Original subtitles

Yay!

That was actually a really significant day,

and the social media bit brings that to life and shares it.

I have done amazing ambassadorial work so much so...

(CLEARS THROAT)Ooh. Oh, yeah, look at that.

We'd be delighted to give you the next vehicle,

which needs a little bit of the Hammond TLC.

Let's make it happen.

After four roller-coaster years

in the classic car restoration business...

That worked. I'm gonna claim I thought of everything.

..it seems I've finally cracked it.

Happy customer. That's a good feeling.

We've dragged our PR department...

You've got to get your asses over here damn quick.

..into the 21st century.

Our reach on that day was 317,000 people.

And as brand ambassador...

If you happen to have a car in the UK ever -

..I'm leading the charge.

Ho-ho! This is brilliant.

At least that's what I thought...

If you've overpromised...Yeah.

..you can't under-deliver.

..until my mum arrived.

They won't listen to me. They'll listen to me.

And it turns out that once again I'm in deep trouble.

I'm gonna have to do something. Something big.

Oh, my God!

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

HAMMOND: Right now, it's good times.

The workshop is buzzing.

Everybody's rungs are falling into place.

Me as the ambassador just back from Jordan.

It's a slow burn, but work will come from there.

Lewis's job in social media,

it's making a difference, and we've got great cars

in the shop to work on.

And because I'm living that bit closer to work now,

I get to dig out my otherwise seldom-used classics

and commute in them. Like this.

1967 Mustang 390GT in Highland Green.

Basically, it is a bullet car.

I've owned it, I don't know, 21 years.

I love it, and I'm going to work in it.

This is actually good. (LAUGHS)

Morning. How's it going with this?

Morning. Yeah, not too bad.Getting there?

We're getting there slowly. Good. Good.

How you doing, Isaac?ISAAC: Good.

That is an Aston Martin Lagonda, really rare car.

It belongs to Rodger Dudding, owner of the largest

private classic car collection in Europe.

Good grief! Aston Martin Lagondas. Wow!

After we repaired one of the more modest cars in his collection...

There was a dent and some damage to the paint on here.

Beautiful work. I can't see it at all.

Rodger and his wife, Emma, entrusted us to repaint

one of their prized Lagondas a classy pink.

Customer care in this game, especially in the case

of high-profile VIP customers like Rodger Dudding

with Europe's biggest car collection, it's about

knowing about their cars, which...

..in this case is quite easy

'cause it's a car you can't help but love.

It's the Aston Martin Lagonda.

So it's a work of a guy called William Towns,

and he produced the DBS, and you can kind of see where he was going.

So he took this, which is all curvaceous

and soft rounded edges and sharpened it up.

And then he obviously decided, "Hey, sharp lines. I like this."

And then he went berserk with his roller

and made this, the Aston Martin Lagonda.

It was a controversial car,

and our car is gonna be even more controversial,

which is where young Lewis comes in.

Lewis!

Yo, you called? Hello. Come in.

Peckish, are you? Right.

I wanted to talk about what I think is an opportunity.

That massive great Aston Martin Lagonda,

the big blue car down there. The quite boring one.

Mate, they were a legendary car.

I mean, I've never seen one before. All right.

But can we make some social media stuff around it?

Wow. Okay. The power of social media is coming into play there.

That's gonna be quite hard. This is why I wanted to talk to you.

Because the owners, they want us to paint it pink.

That's a lot of paint.Yes, imagine several acres of pink.

Okay, that's quite interesting. See?

There's quite a lot of pinks in the world.

What sort of pink? Like a ruby pink or -

All they've said so far is "classy".

Oh, okay.Have a think about that as well.

Have a think about the actual...a classy pink.

Oh, yeah, 'cause you could go quite... you could go deep.

Don't think about it now. Oh, right. Sorry.

Yeah.Think about it somewhere else.

Think about how you can make social media out of this.

Yeah.What shade of pink might work?

We can't... It's their call. Their call.

