[09:40] it still looks cool with this new livery

[09:42] on it and everything it's very nice yeah

[09:44] and what's really cool here is this is

[09:46] the one of one of the twin mill because

[09:48] the twin mill existed in 164th and then

[09:51] kind of pumped it up to this form we're

[09:53] kind of reverse engineering now with the

[09:55] hot wheels legends winner being shrunk

[09:56] down to 164. well see i live in a hilly

[09:59] area so i need that extra engine to kind

[10:01] of get over

[18:21] happy to be here that's great yeah and

[18:23] again content creation how important of

[18:25] a role does that play in our whole

[18:27] automotive kind of world and our whole

[18:29] you know family like i mean i think for

[18:31] me i started off with the whole tuner

[18:33] scene so i think my audience just

[18:35] reaches on the tuner scene so basically

[18:37] i think this is great to kind of show my

[18:39] cuz i posted it right now i was like

[18:41] everyone watch this there's cars i don't

[18:42] even recognize here

[18:44] yeah so they'll see a whole different

[18:45] world and it's just everyone's connected

[18:47] in the world it's all one so that's cool

[18:49] and so coming into leno's garage here

[18:50] you were like what what is that are you

[18:52] asking me questions you know what i'm

[18:53] looking at he was teaching me all day

[18:57] well she's a she's a honda girl right i

[18:59] started off i showed him my honda 600

[19:01] which was honda's first car yeah uh 600

[19:05] cc's i mean the valves look like golf

[19:07] tees little tiny but a hot 9 500 rpm red

[19:10] line in 1964 and i i wanted a driver to

[19:13] get her opinion because she she drives

[19:15] all the modern stuff it'd be fun to hear

[19:17] her uh

[19:18] her viewpoint on the vintage stuff as

[19:20] well well she said she's been talking to

[19:22] you all day i think it's going to take a

[19:23] whole week for you educate her on this

[19:25] and would you would you agree that being

[19:27] a car guy or a car gal car person in

[19:29] general um it's hard to know everything

[19:32] about every single car you're learning

[19:33] something new every day oh yeah of

[19:35] course i mean that's the fun thing about

[19:36] the hobby is it's only about 125 years

[19:39] old so you know if we were studying

[19:41] egyptology

[19:43] we all be covered with sand and dusty

[19:44] and dirty you know but the the whole

[19:46] history of our hobby really only goes

[19:48] back about 125 maybe 150 years at most

[19:51] so there's and there's so much

[19:53] technology the fun part is stuff they

[19:56] had at the beginning

[19:58] it's like there's nothing new they just

[20:00] didn't have the metallurgy or the

[20:01] technology they knew about four vowels

[20:03] and hemi heads but it was hard to

[20:05] implement you know yeah and young people

[20:07] are always amazed when they go back to

[20:08] 1913 pujo twin cam four valve hemi head

[20:13] in 1913. you know that kind of stuff so

[20:15] it's fun to be able to share that

[20:17] knowledge too the progression

[20:18] technology exactly just the advancements

[20:20] and you know here's here yeah you know

[20:22] mr fisker talking about development of

[20:23] his vehicle the ocean price point driven

[20:26] all those things come into effect it's

[21:58] wondering how many tvs can we put in

[21:59] your tvs and your 164. that's my

[22:01] favorite yo dawg i heard you like tvs

[22:03] that's why i put tvs in your tv man i'm

[22:04] gonna put three tvs underneath your tv

[22:08] oh

[22:09] underneath the box

[22:10] yeah so you watch tv while you're

[22:12] watching tv i literally probably quote

[22:13] you a few times a day like just now i'm

[22:15] just just just kidding but uh thank you

[22:17] for joining us mr mad mike i love it all

[22:19] right all right so uh before we get into

[22:21] our final list here's a quick look at

[22:24] our previous legends tour winners as

[22:25] well as this year's tour semifinals that

[22:28] won the respective rounds but

[22:29] unfortunately did not advance to the

[22:31] finals remember it kicked all off in

[22:32] 2018 celebrating 50 years of hot wheels

[22:36] and the winner overall is luis rodriguez

[22:38] that man a smile says it all the two jet

[22:40] zee will give you one guess what engine

[22:42] resides in this open wheel hot rod yeah

[22:44] 2jz get it two jet z looks like a jet

[22:47] has the 2jz engine then moved on to 2019

[22:50] the 57 nash metropolitan greg salzillo

[22:53] and his son

[22:54] smile and happy as can be and then

[22:56] eventually that vehicle got immortalized

[22:58] and there it is the 164th hot wheels die

[23:00] cast then at 2020 we were here just a

[23:03] year ago snoop dogg was jumping for joy

[23:05] fluffy was pumped but riley stare was

[23:07] the most pumped with that 1970 pontiac

[23:10] trans am like i say sponsor me white

[23:11] well it got sponsored by hot wheels

[23:13] pretty much it got endorsed because uh

[23:15] it looks awesome so congratulations now

[23:17] this year's round winners in australia

[23:18] these vehicles did not make it in but

[23:20] they all are definitely touted beautiful

[23:23] looking vehicles the australian round

[23:24] winner the 74 ford escort could do some

[23:26] burnouts and it looks great the 2021

[23:29] miami round 4 winner the 1929 ford model

[23:32] a i really think this thing won because

[23:33] the juxtaposition of what you would

[23:35] normally see in miami great looking

[23:37] vehicle and as we move on

[23:39] to brazil this vehicle is deemed ybl

[23:42] yellow black lethal just an amalgamation

[23:45] of you can see drag car street car this

[23:46] thing is street legal and it's got a

[23:48] parachute up back unfortunately does not

[23:50] advance on but love the vehicle overall

[23:52] and you can talk about juxtaposition we

[23:53] go to detroit motor city the winner in

[23:55] detroit is a 75 opel manta some people

[23:58] have never even seen this vehicle and i

[24:00] think that's again that's why people

[24:01] scratch their heads but overall really

[24:03] cool vehicle it's begging to be driven

[24:05] now uh just most previously a semifinals

[24:08] from chile this vehicle 1947 ford coupe

[24:11] jay ward from pixar a great amount of

[24:12] education information on the history of

[24:15] this particular vehicle now as we go to

[24:17] the lone star state 2021 houston texas

[24:19] round seven winner this is the so

[24:22] sick c6 a great looking car again that

[24:25] sponsor be white big broad arches

[24:27] unfortunately does not move on but again

[24:29] a notable mention this is a vehicle i

[24:31] was talking about a vehicle in japan

[24:33] that's a japanese vehicle but definitely

[24:35] is just absolutely screaming red white

[24:37] and blue so again inspired by a little

[24:38] bit of stock car a little bit of drag

[24:40] car but all unique from japan that

[24:42] cedric 130 and finally in el segundo the

[24:45] glass house 1974 chevy great looking car

[24:49] and really really accumulates all things

[24:51] southern california so really really

[24:54] cool and uh now here are your

[24:56] semifinalists are you guys ready to see

[24:57] your semi-finals

[24:59] right i said are you ready to see them

[25:01] yeah yeah yeah all right i know some

[25:02] people are grabbing their coffee and

[25:03] some people are you know grabbing

[25:05] different beverages but i appreciate you

[25:06] joining us here so uh you know let's

[25:08] walk through again this is just like

[25:09] kind of a quick little teaser of what

[25:11] you're gonna be seeing here today 10

[25:13] vehicles but only one can win you know

[25:15] this is where i talk you know to to our

[25:18] different judges and talking about their

[25:19] kind of forte what vehicles they're into

[25:21] nissan 350z really unique vehicle this

[25:24] car really caught our attention i like

[25:26] it at night but the vehicles here in the

[25:27] building so i really kind of want to

[25:28] scrutinize it more representing mexico

[25:30] this 1990 volkswagen rat rod now yeah 90

[25:35] this iconic beetle the lines obviously

[25:37] been modified really cool car then uh

[25:40] just kind of a mash culture the high

[25:42] class the mercedes-benz gasser don't

[25:44] know what's in the barrel up front but

[25:46] it says high class it's got a great

[25:47] story this car really exudes garage

[25:49] spirit we'll get to the criteria in just

[25:51] a little bit now this vehicle you might

[25:52] need a tetanus shot to drive this thing

[25:54] but it is driven around georgia i know

[25:56] my boy killer mike and rutledge they see

[25:58] this thing rip around georgia and it's

[26:00] really cool

[26:01] you can see mismatching panels but

[26:03] overall that is an absolute hot rod now

[26:05] our new zealand winner this is the third

[26:07] iteration from what i understand of the

[26:09] livery and i think they absolutely

[26:11] nailed it this capella mazda616 what's

[26:14] really cool about this thing is it

[26:15] actually rips up that lead foot festival

[26:18] mountain the malaysia round winner this

[26:20] is a dahatsu mira you might be even

[26:22] wondering what this vehicle is but i

[26:24] think i could stand up in that cabin as

[26:26] more of a six head as opposed to a

[26:27] forehead on that vehicle but love those

[26:28] daihatsu's then our dub round winner was

[26:31] the 2020 lulu this gentleman's retired

[26:33] took him multiple years to make and

[26:35] fabricate this vehicle the vehicle is

[26:37] here and i get to see it and we get to

[26:39] see it for the first time then our uk

[26:41] round winner the volvo p 1800 gas there

[26:44] ain't no saint could send homage to the

[26:46] saint tv show so

[26:47] really cool again the gassers they're

[26:50] they're really getting popular as they

[26:51] have been for multiple years the mobile

[26:53] one fan vote winner i love this car i

[26:55] remember one is in battle the builders

[26:56] at the sema show a few years ago the

[26:58] 1990 porsche 911 baja this vehicle is

[27:01] begging to be absolutely hammered on and

