Burt. Shut that
bloody thing up.
Do you know what time
it is? Burt!
Burt! You stupid old bastard!
What do you think
you're doing?
Sorry George,
what did you say?
Do you know what time it is?
I'm sorry, I've got a heck
of a lot to get done today.
And you know what they say.
"The early bird catches the worm".
Well, if you do this again,
one more time, I'm calling the cops.
And how about
mowing your lawns?
Is a bloody disgrace
to the neighborhood.
Oh, alright.
Hi, kid.
Here we are, the...
perfect recipe...
two of Chevy...
one of Ford.
I think those '36 Chevy pistons...
must have a touch of titanium
or something in them.
They come up real good,
you know.
Hey the kettle's boiling.
Make yourself useful,
make some tea.
Can we have a biscuit too?
- What?
- Can I have a Gingernut?
Yeah, you know where they are,
help yourself.
Now you stay over there,
stay there.
- Right.
- What are you doing for Christmas, Burt?
Christmas? I don't know.
Why?
Are you angling
for a present or something?
- No, I wondered if you were going away.
- No...
no time for Christmas, lad.
Got a lot of work to do.
test runs this year.
You know, twenty four on the beach
and three on the road.
All illegal like.
I was going a bit over the speed limit,
I'll have to admit.
- How fast were you going?
- I don't know, I haven't a clue.
Thas why I have to get up
to Bonneville.
Found out how fast she will go.
Now, there you go.
Got to get the piston out
of the mould...
and Bob's your uncle.
Right, this is...
the last part
of the operation now.
To chill the metal.
It heat treats it.
Right, watch yourself.
Thas where I got the water
for the kettle from.
Well, you know, it gives the tea
a nice tang of titanium, doesn't it?
Now this bloke,
he once asked me...
"How do you heat treat your pistons?"
And I said:
"I don't, mate"...I just, you know, bung them
in cold water and Bob's your uncle".
And he said:
"Well, thas the heat treatment"...
and he just laughed and
shook his head and walked away like.
Well, look this could be
the perfect piston.
I've made hundreds of them.
Look at them all up there,
all blown to smithereens.
- You made all those?
- Yeah, I did. Look perfect.
Beautiful, no inclusions see?
Now Tommy, does your mother have
a carving knife I could borrow?
Carving knife? Yeah?
Yeah.
I need a good sharp knife.
Hang on.
- Thomas, what are you up to?
- Nothing, Mum.
Can I have some bread
and peanut butter?
Ok, but make sure you put everything
away when you've finished.
Sorry about that.
Tom.
- Don't forget the wood.
- No, Mum.
Right.
I hope to get as much...
rubber off as possible.
It has to be perfectly bald,
like that, you see.
- Why's that?
- Well, at high speed...
the centrifugal force...
expands the tyre and...
it rubs against
the frame of the bike.
Have to be careful not to cut
through the cords though.
- Why do you pee on your lemon tree?
- What?
Why do you pee on your
lemon tree?
- Who says I do that?
- Mum says she sees you...
every morning and
she goes on and on about it.
Does she?
Well, is good for it. You shouldn't
waste anything in this world, sonny.
- Well, I'd better be off home.
- Alright then.
Mum gets a bit cross if
I stay over here too long.
She does.
- Are you finished with the knife?
- Not yet, I'll drop it by later.