We're gonna - Give them some options.Yes.

Some cool options.Yes. Take that and your sweeties with you

and think about what you can do. I've got a present for you.

Cheers.

I do enjoy having the energy of youth.

(SCREAMS, LAUGHS) Oh, God.

I do enjoy having the bouncy energy of youth around, but... (CHUCKLES)

..it makes me feel old.

ISAAC: Back a bit.

They're not the lightest doors, are they?

No, I think they're armoured. (CHUCKLES)

This is a massive job because this car is huge.

So everything's taking a bit longer, but it's completely stripped down

and it's completely re-sprayed. So the pressure's on.

It's got to be perfect.

Which way are we going now? Out?Yeah.

Ready?Yeah. (STRAINING) Oh, my God.

Our last door there. Let's have a look at that size.

Can you hear that?It's nice, that is. It's like an hourglass.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, you can see all the rust inside, but...

..can you wait till we start rubbing it down?

Oh, that looks nice.

Half the car's on the floor. It's gone back to nature.

And it virtually turns to sand.

Look. You can see it's just disappearing.

Should we stop scratching? 'Cause there's gonna be nothing left.Yeah.

Classic cars, we love them.

HAMMOND: This used to be my secret storage barn

where I stored all my personal cars, but, well, I thinned them out.

I had to sell a load to keep the business going.

But what it needs to become is our waiting room

with cars waiting to go into the workshop.

So I need to clear space. And this is where I'm gonna start.

My dearest friend Les, we restored his Riley

at the workshop, the best part two years ago.

I haven't got around to returning it to him.

That sounds like an excuse to go to the Lake District.

So I'm delivering this back to him and Izzy's coming with.

Do we tell him about the surprise tomorrow?

Do you know, I think we keep it a secret.

Yeah.I'm excited

No, because then he'll be so excited he won't sleep tonight.(LAUGHS)

I met Les when I first came here to Buttermere.

I was just 17. I fell in love with the place.

And we've been friends ever since.

Leslie!LES: Ey up, it is.

Hi.Long time no see.

Hello.How're you doing, sweetheart?

Nice to see you.Hey, mate.

Come here. How are you? Long time no see.

(SIGHS) Monica, hello, Ted, how are you? Hello.

Ah. You actually have my car, man?

Yes. We have brought it finally. Fantastic.

Erm, just an idea.Yeah. Can I leave it on?

We've had an idea for something to do tomorrow

that you'll enjoy. And I think it needs doing.

Right. Good.For which it needs to stay here for now.

Okay.And if we were to sidle broadly pub-wards...

Yes...I'd be much happier. I know where that is.

Why don't we go there?We'll do. The dog can come.

Let's take the giant hound with us. Yes.(CHUCKLES)

Okay, Izzy, have you ever milked a cow before, love?IZZY: Never.

Let's bat on and do it. Let's do it.

Hello, cow. This is Jasmine.

Hello, Jasmine. You hold it upside down,

and then put those on. Yeah?

You're gonna go do that. Am I? Okay.Yeah, yeah.

That's it.

How's Dad doing, love?

He's all right. Yeah, he's good.Yeah?

I think he's very happy to be in Buttermere.Yeah.

It's his favourite place in the entire world.

It's nice for me to come down. I haven't been here in...

I haven't seen you for years. ..three years?Yeah.

Three years, I think it's been. And how's Mum?

She's good. She's good. Yeah. She's all right. Good.

Les is the most chilled-out human being I know.

He's so relaxed. He's so kind.

I think this is one of the reasons why

Rich loves coming down here so much.

Seeing someone like Les, who just is so down to earth,

so genuine, they can just sit and chat

for hours about nothing or everything,

which I think for Rich is really nice to have.

Good morning, sir. Morning, chief.Hello.Right.

So the plan for today is, erm...Yes.

..you know, M-Sport, the motorsport place...Yes.

Oh, yeah. Cockermouth. ..just over there? Yes. Right.

