Driving 100-Year-Old Cars, Confusing Model Names And More Dream Cars - C.R.E.A.M. #45

0:00 Rule or Ruin: Edwin's Monterey Experience

I believe that people should have a bomb

implanted on their

car.

in the United States of Kingdom.

We're back.

Before we start any Cars Rule Everything

Around Me podcast, we answer the question

with a Cars Rule or Ruin, William,

this week.

What is it?

Is it still Rule?

Why is that?

It is possibly to do with the mercy longer

than we still.

We've just driven this rule will go on for a long time.

Outside of that rule, Mégane is currently

away at Beanie Sport, set up and sorted for

potentially a track day in two days time.

They could call me and go, mate,

it's matched.

You're not going to make the track day.

It's actually clear.

Engine needs a rebuild and this is a DCI.

DCI Mégane, mate, your service.

I say it doesn't matter.

I don't care.

I'm not paying.

Can you go?

That's interesting because did you know I

drove a Gallo run?

Yeah, it was manual and perfect.

No, no, so it's going to be 6,000 pounds.

No, 6.2, 6.2.

Yeah, me correct.

That's it.

It's still a rule.

It's still a rule.

Coming off the back of Monterey.

Sorry, sorry.

Please carry on.

Oh, don't worry.

Monterey Car, it was fantastic.

We've come back from it.

We were all very happy.

Okay, very funny.

We've all come back from it.

We're very happy and jolly afterwards.

I'd say borderline gleeful.

I would say a bit.

I'd say zesty.

Well, that's just normal.

The UK has brought it down for me.

It's actually tough.

Yeah.

We were on the way back.

I'd been, Ben got a lift back with me home.

And I, on the other side of the road saw a

modified Fiesta Estee on my way.

home.

And I genuinely got annoyed.

I set.

I had a similar experience.

First day coming back here, which was

yesterday, driving in, I saw like a Ferrari 250 GT.

Because we have, for reference,

we have GTO engineering, not far down road.

So it's not regular, but it's more regular

than normal road.

I saw that and just went.

Sorry, GTO the other day.

So.

But I still, it's like, everything's just,

if that had sunny blue skies,

beautiful roads, I'd go, whoa,

this is great.

So yeah, just simply because of that.

It's very great.

Feel very lucky to do that for work.

That's very cool.

And we're going to be very smiley and happy

and gleeful for the next.

10 minutes?

Probably.

And then these two will start bullying me and

I'll feel quite sad again.

Fair.

It is coming.

I would say I am in the same.

I'm a rule still.

I've been working on my E36 above.

So it's been annoying me because the previous

owner left parts of the handbrake I'm done.

So the first drive down to what's called

Goodwood ruined my handbrake completely.

So I have to rebuild that.

But yet, I can't be pulled down.

It's still a rule.

Monterey is still we're going back next year.

By the way, if any, I think we might have

said this in the end of the last one,

but if anybody works for anyone who knows

anything about anything at Monterey,

we'll be back.

Let us know what you're doing next year.

Perhaps we'll pitch a tent in your house.

Perhaps you work for the quail.

And you want to let us, perhaps you're Gordon Murray.

Perhaps you're Gordon Ramsay and you want to

cook us something off.

JK.

JK mate, we're still there.

You know, I know he'll be there next year to

be invited us.

We still know that you're listening,

obviously.

Just, you know, make yourself known,

mate, just at some point, we'll put your tent

in your house, buddy.

Always.

So shall we begin?

Are there any news or we just panic boats this week?

There's a couple of news that will go over.

This could be very old at this point.

One thing I noticed, this is bordering on

Ben's misinformation.

Sure.

Was I really seeing this and sort of like,

sort of ne'erdwell website?

Okay, trust me.

Nothing trustworthy, is that the Camaro is

making a cutback.

Interesting, 'cause they killed that off.

As.

No.

An electric crossover SUV, don't they?

Do you know what?

I'm

4:13 News: Camaro Electric Crossover SUV

gonna say it, we've both said this today.

I miss the Hummer.

Yeah.

I want the Hummer.

We talked about it, we talked about hating

it, we talked about charging it.

Actually, whoa, we never talked about hating

it, but I miss it so much.

We both, I had to come and pick up some

wheels from my dad, so I borrowed my mom's old ex-wife.

And there's quite a sharp turning to get into

our unit, and usually, you have to swing

really wide and go around the other way,

but I was so used to the Hummer,

I just tried to turn the wheel and go in,

I had to see a three point turn.

I was like, Hummer could never,

I miss it.

It would just go in.

We just watched the final cut of the video

from Monday, which is the Hummer,

and watching it back, I just miss it already.

It's so good.

Apart from the charging, which is a common

theme throughout the video.

We did look it up, there is one in the UK.

Yeah, you can.

price at 300,000 pounds.

And for reference, in the US,

you're paying pounds equivalent about 80 grand.

Yeah.

But there's a load.

Oh, I think there's a lot of marking up there.

Yeah.

But importing it with fees and taxes and whatever else.

And the weight means you have to ship it on

the world's largest ship and make sure you

don't sink said ship.

But I think genuinely, because you're

importing something that big,

in the size of it, means it doesn't fall into

the same category as cars.

And also, it's a premium vehicle.

They're going to go sod it.

Give us money.

300K.

So I'd be interested to know what will happen

if we tried to do it personally.

But it's still going to be looked into it.

And it might not even be US.

Yeah.

Because it's such a heavy vehicle.

It might fall into outside US things.

So you'd have to pay not even the normal US

fee to drive it around London things.

You might have to pay like 40 or 50 quid a

day, because it's part of a heavy one.

Yeah.

And you can drive it.

Yeah.

And you're not allowed to drive it.

We'd have to do like over three and a half tons.

We need a different license that goes up to

seven and a half tons, which the helmet just

about gets into.

Ridiculous.

Unless, this is more bullshit UK stuff,

unless you've got your license before 1997,

I believe it is.

And then you could, in which case,

it's fine.

Yeah, you already have it.

Drive that, Laurie.

Please go ahead and find after you.

So yeah, we miss the hover, but I don't miss

electric things.

No.

So yeah, come on.

I thought that was a bit sad because it's a cool name.

Yeah.

Definitely.

It's sort of, maybe it is by the time the

podcast go out, I have no idea.

But just now.

Hopefully the same thing happens when,

as what happened with Dodge,

where they went, "Yo, electric charger."

And then everyone, I don't think so.

Not.

So they've gotten out, now got the petrol powered.

It's still a V6 though, I believe.

There's no V8, but I think maybe there still

might be V8 coming.

Surely.

Surely.

Come on now.

We saw one of those out there.

I like the look of that thing still.

Yeah, quite cool.

Charger Daytona.

Yeah.

Ben.

Looking off into the distance.

I was watching the Mustang.

Which we do, we have Toca Race Driver 2 on here.

There's a throwback to early childhood stuff.

Right, guys.

Being provided by a YouTube channel called

Racing Game Archive.

Shout out Glen, which is what he put his name in there.

It's not the beginning.

What else we got, Will?

Ben, you've put in here the actual last W16 Bugatti.

Yeah, what was that about?

Did you see that?

No, it was old.

He's having a second.

First thing, get a load of this guy.

Bugatti Minstrel, that's a chocolate.

A minstrel, which is the last,

what?

Renault, yeah, you think you've run away?

Yeah, it's the one, yeah.

It's the same country.

It's the last W16 Bugatti, allegedly.

And it's this re-bodied Sheeran

type thing, kind of a few years ago.

And they said this is the last W16 that was

the marketing.

And then, a few weeks ago, about a month or

so ago in a movie, they came out and said,

we've got another one, which is called the something.

Just a crazy thing we saw.

The Green Guy.

Yeah, The Green Guy.

He's also a W16.

He is the last W16.

Bugatti is a super guardian said,

we love you work.

We're going to do the same.

You know what?

I might do the same.

I might just keep.

So that's a Mistral on the--

But is that convertible?

That is a convertible Mistral.

I don't understand, because I thought this

one was a

convertible Mistral.

I'm just going to pull up this one,

which is called the-- It is called the Bugatti.

