Was great to see such nice people join forces said to lee wasn't keen on the ev evangelist you both met up with but what a great meet now looking forward to Aussie fish n chips you being an ex pat I'm sure lee will be impressed great stuff guys many months ago when I found your site and then hoped you 2 could meet you both need a site we can all watch good luck and god bless

With J Cadogan - my hero

in all the years watching u tube channels.i have never seen anyone increase there subscribers by one thousand a day really amazing

Been following John Cadogan for years. Great to see you meet him

Lee, that was absolutely awesome to see you guys in the video together! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I have to say your Aussie vlogs are bloody good mate.

Always great to hear John speak, in his positive Australian accent.

I do follow mguy and auto expert. Johns videos and his style are fantastic one of my favourites.

Hey nice one Lee, hooking up with Mguy! Fabulous stuff pal. Love this dude.

GREAT! Three of my favourite u-tubers in one vid.

Another excellent video. Sydney has changed a bit since last I was there in 1985. The only thing that could have made this a better video would to have Geoffbuyscars in there with you all. I follow all of you, so thanks for everything.

Same principle when I pegged a piece of cardboard on my Raleigh Grifter pedal bike, as a kid in the 80s, to hit the spokes of the rear wheel. Turned it in to a motorbike instantly…..

John Cadogan is fantastic. Another fantastic vlog !!

I hoped you would meet up with MGUY while you were 'down under', and yes I am subed to him and you for a long time now. Great to see this!

I like that car, yes John is a legend and he pulls no punches. All in all a very interesting video. Gold Star for Mr MacMaster👍👍👍

Ahh Sydney. One of my favourite cities that I’ve visited hands down. Great vid Lee. No messing with words in this one. ☝️

Hello Guys, making broom broom noises is all well and good, but it still doesn't address range anxiety, charging infrastructure, initial cost, massive depreciation, huge repair bills, high insurance cost, thermal runaway, etc. Plus the stigma of owning and driving an EV.

And the risk associated with all those throwing the keys in a bowl and STDs.

That was absolutely brilliant Lee. Three of my favourite KZreadrs, in a great location, talking proper sense. Great stuff. Not sure about the Hyundai Moronic though. I like that it looks a little bit like the Talbot Horizon from back in the day, but that synthesized engine sound is just plain tragic. I'd rather have the old Talbot. It looks even better, sounds better, and would be considerably more fun. It would also be a lot easier to refuel, a lot more reliable, and a lot less fire prone. It's a no brainer really.

John's summary of what the futureof EVs should be was spot on.

Looking forward to seeing John's full review....should be titillating

Great to see you meeting up with Mguy, Lee. I hope Geoff doesn't mind you got to him first! 😉 The car? Fun maybe, but I think it would be like fast food, ultimately unsatisfying.

Great video. It’s so good to see you meeting up in person. Hopefully this will boost both your channels. Of course having 4 people in the car will not make much difference considering the massive weight of the batteries! Thank you for great entertainment and information.

In Australia in the suburbs it's mostly wives of doctors and lawyers who have Tesla's.

The end is brilliant!!

Great that you teamed up with John Cadogan.

Great that you guys got together for a chat.

Great great comments from John cadogan he spot on

My only comment is, you should have brought Geoff! Better pack him in the suitcase the next time :D MGuy, MacMaster and Geoff Buys Cars around the same table would have been an epic uncut video to watch the conversation on EVs.

Great episode Lee, nice to see three KZreadrs together too. Simon seems like a top guy, been following him for a while. Looks like you've been having fun in Aus, enjoy the rest of the trip

Nice video I was shock on the test you guys had fun☺️

I didn't expect to see John Cadogan. From an Engineering perspective you where in safe hands. It was like watching Mad Max behind the Wheel. With the movie sound track composed by Hanz Zimmer. Picture and Sound so real it's like being there.

Not sure if there is a subtle fake digital mode that simulates engine vibrations but once introduced, it may very well convert the loyal petrol heads.

Great to see John on your channel!

Big fan of John Cadogan, Thanks Lee

If you have the engine noise on do you lose 50 miles of range?

At last, so glad you both managed to get together, what a great video. Respect to you both and I love both of your U-Tube channels.

Great post guys.

