Buying ANOTHER CAR off Facebook Marketplace

**The World of Cars: A Journey Through Excitement and Research**

As I embarked on my car journey with my friend, we couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. We were headed to Greenacre, a destination known for its abundance of car dealerships, and our mission was to explore the world of cars. From sleek models like the M3 and RS3, to high-performance engines like the one I mentioned earlier, every stop on our journey would bring us closer to discovering what makes these vehicles tick.

**The Track: A Test of Skill and Caution**

One of our first stops was the track, where we witnessed drivers pushing their cars to the limit. The sound of screeching tires and roaring engines filled the air as drivers took their turns on the asphalt. We couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the sheer speed and power of these machines. It's no wonder that driving can be both exhilarating and intimidating, especially when it comes to handling high-performance cars like the M3 and RS3.

**Black Chops: A Haven for Car Enthusiasts**

After our time on the track, we headed to Black Chops, a hub for car enthusiasts. The owners of this establishment had developed a unique approach to catering to the needs of car enthusiasts, who often require more than just your average driving experience. With a focus on efficiency and reliability, they catered to drivers like me, who want to get the most out of their vehicle without sacrificing performance.

**Kebab Shops: A Treat for Car Enthusiasts**

As we continued our journey, we stumbled upon a hidden gem – King's Corner Kebabs. This small shop had been serving up delicious food for over 20 years and was known for its made-to-order kebabs, cooked fresh to perfection. The aroma of sizzling meat wafted through the air as we waited in line, eager to taste some of their famous creations.

**Meet Muhammad: The Master of Kebab Cuisine**

Inside King's Corner Kebabs, we met Muhammad, the mastermind behind this culinary institution. With over 12 years of experience under his belt, he was the perfect guide for any food enthusiast looking to try something new. As we browsed through the menu, our eyes widened at the sheer variety of options available – from pizzas and burgers to salads and chips.

**The Great Peri-Perry Debate**

As we perused the menu, one issue caught my attention – the lack of peri-perry sauce. It seemed like a small thing, but for us car enthusiasts, it was an important consideration. Would this shop be willing to accommodate our request? We decided to ask Muhammad about it and see how he would respond.

**Research and Registration: The Next Step**

After our meeting with Muhammad, we realized that there was still more work to be done before our journey could come to a close. We needed to research the registration process for our car, ensuring that we were following all the necessary steps to make it legal. It was clear that this would require some effort and dedication, but one thing was certain – we were committed to seeing it through.

**The Search for Donuts: A PhD in Fat Doughnut Physics**

As we continued on our journey, we stumbled upon a topic of great importance – the donut. Specifically, the fat doughnut. It seemed like a trivial matter, but after conducting some research, we realized that this was no easy feat. We had to delve into the world of phd-level physics to understand the intricacies of doughnut creation. It was clear that our journey would not be without its challenges.

**And So, Our Journey Continues...**

As I sit here writing about my car journey, I am reminded of the excitement and anticipation that comes with exploring new horizons. From high-performance engines to delicious kebabs, every stop on our journey has been a reminder of the importance of research, dedication, and a sense of adventure. Whether we're pushing our cars to the limit or indulging in tasty treats, every moment is an opportunity to learn and grow.

**A Farewell for Now...**

And so, as I conclude this article, I want to thank all the people who have contributed to my journey thus far. From Muhammad at King's Corner Kebabs to the owners of Black Chops, each stop on our journey has been a reminder that there is always more to discover and explore. Until next time, when we'll continue to push the boundaries of what's possible with cars...

