    Nah... you need Campag Record...

    Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the gears, eleven, eleven, eleven and...

    Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most gears go up to ten?

    Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.

    Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's faster? Is it any faster?

    Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one faster, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be spinning at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your bike. Where can you go from there? Where?

    Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

    Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

    Marty DiBergi: Put it in eleven.

    Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One faster.

    Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten faster and make ten be the top number and make that a little faster?

    Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