That ionic 5N was insane, even as a concept/prototype vehicle. I'll be looking out for JC's full rundown of the car on his channel. I predict a mad scramble by the remaining EV makers to soup up their offerings in similar ways, just to get some interest and excitment back into what are basically whitegoods on wheels. Nice to see you about town with Mguy. You can cross I rode in a concept super EV with John Cardogan at the wheel off your bucket list now Lee 😁

Mguy is a top bloke. Love to see him do a test drive from Sydney to Perth with 4 people and luggage in a Tesla and give us the stats…aircon running at tops. Nice guy never seen in a social atmosphere

The charging spots appropriately look like disabled parking.

It is quick and sounded great; AND there were 4 of you in the Ionic 5, too. WOW! 😮😊

Awesome video!

A real treat three of my favorite people I follow! Makes me want to visit Australia!

Absolutely brilliant vlog.

I love how John Cadogan takes the corners, I thought Mac and MGUY may have gone all poopy in their trousers. I loved this episode, I've been a subscriber of Johns for a while, if you've not seen his rants about Electric Jesus your missing a treat, he speaks the Queens English and leaves nothing to the Imagination. I will be subscribing to MGUY too.

It's all very well being quick, but for how long?

Hi Lee just love your vlogs of Australia. Have a great time over there. ❤️

Personally i couldnt care less about the car.. im still getting over the fact. I've just seen 3 of my favourite KZreadrs in 1 video.. Good thing you didnt have GBC in the video too or our phones would have burst into flames like a tesla.. Well done Lee.. Fantastic!

Lee mentioned at the beginning of the video how weird it was seeing his favourite KZreadrs in person when he was watching him all the time.. I was the same when I met Stephen from walk on the wildside last Tuesday lol 👍

Grate video Lee the test drive was epic pity it was a E/V thnks for the vues as well.

my personally three most viewed youtube guys in one video😝 G‘day to You all!!!😎

John Cadogan?..Australian legend, great videos on you-tube...

2 of my Favorite KZreadrs meet. John is a very intelligent guy with tons of experience who speaks his mind without fear of reprisal, which is why I like him. If you hadn't heard of John, I hope my suggestion in an earlier vlog that you catch up when you were in Sydney had some influence on you 2 catching up. I've subscribed to MGUY as well.

Love Simon - thank you for featuring him Lee. Great video as usual. 👍

You're all on my watchlist - keep going!

Just drive a Mercedes SLK ! I do and it’s brilliant.

Brilliant. Two of my favourite KZreadrs. Good work Lee 👍

With the weight and the grunt...I'd hate to think how quickly you're going to go through tires...? It's going to coast a bomb to run: charging, tyres, servicing only at Hyundai, speeding tickets.

Great video Lee. There was no mention of the range of this thing and also is the artificial engine noise heard on the outside as well as the inside?

Honestly, every EV has software at its core, and software, regardless of where it is, in a Tesla, in an Iphone or an Android device, is still liable to crash or malfunction at some point. At least with a manual car you can get out of it if the computer goes bonkers. Great video, keep it up 👌

Planes had software controlling everything for decades. I'm not sold on drive by wire but mechanical linkages are not always the best option, nor are they 100% reliable either.

Clever idea adding engine engine sound but once the novelty wears off...🤔

Yes and the software ages and the sound becomes intermittent and it's only 15K to have it fixed.

Great vlog enjoyed what everyone had to say about the EV

"Undisclosed location" : the strrets of Macquarie Park. 😄😄😄

Mixing with the big boys now.

Just loved this video great entertainment thanks

Great video so cool you met up with MG guy as I’m subscribed with him as well. People with common sense usually end up meeting others with common sense. One of us 😂

The EV is like our Australian Prime Minister, it’s pretending to be something it isn’t.

Well, they aren't pretending to be dictators. Let's start ranging. Firstly, our defence force is under maned and out gunned. We don't have enough tanks to give away. Those tanks are still in brand new condition in an inland location. They should never have been given a retirement date. We need hundreds to protect Australia. 59? isn't enough. Secondly, the elite class have developed a cult whereby the inside violence and hatred against the other. As a result, I expect more division, crime, murder etc. For example, take council's hard stance on tents that house the homeless. Look at Canberra's police force that either don't know the law or don't abide by it seen during COVID. Take the government's comments on our deceased soldiers during the recent copper crash. A downed registered Australia aircraft during training was given the comment by politicians 'they knew what they signed up for'. Thirdly, the immigration rate is a disgrace to our diggers. They let everyone in that they fought against. If you go to Griffith, it will feel like a different country. The money pours in because it can't fail. If it fails, the Government's multiculturalism fails. Everything is fine with money, but what if China doesn't bounce back? What if we fall on hard times? If that happens, multiculturalism will fail. Australia has nice scenery, but I wouldn't live here by choice. And, I won't fight for this country. I'll fight ounce invaded. Our front line will fail. That's fact.