sale from an individual can i show you something but i am still blocked people i contacted i can't i don't know why you can't did you get me blocked so that i wouldn't buy any more no of course not how i don't even know how you'd do that anyway look at this kia carnival here so i basically sent him a message and i went call what's the address he told me what the address was i put the address into google wait i know the answer i know it's going to be it is either a wrecking yard or a dealership yes how do you know because it's a dealership but then i seem to be true but then i send them back a message and i go oh that's a dealer and then what do you think he wrote back he said i know this because i've had it so many times oh i i normally sell cars as a dealer with a dealer license yes but this one's my own car that's what he said he said this is my personal black chops how did you know cause it's happened to me with black jobs so are we about to get ripped no he's saving he's doing something i don't know what he's doing but black jobs was the same thing it was that was that a deal i might call i'll take it here's some money oh i'm just gonna go transfer it to my own name then buy it off me okay i don't know all i know is this car's asking price at the moment these cars are during these crazy times 30 to 40 thousand dollars easy this one's 11. in australia the cheapest one i could find of anything similar to it is twenty thousand dollars yeah and that's for one that's way older than that and that's a lot of car for 11 grand well is it i mean look we haven't even got there yet mate well but i'm i feel like we're gonna get scammed yeah of course we are but i'm honestly someone who's gonna get scared someone no this is not a win-win situation no this is a win-lose situation it's how much we lose and whether that's worth it or not right you know what i mean because when there's a nice picture of a car and then the next picture is a box with parts in it ah yeah you know yeah and bits missing anyway martin this is this is um this is exciting though isn't it yeah and we both like these cars i feel like my emu farm is going to be a better investment than this car well it's it's how many smiles do you get from an emu though mate that's the question you get kicked in the balls pretty hard ask me how i know really yeah oh i told you about that guy that had to get his yeah you did it's reconstructed yeah from the anus to the tip all the way down because it exploded after the start kicked it yeah because a bulk again that was up in like northern far north queensland and explode and one of the testicles uh compressed and exploded and the other one actually was removed as in uniball epic anyway speaking of things that explode let's go look at this let's try and look at this car i'm a little bit embarrassed really oh yeah why well i don't know because we haven't told the people yet why i would even be interested in this car i know why you're interested in this car because i already had one exactly it's like you you're 11 girlfriend or something and she was totally awesome that you you dumped it because you just were too cool for school and then you know 10 years later you see her again you're like oh so then you go and date her sister is that what it's like yeah except um her sister's really cheap for some reason panel down and and and is like here's my home address but when i'm putting in that address it's actually a massage parlor all right yeah um anyway i just um yeah i've already had one of these cars and i never admitted to anyone on the internet that i sold it so i think everyone still thinks i own it do they yeah we never we never i don't think we ever told anyone that i got rid of it oh you did why'd you get rid of it i can't work it i don't know why i don't know why it's one of those silly things usually it's marty trying to sell my stuff he sold my motorbike actually sold my money wanted to sell it and marty thought for some reason because we we own a lot of stuff together he he seemed to remember that he actually owned my motorbike almost there we're on the princess highway heading south 300 meters away martin so it looks like it's just past this turn off where the car wash is on the left that's a car wash oh is there a car sales there it is where is it which one after the car wash dude oh i see cash for scrap no no cash for cash for cars is this us in here yep this is it oh dude oh my god are you serious look at it no no look at it no no martin it is that brz just there but oh it's convertible no take that back oh boot full of parts awesome yep that's good always promising so these are the plastics and stuff subs all the clips and that's that's pretty good that is pretty good actually that comes with it well it does i reckon all the parts that a lot of plastics that is a lot of plastics it looks smashed up maybe this is oh is that a ts is that a special kind of slightly fancy i think i think the ts is a fancy one yeah and it's got this to our wheels i don't think it's like an sti but it's if it is that one and it's a late 15 bill which makes it my 16 this is 16 yeah yep yeah november 15. looks really clean so yeah this all looks different colors like clearly that's the first thing you look for yes you know that's that's normal but that's like obviously been painted that's a different color to that you can sort of see also like pick the bolts yes witness marks like little bits of paint and stuff yep but again if it runs and drives and does brz things yeah i mean it looks looks clean for a crashed car it's not that old it's five