[27:03] i have seen videos of it doing just that

[27:06] and finally our germany round winner our

[27:08] 2018 wengstern uh 14 horsepower

[27:12] i don't know if i could fit in this

[27:13] thing i don't know if we could even move

[27:14] them in that thing but overall some

[27:16] really cool cars would you guys agree

[27:18] yeah all right all right here's our

[27:20] judging criteria there's three overall

[27:22] i'm going to break them down a little

[27:24] bit further for you and this is what all

[27:25] the vehicles have been scrutinized over

[27:27] our past you know since 2018 1920 and

[27:29] now 2021. authenticity

[27:32] creativity and garage spirit what is

[27:34] authenticity well basically you see a

[27:36] vehicle and say that looks like a hot

[27:38] wheels let's shrink that thing down it

[27:39] might be you know hey jay i like that

[27:40] car over there it might be a little

[27:42] expensive for me to to purchase it but

[27:44] at 164th you know that'd be cool a lot

[27:46] cheaper if you crash it you don't have

[27:47] to pay insurance yeah all right so

[27:49] authenticity doesn't look like a hot

[27:50] wheel creativity you have to think hot

[27:52] wheels has created over 25 000 different

[27:55] designs and over i mean how many

[27:57] billions of vehicles 8 billion but who's

[27:59] keeping cal 8 billion vehicles have been

[28:01] made largest automotive manufacturer in

[28:03] the world right so again creativity is

[28:05] looking for something new something we

[28:07] haven't seen or made before you know

[28:09] different engine and a power plant you

[28:10] know a station wagon with this blower

[28:12] and that and all the other things so

[28:13] that's creativity finally garage spirit

[28:16] that's where basically you know

[28:17] unfortunately somebody passed away they

[28:19] carry that torch or just a really cool

[28:21] story about father and son and kids or

[28:23] you know their children working the

[28:24] daughter

[28:25] that's really just that x factor just

[28:27] taking it over the top and saying this

[28:29] car has authenticity creativity and

[28:31] finally garage spirit

[28:34] all right so uh i think it's about that

[28:36] time are we ready to see our first

[28:38] vehicle yeah yeah all right here we go

[28:40] our first vehicle is a 2003 nissan 350z

[28:44] and this is our speed society round

[28:45] winner but before we see the car let's

[28:47] gonna roll in here in just a moment

[28:48] let's hear from the owner ashley

[28:50] robinson

[28:52] hi

[28:53] my name is ashley robinson and the name

[28:55] of my car is merrily

[28:58] merrily is a combination of my name and

[29:00] my girlfriend's name

[29:02] because without her help i would have

[29:04] never gotten this far

[29:10] i found this car wrecked no one wanted

[29:13] it and i had a vision for what this car

[29:16] could become

[29:17] so to be here

[29:18] at this place at this point it's been an

[29:21] amazing process

[29:23] something that

[29:25] i wouldn't i wouldn't trade for anything

[29:31] just thinking about being sharing my car

[29:34] with the entire world there's so many

[29:37] pieces that were handmade by myself that

[29:40] expressed something specific to exactly

[29:43] what i was feeling and looking for in

[29:45] that moment

[29:46] and to be able to share that and people

[29:49] see it and connect with it they already

[29:51] are but on a global scale

[29:54] it would be a drink literally a dream

[29:56] come true

[29:58] you could tell this gentleman's hands on

[29:59] he's in his garage you see the welder

[30:01] back there jay i'm going to you first

[30:03] and foremost what do you think of this z

[30:05] well that's what i love about it we face

[30:06] you the builder not the owner you know

[30:08] you've got a lot of these big concourse

[30:10] and and you wrote to check so yes i

[30:12] bought it in 2015 i sent it to a shop

[30:14] and five years later it's finished but

[30:17] they didn't build it this is the actual

[30:19] hands-on guy and the fact that it's

[30:21] built on a budget like the paint is not

[30:24] perfect that's fine yeah but but the

[30:26] welding is the detail work uh it's

[30:29] really fascinating to me uh it

[30:32] the exoskeleton idea is is really

[30:35] interesting the hand form on those

[30:37] fenders yeah it's it's it's it's

[30:39] different it's unique and you know

[30:42] sometimes not having a lot of money is a

[30:44] great thing because no no because

[30:46] because

[30:47] it's great for creativity

[30:49] no but a great you know it's creativity

[30:51] you're forced to work with what you have

[30:54] and you know i don't think this car

[30:56] would be any better if you gave the guy

[30:57] 10 million to build it because

[30:59] this is his vision of what it is and

[31:01] didn't involve a lot of money it just

[31:03] involved a lot of work and a lot and a

[31:04] lot of imagination what i like is it's

[31:06] zombie with a capital z right because

[31:08] this car

[31:09] rose from the ashes like the phoenix

[31:11] right i'm seeing i want to point out

[31:12] technology to you uh-huh

[31:14] how many tvs it got dawg you see his

[31:16] ipad in the dash i mean the technology

[31:19] in this car is incredible yeah because

[31:21] there's ipad in the dash but

[31:23] it's also got airbags on it and so it's

[31:26] exposed that's what's really cool

[31:27] exactly and you can see what it's doing

[31:29] all right so uh working in the house

[31:30] that hot wheels built or mattel overall

[31:32] but uh what do you what do you think of

[31:34] this vehicle i i i have a special place

[31:36] in my heart i actually owned a 2003

[31:38] black 350z was

[31:41] this i might need to check it

[31:47] there you go this is your car buddy this

[31:48] might be my car

[31:49] yeah

[31:50] half of my body is actually made from

[31:52] steel

[31:53] we were actually uh partners so applying

[31:55] this to 164. yeah i mean this thing is

[31:57] super striking you look at it you're

[31:58] like what is that i think you know we

[32:00] think about what does a vehicle look

[32:01] like not only in one to one but

[32:03] obviously in 164th and this is stunning

[32:05] so to me

[32:06] this is kind of quintessential hot

[32:08] wheels car sarah over to you again just

[32:10] being the import gal kind of the tuner

[32:12] scene i've seen

[32:13] it's been a hype to do a crazy cage set

[32:16] up either in the front or like wrapped

[32:18] around or even this exoskeleton thing is

[32:20] like pretty cool so it will hit this

[32:22] generation's audience

[32:24] um

[32:25] it's pretty gangster i just wish it was

[32:28] a hard gangster coming from a tuner

[32:30] yeah i wish it was static but um

[32:33] i think it's pretty cool

[32:35] as opposed to having bags just it having

[32:37] coils yeah something more race you make

[32:39] it completely gangster okay

[32:41] i mean i don't know if you guys saw that

[32:42] it wasn't unless he has a high driveway

[32:44] or something i would totally so you know

[32:46] you're forgiven but i think they're from

[32:47] the bay area so going up you know what

[32:49] is that what's the the windy street

[32:52] lombard that was yeah lumbar you know so

[32:54] maybe air is needed in the bay area but

[32:56] what i'm seeing here is they're

[32:57] mimicking the lines if you took this big

[32:58] you know gt wing off mimicking that

[33:00] natural 350z and then talk about wing i

[33:03] mean huge wing fan okay i love big wings

[33:06] lemon pepper or what's your wings

[33:10] you're talking about gangster i don't

[33:11] know if you saw this this is like a

[33:13] silence of the lambs up here so

[33:15] uh the headlights what i mean what do

[33:17] you guys think fisker mr fisker you're

[33:19] analyzing this you know what i love

[33:20] about this car is and you know i'm a

[33:22] visual guy and what i love is that most

[33:25] people don't know how complicated

[33:27] vehicles is that just came from the

[33:28] factory seeing this here kind of

[33:31] combined with these beautiful surfaces

[33:33] which is just attached to this

[33:35] complicated structure which engineers

[33:37] have to engineer to make it structural

[33:39] rigid safe and everything else i think

[33:41] this is awesome and i also love the way

[33:43] he put the tail lamp right in the right

[33:45] place and i i love of course the white

[33:46] track awesome you know sits low but i

[33:49] think that's such a great idea to

[33:51] actually put forward the structure in

[33:53] that way it's kind of cool

[33:55] yeah and it's got the uh the extra so

[33:57] here's a little j homage right here you

[33:58] know the external oil cooler that's

[34:00] always cool that's kind of like a one

[34:01] gun style right and the other other cool

[34:04] thing about this is it would make a

[34:06] great toy just having the great color

[34:08] break like that so when you see it on

[34:10] shelf it's not just a red car blue car

[34:12] but it's half black half silver or any

[34:14] two colors that you make it you've got

[34:15] solid you've got exposed

[34:18] you're going to gravitate towards that

[34:19] if you're looking

[34:20] amongst a whole rack of hot wheels cars

[34:22] yeah it's a bold visual statement yeah

[34:23] really cool so again i think there's

[34:25] deco opportunity because again give you

[34:27] a little canvas here so uh there it is

[34:29] the nissan 350z congratulations for just

[34:31] being part of the top ten as we move on

[34:33] to our next car representing mexico the

[34:35] 1990 volkswagen that is owned by

[34:38] christian sariano ledesma vehicle's not

[34:41] here so let's take a look digitally at

[34:43] this vehicle

[34:45] hello my name is

[35:47] you love it obviously the volkswagen bug

[35:49] the peter whatever you want to call it

[35:50] that is all rat rod 1990 because they

[35:53] were reproduced down in mexico what do

[35:55] you what do you think i mean they were

[35:56] making beetles in mexico

[35:58] like

[35:59] until yeah recently yeah exactly last

[36:02] week

[36:03] [Laughter]

