Armin Hierstetter - The One with the Lemons and Melons!

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by Voxbox, Armin Hierstetter joins Sam and Mark to talk about creating a performance for fast cars (when the pictures really do the talking), cooking, and some very naughty adult things... plus Sam has a top kitchen tip for you!

Our VO question this week is all about the common mistakes people make when auditioning on Pay-2-Play sites.

Script 1

Take cooking. We all have to rustle up a meal. At one end of the scale, there's scrambled eggs on toast (which is a small step up from a pot noodle) and at the other end, there's that tricky Ottolenghi recipe that you might try to whip up on a free weekend. But if we really want to push the boat out, then we head to a restaurant and get the experts to cook up something special. Getting it right is important - and that gives us the chance to choose the perfect solution.

Script 2

Bilsterberg is a modern racetrack in northern Germany. Over a 4.2 km stretch with 19 challenging curves, you can improve your skills and test the potential of your car and accessories. You don't find spectator stands here, it's all about driving, not watching.

The Porsche Cayman with its 4-cylinder engine is a quite underrated car. Let's see how it performs on track.

The Manhart MH2 GRT is challenging for tyres on a racetrack - due to its relatively high weight and its enormous power.