years old totally factory i wonder if it's even got like an air filter on it the performance airport yeah it's got a yeah it's got like an aftermarket yeah pretty standard right people doing them tires on it are good oh dude look sport floors oh fours i thought i recognized the tread pattern wouldn't just these wheels and tires be worth a couple of grand yeah they're good they're the fancy ones slightly fancier factory ones what's your vibe i wonder if both sides have been painted i mean it says that the roof was damaged as well all right i'll find the actual report dude you need to just buy this thing you need to buy it it's so good like who cares like look at it look it doesn't look obviously smashed because you can also unbolt these front whole front ends so sometimes just unbolt it straighten it up and go again yeah but who knows i mean like someone's put the effort into repairing it and that's the other thing if it has been crashed but someone's repaired it properly that's not actually the end of the world yeah so the damage it had was um passenger front heavy driver front heavy roof light air bag so the air bag's gone off seat belt pretension has gone off so which is probably why it's been written off in terms of just registerable ability yeah but but can be so it's not a stat write-off it's a repairable write-off so um but i think because it was written off in queensland it would have to go back to queensland um so i gotta we gotta work out how we do that using your washers submission the actual stick from the washers so that's obviously but if you look down the side of it man it's smooth straight it's really straight i wonder how much got painted i mean the bar you can see a difference in color here yeah sometimes that's the difference between plastic and metal oh isn't it but yeah that's a little yellower than that that just doesn't fit properly yeah but that could be i mean remember putting the bar on the old one yes it's a bit tricky yeah but same thing like the front that either means the front's out of shape or that's like sometimes they can be aftermarket bars that don't fit right yeah back on the civic yep it's really clean i guess the the the gamble really is is that we have to assume based on the legislation which i believe changed in new south wales in 2011 basically what was happening is that um any cars that were flood damaged or hail damaged up in queensland people were buying them and then using their vins to rebirth stolen cars down in sydney so in 2011 new south wales legislated that they changed that rule that you couldn't register repairable write-offs in new south wales uh unless they'd already been registered in the other states so potentially i mean we'll have to investigate this but potentially this is going to have to be shipped to queensland repairs checked registered there and then i believe you can have it back here within 12 months as long as it's checked by a specific station to make sure all the repairs are done properly that says that's going to be why it's cheap isn't it it could be in education to go look tow truck there and back two thousand dollars workshop up there a few thousand dollars five or six grand i mean that's getting this closer to 16 17 grand you can get an 86 for 20 grand at the moment so it's a matter of whether people want to spend the time for me though i think it's an it's it's an interesting education um but i'm not paying asking price because i don't pay asking price for it doesn't make any knocking noises or anything the air conditioning is icy so yeah if it's at a front end that means that bothered to re-gas it looks really clean man it's not old enough to be feral yet is it yeah um i can't drive it is the only thing but should we just take a punt on it yep that's got a crazy short shifter look at this look how short it is um i've only got five grand though so can i can i borrow the rest of you is that all right is that all right what do i get friendship and love man kebabs for money yeah we'll go for kebabs you're paying for the kebabs do you have another 20 bucks for kebabs though yeah uh what day is it today so you don't actually need five grand you need 4980 what day is it monday i'll pay you back on sunday night is that all right all right let's go another chat as as it is in its standard thing and we can go backwards and forwards like i would offer you nine thousand dollars to take it like now um and just pay you entirely and go just take the risk on the whole region well well hopefully he comes through with the goods because the thing is with the receipts with a lot with a bit of time and money it can be registered but without those it's actually not worth that because it's a track car then so they're in there cutting a deal i think they're going to work it out and i think it's going to be cheap the car fault does fall into this weird sort of grey area of the car's been repaired obviously been repaired really well obviously still does everything you need a brz to do but in terms of actually registering at the street driving it it's kind of grey depending on receipts from panel repairs insurance situations compulsory third-party registration the rules are a bit different state to state in australia as well so there's issues that come into play with that that's stuff we're not sure of and that's stuff we can't actually confirm and that is why the car is cheap because if it was 10 grand you could rego it it would be gone within minutes um so really what we're we're taking the risk that we may not be able to register it but at the end of the day that's not a