1
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:31,850
Hello, and welcome to Top Gear.
2
00:00:31,675 --> 00:00:35,915
We're still here working from home
at Television Centre! Come on.
3
00:00:38,690 --> 00:00:40,850
We've still got our very select audience,
4
00:00:40,850 --> 00:00:43,530
and Fred still can't walk under a low bridge.
5
00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:45,730
This is your worst nightmare, isn't it?
6
00:00:45,730 --> 00:00:47,650
No big crowd to laugh at your jokes.
7
00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:50,890
Phil were laughing! He loved it,
Phil there. He loved it. One.
8
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:53,570
Anyway, we've got a great show
for you tonight.
9
00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:55,730
The big man races a jet man.
10
00:00:55,730 --> 00:00:57,370
We've got a beautiful new Ferrari.
11
00:00:57,370 --> 00:00:59,850
And we've got you prancing around
in a rented tux
12
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:01,890
pretending you're James Bond.
13
00:01:01,890 --> 00:01:06,050
Yes, we have, because there's
a new Bond film out later this year,
14
00:01:06,050 --> 00:01:09,650
and that got us thinking -
if you wanted a genuine Bond car
15
00:01:09,650 --> 00:01:11,850
in your life, how do you get one?
16
00:01:11,850 --> 00:01:14,050
Well, shake yourself a Martini,
17
00:01:14,050 --> 00:01:17,170
and enjoy Top Gear's guide
to buying a Bond car.
18
00:01:20,530 --> 00:01:22,490
You expect me to talk?
19
00:01:22,490 --> 00:01:24,930
No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die.
20
00:01:30,650 --> 00:01:34,410
For nearly 60 years,
James Bond has been saving the day
21
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:37,850
from behind the wheel of some
of the most iconic cars
22
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:39,450
the world has ever seen.
23
00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:43,770
And would you believe it?
24
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:48,250
We were lucky enough to bring
a whole bunch of them together
25
00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:50,890
in our very own Bond bunker.
26
00:01:52,610 --> 00:01:55,570
Oh...my God.
27
00:01:55,570 --> 00:01:58,730
- What?
- Me eyes are just everywhere.
28
00:01:58,730 --> 00:02:01,050
This is mega.
29
00:02:01,050 --> 00:02:04,410
Straight away, DB5.
30
00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:06,650
That is the OG right there.
31
00:02:07,970 --> 00:02:09,930
It's like your childhood in a room,
isn't it?
32
00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:13,690
The Lotus submarine Esprit,
look at that! The submarine!
33
00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:15,970
Shall we have a little walk round?
Yeah. Yeah.
34
00:02:15,970 --> 00:02:18,570
Which way do you want to go?
I want to have a look at the BMW
35
00:02:18,570 --> 00:02:20,410
that's actually a kit car underneath.
36
00:02:20,410 --> 00:02:22,050
- All this...
- Yeah.
37
00:02:22,050 --> 00:02:24,730
..and you want to start with
that Beemer? Yeah, because I want...
38
00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:26,479
The wheel base is a bit wrong
underneath. Oh, God. Come on.
39
00:02:30,090 --> 00:02:35,130
Oh, yes, from props department
replicas like the Z8
40
00:02:35,130 --> 00:02:39,530
to stunt prep specials like Aston
Martin's Vanquish and DB10...
41
00:02:41,130 --> 00:02:43,810
..these are some very special cars.
42
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:49,530
Isn't this one of the best
cars ever? Forget Bond?
43
00:02:49,530 --> 00:02:51,290
It is stunning, this thing.
44
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:53,810
I reckon that car could make YOU look good.
45
00:02:53,810 --> 00:02:56,450
Do you know what? I hate to say it,
boys - for a shape,
46
00:02:56,450 --> 00:02:57,570
I prefer that.
47
00:02:57,570 --> 00:03:00,410
That is the car. I love that.
Living Daylights. Love it.
48
00:03:00,410 --> 00:03:04,210
These Aston Martins are just
magnificent. Yeah.
49
00:03:04,210 --> 00:03:06,650
Oh! DBS. Come on.
50
00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:08,530
Beautiful!
51
00:03:08,530 --> 00:03:10,450
Name the Bond that drove this.
52
00:03:10,450 --> 00:03:12,290
Ooh! Lazenby.
53
00:03:12,290 --> 00:03:14,050
Yes. Get in!
54
00:03:14,050 --> 00:03:17,210
OHMSS. I know me stuff! OHMSS.
55
00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:20,970
That's the one for me, the one
with the Spiro Jump in it.
56
00:03:20,970 --> 00:03:22,290
Look at that!
57
00:03:22,290 --> 00:03:24,290
He goes, "You ain't going to jump
that, boy,"
58
00:03:24,290 --> 00:03:26,050
and he goes, "I sure am, boy."
59
00:03:26,050 --> 00:03:29,170
- Vroom! Fantastic.
- Can we open the door?
60
00:03:29,170 --> 00:03:31,690
- It's got a plaque inside.
- Oh! I can see it.
61
00:03:31,690 --> 00:03:35,330
"Driven by James Bond in the movie
Man With The Golden Gun."
62
00:03:35,330 --> 00:03:37,610
- How cool is that?!
- How good's that?
63
00:03:37,610 --> 00:03:39,610
These are the actual cars.
