4
00:00:02.940 –> 00:00:04.400
Fuzz: Hi James, how you doing?
5
00:00:04.400 –> 00:00:12.500
Tim shaw: I’m extremely well. It’s very good to see you again, and you’re both back for Series 14. We can’t get rid of you. No, we’re still here.
6
00:00:12.500 –> 00:00:17.910
Fuzz: I know, people have tried, people have tried, but no, it’s, they’ve not succeeded yet.
7
00:00:17.920 –> 00:00:18.355
Free Car Mag: Right.
8
00:00:18.790 –> 00:00:21.120
Tim shaw: Anyway, listen, I’ve got a chicken casso burrito.
9
00:00:21.970 –> 00:00:22.509
Tim shaw: Look at that!
10
00:00:22.510 –> 00:00:23.699
Fuzz: Super burrito, that’s.
11
00:00:23.700 –> 00:00:24.040
Tim shaw: Yeah, man.
12
00:00:24.040 –> 00:00:25.840
Fuzz: It’s a good evening. Could be good, isn’t.
13
00:00:26.190 –> 00:00:27.110
Free Car Mag: Fantastic.
14
00:00:27.110 –> 00:00:31.379
Fuzz: So, are you working… are you working for, are you working for what Sandwich magazine now, James?
15
00:00:31.380 –> 00:00:31.850
Tim shaw: That might.
16
00:00:31.850 –> 00:00:46.829
Free Car Mag: Absolutely. It’s always nice to know what you’re eating, what gives you the energy to do this series. I watched the first one, and it was very, very good. It was very fascinating to see a frog eye. I love frog eyes like you do.
17
00:00:46.830 –> 00:00:47.560
Fuzz: Yeah, they.
18
00:00:47.560 –> 00:00:55.179
Free Car Mag: They’re wonderful little cars, and actually the best detail on that car was the dyno labels on the dashboard, which was absolutely.
19
00:00:55.180 –> 00:00:56.079
Fuzz: There we are.
20
00:00:56.320 –> 00:00:59.999
Free Car Mag: That was, like, the best bit, wasn’t it, really, of the… of the whole thing?
21
00:01:00.140 –> 00:01:00.910
Free Car Mag: But…
22
00:01:00.910 –> 00:01:04.260
Fuzz: I think Dymo are… Dymo labels are.
23
00:01:04.430 –> 00:01:05.310
Tim shaw: Yeah, they’re great on that.
24
00:01:05.319 –> 00:01:14.619
Fuzz: the unsung hero of the 70s and… sorry, the 60s and 70s car. Because, you know, loads of cars back then had Dymo labels on them.
25
00:01:14.620 –> 00:01:34.590
Tim shaw: Because I bought one. On the strength of the Dymo labels in there, I went out and bought one the other day, a Dymo label, and everything in our house. My daughter’s gone around, Millie, who’s autistic, has gone around and labeled everything. I mean, she just finds it funny. So, in our house now, you walk through the door, fridge, door, freezer, table, everything is now Dymo, as a result of that.
26
00:01:34.590 –> 00:01:35.760
Tim shaw: Sounds good.
27
00:01:35.840 –> 00:01:40.119
Fuzz: I’ve got a few on some of my cars. I like a Dymo label, so I…
28
00:01:40.120 –> 00:01:40.480
Tim shaw: Yep.
29
00:01:40.480 –> 00:01:47.129
Fuzz: Yeah, I think We need to sing, sing, sing the praises of that particular bit of technology.
30
00:01:47.290 –> 00:02:01.020
Free Car Mag: Absolutely, and I did like the science bit, that was in the show that you did, because you did explain to people that, yeah, but that just because it’s been in a garage, rather than in the middle of a field, doesn’t mean that it’s not going to be rusty.
31
00:02:01.040 –> 00:02:16.610
Tim shaw: Yeah, I take great pleasure in coming up with those things, and I think everybody in the crew panics and goes, oh god, what’s he gonna do now? What’s he come up with now? So they sit down with the camera and just go, right, go. What is it? And that was a… that one came out pretty well. Simple science, but something that everybody should be aware of, in my mind.
