Whey up! So BMW Hot tub for the Google advert. Did we really fill it up for the first time and
I've no issues? mm! not quite! Secret test in between takes on the actual video we fill it up,
we're gonna take it for a sneaky little drive. You won't see this in the proper video because
I'd obviously don't want to give away what driving it's like until the last one. But you
know we've got to try anyway. It's a good job we're not filming this for the proper video,
we've left one of the plugs open, so we got water all over the place and Rick's not put
the seat bolts in, so look, look at it! It's gushing out! This is supposed to be our big test!
There we are look, Ricks just wafting the warmer water round to the driver's
side. Under normal circumstances this would be an absolute crisis wouldn't it!
The cars full of water Mary! Mary the car! Who's Mary? What do you think little man? "Is
the steering wheel going to get damp? It might get a little bit dumb yeah! (laughing and engine rev)
Right, got a bit more water to go yet! So hour and twenty minutes later,
she's full she's ready for a spin!
(laughing) It's like driving a boat but is no sea!
So all going really well, having a right laugh, and then the engine died. And you can see by
the look on my face I was completely miffed! I'm like 'why have I got white smoke and why
is the engine dead. the two things shouldn't be connected. All the waters inside the car,
how's it getting in the engine? Well, seems I've made a small oversight didn't I!
We definitely had a... oh my God the camera lenses is covered! So we've had
a small issue. Waters been getting in the back of the year the brake master cylinder,
and then the vacuum system on it has been pumping water into the engine.
So every time I put my foot on the brake, loads of water in the engine,
Q white smoke, engine struggling to fire, but at least we know that now. So we've took the
vacuum pipe off, but of course this will make the brakes terrible and apparently there's a
little 12-volt vacuum pump that you can put on these things because of course people that do
off-roading and go driving through rivers would have the same problem. So hopefully
they're gonna come to our rescue, I'm gonna ring someone up and he's gonna go 'oh yeah, yeah,
I've got some of those, there like £5, come and pick one up!' and I'll be like 'yeah, ok then'.
Plan of attack for the brakes got ourselves an electric vacuum pump, so we don't have to worry
about pumping water into the engine anymore! That's the solution for that. Makes a bit of
a racket but if it works who cares. Now one thing you didn't see in any of the construction videos
is how we got the water to come out the vents. Basically a little 12-volt submersible pump,
that will dip in the water in the car, and then we run an extra live up to a switch,
which I I'll connected up somewhere in the dashboards, not actually done it yet,
This is my first test, so I'll see if it actually works. We've got some little plumbing in the back,
there's like a bit of hose pipe going up to that one,
some little T pieces and bits and bobs in this one,
I've not bothered with this one over here because I didn't want the part
to get in the way of me trying to get the dashboard back in,
and also that's like the dark corner on the video, you don't really film that that much.
Right, let's give it a test! Shove you in here.
There we are, Id
have turned the heaters on, and it'll all gush out that one, yeah!!
That was the effect I was looking for! So that, that's passed that'll go in the car!
I'm cruising in my Spa Car! we're on the way up to the airfield to give it like a proper test, w
We don't want the Goggle boys turning up and something weird happens when you actually
drive it properly, so suspensions a bit funny, You tend to jump around a little bit more, the servo
things not working particularly well, the brakes are marginally better, but still quite terrible.
don't open the door!
(laughing)
This is the future mate! No need to go home for a bath! Drive home and your clean
Now one thing I particularly should address for this video, is I too am an e30 lover! I have a
325i sport, very good condition one, and I would never chop that one up, this one was the worst
convertible one I could find at the time that ran, so you know I tried my best to get the dogís car
that was out there, and it wasn't too bad, I mean the back was rotten as anything but once
we started peeling away the inside tub we know it was ok, it was acceptable which is a good thing
for this because we're trying to weld it up. Another thing the burgers unbelievably did
actually cook at speed, cuz I didn't expect them to. I thought either the gas will
get blown out or the heat just won't be able to get to them because your moving, but it did!
Rick did actually cook the burgers while I was driving along. Then of course I drove up
really quickly and slop water all over them! One last thing the YouTube Red series which
started the other week, is actually for kids, because you know, when they first come to me,
I'd just released a kids book, it's all come out at the same time, they'd complement each other,
but there we are, don't worry about it, the normal videos on the normal channel will continue as
usual. That will not stop. There we go! right oh and Carl the drone guy, he did a behind the
scenes video of making the spar car video and the Google video, so you can go and see that.
click the box at the end and then if you don't know what I'm on about and
want to see the other videos that's in this clickable box. (brriii) I don't
know why I'm talking like that, totally unnecessary. Right I'm going
to stand here for the 20 seconds of these screeny boxes things could elapse
