Clog Car - How Many Motorized Shoes Are Getting About Out There? · Lisa & Russell

  Speaker 1: Records are set to be broken, but you do have
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to ask why some records are set in the first place.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And this is a case in point. This happened two
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: days before the Dutch Grand Prix, the recent one over
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the weekend.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. A Dutch TV host drove a clog-shaped vehicle at
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the high speed of 70 miles an hour, so about
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: 112 kilometres per hour.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: That's pretty quick.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: A clog.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: For a clog. A clog on wheels. There was a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: guy called Klaus van Kroestrum, and his TV series Klaus
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: can do everything.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And he certainly put that to the test.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Evidently.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: But they did need a little bit of help. So
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: they reached out to a British guy by the name
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of Kevin Nix. Now, if you reckon a clog's stupid,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: he had previously set the record for the fastest motorised
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: garden shed. Who needs a shed that moves? The fastest.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: What, do you drive the shed to Bunnings?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yes. Load it up and drive it home? Just pack
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it all in.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't have to unpack when I get home.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I have so many questions. You say this guy broke
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: the record, but was there a record to be broken
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: or did he set the record? How many giant motorised
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: shoes are getting about out there to set records?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. But the speed was enough to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: earn the Guinness World Records title for the fastest motorised
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: clogged shoe. More than anything, I want to know what
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he beat. Which... Which leaves it open for another record,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: like the fastest motorised sandal?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Croc.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Croc?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Well, croc looks like a.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Speedy sketches?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: A clog looks like a croc, just without the holes, really.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it is.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: It's definitely a croc. But just as well, Klaus was
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the one driving, not another Dutchman, Max Verstappen.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Who put his Red Bull into the wall on the first...
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Lap of the Dutch Grand Prix a couple of days later.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: A couple of days.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: No, he wouldn't want to crash the clog.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: No. And lucky it wasn't Oscar's team at McLaren servicing
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the clog either.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: No. Otherwise. Bring your clog in and let Lando's clog.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Lando's put his clog into the wall. Oscar, can you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: do the same for us, mate?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Anyway, there it is. It is the record for the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: fastest motorised clog shoe in the world.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Ours is much more sensible when it comes up today
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: after I ate the most herbs and spices in your pantry.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Come on, Guinness. Lift your standards. Really? Still, records are
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: meant to be broken.