complete deal breaker we should still make a mad brz that's about on the track it just means you're towing or trailering it there and back but uh yeah overall really nice dude that's around the joint he's been totally open and transparent about that and understands why he's not selling this car for 30 grand which is what a stock registered one would go for in the current market do you want to give me your details and i'll just transfer it over to you straight away all right so we just uh negotiated the price uh asking price was eleven thousand five hundred dollars uh he'd already been offered ten thousand dollars but that was from someone interstate um i said i'll give you nine grand right now and he was like no um and then i was like what number do we need to get it done and he just said look nine and a half and we'll do it and i went boom transferred the money and a half grand dude nine and a half grand i think that's an absolute bargain and there it is we've got our new new there it is hopefully a um hopefully a mad look i've driven at four meters and most importantly a mad project a mad problem something different on it'll be sick yeah exactly and look worst case scenario it's a track car which still for the money is okay at the auctions crashed brzeds seven thousand dollars i crashed without it so we've paid two and a half more than that for a car that i've driven three meters in forward and reverse if nothing else a mad track car good shield um a good a good project a good nugget to have i've been looking for something a bit more nuggety and something you can ski you know something we can skid him so fantastic oh give me the money let's get out of here yeah let's do it i'll just leave that there and um and do you want me to give you the address now where it's going i'll text you right now thanks mate okay bye bye got a tow truck cool got a tow truck he's coming now just gotta send in the address uh he's gonna pick it up bring it up that's how you buy a car job done he was cool yeah he was way more relaxed than i thought actually when you kind of think of a a car yard down here it's kind of i don't know i didn't have high hopes for it but um great so yeah got a track car again yeah that's some real drive you can skid not quite a lotus but also one and a half grand you love they're actually five grand you love these things it's okay to admit it i know you love them they know you love them yeah they're mad yeah they're awesome especially especially for that purpose for tracks for doing skid pans like we did in the e30 that time like that was mad fun yeah and i was even saying at that night this would be even more fun in something like a modern e brz you know yes 15 whatever something that's sort of like made to slide around and that's the thing like nobody there was in like nice s13s because i was like going well i'm still doing guys but they were very risky there i've still got to get my 180sx and get it going again that project is still happening but i was like do you do that up make it nice and it's worth 30 or 40 grand and then take it to a drift day i don't know yeah but it'd be our z for nine grand of which only paid five of thanks mate man happy days people were skidding those s13s back in the day because they were like this car now yes that's right it's just because you could get them you know with gray area register ability and you know i mean you remember that's what it was like yes for a while there's like five grand go skidded if you hit a wall oh well go buy another one for five grand yeah exactly and i think that's one of the concerns with driving whether it's m3s rs3s low ti you know at the track for maybe people like you and me that don't run it companies or law firms it's like it's a big deal if you run into a wall well it is yeah and you don't want to take classic off the road i mean that's why black chops has sort of like developments sort of basically done for now does it you know we asked at the time does it need a thousand horsepower and people like yeah it doesn't well no it doesn't yeah because it sounds like that's just an internet that is either bacon tires breaking stuff or hitting a wall and i don't want to do any of those things yeah i want to back tires i can do that without breaking 500 horsepower at the engine yep cool man well yeah that was a very good result this morning super efficient uh kebab time and now um we are on our way to acre now mate uh which is near tolora why um well there's a um no don't i know that look i know that look are you looking you just uh so we're on our way to a you know what's that green acre a lot of car dealerships we're on our way to a car dealership uh in green acre and um so come with us i will try and get a cabana duty tables were turned and i was driving and i'd done today what you were doing you would be seriously worried yeah what because you you got to move some cars out before you can move some cars in there brz gone goldfire gone lotus gone yeah okay i got some spending money i mean i don't well you borrowed money with me so potentially not but okay i get where you're coming from but if i i can't get any anything new because i've got too many mad projects to finish you do that's actually okay king's corner kebabs very well known in this part of the world king's corner kebabs i really hope it's open some of these kebab shops only operate at night when people get hungry after their big night's out yes let's check some reviews on their website we've got 194 ratings two days ago five great p day we haven't been able to find anything that compares we've been

