1. Sprinter Prep (Part 2)

A real home-spun effort from the midlands with an in-house production of how to prep one of the new fangled Sprinter type things. Noddy Holder narrates a surly instructor showing how to prep a 150 by swishing a cane at various items in a manner that would have Max Moseley purring like Goebbels.
The narrator tries to maintain a posh Brummie accent, but is betrayed by such words as "hydrostatic oil level" where his tone goes from Upper Edgbaston to down town Bordesely in one scientific description. He seems to give up completely by the time he gets to "manual fire extinguisher pull 'andle".
There does seem to be some sort of Etches Park local agreement whereby they get a technology payment every time they say "in line with the pipe", a phrase this video manages an impressive 24 times.
It has to be said that if this is how long it took them to prep a unit, then no wonder BR went for flexible rostering as after this prep, there wouldn't be any time for any productive work in a 7:24 shift.
Of note is when he is getting deep down and dirty with the spigot for the front emergency adapter coupler. In the background is one of the Met Cam 151s, a case of what could have been on the Basingstoke branch.....