It's called Brum.

It's called the Briard, which is here up on

the screen now.

I'll tell you what.

It's looking the same as the Mistral.

Is that just a coupe Mistral?

Oh, sorry.

No, I got it wrong.

The minstrel is the convertible one.

This one's a coupe version of it,

kind of, but they're claiming it's sort of

not the same car, but it basically is.

Interesting, because I'm just going back and

forth between these two photos,

and that's the same car one off.

There's a few different things.

The vents are the front a bit different.

The vent, yeah, there's a-- and then the

intake on the...

Face lift.

Let's call it a facelift.

Call it an LCI.

You know, Mistral.

Sure, Mistral.

Those were the horrible and it's apparently

the actual last one.

So yeah, we are now on the actual actual last.

This is the Tobion time.

This is the revels.

We've got the Mistral, the minstrels and then

we've got the revels.

This is the facelift.

And then the Tobion.

The Tobion.

Which is the Tobion.

Which is the Tobion.

Which is exactly correct.

Which we saw a Tobion.

We did see a Tobion.

I'm just sitting at the Bugatti,

you tend.

It's right here.

I've got it.

Right next to it.

I like the Tobion.

I think that's a very...

I do.

9:30 Bugatti W16 Models and Naming Confusion

I'm gonna say it.

Here we go.

I used to not like the Veyron that much.

Ooh.

And I used to really like the Chiron.

And I never seen either of them in person.

And then I saw a Veyron in person,

which is fantastic.

And then I saw a Chiron in person.

I don't like it.

I agree.

I would have.

I would have.

It's pulling up Dubai spec to me.

Chiron.

Whereas a Veyron, there's an air of class.

And a soda's a Veyron.

Yeah.

Because a Veyron as well, in photos,

it looks around.

I think it's where it's dependent.

But in person, it's so much wider.

Better than you would ever think of Veyron.

Until you're stood next to it,

I can't describe it.

When you're there in person,

That guy.

I think they're all spec dependent.

You can easily, you can easily Dubai a Veyron.

If I'm seeing the Chrome Veyron.

Then he's, then he's, you know.

Or the, or the, if you have the red interior.

Yeah, you're, yeah.

It's not great.

Yeah.

Also just, if I see like an early black and blue Veyron.

Yeah.

I'm just seeing Knightsbridge.

Exactly.

You're in nowhere else other than just

Harrods, basically.

But yeah, last w16 Big Atty,

bring on Tobion.

Here we go.

We weren't driving any of them.

Also, Materia Mack, please.

Please, we were old.

But a brief note about that.

We were talking about Materia Mack and his

car collection.

I'm fetish, I don't know who mentioned it.

I think it was me said he was in his early 20s.

Materia Mack is 37.

You know what, you're just giving him some compliments.

That's all it was.

Fair play.

No, boy.

But, no, it looks well.

It looks well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Even then 37, not bad.

Yeah.

Not sorry, I didn't know in looks,

I'm saying.

(laughing)

Would.

Smash.

To be CEO like that.

Anyway.

No, he's never coming on the show.

No, he still will.

This is one of the boys.

This is now away from new stuff

and more things that we've been doing.

This is actually before Montre.

We've got Gladi 550, not Gladi 550.

Gladi 550, Model T, Mustang,

and El Camino.

Which would you like to talk about?

What was the first?

El Camino.

Because that's gone out in that video.

Yes.

I don't have those photos yet,

but we had the episode with Tom Rental,

the podcast episode before we went out.

We had behind us the Mustang GT350 replica,

which you then drove the next day.

How was it?

That was just, I've said to a few people now,

it was one of the best motoring experiences I've had.

Even though we were only on like back roads,

but we got a decent amount of time with the

cars, which we sometimes you don't get when

you sort of drive someone else's car.

And it was just great.

It was so good.

It was so much better than I was expecting.

It sounded priced.

That was one of the best V8 sounds.

Sounds I've heard.

It was full on chemo.

It was so good.

And then on the flip side, the El Camino,

it was exactly what I've hoped for,

which was just a low P old brick.

Just every time you hit the accelerator,

it would just spin off a wheel.

It was so good.

I've not quite experienced instant talk like that.

It almost matched the Hummer,

but it just had a lot of noise as well.

So yeah, mega shout outs, Charlie from Sorry

Rodding Road.

which we'll get onto now, another car which

we'll drive here quite soon.

But the next thing we did, which no one will

have seen or heard anything about yet,

is we went and drove a Model T.

Sorry, not just a Model T, many Model T's.

12:44 Driving a Model T with Neil Tuckett

We went to a chap called Neil Tuckett.

He is an absolute

legend.

So basically we said to Charlie,

he had a Model T and we said,

Charlie, we'd drive this.

He said, absolutely, you can drive it.

But Model T's are actually quite hard to drive.

I thought I asked with, I thought it would

just be normal, but no, they're annoying to drive.

But he said, before I let you drive mine,

I'd like you to go and learn from a man called Neil.

We weren't even sure if we were going to film this.

We went and he taught us how to drive Model

T's for the day.

And it was so good that it would be basically

half of the video on driving Model T.

Because he just took us out,

kind of taught us how to do it,

and then said, go on then, and made us drive

his cherished Model T that he's driven.

He said 7,000 miles this year alone,

just insane.

in a Model T, the thing can do 25,

30 mile an hour now, Max.

He's driven the entire circumference of

England, and then Ireland as well.

This is a man, man.

And then he was like, cool, now try a,

now try a wood-paneled van.

Right, now try a convertible,

now try a dragster.

The sports tee.

That was cool, whatever, I don't know,

maybe it has a name, but the sports Model T,

yo.

It was a super luxurious.

That was straight out of the mafia games.

That was crazy.

I had nobody, like nothing.

Nobody.

I had to dangle my leg out the side,

'cause it's not enough, like floor for you to

actually put your foot on.

The floor has one side for your inside leg,

and then your outside leg goes on like a horse stirrup.

It's like, oh yeah, a peg that's going

outside of the car.

That was an experience, and it's quite funny.

I never realized that a Model T is that

confusing to drive.

Charlie briefly explained it when we were

doing the El Camino shoot, and it didn't go

in, but now we've done it.

It's still, I've tried to explain it to

people, and they look at me like I've just

spoken Russian.

Yeah, can you give a very, very brief

overview of what the game is?

So you have a steering wheel,

which is possibly the only normal thing about

the entire operation.

Steering wheel works.

As steering wheels work, you turn left,

it goes left roughly, and right goes right.

Other than that, everything is whole shit.

You have three pedals as well.

You have three pedals, so you look at it and

go, "Great, car."

This is easy.

Right pedal is your brake.

Yes.

Your middle pedal is just reverse.

Only reverse.

You may use it as brake.

Yeah, you could.

If you keep holding it, you'll start going backwards.

Just go backwards.

Left pedal is second gear, neutral and first.

And kind of your accelerator as well.

Depending on where the handbrake is.

Correct.

Exactly that, which is one of the most confusing things.

So you get up to speed, handbrake then needs

to, sorry, to even go off, you release the handbrake.

A little.

Just a tiny bit.

And then when you want to go into second

eventually, which is a pedal,

which is pushing the pedal in and then

pulling it back out, you then have to release

the handbrake both further forward even more.

But only after you've removed your foot off

the clock and watch brake accelerator as well.

Then you can go into second,

then you must come back fully off and it will

start going quicker.

And then your throttle is, so imagine like

where your indicators were between the UK,

if your indicator was on your left side,

that's roughly where your throttle is.

And then your, is it ignition and timing and stuff?

That's on the right-hand side,

so that's do getting a start.

You don't really need to mess with that,

but the throttle you kind of do.

But if the only thing that changes from

left-hand drive and right-hand drive cars,

is the position of the throttle.

And Edwin and I had a mishap with that.

We decided, we hadn't been out in one that

was just the two of us in the front.

So we went out in one of them and it was a

left-hand drive one.

And I had remembered that Neil said the only

difference between left-hand drive is that

the throttle switches over.

He said, basically said the throttle is

always on the outside.

I never say left and right.

So I remembered that and I was accelerating away.

