Flashing your hazard is very common thing in Britain when someone lets you in like that.

My dad had a second-hand Land Rover (First warning sign) that developed a knocking (second warning sign) which persisted for several years through multiple other problems being fixed (third warning sign) until one day it abruptly got way worse and ultimately the engine died. Turns out, there was a crack in the crankshaft that grew under it went all the way around.

I can imagine Eloise heading towards the kitchen for a drink and Skin angrily shouting "there's a glass of water RIGHT THERE!!!!" Lol

100% would happen 😂

My first car was a 1978 Toyota Corolla Hatchback in 1989. It had 1 wiper (out of 3, the passenger side has a nice arc from the wiper arm) and no speedometer. My dad gifted me a radar detector and told me to slow down when it started beeping. About 2 weeks later, I was pulled over by city police who had to grab a clothes hanger from his car to hold up my muffler which was dragging on the ground, unbeknownst to me.

The instrument cluster in front of the driver is often one big component now with it's own ecu. And if that ecu is defective nothing on it works. In the cars i know, that instrument cluster+ replacement would probably be around 1500-2000€. But then everything works again and if that's the only problem with the car, you could also get a used part and a workshop to install it. If it's a new enough car you need the workshop to "make the other ecu's accept" the thing. 20:07: If the car has a catalytic converter (and you are young enough that it had one for sure) you will damage that thing doing that too often. And catalytic converters are way more expensive than a new battery.

I had a Ford Fiesta and felt like the big cheese giving my family a lift. That was until we heard a bang and then saw my spare wheel rolling along the road beside us. The tray holding it underneath the car clearly couldn't be arsed doing its job anymore.

I know someone with a photographic memory. Every time he “goes back” to remember something, he closes his eyes and you can see them flicking back and forth under his eyelids as if he was flipping through a book.

I've had some magical cars due to my tendency to not spend more than £500 on one. First one I got in the UK was sold to me by a guy who literally introduced himself as "Honest Joe". Probably should have left then, tbh. Didn't get chance to test-drive it over 30mph, but bought it anyway. Turns out that at 35mph, all the failing bearings used to start screaming. Sounded like a jet engine ramping up. When I got it seen to, the rear bushings disintegrated entirely as well. The mechanic sorted it out and stopped answering my calls...

great podcast again boi's .. flicking ya hazards is a common gesture with Truckies letting each other in to the lane

This is exactly what I said!

Cars and indicators ... had a VL Commodore that on hot days (above 30) using the left indicator would honk the horn in time with the indicators flashing ...

To be fair to Mickus, rainbow is the best paddlepop flavour. I mean, do other flavours even exist?

Great you see Mickus in the 'big chair' !

I've driven for Lyft/Uber for about 6 years and have given 18k rides. I'll pick up passengers and remember them from months ago......the trip they took, our conversations.........it can become a bit awkward if they don't remember me though........lol

On holiday in Crete I returned a hire car to a guy who was basically standing on the street and said he was from the company, and then wondered for weeks if that was legit.

Please tell me that "hurts... no it was Thrifty" joke was as spontaneous as it seemed :D brilliant stuff anyways!

I'd swap that line for, "Once the balls drop..."

The flashing hazard lights as a thank you is a thing in the UK

As I Told You Before Leigh And Mitchell Are My Favourites ❤❤They Are Natural.

I tried to walk through the late night drive thru for a Maccas in Adelaide to get another burger after we'd already been through, and they wouldn't serve me without a car.

Poor Godel's got the Hershey Squirts? That's unlucky

quote of the episode "That's what we're all about on this podcast" killed me

The wedding is on the 27th? What are the odds!?

Oh bang love to hear that!!

My Car does the Max volume every time I start it!

Hi Skin, Leigh, Gode and Mickus, Dave and Charlie. How are you all doing? I love you guys. Congratulations on the wedding Skin

Good gear guys, thank you.

Ute dashboard costs ~A$449.00. So, yeah. Mad money to buy the car for $2K.

I think Mickus should read every joke.

Gödel seemed in a better mood this week

I mean my first car the key fell apart so it was held together with tape. I thought it would be fine but turns out there was an immobiliser built into the key so despite having the key it just couldn't start.

I have a photographic memory, recall is a bitch though.

We have a bar in town called Wanker's Corner.

You guys cant imagine the junk vehicles we see on the roads around Metro Detroit area in the U.S. people will drive anything even with problems.

I have a photographic memory.... but it's undeveloped. (That joke doesn't work on anyone under 30 years old so I'm going to have to retire it soon.)

On Whose Line? the prompt is always "Things you can say about your [insert object here], but not about your girlfriend/partner".

Mickus was robbed of the Bexting point!

When the key battery goes flat and you have to use the key manually,you have to do is put the key in the ignition and turn it on,shame men don't know about cars any more
