08:36You're close.
08:37You're not far off.
08:37Just slightly over this way.
08:39There you go.
08:39Oh, on the other side of the crack.
08:40Yeah.
08:41Story of my life.
08:43Watch out.
08:44What's the story here?
08:45Is this a Datsun or a Ferrari?
08:48Well, technically it's a Datsun.
08:49But, yeah, I'm not very technically minded.
08:51So, for me, it's a Ferrari.
08:53So, that's what Dwayne's turning it into.
08:56All right.
08:57I think it's clever.
08:58I mean, obviously I'm the one who's got the clever job.
09:00But this guy's, you know, you're good with your hands.
09:02He's a hands man.
09:03Yeah.
09:04I'm more of a thinker.
09:05You're a doer.
09:05Hey, look at these rings.
09:07Oh, wow, look at those rings.
09:08Hey?
09:08Yeah.
09:10The car's conversion has been Rod and Dwayne's passion project for the last five years.
09:15With one of the country's most respected car clubs coming to town,
09:19Rod hopes he, Dwayne, and the Ferrari will finally be accepted into the club,
09:24making their dream a reality.
09:27For me, it's really important because, yeah, it's the Southside Streeters.
09:31It's always been a dream of mine to get into a car club.
09:34And it's not easy, is it, Dwayne?
09:36No, it's not easy.
09:37You mean your car's going to be pretty good.
09:38We're going to do a bit of blagging.
09:40Yeah.
09:40We'll have a little trick up our state.
09:42We won't tell you now.
09:43Good luck.
09:43Yeah, thank you.
09:44We'd like to have a good laugh, though.
09:45That's what we do.
09:46We do.
09:47You should tell them about the birthday ruse.
09:49What's the birthday ruse?
09:50That's not quite above board.
09:51No, I shouldn't really do that.
09:53What is it?
09:53What was the birthday ruse?
09:54Oh, you twisted my arm.
09:55Oh, no cameras.
09:57All right, come and have a look.
09:58Come and have a look.
09:58Come and check this out.
09:59The birthday ruse.
10:01Yeah, no, it's, um...
10:03Hey?
10:04Well, what is...
10:04What's this?
10:05March.
10:06Read the date on that one.
10:0823rd of March, 71.
10:10Yeah.
10:10There's one for every day of the year.
10:12Oh, wow.
10:13One for every day of the year.
10:15Made them last year.
10:16Why?
10:17ID cards for Dwayne.
10:18For free food at restaurants.
10:20Yeah, and you go there, there's a happy birthday, get a free meal.
10:23Yeah.
10:23Hey, this guy's getting free food every day.
10:25Yeah, well, you know, word started to spread around the town.
10:30Pretty funny.
10:30The endless birthdays.
10:32Yeah, that was it?
10:32Yeah, oh, no.
10:33It was just a, you know, small town, so that's the problem.
10:36There's only five restaurants.
10:38Yeah.
10:38Food for thought.
10:39Hey, we should go, mate.
10:40We should probably hit the right.
10:41Oh, hey, yeah, you got any change yet, don't you?
10:43I got to go home.
10:43Yeah, so, um...
10:44Yeah.
10:45Hey, I'll, uh...
10:46You go with four eyes, mate, and I'll go home and get changed.
10:51Well, just because they're asking you lots of questions,
10:53that doesn't mean it's an official interrogation.
10:55Hey, have you tried just saying you didn't mean to do it?
10:59You have?
10:59Oh, okay.
11:00Well, just, yeah, say it again,
11:02and just really put emphasis on the, on the,
11:04I didn't mean to do it.
11:05That's, this is all the thing I'd probably say if I was there.
11:08All right.
11:09Yeah, do that.
11:10More emphasis on it.
11:11And, uh, yeah, just get back to me after that.
11:13Okay.
11:14Hooroo.
11:15How much longer do I?
11:17This is the last time you checked the oil, right?
11:19Seriously?
11:19Yeah.
11:20Oh.
11:21Well, that's embarrassing.
11:22Look, they're filming all this.
11:24Just...
11:25Hamish.
11:26Hamie.
11:26Distract the cameras.
11:29Look at this guy.
11:31Look at Hamish.
11:32Hamish can juggle.
11:33Hey!
11:49Rod has created his own registration sticker.
11:53The replication is perfect.
11:55Unfortunately, it's the wrong colour.
11:59What's this?
12:00Hey?
12:01Yeah, Rod Gaynor.
12:02Should be on your books there.
12:03Ferrari.
12:04It's...
12:05No, no, it's not the right sticker, mate.
12:06We didn't get a new sticker here.
12:07We got postal changed and...
12:10Yeah.
12:10Are you in the club?
12:12Yeah, of course I am.
12:13What's the president's name then?
12:15Obama.
12:17Not of America, of the club.
12:18Oh, I don't know.
12:19Come on.
12:20Come on, mate.
12:21Get out of here.