And then I accelerated with a bit more,

I'd imagine, I was trying to rein it back in.

And Edwin was like, no, that's the type,

that's the ignition.

And I panicked.

And I've just cranked up the throttle,

messed up with the timing.

I've started accelerating even up.

We only shot off.

But the worst thing was Neil was standing

next to the window.

So right as he was like, right off you go,

we went, all right, Neil, see you in a bit.

And then when Neil, all he would have had in

the distance was, no, no, no,

Will, please break, break.

Right is, it's like a giant farm.

And the roads you're driving on is the

private driveway gravel area up to the farm.

And it's very bumpy and very funny.

And there's this, but he said drive from

where we are with the workshop is up,

down this road, up a hill and then back.

And coming down the hill, these two

accidentally got the sports one into like,

in the second gear at speed.

And you could see in the footage and bearing

in mind, when you film cars,

nothing looks quick.

If it looks quick on camera,

you're going quick.

You just see, they just take off.

And it is so funny.

I'll keep it real with you.

It wasn't an accident, because we shout out the camera.

Shall we go for second?

Because that car had like an overdrive in it.

And the only way I could drive it was if I

put it in third on the overdrive.

And I said to Neil, is that okay?

And he went, yeah, but just know that like,

at full chat, this will do like 50 or 60.

And I was like, oh, okay.

Yeah, it was getting, we got to like 35 or 40

and got scared.

It's one of the most stressful and scariest experience.

I don't think we really, didn't think I

exceeded 20 on the day.

I did.

And I was, it was peril.

See, I got quite comfortable.

I overtook Will.

Will was going up the track and there was

only space for one Model T.

I, I, I sped up Birmingham did.

Yeah.

I went on the hard shoulder.

I went on to the sheet field and

overtook Will.

Yeah.

That's seen in Ford versus Ferrari at the beginning.

You ever take some on the dirt?

That was, that was that.

So yeah, be excited for that.

That's going to be a very good episode.

That was funny.

So we have one half film.

The other half is where we're going to take

Charles Kelly's Model T and drive it on the road.

I actually couldn't be more scared.

Yeah.

But genuinely you could offer me,

like if you offered me, if someone said this

is my one off, 70 million pound race car,

like please don't dammit, I'll be cool with it.

As long as it's got three correct pedals on

the steering wheel, I don't care how wide it

is, tall it as long it is.

I'm happy to do that.

But this fills me with dread doing 15 miles

an hour, struggling to get in second

18:57 Lamborghini Glardo and Ferrari 550 Drives

without even being able to break.

Because it was panic there.

We're going to have traffic and people and

dogs and police and drive throughs.

We're doing drive throughs and we're going to

have hand signals and all it's going to be good.

Oh, God, I'm not looking forward to that.

So I'm so happy at times.

I'm so not happy at times.

It's easier to drive times.

We drove a Lamborghini Glardo and a Ferrari 550.

You know what, TDC and Cream,

we've really stepped it up a level of a lot of you.

The stock is up.

All that, we're TV hours with a tracks turbo on it.

Last few weeks were two Lamborghinis and a Ferrari.

What's going on?

And a Model T.

Crazy.

And a nice logo.

To be fair, we're not forgetting the roots.

No, of course, we're not.

But a year and a half ago, we were attempting

137 miles an hour in a crossfire with two

bolts in the subframe.

And now we're and now we're driving other people's cars.

You know, life sure is good.

But somehow we managed to convince people a

couple of lovely chaps, actually,

to-- And a lady.

And a lady.

In fact, to drive their cars.

So the 550 came from-- Well,

talk about it.

I've got it up on the screen.

We'll go to the glardo first.

The glardo-- I spoke to a chap named Paul,

who runs a company called Speedbroke,

because they do concierge.

They can do supercar source.

Not even just supercar.

They do all sorts.

They've got an autosam, azid one at the

moment, all sorts of stuff.

He's very, very well connected.

So I've been speaking to people for a while

and said, do you know anyone who has a glardo?

And he knew something about anything,

and he knew something about everything.

And he said, yeah, I've got a client named

Lynn, who is a 60-year-old woman.

You know what?

Lynn, there's sex people with me.

These are sex people.

And she has a glardo that he looks after and

would be more than happy for me to drive it.

And that is a very essentially identical

color, wheels, everything, six-speed manual,

gated manual, five-liter, which is the one

that's the proper Lamborghini engine.

But yeah, it was just fact great.

Just as good as I thought.

I was a little bit worried.

I thought it would be underwhelming,

because it's the first baby Lamborghini that

I loved it.

It was everything you'd hoped it was.

Everything I think we said in the car,

I would like slightly more noise.

Yep, I want that full Need for Speed,

the most wanted noise.

We've said we might need to make a shirt.

But it's great, but a little bit more noise.

Like 10%.

Like 20%.

It's easy when you're saying it other

people's cars like you could make it out.

You could make this way louder.

But in that car, you genuinely could have

made it louder.

But it was just good.

And again, that car didn't feel awful to drive.

It wasn't, it felt well put together.

It wasn't, you know, abused.

And that car still had 40,000 miles or so.

Well, speaking of mileage.

So the car that I chose is my childhood.

The Ferrari 550 Maranello, it was through

throughout my entire childhood.

My best mate's dad had one.

It's the first car that I ever saw.

Three year old, me saw and went,

I like whatever these things are,

these car things.

And I got to drive one from a very,

very nice guy called Charlie,

who is a, is a, all of the above.

He's a, he's a creamer.

He's a TDC-er.

He loves it.

And he bought this car, same thing for him.

It was a poster car growing up.

He actually told me it was between this,

between a 550, a Galardo and a GT2996,

which are my three loves as well.

But he went for the 550.

He bought it as a higher mileage car.

He bought it on 74, I want to say.

He's already put 10k miles on it,

just mashing miles on the thing.

And it drove so nicely.

But we said in the video, we won't spoil it

fully, but the Galardo is perfect for you

because you want a car out the box that's

ready to go.

The 550 is perfect for me because I want

something I can do things to.

And there are lots of areas to the mess with

on a 550 that would make it.

And again, it needs to be tired and times as loud.

Yeah.

I was stunned at how fast that car was.

It was so fast.

And also you said when you were outside,

because we were driving together most of the

time, when I went out with Ben,

I was just like hell.

It's quite loud.

And you were away away.

You were half a mile

23:09 Audi Naming Confusion and Petrol vs. Electric Models

to a mile away.

And if someone had told me that an Enzo was

flying past, I would have believed it.

It was, because everyone paused because there

was a couple of other people there and we

went, wow, he's really giving it some.

Sorry, Charlie.

But thank you.

Thank you very much.

Both owners, thank you very much for letting us.

Also, we both drove each other as well.

Incredible.

So, yeah, just a fantastic, also that was a

day before Monterey.

Exactly.

We are lucky boys.

We are lucky boys.

Pretty well.

And the result of it, will you put,

you know, you're on the lookout.

Oh, I have to make it happen.

Now, the Mercilago has thrown a spanner in the works.

It really has happened.

I have to be both, mate.

I drove the glardo and thought,

okay, I need to make this happen.

However, it happens, it's gonna be,

I don't know what it's gonna be,

but it needs to happen.

And then I thought, I'll drive the Mercilago

and it won't matter.

That'll be cool.

Droven the dream car.

No need to think about this.

anymore, but all I have thought about is that car.

So we'll get on to that a little bit later on.

Moving on down the list, we've got more Audi

name bullshit.

Here we go.

We'll have to pull up some of this,

but basically we talked previously about the

A5 now being a waggle, which is not what it was.

The A5 came out.

It was the coupe version of the A4.

And now the A4 is no longer correct.

bit more, but the crux of it is that now the

odd numbers for Audi are the petrol ones,

and the even numbers are

electric.

Sorry, did I say electric twice?

I think so, yes.

Great.

Basically one's petrol and one's electric.

But they

now scrap that.

And they've not got rid of that.

I suppose

I'm aware.

Yeah.

Oh, what?

Apparently it was too confusing.

But they've kept it.

Obviously what they've done so far,

but I believe now it is just going to be.

