She suffered more than us. No, she knows. What song is that? Iskimo Jazz. Yep. Oh, no, it wasn't that. Oh, fuck.
What was it? She knows.
It was Smashing Pumpkins. She knows, she knows. She knows. One man's for Collins, there's another man's.
And you've always said that. I almost killed a guy this morning, fellas. I was pulling up to Spaghetti Junction, heavy but easing. And as I was pulling up, so that's one of those intersections where you come off the motorway fucking tonguing, like, you know. I know you. I know you, mate.
What do you mean when you say tonguing in the SWIFT? We're tonguing in the SWIFT.
Swift can move, man. Swift can move. If it's only me in there and I don't have too much stuff in the boot.
I was in the Swift when it went up a minor incline. That's a torque issue, I think. That thing. I think that's a torque issue. You have to ride the clutch up that minor incline.
In our car park, there's a massive ramp to get out on once. In fact, on both sides.
And the one that goes up on a corner as well?

Chapter 3: What driving experiences highlight the challenges of manual cars?
You're toast. You're toast. You're cooked. She's all over. And that happened to me the other day. You're swift toast. You are swift toast. No, so yeah, so I'm tonking along, coming off the motorway. Green light. Green is the day as long. It's one of those ones where as I'm approaching it, it's red. It switches to green. There is no traffic in front of me.
Road conditions?
Damp, it is drizzling. I wouldn't say it's soaking wet out there, but it is damp. The greenest of green lights. In fact, not even any cars coming from the other way either because it's so early in the morning. And... As I'm approaching, I just see the green light of a lime scooter approaching from the right at an incredible pace.
And I don't know what happened, whether he hit something or just jammed the wrong brake on or something. This guy just comes flying over the handlebars of the lime scooter onto the road. Luckily, I was far enough back that it was, like, no dramas to stop. But if I was another, like, 100 meters further down the road, I mean, this guy was toast. He would have been absolutely cooked.
It was one of the most insane. And he had one of those, like, gym bags slung across his shoulder thing. So as he comes over the handlebars, his bag goes flying as well, his jacket's flying. It was absolute madness. And I don't know.
So if you were another, what, 100 metres?
Probably 100 metres further forward.
100 metres closer forward and going maybe another, say, 50 k's an hour. Yeah, well. You would have... I might have hit him. You might have hit him. The other thing about that intersection though, Mania, is that green light is not a long green light. So if you fucking see it, you're like, here we go, I'm on. You boost it. So I reckon 50 metres.
Well, at least you guys, I'm pleased to hear that you're both accelerators of green lights because I've got a real bone to pick with anybody out there who breaks for a green light. And I'm talking to taxi drivers. I'm particularly talking to taxi drivers.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts describe the quirks of driving in a Swift?
For some reason it's a taxi driver issue.
But then they get themselves through, but they leave you not enough time that you can get through if you're behind them.
Actually, I'll tell you what. Since Uber turned up, there's been way less braking for green lights. Yeah. Because that was a real taxi thing. I know what you're saying. If I can just make this light, then I'm going to. Eek out. Whereas with the Uber, it's based on. It's mileage. Yep, mileage. So it doesn't matter. Yeah. It's way better.
It encourages people to actually go through lights, whereas the old system. much like the communist system, encouraged people to essentially try and take a break. Yeah, yeah. Because they got paid more for it.
Yeah, it was a killer. We did a video shoot the other day. The Off The Back Seat, available now on all good social media platforms. With Di Henwood? With Di Henwood, yeah. But we filmed a bunch of those in the same day, and how we filmed those was... there was a car in front of us filming backwards and recording audio and then we would drive the GWM Canon Alpha plug-in hybrid.
But the problem was the girl who was driving it, she would pull up to, we were coming up to an intersection, she'd always in her mind be like, I can get through here. And then she'd get through it and she'd be like, oh shit, that's right, they're following us.
Like her driving brain was, but she wasn't thinking about the fact that we're, and so every single red light, she'd just, and then we're stuck there and it's like,
Hey, is a plug-in hybrid a FIV?
Yes. What?

Chapter 5: What humorous incidents arise from driving manual cars?
I don't know. What's a FIV? Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
P-H-E-V. Oh, fuck. I'm just sitting there going F. A FEV. So a FEV is different than one that just does it while you're driving along.
Yeah.
I like the ones that do it while you're driving along.
Yeah, I know. I don't know what the advantage of the FEV is over just the EV.
It doesn't have the... Oh, because there's the EV. There's the EV that you plug in. Yeah. Plug it. There's a PEV. Oh, yeah. Sorry. What's a PEV? Plug an EV. Okay. Whoa. Yeah. And then there's the, which I think is just an EV. Yeah.
And then there's the, what's the one that's- The hybrid, which is you don't plug it in and it charges while the petrol motor's going.
That's good.
Yeah. I don't know what the advantage of having the plug in. That seems like the worst of both worlds, doesn't it? So you've got to go to the petrol station and you have to charge it?
