DAILY EPISODES all the way to EP 100 - Yes you read that correctly! Massive thank you to each and every one of our 38 viewers.
No longer a 6 week wait to the big 100! As loyal viewer no. 21 I can’t wait to see what’s in store.

Yeaaaah booooyyyy!!! So much good news here. Hey Moog, what flavor pickle you want? Yes, what FLAVOR. Like, if they have (blank), send it. Every corner store, gas station, and grocery market has these here in Oklahoma.
You should name the charade the “Mirade” since it’s obviously a Mira technically
No. 24 checking in lol
All 38 of us are here!

2SEXY! Elon must be an MCM fan.
As one of 5 American viewers I’ve seen every video out. You guys are awesome and give younger viewers something to work towards. Great teachers, just remember the first step is to lift your car
im one of the other 5
Number three here
How do you spell gherkinbat?
I guess I am number 4 then !
and 5
Ah shit. I broke the system by being #6. Probably missed a half dozen episodes here and there though. Life gets crazy sometimes.
Me and the other 38 viewers are probably binky fans, were used to long wait times for awesome content. Keep up the awesome work Marty and Moog
39... you forgot me
@@alexander1485 I stand corrected... 39 :D
I don't know that I'll live long enough for Binky to turn a wheel under its own power.
A verified bot copied your comment
Right? Did Binky get finished yet? RUclips turned off the notifications for Bad Obsession Motorsport & I haven't checked in months.
I've was probably 95% driving, 5% spannering but with each passing year of Marty & Moog it's more and more about the community, working on the projects and the driving...
Look into the TNGA platform. The GR Corolla is most definitely running the same stuff the GR Yaris is. They are simplifying and lego block-esque their chassis and drivetrain stuff now.
Moog dropping Marty's Gemini/Tesla project was so funny with Marty just talking past it. Let's not give away any secrets for upcoming episodes on that other channel.
What other channel?
What other channel?
DAW reference on a car show; unicorn circuit certainly has a unique viewership 🦄 🔌
The GR Yaris is a JDM, turbo 3 cylinder, 2-door hatchback nugget! Everything you both stand for!! I challenge you to reconsider it or have we lost you both to the Audi’s and Golfs??
Yeah, but if it's a hatchback, then it's a 3-door.
Thanks for reconsidering 😁
I love that y’all can get away with driving a 600cc car on the streets there. 1.6 turbo in the us feels like you have to really ring its neck just to keep up with all the 6.3L v8 suvs here
30:16 a bat sleeve is what Alfred tucks when Bruce Wayne goes to sleep
Quick Tip: If the used knickers you've been using to sniff have started to lose the smell, just lightly steam over a freshly boiled kettle to reactivate the scent
😅
Ah, a man that speaks from experience.
@@Brian-wy7ts sniff your own do you?
That is so fkn feral....
This episode makes me realize Marty knows his stuff when it comes to economics.
Gherkenbat
Flintstones: the great gazoo. Little green fellow did magic.
Holy crap, someone as old as me that remembers the Great Gazoo😂🤣
I have a GR Yaris and was going to get a Golf R before the GR came along.
After driving both I believe the GR is much better for its driving experience. You feel so much more connected to what the car is doing under you rather than the numb feeling the R gives you.
The R may be quicker but it certainly doesn't give you the same feeling in yer loins as the GR Yaris.
I am 99% watching RUclips about fixing cars and 1% fixing them :-)
Best comment Liam
Yup aha... same...
Yes! My favorite weekly youtube show!
The lunacy of the price of vintage gaming is due to companies who acredit said items inflating the prices when rating them. There has been a tonne of controversy surrounding collectors conspiring with acreditors to massively inflate the price. Not really the same as the supply and demand argument. Our fellow Aussie and absolute legend Goldeneye speed runner, Karl Jobst has done a great video on this.
You need to check out the Toyota Blade Master if you can. Basically a Toyota Corolla/Auris with the 3.5L V6 2GR-FE engine in it. I believe it's the lightest car Toyota ever made with that 3.5L V6 in it and they're definitely available in Australia!
I send my appreciation from California! As one of the 5 American viewers, I've watched every episode and look forward to the next one! I laughed so hard at the poo plunger.. and gerkhinbat 😂
A pickle in a bag became popular at carnivals. No dirty hands or tongs reaching in the jar to grab a pickle and they're all of similar size.
Big time love hanging in the garage and hanging with some friends. Where I live we have a super friendly old guy on a scooter that strolls around the complex and when he sees my garage open he stops and we just sit and chat with each other. Definitely don't get what I wanted done but always enjoy speaking with him
Moog, the batting sleeve is very simple: bat with a heavier bat, to create more inertia, so that when you do bat, you naturally create more force/speed which equals a big, satisfying pop.
The used car bubble will burst, especially if interest rates go up. I can't wait.
