    Same here. The laws of Physics haven't changed while I was napping, did they? [runs off to test hypothesis]

    WHAM!

    Nope. You still can't slide up a banister. Still can fall off, though.

    It did look slightly dodgy, but it's possible. You could put weights in them,

    I have the movie in my HD. Notice how the tyres accelerate as they go up. This proves that the tyres were weighted in the right fashion to provide uphill movement.

    A few things may have been fudged but in the end who cares? It's still an awesome ad that displays the use of physics excellently.

    Remember Guys...

    "An object will remain at rest or in constant motion unless acted upon by an external force"

    "F=MxA"

    "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"

    Apply those laws to that demonstration and I bet it cant be faulted.

    The exhaust rolling across the floor is CG....the studio was too small to fit the entire thing at once.
    Why does everyone say its one take?

    BTW...if you didnt see the tires go up the ramp...watch again.
    Its just wieghts balancing until the tire is bumped, they pull the tire foreward (and up)

    I don't care if old. I haven't seen it and I thought it totally rocked. I once built a device myself (ended up just to destroy a lego house) <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That advert remains to be one of the favourites I've ever seen on British TV.
