Refreshed by lunch the drivers carry on to the two wheel test.
It's
alright for those who have time to stop for wine and food (Gerry).
We have been working hard on the 2 wheel requirement.
We shall use the steering wheel and the spare.
All road wheels have been removed and the spare mounted horizontally underneath
the vehicle. A stream of hot air - gathered, with great ease, from various management
and political meetings around the area - will be directed through this 'nozzle'
in sufficient quantity to raise the vehicle the height of 6 pain aux raisins
above the ground. (Choccy ones would melt in the desert) Steering will be with
the steering wheel using the front wheel hubs as rudders. This, of course, will
mean that the vehicle will have to travel backwards. This way we can watch all
the other competitors who will be behind us anyway!! We shall use the trafficators
as fine tuning on tight turns and would hope, after a bit of practice, to get
the turning circle down to a radius of a string of 602 toulouse sausages.
The great thing about this method is that there is an endless supply of hot air
throughout the world. If a shortage occurs one can just pop into the nearest
office or local political rally with a portable hot air bag or two under the
flak jacket.