32
00:02:16.990 –> 00:02:17.600
Free Car Mag: Absolutely.
33
00:02:17.600 –> 00:02:30.359
Fuzz: Yeah, true enough. It didn’t help that… it didn’t help that that particular car had probably been driven… driven on salty… salty, damp roads around Great Britain all the way through the 1960s, so when it got put in the garage, it was wrong.
34
00:02:31.010 –> 00:02:43.329
Free Car Mag: Absolutely. That’s right. And I was quite fascinated to see that there are some interesting cars coming up. I mean, you’ve got a Lamborghini, no less.
35
00:02:43.330 –> 00:02:43.990
Fuzz: Oh, yeah.
36
00:02:43.990 –> 00:02:44.640
Free Car Mag: Let’s see.
37
00:02:45.420 –> 00:02:47.360
Free Car Mag: Have we got to be quiet about that?
38
00:02:47.620 –> 00:02:49.819
Tim shaw: Something might be happening in the next 20 minutes.
39
00:02:49.820 –> 00:02:51.690
Free Car Mag: Oh, really? Fantastic.
40
00:02:51.690 –> 00:02:56.730
Fuzz: Gotta be quiet about it, gotta be quiet about it today. However, tomorrow, we don’t have to be quiet about it.
41
00:02:57.490 –> 00:02:59.100
Free Car Mag: Okay.
42
00:02:59.260 –> 00:03:03.900
Free Car Mag: So, so you’ve got, so you’ve got a good eclectic mix of, classics.
43
00:03:04.570 –> 00:03:10.869
Fuzz: Yeah, yeah, from FrogEye to Lamborghini via Rover P4, and
44
00:03:11.020 –> 00:03:14.889
Fuzz: And Nissan Sunny. Oh, no, it’s not Nissan Sunny, is it?
45
00:03:14.890 –> 00:03:17.850
Tim shaw: Nissan Pulsar GTIR, get it right.
46
00:03:17.850 –> 00:03:22.939
Fuzz: That’s right, yeah, so it’s not a Nissan Sony at all, is it? No, it’s a Pulsar GTA.
47
00:03:22.940 –> 00:03:23.690
Tim shaw: Zilla.
48
00:03:24.290 –> 00:03:28.690
Fuzz: Baby God’s… like I’ve said, Big God… Godzilla?
49
00:03:29.680 –> 00:03:30.949
Fuzz: Thank you, Godzilla!
50
00:03:31.210 –> 00:03:31.730
Free Car Mag: Yeah.
51
00:03:31.730 –> 00:03:32.700
Fuzz: There we go, come.
52
00:03:33.180 –> 00:03:44.660
Free Car Mag: I also noticed you’ve got a fairly recent 2001. Well, that’s recent to me, because 2001 was yesterday to me, but… Yeah, me too. Mercedes.
53
00:03:44.660 –> 00:04:00.580
Tim shaw: That’s okay, amazing car. Amazing car. The first people to… first people to mass produce, an electric hardtop operated vehicle, and actually make a success of it. Other people tried in the 50s and the 70s, and they finally got it right, and it’s a wonderful piece of engineering, that thing. Wonderful.
54
00:04:00.580 –> 00:04:18.920
Fuzz: It is, yeah, that is a great piece of engineering. But, you know, coming back to what you said about that being a sort of fairly modern car at 2001, I mean, if you see a Y or 51 reg car now, it’s a head turner, I think. I look and I go, well, blimey, that’s an olden.
55
00:04:19.529 –> 00:04:23.019
Tim shaw: No, I hate to say that, but you’re right, Foz. Yeah. True, isn’t it? Yeah.
56
00:04:23.020 –> 00:04:34.060
Fuzz: Yeah, in fact, I was, I was following behind a 55-plate, VW, VW Polo, or something like that, just down the, down the M25 today.
57
00:04:34.190 –> 00:04:40.479
Fuzz: And I was fascinated by this car that was being driven by a young person.
