I think it is.
And that's why I said it.
And recently, because when we went to go and
see that 159, the 2.4 wagon that I didn't
buy, the chap also had an R32,
but was not that interested in cars.
I didn't really care.
It was just kind of like, it was just the top
of the range golf.
But he said to us, he was like,
that's me R32 up there.
Yeah, love that car, very fast.
That's it.
Was he Northern?
Kind of.
Do you know what I mean?
It's six, Adidas is the guy.
But hold on.
If you show, if you show my mum a like Golf
GTI versus an R32, no idea.
True.
But Mark six golf are convertible.
Is that if you know, but if you own it,
I'm getting a bit suspect of the person driving that.
If you know, just in general,
I guess.
I guess it's a, yeah.
If you know, you know that there are a bit of
a, you know, percet check the hard drive.
Percet R36, too much.
Percet CC 3.6.
W8.
You got, or W8's a good one.
W8 is well up there.
Yeah, very good.
That's really up there.
And Mark, what are you TT 3.2?
I don't know.
I think one falls into the similar as the R32.
People don't know that though.
The R32 are, and you're, okay.
Okay.
Slightly.
R32 may be a fair point, but TT.
But perhaps, no one knows.
perhaps, if you know you know one,
it'll be another case of that where you don't
want the 3.2 cotro with the DSG gearbox or
even the manual, because the cotro system
just dulls the turning and adds a few too
many pounds to this German sports car.
The one you want is the 150 horsepower with
the manual gearbox with a snickety gear
change and a light rear end into the front
wheels only so that the light weight chassis
can pull its way through the corners.
See, because you got, you got,
if you're in the no.
You're in the no.
TT Sport cotro, the more than that,
A1 cotro.
You've got to know big time.
Do you know what that is?
No.
They made an Audi A1 before the S1 that was
all-wheel drive, two-liter.
Yeah, they are.
It was a limited edition.
It was a pre-S.
Really cool looking.
I'll show you a photo.
What was the A1 that I looked at?
That gen, that shape.
That shape.
But what was the engine?
It was something really good.
1.4.
1/4 to get that.
The first one I think it is.
So they made that.
That was a special edition A1.
When you look at that, you'd know that.
You'd go, I said A1, but someone stuck a wing on.
RS2, is that two?
Is that two Larry?
An S2 and an S2, that one.
Yeah.
Any S.
Yeah.
I don't like S.
Audi's, but I think some of the older ones
made me fall into that category.
There is a Venn diagram of Instagram.
And if you know, you know cars,
that's actually a surprise.
What were some of his other examples?
Let's call him reference.
Now we've got it.
R.
Master 3 MPS.
Good, good shout.
Because again, you didn't go for an
astronaut, you didn't go for Focus T,
you went, no, I'm going for the MPS.
The 6 MPS, big, big, big.
Yeah, very cool.
Fall drive.
Yeah.
You went into Instagram influencer for a
moment, came back out.
It's fall drive.
And it's based on a Focus chassis.
While everyone else was driving rowdy hot
hatches, over in Japan, there was a little
factory making something.
I forgot a lot of that.
You'd have to, it would need to start with a
shot of a Mark II ST and go,
you were a yob in the 2000s,
but you've just had kids.
What do you do?
Not all is less.
That's a bit daytime TV though.
No, I know, because it is very daytime TV.
But I was going to say, as far as I say,
something like, over in Japan,
a small factory was making something way more
charming, but just as rowdy underneath.
All lovely then.
Lovely.
He's got, yeah, Man 3 MPS, the V6 Vauxhall Omega.
The next explanation for all of these is
Mazda 3 MPS, because it's a Mazda 3.
Okay.
The V6 Vauxhall Omega, because it's a vauxhall.
Okay.
The Toyota Celica / Corolla T.
The Toyota Celica / Corolla T Sport,
as it's a Celica / Corolla.
Even a Golf R, as it's just another Golf.
Golf R, Golf R Estate.
Because I think Golf R stand out.
Yeah, they stand out when I see a Golf R,
notice a Golf R.
GTI is, I think, less so.
I think people notice a GTI is a little bit
more, sort of, every man.
This is a good game.
Yeah, I like this game.
I'm going to be looking out and going,
who are these people that I know?
Do I know?
I know that.
Do they know that I know?
Just pulling off a long side and going,
do you know?
I know they go, what are you talking about?
You go, thought so.
Is that a Yaris Teesport?
The Thinking Man's Ferrari.
Do you know who don't know?
Anyone who seems to be importing random
minivans from Japan?
They don't know.
No, do you know what?
Perhaps they know something we don't know.
1:41:00 Instagram Influencer Cars
There has to be.
There has to be an explanation for it.
It can't be hundreds arrive every day.
And then the ones that are already there,
people going, can't sell them.
Surely somebody's not going,
if you sold those last hundred,
someone says no, and they go,
cool, I'll bring in a hundred.
There must be a sort of subcategory that's
like, if you know, they might not know.
People who just own these cars and they got no idea.
No one knows anything.
People cruising around in a Meriva VXR.
It's like, it's almost if you know,
you know, but there's going to be people out
there that are like, like, this is just my Meriva.
I don't know what this is.
See, I like that game.
That's good.
That was one of my favorite forum questions
of recent times.
Good job, Ben.
Thanks for bringing that question.
Cheers.
And all the news as well.
That was fantastic.
I might just not show up or something.
Well, Ben, we had to because you're going on Hollybobs.
Are you going to do a one without me next week?
Hey, man.
We've got what you are doing without me next week.
Got to keep the lights on, don't we?
We've got a guest, but is that going to be a
bonus episode of the week where I may have
already gone out because it will be ready
for-- Can we have a guest recently,
guys?
Guys, we had Johnny Smith.
Or we are having Johnny Smith for breakfast.
Cream planning goes well.
But are you doing a normal podcast without me?
Probably.
Yeah.
OK.
Well, I won't see you next week.
We're doing one with JK next week.
Yeah.
I will be unhappy if that-- If there is a
week where-- Bear in mind, none of us take
that much holiday period.
I know it's a joke, whatever.
Shut up.
I have one week.
You're pretty maxed out.
I've taken two days so far.
I'm going to take one week.
Yeah, last week.
Oh, I got to hate you.
And the week is you're booking the Top Gear
test track and you've got some of the coolest
cars and you're possibly getting one of my
actual dream car down.
And then you're going to have a podcast with JK.
I will just never show.
And do we tell you Oasis is coming as well?
Yeah, I'd love to see that.
And Boris Johnson is near one of your favorites.
I don't really care as much,
but-- Clay's coming down as well.
Yeah.
Bolding.
Oh, well, we have to have your standard.
Right.
Well, thank you very much for listening to
this episode of The Cream Podcast.
As always, we will see you
next week.
There may even be a bonus episode soon,
or you've
already watched it.
Thank you very much for listening.
We
will see you next week.
See you next week, guys.
Sayonara.
See you in Barbados.