Well, we had a bit of an idea. Right.We did.Yeah.

You'd probably quite like to go there 'cause -

Have you been?No. Never. It's really cool

'cause they've built a test drive, like, brand new.

It's amazing. And we've got you permission

to take that around and give it a shake-down.Really?

Yeah.Oh, wow! So, you can just -

I didn't see that one. We're going on the track.

(ALL LAUGH) So, we're gonna go to M-Sport and then you can

get that off and give it a proper shake-down, see how it feels.

Do you wanna have a go, Iz, in my stupid car?

Go on. Erm, maybe I can be a passenger.

Let's do it. We're going. Fantastic.

You're in the back. We're chauffeuring you.

Okay. I'll get in the back.

So, this is the Lagonda bonnet.

Looking at this, it makes the problem with the doors

look like a walk in the park.

As you can see, the leading edge is completely gone

where it's corroded away because it's a steel frame

and it's got aluminium wrapped around the steel frame,

which is a massive no-no.

As soon as they have contact with each other,

there's instant chemical reaction, which causes the steel

to rust and the aluminium to corrode.

So I've arranged for Dan over the road

to come and weld this up

because it is a specialised job to weld aluminium.

The front end of this Lagonda bonnet is so iconic,

we cannot get this wrong. It's got to be perfect.

Hi, Dan.DAN: You all right?

Thanks for coming over, mate to help us out.No worries.

So what are your plans?

I'm going to get this piece of aluminium that I've cut,

and this is just going to slot over that there.

That's gonna look perfect.

I'll leave you to it. Thanks. Yeah, no worries.

Anyone can weld, but this, you can't get it wrong,

because this will warp the panel 'cause aluminium is so thin,

and you just got to be so careful with the heat.

It's a really specialised job.

And luckily for me, Dan's the man.

And I've seen his welding, and it's superb.

HAMMOND: Here we are.

It's quite exciting to take him for a shakedown here

where they shake down, like, mega race cars.

IZZY: Oh, my God, look at that. Oh, yeah.

Look at that. Oh, they're speeding the thing.

So they're testing these, ready to take 'em out to Monte Carlo.

(ENGINE SPUTTERING)Listen to it. That's the overrun. (MIMICS ENGINE)

It's so cool.Right. So I think what we need to do

is get your car warmed up, ready.Yeah.

When they give us a window, ping, off you go.

Come on, then. Let's go do it.

With everything that's going on in Rich's life right now,

it's just the last thing in the world

I expected him to want to pull out of the bag, really.

I didn't even know this place existed.

I think the day is gonna be great.

Are we ready?Be careful with my little girl in there!

It's so cool!

This is 90 years old, this year, it is.90?

And you tend to feel really quite alive in it.

Whee!

(CHUCKLING) Brilliant.

Ooh, I'm having one of those slightly emotional moments

all unexpectedly. I am.

I never thought I'd be watching Les, at nearly 60, drive my...

..daughter in her mid-20s out on a test drive.

That's a happy thing.

Had enough, Iz?

I don't mind. I'm loving it.Yeah?

And that's the biggest surprise of all, it's Izzy

taking all of this on. She loves it.

And yet, growing up...

..if you ask her, she'll tell you it's because she's a girl,

and society just doesn't expect that.

But now, suddenly she's realised, "Hang on,

"that world's for me as well, and I could be part of it."

And now she is.

I've never pushed her towards this ever.

She found it for herself.

Ahh! (LAUGHS) We're so quick.

That means there's a whole lot of fun that's just been opened up.

I think they want us back in this lap.Okay.

Look at that.

How can that not make you happy?

That looks so cool.

Well, I think we can chalk this up as a successful day.

That was brilliant.Brilliant. Thanks for that, mate.

I'm on a bit of a high.

The last thing in the world I expected today

was to be bringing it to a small circuit so near home.

And I can't thank Rich and Izzy enough for setting it all up

and letting me bring the little thing here.

That was so much fun. And watching Les is just...

