I hate to admit it but I think James won that race. His cake was almost save-able till he started tinkering with it.

[@heisdeadjim]

Have to agree. Captain Slow wins.

[@0nkelD0kt0r]

He wins cause he got a Scania anyway. Jeremy once said that there is two types of lorry drivers: Those who own a Scania and those who want to own a Scania.

I think its something to do with the Renualt and the ERF don't actually have seatbealts. No idea why the don't but I think it has something to do with when they were built and that the rules and regulations at the time meant that they didn't need seatbelts.

[@dontsqueezethecheese]

Except as the whole thing's staged and scripted, he did.

[@bestieswithtesties]

@@dontsqueezethecheese Not Everything is staged and scripted. A lot of things are. And a lot of things just happen naturally. It was probably scripted that he would lose the car, but they probably just had him stop so someone could go loosen/open the hatch and then told him to keep driving. He almost certainly realized it fell out at some point and then was pretending that he didn't know, but when asked where it was he genuinely did not know which is why he had a genuine reaction.

[@earlofsmeg]

@@b.m.r221 Question: Why is it named lorry? Why such a pussy name for a truck?

[@earlofsmeg]

@Bilal Khalid No. A truck can't be SUV. A truck is pick up truck. Dodge RAM, Chevy avalanche and so on. Those are PICK UP trucks. We only say it short for a pickup truck, a truck. Still a pussy name for a truck.

[@fredsmith9714]

@Bilal Khalid yeah in America we call 40 ft to 53' trailers semi's or 18 wheeler, and the engined part is a tractor. The smaller trailers and cab connected cargo vehicles might just be called truck or box truck, cargo truck/van. So you may not confuse large personal vehicles with commercial shipping, you don't seem to differentiate between the size of the lorries.

[@mcearl8073]

JCs truck looks pretty badass I must say the way it's all blacked out. I wouldn't mind having it to occasionally drive around in.

0:12 our lorry (DAF XF 510) has a button that basically uses the clutch as a parking brake. When it hits a certain amount of stress (because you press the throttle) it releases and you just take off without rolling backward down the hill.

mind these are like 90's early 2000 lorries. no fancy tech and you most likely have to double clutch
