can the Wayne's Classy Cars

Aussie Flash

do it again

to make it five in a row?

Look, you'll have to

move that back, sir.

It's too close to the course.

It's where

the people can read it, mate.

Principal sponsor, that's me.

I'm paying for

half this extravaganza,

so if you don't like it,

you can stick it.

Yeah, beautiful.

- You know where to go, right?

- Yeah.

- What's going on?

- I'll meet you there.

There's something I have to do.

Don't worry.

[Bagpipe music]

And we have a new driver

to defend the "Monarch

of the Hill" title here today.

Shannon Worthington

takes over the reins

from his older brother, Shane.

And other hopefuls include

young Greg Shaw,

and 12-year-old...

- Hey, Amanda.

- Hi, Ben.

How's it going?

Good. Good.

I'm really

looking forward to the dance.

Yeah, me too.

So you like to watch

Tahuna Falls?

Oh, yeah.

It's my favorite.

You too?

Nah.

All those people

talking about their feelings

- and then they kiss?

- Oh.

- Jeff does, though.

- Jeff?

Yeah, he loves it.

Watches it all the time.

Crazy.

- Anyway, better go.

- Yeah.

I'll see you at the dance.

Got to win a trolley race first,

though.

Yeah. Good luck!

[Exhales]

Stewie.

Don't "stewie" me, Walker.

I've been doing

some investigating.

Ew.

Turns out you don't have

a paper round at all.

Slug.

How did you think

you were gonna pay me back?

I will.

By winning the trolley race.

What?

There's a $500 first prize.

Oh. Okay then.

Slug, let him go.

Huh?

What do you think I am?

An idiot?

Do I look like I'd rest my money

on you winning some race?

Do I have "gullible"

written all over my face?

Do I, slug?

Um...

The loan agreement

is cancelled.

I want my money back now.

Hey, what are you doing?

That's my bike!

[Splash]

I don't have your money.

I bought wheels for my cart.

Hurt him, slug.

Hey, look! It's Richie McCoy!

Both:
Huh?

- Ugh!

- Ow!

Both:
Ah!

Get him, slug! Get him!

Go! Go!

[Girls yelling indistinctly]

Walker!

Ugh!

Walker! Get down here, now!

Slug, we got him.

See ya!

You little...

- Oi!

- Sorry.

Ah!

[Splat]

Oi! Get out of here!

[Splash]

We can still get him.

Nah.

I got a better idea.

All trolleys in the pit area

should have their brakes on.

Brakes on, please, drivers.

And a big thanks today

to Stan's sanitation services

for providing the porta-loos.

Stan's sanitation services:

- They're number one for number twos.

- Hey.

Jeff!

You here to buy veggies?

No.

Then what do you want?

I want you back on the team.

Why do you think

I would want to?

'Cause we're mates.

Mates?

Is that what you do

to your mates?

Look, I'm sorry about Amanda.

I don't fancy her.

You do.

She got it wrong.

Who cares?

I do.

I just want us

to be mates again.

I can't do it without you.

Don't we need a trolley?

Got one.

Does that mean...

Teammates?

Why are you so wet?

I'll tell you on the way.

Come on!

Five minutes to heat one,

people.

Five minutes.

Where have you been?

I had to get my pit crew.

Oh, you're soaking.

You cannot wear this... oh.

Hang on.

Put these on.

Thanks.

- How's that?

- It's good.

All right.

Let's get

this kiwi ready to fly.

Mum. Come on.

Okay, boys.

You're over here.

- All right. Just better park this.

- Yep.

- Oh!

- Oh, sorry.

- Sorry.

- Hi.

Hi, I just came down

to support the team.

Go, Ben!

And everyone.

Hey, you should be

really proud of him, you know?

He's certainly

got his act together.

I know.

And you really saved the day

with those wheels.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

Right.

Yeah, okay.

[Melodic car horn]

Wow, Kiwi Flyer!

Don't you know kiwis can't fly?

Take a good look.

You'll only be seeing it

from the back.

Yeah, right.

You sure you're up for it?

It was a nasty accident you had.

That was no accident.

Stuff 'em.

Both:
Stuff them!

Hey.

- Mr. Lumsden.

- Ben, Jeff.

Looking good.

I think you two

can take it from here.

We'll be in the crowd,

yelling when you win.

Love ya, whatever happens.

Heat one is about to start.

Clear the grid, please.

Clear the grid, please.

Let's watch. Come on.

On your marks.

We are racing in three, two,

one.

[Air horn blares]

Give 'em a big round

of applause, folks.

They're on the way!

And so it's Speed Demon

by a whisker

followed by Camo,

and in third place,

Mean Machine.

And if that's anything to go by,

we should see some record times

on the course today.

Competitors for the second heat,

assemble on the grid, please.

[Air horn blares]

Give a round of applause, folks,

they're on the way!

[Cheers and applause]

Oh! And that's why

we've got the hay bales.

That's the entry from

independent tax consultants.

And I don't need an accountant

to tell me that's a write-off.

The lineup for heat three

is N.A.C.,

Ferrari, Mercedes,

and keep an eye on

the mean machine.

And race three is under way.

Ladies and gentlemen,

looks like an early lead

for the red rocket.

Get ready for face four.

Yeah, sure.

I've just been handed a note.

"Mr. Hugh Jass."

Could Hugh Jass please report

to the Saint John's tent?

That's...

[Laughter]

Competitors for heat four,

onto the start grid now, please.

Oi, come on.

We better watch this.

Keep to the left.

It's the fastest line.

The left.

Yoo-hoo! Shannon!

Show them what a winner

looks like, son!

Racer two, Aussie Flash,

the favorite...

- Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!

- Oi, oi, oi!

[Both cheering]

Get out of the way.

Ah, what are ya?

[Air horn blares]

Put your hands together,

ladies and gentlemen.

Give 'em

lots and lots of support.

This is heat number four,

with the Aussie Flash,

Wayne's Classy Cars,

off to an early lead.

The green and gold

rockets down the hill!

And it's Wayne's Classy Cars

by a country mile!

They'll be as happy

as a flea at a dog show

with that performance.

Clearly the team

to beat here today.

Pretty fast.

Heat five, the final heat.

Competitors to the start line,

please.

Come on, then.

Heat five is about to start.

Clear the grid, please,

for heat five.

Steeper than

the practice hill.

Steeper. Faster.

Here we go with heat five.

On your marks.

In three, two, one.

[Air horn blares]

And they're off,

with Kiwi Flyer,

off to a noisy start.

Lots of applause and cheering.

Arms in the air!

Give him some applause!

Kiwi Flyer,

a hit at the spirit

of Burt Munro!

Kiwi Flyer's literally flying!

Looks like the trolley to beat

in this particular heat.

Go, Kiwi Flyer!

Yes!

[Cheers and applause]

And the results

from that final heat,

Kiwi Flyer in first place.

Build session two in second...

Good work, mate.

You're in the semi-final.

Get your trolley on the shuttle.

Thanks.

[Truck engine humming]

[Creaking]

[Exhales]

[Clunking]

Mate! Nice ride.

Felt good.

Good work, boys.

Thanks.

There you go.

Cheers.

Okay, now, take it easy.

Real easy.

Watch the duco.

The paintwork cost me a fortune.

Hey.

There's no rockets there!

We'll be sweet!

It's yours to win!