But he was being a proper test driver,

like, you could tell that he was working out

what he needs to do to make that car even better.

It was really cool.

I know I have a tendency to get carried away,

but it's hard not to when you discover

that your own flesh and blood shares the same passion as you.

I feel like a whole new chapter might be about to begin.

Seeing Les and Izzy having so much fun on the track

for that testing has reminded me how cool racing is.

It is good for the brand, and also, it's good for motivation.

Yeah, it all got a bit expensive last time,

but I've done a bit of digging, and I've looked into something

called the Pomeroy Trophy, the "Pom", everyone calls it.

And it... Well, it sounds a bit nuts, but it is competitive.

It's a form of racing. It would be good

to show off the brand on track and to motivate everybody.

And it's open to just about any car,

which means we could have multiple cars in it.

So we could have Anthony in the race car, the MGB.

It needs a bit of work.

Izzy could do it with her new bubbling enthusiasm

for all things motorsport in her little track-D Mini.

Then I've just got to work out something for me to go in.

But...I have an idea.

Lewis!

LEWIS: Yeah?I refuse to knock at your door.

It's just I'm not knocking. I'm not knocking at your door. Right.

Conversation.Would you like crisps? No, thank you.Okay.

So, erm, long and short, I want us to go racing again.Oh, winner.

What stopped me last time was inevitably the expense.

Mm-hm.But there is a way we can dip a toe back in the waters.

Okay.There's a thing called the Pomeroy Trophy.

It is competitive, but it's not like a straight race.

But you're on track. If our car is branded,

which it is, we can get seen so people will see our name.

You can magnify that in social media.Yeah, absolutely.

And I want to do it in this.

Think about it. We can have multiple cars

Ant in the MGB, Izzy in her track Mini and me in this.

I mean, you're not really going to fit in that.

Well, no, I'll do it in the real one, obviously.

It's currently in Margate...What? ..at the Corgi Museum.

Oh, it's still on display?Yeah... That's a problem.

That's okay. It's no problem. We can solve that.

Absolutely.It's your "not a problem".

Yeah, fine. Erm, I can put a plan together to get it back.

Solve that. Get it back. We'll use it.Brilliant. Perfect.

Perfect. Thanks, boss. Exciting times.

Wow.

Dan has really impressed me with this one.

That looks absolutely like factory. You would never know.

We'll have to prep and prime that which is minimal prep

'cause it's been welded so well. The lad's been busy

sorting out all the corrosion and rust on the door.

So that's fantastic. That's all done now.

And then, literally, we are waiting on the colour then.

So as soon as Emma decides which pink she wants,

we crack on and get it painted.

What's up, JP?We're trying to find a pink for this Lagonda.

Okay, the pink. Look how many pinks there are.

Oh, my God. This is gonna look classy, isn't it?Yeah.

Would that be a deep ruby pink

or like a hot Barbie pink? I don't think a hot -

We'll have to give her a variation. We'll have to do some samples.

It's all good you're looking for colours on here, but...

let's make it a bit more interesting.Yeah.

All right. Right. So I'm gonna film you

having a look around the workshop, okay?Come on. Let's get some pink.

Let's see if we've got anything in here. There's pink.

There's not very much pink in the workshop,

so he's gonna have his work cut out, but, I mean,

if he can find it a little bit, it just shows that he's trying I guess.

Oh, there we go. There's some pink.

I don't know if that's a classy pink or not, but it's pink.

Perfect first one. Lovely.

Whose is this lunchbox?

Is there food in there?

It might come back empty.

ANTHONY: Isaac.ISAAC: Yes? Can I ask a favour, mate?Yeah.

Would you be able to give me a hand get the engine out of this.

I may as well. This is the afterhours now.

So Richard wants a good show in the Pomeroy,

and we've decided to take three cars along.

I'm going to be using the MGB, which I'm so excited to use.

But recently she's been sounding very poorly.