[36:05] one's rolling through right now but but

[36:07] what do you what do you make of this

[36:08] round i think it's interesting that he

[36:09] calls it a rat rod because i i think

[36:10] it's actually a really nicely done car i

[36:12] mean the fabrication looks great the

[36:14] matte paint looks really cool um

[36:16] i like that it has sort of a drag race

[36:19] element but it also is talking to

[36:22] like beetle culture with those foot

[36:24] pedals you know the little like foot

[36:25] shaped petals they're like so hippy and

[36:27] funny and the chrome engine in the back

[36:29] and it has an amazing stance like it

[36:31] already looks like a toy because it has

[36:32] the baja bug but it's not obnoxious you

[36:34] know when you get those sometimes those

[36:36] baja bugs they have the negative camber

[36:38] and they're like you know they're

[36:39] squatting and this thing has more

[36:41] because again the hoosiers out back the

[36:42] white walls up front nice stance this i

[36:44] mean your work's already done they're

[36:46] really nice stands and i love the the

[36:47] the right proportions of the lower

[36:50] roof looks really cool yeah i think it's

[36:52] got really good proportions i mean

[36:53] volkswagen beetles and bugs have been in

[36:55] 164th absolutely yeah i mean um anything

[36:58] volkswagen is always huge for us you

[37:00] know um so uh we got a lot of a lot of

[37:03] volkswagen fans uh you know amongst our

[37:05] collectors and so this would obviously

[37:06] be a big hit um i love it myself it's

[37:09] it's really cool the stance like i said

[37:11] and just that squat roof um i love the

[37:14] details too like and just like how he

[37:16] added um you know

[37:18] the the three pedals represent his kids

[37:20] the three kids i think that's really

[37:22] cool yeah check the words on my mouth

[37:23] yeah so three pedals yeah if you re if

[37:25] you read the copy there he says yeah

[37:26] three pedals each foot representing my

[37:28] kids harley-davidson wing mirrors

[37:30] harley-davidson headlights well you know

[37:32] what i love about it it's a mexican car

[37:35] built by a mexican kid using mexican

[37:37] parts it's like it's like what hot

[37:39] rodding used to be right you you grew up

[37:41] in a town you find the nearest junkyard

[37:43] you take parts from that you know i

[37:45] imagine this whole car was probably

[37:47] built with parts in and around where he

[37:49] lives and that's the real spirit of it

[37:52] to me there's nothing expensive looking

[37:54] on this car it all looks like you know a

[37:56] 90 volkswagen it probably was a wrecked

[37:58] car you bought it cheap you took the

[38:00] body yeah i think it's just brilliant i

[38:02] think it's just brand it's classic

[38:04] hot rodding in the sense of you're

[38:06] recycling and you're using old parts you

[38:09] know

[38:10] yeah really neat you took the words in

[38:11] our mouth and i was gonna go back to

[38:13] what's that yeah you like the suicide

[38:14] doors yeah

[38:16] and like you said it adds it adds to the

[38:18] lines exactly he widened that back so

[38:20] jay actually hit on something hot rod

[38:23] now it's a generalized term it used to

[38:24] be kind of synonymous with american

[38:26] muscle all these things hot rodding's

[38:28] now it's really kind of universal would

[38:30] you agree i mean you were an editor and

[38:32] an editor for my favorite thing about um

[38:35] contemporary hot rodding versus kind of

[38:37] this like stricter years of hot rodding

[38:39] i mean i think when i first got into

[38:41] cars there were all these rules like

[38:43] what kind of car can you like and you

[38:44] cannot like any other kind of car and

[38:46] you cannot take anything from any other

[38:47] kind of car but like true hot rodding

[38:49] the very beginning of hot rodding was

[38:51] like jay said it was what is around you

[38:54] make it faster make it cooler make it

[38:56] like prettier or uglier just make it

[38:59] more yeah speaking of uh pretty uh what

[39:01] do you what do you make of this

[39:03] wow i mean look at that hairline dude

[39:06] for speed he showed up and ran through i

[39:08] mimicked my hair today based on that

[39:09] beetle there you go no i i love it i

[39:12] think it's cool i mean everybody touched

[39:13] on on points already so it's it's hard

[39:16] to do that but i mean also a fan of

[39:18] vintage vws i like the throwback to the

[39:20] oval window in the back and of course

[39:21] the suicide doors and stuff like that so

[39:23] seeing those details are really cool

[39:26] uh mike not a lot of technology on here

[39:28] but i think that's pay respect where

[39:30] respect is due yeah especially with that

[39:32] volkswagen look and just the the the

[39:34] chop top and i like i say i love those

[39:36] suicide doors in that is that

[39:38] turbocharger on the back yep i believe

[39:40] so oh

[39:41] yeah that's just so sexy so it's got

[39:43] yeah it's got the power it's got all the

[39:44] cool funky quirks does this transition

[39:46] to 164. the foot pedals unfortunately i

[39:49] don't think we can shrink those things

[39:50] down oh man

[39:52] i think for sure you look at the

[39:53] silhouette of this car and yeah with the

[39:55] passion that it evokes the emotion it

[39:57] for sure feels like high will's car i do

[39:58] want to give a shout out to our fans in

[40:00] mexico i mean really really great

[40:02] engagement a lot of a lot of great stuff

[46:31] all right keep it moving on

[46:32] all right so moving on to our next

[46:34] vehicle this 1968 mercedes-benz 250s

[46:38] this is the throttle round winner this

[46:40] car is on screen but let's hear from the

[46:42] owner has a very endearing story i think

[46:44] this really embodies garage spirit so

[46:46] let's hear from kevin clark

[46:49] hello everyone my name is kevin and i'm

[46:51] the owner operator and builder of high

[46:53] class it is heavily inspired by gassers

[46:55] but it melds a few other styles together

[46:58] i found the perfect candidate a 1968

[47:00] mercedes 250s that was abandoned in a

[47:03] field and after picking it up i put my

[47:05] best friend colby to work and we laid

[47:07] down the basic livery unfortunately not

[47:09] even a week later i received devastating

[47:11] news a drive around a stop sign and

[47:13] colby hit the a-pillar he didn't survive

[47:17] what was once a long-term build

[47:18] immediately turned into a short-term

[47:20] memorial project

[47:22] it was a three-month learning experience

[47:24] using parts from my 73 camaro

[47:27] materials i had lying around and a

[47:29] majority of the work was done outside in

[47:31] the elements despite what the founders

[47:33] say i don't have my own shop

[47:35] the chassis is from the 94 chevy s10 the

[47:38] rear differential is from a junkyard

[47:40] ford explorer and the engine was built

[47:42] by a good friend of mine scott

[47:44] waterfield

[47:45] i can't put into words how much it would

[47:47] mean to have the last project my best

[47:49] friend worked on immortalized as the hot

[47:52] wheels could mean absolutely everything

[47:54] to me

[47:55] thank you so much kevin a great story

[47:56] there high class i'm going to go to a

[47:58] gentleman who has you knew i was coming

[47:59] to you right oh yeah i mean right out of

[48:00] the gate you have a gas to yourself does

[48:02] that really embody the gas or spirit is

[48:04] it kind of his own idea what are your

[48:06] thoughts on high class i would say yes

[48:08] and yes to that um

[48:10] the mercedes is probably the last car

[48:11] you'd ever think of as a gasser and yet

[48:14] he made a killer looking

[48:16] wicked cool gasser out of it you know

[48:18] the story i mean it's it's almost you

[48:20] know brings a tear to my eye really and

[48:22] then just the the passion and just the

[48:24] execution of it is just so cool like

[48:26] seeing that that will just stop

[48:28] everybody in its tracks doesn't matter

[48:30] if you're american

[48:32] foreign whatever cars you love you're

[48:33] like whoa what is that thing yeah and

[48:36] it's it's just amazing i mean i love it

[48:37] it's got attitude it's got stance it's

[48:39] got presence

[48:40] uh you see what it is you know what it

[48:42] is you know what it's going to do

[48:44] and

[48:45] yeah yeah elaine i'm good with you

[48:46] because this kind of feeds off of our

[48:48] conversation about hot rods taking all

[48:50] these components found the story

[48:52] included all of that high class is is

[48:55] this the hot wheels legends winner 2021

[48:58] well i think that the story really is

[49:00] something where a lot of times people

[49:02] are like why do people like cars it's

[49:04] just a machine it's just a tool like a

[49:06] you know toaster or something but the

[49:08] thing is is that most people's cars do

[49:10] have a connection to another person in

[49:13] them you know it it hopefully isn't

[49:15] always such a sad story i mean it's

[49:17] terrible to lose a friend but as long as

[49:19] he has this car and the whole time that

[49:20] he was building this car it's like his

[49:22] friend was with him and i think that

[49:23] that is something that people don't

[49:25] understand about car collecting it's not

[49:26] just a machine it's everyone who you've

[49:29] ever thought about talked about it with

[49:31] worked on it with yeah that's really

[49:33] cool mike what do you think of this uh

[49:35] the back story is incredible um i'm

[49:38] sorry about the accident um there's a

[49:40] lot going on in this car man i mean just

[49:42] confusion just give you a headache it

[49:44] just speaks like uh i was out in the

[49:47] backyard and i saw this and i saw that

[49:49] and i put it on this car what's the

[49:50] thing in the front that's uh it's like a

[49:52] little barrel you know like the saint

[49:54] bernard dogs that would rescue people

[49:55] from falls you know like i feel like

[49:57] it's like a skiing rescue thing there's

[49:59] a lot

[50:00] well they're from canada it's got i

[50:01] think colorado plates there's that but

[50:03] also like the old gasser and drought

[50:05] cars in general would have a small fuel

[50:07] tank up front so that's probably

[50:08] representative of that ted wu i know

[50:10] you're into porsches are you into

[50:11] mercedes-benz gassers

[50:13] i love this car i think it's hilarious

[50:15] though that mad mike thinks that there's

[50:17] too much in this car

[50:19] the man the man who put a chandelier in

[50:22] a car

[50:24] but yeah i mean if you look at it again

[50:27] silhouette it looks like a hot wheels

[50:28] vehicle and in the definition of built

[50:30] not bought you know i think this being a

[50:32] private car

[50:33] that really has obviously some passion

[50:35] enthusiasm behind it the story is

[50:37] amazing um yeah i mean it's a great

[50:39] build brian what do you think i said

[50:41] yeah

[50:42] you kind of want to chirp in

[50:44] this is one that i'm particularly drawn

[50:45] to you know i i think like like brendan

[50:47] said it's an unexpected body on a gasser

[50:51] theme you know so i really appreciate

[50:53] that and you know and i was talking

[50:54] before about you know you want that

[50:56] something that's visually striking and i

[50:58] think it really stands out just

[51:00] that that stance and proportion and

[51:02] everything and you just don't expect a

[51:03] mercedes like that and rick does this

[51:05] car offend you or excite you you're not

[51:07] lived in germany for many years so uh

[51:09] i'm familiar with a lot of these cars

[51:10] but one thing i will say he might have a

[51:12] little bit of a future vision there

[51:14] all cars are getting higher these days

[51:16] and i bet you

[51:17] that car can go through deep water

[51:19] better than a modern hundred thousand

[51:21] dollar issue

[51:24] high class it's just got mud all over it

[51:25] so it's awesome sarah what do you think

[51:27] of this i mean i when i saw this car i

[51:30] was like wow this is this might trigger

[51:32] like og like vintage mercedes-benz

[51:39] you can tell a person's personality by

[51:40] the way there's taste and the way they

[51:42] mod the cars and this guy and his friend

[51:44] inspired by his friend they didn't care

[51:45] what people would think and it's for a

[51:48] reason they made it up to the finalists

[51:49] so i think i can see it definitely as a

[51:52] they did something different because

[51:53] it's been a car that's been around

[51:55] generations everyone's done something

[51:57] some way so they were totally different

[51:58] we're going to do something different

[52:00] yeah i think they achieved that awesome

[52:02] is that a rolls-royce emblem on the

[52:05] front grill i think it is i think it is

[52:06] the flying right

[52:08] well you know i i wouldn't

[52:10] i wish it had been all mercedes i wish

[52:12] it was a mercedes gasser like a 6.3

[52:15] engine okay that you build so it so the

[52:17] theme sort of

[52:19] flows through you know yeah

[52:21] yeah but it's uh you know i look at a

[52:24] car like that and go oh i could restore

[52:25] that yeah

[52:27] well that's what i was gonna say is a

[52:28] surprise jay that car came from your

[52:30] fleet and that's your actual

[52:32] car yeah that's your car

[52:35] but i like you say i mean that's a

[52:37] classic example like yeah i did an

[52:39] interview this morning prior to this why

[52:41] do you like cars i like cars with a