So it makes even less sense.

Yes, I make this big change.

And then halfway through it,

go, you know what?

Also, who was not in the first meeting?

Yeah.

Surely everyone went, oh, what are you talking about?

This makes no sense.

Someone did the same thing that we did.

They went, oh, so here's the A5 and they

went, whoa, whoa, what?

What the hell?

That's an A4.

I hate to rake it to you.

That's an A4.

Well, you had before was fine.

You had, you had your normal cars,

your A1, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight.

Then you just make that exact same car,

but it has an e-tron into it.

Or maybe you just call it an E,

an A5E.

Also, the A5.

E.

Now, the thing that I really don't understand

about it is that there has been,

since what, the '70s or the '80s,

an unspoken rule that the numbers going up

mean a bigger car, the three series.

We all know what that is compared to a seven series.

It's small and big.

I can glean the fact that an A3 is smaller

than an A7.

Even Mercedes, you can work it out.

There are numbers to it.

A3

is always not always 100% accurate,

but you were roughly

there or thereabouts.

Whereas now, no one knows anything.

No one knows anything.

No one

knows

anything about anything at all.

27:00 TDC Cap on a Bentley R-Type

And then, who's brain is coming out with this?

It's a drop.

It was the people that were working in Nokia

in the early 2000s, have transitioned over to Car's...

It was just whack a load of numbers on it,

mate.

I don't think it needs anything at all.

Just chuck some numbers on it.

I said, like, French, you can get away with it.

You can go right, it's called a 2008 and

everyone goes fine.

Sure.

No worries.

What will the next one be?

Six.

Fine.

That's fine.

Cool.

This is the five.

Yep.

This was 2008 and 2006.

Again, there is possibly meaning to that,

but it's fine.

They're French.

You get away with it.

It doesn't matter.

You could explain it away, but you're German.

You should know what you're doing.

You should know better.

Next up, what we've got, we've got 1952

Bentley R-type, TDC cap.

I think you put this in.

I can't find, I may have to retroactively

insert the video because I can't find it on

my laptop right now, but someone sent in a

photo or a video, sorry, of a TDC cap,

which now when you buy TDC merch,

we've revamped our packaging.

We've got some cool little things that come

with the packaging.

And one of them is a TDC dust cap.

And someone sent a video of it.

Was it the 52 that I wrote down?

Yes.

Yeah.

A 1952 Bentley with the TDC cap on it.

So I'm talking about a picture,

a wedding car, 9000, with a huge big steel

wheel and it's got a purple dust cap on it.

That is cool.

And he sent the photo, he sent the video and

said, I bet you this is the only 1952 Bentley

with a TDC dust cap.

So, you know, if you see something cool and

you've got one of those dust caps,

let us know what it's on.

Well, you say it's the only one.

That is.

Okay.

For a second, I was like, no,

it's no way.

The whole Bentley R-type owners club is just

going, I like those purple dust caps and I

shared them quite cool.

It goes well with my wedding car.

Lovely.

You've also put in here, Edwin,

R32 bumper on GTIs.

Right.

This was filmed, this was seen during filming

of the El Camino where at the petrol station

and I saw a Mark V Golf GTI with an R32 rear

bumper and Golf R Mark VII wheels.

And for

those who don't know, what does that mean?

It's a bumper

from the V6 Golf, but put on the two-liter

four-cylinder

car.

I'm fine.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

And for context,

this has, a normal GTI would have a normal

just single exhaust coming out of it.

It would have, I'm going to show you right now.

It has two center exit exhausts.

Exactly.

GTI.

I can understand wanting to get rid of the

plastic rear bumper.

Doesn't look the best.

That's fair.

Here you have, you have a little exhaust off

to the side.

Now here, here's one I made earlier,

a R32 Golf has the center exits.

They're cool.

They're very cool.

I like those exhausts.

But what people do is they go ahead and they

put this bumper with the center exhaust,

the, the telltale, the thing that makes an

R32 and R32 on a GTI and it drives me up the wall.

It's, I hate it so much.

I think it's my mods that I like the least.

Yeah.

And I know there's going to be some Mark V

golf and it's like, I don't,

I don't know what it's about.

So that's what I do.

That's fine.

But it's so annoying because it gets my hopes up.

Also, I think I'm seeing an R32 and I see a

shady little Mark V GTI.

That's going to chew later.

That's faster than the R32 because I've

fitted a strong hopper hybrid turbo tow hit.

But the thing that really annoys me the most

about it, and I've pulled up a,

is a guide on someone doing it,

is that you've got the, you have to get rid

of the standard back box.

So it ends up with this horrible,

because the R32 exhaust is different.

It's just pipe, it's just fake pipes,

they're not fake pipes.

Look at that hanger.

It's a hanger.

Yeah, look up.

What the bloody hell.

Now, I mean, maybe the Volkswagen ones,

but surely not.

But I just, I don't know.

I don't know why it rubs me up the wrong way so much.

Because it's incorrect.

It's just 'cause I play M-Bays on a three-

There is a BMW equivalent to this.

It's 335i tailpipes.

Or, or?

Yeah, E92 tailp, where people go,

I've got, they either got a 330 or a 320i and

they go, I'm gonna put those.

And then just have a look under them.

Have a look under them.

Or same as like E-39s used to be quite

popular for putting quad pipes on.

So you have normally on a normal E-30,

obviously you know this, Ben.

Of course.

Yeah, yeah, of course, of course,

of course.

They have this pipe on the side and then

people go, I'm gonna have some quad pipes.

And then you look underneath and you just see

this offshoot pipe doing absolutely niche underneath.

Or, there's a big one.

When you see like a standard F8,

B.M.W.

3 Series and they put the M-Mirrors on and

you're the one to see like the little ones.

I think that's actually B&F-30.

Oh, actually it's F-30.

Now hold on, because you usually get us on that.

Yeah, that's fair.

Mine might have a turn.

The tables have turned.

Yeah, but that's the equivalent to me.

But for me, it annoys me because I get

excited 'cause I'm like, I thought you do.

No, it's not.

No, it's a chopper and a PD.

But also probably someone going,

it's actually not a PD.

It's the common rail diesel injection.

(laughing) Shut up.

Edwin, you've also put him motorway

rubbernecking speed movie.

What?

This is my rant of the week that the Alpha II

was a quick warmup.

Ben has been privy to this we were driving.

Why?

I believe that people who slow down on the

motorway to look at things that are happening

should have a bomb implanted on their car.

They should have, it should be the movie speed.

That is what I believe, that's why I've put it.

I haven't seen them.

Now we were driving to the hotel before we

went to film the "Glado" video on a Sunday

evening, you know, lovely evening and Edwin

had this exact conversation with me.

But imagine this times 10, this is never a

long time ago.

Yeah, I have to tell it down for the podcast.

But the movie speed, Will.

Okay.

There is a bomb on a bus.

A thrilling.

Right.

And if the bus goes below, I can't remember

what the monolayer is, 30 monolayer perhaps.

Okay.

The bus will explode.

That is the, that is the premise of the movie.

Okay.

Now what I propose, is that everyone has a

bomb in their car.

Now I know it's a little bit,

you know, it might be hard to regulate and to

get people to, you know, adopt my--

Some take it to school.

Exactly, I think it would be perhaps.

But there should be a requirement that if you

get on the motorway and there is perhaps a

little shumped on the other side of the road,

if you slow down within a certain box area at

the beginning of the end to look at this,

this, whatever has happened on the other side

of the road, you will explode.

And I will feel nothing to you.

But hang on.

Because--

Because people will be looking for the other

side of the road.

I'm sure it will, but then, but the fear that

people will have, will, will,

will stop it.

And is this the same world as the cinema?

We just want to think.

Where you blow up the views.

It's the very same.

This is

when TDC comes to power, cinemas and

motorways, dangerous place to be.

We'll lose some people along the way.

We will.

But the world will be a better place afterwards.

It angers me so much.

Is your life that soulless and meaningless

that someone's micro bumping into someone's

mark six, is enough to slow the whole motorway down.

Has to go.

I want you gone, I want you out of here.

If I want to be a baseball ref,

I want you out.