But if I can get the engine up quick, get it up to Rick Wood,

who is our engine master mechanic,

that can actually rebuild it for us,

hopefully, he can fix it in time,

so I can actually use her again.

Time is against me. Missus waiting at home,

so I'd best get cracking.

I want it done within an hour. I might even start a timer.

Right, it started. We have 59 minutes.

HAMMOND: Lewis has given me binoculars and a balaclava.

Ever have the feeling you're being led astray?

Right, Lewis, we're pretending to steal

my car from Corgi. Yes.

Because if you think social media, the start of the video,

"Richard Hammond gets back RS2000",

with a picture with you, and the binoculars and a balaclava,

people are gonna like, "What's that?"

Boom.All right, so what do I actually do?

So we're gonna exit the car, walk towards the building.

At that point, I want you to chuck your balaclava off.

What do I do with these? As you get out of the car -

What kind of burglar gets out of the car

with the binoculars and does that?

Well, because we've got a vehicle that's not really obvious,

you'll be hidden behind the really not-obvious truck.Right. Okay.

Thank you very much.

Okay. Ready.

I'm sneaky-peeking.

Is that good?That's good.

Jump down. Pull your balaclava around and walk towards me.

Yeah. Come around now.

I can't see a thing, mate. That's great.

Yeah, that's it.

I'm sneaking. Is this sneaky?Yes.

And then go... Perfect shot.

I bet you've never done something like this before.

Well, no, I'm not a burglar. But doesn't it feel great?No.

ANTHONY: Oh, come on.

ISAAC: Thirty minutes.Whoa!

Whoa.

Looks like the gasket's gone. Yeah.

That's half an hour, just getting the ramp down.

Oh, look -Oh, my God.

'Cause I put in the bottom arm, it stick down, didn't it?

I reckon there's eight minutes left. Okay?Yeah, yeah.

Keep going?Yeah.

I'm going to come up as high as that goes.

Hurry up then. High enough to clear?Clear.

There you go. Whoa. Left on the our timer,

two minutes, fifty, new record.

In less than an hour, she's out. I told you we could do it.

We've got time for a break and everything.

LEWIS: Just think of the music that's gonna be with this.

Like, proper gangster-vibe music. HAMMOND: Yeah.

Okay. Right. Are you sure this is okay?

Yes. Absolutely fine.

So, nicknames...

I was just gonna go for "Shorty". No way.(CHUCKLES)

And I'm just gonna be "Boss". Yeah, great.

Go on.No.Yes.

Lewis...Yes? ..why are we still whispering?

(EXHALES) Right. Dope.Yeah.

They do know they can just take the car, don't they?

Okay, here we go.

If I crash it now, am I insured? Er, probably not, no.

Back in the real world, I'm off to see

Rodger and Emma Dudding with samples of some classy pinks.

I could have sent them in the post,

but the Duddings are important clients,

and I'd give any excuse for another peek

at their classic car collection.

I came in here once, and there were 20-odd Aston Martin Lagondas

which is most of them in the world.

So I don't know what we've got today.

If you like cars, this is how to arrive.

(INDISTINCT AUTOMATED VOICE) Or not.

Oh, "He's been select".

Lancia Zagato.

Lambo Countach at the back. That is incredibly rare.

Dino, Citroen DS Decapotable. (GASPS)

And I bet that's a Flat Floor E-Type. It will be.

How's my favourite couple in the whole world?

Hello.How are you both? Rodger, how are you?

Very nice to see you again. Hello, how are you?

Hello, Richard.Lovely to see you. Glamorous as ever,

both of you.Aw. Thank you.

How you been?We've been well. Good.Really well.

So, erm, the point of this visit, it's time to choose a colour.

I wanted you to see them for real. That's a positive colour.

That's a very positive colour. (CHUCKLES)

Oh, wow.Rather than a flat piece, this is a better way of judging

what they look like on curves and folds.Oh, my goodness.

So..Well...Wow.

Oh.You've changed your mind. You want it blue.

