Nanny laughs at the prospect of racing Arabella but says there is no race because old cars aren't to be raced, but to be loved for. After Nanny turns the boys challenge of a race down they ask their father who also says he agrees with Nanny. He suggests another way to have a race...using the computer program he has been working on. The bully boys father says his Buckingham will beat Arabella even through the computer race.
