A BLUEBELL GIRLS'
TRAINING SESSION

00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,080
by Jean-Pierre Marchand

00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,480
<i>José Rosinski,</i>
<i>a race car driver,</i>

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,200
<i>saw the Bluebells' training session</i>
<i>at the gym.</i>

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,080
<i>Listen to what he said.</i>

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,320
- What a beauty!
- She's in pretty good shape.

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,400
Is it difficult, José,
to develop such a prototype?

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,440
Difficult?
No.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,240
But you need research departments

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,680
and a number of test benches.

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,800
Those sleek lines
don't come naturally, do they?

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,800
No, no.

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,960
To smooth out the curves,
which is the last step in streamlining,

14
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,600
you need to strip down
again and again,

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,800
within certain limits.

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,040
- What's the latest buzzword in design?
- A pontoon.

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,320
A pontoon.

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,840
What about motors?

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,080
Well, they are both more and more
fragile and powerful.

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,600
We spend a lot of time on fine-tuning.

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,840
- Adjusting the rocker arms?
- Yes.

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,520
- You have to watch the pistons too.
- The pistons.

23
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,200
Absolutely, and check the ignition.

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,280
And adjust the carburetor.

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,680
It's the motor's respiratory system.

26
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,360
That's why the air filter
is so important.

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,200
Ah yes, the air filter.

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,720
In Paris, plugs get clogged up, right?

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Yes, terribly.

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,400
Then, you can't get up to speed.

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,720
Is it important to watch your speed?

32
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,600
- To watch your rpm, yes.
- Sorry.

33
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,720
Anyway, you should always
keep an eye on your dial.

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,440
Otherwise the engine struggles,
starts to bang then calls it a day.

35
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,560
Next she breaks down.

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,720
- Low blood pressure?
- Actually, we say oil pressure loss.

37
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,680
And with these models,
you can encounter suspension troubles.

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,080
Really, the suspension
of such luxury models is rather...

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,880
It'll shake your bones, OK,

40
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,560
but it's still
important for handling the ride.

41
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Oh?

42
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440
Yes.
For an oversteerer, for example...

43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,640
What is an oversteerer?

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,880
Well, that's when the rear
tends to swerve.

45
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:17,640
- Is it good to be an oversteerer?
- It's killer.

46
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,400
Is an oversteerer dangerous?

47
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,000
It depends on the driver.

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,560
- What if the driver doesn't handle it?
- Then, he's a yokel.

49
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,520
A yokel!
How about that?