12:21Please.
12:22No, no, spectators can't work.
12:23Come on.
12:25I ain't got time for that.
12:27Look, please.
12:27I'm just trying to bring in him.
12:34Hamish!
12:36Do us a favour, mate.
12:37Can you distract that official?
12:40Come.
12:41Yeah.
12:41What do you got?
12:43Perfect.
12:46Hey, ferrier.
12:48Check this out, mate.
12:49A little secret move.
12:52I'm going to reverse through the exit.
12:54If the guy looks, I'll just come out the other way.
12:56It's an old trick.
12:57Hey.
12:58Here we go.
13:11I'm impressed.
13:13I'm impressed.
13:34Hey, mate.
13:35Rod Gainer.
13:36Carl Marks.
13:37Oh, yeah?
13:38I'm the leader of the club.
13:39Oh, great.
13:40Yeah.
13:41A couple of things I'm going to say.
13:42Rod, one you're not going to like, one you will like.
13:45Oh, yeah.
13:45First one, you'll like this.
13:46Okay.
13:46Like the way you're backed in there.
13:48Oh, you like that?
13:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:49Good old trick.
13:50Yeah, bloody nice.
13:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:51Credit where credit's due, you know?
13:52Thanks, mate.
13:53Second thing, you're not going to like this.
13:55See you're driving a Japanese car there, all right?
14:01We don't allow that.
14:04Mate, I thought you knew cars.
14:05That's not Japanese.
14:06It's a Ferrari.
14:11Go and have a look at it, Louie.
14:13Oh, we don't look too close, mate.
14:17Look, I just want to be in the club, man.
14:19Yeah, this Ferrari sticker peels off pretty easy.
14:23Well, I knew it.
14:24Coming here with your Japanese car, you're like a spy, aren't you?
14:27Behind enemy lines.
14:28No.
14:28It was my camp.
14:29I'd never do that.
14:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, boss.
14:35Is that true?
14:36You make coffee?
14:37I can.
14:38No, no, he's a lawyer.
14:39Are you a lawyer too?
14:40Yeah.
14:41You're not a cop?
14:42No.
14:43Oh, I'm not a cop.
14:44I hate cops.
14:45Especially the one in this town, he's got really short shorts.
14:47Yeah.
14:48So, you know, you can help people out if they've got, like, you know, car-related fines or,
14:55you know, illegal modifications, things like that.
14:57You could do that?
14:57Yeah, that's what I do.
14:58Yeah.
14:59Really?
14:59Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:01Who made the car?
15:04My mate, Duane.
15:05Duane!
15:09Okay.
15:10If you can get rid of the car and him, you can stay.
15:17You want a moment to think about that?
15:20Yeah.
15:23A bit longer?
15:24I might just...
15:25Yep.
15:30Hey, how'd you get on?
15:33Yeah, good, good, yeah.
15:34I'm in.
15:35Woo!
15:36Yeah, but, uh, not the, not the car, so...
15:40Hey?
15:40Yeah, the cars, he's not happy with the car.
15:42Oh, why?
15:43Dunno.
15:44So, might have to get you to take off with it.
15:47Yeah.
15:48What about me?
15:50Nah, you're not in.
15:51He's not happy with you either.
15:53So, can you take the car and just, just go, and then I'll...
15:59You know how much I've dreamt about this?
16:02Yeah, but we've dreamt about this.
16:05Yeah, I know.
16:06I know, but, um, I just need you to go, Duane.
16:11All right, mate?
16:15I'll just go, Duane.
16:16Go.
16:18Well, let's go, then.
16:19Yeah, man.
16:21You gotta go?
16:22Okay.
16:23All right, he's gotta go.
16:31Good one.
16:32Oh, well.
16:33Yeah, yeah.
16:34There you go.
16:36Oh, cheers.
16:37It's official.
16:38Official cooler.
16:40That's awesome.
16:49It takes a shit car.
16:51It says it's your worst car.
16:52What a dreamer.
16:53What was he thinking of?
16:54It's not even the right colour.
16:55It's not even red.
16:56Like, it's orange or something.
16:57That's appalling.
16:59What a waste of time.
17:00Look at how he smells rot.
17:03So, listen, Rot.
17:04A few of us here, you know, could really do with a hand.
17:07Oh, yeah?
17:08Yeah.
17:09What do you mean?
17:10A few fines, a few court appearances coming up.
17:13How many of you are in the shit?
17:15How many of you guys are in the shit?
17:19Just one end, Mark.
17:20I understand, yeah.
17:21I know what it's like when you make a few mistakes.
17:23We all make a few, yeah, a few mistakes.
17:25That's all right.
17:27That's quite a few.
17:30Yeah, I suppose.
17:31Oh, so that's...
17:31Oh, can you help us out?
17:32Oh, can you help us out?
17:38Look, um...
17:45I'll tell you what, I'll, I'll, um...
17:48I'll be back in a minute.