I want you away.

It angers me more than I think anything else

in this world.

Just go, just go.

I'm not trying to say I understand them,

but when it's a big crash, it's odd.

You're essentially looking

34:23 Motorway Rubbernecking Rant

for death.

You're always a bit of blood.

I'm a bit more curious to be fine,

but you're a little bit of that,

but you shouldn't be slowing down.

Do it, speed.

Do it, do it.

This is 70, but when I...

(laughing) But it's when you have this

ridiculous congestion and traffic,

and you can, it must be a crash,

and then you get to it, and it's a van on the

hard shoulder.

This is...

Or it's a man changing his tire on his bicycle.

This is why this anger, this is what this

anger came from.

We saw, sorry, on the way up from the

Gallardo 550 shoot, we were driving,

and there was an Alfredo broken down on the

other side of the road, which is in the

outside lane, like in the overtaking lane,

push it onto the hard shoulder.

Everyone's just waiting in the stance of traffic.

That does confuse me sometimes,

where people break down.

I always look at it and go, "Was that really

your final resting part?"

But everyone is really...

Everyone is sat behind you in a traffic jam

waiting for you to clear it up.

So what you should just do is just,

you arrive there, you put your cones out,

okay, then you get the car in neutral.

Your cones out do a little bit of,

do a little bit of a football practice.

So the car in neutral, and then you're in a

cup of the boys, push it on the whole shoulder.

Yeah, out of the way.

And then get rid of, oh, maybe one lane for safety.

And then that way the traffic can still float.

Why do we have to have a car just parked now?

I understand that people ask,

Moteway is a scary place when you're not in a car.

I can understand not wanting to get out on

it, but the thing that caused this anger in

my sleep in my soul was I was in standstill

traffic for something.

I was in standstill traffic for close to five minutes.

I was going for no reason.

Now, the other planes were flowing.

The one where everyone was looking.

It was a man whose canoe had come slightly,

not fully, slightly a jar off his car and was

kind of leaning down.

I was about to ask, why was he driving in a canoe?

That's the question.

What do you gain by slowing us back down to

five mile an hour to look at a canoe?

Go to a lake.

Oh my gosh, canoes loose.

Yeah, so, yeah, that's my rant of the week.

It got me.

I really, that just ones me up.

It's just annoying.

At least make it like worthy to look at.

But if you can, I just chuck it.

Go and chuck it in the fast lane.

I wanna see fiberglass threads all over the,

if it isn't a news

story, don't stop.

Don't slow down, just go.

You're on the

motorway.

That means you're going somewhere.

You're not on the motorway for fun.

You don't get on that to go.

We'll just go for a drive.

I'll sit out my way.

You very rarely remember those.

No one's going to go, I have to look at this.

I don't remember the things I've,

well, other than the horse.

No, other than the horse.

That was tough.

That was tough.

I was sitting in the passenger seat while

someone else fills up.

I was reminded of this when we went to go and

I think we were dropping off some wheels and

you put some petrol in the car and I sat in

the passenger seat with the seat belt on and

it just made me think, is there any other

moment in life that makes you feel more like a child?

It doesn't matter how successful you are,

how tall, muscly, handsome, you look.

If you are sat in the passenger seat of a car

while someone else goes and fills it up,

you feel like a child.

You just sit there awkwardly and you watch

what is essentially Mammy and Daddy going off

the fill up and they might say to you,

do you want anything from the shot?

(laughing)

Thank you.

I just go on my phone.

I just sat there for a moment and thought,

I felt this a million times and never thought

to say it.

But every single time it's happened,

I feel like I'm three.

Also, any time someone is, I walk past a car

that has just a pasture in it.

I look in and go, all right,

weird.

(laughing) Why are you just sitting in the car?

Yeah, it's like, you can just get out.

You can just go and look at a petrol station.

You have free will.

But I feel like I'd only do it in this country.

If I'm abroad, I'm getting out and checking

out the petrol station.

Yeah, I'll get out.

Come on, let's have a look at it.

I'm familiar enough with the petrol station.

I'm like, I don't need to look at that.

I know what they sell.

I know wine gums are 700 pounds,

they're too expensive.

We'll just carry on.

I don't know why it reminded me of that.

And now it's like how a youth might call anick,

perhaps.

Oh sure.

I think about it and go, I don't want to be that one.

Can you confirm?

I don't

know.

No?

I think that might be beyond me.

Do you

feel a bit zesty in the passenger seat sometimes?

Father

reason, yeah, sure.

This service station's a little bit zesty tonight.

Next up on the list is something we didn't

get to mention, or we forgot to mention about Monterey.

And that is, well, Ben Drove in the US.

I did.

Yeah.

Ben Drove, a Chevy Traverse.

Oh, big big big.

A Chevy Traverse, a E60 M5, and a Lamborghini Murchelor.

Now, tell us, now, we're going to talk about

the one that you're favorite,

the Chevy Traverse, when you came to fill it

up at the end of the day.

Yes, so we had to return it with what I had,

and these two, despite both having driven the

US before, refused to help me.

No, no, no, no.

No, you did refuse to help me.

Hold on.

You did refuse to help me.

That's not the point here.

The point was, the point that we said,

did we not say, is I don't know from the top

of my head how you do it.

Yeah, of course you do.

But, of course you do.

Of course you know, to fill up a car for the

top of your head.

This is something I was going to get onto from this.

Why does every single country have a

different way of filling up a car?

The US one was mental, right,

so I'm going to just describe,

okay, so I pull up.

And then why I don't know what I,

okay, I pull up.

I don't know what the fuel is in the car.

I look at the rev gauge, it revs to,

6,000 RPM, I assume petrol then,

probably not diesel.

Also America, yeah, you're in America.

I thought America was all diesel anyway.

I pull up there, I'm like, cool,

open it up the car, and then walk over to

this machine and it says, would you like to

pay for petrol?

Would you like to pay the cashier or the pump?

And because you have to pay first.

That sounds pretty straightforward.

Okay, I was like, cool, I'll pay the pump.

So I press pet pump.

It says, please insert your card.

So we rented it for the video,

so I put my company card into the machine.

Okay, it takes the maximum amount,

it can take $150, whatever it is,

out of the account, and then goes,

please wait, I waited, I waited,

I waited, I waited, I waited,

I waited.

And it went, you can fill in a car up now,

I'm like, all right, cool.

So the pump off, which by the way,

the petrol pump in the US is black and the

diesel one is green.

And it's not labeled, the diesel one said

something about diesel above it,

but not that this was diesel.

Interesting.

No, this is an interesting development.

No, it said something about diesel.

You must fill something to do a diesel into

some sort of truck above it.

So I assumed that's a diesel pedal.

That must be petrol.

But hang on, on the pump, it doesn't say.

And then all of the octane's different to

this country, which confused me as well.

So I'm like, do I want 87 octane?

I don't know what that is.

I'm full of 90 or 95, this is confusing me.

So then it goes, please select it.

I press the little like thing selects it,

which doesn't press until you,

until it doesn't press, it won't work.

I'm like, that's weird.

So then I'm just stood there and the machine

then starts going, please wait again.

Great, okay, cool.

Then my phone buzzers in my pocket,

I take it out and the app for the bank that

our company card has says, card frozen,

suspicious activity.

It's then.

Now, can I just make a quick side?

We were sitting in the car watching Ben for a

far away and watching Ben get increasingly

annoyed at the, at the petrol pump and my

phone things that I looked at and it says

Benjamin Rogers car has been frozen and we

started laughing and then I see Ben look at

his phone and I said to Will,

oh, he's not gonna like this.

I still then just go, and then so then I walk

over to these guys who are also filming me

from a distance, obviously, which I think by

a may go in the podcast and they're like,

I'll have a think and awake.

I walk over to the window and I say,

I need your company card, which Edwin obliges

and gives me his company card.

I then go look back at my phone and it hasn't

reversed transaction.

It's just charged to $150.

It's like, okay, that's great.

Focus on this first.

We'll back to the pump, do the whole process again.

Now hold, now why after struggling with this

the first time, did you not click pay?

Because you don't want to go inside and speak

to a human.

Probably.

