"If he's American, it's probably going to be something huge and unwieldy and incapable of turning corners," Jeremy said. "It'll be a pickup truck. He's going to turn up in a pickup truck and say, 'There you go, you can race in that!'" With an aural equivalent of squinting, it might have been recognisable as an attempt at an American accent. "It's not going to be faster than a car."
"It is, okay?" Richard insisted. "He said it'd be able to beat any car."
"But he didn't tell you what it was?" James asked.
"That's why he told me to come here. He wanted me to see it."
Jeremy raised his eyebrows. "It all sounds like a plan to get you into bed to me."
Richard glared and, his attention distracted from keeping his feet to the pavement, wandered a little way out into the road. "Oh, ha-ha. Why'd he ask me to bring you two along as well, then?"
"I don't want to think about it." Jeremy followed Richard's unsteady pacing with his eyes. "How many did you have, Hammond?"
"Don't know. A few."
Jeremy's retort was abruptly cut off when he found himself two hundred feet in the air with no visible means of support.