Good Evening Lee, Simon and John. As an Experienced Driver of a few years now. i really did Simon's Mercedes Benz 350 SLK. Some very Good Driving and Handling of the Hyundi i5 EV. The Engine sound effects were Good. It is totally fake and boring. It has no Character, Soul, Spirit you do not get the feel from the EV, like you would with a Proper Combustion Engined Car. Way to fast to keep in control. 470 HP. That is Megga Fast. I did not like it at all, it's rather lacking of any Kerb Side appeal. I really Love my True Super Cars, Bugatti Chiron, Pagani Zonda, Lamborgini Aventador, MacClaren FI, Aston Martin Vulcan 1800 HP. These are my Favourite selection of Super Cars with real Powerful Engines and a Glorious Feel Good Factor of 1000%. No EV's thank you much.

EV = CPV Coal Powered Vehicle.

John Cadogan is a legend. My wife and I watched his channel many times and he never failed to make us laugh every time. Typical Aussie guy through and through. Simon seems a cool guy and he's bang on about what he said about EV's ending up in landfill sights. None of them will ever be classics. I'm not sold with any EV even if it makes engine noises. So cheesy. So far Sydney just looks like a typical city with a nice harbour. Adelaide beats it hands down for the feel good factor. It's so good for families as it has a big town feeling about it. Amazing city.

@@troy906 I've been there so seen more than what Lee is showing. Sydney is lovely don't get me wrong and beats UK cities hands down but for me Adelaide has real charm and amazing architecture. It has a more relaxed feeling about it with a fraction of the traffic. I know because I lived there, so I've had a taste of both cities. I also been to Perth and lived in Melbourne which I also prefer both to Sydney. 🙂

Great shots of the harbour bridge there Lee...

Really enjoyed that.

Great that you had a chat with m guy great bloke and Australia looks toppa👍

Wow, the dream team together, Lee, Simon and John. Looking forward to more like this. Robin

Hi Lee, Hope you're loving it down under. Loved the vlogs in Perth, Fantastic place, and so is Sydney. Have a great time. Live Long & Prosper! 🖖

Just love your videos and your comments just a breath of fresh air

Liked video meeting m guy and john.very convincing but still not for ordinary people.

4 Dicks hooning around Sydney in an EV, bet you would have gotten more looks in the Valiant , maybe even scored! 😉

Best combination of minds on motoring I've seen you must do more together 👍

Nice one Lee, like the sounds on the flash milk float😆😆

My 3 favourite KZread car people in one video. Thank you. I had an i30N 6 speed manual which was fun but I decided to sell it and get out of Hyundai when it decided to go all electric with the N division, I have my integrity, after all. I will stick with my modest collection of ICE cars.

To hide the potential disclosure of exceeding the posted speed limit I would have thought.

It's crazy for me to see the three of you together, I subscribe to all three of you!

It's a car not a computer game . Driving a car is a dangerous exercise , not a game .

Driving a BMC Mini with a blown exhaust would be more fun and probably safer IMO. Plus it would be much greener.

Great video Lee. Despite all the Gimmicks it is still an electric car and has the failings and issues that come with it. Not to mention the eye watering price.

I love these three men!

Cracking video Lee! You should take Geoff Buys Cars to Sydney!!!

Great video. I wonder how many minutes the novelty of an unrealistic artificial engine sound will take to become annoying. I loved the grimace Simon made when following a dreaded Tesla. Brilliant! It was professional of you to be polite about the Hyundai while in it though. Great stuff.

You were right, this guy isn’t ‘scary’ at all, actually a pretty cool guy as a guest on your channel

Good video onwards my friends 👍

Great video again lee your brekkie looked amazing great laugh about Ev drivers 😂😂 fabulous ❤

Wow Lee!, if you had Geoff with you, you would have my top 4 KZread subscription list all in the same video😊( that's a little freaky, but awesome at the same time)

Spot on. MGuy nails it.

The best three on u tube

This is awesome...

Hi three of my favorite youtubes in one great video ! Good to have engine sounds in the car are you able to hear them if the car passed you on the street .We have R C cars and they have lots of different engine sounds downloadable.
