    Lenny is a really nice guy. One time I was out for drinks in a random Sydney suburb, and I had posted earlier in the Daihatsu group desperately searching for brake pads for my L200 mira. nek minut Lenny's driving in the middle of the night to deliver them to me, free of charge - while im plastered from a night on the piss. Absolutely a generous and kind hearted man.

    No they weren't, I've been watching these guys since Marty's very first liberty build( also the reason why I bought a 2002 GT legacy like 10 years back) ANYWAYS, They use interim music for specific scenes and that are never released for full songs. Which in my opinion, some of the songs I'd keep on repeat or splice them together because they are SOOO GOOD.

    I recently had to go to site for 3 and a half weeks. Before leaving, I got hold of seasons 3, 4 and 5 of MCM, loaded the dvds onto my phone and watched them on the planes and with my evening meals, after 13hr days- just keeping that smile on my face. I also got to watch Moog's story, on MCM2- smiles, tears, the works. But I suppose what's profound is there's been this transition, where I've been watching the old stuff- you two on a drive way, saying "Rick loves it"- and now my scenery has changed, I'm back home with my wife, watching the new stuff, but you are both still going strong on the Daihatsus, talking about the Blue Turd, but now you have a hoist. I was just watching the story of the Blue Turd! Kinda crazy timing. Love the continuity and how the show is staying true to its roots. You guys rock.

    Anyone know which song starts at about 2:25? Or is it an unreleased Moog track? I recognize the later part of it but didn’t know if it was published anywhere!