I don't know, I don't think that much.

And then I put the thing back in the machine,

Edwin's card gets charged the other $150.

I put the thing into the what you call it,

the car, that's the one.

I fill it up with the petrol that we need.

And then it doesn't give me a receipt,

which we need for our expenses and what such.

So I have to go in anyway, speak to the guy,

I might listen, this is what's happened,

explain it to him.

And he looked at me with the,

like I was being, I was hysterical.

All I said to him was like, ah,

okay, this is what's happened.

Can I please have, make sure this hasn't charged me.

I have receipt.

And he literally went, it's all right,

man.

Don't worry about it.

And then later, here's your receipt.

And here's your receipt.

It says you have nothing.

And he handed me a piece of paper that had

the number zero on it.

Oh, nice.

They just said total zero.

I was like, okay, I see my receipt.

Anyway, it was done.

But what a stupid system.

It does sound identical to here.

No, because the machine as well,

when I put a card in, it had like,

it went through like four different pages of

like, survey before it even let me do it.

I just want to walk ahead of me.

It does.

It sounds, anything that sounded slightly

different to here is the button.

Oh, yeah.

You have like, choose the octane.

Choose it all comes out the same nozzle,

but you just choose the octane.

But it doesn't work.

Ben has basically said, I like,

it's alien.

No, it was not an option.

Either I had to pay before or pay after it.

And then I had to fill the car up.

And I could either pay it at the pump.

Well, there's a cashier.

I was one of those.

There's a keyword being who's willing to take my money.

In exchange, there are two pumps,

only one fits.

How would I know which one that is?

The opposite color of this country.

This country is green, for example,

which makes sense.

And it's going for diesel.

There's one with a weird foreign word above

it that says, yes or no.

It didn't say it on the pump.

It's a sort of fast and furious character.

I'm sure I get out of that piece.

I think everyone will agree.

The first time you go to a different country,

going to the petrol station is a,

it feels like when you're at school disco or

something, where you just don't,

you don't know what to do with your body.

You don't know where you are.

It was just like, where do I go?

Where do I stand?

What I will say though, is that most other

countries, it's because of the language.

I remember feeling I'm trying to,

I remember trying to fill up in Belgium and

being baffled

because no one gives you the instructions in

English and it's

all like, oh, you have to go into a machine

in the middle

of the pump.

Pay the first.

And then you go in there and

then you go and do a Sundance to a Belgium

chap in Africa.

Whereas in America, it is all in English.

There was no instructions.

But, hang on, wait, wait, wait.

Is it one of my, I've watched that video

three to four times.

I just watch it and see you get quite fast.

But perhaps insert yourself into my shoes for a minute.

Oh, okay.

And think that, okay, I'm done.

No, I know, I agree.

And then you look down the road and your two

colleague slash mates who are sat in a car

refusing to help you.

What do you bet?

I asked you beforehand, can you tell me how it works?

And you said no.

I don't have three now.

I didn't know how it works.

Now, do you want us to?

I'll shoot as well as well.

What's it called?

Not dirty dancing, but are we both holding

the pump together?

Are we both gripping?

No, it will barely just be like,

okay, it's quite simple.

If we all focus on this, we can figure it out.

All right, mate, I'll focus on the pump nozzle.

You focus on getting the car open.

You just drag the cashier, I'll put the pencil in.

And then you look, I'm confused about it

already, I'm trying to work it out.

I look down, I know the entire time,

but I'm gonna be laughing at me.

I look up and they're filming me.

Of course, that's gonna add to the situation.

On top of that, I've got to pay for it on the

company card, which is now frozen,

and I can't use.

Yeah, thanks for that.

And I'm 5,000 miles away.

But did you figure it out?

Well, yeah, but there you go.

That was our point.

That was our point, is that?

You suggested we talk about this on the

podcast, did you not?

I thought we could content.

Now, moving on to our next bit of Ben Slonda.

Oh, great.

This is about dreams.

Oh, for God's sake.

I had a great dream recently,

but before I get to that dream,

No, you tell the dream first.

Oh, I tell the dream first, 'cause there's

not much detail to it.

I had a dream that Peter Trander,

who's our TRS performance/rat dog,

I had a dream that he bought the Nurburgring.

And you said you woke up.

I was in the room when he said,

"I know it happened."

But the best part is you said you woke up

genuinely believing that he had bought the Nurburgring.

I genuinely woke up and thought,

"Why would he, how has he done that then?"

It's crazy, God, God, I can't wait to get there.

By the way, Peter, but I mean,

sick, congrats on that.

We'll be over in a bit to sample the track.

You can just get us a free, we'll just book

it out for the day.

Yeah, just do.

I think it's perfect, really.

For a rat dog to have the Nurburgring,

that's an ideal purchase.

We can do some road shooting on the ground.

Plastic ground, yeah.

So good.

And also speaking of rat dog,

we said it last week, but we are still very

much excited for the Mercilago.

Oh yeah.

Because Will's dream calls the six two,

mine is the six five Mercilago.

That's what you guys have got.

And I'm frothing to get it.

Yes.

Cannot wait for that.

Also, it will be a entirely different experience.

It will be in the UK.

Well, possibly.

If I go over there with the Mercilago.

But the world I need, Peter's got some,

you know, it makes sense.

Maybe he's gonna change his name.

Yeah, something else.

To the Peter Rick, the Peter Rick.

(both laugh)

You know, the tranderring cargo.

The tranderring kind of truck.

The tranderring kind of, I hear that trander,

circuit trander.

But anyway, from that, we discovered from

Benjamin here that he doesn't dream.

No dreaming.

I don't dream.

Well, I have dreamt before.

Oh, okay, now this is where it goes.

This is so annoying.

This is such a classic TDC conversation.

'Cause I made one passing comment of like,

yeah, I don't really dream that much.

No, no, no, never got.

I've never ever heard what I don't really dream.

It was like, I don't dream.

I don't really, okay, fine.

I said I don't dream.

I'm just saying I do sometimes.

The implication of that is that,

you know, of everyone dreams,

but I don't really dream.

If I dream, it's very rare.

Now Ben, tell me, what's your dream car?

No, I'm not doing this.

Dream house.

Dream house, I have all of these things,

but those are all not the same thing.

Okay, so right, you're telling me you don't dream?

I occasionally will have a dream.

And what's the last dream you remember?

Well, Peter Trander, recently by the Nurburgring.

Yes, we, 'cause I had a similar dream.

It turns out that's just fact.

Yeah.

That's just, we didn't dream.

So it turns out, none of us dream.

No, I don't know.

I don't really dream.

And the classic thing with us three is we'll

be sat in the car and needs to be bored or something.

And when they're bored, they like to bully me

about these stupid little passing comments.

I just like to ask questions.

I don't think so.

But the question, it's, hi Ben,

what's your opinion?

I ask my opinion or what it is and it goes,

no, it's your opinion.

And now I will not accept this opinion until

I am either right or you admit you're wrong.

It's not opinion though, because you said you don't.

I don't dream.

You made a, we talked about a bold statement.

You said, smooth.

I don't dream.

You're telling me you don't even remember a

single dream, not one.

The dream you've ever had, you remember?

Not because you never had one.

You never woke up from a dream and God,

well, he had tried my own to never.

No, I haven't.

I have one dream which I had that was

reoccurring when I was younger and that's it.

What is it?

Was it about a V12 vintage?

No.

No, you never dreamt that.

Never dreamed of being in a suit,

driving a V12 vintage.

You're a literal dream.

I've just thought about it.

I never dreamt it though.

I don't really drink.

You drink?

I don't really dream.

No dreams.

You're missing out.

We're Ben's psychiatrist now,

it's getting into his dreams.

So you dream every night?

I'd say most nights.

You dream.

Have a full-on dream.

Yeah.

That's not true.

I bet I do, but I don't remember it.

We have memorable dreams.

Then this was our next debate,

which is the scientific factors that

everybody dreamed basically every night,

but your brain doesn't retain that memory.

So then in theory, then I do dream.

But I'm talking about how you sleep right tonight.

You get all cozy, you're probably wearing

cashmere knowing you.

