TEAM GERMANY EPISODE 2
THE LAST DAY
I'm looking for Vera.
She's sitting over there.
You're Vera, aren't you?
That's me!
It's great to meet you.
I've obviously heard a lot about you. How you doing?
I'm nervous already.
So you're already a bit nervous
Yes, but I'm also quite eager with excitement.
I'm ready to get rid of my car and want to win a new one.
Yep, makes sense. And do you know what,
I've not seen your car yet and I'd really like to.
Will you show it to me?
That's your car?
So, I don't want to offend you but it looks pretty old.
It is.
How old exactly? I'm proud to say it's 17 years old.
So tell me what's wrong with it.
The indicators work well depending on the weather
in damp weather not so well!
So there are three hubcaps, and one's missing.
It went missing one time and then nine months later I found it
and now it's gone missing again.
And you're obviously someone who
how shall we say it, likes close contact with other things!
Look at your car, did you not notice?!
Ha, ha!
OK, so what do you want to do
with your car on your very last day together?
Do you know that series from the 80s
"Agent with heart" and other action series like that?
I'd really like to … look I'll show you …
I'd really like to go down a narrow street
then do a handbrake turn and speed off.
We'll go somewhere out of town where there's a bit more space.
Let's do it.
Great, I'm looking forward to it.
Apart from parking, you're a good driver.
So what'll happen if you mess it up?
Ah that won't happen. I'll practice until I can do it.
The car might pack up in the meantime, but I won't give up.
Oh, it's really tense.
I've got tissues with me.
I think I'll need them soon. Yep, you've almost got me going!
- Vera, we're here. - Aha.
This is the place where the magic happens.
Right, before we go any further, first you need to soak up the atmosphere here.
Right, I'm going to turn the wheel to the right.
What's going to happen to the car?
Will it spin this way or will it spin like ... the back wheels won't spin.
- Are you bricking it? - A bit, yes.
- You've got this. - Nope.
- I believe in you. - Thanks.
Right, get in the car and just give it a go.
Vera! Vera!
Right, engine on, I'm still in neutral, and now I need to give it my full concentration.
Off we go!
Your hair looks fine. That wasn't 180 degrees.
OK, sorry, sorry.
OK, I'd say that was 180 degrees.
- Esther? - What?
- I think we're ready. - Can I get in?
- Come on! Are you ready? - I'm ready.
Let's go!
Who'd have thought that my car could do that?
- You've done it! - Oh man, that's amazing.
- But I'm afraid to say ... - Noooooo!
- ... that was your last big adventure ... - Nooooooo! - ... with your car.
- The scrapheap is looming. - Noooooo!
- I'm afraid it is. - We're done?
Yep. It's going to be emotional.
But it was an amazing last hurrah.
It was definitely worth it. And now you know how to do it.
