The Dream Car

0:00A year ago today, I managed to buy the

0:02perfect dream car. And you may have

0:03noticed that I've been using it to

0:04promote Nutonic, which is the new

0:06Tropics business I started with Chris

0:07Williamson nearly 2 years ago. Now, I

0:09don't expect all of you to know much

0:10about cars, but this is called a GT3.

0:12It's the majority of young boys's dream

0:15car. And the reason I don't call it my

0:16dream car is because I never in a

0:18million years thought I'd ever be able

0:19to have one. Let me tell you a little

0:20bit about it. It is impractical,

0:23uncomfortable, it has bucket seats, the

0:25front scrapes, the back scrapes, it's

0:27too low. I decided to get it in manual

0:29because growing up in the UK, although

0:30manual is impractical, it it's just

0:32beautiful. And it even has a roll cage

0:34in the back. However, in the 12 months

0:36of owning this car, it's been a really

0:38big problem. In this video, we need to

0:39get to the bottom of it. But one of the

0:41first things I don't tell you about

0:42having this car is that you have to

0:43learn how to get in and out of it. So,

0:46let's get into the problem. You see,

0:47about 18 months ago, my son was born.

0:49And that meant there was a lot of time

0:50feeding him, burping him, sat on the

0:52sofa, and watching YouTube. And I got

0:54very much into YouTube channels. And

0:56I'll show you some of them right now.

0:57So, let's get into some of them. First

0:58of all, we're gonna have to go to Matt

1:00Armstrong. For any of you that haven't

1:01watched this guy's videos, they're

1:02incredible.

1:03>> Car appears to be totaled.

1:06>> Sad.

1:07>> This was the first time I'd ever seen a

1:08GT3. I didn't even know what it was

1:09before this video. And then you kind of

1:11fall in love with the cars.

1:20And he didn't just build one, he's built

1:22several of them.

1:29Then I remember watching some of Rory

1:31Reed online and I actually messaged him

1:34asking him if I'd be making a mistake

1:35getting it in manual. He says to me,

1:37"GT3 has to be a stick." So he's one of

1:39the reasons I got a manual. Then Nico

1:41Leonard, who you might know from being

1:44like a watch expert, had a white GT3

1:47just like mine. And there was quite a

1:49moving moment in here where he took his

1:50dad out in it.

1:51>> Yeah.

The Problem Begins

2:01So, we got my favorite people on

2:03YouTube, but then I've not even got to

2:05two people that I've also spoken to that

2:07have been massively influential. The

2:09first here is a guy called Miy. And this

2:11is where the problems start to begin. I

2:13discovered Mondi from this video.

2:20And then probably the OG of Instagram is

2:23a guy called Funded Trust who remains

2:25anonymous, gets millions of views on his

2:27videos, 34 million. And it's because he

2:29does stuff like this.

2:41And now to people that don't get cars,

2:42it's quite a special thing to see

2:44someone have such an amazing car and

2:46drive it like it's supposed to be

2:48driven. Like every dude is just kind of

2:50imagining that they could be that guy.

2:52So you're probably thinking, where's the

2:53problem? I'll tell you where the problem

2:55is. Every single person that I love and

2:57respect online that has a GT3, they've

3:00done something with it. And that thing

3:01they've done, they've removed the stock

3:03exhaust and put a performance exhaust on

3:05it. And I feel like I could be

3:07potentially missing out. And there's

3:09only one way that I'm going to be able

3:10to find out. I made a phone call asked

3:12who was the number one person in

3:14Australia when it came to determining

3:16what you do in this scenario because I

3:18don't know that much about cars. I'm not

3:20even that good at driving. Out of all

3:21the people I called, the same name came

3:23back. Raz from Prestige Autoworks. So I

The IPE Titanium Install

3:26called him. I told him the dilemma. He

3:28asked me to trust him and to go meet him

3:30in Sydney on a certain day. And he flew

3:31from Melbourne just for this.

3:33>> So we've got James with 911 here on the

3:36hoist. We're about to do the full IPA

3:38exhaust system. Let's have a look.

3:40>> That's not an exhaust, is it?

3:42>> James, that's the good.

3:44>> Feels like Christmas.

3:46>> Christmas except I've got to pay for my

3:48own present.

3:49>> So that's one of your headers.

3:53>> Oh, and this thing right here up. This

3:56is your that backing door.

3:58>> Oh, wow.

4:00>> [ __ ] light, isn't it? Open her up.

4:02>> I'm excited for this. With great power

4:04comes great responsibility.

4:06>> Yeah. I don't trust myself with that.

4:08>> Cool. It is light, isn't it? Cool.

4:10Headers.

4:10>> So, headers.

4:12>> So, that goes to the side of the engine

4:13where the exhaust comes out.

4:15>> Yes. So, cylinder head goes here and

4:18then this goes to the catback exhaust

4:21system. It just feels It feels

4:23expensive. People will see it when every

4:24time I see a car nut, I'll be showing

4:26them pictures of my exhaust. Um, okay. I

4:27feel nervous holding this now. I feel I

4:30feel unqualified. We should do this

4:32every week, guys. I'll have to get more

4:33cars.