get his yeah you did it's reconstructed yeah from the anus to the tip all the way down because it exploded after the start kicked it yeah because a bulk again that was up in like northern far north queensland and explode and one of the testicles uh compressed and exploded and the other one actually was removed as in uniball epic anyway speaking of things that explode let's go look at this let's try and look at this car i'm a little bit embarrassed really oh yeah why well i don't know because we haven't told the people yet why i would even be interested in this car i know why you're interested in this car because i already had one exactly it's like you you're 11 girlfriend or something and she was totally awesome that you you dumped it because you just were too cool for school and then you know 10 years later you see her again you're like oh so then you go and date her sister is that what it's like yeah except um her sister's really cheap for some reason panel down and and and is like here's my home address but when i'm putting in that address it's actually a massage parlor all right yeah um anyway i just um yeah i've already had one of these cars and i never admitted to anyone on the internet that i sold it so i think everyone still thinks i own it do they yeah we never we never i don't think we ever told anyone that i got rid of it oh you did why'd you get rid of it i can't work it i don't know why i don't know why it's one of those silly things usually it's marty trying to sell my stuff he sold my motorbike actually sold my money wanted to sell it and marty thought for some reason because we we own a lot of stuff together he he seemed to remember that he actually owned my motorbike almost there we're on the princess highway heading south 300 meters away martin so it looks like it's just past this turn off where the car wash is on the left that's a car wash oh is there a car sales there it is where is it which one after the car wash dude oh i see cash for scrap no no cash for cash for cars is this us in here yep this is it oh dude oh my god are you serious look at it no no look at it no no martin it is that brz just there but oh it's convertible no take that back oh boot full of parts awesome yep that's good always promising so these are the plastics and stuff subs all the clips and that's that's pretty good that is pretty good actually that comes with it well it does i reckon all the parts that a lot of plastics that is a lot of plastics it looks smashed up maybe this is oh is that a ts is that a special kind of slightly fancy i think i think the ts is a fancy one yeah and it's got this to our wheels i don't think it's like an sti but it's if it is that one and it's a late 15 bill which makes it my 16 this is 16 yeah yep yeah november 15. looks really clean so yeah this all looks different colors like clearly that's the first thing you look for yes you know that's that's normal but that's like obviously been painted that's a different color to that you can sort of see also like pick the bolts yes witness marks like little bits of paint and stuff yep but again if it runs and drives and does brz things yeah i mean it looks looks clean for a crashed car it's not that old it's five years old totally factory i wonder if it's even got like an air filter on it the performance airport yeah it's got a yeah it's got like an aftermarket yeah pretty standard right people doing them tires on it are good oh dude look sport floors oh fours i thought i recognized the tread pattern wouldn't just these wheels and tires be worth a couple of grand yeah they're good they're the fancy ones slightly fancier factory ones what's your vibe i wonder if both sides have been painted i mean it says that the roof was damaged as well all right i'll find the actual report dude you need to just buy this thing you need to buy it it's so good like who cares like look at it look it doesn't look obviously smashed because you can also unbolt these front whole front ends so sometimes just unbolt it straighten it up and go again yeah but who knows i mean like someone's put the effort into repairing it and that's the other thing if it has been crashed but someone's repaired it properly that's not actually the end of the world yeah so the damage it had was um passenger front heavy driver front heavy roof light air bag so the air bag's gone off seat belt pretension has gone off so which is probably why it's been written off in terms of just registerable ability yeah but but can be so it's not a stat write-off it's a repairable write-off so um but i think because it was written off in queensland it would have to go back to queensland um so i gotta we gotta work out how we do that using your washers submission the actual stick from the washers so that's obviously but if you look down the side of it man it's smooth straight it's really straight i wonder how much got painted i mean the bar you can see a difference in color here yeah sometimes that's the difference between plastic and metal oh isn't it but yeah that's a little yellower than that that just doesn't fit properly yeah but that could be i mean remember putting the bar on the old one yes it's a bit tricky yeah but same thing like the front that either means the front's out of shape or that's like sometimes they can be aftermarket bars that don't fit right yeah back on the civic yep it's really clean i guess the the the gamble really is is that we have to assume based on the legislation which i believe changed in new south wales in 2011 basically what was