You're probably a lovely big old bed completely naked.

So what you said was right.

Will is completely naked in bed.

He doesn't know how to do that.

He's just a bed

frame and he's naked, okay?

He's all cozy in that situation.

Speaking of bed frames.

We'll get us that.

And you go

to sleep and you have a dream,

and the next morning you go,

I dream last night that Peter Trander bought

one of my

brain.

That is your every night.

Famously.

That's your every night.

I had a dream.

No.

There's one of the few dreams I remember when

I was a kid, is that my mum had a Cytronaix,

a red Cytronaix.

Will's actually told me this.

I remember this.

Possibly

51:07 Dreams and Ben's Night in Monterey

that this is not as accurate as when I was

five or whatever it was.

She had a Cytronaix, and I had a dream that

we were driving through slough near where the

Queen's Mayor Center is, if you know what that is.

See us all dreams have made up.

You would have had any through when you chose slough.

And then a dinosaur, a Tyrannosaurus Rex to

be precise, stomped through the car park and

picked up arms car by the bonnet and sort of

swung it about for a bit and then put it back down.

But that's all I remember.

That's where I sort of remember the dream ending.

And then the next morning, my mom's car didn't stop.

I remember being baffled.

And it was then I believed in dreams.

No.

No.

And that is why we were on the way to Dervo

going to meet Pete Strand of the owner.

Now, was the AX the same spec as your mom's

or was it like a GTI?

No, it was just the same.

It was just the same car.

Yeah, red five door.

Crazy.

My rear current dream was that I was being,

this is genuinely true.

I was being chased by a dragon and the dragon

would always just bite me.

Now...

And that was my dream.

Okay, interesting.

Yeah, how big?

Big.

Oh, man.

But now in my adulthood, I'm wondering why I

didn't just breathe fire on there.

Now, there are psychiatrists in the comments.

There are gotta be some creepy HDs in the

comments who know what that mean.

They mean something.

They all really mean something.

That's the only dream that I can remember.

Also, we have got so far off track.

We are talking about dreams and the TDC podcast.

The stuff is talking about the bed.

Talking about the bed, which Will sleeps naked in.

Which, well, I did.

In fact, you didn't.

This was at Monterey.

We rented a house and we had been,

well, I had been to Monterey once before and

I knew the general layout of Monterey.

I knew how far away things were.

We were looking for an Airbnb and everything

becomes incredibly expensive on the week.

Thousands, even tens of thousands in Monterey.

We knew someone who said they'd spent 15

grand to stay in a house, which they were

sharing with lots of people.

And so we found a deal, a steal of a deal on an Airbnb.

Yeah, no, there was a reason for that.

It was in a place called Salinas,

which when we told people we were staying in

Salinas, they thought we were joking.

They actually thought, no, no,

no, no, we are.

Oh, okay, no, that's bad.

Salinas has got quite high crime rate.

You said it was

the, we went to John Steinbeck.

There you go.

Yes, by and as the Americans do.

And we had to buy some walkie talkies for

shooting, whatever, not interesting.

But as we were leaving, we heard screeching

and we looked over into car park and a

takeover was just beginning.

Just beginning, just at the right,

at the beginning.

And it was, yeah, so anyway,

it was a tough place and a RMB was,

I would say not as described.

It was a little bit more rough around the

edges, but hey.

But as a house, it's fine.

It was a place to sleep.

Yeah.

And not so much for Will.

'Cause Will, what happened in the night?

Sorry.

Sorry, well, wait, Ben.

The next, the first morning,

what did Will say the first thing you said to you?

So I got up a little bit earlier 'cause I'd

like to get camera stuff ready.

And Will walks out of his room looking quite unhappy.

And I'm thinking, why is that happy?

We're in Monterey.

It's our first big day of going around.

And I look at Will and he goes,

fuck this Airbnb.

This Airbnb shit.

I hate this Airbnb.

I said, why is that Will?

He said, my bed collapsed in the middle of the night.

And my weight.

Now, now I did it collapsed.

It did.

'Cause I've got a photo.

It's gonna, I'm gonna pull it out.

No, I'm not gonna, I'm not a lightest human

being, but I expect most beds to withstand me.

And, you know, long day of traveling,

we've been out and about getting stuff.

I thought, all right, it's time to get into bed.

I go into bed.

Number one, the bed slid across the room.

(laughs) Because I looked down underneath and

two of the legs were on cardboard.

So someone decided, okay, put that thing on skates.

So I slid across the room.

And then when I finally put some weight on

the bed, I heard this noise.

And the bed just collapsed.

Now, there's nothing I could do at that stage.

I looked under the bed briefly and it had

been duct taped together.

The beam that goes across down the middle lengthways.

Oh, sorry about that.

What's that doing?

What's that doing?

Just a little bit of the advantage of it

trying to convince everybody.

It had been taped together.

And I looked at it.

This is like midnight and thought,

it's not going to do.

I have to sleep on it.

So I slept at the very edge of the bed.

So there you go, that's the,

yeah.

So the biggest bear.

I mean, you can see, you can see the wear

marks on the floor.

This isn't the first time it's happened and

they've ducked taped it.

That's certainly not acceptable.

Now that it gets better though,

because we then, the next morning,

the office of the Wi-Fi for some reason wasn't working.

And I think it mostly had to do with the fact

that it was the first thing you implied when

you walked into the room.

I accidentally unplugged the Wi-Fi.

It's giant on my phone.

The next part was, Will said,

"It's Wi-Fi's terrible.

"It literally connects to it and it just

disappears."

In the router.

Just plowing through Facebook.

To know it was the router.

Anyway, we messaged the Airbnb people,

and they said, "Okay, what's in the

maintenance team around to fix it?"

And they said, "We've got mesh set.

"It's done, so we've had a lovely day.

"We come back, we come back,

and we listen out "was the builders."

And we look under the bed, and they've just

piled bricks under the bed.

There was a pile of three or four deep

bricks, maybe six across, probably enough to

make a little Wendy house, just.

I don't think we have a picture of mine,

Lee, but it fixed the problem.

You fine?

I was at perfectly fine for that.

So you know what, perhaps that's TDC if we're

a building company.

If we were Lamborgs, we'll fix it with bricks.

I mean, I appreciate the sort of ingenuity to

come up with that on the spot.

Also, I don't know where they got the bricks from.

Yeah.

It's not like a maintenance team turns up

thinking they're repairing a bed,

and they go, "Well, I've got a couple of

bricks out of the bag."

When we get over the next day,

we're just looking out of there,

we'll go, "Excuse me, guys.

"Do you know how they see any bricks around me?

"Because my wall's missing."

You can go to sleep with the roof caves in,

because no walls anymore.

It was quite good.

Was it comfortable?

No.

Did you, out of interest, did you sleep like

a ton of bricks?

Oh, yes.

That's awesome.

Like the first thing that I heard down the

corridor the next morning.

Did it, was it, was the bed harder after that?

No, well, no, because I'm not sleeping on the

bricks, per se.

Okay, but it was being propped up by the bricks.

It was being propped up by the bricks.

A certain part of the bed was stiffer than perhaps usual.

Princess and the P.

Yes, I could feel the bricks.

Did you feel the bricks in your bed last night?

Yes.

I did feel the bricks in my bed.

We also had a speaker system throughout the entire house.

Oh, that was good.

It was like speakers in the ceiling that were

connected to this cupboard, which was,

I can only describe it as like,

I imagine a concert and they have like the

sound people, stacks of--

Decks of--

Decks of machines that could run this and I

was in my room, I'm hacking and I just

suddenly heard like, what was it?

It was mariachi music.

It was mariachi music.

Just start playing loudly for the speakers

and it scared me, it was like a horror movie.

And speakers in every room.

In every room, I clicked, I,

I me, so I started clicking buttons 'cause I

wanted to see all that.

they would do and I clicked the power button

and then that illuminated the bottom panel

and then I clicked the power button on the

top and nothing happened.

I was like, oh, oh well.

And I walked away from it.

It turns out it was like booting itself up

'cause 15 seconds later, it started blasting

through the house and then made an ultimatum.

He said, if that comes, if that wakes me up

first thing of the morning, I'm leaving.