17:53I've never seen an orange throw.
17:55I've never seen...
17:56Does it look real?
17:57No.
17:58What was it like when you touched the paint?
18:00Awful.
18:00Was it?
18:01Yeah.
18:01Didn't feel nice?
18:02Nah, it just felt...
18:03Because it should feel nice.
18:05Blank!
18:06Oh, here he comes.
18:08I'm sorry, man.
18:10Yeah.
18:12I made a mistake.
18:13Yeah, well, I thought you never made mistakes.
18:15Who told you that?
18:15Well, you did.
18:16You wrote it down.
18:18Oh, and I was just testing a pen.
18:20Yeah, well, I kept that and kept that.
18:22Oh, mate.
18:25I'm sorry, man.
18:28Well, I knew you'd come back.
18:30You know that song, Blinded by the Light?
18:33Webbed up like a douche.
18:34Yeah, fair call.
18:37I got you this.
18:41Thanks, Rod.
18:41That's for you, mate.
18:44Memento.
18:45Let's go and have lunch, eh?
18:45Nice.
18:46Yeah.
18:47Yeah, okay.
18:47All right.
18:53Ah, nah, I got it.
18:59There comes a point in one's life when a hobby becomes too serious.
19:03Loyalty, though, isn't a maker or a model.
19:05It's a badge of honour.
19:06And you can't just acquire it by becoming part of some club.
19:11Tribe.
19:13Get the idea.
19:14Oh, thanks, guys.
19:22All right, birthday boy.
19:23Your meal's on us.
19:24Thank you very much.
19:25Happy birthday, Dwayne.
19:26Enjoy the night.
19:27Awesome.
19:28Thanks, mate.
19:29Hi, guys.
19:30Hello.
19:31Oh, there he is.
19:33Really, guys?
19:35Oh, come on.
19:36We need a cheering up.
19:37Fair enough.
19:39Oh, here we go.
19:40Watch out.
19:41Yeah, thank you.
20:06I thought you were coming back.
20:08Yeah, they said the same thing about Shackleton.
20:10What?
20:12Shackleton, the explorer.
20:16Look, mate, I really need your help.
20:19Just after you left, a cop showed up with really tight shorts.
20:22Oh, yeah, Mike.
20:23Bust a lot of the guys for unpaid fines.
20:27Mum finds out she'll close down the club.
20:29Your mum?
20:30Yeah, she's the club president.
20:31I thought you were in charge.
20:32I am when she's away.
20:33Oh, yeah.
20:34She's in Fiji at a loamy massage retreat, actually.
20:36Oh, that sounds all right.
20:37Yeah, it's good.
20:38She's learning a lot.
20:38Oh, good.
20:41I really need a lawyer.
20:42Oh, right, yeah.
20:44Well, if I find one, I'll let you know, mate.
20:46Yeah.
20:49Oh, no.
20:50You are one, yeah.
20:50Yeah.
20:51That's why you're here.
20:52Yeah.
20:52Okay.
20:53Okay.
20:53I'll give you a hand.
20:54On one condition.
20:55Look, okay.
20:56Yep, fair enough.
20:58Your mate can be in the club and so can the Datsun.
21:01It's not that.
21:02All right.
21:03Here's the condition.
21:04I want you to apologise to Duane.
21:07Okay.
21:08He spent years converting that Datsun into a Ferrari.
21:11Sorry you wasted all that time for converting the Datsun.
21:14No, don't know.
21:15Apologise for the rejection from your club.
21:18Okay.
21:19I'm sorry that the club rejected you, Dwane.
21:23And you in particular.
21:25And me in particular, I'm sorry.
21:27Yeah.
21:30Am I happy with that, Rob?
21:30Yeah.
21:31I think you're happy with that, Dwane.
21:32Yeah.
21:34Good.
21:35Now, if you could just sing the Japanese national anthem.
21:40What?
21:43Yeah, that was a joke.
21:45Yeah.
21:46Seriously, though, if you could sing it.
21:47Sing it!
21:48Sing it!
21:54Ta-da!
21:56Sit down.
21:57I'm not going to get in.
22:00Yeah, I thought you really wanted me to sing it, didn't you?
22:02Oh, yeah, good one.
22:08Rod Gaynor?
22:11Oh, right.
22:12Yeah, it's pretty late now, mate.
22:15Oh, well.
22:17No, well, yes, it's a cell, but it'll be fairly comfortable.
22:21I'll spring you out first thing in the morning.
22:23Yeah.
22:23No, I just had a bit on today.
22:25Yeah.
22:26Oh, mate.
22:27Yeah.
22:27Oh, you'll be right.
22:27You'll be right.
22:28Is this your only phone call?
22:30Oh, you're cutting out.
22:31You're cutting out.
22:34Oh, yeah, now, this program was funded by New Zealand On Air.
22:42I told them it was Dwane's birthday.
22:43Ha-ha!
