Fantastic, glad I could help. I actually uploaded this so that the admins at my school (the Defense Language Institute) could use it as a piece showcasing the need for accurate translations versus word-for-word.
Having had personal experience of driving a veteran car through London when other road users don’t give you any space or foolishly think you can stop like they can, I can sympathise completely. I always describe stopping a veteran car as towing a caravan with your modern car and only use half of the handbrakes full stopping power to stop the vehicle. What’s worse, is your thinking your going to crash but it’s all happening at around 20mph. I loved this clip.
How old are we talking? It's common sense in a car with drum brakes you need more time to stop. I have a 1998 dodge Durango and it has drum brakes - more modern ones than on a 40s, 50s, 60s car - but still. It will whine and roll with the pedal mashed down on rainy days. Just give yourself another 5ft stopping distance and decelerate before reaching the car.
Brem I bet you’re fun at parties 😂 even if the roads of are closed, I still wouldn’t want to hit that T-Junction in top gear after I’d just pushed rapidly at the crowbar of embrayage without brutality
I've driven a 1909 international harvester auto wagon and it was similar to this. One of the best things I ever got to do in life I drove it in 2009 when it turned 100 with my grandpa
Mr Gavin Morgan (90 years old) had this car in his Netley workshop for repair in Adelaide, South Australia. He was able to make missing engine as per manufacturer's drawing. Amazing. I made photos of that car approximately 15 years ago.
This could be a good name for some anime as well. Something like "Crowbars of Embroyage: the instruments of judgement (season 2)" sounds completely legit to me.
Since I didn't see it mentioned in the comments, I thought I'd point out that there's a specific way to hold the crank when hand starting an engine so it doesn't cause injury. Perhaps the most important part of which is to not wrap your thumb around it, so that you're not hanging on to it if the engine whips it around when it starts.
1:14 i really wanted to know if they rented a horse, put it there, timed the car to go through that road and filmed it so just they could deliver the line..
Nah. Just cameramen/producers setting up the gag. Editing and commentary added after. What landowner would be happy for them to randomly bring along a horse to their field for the sake of a 3-second joke. Too much hassle for them to get the horse, pay the cost and transport it there and back too.
