This is your beautiful car.
Wow. Look at his car.
Wow.
- [Friend] 1963, a guy called
Bruce Myers from California.
He's a boat builder and surfer,
designed the bodywork to fit
on a VW Beetle.
And hence the beach waggon.
(shuffling of feet)
- [Friend] Where do you want to put it?
- [Sam] Wow. This is a topless car now,
look at this. Alright, let's go.
- [Friend] Okay.
(car engine rumbles)
- [Sam] This is the best way
to see, Seychelles I bet.
(happy music)
- [Friend] So, you've been an aircraft man.
1974, I worked for Court Line,
which unfortunately went bust.
- [Sam] They had the L-1011,
the BAC ONE Eleven.
- [Friend] Yeah and they were the first company
that done pastel colours. Pinks, yellows.
Then I went to Monarch, Monarch Airlines.
I was there for three years.
And then I spent 30 years with Britannia airways
Which became Thompson Airways,
which is now TUI UK.
No, I'm 66 years old.
- [Sam] Oh, you are very fit.
You are very fit,
because you live in Seychelles
stress-free.
- [Friend] Correct.
We're in a traffic jam in Victoria,
which is the capital.
It's a small little capital, but it's
I like it because it isn't
big grand American style buildings.
[Sam] I felt like it was very
Colonial style building.
Victorian building. Right?
Yeah. Tell us about this.
- [Friend] That was Little Ben
- [Sam] A little Ben?
- [Friend] Replicate of Big Ben, from London.
- [Sam] Yeah, that's tiny Little Ben.
So after some climb and some drive
we found this spot here
on the hill and you can look
at the whole runway down there and the apron.
So this is a little more exciting
for me than sitting around the pool and beach.
The traffic is a little slow, but it's beautiful.
The setting is amazing.
So there's quality spotting here.
(plane engine roars)
- [Sam] So we were out spotting here
and there's a man stopped by, say he knows me.
- [Driver] Yeah. 'cause I follow you,
as I like planes.
- [Sam] Really?
- [Driver] Yeah
- [Sam] So he's
- [Driver] Yeah I look into the distance,
and say this guys Sam Chui
just got to ask him, you know.
- [Sam] Yeah,
now I'm going to come to your house.
It was a really steep this hill,
but you can see the whole airport.
Oh nice.
- [Driver] And, I know it's Sam
because I follow him and he wants to
to have a look at the planes down there,
for him to put on his blog.
- [Father] What blog?
- [Sam] Facebook, Yeah.
Like a video, like a video. Yeah.
It's really high up the hill.
You see terminal and a amount of tree lines.
Beautiful view.
What sort of ancestry you have?

Look at this. Yeah. This is the way to do work.
Such a beautiful upgrade.
And they told me this is the last room available.
I'm only staying here one night,
now I'm hating myself.
Why don't I stay longer?