That intro was frikn hilarious lol, also my book from you guys came! Thanks so much it’s like a history book for mcm
Spot on with the America/Canada & Australia/New Zealand comparison
Canada is an alternate reality America. Things seem almost the same, yet different. Canada seems to have fewer dickheads too.
Along with other 38 viewers here. I like to watch Unicorn circuit when i get home or while eating after i get home after work. Its something like news channel without ads and fake news for me. Keep Up (lel) good work for these daily episodes
Sounds like your getting a GR yaris :P love mine!
What’s nuts to me is remembering being blown away as a kid, thinking some other kids dad just dropped him at school in a hsv clubsport (vs / vr era) with 175kw…. Now the GR Yaris and Corolla will get a decent chunk more out of a 3 cylinder.
Manual conversion on an original Levorg would be a great main channel project
I remember reading a forum about someone doing it. Apparently, to keep them legal in auz/nz you have to make the ISight work
Prices of used cars are nuts, especially large 4wd’s. Bought my patrol 1 month before the spicy cough hit Australia for 12k, and at the height market price indicated 100% increase. All it means for me is my insurance premiums go up as intended always to keep it long term and do a 4.5 Cummins swap on it when the zd30 pops.Same for my classic fords. No intention of selling, I enjoy them too much to sell. I feel for all those that have increased premiums because of this and having to pay more to hawks cashing in on original parts.
Looks like Marty’s ♊️ is about to be the fastest car in the mcm garage 👍⚡️✌️
Greetings from California. I am 60% moding , 30% driving and 10% social.
I love watching Marty & Moog play their whistle holes.
Prices of used cars in my part of Canada are ridiculous right now. I saw a pickup truck with a blown motor, blown transmission, and a rusted out broken frame for $500.
A bat sleeve, or a doughnut as we called them when dinosaurs roamed the earth, is a magical device used when you're on deck in baseball. A few swings with the extra weight makes your bat feel lighter at the plate. You feel like superman for a few mins.
As for car cruises vs. car meets vs. working on a car with mates, absolutely working on a car is the more enjoyable experience for me. I find at car meets the really modified cars that have had heaps of work done to them don't attract as much attention as stock cars + cut springs + expensive wheels. Car cruises can be fun but because the speed limits are so crazily enforced here I'd prefer to go to a track day.
The Great Gazoo was a alien character appearing on the Flintstone's cartoon in the 1960's.
I can't believe the Simpsons predicted 2 Australians playing knifey spooney...... Best unicorn circuit ever.
In the UK, I had a GR Yaris for a year and 8k miles (13k km), took it on the NC500, did 2 trackdays and it was great but nowhere near as fun to me as my S2000 and therefore it has been sold for exactly what I paid for it. Can't fault it for free motoring but I think rally cars are less my thing and RWD sports cars are more my thing.
Can't wait to see the roadtrip. Think that gasket seal stuff will hold????? Can't wait to find out.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust that at all. Better to buy a gasket material and cut out your own. If high temp one is available.
M35 Nissan Stagea- Three words... In The Bin!
Best of luck with it man, I love your dedication.
Moog, if you’re really keen: try drinking the pickle brine with powdered Kool-Aid mixed in. It’s a southern (north) American thing.
Please 👍this, I would love to see this happen 🤣😂
Canadian here, I have thought about that exact comparison between USA/CAN and AUS/NZ before.
👍 I remember u guessing/suggesting that you Tesla swap that Gemini when you 1st showed it 🤦♂️🤣👍✌️
I used to be 60%working on cars 40%driving, but now I'm not able to work on cars, so now it's 10%working on them, great episode guys, I sometimes feel like half a person, so I'll be the half of the 37 and a half
In my younger years I hoarded a crap load of Sega and Gameboy stuff when nobody wanted them. Still have it all till this day. It's absolutely crazy what people are trying to sell them for now
I might need to a my town video. I think it would be interesting for Australians to see Finland in the winter time, when lakes are frozen and everything is covered in snow.
Potentially it could be a Imports to New Zealand if there isn’t any existing inventory. As well as replacing statutory right off‘s because repair ability is low due to the battery
I live near the Indianapolis Motor speedway and Oriley Raceway park where NHRA nationals are held. I NEED a new camera to film a my town!!!
What glorious engine sounds in the summer!
@@weaksignal8009 top fuel cars and bikes shake the house. I can climb a tree and watch
Ran into the problem selling my Ranger. Ended up buying a late model Mazda 3 as a runabout until my new one arrives in August...
Gherkinbat from Texas here! not all Texans love barbeque, only the cool ones
Probably late to the news, The last ever (NEW) LIberty was sold in WA couple of months ago. You guys know about this right? Subaru Australia stopped the Liberty to start selling the new WRX wagon which also won't last, because people want SUVs. AND THE GR Corolla may not come to Aust. US exclusive, because they don't have the GR yaris
I'm 90% working on, 10% driving... love building cars, been doing it for years. I enjoyed the driving part a lot more when fuel was a 1/3 of the price lol
Unicorn. The summer series and teslagem. I could live with that
The new intro package is magical!