Okay, I'll go home. (ALL LAUGHING) No, no changing minds.

Erm, Richard, what do you think?

The only thing I would say is imagine it...

..on an Aston Martin Lagonda like yours

where you've got roughly eight acres of it...

(BOTH CHUCKLE)..'cause there's a lot. If you go that far...

Hm...it's in danger of looking funny.Yeah, absolutely.

Out of the three of them, I would have to go for that now.

This is the one...without question.

I agree. It's just... It just looks beautiful.

It's timeless, elegant. I think this one.

I think that is an elegant colour. Mm.

Shall we settle on that then? And I think...

I think it will look... I think it'll look amazing.

This is defining.Yeah, I agree.

Ooh, exciting.Exciting. It's gonna be mind-blowing.

(LAUGHING) It's gonna look great.

Anthony?Yeah, Rich.

Ooh, it's got an engine. That's good.Yeah, new one.

And?Running lovely. Rick's done a real good job on this one.

So it's gonna be ready for the Pom? Yeah.

And then we've got Izzy's little track car.

It's all shaping up to be really exciting,

but I've just, while I'm talking to you, on my mind...

Well, you've done quite a bit of racing now...Yeah.

..so you know what it's like out there.

You're a father...Yeah. ..of daughters.

I'm just letting my daughter go racing, should I?

(WHIMPERS)It's terrifying.

I know.If I had to let my daughter go out, but are you...

Are you going to stop her? You've raised a good point.

And I've got to let her have these experiences.

The thing is, if she wants to experience it,

you've got to let her do it. Let her do what she wants.

If you had a son, would you let him do it?

I'd be just as worried. But would you let him?

Probably more worried. Yeah, so there you go.

You'd be less worried if Izzy's doing it.

My son would be an idiot, so I'd be more worried.

Whereas my daughter is terrifying, but not an idiot.

Okay.So I'm less worried about my daughter racing.

There you go. So I should stop worrying.Yeah.

Thank you for your logic. I appreciate your input.No worries.

Jamie, it's time to think pink

'cause I've been to the Duddings and they have chosen the pink

for the Aston Martin Lagonda.

Which one?Ah, well... Is it this one?

Hm...Hopefully not. No, they went for that one.

Oh, the one - The one we wanted. Exactly.

It's gonna look, well, unique.

I think it's a nice crisp colour. Yes.Right.

I'm gonna leave you those. Can you please make that gigantic car

that colour for the customers? Will do.Thank you.

Just doing the final masking now before we put the colour on.

And it's going to change the look of this car forever.

Hopefully...erm...

Emma will be happy 'cause she's chose the colour.

But it's different from choosing a colour that big,

to then seeing a car.

It's like, you know, when you go and choose a colour

for your living room, you get a little tester,

put a bit on and you're like, "It looks brilliant".

You paint the wall, and it looks awful,

so hopefully we don't have that reaction.

There's no turning back now. Let's go in this colour.

Right. Here we go. Let's get this car pink.

I had three sisters growing up, and I've got four daughters.

I've seen a lot of pink stuff in my time,

but I know if my kids saw that, they would absolutely love it.

What do you think? It's a different look.

It's very pink. (CHUCKLING) It's very pink.

Morning, team.Morning. And we are a team, are we not?

We are.Three cars, three drivers and the rest of us.I know.

Cars look fantastic. That, look how it's come up.

Doesn't it? It's got our logo on. It's proper.

To be honest, it looks very smart.

Where is our social media "guru", Lewis?

Probably still in bed now. Well, he should be

gathering stuff for this today. We've got everything we need.

The cars are ready. You're ready.Yep.

(ENGINE REVVING)

Ah, here's social media.

(ENGINE SPUTTERING)God.

Oh, that's got - (IZZY LAUGHING)

That's got a number on it.

He's got a race suit on. You are joking.

Are we now four cars? We are now four cars.

That's good. That's... We can have some fun.

Oh, my God, and you're taking that one.

Okay, that's gonna be fun. That's gonna be a laugh.

