The guy in the screenshot of the first film looks like David French, therefore, I have to decline.

There is also an old mechanics saying that “if you can’t fix it, duct it” with the “duct” being a stand in word for another useful four letter word.

All I know is there’d be no racing without duct tape - sometimes referred to as “racing tape”. But if you find a regular race car that doesn’t have something duct taped, that car hasn’t been driven.