4:34>> Oh wow. We made the right. You made the

4:37right choice.

4:38>> Sick.

4:39>> Have a look at that. That is perfection.

4:41Do

4:41>> you know I've told my misses today? I'm

4:43working. Right. So my miss is at home

4:44with the baby. She's like, "Where are

4:46you off to today?" I'm like, "Babe, I've

4:47got a got a good day at work." So when

4:49you going to be home? I'm like probably

4:504 5:00. I'm actually working. Little

4:53does she know I'm just a kid at

4:54Christmas. That's

4:55>> what it feels like.

4:56>> Wrong day at work. Yeah, babe. Yeah. I

4:58thought these look unreal. So this is

5:00how it sounds before.

5:04[Music]

5:11All right,

5:13let's get the show started.

5:14>> I'm nervous. I'm I'm To me that sounded

5:18quite good. But John, I've just put my

5:20trust in people. I'm not going to

5:21pretend I know more about cars or

5:22exhausts. So, we're we'll use the term

5:25we I'm like the labor on the building

5:27site here. I'm just going to be holding

5:28screws. I reckon it's time to change the

5:29exhaust. and I might need you to take

5:32the exhaust home with you in case I

5:34don't like it. Then we're going to come

5:36back here or go to another garage so we

5:38don't offend anyone and go, "Excuse me,

5:39can you put my old exhaust back on,

5:41please?"

5:41>> You ever had that?

5:42>> What's that?

5:43>> Someone get an exhaust and then want to

5:45put their old one back on.

5:46>> Once

5:48you remember once he was a [ __ ]

5:50though.

5:50>> Oh, good.

5:51>> You know who you are. It's hard to

5:53describe an exhaust sound. You know what

5:55I mean? I mean, so when I, you know,

5:57like if I say to you, yeah, it's got

5:59this, you know, deep brow, like what I

6:01think in my head is going to be

6:02depending what what for your head. You

6:05know what I mean? But I guess this is

6:06why we do a lot of content on our on our

6:08Instagram and and our social.

6:10>> I ain't even signed a waiver yet, boys.

6:12I could slip away. I haven't signed a

6:14waiver.

6:15>> Me, too.

6:19[Music]

6:33[Music]

6:36If you were someone out there struggling

6:37with low testosterone, you could

6:38actually just change an exhaust on your

6:40car, cuz this is one of the main things

6:42that can prove that that's not true. But

6:44if you're someone that's TRT curious,

6:45maybe wants to know a little bit more

6:47about getting a blood work checked,

6:48maybe want to find out the levels you're

6:49at, or maybe explore TRT treatments,

6:52I've put loads of more information in a

6:54link. It's going to be in the

6:55description to this. It's going to be

6:56checkyoubloods.com. Click on that. I'm

6:58going to touch base with you over the

7:00next few days. If you want to order a

7:01blood test, I can get you one at a

7:02discount. So check that out in the

7:03description. Let's get back into this.

7:08[Music]

7:19That's loud.

7:21But we're inside. We're inside. It's

7:23going to sound louder cuz we're inside.

7:25It won't sound the same outside.

7:28Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very

7:30much. No worries.

7:37[Music]

7:40That's loud. My neighbors are going to

7:42hate me.

7:49>> What have we done? What have we done?

What Have I Done?

7:56I'm on

7:57[Music]

7:59Yeah.

8:14Go, mate. Go, mate. Come on.

8:18>> My god.

8:23>> Jesus.

8:25>> Is that your hand?

8:26>> Yeah.

8:27>> Yeah.

8:27>> I'm a bit scared of it. I'm a bit scared

8:30of it if I'm honest.

8:32>> And it still needs to run in. So, it's

8:34going to get louder and louder than

8:35this. So, but from the outside, this

8:37thing sounds incredible.

8:46Jesus Christ.

8:50Oh my god. So, we're back from the

8:53garage. It's been 2 days. I couldn't say

8:54this in front of Raz, but I think it

8:56would be a bit too much. For some of you

8:58that may or may not be aware, I've got

8:59an app called Affordable Online

9:00Coaching. For over seven years now,

9:02we've had over 100,000 people use the

9:03app and we've got people results like

9:05this, this, and even this. I'd love to

9:07say it was me, but it was actually my

9:08amazing coaches. We have memberships

9:09from£10 a month, and there'll be a link

9:11in the description to where you can

9:12download the app. We give you a 7-day

9:13free trial. And if you think that I've

9:14broken any of my promises about this

9:16being a great app, there's a 2e money

9:17back guarantee period as well. So, if

9:18you're currently doing your own

9:19workouts, great. Ignore what I'm saying.

9:21We'll get back to the video. But if

9:22you're someone that needs maybe a little

9:23bit of accountability, check out the

9:24app. Do the free trial. Thanks. Let's

9:25get back to the video. I think it's too

9:26loud for me to even go on a track and

9:29it's a track car. Every time I leave my

9:31house, I'm worried about the neighbors.