58
00:04:40.480 –> 00:04:41.070
Tim shaw: Brilliant.
59
00:04:41.140 –> 00:04:53.620
Fuzz: really, it was… it’s a classic. It is an absolute bona fide classic. So, you know, I think, I think… I think we have to sort of take into account that, yeah, time is marching on.
60
00:04:54.040 –> 00:05:12.689
Tim shaw: Dude, that’s why we do this job right here. We might have had… there’ll be some young people out there that we’ve had an influence on, and for that reason, they will now choose to buy a car like that, which is, as you say, a bona fide classic, but that will affect and change the rest of their life and give them so much pleasure in so many ways, so that’s great. That’s why we do what we do, James.
61
00:05:13.120 –> 00:05:25.890
Fuzz: Yeah, very true, very true. You know, I got… I bought a… I bought a 1950 Land Rover in 1983, and I thought that this, you know, this thing was from the… from the dawn of time. But now…
62
00:05:26.180 –> 00:05:42.589
Fuzz: You know, I go back… I go back, I, you know, my cars go back to the 1920s, generally, and I’ve driven, you know, driven earlier cars than that, and loved them. But, you know, there’s so much to choose from now. So many things to choose from. I think… I think it should be made compulsory, though.
63
00:05:42.590 –> 00:05:50.120
Fuzz: For, for collectors to have a modern classic, a midway classic, and a pre-war or vintage car.
64
00:05:50.530 –> 00:05:56.969
Tim shaw: That would be great if that was compulsory, if that was the law, that would be brilliant. I think everyone’s opinion on Peter Starmer would change. People would start liking Starmer.
65
00:05:59.050 –> 00:06:07.360
Free Car Mag: A bit of politics there, which is good. any favourite cars, or is it, is it, is it a bit like children, you don’t have a favourite?
66
00:06:07.560 –> 00:06:09.170
Free Car Mag: Classic car of this era.
67
00:06:09.170 –> 00:06:11.539
Fuzz: It can be a little bit like that. I mean, I will admit.
68
00:06:11.670 –> 00:06:26.149
Fuzz: that I have had my head turned by, sort of, early 2017 Lamborghinis, really. I mean, unfortunately, I don’t have enough in the bank to get one of those, but…
69
00:06:26.280 –> 00:06:33.190
Fuzz: I… I… they turn out to be a lot chunkier, a lot heavier, a lot more,
70
00:06:33.340 –> 00:06:46.690
Fuzz: I don’t know, sort of a lot… a lot more, a lot more down-to-earth than, than I thought. And, you know, they’re not quick by today’s standards, by any chance, but… by any means, but they… but…
71
00:06:47.000 –> 00:06:55.049
Fuzz: They… I’ve got a newfound love for the, for the engineering underneath those cars. I think they’re… I think they’re a… I think they’re a cool old yoke, you know?
72
00:06:55.050 –> 00:06:59.539
Tim shaw: And me too as well. I think that goes with, you know, the GTIR Pulsar.
73
00:06:59.940 –> 00:07:08.589
Tim shaw: was the car that I’ve always loved, and maybe I learned a lesson that… in the way back in the day, on the roads… forgive me for eating, by the way, we’ve got a reveal in 20 minutes, and… That’s okay.
74
00:07:08.590 –> 00:07:22.050
Tim shaw: all hits, you know, all hits the fan in 20 minutes. So the GTIR was a car that… I remember back in the day, in Sheffield, on the roads, if you saw one, you avoided them, because they were four-wheel drive, turbo, you know, all that sort of stuff.
75
00:07:22.310 –> 00:07:40.090
Tim shaw: And you stayed out of the way of them, but actually, I met my hero, and I hate to say it, but they’re not all that. But I still love them. It doesn’t… it doesn’t take away, because, you know, back in the day, they were still quick cars. These days, they’re not, by comparison, a quick car to your average modern-ish BMW, or any modern car, in fact.
76
00:07:40.090 –> 00:07:44.890
Fuzz: modern issue, I’m just having a look, there we go, VW Golf.