[52:42] story and when you know the story then

[52:45] it really makes oh that's why you did

[52:47] well that's the there's a reason for

[52:49] everything so that's what makes it

[52:51] compelling and that it changes your

[52:53] whole look and feel about it once you

[52:55] hear the story yeah yeah you're kind of

[52:56] like i don't know and then you're oh i'm

[52:57] sorry my bad yeah that car is kind of

[52:59] cool now i like it all right well thank

[53:01] you guys and gals for uh your feedback

[53:03] there on high class next up we move to

[53:06] the 1969 daytona charger superbird cars

[53:09] in the building watch out again might

[53:12] need your tetanus shot here this is our

[53:13] road and track round winner let's hear

[53:15] from the owner christopher palmer

[53:20] hi my name is chris palmer and i am the

[53:22] owner of scraptona it is a

[53:25] rolling piece of art that literally came

[53:28] together

[53:29] in all the colors it was found and now

[53:31] it actually looks like a living

[53:32] character from the movie cars

[53:34] there are so many unique features to

[53:36] this car i wouldn't even know where to

[53:37] begin from the wide body

[53:40] to the flared out front fenders

[53:42] to

[53:43] simply a shell being skinned on top of a

[53:45] hand built chassis with a

[53:48] 740 horsepower nascar motor stuffed into

[53:51] it with 12 inch wide wheels custom-made

[53:54] wi-fi's and 15 inch wide tires front and

[53:57] rear the car is actually a 69 shell

[54:00] with coronet front fenders and a super

[54:03] bird nose

[54:04] what would it mean to me to have this

[54:05] car become a hot wheels i'd be

[54:09] amazing

[54:10] especially since i'm a

[54:12] toy

[54:14] collector hot wheels collector it'd be

[54:17] amazing it'd be a once in a lifetime

[54:19] type situation

[54:21] when you look at this car this this does

[54:23] scream hot wheels right i mean benedict

[54:25] i mean it's got a hot wheels logo on it

[54:26] so it does oh wow yeah well he's like

[54:28] here's five bucks too like there's a

[54:30] five dollar bill says brian on it

[54:33] jay i know when you first saw this car

[54:34] you were wondering

[54:35] is it is it this is it that daytona

[54:38] charger super like well i think it's

[54:39] definitely a hot wheels car yeah and it

[54:42] does have that look of

[54:44] uh

[54:45] you know the

[54:46] the two guys from uh from dukes of

[54:48] hazzard decided to build another car you

[54:50] know mean i i mean i love the that it's

[54:53] not all polished and it's

[54:55] not one color i mean i i love this sort

[54:58] of

[54:59] let's uh you know it reminds me of kind

[55:01] of like the rum runners okay if this was

[55:03] a decade or two earlier this is what

[55:05] you'd be running the hills of north

[55:07] carolina with a big tank full of

[55:09] moonshine running until the end of time

[55:11] but in terms of having a hot wheels look

[55:14] and it's easily identifiable and it's

[55:17] got so much visual thing so many places

[55:19] to look and your eyes settle and read

[55:21] and the doors are different color so

[55:23] it's a fascinating vehicle yeah yeah the

[55:25] iconic wing the lines of it i mean all

[55:27] of it uh i think when you open the door

[55:29] it has a waylon jennings soundtrack that

[55:30] plays yeah oh yeah that's a deep cut is

[55:32] mike installing a tv right now

[55:34] relax bro it has gps in it so um

[55:40] i'm making love to it okay all right

[55:42] he's gonna get after it uh i mean

[55:45] what do you think well i

[55:47] i've always been a fan of the second gen

[55:49] bee body just for the obvious reasons of

[55:51] tv and movie influences young kid

[55:53] and just seeing this is is really cool

[55:56] it is interesting that it does have a

[55:57] mix of both super bird and daytona parts

[55:59] because they everyone knows they are

[56:01] different and uh it's just neat seeing

[56:03] them kind of mashed up like that

[56:05] uh love the stance the wide body and the

[56:07] fact that

[56:08] hey this shows me i can build a charger

[56:10] for like

[56:11] not you know selling my house yeah

[56:14] yeah exactly right and just throw it

[56:16] together so what's a good i was just

[56:17] gonna say i love how he drive actually

[56:19] drives it around yeah

[56:20] yeah yeah like i said killer mike and

[56:22] rutledge they've seen this car uh

[56:23] picking up some barbecue around the

[56:25] corner uh 740 horsepower

[56:27] this thing's a beast i mean

[56:29] what stands out to me though is is is

[56:31] what i think uh mad mike and henrik are

[56:34] looking at which is just the visual

[56:35] interest of the car right he didn't try

[56:37] to you know smooth over all the panels

[56:39] you can see where he's bolting things

[56:40] together it's a really i mean you could

[56:42] spend hours looking at this car i think

[56:44] it's a really really visually cool car

[56:46] again what we're looking for on hot

[56:47] wheels so henrik i see you out front you

[56:49] know i think that it's got a really good

[56:51] proportion the way it's lowered down and

[56:53] just got that kind of dream proportion

[56:55] that every designer want i think what's

[56:57] interesting is actually this idea of

[56:59] just having all these different parts

[57:00] put on exactly the way he found them and

[57:03] it's i'm amazed that it actually fits

[57:04] that well yeah honestly because it sort

[57:07] of fits yeah pretty good yeah

[57:10] like you i mean you see you see the you

[57:11] know it's it's a popular word that the

[57:13] cancer here you know you're seeing some

[57:15] bondo though

[57:17] it

[57:17] what's really cool is sometimes when a

[57:19] when you see it from the side it doesn't

[57:21] look like it's bulbous this car actually

[57:23] still adheres to the lines of the

[57:25] fenders right so if you just look at it

[57:26] straight on but then you go here oh yeah

[57:29] it's wide body and like you said the

[57:30] oversized cartoony caricature offset

[57:33] here like just with the rims and the

[57:34] wheels would you agree oh yeah i mean it

[57:37] sits great it looks good in profile i

[57:40] mean

[57:40] any wing car looks good in profile no

[57:42] matter what you do to them i don't i

[57:44] mean they're so wild looking to begin

[57:46] with like from the factory that you can

[57:48] you can't really mess them up i mean

[57:50] some people might say you'd mess this up

[57:52] but it's hilarious that it's both

[57:54] daytona and superbird you know when you

[57:56] first read it out i was like oh somebody

[57:57] don't even know what kind of car they

[57:58] have but no it's actually both cars it

[58:00] is both cars and um i i don't know if

[58:04] anybody has heard this car run but if

[58:06] there was a category for like best

[58:09] sounding okay car in the competition

[58:11] it's between this and one of the other

[58:12] ones that's coming up i like that nice

[58:14] tv well you know

[58:15] dolly parton had a quote i would

[58:17] attribute to this car there we go it

[58:19] takes a lot of money to look this cheap

[58:22] you know like hey kevin says he's amazed

[58:25] at how everything fits but but it

[58:27] probably took a lot of work to get it to

[58:28] fit that badly that good you know what i

[58:31] mean yeah

[58:32] no but i'm not giving this i'm being a

[58:34] white guy i mean i mean it is because

[58:36] you realize to get that look of boy

[58:39] that's really crap and then you look

[58:40] carefully go oh no a lot of work went

[58:42] into this it's supposed to look like

[58:45] that so it takes a lot of money to look

[58:47] that cheap

[58:48] great absolutely great quote there you

[58:50] go so uh thank you judges and i you know

[58:53] normally the the dukes of hazard has

[58:55] obviously the different flag up here

[58:56] what what country is this is this

[58:58] scottish what what does everybody know

[58:59] what flag this is the white with the red

[59:01] regardless moving on i don't know if a

[59:02] helicopter is gonna land on yeah i don't

[59:03] think it's i don't think it's scotland

[59:06] i don't know what it is and somebody

[59:08] figure it out go ahead and google it all

[59:09] right so let's move on to our fifth

[59:11] entry representing new zealand the whanu

[59:14] absolutely love that country and uh mad

[59:15] mike was our international judge shout

[59:17] out to my boy matt mike not you mad mike

[59:19] this is the other one yeah there's

[59:20] there's multiple mad mics

[59:23] yeah all right so our fifth submission

[59:25] here from new zealand is the mazda616

[59:28] capella owned by mark strawbridge let's

[59:31] hear from mark

[59:34] what's up legends my name is mark

[59:35] strawbridge and i'm the owner of the

[59:37] 1973 mazda 616 capella aka the myth one

[59:41] six

[59:43] if i had to define my build i'd call it

[59:45] a tribute to those that pioneered the

[59:47] mighty rotary it's not paired correct

[59:49] but we built it the way they did the

[59:51] similar parts they did but more

[59:52] importantly it's driven the way they did

[59:55] with the help of close mates we

[59:56] transformed the car first into a

[59:58] streetcar themed as a japanese police

[1:00:00] car then ultimately into the circuit

[1:00:02] racer you see today that build saw the

[1:00:04] period style roll cage custom work

[1:00:07] wheels and fresh 12app

[1:00:09] since then we've continued to make

[1:00:11] tweaks in the name of speed this is the

[1:00:13] third set of graphics to be laid over

[1:00:15] the original patina but inside and

[1:00:17] underneath it's highly detailed

[1:00:19] to have my car immortalized as a hot

[1:00:21] wheels diecast model would be insane it

[1:00:24] would be a dream ending to this amazing

[1:00:27] journey my one-year-old son hayes will

[1:00:29] then be able to play with a toy version

[1:00:31] of his dad's favorite car making all the

[1:00:34] rap sounds all day

[1:00:35] every day

[1:00:37] i mean this this car looks good and it

[1:00:39] performs even better like i said i i

[1:00:41] love new zealand i have multiple friends

[1:00:42] down there the fanu that's uh maori for

[1:00:45] uh family but uh sarah i'm gonna go to

[1:00:47] you your import gal you have fdr x7 have

[1:00:49] you ever seen a 616 capella no not in

[1:00:52] person but i love that thing yeah yeah

[1:00:55] i mean like for a new zealand guy too he

[1:00:57] understands completely the jdm culture

[1:01:00] and he just knew how to like

[1:01:02] just do everything i love this

[1:01:04] i love this car monsters and rotaries

[1:01:06] are really popular in australia and new

[1:01:07] zealand so rightfully so but this this

[1:01:10] capella i think with the you know like

[1:01:12] you said it has that jdm flare and

[1:01:13] speaking of flares the unpainted flares

[1:01:15] is kind of jdm yes and he had he was

[1:01:18] gangster enough to even touch the body

[1:01:20] of that car to put the over fenders on

[1:01:22] so i think

[1:01:23] i just love this car um yeah uh going

[1:01:26] over to you this pays tribute to the 70s

[1:01:28] mazda factory racers like the like racer

[1:01:31] yoshima katayama so again that history

[1:01:34] runs deep there is this your legends

[1:01:36] 2021 winner

[1:01:38] it certainly could be i mean yeah giving

[1:01:40] a nod to sort of the the japan touring

[1:01:42] car uh championship racing i think the

[1:01:44] um delivery is super interesting from

[1:01:47] from a hot wheels standpoint you know

[1:01:48] we've done the rx3 uh haven't done this

[1:01:50] body yet um but a lot of popularity with

[1:01:53] that casting so this is definitely in

[1:01:55] line with uh with what our fans like and

[1:01:57] that's it's great because it's

[1:01:58] international submission but it's a jdm

[1:02:00] car right and that's what you're talking

[1:02:02] earlier i mean this sort of great

[1:02:04] mixing of cultures and sort of

[1:02:06] perspectives is what makes kind of uh

[1:02:08] this car great and all these cars great

[1:02:10] yeah

[1:02:11] i've got a question for you is there a

[1:02:12] way that you can make the hot wheels

[1:02:14] make noise because i mentioned that

[1:02:17] there was another car that was

[1:02:18] incredible sounding and this one

[1:02:21] i mean this guy's neighbors know every

[1:02:23] time he starts that up for like 15 miles

[1:02:27] yup the brap uh jay are you are you a

[1:02:29] mazda guy i i'm a monster guy i have a

[1:02:32] cosmo i've got a mazda rx8 you know what

[1:02:34] i love about it i love it it's so

[1:02:36] completely opposite of what americans

[1:02:38] are doing it's like i love when i go to

[1:02:40] england i've got a capri it's got the

[1:02:42] big block v6 well there's no big black

[1:02:44] v6

[1:02:46] but to them anything past anything past

[1:02:48] 2.5 liter might as well be a 426 hemi

[1:02:51] you know

[1:02:52] and that's what i like it's just a

[1:02:54] different way of

[1:02:56] coming to the same answer

[1:02:59] we ask the question everybody has a

[1:03:00] different solution but the same answer

[1:03:02] is different fast

[1:03:05] interesting you know and that's what i

[1:03:06] like it's classically

[1:03:08] there's nothing american at all about it

[1:03:11] but somehow it is you know it's a

[1:03:13] different interpretation of it yeah and

[1:03:15] i i find that really fascinating it's

[1:03:17] like

[1:03:17] when you order pizza it's got pineapple

[1:03:19] and ham on it what

[1:03:22] triggered man mike's triggered that's

[1:03:24] why he's mad yeah

[1:03:28] [Laughter]

