The tyres on the bug wont last more than 15mins going at full-speed.

I believe its "At this speed the tires will wear out in 50 minutes. But not to worry, because the petrol runs out in 12"

Something like that...
You sure it's 50? not 15? hmm... might go back n check out the video.


EDIT - hmm... couldnt make out if he was saying 50 or 15. Anyways, nevermind what I said... if any mod can delete my previous post in this thread... that'd be great

I saw this air on UK TV about 4 weeks ago, and I have the download of that episode and can attest to it being 50mins.
