" Hello and welcome aboard
Toastrack, the most powerful (!) 1929
bus on the road today.
Oh yeah, full of power!
Oh, we will soon be stopping at
traffic lights where I will show
you the procedure for pulling
off. Before that I will show you
how to stop. Which is a very easy
method with the brake pedal.
-You're just going to do a little
disco dance on the floor.
Going to do a bit of tripple
(double) de-clutching.
-Informative and exciting!
I've got: brake, gas, clutch. Gear
lever in the right hand,
Handbrake, and handbrake over
here.
First gear.. not always nessesary
but it's always fun. Oh!! I'm going over!
The lights have changed, but I don't
care, I want to get home!
Hello Mandy if you're watching.
top gear, just like that. Top
speed of 30 which we'll get to in
20 minutes.
-What's the in-flight movie?
Speed! "
