[While test driving the XF15OZK-4]
[voiceover] Having mastered the gearbox, it was time to open up the single-cylinder 12-horsepower engine.
[Both Jeremy and James lean back unwillingly & repeatedly every time Jeremy speeds up]
The acceleration just... is blinding! It's like a safety device. You accelerate too hard, your feet come off the pedal.
Hold on to your spine. [over rough roads] Ah!
I mean, 2004, this car was launched.
If I'd shown this to you and asked you when it was built, when would you have said?
1957.
I would say it was older than me.
Yeah.
[over rough roads] Ow! Ow!
Poor quality!
Come on, redeeming feature, James. There must be a redeeming feature.
Uh... It's character-building.
No, 'cause I mean this...
[Engine suddenly dies]
Oh, no!
[after failing to restart the engine] I think our test drive's over.