[1:03:40] is really cool is that it's actually a

[1:03:41] relatively sedate sedan right there's

[1:03:45] it's a very normal vehicle and he's

[1:03:47] mastered to get this thing look super

[1:03:50] powerful and wild and given a whole

[1:03:52] different

[1:03:53] feel to it i mean that thing just looks

[1:03:55] mean i mean you don't want to see that

[1:03:56] thing in the rearview mirror yeah mark

[1:03:58] strawbridge he talks about it but again

[1:04:00] there it is ripping who's familiar with

[1:04:01] the lead foot festival either fans

[1:04:03] watching at home or i mean lead foot

[1:04:04] festival that's that's absolutely

[1:04:05] awesome rod millen's event and i mean

[1:04:07] just all those events in new zealand

[1:04:09] they love matt they do skids they have

[1:04:11] skid competitions have you ever been to

[1:04:13] one of those brendan i have not been i

[1:04:15] know about them i want to drive that car

[1:04:17] yeah i mean that that thing is cool yeah

[1:04:19] and another thing to his credit he's

[1:04:21] made a four-door car cool i mean you

[1:04:23] know you talk about rules of hot rods it

[1:04:25] for so many years no four-door cars yeah

[1:04:28] that's that's just cool no it's uh and

[1:04:30] and mr benedict what do you think yeah i

[1:04:32] mean again i love the stance it just it

[1:04:34] sits just right you know and it's

[1:04:36] purpose-built and i think that's just

[1:04:37] awesome the the pain tribute to the old

[1:04:40] factory racers of the 70s is such a cool

[1:04:43] idea uh so mike no pine or you love

[1:04:45] pineapple i love pineapple but i'm what

[1:04:47] i've figured out this whole time

[1:04:49] does anybody else see that there's two

[1:04:51] headlights on one side and one on the

[1:04:53] other yeah what is that sarah maybe you

[1:04:55] could kind of anybody touch on that

[1:04:57] there's two headlights one headlight

[1:04:58] intake or is it oil cooler or

[1:05:01] again that's going around i got to see

[1:05:03] it i thought it was so unique

[1:05:05] they keep spinning it i can't yeah well

[1:05:07] they did that in the 60s with the ford

[1:05:09] thunderbolt and a few other cars

[1:05:11] that were that was fairly common so i

[1:05:13] think it's probably an intake

[1:05:15] very much very cool car the e6 uh the

[1:05:18] capella there as uh here's our runner

[1:05:20] show we're uh halfway through as we've

[1:05:23] seen five vehicles this is our runner

[1:05:24] show and this is how it's going and

[1:05:25] break it down up next jay leno's diecast

[1:05:28] for all you collectors out there and

[1:05:29] that's why you're watching we're gonna

[1:05:30] learn about this brand new product and

[1:05:32] project jay leno diecast we'll see our

[1:05:34] finals cars part three finals cars part

[1:05:37] four

[1:05:38] our judges picks

[1:05:39] and then jay gets to pick one because

[1:05:41] this is his house this is his clubhouse

[1:05:43] and then finally we will crown and

[1:05:45] announce our 2021 hot wheels legends

[1:05:49] finale winner and who will be

[1:05:50] immortalized as a 164th diecast so brian

[1:05:55] yeah we have a new collection i'm going

[1:05:56] to grab a seat if you want to jump up

[1:05:58] here as well or however you want to see

[1:06:00] fit but

[1:06:01] it's a jay leno collection what's really

[1:06:03] cool here jay as we pivot around and

[1:06:06] this is just a small small assortment of

[1:06:08] what's going to what's going to be what

[1:06:10] we'll be uh introducing next year but um

[1:06:12] yeah

[1:06:13] we're pleased to announce that we're

[1:06:14] doing a whole jay leno's garage

[1:06:17] collection yeah we've been working very

[1:06:19] closely together on this so yeah so

[1:06:21] we're doing a whole series of his cars

[1:06:23] from his garage

[1:06:24] in the car culture line as well as in

[1:06:27] our

[1:06:28] premium entertainment assortment so

[1:06:30] here's one of the cars you see there

[1:06:31] that's probably one of the most iconic

[1:06:33] cars you know the fun part about this is

[1:06:34] they brought initially i think tomato

[1:06:37] that's fine and they would go no no no

[1:06:39] see we didn't have this little piece

[1:06:40] here we gotta i go i didn't even notice

[1:06:42] that so i mean to me it looked fine

[1:06:46] but yeah yeah but

[1:06:48] so you know because when i was a kid you

[1:06:49] put m80s in them and you blow them up

[1:06:52] you know so but to me the attention to

[1:06:54] detail is that is that tiny j right

[1:06:58] there that's

[1:07:03] the really cool part is they've got the

[1:07:04] right number of fins on the cylinder i

[1:07:06] mean everything yeah so you were you

[1:07:08] were part of the details yeah and jay

[1:07:10] was so helpful along the way i mean like

[1:07:12] uh he actually pulled out his uh belly

[1:07:14] pans um so that i could get he got good

[1:07:16] shots of those for me so i can make sure

[1:07:18] that like i drive it around without the

[1:07:19] belly pants just because with belly

[1:07:22] pants catch fluid and if you have a fire

[1:07:24] poof you've got a bomb you know so i

[1:07:26] take them they go no we got to put the

[1:07:27] belly pan so i i went up in the in the

[1:07:29] attic here in the garage and pulled out

[1:07:31] the belly pan we put that to work yeah

[1:07:33] i'm thinking guys it's good enough

[1:07:35] really don't worry about it so the

[1:07:36] jaylin collection we have just a small

[1:07:38] assortment here and these are these i

[1:07:40] mean what's the whole process real quick

[1:07:41] here but i think it's really so what

[1:07:43] you're looking at here are our 3d prints

[1:07:45] and at various stages actually so uh

[1:07:47] this one uh is the most recent um that

[1:07:50] we just reviewed and and

[1:07:52] got sculpt approval on

[1:07:54] the echo jet uh this is a solid model so

[1:07:56] this is kind of before we turn it over

[1:07:58] to our engineering partners and and part

[1:08:00] it out and everything like these two are

[1:08:02] parted out right so these

[1:08:03] are final um

[1:08:06] patterns these are these are the actual

[1:08:07] patterns that that will be tooled up and

[1:08:10] used so cool um yeah the 3d printing is

[1:08:12] amazing now i mean we can print any

[1:08:14] color we want so i try to print it in

[1:08:15] the colors that the cars are and so you

[1:08:17] get a real sense of what it's going to

[1:08:18] look and what i think is really cool i

[1:08:19] touched on earlier is you know the this

[1:08:21] car there's only one of one in the world

[1:08:24] this echo echo jet right right it's

[1:08:25] called it's here in the building right

[1:08:27] you only you only own the real one but

[1:08:29] now everybody can own one yeah no that's

[1:08:31] it's fantastic it's really good and this

[1:08:34] car this car one what what kind of

[1:08:36] accolades this vehicle i've got hot rod

[1:10:56] right and and just think about it on

[1:10:58] that wall

[1:10:59] i could possibly put a 65-inch

[1:11:02] not one but two 65-inches

[1:11:05] man it's just an incredible build i just

[1:11:08] i love the vehicle right he did a great

[1:11:10] job on it i love the colors have you

[1:11:12] ever done a hatsu mira we have not but

[1:11:14] we uh this is not the first one we've

[1:11:16] seen entered into the legends tour but

[1:11:18] um but this one's really really nice i i

[1:11:20] like the approach for you know first of

[1:11:22] all shout out to our friends in malaysia

[1:11:24] huge collector can be there for hot

[1:11:25] wheels so so we see you thank you um

[1:11:28] this is one where i feel like he's

[1:11:30] really embraced over the whimsicalness

[1:11:31] of the car itself i mean it just he's

[1:11:33] played that up he's got the fun ladder

[1:11:34] he's got the roof rack the sort of

[1:11:36] lights on the roof rack it's it feels

[1:11:38] like a really fun car i i can't help but

[1:11:40] think of uh late legendary designer

[1:11:42] riusada from our team he would have

[1:11:44] loved this car kind of has that sort of

[1:11:46] uh nope or tuned aesthetic that he's

[1:11:48] known for so uh yeah i mean great great

[1:11:51] one right here and again i think riya

[1:11:52] would have loved this one jay you were

[1:11:54] asking this did he modify i like kind of

[1:11:56] stumping you a little bit i didn't know

[1:11:57] i don't know you know the fun part about

[1:11:59] this when i saw his face and he was

[1:12:01] talking i don't speak malaysian i don't

[1:12:03] understand malaysian but i knew exactly

[1:12:05] what he was saying you know i'm saying

[1:12:07] my life to communication if i met that

[1:12:08] guy in the street i almost feel like i

[1:12:10] could convey my thoughts to him and him

[1:12:12] to me even though we don't speak he

[1:12:14] probably speaks english but you know so

[1:12:16] that's what i found fascinating the look

[1:12:18] on his face he just looked like every

[1:12:21] car guy you ever meet the enthusiasm the

[1:12:23] excitement and that's what really makes

[1:12:25] the the

[1:12:26] the hobby fun and that's what i always

[1:12:28] say if you don't know anything about the

[1:12:29] car find the owner and ask them about it

[1:12:30] they'll chew your ear off forever right

[1:12:32] elena like what do you what do you think

[1:12:34] of the daihatu mira and again just the

[1:12:36] the mash well first of all my sister's

[1:12:37] name is mira so i automatically like it

[1:12:39] shout out to my sis she's rad um but

[1:12:42] also

[1:12:43] any

[1:12:44] any like k vehicle or variant i'm like

[1:12:47] super pro like tiny tiny cars and tiny

[1:12:49] trucks i know everyone thinks of me as a

[1:12:51] muscle car person but i own an opel gt

[1:12:53] okay so i'm into tiny cars and uh tiny

[1:12:56] trucks and tiny vans are even better

[1:12:58] than tiny cars because they're that much

[1:13:00] more shocking baby car

[1:13:04] yeah i i think that hatsu is really cool

[1:13:05] has that jdm i know my boys at lean

[1:13:07] customs they've uh they've done some

[1:13:09] cool stuff with their daihatsu mira and