That will be - It's madness, but it'll be a laugh.

The Smallest Cog is back on track,

and this father-and-daughter team at Silverstone

should be great for the socials.

IZZY: I'm on the circuit.

I touched the circuit. It's amazing. Look at these perfect socials.

It is a day out, and it's supposed to be fun.

That's good, but you are doing social stuff?Yeah, look.

So this is -Look casual.

LEWIS: There you go. Look. Look like - (LAUGHING)

The followers are gonna eat it up.

Today's quirky event has been going since the 1950s,

and was the brainchild of author, designer and president

of the Vintage Sports Car Club, Lawrence Pomeroy.

Right. What happens now?

You get measured.Ooh.

He was determined to celebrate the touring car,

and today's time-trial involves a rather odd handicap system.

Success?Yep.

According to the rules, a proper grand tourer

should be able to whisk one's spouse to the south of France in comfort

with room in the boot for two suitcases.

Brilliant. Thank you. Maximum points. I've won.

Do I get a trophy? MAN: No, not yet.Oh.

If the cases don't fit,

you get slapped with a points penalty.

Problem is now I'm 40 points down against the rest of them.

Good start, innit?

Stitched up at the start.

So you've got 40 minutes out on track.

The whole thing about this is have fun and be safe.

Come on, then. Let's go.

To be honest, I really don't care where I end up,

or even if I finish...

I'm not in the mood to speak right now.

Are you nervous?I feel like I'm gonna throw up...in my helmet?

..because I've just realised that I've allowed my daughter

to enter a time-trial at Silverstone.

All right. Can you... can you do her lid up?

I've got to go and get mine on. Izzy, I'll see you out there!

Hold on. Snug? Happy? Sorry.Yeah.

I just hope Izzy's okay.

I think it's 'cause I really want to be good at this

and prove that I can be good at this.

(CHUCKLING) What if I'm rubbish? (SCREAMS)

Sorry. I've forgotten to talk 'cause I'm just thinking about Izzy.

God, I hope she's all right.

If I do this, I can do anything. If I do this, I can do anything.

And I think we are moving out. 40 minutes ahead of us,

once we get these two formation laps done.

There's my daughter, Izzy, in her little Mini.

I cannot believe it.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, I'm on Silverstone racetrack.

(EXHALES) I'm so nervous.

I feel actually quite sick.

We started? What's going on?

Oh, my God, I wasn't ready!

Ha! And here they come.

Oh, my God! What's wrong with you?! Why're you doing that?

Oh, Izzy, I hope you're okay, my darling.

I really do.

If you wanna overtake, just go. Just literally go.

Right. If you're in a Mini and it will grip, trust it.

Hopefully Izzy has found some clear air like I'm in now

'cause we're all broken up a bit. But you can just concentrate.

Okay? I'm getting better at this. I'm getting better at this.

I think I might be quicker than this car in front.

Ah! I think I see Isabella.

My little angel is still out here in start.

I don't want to overtake. It feels really rude.

I might actually have to. And I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm gonna do it. I'm sorry I've overtaken you.

Sorry about that.

All right, Iz, I'm coming at you, darling. That'll be nice.

Oh, my God, it's Rich!

Ah, it's my Dad!

That is my Dad!

Yay, now I can follow him!

Right. Well, Izzy's settled in.

That means I can have some fun.

(TYRES SCREECH) Ooh, a little bit late on braking there.

Asking a bit much from my front wheels.

Got carried away.

This is amazing! I'm in the best car ever!

This is fun!

Anthony is hard on my tail in the MGB.

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING) Can't do anything.

Oh, no, I've just been overtaken by my own racing car.

Oh, what?

Twelve laps, and that is the end. (LAUGHS)

That was amazing.

(GROANS)

(CHEERING)I'm so sweaty, I can't...

I don't wanna take this off 'cause I'm a hot mess under this.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Today has been a roller coaster, an absolute roller coaster.

