Daniel and Alex from Car Throttle trading insults

transcript below the cut, because it’s a bit hard to hear:

D: you’re a dickhead [laughs]

A: i wish you an average race…

D: do you actually feel wheezy?

A: i did feel a little bit sick, yeah, but maybe that’s because i don’t really like you, i actually wanted to be in [nico’s] car, but they said i had to be with you

D: [laughs] yeah, yeah

A: i’m serious, everyone’s laughing

D: well, to be fair, you can tell he’s been at renault for longer, because he’s definitely driven something like this before. he got up to speed quick-

A: yeah, he’s slightly better

D: but by the end, i was like ‘what’s up’

A: what’s up, what’s up bro, what’s up homie

D: yeah, yeah

A: alright, well this is daniel ricciardo, it was, uh, it was-

D: it was terrible meeting you

A: yeah, no, it’s fairly average, my expectations were low, and you didn’t disappoint

D: no worries

A: so yeah, i’m serious, it’s been good, thank you very much man, i hope to maybe see you again one day

D: hopefully not! [laughs]

A: okay, cool, and on that note, it’s been awesome, bye bye! [exits car] well, he’s very rude, isn’t he, he’s a very rude young man, mr. daniel ricciardo, but fuck me can he drive!

There was a time when the car community was united and got excited over stupid shit. Three years later, I still laugh hard at this video I made about it