[1:13:11] again this is it's not just the kind of

[1:13:14] full oe sarah what do you what do you

[1:13:15] think of the vehicle so i used to live

[1:13:17] in japan for a handful of months and

[1:13:19] there's a lot of different type of

[1:13:20] dioxins but this is like a og and it's

[1:13:23] that van mira van so it's a pretty rare

[1:13:26] daihatsu that people in japan especially

[1:13:28] would scream over and so

[1:13:30] the color is so popping great i can

[1:13:32] definitely see it as a hot wheel car

[1:13:34] it's also a rare car it's a diat suit

[1:13:36] everyone loves diapers they try to ship

[1:13:37] it here in america so they're pretty

[1:13:39] popular yeah they're really cool like

[1:13:41] the steel wheels kind of americana vibe

[1:13:43] well you know the int that would

[1:13:45] interior something that you know

[1:13:47] designers have been trying to do in show

[1:13:49] cars for years and he actually built it

[1:13:50] which is pretty amazing

[1:13:52] and also what's amazing is it it looks

[1:13:54] super tall i bet you could stand in it

[1:13:57] and being able to make such a narrow

[1:13:59] tall car look fairly stable is pretty

[1:14:02] cool so he widened out the track and it

[1:14:05] just got that feel that

[1:14:07] it may tip over but maybe not

[1:14:09] i like the roof rack too it's kind of

[1:14:11] got a surf wagon vibe yeah obviously

[1:14:13] with the big daddy roth i love i love

[1:14:15] how he took something you know kind of

[1:14:16] mundane and practical like a delivery

[1:14:17] van and and made it into something fun

[1:14:20] and

[1:14:20] and exciting you know uh the stance

[1:14:22] again is just awesome and and

[1:14:25] the detailing and

[1:14:26] like matt mike was saying you know like

[1:14:28] the the sort of reference to us you know

[1:14:31] american hot rod culture is is really

[1:14:33] cool

[1:14:34] and and to your point again malaysia

[1:14:36] great diecast collector and community

[1:14:37] they always watch they always tune in

[1:14:39] they love automotive culture down in

[1:14:41] malaysia and in southeast asia in

[1:14:42] general singapore malaysia indonesia

[1:14:43] thailand

[1:14:44] definitely yeah yeah absolutely i mean

[1:14:46] big part of our fan base and and uh we

[1:14:48] thank you guys thank you so much there

[1:14:50] you go all right let's move on to our

[1:14:51] seventh submission here this was our dub

[1:14:54] round winner and i love this vehicle

[1:14:56] this gentleman's been working on this

[1:14:57] vehicle for multiple years it's his

[1:14:58] dream vehicle and it's here in the

[1:15:00] building so we can see it in the shiny

[1:15:02] metal that is the 2020 lulu and let's

[1:15:05] hear from the owner mr paul a i believe

[1:15:08] it's pronounced kalanian here you go

[1:15:09] paul

[1:15:11] good morning i'm paul kalanian and this

[1:15:14] is lulu my all-aluminum two-seat sport

[1:15:17] car

[1:15:18] that i built here in my shop

[1:15:20] i utilize my father's lathe milling

[1:15:24] machine and skills he taught me as a

[1:15:26] child

[1:15:27] to build this car

[1:15:29] i wanted to build something that was

[1:15:30] very light very low and powerful and i

[1:15:34] remembered mickey thompson's

[1:15:36] harvey aluminum special

[1:15:38] which acted as my inspiration to build

[1:15:41] this car

[1:15:42] the car is cut from 6061 aluminum panels

[1:15:46] that were water jet cut

[1:15:48] and heliarc welded here in the shop

[1:15:51] to form a very strong monocoque and

[1:15:54] bulkhead

[1:15:55] chassis

[1:15:57] i really hope that lulu

[1:15:59] will be immortalized by winning this

[1:16:01] year's top wheels contest

[1:16:04] she will serve to inspire generations

[1:16:06] children

[1:16:07] to dream their dreams and go ahead and

[1:16:10] build them

[1:16:11] as i did here with lulu

[1:16:14] lulu and i thank you very much for this

[1:16:16] opportunity

[1:16:18] jay i see you looking at me you're

[1:16:19] giving you're like

[1:16:20] me first me first well he's got the

[1:16:22] right color hair first of all

[1:16:25] because i believe old age and treachery

[1:16:27] always beats youth and inexperience yeah

[1:16:30] but the thing i love about this is

[1:16:33] it's a real car i like the pagani style

[1:16:35] mirrors on it the i like the fact

[1:16:38] i think just probably any car we've seen

[1:16:40] if you had to drive from here to chicago

[1:16:42] you could do it in this one i mean it

[1:16:44] looks like it handles it looks like it's

[1:16:46] fast and the metal work is unbelievable

[1:16:49] look at those panels the fact that

[1:16:51] they're not all scratched from you know

[1:16:53] missing a rivet or a screw i mean it's

[1:16:56] pretty amazing i i

[1:16:58] look at the suspension the uprights

[1:17:00] there's a lot of engineering and thought

[1:17:02] went into this i love the fact that i

[1:17:04] can the whole engine is visual here i

[1:17:06] love that it's not a big v8 it's a light

[1:17:09] car it's a small car it's got a a

[1:17:12] smaller what's that 2.5 liter they're

[1:17:14] saying two liters so it's a gm ltg two

[1:17:15] liter oh okay yeah turbo four yeah yeah

[1:17:17] i mean it's a pre-motor yeah i think

[1:17:20] it's i think it's really fantastic and

[1:17:22] just

[1:17:23] just these panels look how they all fit

[1:17:25] it's amazing i mean every screw head

[1:17:28] lines up they're exactly the exact

[1:17:30] distance apart i mean this is built by a

[1:17:33] watchmaker right you know this is a guy

[1:17:35] who could take a watch apart and put it

[1:17:37] back together and the detail i mean this

[1:17:40] here this just reminds me of horatio

[1:17:42] pagani yeah exactly

[1:17:44] the big eyelashes he calls it exactly

[1:17:46] there's nothing that's not it's all in

[1:17:48] perfect scale i mean

[1:17:51] any person could drive it

[1:17:53] it looks comfortable it looks fun with

[1:17:55] the brooklyn's type screens uh i i think

[1:17:58] it's just uh just almost fiera the body

[1:18:01] looks like the front end looks almost

[1:18:03] yeah i mean

[1:18:04] the wheels everything is i think it's uh

[1:18:08] i think it's probably the most

[1:18:09] professionally built car in terms of

[1:18:12] that's one of one yeah it's one on one

[1:18:13] there's the only one in the world right

[1:18:14] henrik you know what's interesting here

[1:18:16] i think is every designer always try to

[1:18:19] make the lowest body side they can i

[1:18:21] think he definitely wins

[1:18:24] look at this section i almost feel like

[1:18:26] it's an airplane wing right that's what

[1:18:28] i said it's faced the wrong way i

[1:18:29] guarantee you if he

[1:18:31] does a sideway drift in this this will

[1:18:33] be the most aerodynamic vehicle in the

[1:18:34] world i mean look at this

[1:18:36] you know what i mean i mean it's just

[1:18:37] but i agree what jay says you feel the

[1:18:39] proportions of everything here the kind

[1:18:42] of

[1:18:43] very gentle sculpture

[1:18:45] is just amazing and just everything is

[1:18:47] proportional correct done like like jay

[1:18:49] was saying the mirrors is the right size

[1:18:51] it just has that feel like you want to

[1:18:53] jump in it yeah and kind of just drop it

[1:18:55] to be pounded on it's just and and all

[1:18:57] the details like all these little screws

[1:18:59] are even correctly done like look how

[1:19:01] they're all lined up and how you have to

[1:19:03] probably bend every single panel

[1:19:06] and it's it's actually not com so

[1:19:09] normally if you do this if if you end up

[1:19:11] just doing an extrusion it's fairly easy

[1:19:14] but you can actually see he put planned

[1:19:15] view into it and there's some emotions

[1:19:17] happening and that's actually what's

[1:19:19] difficult when you build a car so i

[1:19:20] agree with jay this is probably one of

[1:19:22] the what i've seen one of the best

[1:19:24] builds and what you really feel there

[1:19:25] was a lot of emotion going into it

[1:19:27] speaking of emotion i will tell you that

[1:19:29] this is the first time i'm seeing this

[1:19:30] car we've only seen digitally through

[1:19:32] our hot wheels legends tour stops i

[1:19:33] don't really care for this car digitally

[1:19:35] seeing it in person i actually do

[1:19:37] appreciate it a lot more different it

[1:19:39] really does yeah you guys see in reality

[1:19:40] just how shiny and chrome is every car

[1:19:42] you gotta see in a row every time a new

[1:19:44] car you see in the pictures like ah it's

[1:19:45] not that great then you see in reality

[1:19:47] you start appreciating what the design

[1:19:48] and the engineers were thinking that's

[1:19:50] what a lot of people say about me you

[1:19:51] really need to see jared in reality

[1:19:53] absolutely

[1:19:54] what do you think well um he mentioned

[1:19:56] mickey thompson as an inspiration which

[1:19:58] i think is great you know a lot of

[1:19:59] people

[1:20:00] maybe don't know mickey thompson's name

[1:20:02] but i would say that he might be

[1:20:04] one of or maybe even the most important

[1:20:06] person in hot rodding and racing history

[1:20:09] he did a lot of amazing things

[1:20:11] um the other person that this makes me

[1:20:13] think of is colin chapman i think about

[1:20:15] lotus early lotuses um you know

[1:20:18] light and simple it's it's nothing that

[1:20:21] you don't need it's everything that you

[1:20:22] do um i wouldn't want to polish it

[1:20:24] though i bet it will be very fast on

[1:20:26] your hot wheels test track

[1:20:29] yeah

[1:20:30] don't know it's so clean you could eat

[1:20:32] off it yeah

[1:20:33] it's really clean yeah but i was just

[1:20:35] thinking like of all the cars that we've

[1:20:37] seen this would be the one that would be

[1:20:40] in jay leno's garage

[1:20:42] yeah yeah would you agree oh well he's

[1:20:44] breaking breaking

[1:20:49] yeah this one would wind up in my garage

[1:20:52] yeah it's a really cool car so man like

[1:20:55] i said in the flesh in the in the shiny

[1:20:57] and chrome and new it looks great again