To have, like, five cars coming at you at the same time,

like either side is a little bit scary.

But when I got that under control, I was okay.

It was really fun, and I think I would do it again.

If the aim was to publicise the Smallest Cog, well, we did.

We made a lot of good social stuff to push the image...100%.

..and we had a brilliant time. Had a great time.

And I'm really, really pleased and proud of the whole team.

I just need to think of more ways of doing this,

more ways of reminding ourselves why...

why we do it, and keep the energy going.

I'm trying something new. I've gone the extra mile

to give Rodger and Emma their Aston Martin Lagonda back,

the pink car, 'cause I mean,

it's quite a statement, so it needs a statement.

So I found out they were lunching here.

I'm outside the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

So any minute now, hopefully, Isaac and Lewis are going to arrive

with the car in a trailer. It's, you know, all to put on

my ambassadorial role, taking things to the next level.

We're going to be in the way.

And being in the way is my least favourite thing in the world.

Needless to say, speed and accuracy are paramount.LEWIS: Yes.

No pressure on young Isaac reversing this.Literally.

He's got to do it quick, very accurately.Perfectly.

Keep coming!

He's locked it. Safety first.

You sure? Push the button. Yeah, it's locked, I think.

Oh, no, it's not. I'm just being weak.

It's not locked? The trailer's not locked.Oh, God.

We're gonna get this off as quick as we can.

Help! It's quite slippery. Thank you.

Ooh, it's pink. It's very pink.

He's in position.

We're still blocking the driveway of one of London's biggest hotels...

..at lunchtime, but it's in.

Giving a bit of a pep and a polish and a dry,

and I think I need to get Isaac on the way.

And Isaac, you'll need to clear off out of the way or we'll stop London.

I mean, I know the circumstances aren't the best right now,

but it's great for the socials.

So in my husk of getting the car out and making it look beautiful...

What have you done?I might have left my phone in the truck

to take the social media content. Can I borrow your phone?

Really, to do your job. You need two things, a duster,

and a telephone, and you're lacking 50% of them.

There you go.Thank you very much.

Oh, hello? They're here. They're here. Perfect timing.

I'll escort them in.

The two colours look brilliant together.EMMA: Oh, my goodness.

Good afternoon, team. How are we? RODGER: We are very well.

Thank you so much. I'll leave this with you.

Thank you very much, Richard. All right, jump on up.

It looks great, right? (CHUCKLING) It looks...

pretty staggering. I mean, it's very striking.

It is very, very striking. (CHUCKLING)

Oh, my goodness.Wow. It's from a movie.

It's a movie car, isn't it?

We're very pleased to present it to you, your fabulous pink,

one-of-one Aston Martin Lagonda. One of one?One of one in the world.

Absolutely zero chance you'll ever see another one.

"Wow", that's my first reaction.

I was really nervous to see what it would turn out like,

but it's absolutely beautiful. It really, really is.

I think it's really timeless. It's really elegant,

and it's the only one in the world.

He's done a beautiful job on it. It really is superb.

I think that worked.Yeah. That was fantastic.

And I think she liked the colour 'cause my thought was

if she got out and didn't like the colour,

she'd be embarrassed 'cause everybody in London can see it.

There you go... See what you want. How many did you -

What's this? Socials. My whole phone is full -

Full of pink. Do you have AirDrop?

Do you know what it is? Yes.Oh, okay.

I do know what AirDrop is. (SNICKERS)

I think we're learning that happy customers

are more than just doing a good job.

I mean, these guys are happy with that car,

but also happy that we went the extra mile

to present it to them here.

If we can keep the work coming, keep doing it well,

and keep delivering it with a bit of panache,

well, we can make it.

How can we go from 250 hours of labour

to 1,250 hours of labour?

What am I gonna say?

Hi, darling? Nice to see you.

Are you ready for your day in the office?I am.

Now, D-type didn't include the VAT.

You lost 20% on that one. It's not looking good.

(HONKING) Coming through!