77
00:07:45.160 –> 00:07:45.690
Free Car Mag: No.
78
00:07:45.690 –> 00:07:47.530
Tim shaw: Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
79
00:07:47.530 –> 00:07:56.729
Fuzz: I mean, you know, that would absolutely… yeah, the Golf would completely stack the, the DIR. Or, as I like to call them, Nissan Sunny Super.
80
00:07:57.380 –> 00:08:00.790
Tim shaw: Anyway, I love, I love him, I love… that’s my…
81
00:08:00.790 –> 00:08:15.710
Fuzz: The thing about those cars, the thing about those cars, is that the best bit, the best-looking bit, is the engine, gearbox and transfer box combination. It looks absolutely amazing. Out of the car, it’s sculptural, it’s beautiful!
82
00:08:15.710 –> 00:08:16.430
Tim shaw: Yeah, it is.
83
00:08:16.430 –> 00:08:31.710
Fuzz: inside the… you can’t see it. You can’t see the best bit of it, and that’s a real disappointment to me. It’s like the best… if you’re gonna get one of those, the best thing you can do is have a really big garage and put it on display just before you finish doing the rebuild.
84
00:08:31.830 –> 00:08:36.370
Fuzz: With the engine and gearbox, everything else. Everything else, so you can then really enjoy it.
85
00:08:36.909 –> 00:08:45.139
Tim shaw: I’m a 90s lad, and I like stuff with clip-on bits. I like it when you take a hole out of a bonnet and put a massive scoop on it. I like having a massive…
86
00:08:45.139 –> 00:08:59.659
Tim shaw: splitter on the front, or a spoiler on the back, or keep a set wings on the side and lowering your car 60mm, whatever it happens to be. That is me, as a kid, and therefore, I’m still a kid, me through and through. So, for me, the GTIR was a car that wasn’t actually modified by the manufacturer.
87
00:08:59.929 –> 00:09:10.189
Tim shaw: sorry, modified by owners, it was actually… came out of the factory looking like that, and that is why I’ve got a soft spot for cars like the GTIR, you know, Golf Rallis, Integralis, Renault Turbos, you know, all that.
88
00:09:10.190 –> 00:09:12.459
Fuzz: Cool palm bits, plastic, plastic.
89
00:09:12.460 –> 00:09:20.310
Tim shaw: Yeah, but fine, whatever. Call them clip-on bits all you want, you’re right, they are. They are clip-on bits, but I’m just a… I’m just a clip-on guy.
90
00:09:20.830 –> 00:09:26.879
Fuzz: I mean, yes, that’s right. But, you know, it’s like the inside of the pulsar…
91
00:09:27.310 –> 00:09:45.349
Fuzz: doesn’t look… it’s understated. I think they got it wrong. They needed to make it look really special in there, so that when you’re driving the car, you’re going, yeah, I’m somewhere special. But it looks like your nan’s Nissan Sunny, with a few more, you know, a few more switches here and there, but, you know, it’s not… it’s…
92
00:09:45.680 –> 00:09:46.810
Tim shaw: For me.
93
00:09:47.320 –> 00:09:53.359
Fuzz: I felt it was, I don’t know, it kind of let it let the side down a little bit for me. But, you know.
94
00:09:53.690 –> 00:09:59.210
Fuzz: I still understand why people like them, but will I… will I ever buy one? Absolutely not.
95
00:10:00.820 –> 00:10:10.029
Tim shaw: The Lamborghi for me, then. The Lamborghi, we can’t tell you which one it is, but yeah, I think we’ll both agree that the best car of the series, this one, is, the Lamborghi.
96
00:10:10.030 –> 00:10:29.019
Fuzz: No, that’s a very cool car, yeah, I like them. I like the mechanical spec, I like the fact that they’re heavy, they’re chunky, they’re a bit… bit more of a… bit more of a thing to drive. Bit more of a GT, I think, than an out-and-out sort of track car, in general. Although, I suppose your modern, your modern… what the modern ones called? The Terrarium?
97
00:10:29.210 –> 00:10:33.400
Tim shaw: The aquarium, the Temerara.