[1:20:59] ariel adam kind of has an aerial kind of

[1:21:00] vibe right

[1:22:30] my name is lee johnson and i'm the owner

[1:22:33] driver and builder of the ain't no saint

[1:22:35] gasser

[1:22:37] approximately seven years ago i was

[1:22:38] looking for the car to fulfill my dream

[1:22:40] of the gasser so we eventually tripped

[1:22:43] over the volvo

[1:22:44] this was a rusty old hulk

[1:22:46] due for a restoration but unfortunately

[1:22:49] just that bit too far gone so i bought

[1:22:51] it anyway

[1:22:52] put it back to our workshop

[1:22:54] here in the uk

[1:22:56] and stripped it out ready to make the

[1:22:58] dream

[1:23:00] we put in the big block chevy

[1:23:02] supercharged it

[1:23:03] big carburetors on it

[1:23:05] four-speed three-speed transmission

[1:23:08] ford rear axle as per usual and then

[1:23:11] there it was

[1:23:12] to have the car immortalized as a hot

[1:23:15] wheels car would be ultimate

[1:23:18] it's got this presence everybody we talk

[1:23:20] to always comes up to us and says ah it

[1:23:22] looks just like a hot wheels car so

[1:23:25] we're in hope that you guys will give us

[1:23:27] that accolade and make one for us

[1:23:31] thank you so much lee mr gasser write to

[1:23:33] you

[1:23:34] volvo p1800 come on man

[1:23:37] this thing is sick i love it it's i mean

[1:23:40] the the surprise element of it i mean

[1:23:42] you got that original it blew your hair

[1:23:44] back it did it did that that's just from

[1:23:46] the ride in the car you saw that thing

[1:23:47] on the track i want to drive that one

[1:23:49] too but no seriously this this thing is

[1:23:51] really cool i love the the surprise

[1:23:54] factor of a volvo you know you think of

[1:23:56] a volvo you think of like a stodgy

[1:23:58] engineer or something going to teach

[1:24:00] college or something but this this is

[1:24:03] just attitude this is performance i love

[1:24:05] the wheels sticking out i love the

[1:24:06] engine sticking up i love the color

[1:24:08] green i love the fact it's right hand

[1:24:10] drive i love the exhaust that sticks out

[1:24:12] the side i mean it's just just cool it's

[1:24:13] got stance

[1:24:15] you know this thing pulls up next to you

[1:24:16] you're going to let it go first i see

[1:24:18] mike i hear you under your breath yeah

[1:24:22] it's like a 454 fighter jet it's just

[1:24:24] incredible look i mean look how clean

[1:24:26] the paint is yeah it's just incredible

[1:24:28] there's that tank out front it has all

[1:24:30] those gasser elements that say american

[1:24:32] but it's definitely not jay i mean yeah

[1:24:35] i mean this wins the gasser thing here

[1:24:37] to me because

[1:24:38] everything is consistent i love the fact

[1:24:41] that he's in england and he tracked down

[1:24:43] some hoosier tires because it's it's

[1:24:45] just such an american build yeah i mean

[1:24:48] i i love

[1:24:49] i love when europeans do an american

[1:24:51] thing and they always take it to the

[1:24:53] next they always find something we miss

[1:24:55] and the cleanness the attention to

[1:24:58] detail is really now see he's got just

[1:25:01] the other one had the barrel in front

[1:25:02] he's got the fuel in the front there as

[1:25:04] well and uh yeah i i love the grill i

[1:25:07] love the blacked out lights and not

[1:25:09] blacked out but got the aluminum delete

[1:25:11] in there delete it as this and i love

[1:25:13] the fact that the the body is

[1:25:15] beautifully and meticulously painted and

[1:25:18] maintained it's not just stick a body on

[1:25:20] again and go down the strip you know

[1:25:22] yeah and it has some american flair

[1:25:23] there too even with the fins the lines

[1:25:25] of it right so like the big fins kind of

[1:25:26] not as big as some of the 50s american

[1:25:28] cars but still has that kind of

[1:25:30] silhouette yeah that's what's fun when

[1:25:32] you go to england there's so much neat

[1:25:33] stuff in little garage little cottage

[1:25:36] little shed

[1:25:37] yeah everybody's got a shed

[1:25:39] the house is falling apart but the shed

[1:25:41] is fantastic

[1:25:42] yeah yeah it's just

[1:25:44] yeah i think it's just incredible it's

[1:25:45] really something and it looks like a hot

[1:25:47] wheels car it looks like a car that

[1:25:49] shouldn't do any of this

[1:25:51] and they've taken it to that level the

[1:25:53] detail on the engine the other gas we

[1:25:55] didn't really see the engine at all

[1:25:56] right really this is this is a true

[1:25:58] gasser in your face in your face you

[1:26:01] know the supercharger sticking out over

[1:26:03] almost out of the roof yeah it's really

[1:26:05] uh really an amazing piece of work jay

[1:26:08] not a loss for words about this vehicle

[1:26:09] obviously excited about this and the

[1:26:10] lulu i'm just going off yeah just

[1:26:12] testing the temperature but i'm gonna go

[1:26:14] to elena over here have you ever been a

[1:26:15] santa pod raceway okay and in fact i've

[1:26:17] been lucky enough to see this car in

[1:26:19] person and i've seen it race i've met

[1:26:21] lee and i've met his daughters um you

[1:26:23] know another great story he didn't tell

[1:26:25] it in the video but um he built this car

[1:26:28] with his whole family they all go racing

[1:26:30] together i think he has three daughters

[1:26:32] and his daughters are racing it now

[1:26:34] they're driving it so he's been he's

[1:26:36] been teaching them how to drive and now

[1:26:37] they're racing and cynopod is this

[1:26:39] incredible track like people are like

[1:26:41] drag racing in england that's not a

[1:26:42] thing but it is and it's been a part of

[1:26:44] their racing history since the since the

[1:26:47] 60s they were very into the early nhra

[1:26:50] development and they took

[1:26:53] a lot of inspiration from that and they

[1:26:54] built their own rules and they built

[1:26:55] their own track and it's so cool to see

[1:26:58] what they've done with american drag

[1:27:01] racing culture to make it their own to

[1:27:03] make it european also

[1:27:05] i really love the volvo p 1800 and i

[1:27:07] don't think you guys make one

[1:27:09] do you mean brian is there a volvo p800

[1:27:12] matchbox yeah but not hot wheels yeah

[1:27:15] you're here

[1:27:19] brian what's your role again yeah yeah

[1:27:20] matchbox got it okay

[1:27:22] uh but yeah still a diecast family but

[1:27:25] to execute this could this be done with

[1:27:27] this transition oh yeah 164.

[1:27:29] absolutely i mean this this is a hot

[1:27:31] wheels right i mean it's incredible uh

[1:27:34] and you know i i what i liked about the

[1:27:36] other gaster was how it was unexpected i

[1:27:38] think this is even more unexpected in a

[1:27:40] way um and and that paint like

[1:27:43] it's a it's a beautiful green i believe

[1:27:45] it's a volvo green but it kind of has

[1:27:46] the uh

[1:27:48] impression of being british racing right

[1:27:49] so which i think is cool and and that

[1:27:51] kind of um speaks to the whole global

[1:27:53] nature of it like i love that it's

[1:27:54] american style but it's a british guy

[1:27:57] but you know a

[1:27:59] swedish car you know is it's just all

[1:28:01] over the yeah yeah i love that and then

[1:28:02] kevin bacon was in a few good men always

[1:28:04] comes back to a few good man sorry but

[1:28:06] you know it's funny because when brad

[1:28:07] gracie first started in england i had a

[1:28:09] friend who was over there in those days

[1:28:11] and they'd go be careful they're gonna

[1:28:12] burn the clutch out don't play yeah

[1:28:14] because they would like it was like they

[1:28:15] would like throttle off and then hit the

[1:28:18] yeah yeah and then

[1:28:19] like this guy showed him no just dump

[1:28:21] the clay so you put a new clutch in put

[1:28:23] a clutch in you know they they expected

[1:28:25] left attrition they want to last the

[1:28:27] whole season you know so but when you

[1:28:29] watch early drag race they go

[1:28:30] [Music]

[1:28:33] it wasn't until later they really got

[1:28:35] into this type of thing yeah which makes

[1:28:37] it fun

[1:28:38] absolutely so that's the progression

[1:28:39] we're talking about now they're just

[1:28:40] dropping the clutch hammock burn up

[1:28:41] tires that's what's up all right so uh

[1:28:43] there's our uk submission now we move on

[1:28:45] to our mobile one

[1:28:47] fan vote winner now this is a great

[1:28:48] looking car like i said this is begging

[1:28:50] to be driven it's here in the building

[1:28:52] i've seen this vehicle in person before

[1:28:53] it's an absolute piece of art and this

[1:28:56] is the 1990 porsche 911 baja owned by tj

[1:29:00] russell let's hear from tj

[1:29:03] hi everybody my name is tj russell and

[1:29:05] this is my 1991 porsche baja 911

[1:29:11] it is the love child of a porsche gt3 rs

[1:29:15] and a trophy truck it started off as a

[1:29:17] fairly clean 1991 c4 convertible

[1:29:21] every part on the car that you see is

[1:29:24] custom and handcrafted

[1:29:26] it has a built 3.8 liter engine an

[1:29:29] all-wheel drive drivetrain and really

[1:29:32] nice luxury interior

[1:29:34] what would it mean to me to have my

[1:29:36] creation made into a hot wheels is hard

[1:29:38] to put into words it would be a little

[1:29:41] bit of a trophy as to

[1:29:44] what what has

[1:29:45] brought me to where i am today and even

[1:29:47] more importantly

[1:29:49] if this car gets made into a hot wheels

[1:29:51] and the next generation sits and plays

[1:29:53] with that in their sandbox and we could

[1:29:56] unknowingly be inspiring the next

[1:29:59] generation of car builder which means a

[1:30:02] lot to me and i think that would be very

[1:30:03] special

[1:30:05] great looking car i love this thing i i

[1:30:07] want to take this home in 101 version uh

[1:30:10] tj's new husband fairly recent new

[1:30:13] father but this is his baby he's

[1:30:15] actually selling this thing to help fund

[1:30:17] the next iteration of the baja 911.