9:32The cold start on it is what everyone

9:34says is the best part. That's me getting

9:35out the house. There are neighbors with

9:37young kids. I'm worried it might just be

9:38a bit too antisocial. But I'll tell you

9:40what, I'm scared. I'm I'm worried to

9:41call Raz cuz he flew all the way from

9:43Melbourne to fit this. Have you still

9:44got the old one in the back of your car?

9:46>> Yeah, let's go.

9:47>> I just don't know what he's going to say

9:48when I'm We're going to have to put this

9:49back on. We might have to go to another

9:52garage so I don't hurt his feelings. I'm

9:54actually nervous to call him.

9:55>> Can I um free up my car now? I'm kind of

9:57sick of having your exhaust in there. I

9:58mean, not keep it in there till we get

9:59back to the garage.

Why It Matters

10:00>> [ __ ] hell.

10:00>> It's not going to fit in mine, is it?

10:05[Music]

10:09>> This isn't just the car. It's a

10:10materialistic item. Something to be

10:12proud of, something to work towards.

10:14This car is about New Tonic. It's about

10:16locking in now, living later. It's about

10:18what the result is and can be from years

10:20of backto-back hustle. It's not there to

10:21show off, but to inspire. It doesn't

10:23even have to be this model of car. It

10:25could be any car. Not everyone knows the

10:27smiles you can get as a car lover. The

10:29time you just stare at it and think,

10:30"Wow, that's mine." As we grow up, we're

10:32told to be sensible, to be responsible.

10:34But what if that's sending us in the

10:36wrong direction? What if we want to be

10:37childish? That's the best part. That's

10:39the most important part. I think the

10:41exhaust is staying.

10:49It's not about the neighbors, Declan.

10:51It's not about the noise. It's about the

10:5314-year-old version of me playing Need

10:55for Speed Underground 2. It's about the

10:58boys.

11:00It's about the smiles that you put on

11:02people's faces as you drive by. It's

11:04about the kids telling you to rev it as

11:06you go past. It's about having someone's

11:08dream car that they put up on their wall

11:10and driving the [ __ ] out of it.

11:14Some people out there, we go, "What

11:15about the resell? What about the resale

11:18value? Modding your car is going to hurt

11:20your resale." Well, guess what?

11:22In my eyes, not driving your [ __ ] so the

11:26next guy can have a better go is like

11:28not [ __ ] your wife so the next guy

11:29can have a better time.

11:34Smiles per miles. These engines won't

11:37last forever. We're going to be all

11:39electric soon. It's about locking in a

11:41bit of history. It's about having fun.

11:44Yesterday, I see a 991 GT3 RS. He's in

11:48traffic in front of me. So, I go over

11:50and I find him. As I'm pulling past, I

11:52went to give him a thumbs up. As I pull

11:54up next to him, he's given me a thumbs

11:56up back. Me and this guy going down the

11:58road developed a kind of bromance. I

12:00loved his car. He loved mine. And when

12:03we got to the freeway, I dropped a gear.

12:06I booted it within the legal speed

12:08limit. And he booted it past me. He had

12:10a custom exhaust, too. And I thought at

12:12that very moment, Declan, imagine being

12:14in that moment, having that romance with

12:16that guy, giving each other the thumbs

12:18up, and only having a stock exhaust, how

12:20little he would have thought of me. I

12:22have a great life, but sometimes they

12:24were just moments that put a smile on

12:26your face. And I don't think it's sad to

12:29say that many of their moments when I

12:31put my foot down.

12:34I swear on my life for the first 24

12:36hours I genuinely thought this exhaust

12:39is going to have to go back. I text

12:42about five people that I all know that

12:44have got custom exhausts and they all

12:46said the same thing. They said wait.

12:47They said a moment is coming. And when I

12:49had that moment, everything changed. One

12:52of my mates I picked up in it. I put my

12:53foot down. Do you know what he said? How

12:55many times do you live James? I said I

12:57needed to hear that. I needed to hear

12:59that. If anything, the way I see it, if

13:02your car sounds better at slower speeds,

13:04it's safety. So, I'm doing this for

13:06safety and for the boys. Mostly the

13:09boys. Now, just before I say thanks for

13:11watching, think about this. What would

13:13Clarkson do?

13:14>> You see, back in 1994,

13:17I was living in London. I got a call one

13:19evening from my mom to say that my dad

13:21was desperately ill in a hospital in

13:24Sheffield, and I needed to get there as

13:26quickly as possible. I just taken a

13:29chicken out of the oven and I thought,

13:30well, I'll take that for my mom cuz she

13:33won't have eaten. Ran outside and I had

13:35a 9 to8 on test that week.

13:38And when I arrived in Sheffield, the

13:40chicken was still warm

13:43and my dad was still alive. In fact, he

13:46died half an hour later.

13:51And the truth is,

13:54if I hadn't have been driving a car

13:56which could sit quite happily at 170

13:58mph,

14:01I wouldn't have had the opportunity to

14:03say goodbye to my dad.

14:07So, as far as I'm concerned, the 928

14:10is all right.