It was in like a horror movie when they put a

song that doesn't necessarily fit the scene.

It's not like a horror.

score over time, but they put some sort of

weirdly upbeat, positive music,

but it makes your mind go, okay,

I'm in a horror movie right now.

So if I woke up at night time in this weird

house and this not very nice place,

hearing this faint ring of mariachi music,

I think I was gonna get murdered.

I promise you wouldn't be faint with a bit of

a carry on.

But do you know what I mean?

I would have, it was like a squid game.

I did not like it until I said to Evan,

I was like, if that wakes me up in the middle

of the night, I'm going to, first of all,

put my hands quite violently.

And then once I put myself up,

I'm going to come and kill you.

After all of God and step on tech.

I think quite the opposite.

Right.

Selena's not recommended.

Shall we end?

We don't have any forums at the moment,

'cause we lack it behind, look,

we catch it up, we catch it up.

Shall we end up on one of the week?

Let's have it.

Oh, sure.

Ben, what's your one of the week,

mate?

Why is it working?

'Cause we found something quite nice for you earlier.

My one of the week is, as it is every week,

a manual Aston Martin V12 on.

Interesting.

With a very spicy exhaust system,

which Will doesn't like.

No.

Yeah.

'Cause I found this, 'cause the reason it's

what was on the screen earlier,

is this, it's not green, it's green,

your eyes don't deceive you,

but it's not an original green card.

This is an Aston Martin V12 vintage manual,

but with green PPF.

It looks green.

But we were saying to Ben, come on Ben now.

Surely, you know, the piggy bank can be

broken and perhaps some other people's piggy

banks are broken.

And perhaps some generational debt could be

achieved, 'cause these think that's cool.

It's very cool.

It's so cool.

I still can't afford it, but it's very cool.

Cool.

Tuxedo.

Would you drive up or would you always wear the tuxedo?

I'd certainly commit to it for the time being.

Okay.

Which is why I don't hear those Tesco's and...

Yeah, sure.

Hey, human toe, Will's got a video of me

doing human toe in a tuxedo,

not joke.

Then there we go.

I'll sat in the room, doing funnel edit bits,

doing some polishing with videos.

You all have the video, it's all good.

I'm like, this is great part of the week,

okay?

I'm like, here from the background.

Ben, I found a car for you.

I go, I go, ask great guys, here we go.

It's a 60,000 pound Aston Martin.

1:00:28 Ben's Want of the Week: Aston Martin V12

Hey, London.

like they're trying to sell me some sort of

deal, start presenting finance packages to me

that I also can't afford and being like,

hey, but if you sold your left kidney and

auctioned off your left leg,

then you'd be able to afford the monthly

payments of six billion pounds.

Your liver is worse.

And that's before you, the car has to put

your fuel in it or tax it or you're sure.

I bet Ben's not putting fuel in it,

he doesn't have no.

I can if it's in the UK.

Wait, what do I do?

What do I pay?

The thing is, I can't, I want it,

but I can't have it.

Hey, look, and this was an hour before the podcast.

Not sorry, not an hour before,

I think it was the whole hour before the podcast.

It went on much longer than,

even you're saying I think it went on for

quite a while.

And it's a mic, who sat next to me,

went home 'cause you couldn't edit because

you two were too busy talking to be about.

Look, something's more important.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

It's not a way.

You have to make things happen sometimes.

Well, I want that, but I will not be buying that.

Ben, we are starting a gang who are robbing

banks so we can buy our cars.

My want of the week is a 550,

which I've said in the video and I've said

last podcast, I think I want a Ferrari 550,

but I want it to be crashed or damaged or an

issue with it 'cause I wanna do things to it,

I wanna modify it.

So again, this is a shout.

If you know of a Ferrari 550 festering

somewhere, I will liquidate my entire family

price for zero reason.

I will liquidate anything I own,

anything I can to get my hands on one.

I just want, I want

one a bit mashed.

The other thing is an E55 AMG.

I've

talked about it before, a couple of many,

many times, but

we were in a place where we were kind of

somewhere recently,

you haven't said it many times,

we were in California.

We talked about it last week,

we were standing on an intersection waiting for that.

We got quite familiar with those cars and the

car that stands out in my mind,

I mean, there was a Koenigsegg that came

past, was a lovely E55 AMG.

It was just, it was so nice,

it was sat perfectly.

And we saw a, this is the black one.

Yeah, we saw quite wheels.

And then we also saw one at the legends.

No, at the Porsche works, I think it was in

the car park.

That was nice.

On a set of nitto drag tyres at the back.

The fronts were normal, the rears were on

welds, at the rear, which is drag race season.

And we saw the charge cooler in the front.

And then there was also another one that was

parked up by the side and I said,

"Hey man, nice car."

And he said, "Oh, hi, I like your videos."

So you watch the videos.

Will spin the media.

That's who it was.

I have a fear, I think so.

I'll see.

It could be someone I don't know that just

came to my head.

Shout out.

So yeah, E55MG, I would like a black saloon

or wagon, but I think I prefer a saloon for

the price, they're much cheaper.

Black one.

And I'd love to just daily one.

I think that would be, it'd be really not

Great idea.

No.

But it would be great idea.

Comfort.

Yeah.

Very comfort.

Yeah.

William.

Same as every week.

(laughs) Well, I mean, now it's

Lamborghini-Merci Largo and it's a glardo.

I'd love to say I'd put out a thing to do the

same, but if anyone does know anything about

anything at all about Merci Largo as a

glardo's sale, please.

Because Merci Largo seem like they're going

for silly money.

Yeah.

And glottos, but when they're actually

selling, they're all listed for dumb money,

but they still sell for what they're worth.

But the problem is, is there's now less of them selling.

Yeah.

So it's harder to tell.

So I think a lot of people are just putting

them away because they are becoming very,

very valuable.

So I can't remember if we mentioned this in

the last podcast to do with the Merci Largo,

but Blake, who drove, the one we drove,

I won't say how much paid for it,

but it's a crash damage.

Previously, what would you call it?

Salvage title.

Yeah.

So it doesn't have a clean title in the USB,

I guess a cat N here in the UK.

But the car is a maximum

Yeah, it's 20,000 miles, it's a manual,

it's perfect spec for me.

He said it was a hit on the side skirt,

but the part was impossible to get,

so they salvaged it out.

'Cause it's carbon and whatever else,

but I wouldn't care if it had a,

if it had a, if it was cracked,

if it was cat N, or even cat S at UK,

as long as it was prepared, TDC probably

nothing crashed super close.

I mean, I would be perfectly fine with that,

and now I'm trying to source who has something.

I wanna know where they, I wanna know where

all the yellow 6.2, manual Mercilagoza,

and also Galados as well.

That's all both.

You get your two for one, but hopefully

probably not, probably not.

But again, I don't know how it's gonna

happen, but I, I need to make it happen.

Otherwise, I'll be very, very disappointed

with my life.

So if anyone knows about 6.2,

Mercilago's in yellow, in manual,

or you know someone who knows something about

anything at all, please slide in and let me know.

And as, as we said, we met at Bolian,

so there are, you're speaking to at a Bolian.

He's forgotten us now.

He has no idea who we are.

Benjamin?

I did it, yeah.

You've already got a whole thing about it.

Apologies, yes, yeah you have.

Pulling a wheel on that one.

I have one more.

Okay, here we go.

Let's go on again.

The E92 M3.

Ooh.

This is my,

What is that?

It's a pull away from the Lamborghini stuff.

We mentioned this before, but we saw lots of

E92 and threes out in the U.S.

And that has made, that has given me a burning fire.

Seeing some of the U.S.

spec ones, which I think are done better than they are.

That and F-A-T-M threes.

Lovely.

Modified very well.

That's my though.

You all got BBSs, you got T-37s,

I'm very jealous.

And you're all sat absolutely rammed.

Really lovely.

Well, I think that's a nice place to end.

Thank you very much for listening to this

episode, the Cars Rule Everything Around Me podcast.

We will see you next

week with a special guest.

So see you then, cream get the

money.

Dollar Dollar bill, y'all.

Broken bed.
