Jeremy, Director and others in “November 22nd, 2009”

[Attempting to get their home-made car road certified]

Jeremy

Let's move on, and do the Pendulum Test. This is designed to measure how well a car will stand up to being sideswiped by a bus or a truck.

[The test is demonstrated on a Ford Fiesta, which is almost totally destroyed by the pendulum's impact]

Jeremy

Frankly it was hard to see how we could possibly pass this, but then James came up with a plan. [The three are shown standing by their car, which is sitting next to the lowered pendulum] A plan that would fool even the most astute EU bureaucrat.

Director

Action!

Jeremy

Wow!

James

Wow!

Richard

Wow!

[The three run away from the car, backwards, and the pendulum is raised up and away from the car]

Richard

Tuo kool!

Jeremy

So, now our car is going to face the fearsome Pendulum Test.

[The preceding sequence is played in reverse; the pendulum appears to fall towards the car]

Richard

[slurred] Look out!

[The pendulum appears to hit the car without doing any damage at all. The three presenters run towards it]

Richard

Wow?

James

Wow?

Jeremy

Wow? [voiceover] Wow, indeed. Another pass!