98
00:10:33.400 –> 00:10:38.049
Fuzz: Oh, Temerara, that’s it, yeah. Temerara. Fucking Temerara, yeah.
99
00:10:38.050 –> 00:10:44.179
Free Car Mag: So you didn’t find that it was made of pasta or anything? It was, it was actually quite a solid old thing?
100
00:10:44.400 –> 00:10:45.249
Tim shaw: Oh, God, yeah.
101
00:10:45.250 –> 00:10:51.019
Fuzz: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. I think, you know, they, they are. I almost said what it was then.
102
00:10:51.960 –> 00:10:52.580
Free Car Mag: Yep.
103
00:10:52.580 –> 00:11:00.759
Tim shaw: Okay, I’m probably going to get dragged away from you in a moment, but what would you like people to take away from this series, apart from be entertained and informed?
104
00:11:00.830 –> 00:11:02.499
Fuzz: Take Tim Shaw away, please.
105
00:11:02.500 –> 00:11:03.100
Free Car Mag: Yeah.
106
00:11:03.100 –> 00:11:20.890
Tim shaw: I’d like… you know what I’d like him to take away, actually, would be that hopefully… on the way down now, in the next 20 minutes, I’ve got to write the reveal for this one. All we know is we’ve got a Lamborghini, a guy who’s not expecting it, and a pub. And I’ve come up with a way of doing it for us. This is what I’m thinking of. So the guy’s gonna be… can we discuss this here, or not?
107
00:11:22.300 –> 00:11:23.330
Free Car Mag: I won’t reveal it, don’t.
108
00:11:23.330 –> 00:11:23.950
Fuzz: Hello, man.
109
00:11:23.950 –> 00:11:34.679
Tim shaw: I mean, don’t… so here’s the thing, it’s what I’m thinking. He’s gonna be in the pub, I’m gonna be there, I’m gonna get a, you know, I’ll bring somebody in who appears to be my wife, so it’ll look like I’m just having a family meal, hidden cameras.
110
00:11:34.680 –> 00:11:44.200
Tim shaw: He’ll be in there having a family meal. There’s some guy on stage playing some music and doing pub quizzes and stuff. He’ll spot me while I’m thinking to go, oh, look, it’s the guy off the telly. I’ll do the whole…
111
00:11:44.380 –> 00:12:02.430
Tim shaw: Oh, mate, I’m out with the family, I’m out with the family thing. He’ll force me into a conversation. What is the one thing you get asked about all the time in Carlos? People always say, do you think it’s real, do you think it’s fake? Do you ever think you give cars back to people who already know? And I’ll say, no, no, you can always… so then I’ll choose our guy from the audience to say, like, do me a favor, mate, pretend
112
00:12:02.430 –> 00:12:08.700
Tim shaw: that you’ve been car SOS, so I’ll get him to practice acting being car SOS, and then we’ll actually sting him. What do you think of that one?
113
00:12:08.930 –> 00:12:13.760
Fuzz: Oh, yeah, that’s great, that’s great. One thing, though, can I, can I wear the wig and pretend to be your wife?
114
00:12:14.170 –> 00:12:20.070
Tim shaw: You can… absolutely. I mean, the look, to be honest with you, I spend more time with you than my wife.
115
00:12:20.420 –> 00:12:24.530
Tim shaw: Yeah, that’s very true, yeah. And you look similar. You’ve got the same facial hair.
116
00:12:24.770 –> 00:12:26.570
Fuzz: I need to tell you something, Tim.
117
00:12:27.590 –> 00:12:31.560
Fuzz: Well… Don’t, no, I, I am your wife.
118
00:12:32.340 –> 00:12:39.549
Tim shaw: I know, that is very true. She says this about you. Anyway, right, I’ve got a… we’ve got a reveal to do, I better get down there, it’s now…
119
00:12:40.290 –> 00:12:44.960
Tim shaw: Thank you very much. And it happens in about 40 minutes, so lovely speaking to you.
120
00:12:44.960 –> 00:12:49.329