Just what I need while I look through the used cars online! Cheers, Hope all is well :)
Fun fact - I live down the street from the original Kazoo factory. Always sounds like a bee hive down there.
Haha! You guys said my crap car and RUclips went to a Ford ad😂.
Tesla said their sales were 15,000, well if there is a waiting/delay period then the sold could be more than the registered or delivered in that year.
33:00 taste the periodic table.
Also >insert secret code word
As an American, I think your Canada vs America comparison is correct, except that I also agree that Canada is better in a lot of ways. Also Tesla does not advertise here either. Love the content since day 1!
My Local IGA (Doonside) were selling those pickles - not sure if they still have them though! haha
28:41 for Martys mind being blown
Thank you!!
One thing to keep in mind with the increase in used car pricing. Make sure your current car is not underinsured. Adjusted my insurance for my 350z as they valued it at $8k but good luck finding any 350z second hand for that price. On average, 350z's are going for $15k.
Ive been looking at a M35 Stagea on car sales and this video just made me reconsider.
This one was high kms and was a company vehicle in a past life - they're probably fine if they've been looked after. I was looking at a G35 as well that also had the CAS issue.
Here in America, Gazoo is a character in the Flintstones cartoon.
Yess... Game gear with the optional TV tuner was the dream. Then mega CD came out and was high up on the list :)
I love designing and building cars. THEN driving the Unicorn out of them! 😁
i can explain the gazoo thing
The word in japanese is gazō (ga zoh) which is japanese for image
the ceo setup the race team with that name with the intent to change toyotas image
so really the word gazoo is probably supposed to be pronounced gazo but i think that memo got missed
My first order of MCM merch arriving, AND a new unicorn Circuit ep in the same day!
Tesla is taking heat in the US about their service, many people can't get their car serviced for months, so Telsa is becoming your second car for many people.
They are rioting in our Capital, Ottawa, in Saskatchewan we are in a snow storm, all is good
Im proud to say that I'm one of the 37 viewers that has seen every single episode of gherkinbat. Can't wait for 100! Also people may be buying Teslas and not registering them so they can sell them as "new" vehicles at a profit.
We waited exactly 9 months for my brothers 2021 ford ranger to get to the dealer. Picked it up January 6th 2022.
A weighted bat sleeve is designed for training your bat.
I have a strong suspicion that there are more than 38 viewers. And Yes, I have watched them all. And I am almost positive that I have watched all the eps of the other channel too.
Regarding the tesla information- what about the people who returned them within a day or something- it’s only the amount of sales , not returned. That makes up for a few thousa
Until tomorrow guys!
Car prices are nuts!!! I bought my car new in 2016 under 30K drive away and saw a dealer on carsales asking over 30K for a 2014 model. Bonkers.
Make the 100th ep super long. Cant wait for whatever it is
GR Corolla is gonna spank the VW and actually last longer than 100k miles.
You can buy whistling candy at Japanese supermarket in Macquarie centre
Not trying to flex on anyone but I'm pretty sure I've watched them all.
@ 19:50 - Moog's analogy is pretty close to correct... Except some Canadians know Americans have Human Rights that CAN'T be infringed.
BOOM!
Gherkinbat GHERKINBAT 😂
Marty has the bat sleeve right it is to warm up before your at bat
Bat sleeves are used when you are warming up and getting ready to go to home plate to take your turn at bat.
Tesla are releasing a model 2?
So there's going to be Tesla Models: 2 S 3 X Y ???
Underrated comment right here
The 3000 missing Teslas are in transit. Sold (ordered) but not registered yet.
Gherkinbat. Hahahahaha! Love it!
Just completed a road trip Rockhampton to Queanbeyan with my younger son & my wife. My son & I are doing up a couple of 75 Galants! love a road trip but not as much as I love spending time tinkering with cars with my boys ;) it's really a freaky that the Charade is a "Charade" LOL PS did you chech that the Crank case ventilation line was clear (PCV working & not blocked) ? Helps stop oil leaks! looking foward to the road trip :)
Of course we watched every single one.
*rain fingers*
On the topic of talking about Tesla, and the announcement of their new Model 2... Elon has stated before that the model names spelled words. This was back when there were only 3 models.
So Models S, 3 (originally wanted to be called the E), and X. Sex.
add the new Model Y: Sexy
And now, the new model 2.
2SEXY
Ahhhh goat I just placed an order today. Why didn't I watch this first? Can I just yell it down the internet? GHERKINBAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this show, I have watched every episode. Thank you for being and presenting such awesome shows. Legends. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏆🏆
Good old gherkinbat 😂 love being part of the 37 and a half viewers 😂😂
Moog's Canada/USA observation is correct.
Ahh, The Unicorn Circuit. The best structured show with zero structure 👏👌
