That was messed up when your dad sold the car you really like to have. I enjoy you real and raw footage you present. It felt like I was on the ride too👍🏾

[@WastelandFirebird]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@Gomisan]

Those shots in the setting sun, fan-bloody-tastic!

[@WastelandFirebird]

Thank you so much, we were so excited too. The timing was perfect.

[@madskelli]

“Where’s my hot wife?” Best thing I heard that day! 🖤🖤🖤 Hey Wastie Fans! We’re back in Aus! We missed you! 🇦🇺

[@rumpelstiltskin6252]

I also wanna add that this video has the best thumbnail!

Thanks for yet another cool video. Today in Adelaide, South Australia, the 'Bay to Birdwood' was held, which is a parade of vehicles built prior to 1993. The parade starts at West Beach and ends at the Birdwood National Motor Museum. A 67 km journey. This year there were just over 1550 vehicles involved. You would have been in your element.

[@WastelandFirebird]

Oh yes, that was on my calendar, but we had a conflict. So I hope to make it next year.

[@chrisunderhill8853]

That car next to the yellow cab is like the car from robo cop

[@michaelramsey9975]

Ah hey! I camped right next to you. In the baja box truck.

I worked at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney when they filmed the "Thunderdome" Scene where the Trams used to go. In one scene you can vaguely see the huge Brick Smoke Stacks that we're inside the Building.

It's funny when I saw the title of your video I thought this was a sequel to the film I was in with my car 'Charlotte' (the smashed up 390 FORD INTERCEPTOR) THE ROAD TO WASTELAND (2017 Made 2 Work on Vimeo) I'm gonna take her next year unless I get the "OMINOUS E-mail" that I can't come back....LOL!!!!😅😂🤣

Cool ✌ We have the "Cherry Ripe" chocolate bar & Cherry flavour tim tam biscuits. ✌

Great fun! Glad you and Mad Skelli had a great time.

Haha as soon as i seen the 44 gallon drums being loaded into the van i knew the Leyland P76 comment was coming out. Lol you're a legend.

[@tironibusmaximus6100]

Thanks Mr Firebird, that was really interesting

[@WastelandFirebird]

If I ever cease to be interesting, please let me know!

[@marvinhenderson4417]

Well,now I know why you missed the roadrace! Looks like it was worth it!

[@Saintbow]

The car learned to drive on was a 1969 VW bug. I rebuilt a 1970 VW Bus Westfalia and my dad sold it on me when I was doing my apprenticeship. I would kill to have an old VW again. Sadly my area does not have any within normal human price ranges. A dead VW missing the engine, wheels, and rusted out pan goes for above 6k, simply insane.

[@BradGryphonn]

22:20 OI! Cherry Ripes!

[@noelgibson5956]

Have you seen the 1974 film:- Stone? It's mainly bikie focused, but had a few actors in it that later starred in Mad Max. It also shows a lot of Aussie cars that were contemporary at the time. A badass film with a cult following. 🏍️🏍️🏍️

[@WastelandFirebird]

Yes I have! It's a classic.

[@darrengray2309]

The mad Max museum in Silverton is worth a visit

[@WastelandFirebird]

Oh yeah, we've been there, and will one day return and make a video about it!

[@rockdude5150]

Very cool vid dude , watching from new zealand , and driving a 2017 VF series 2 HOLDEN UTE which i love , red of course they go faster lol ;)

[@skullandcrossbones65]

G'day, You need to watch "Woolf creek".1&2, Not quite "Mad Max" but a little more "realistic"

[@Ragnar6000]

I actually like the way you say "the commenters" you might be the only youtuber that says it like that!......so its unique.

[@muzza1967]

No cherry flavour in Australia, what do call a Cherryripe. 😁

[@madskelli]

He means Fake Cherry Flavour.

[@BradGryphonn]

11:10 I drove a Tercel. Once. I like the back side windows.

[@WastelandFirebird]

Yeah they were the best

so wheres the xb mad max coupe the police cars and the hq holden

[@WastelandFirebird]

There has been an imported XB at Wasteland, but not this year. This year someone had a pretty convincing AMC Javelin interceptor though.

[@madskelli]

There is a man from Oregon that has a replica Interceptor (RHD) who brought it to WW, but sadly due to medical reasons he can’t attend anymore.

[@Britcarjunkie]

@@madskelli I was going to mention, there's sonebody just outside of Klamath Falls, that dressed up a Datsun B210 to look like one of the police interceptors, lol.

[@lesklower7281]

It is iteresting how the Mad Max films still have an influence on American culter no other movie series has done that

[@icascone]

What happened in 1981...? Was it a tornado or other similar natural disaster? (I can see those being semi apocalyptic just like Hurrican Katrina lol)

[@WastelandFirebird]

The problem is, each one of us only knows the parts that we saw. There was no international news to sum up events. My experience is here in the first chapter: youareawaited.com/awaited-nonfictional-delusion

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

Nice Video!!!! It's cool to see the GODFATHER of the WASTELAND on a video again!!! I got kicked out of the event on friday but at least I got to see him before I left at the gas station and give him a pregnancy test!!!LOL !

[@leighdonald1467]

So are you from a different time or same time just parallel timeline? I just love how you get excited over normal cars, im not a car guy at all however i would love to own a kei truck one day.

[@WastelandFirebird]

I believe the timelines split around 1981 or a little before. Before then, we were on the same timeline.

[@bikerleo1966]

We have cherry ripes in Australia !!

[@WastelandFirebird]

I love those. I hear they used to taste better though.

[@Blanchy10]

Bit ironic see all those vehicles in a Gas Station!

another great Australian Apocalypse movie is Sons of Steel from 1988

I want to put my 2c on covid lol As someone with Chronic fatigue/Long Covid, weather vax or anit vax etc, I wish we had much more coutios approach on covid when it is clearly out there, particularly in major cities, (not sure there in that particular of USA)... Hospitals are overwhelmed and stocks are low because of high sick leave... I understand the concern and worry about vaccines, but wish masks were very strongly raccomended (but not mandated), as even 40% or 30% would reduce transmission of covid dramatically... reducing those the roughly 10% of people getting long covid... (ie people that wont be able to work again in their lives!) I worry that this current approach will only make things worse in future... I'll just conclude by commending you on playing your part in reducing vaccine transmission.... Please keep doing these videos :)

[@WastelandFirebird]

Thank you for your nuanced comment. It's so rare nowadays to hear people who think about all sides of an issue. I try to be one of those rare nuanced people, too.
