The Italian Job Resolution

Published by The Stig on April 18th, 2009 - in Top Gear Challenges

Top Gear have pulled out of trying to pull of trying to save the gold and people who stole 3.2 tons of gold from the film The Italian Job.

In the film Michael ‘Your only meant to blow the bloody doors off’ Caine and his crownies hatch a superb plan to steal gold only to be thwarted by childish behaviour. There bus full of gold ends up being half off a cliff nearly about to fall off. The end of the film shows Michael Caine announces ‘Hang on a minute lads, I have an Idea’.

Well what was this idea? No body knows. So the royal society of chemistry announced a task on how to get all men and gold off the bus within 30 minutes ad not to use a helicopter.

An IT manager beat 2,000 people with an idea that Top Gear decided they wanted to try out. The idea was,

Firstly, four windows should be smashed: two large central windows just ‘airside’ of the pivot should be knocked outwards; then two smaller windows above the twin front axles, inwards.

Then a man should be lowered through the smaller windows to let down the four inflated front tyres, which Mr Goodwin said were acting as “springs” and exaggerating the rocking motion.