happening is that um any cars that were flood damaged or hail damaged up in queensland people were buying them and then using their vins to rebirth stolen cars down in sydney so in 2011 new south wales legislated that they changed that rule that you couldn't register repairable write-offs in new south wales uh unless they'd already been registered in the other states so potentially i mean we'll have to investigate this but potentially this is going to have to be shipped to queensland repairs checked registered there and then i believe you can have it back here within 12 months as long as it's checked by a specific station to make sure all the repairs are done properly that says that's going to be why it's cheap isn't it it could be in education to go look tow truck there and back two thousand dollars workshop up there a few thousand dollars five or six grand i mean that's getting this closer to 16 17 grand you can get an 86 for 20 grand at the moment so it's a matter of whether people want to spend the time for me though i think it's an it's it's an interesting education um but i'm not paying asking price because i don't pay asking price for it doesn't make any knocking noises or anything the air conditioning is icy so yeah if it's at a front end that means that bothered to re-gas it looks really clean man it's not old enough to be feral yet is it yeah um i can't drive it is the only thing but should we just take a punt on it yep that's got a crazy short shifter look at this look how short it is um i've only got five grand though so can i can i borrow the rest of you is that all right is that all right what do i get friendship and love man kebabs for money yeah we'll go for kebabs you're paying for the kebabs do you have another 20 bucks for kebabs though yeah uh what day is it today so you don't actually need five grand you need 4980 what day is it monday i'll pay you back on sunday night is that all right all right let's go another chat as as it is in its standard thing and we can go backwards and forwards like i would offer you nine thousand dollars to take it like now um and just pay you entirely and go just take the risk on the whole region well well hopefully he comes through with the goods because the thing is with the receipts with a lot with a bit of time and money it can be registered but without those it's actually not worth that because it's a track car then so they're in there cutting a deal i think they're going to work it out and i think it's going to be cheap the car fault does fall into this weird sort of grey area of the car's been repaired obviously been repaired really well obviously still does everything you need a brz to do but in terms of actually registering at the street driving it it's kind of grey depending on receipts from panel repairs insurance situations compulsory third-party registration the rules are a bit different state to state in australia as well so there's issues that come into play with that that's stuff we're not sure of and that's stuff we can't actually confirm and that is why the car is cheap because if it was 10 grand you could rego it it would be gone within minutes um so really what we're we're taking the risk that we may not be able to register it but at the end of the day that's not a complete deal breaker we should still make a mad brz that's about on the track it just means you're towing or trailering it there and back but uh yeah overall really nice dude that's around the joint he's been totally open and transparent about that and understands why he's not selling this car for 30 grand which is what a stock registered one would go for in the current market do you want to give me your details and i'll just transfer it over to you straight away all right so we just uh negotiated the price uh asking price was eleven thousand five hundred dollars uh he'd already been offered ten thousand dollars but that was from someone interstate um i said i'll give you nine grand right now and he was like no um and then i was like what number do we need to get it done and he just said look nine and a half and we'll do it and i went boom transferred the money and a half grand dude nine and a half grand i think that's an absolute bargain and there it is we've got our new new there it is hopefully a um hopefully a mad look i've driven at four meters and most importantly a mad project a mad problem something different on it'll be sick yeah exactly and look worst case scenario it's a track car which still for the money is okay at the auctions crashed brzeds seven thousand dollars i crashed without it so we've paid two and a half more than that for a car that i've driven three meters in forward and reverse if nothing else a mad track car good shield um a good a good project a good nugget to have i've been looking for something a bit more nuggety and something you can ski you know something we can skid him so fantastic oh give me the money let's get out of here yeah let's do it i'll just leave that there and um and do you want me to give you the address now where it's going i'll text you right now thanks mate okay bye bye got a tow truck cool got a tow truck he's coming now just gotta send in the address uh he's gonna pick it up bring it up that's how you buy a car job done he was cool yeah he was way more relaxed than i thought actually when you kind of think of a a car yard down here it's kind of i don't know i didn't have high hopes for it but um great so yeah got a track car again yeah that's some real drive you can skid not quite a lotus but