1:38:02
But, uh... have you
ever worked as a mechanic?
1:38:06
- Yeah. In my father's garage, yeah.
- As a mechanic?
1:38:13
What'd you do in your father's garage?
1:38:16
Tune-ups, oiI changes, brake reIining,...
1:38:19
..engine rebuiIds, rebuiIds on trannies...
1:38:22
OK. OK. But does being an ex-mechanic
quaIify you as being expert on tyre marks?
1:38:28
No. Thank you. Goodbye.
1:38:31
Sit down and stay there
untiI you're toId to Ieave.
1:38:37
Your Honour. Miss Vito's expertise
is in generaI automotive knowIedge.
1:38:42
It is in this area
that her testimony wiII be appIicabIe.
1:38:45
Now, if Mr Trotter wishes
to voir dire the witness...
1:38:49
..as to the extent of
her expertise in this area,...
1:38:52
..I'm sure he's gonna
be more than satisfied.
1:38:57
OK.
1:39:00
AII right. AII right.
1:39:03
Now, uh... Miss Vito.
1:39:06
Being an expert on
generaI automotive knowIedge,...
1:39:11
..can you teII me...
1:39:14
..what wouId the correct ignition
timing be on a 1955 BeI Air ChevroIet,...
1:39:19
..with a 327 cubic-inch engine,...
1:39:22
..and a four-barreI carburettor?
1:39:24
- That's a buIIshit question.
- Does that mean that you can't answer it?
1:39:28
It's impossibIe to answer.
1:39:30
- Because you don't know the answer!
- Nobody couId answer that question.
1:39:34
Your Honour, I move to disquaIify
Miss Vito as a expert witness.
1:39:39
- Can you answer the question?
- No. It is a trick question.
1:39:43
Why is it a trick question?
1:39:46
- Watch this.
- Cos Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55.
1:39:49
The 327 didn't come out tiII '62.
1:39:51
And it wasn't offered in the BeI Air
with a four-barreI carb tiII '64.
1:39:55
However, in 1964 the correct ignition timing...
1:39:58
..wouId be four degrees
before top, dead centre.