[1:30:20] i i've seen videos of our friend matt

[1:30:22] farah he's been shredding and hammering

[1:30:24] on this thing this car is very capable

[1:30:26] that's what's really cool about is the

[1:30:27] function is the fashion so sorry to just

[1:30:29] take the lead on how emphatic i am about

[1:30:31] that car but you guys are the judges so

[1:30:33] no pressure jay what do you think of

[1:30:34] this well i think it's brilliant it's an

[1:30:36] uh unbelievable build the trouble is i

[1:30:39] feel like i've seen it before in the

[1:30:40] sense that if you go to any porsche

[1:30:42] panorama meet or any of those things

[1:30:44] there are different iterations of this

[1:30:46] not not this this is a unique build that

[1:30:49] he did himself and

[1:30:51] you have to you can spend hours looking

[1:30:52] at all the detail the trouble is i think

[1:30:55] visually oh have i didn't i see a car

[1:30:57] like that before that's the only when

[1:30:59] you think of hot wheels as being totally

[1:31:01] off the wall bonkers things you've never

[1:31:03] seen before like the volvo gasser is the

[1:31:06] exact opposite of this

[1:31:08] it's just

[1:31:09] uh it is it looks like something the

[1:31:11] porsche factory built almost the winter

[1:31:13] race so

[1:31:14] if any it would get hurt only because

[1:31:18] visually it resembles other cars even

[1:31:20] though it is unique to itself and i i i

[1:31:23] think it's just brilliant moment of

[1:31:24] silence wu's standing up

[1:31:26] it's a miracle it's a miracle woo

[1:31:28] and i know you're a porsche guy i had

[1:31:30] this car too this is it um now this this

[1:31:33] is uh to me i i think what you said

[1:31:35] makes a lot of sense it looks like what

[1:31:37] if porsche built this car which i think

[1:31:38] is kind of the point like i love the

[1:31:40] fact that the fit and finish is so good

[1:31:42] if you i don't even get to angle from

[1:31:43] the front i mean this thing the track is

[1:31:45] so white i think they extended over a

[1:31:46] foot it's just so wide so mean uh this

[1:31:50] to me is definitely a top contender i'm

[1:31:52] a huge porsche fan but this one takes

[1:31:54] the cake for me and this is the mobile

[1:31:55] and fan favorite so you have to think if

[1:31:57] this gets made

[1:31:58] i'm joking

[1:31:59] [Laughter]

[1:32:00] mike how many tvs it got

[1:32:02] uh oh it's got one nice one in the dash

[1:32:06] oh

[1:32:07] and he's got a switch pro

[1:32:10] henry you know what i think is what what

[1:32:11] is cool about this is is is gone even

[1:32:15] further than any other porsche before i

[1:32:17] mean it's super wide

[1:32:19] it's got that feel i mean the one thing

[1:32:21] this vehicle have is truly have that

[1:32:23] feel you could drive it anywhere at any

[1:32:25] time

[1:32:26] uh it's it's it's really cool i mean the

[1:32:28] proportions are amazing uh you know the

[1:32:31] what he did with both the front and the

[1:32:33] rear i think is pretty cool

[1:32:35] uh these little carbon fiber you know is

[1:32:37] nice so it just has that feel like you

[1:32:40] can actually jump in this thing and just

[1:32:41] drive it out in the desert and it's not

[1:32:43] going to break you know you feel like

[1:32:45] this is not going to break it has it has

[1:32:47] all the right parts i mean you look

[1:32:48] underneath the suspension how it's

[1:32:49] prepared i mean this is developed just

[1:32:51] for this vehicle and that's the

[1:32:53] intention is is building this developing

[1:32:55] it overall and like you said nice

[1:32:57] classic interior touch but uh yeah what

[1:33:00] are you looking at the plexiglas yeah

[1:33:02] the custom custom molded rear so

[1:33:04] obviously it's taking them

[1:33:05] yeah and you can see the power plant in

[1:33:08] there obviously you know it's got to

[1:33:09] have some juice there's it's super

[1:33:11] detailed i love all the detail like you

[1:33:13] know this is another one you could spend

[1:33:14] hours at just looking at all the the

[1:33:16] little areas and stuff and that that's

[1:33:17] always fun to recapture in 164 scales to

[1:33:20] get all that as well as i mean turn

[1:33:23] turning a car into an off-road vehicle

[1:33:25] uh the other thing i'm really amazed uh

[1:33:27] learning in the video was that this was

[1:33:29] a convertible oh yeah you know like

[1:33:31] catch that the first time i you know i

[1:33:33] didn't catch that until the video but i

[1:33:34] mean yeah you see that you see the

[1:33:36] parting line there but the doors are

[1:33:37] solid and

[1:33:38] it just like wow you really

[1:33:40] another shock factor but the other thing

[1:33:43] for an off-road vehicle this thing is

[1:33:44] incredibly impeccably clean i feel like

[1:33:46] the eat off of this thing

[1:33:48] where's the dirt where's the the you got

[1:33:50] to look underneath okay yeah all right

[1:33:51] it's been shredded

[1:33:53] i'm gonna go down to baja next week for

[1:33:55] the one thousand so i'm willing to take

[1:33:56] this down

[1:33:57] and bring it back yeah that's what you

[1:33:59] like at that point to that point of all

[1:34:01] the cars if if this was a like we get to

[1:34:04] take one of these home at the end of the

[1:34:05] day this is the one i want to take home

[1:34:07] right you take a long way though right

[1:34:09] yeah yeah exactly

[1:34:12] but to jay's point like

[1:34:14] it does feel like i've seen it before

[1:34:15] right like there's so much safari

[1:34:17] porsche stuff it's really hot right now

[1:34:19] but so it doesn't maybe feel as unique

[1:34:22] as some of the others but it's

[1:34:23] definitely like yeah if this was a

[1:34:25] porsche only event it would win

[1:34:28] or if it was an off-road event it would

[1:34:29] win in terms of

[1:34:31] it's not outrageous it's incredibly

[1:34:33] practical yeah right so you need a

[1:34:35] little bit more outrageous to be a hot

[1:34:37] where it almost feels like this is in a

[1:34:39] class above everything else

[1:34:41] yep like i said function the function is

[1:34:43] the fashion aesthetically drivability

[1:34:45] all of that if this was like okay which

[1:34:47] vehicle can survive the longest i would

[1:34:49] say this might you know outdo the scrap

[1:34:50] toner yeah

[1:34:52] and you like stuff you can eat off of

[1:34:53] them

[1:34:55] over here

[1:34:57] i was hungry you haven't met you haven't

[1:34:59] missed many meals

[1:35:00] wow

[1:35:01] wow okay thanks jages last time i'm

[1:35:03] coming here

[1:35:05] at least you're not serving oh you're

[1:35:06] only kale i get it you're really

[1:35:07] catering my uh food prep thank you chad

[1:35:10] i appreciate that all joking aside let's

[1:35:11] move on to our final vehicle vehicle

[1:35:13] number 10 representing germany and uh

[1:35:15] this is owned by mick wenstern and the

[1:35:18] vehicle is called the 2018

[1:35:20] venkstern here we go

[1:35:23] my name is mike bankster we come here as

[1:35:25] norrish

[1:35:26] government

[1:35:28] [Music]

[1:35:54] is

[1:36:12] [Music]

[1:36:29] we're all just sitting here laughing at

[1:36:30] the thing because it just looks it is a

[1:36:32] hot wheels that's 164th already yeah

[1:36:34] our job's done

[1:36:36] well i want to tell you i speak german

[1:36:38] so i understood everything you said okay

[1:36:39] one of the things he said was that this

[1:36:41] has an amazing road holding and it's got

[1:36:44] 13.6 horsepower and it may be enough for

[1:36:47] that smoker he says it's much more tiny

[1:36:49] in reality that it looks there's only

[1:36:51] one sugar i saw it it's smaller i love

[1:36:54] it because it is so ungerman

[1:36:57] it is so values of rust why would you

[1:37:00] send a car to a show with rust on the

[1:37:01] car

[1:37:02] i mean it is so i mean the guy must be

[1:37:05] only half german i don't know what the

[1:37:06] other happened but

[1:37:08] but have some of you so deliberately

[1:37:11] inaccurate and rusty

[1:37:13] it just goes against every german person

[1:37:15] i know because they don't you know if a

[1:37:17] man has no hair why don't you call him

[1:37:19] curly

[1:37:21] i mean it's that yeah it's just oh yeah

[1:37:23] it just

[1:37:24] it's funny and i gotta say as a comedian

[1:37:26] this makes me laugh you pull on the show

[1:37:28] a car show with this i think everybody

[1:37:30] smiles everybody has a good time yeah i

[1:37:32] mean the tongue-in-cheek aspect of it

[1:37:34] and the fact it's from germany really

[1:37:36] makes me laugh because you know there

[1:37:38] are germans going why does that depend

[1:37:39] on things

[1:37:40] that's just not to yeah that's not true

[1:37:42] this is not the amg it's just not yeah

[1:37:44] sarah is that gangster

[1:37:45] yeah

[1:37:48] i don't even know what i'm looking at

[1:37:50] the name is like it's that sauce that

[1:37:52] you can't pronounce that i can't even

[1:37:54] pronounce that

[1:37:55] yeah

[1:37:58] it's cute that's all i have to say cute

[1:38:00] totes adorbs

[1:38:03] he's a trained florist who got into

[1:38:04] wrenching because of his brothers after

[1:38:06] a couple of years oh they are

[1:38:07] just

[1:38:08] you could you could tell alcohol was

[1:38:10] involved in the building

[1:38:12] i'm surprised it doesn't run on alcohol

[1:38:14] just just to keep the theme going yeah

[1:38:16] exactly brian what i can't believe is it

[1:38:18] street legal

[1:38:19] oh not in germany oh my god

[1:38:22] it has planes it's got german plates and

[1:38:24] he says it's street legal he said he got

[1:38:26] really registered too

[1:38:28] what streets in like euro disney i don't

[1:38:30] think that's on the autobahn

[1:38:33] i love this car i mean i think it's fun

[1:38:35] it's shocking we're all up here laughing

[1:38:36] talking about it enjoying it exactly and

[1:38:39] you know kids would or anyone too seeing

[1:38:41] on the on the shelf in stores and just

[1:38:43] the fact that

[1:38:44] you know hot wheels has whimsical stuff

[1:38:46] too and we have for many many years so i

[1:38:48] definitely see a home saw in the line

[1:38:50] there the one thing that would be the

[1:38:52] challenge for us

[1:38:53] at 164 scale all different size vehicles

[1:38:56] get generalized so a semi truck a school

[1:38:59] bus is as small as a go-kart or anything

[1:39:01] else so if you make it proportionately

[1:39:03] as small it's not going to read his

[1:39:05] 164th anymore so you lose the essence of

[1:39:08] it being a small go-kart at 164th i mean

[1:39:12] you can make it a little bit smaller but

[1:39:14] it's a subtle yeah i mean we kind of

[1:39:16] issued that like with the pedal car and

[1:39:17] stuff like that

[1:39:19] yeah we do it to an extent but it's you

[1:39:20] still lose some of that

[1:39:24] well

[1:39:30] aluminum right yeah well

[1:39:32] we do the bears a mac so yeah

[1:39:35] and jay always talks about this still to

[1:39:37] this day hot wheels you know the the the

[1:39:39] classics are 99 cents you can only

[1:39:41] charge forty nine and a half seconds

[1:39:44] you save money half the blister like i

[1:39:46] mean the material is saved on this

[1:39:47] vehicle yeah i mean it has fourteen

[1:39:49] hundred you know fourteen horsepower so

[1:39:50] fourteen

[1:39:51] i digress but it shows you going slow

[1:39:54] could be just as much fun as going fast

[1:39:55] yeah you know going slow and something

[1:39:57] like that driving through town would

[1:39:59] make people smile and laugh so yeah i