also one and a half grand you love they're actually five grand you love these things it's okay to admit it i know you love them they know you love them yeah they're mad yeah they're awesome especially especially for that purpose for tracks for doing skid pans like we did in the e30 that time like that was mad fun yeah and i was even saying at that night this would be even more fun in something like a modern e brz you know yes 15 whatever something that's sort of like made to slide around and that's the thing like nobody there was in like nice s13s because i was like going well i'm still doing guys but they were very risky there i've still got to get my 180sx and get it going again that project is still happening but i was like do you do that up make it nice and it's worth 30 or 40 grand and then take it to a drift day i don't know yeah but it'd be our z for nine grand of which only paid five of thanks mate man happy days people were skidding those s13s back in the day because they were like this car now yes that's right it's just because you could get them you know with gray area register ability and you know i mean you remember that's what it was like yes for a while there's like five grand go skidded if you hit a wall oh well go buy another one for five grand yeah exactly and i think that's one of the concerns with driving whether it's m3s rs3s low ti you know at the track for maybe people like you and me that don't run it companies or law firms it's like it's a big deal if you run into a wall well it is yeah and you don't want to take classic off the road i mean that's why black chops has sort of like developments sort of basically done for now does it you know we asked at the time does it need a thousand horsepower and people like yeah it doesn't well no it doesn't yeah because it sounds like that's just an internet that is either bacon tires breaking stuff or hitting a wall and i don't want to do any of those things yeah i want to back tires i can do that without breaking 500 horsepower at the engine yep cool man well yeah that was a very good result this morning super efficient uh kebab time and now um we are on our way to acre now mate uh which is near tolora why um well there's a um no don't i know that look i know that look are you looking you just uh so we're on our way to a you know what's that green acre a lot of car dealerships we're on our way to a car dealership uh in green acre and um so come with us i will try and get a cabana duty tables were turned and i was driving and i'd done today what you were doing you would be seriously worried yeah what because you you got to move some cars out before you can move some cars in there brz gone goldfire gone lotus gone yeah okay i got some spending money i mean i don't well you borrowed money with me so potentially not but okay i get where you're coming from but if i i can't get any anything new because i've got too many mad projects to finish you do that's actually okay king's corner kebabs very well known in this part of the world king's corner kebabs i really hope it's open some of these kebab shops only operate at night when people get hungry after their big night's out yes let's check some reviews on their website we've got 194 ratings two days ago five great p day we haven't been able to find anything that compares we've been visiting this shop for 20 years made to order cooked fresh they do pizza burgers chips and salad we'll be back again five stars five stars they do have a one star because they i know don't have peri perry sauce or something i don't know why they would have kerry perry sauce we've heard amazing things about your shop so muhammad has been running this place for about 12 years i've never been here before but i have heard about it and here's look at look at what is going on over there muhammad is cooking up some incredible kebabs and no doubt a lot of you probably want to come down here and try it out come get one that's all right you're happy for some people to come down and try it out good it's good to have a treat sometimes you know so i'll fix up these too no problem oh stop it is that one that's one yes that's wonderful thank you yes great to meet you thank you very much i think we need to rephrase that unwrapping your banana to unwrapping your kebab look at that dude it's like one of the chunkiest ones i've ever seen in my life he hooked us up oh yes it's gonna be in me all right martin let's do it wow hey crispy so good oh god damn it that's excellent just sort of do with the chopped fingers on his vw golf and so i handed my uh well i can't show you because i just got now but it was a he's just turned off but um yeah just hanging one out the window so that was you in the red golf with the chopped fingers hey bro all right well thank you very much for um for coming with us on this brz journey and um yeah there'll be some mods and stuff happening with that we've got to explore some stuff and do some research but thank you very much no we did research what's that no like research in terms of like whether we can register it or not because we're meant to be able to register it as long as we get the receipts they have the rest but they're in queensland we need to do research on whether it will do a donut we've already done that research yeah but we need to do it again we've done a phd in that phd stands for fat doughnut ph all right so um anyway we're off to um go and have a look at another car but apparently we've run out of youtube we've run out of space so apparently we can't show you\n"