64
00:03:39,610 --> 00:03:41,330
Boys, do you think I could sit in this one?
65
00:03:41,330 --> 00:03:42,650
No.
66
00:03:42,650 --> 00:03:44,450
There's no-one about. No.
67
00:03:44,450 --> 00:03:46,010
I'm in, lads.
68
00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:47,770
Oh!
69
00:03:47,770 --> 00:03:50,130
- God, these are sensational.
- Look at this!
70
00:03:52,290 --> 00:03:55,090
Every one is a priceless museum piece...
71
00:03:56,210 --> 00:03:57,730
Look at that!
72
00:03:57,730 --> 00:03:59,690
It's just history, innit?
73
00:03:59,690 --> 00:04:01,290
..and each played its part
74
00:04:01,290 --> 00:04:04,770
in enticing generations of loyal fans...
75
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:07,210
Look at this! This is it.
76
00:04:07,210 --> 00:04:10,210
..to the magic of James Bond.
77
00:04:10,210 --> 00:04:12,410
- Don't touch it!
- I'm touching it, son!
78
00:04:12,410 --> 00:04:14,530
I'll never get the chance again.
79
00:04:14,530 --> 00:04:19,570
In fact, the only one the magic
hadn't worked on was Flintoff.
80
00:04:19,570 --> 00:04:21,490
I have got a confession here, lads.
81
00:04:21,490 --> 00:04:26,450
I love the cars. Yes! I love them,
I think unbelievable,
82
00:04:26,450 --> 00:04:29,530
but I just don't get James Bond.
83
00:04:29,530 --> 00:04:33,210
What do you mean you don't get
James Bond? What's not to get?
84
00:04:33,210 --> 00:04:35,850
He's James Bond.
He's the ultimate secret agent.
85
00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:37,530
But he's not, is he? Why?
86
00:04:37,530 --> 00:04:39,970
Do you know who the best
special agent is? Go on. Who?
87
00:04:39,970 --> 00:04:42,690
Well, nobody knows, because special
agents keep it under their hat.
88
00:04:42,690 --> 00:04:44,810
Oh, God. They don't walk into places
and go... Fred.
89
00:04:44,810 --> 00:04:47,570
"Oh, the name's James Bond." "Oh,
he's here, lads. Get rid of him."
90
00:04:47,570 --> 00:04:49,410
- You're overthinking James Bond.
- Yeah.
91
00:04:49,410 --> 00:04:52,610
You can't overthink James Bond.
You've just got to go with it.
92
00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:55,690
Don't let Flintoff put you off.
Bond is brilliant,
93
00:04:55,690 --> 00:04:59,130
and so are his cars.
94
00:04:59,130 --> 00:05:02,570
So let's kick off our buyer's guide
with the good news
95
00:05:02,570 --> 00:05:05,170
that there are proper Bond cars out there
96
00:05:05,170 --> 00:05:08,290
that could be yours for sensible money.
97
00:05:15,210 --> 00:05:18,490
Now, what better place to start
than the start?
98
00:05:18,490 --> 00:05:23,770
With the original, the affordable
Sunbeam Alpine.
99
00:05:23,770 --> 00:05:27,650
Oh, yes, this was the very first Bond car,
100
00:05:27,650 --> 00:05:30,410
the Genesis of things to come.
101
00:05:30,410 --> 00:05:32,810
James Bond Theme
102
00:05:32,810 --> 00:05:34,890
1962's Dr No.
103
00:05:34,890 --> 00:05:38,450
The late, great Sir Sean Connery
is at the wheel,
104
00:05:38,450 --> 00:05:41,890
and he's about to have
his very first car chase.
105
00:05:43,730 --> 00:05:47,410
James Bond is driving along,
enjoying the sunshine,
106
00:05:47,410 --> 00:05:49,290
he looks in the rear-view mirror.
107
00:05:49,290 --> 00:05:51,370
"Ooh, what's that in the back there?
108
00:05:51,370 --> 00:05:53,370
"A couple of rotters in a hearse."
109
00:05:53,370 --> 00:05:55,090
With a few dubious sound effects...
110
00:05:57,410 --> 00:05:58,850
..and way too much steering...
111
00:06:00,370 --> 00:06:03,050
..Bond sneaks under
a conveniently-placed crane,
112
00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:05,570
leaving the baddies to plunge off a cliff,
113
00:06:05,570 --> 00:06:07,690
and burst into flames.
114
00:06:11,010 --> 00:06:13,450
I think they were on their way to a funeral.
115
00:06:13,450 --> 00:06:14,850
Amazing!
116
00:06:14,850 --> 00:06:19,090
And that, my friends, was the very
first Bond car chase.
117
00:06:19,090 --> 00:06:20,610
Simpler times.
118
00:06:22,370 --> 00:06:25,610
And the Alpine is, in truth, a simple car.
119
00:06:28,210 --> 00:06:32,490
It's got four cylinders,
and 80 brake horsepower,
120
00:06:32,490 --> 00:06:36,810
which even by '60s standards was slow.
121
00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:41,130
Ladies and gentlemen, this is 007mph.
122
00:06:45,330 --> 00:06:49,370
But it looks great, you're not going
to get a speeding ticket,
123
00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:54,490
it's a proper piece of Bond history,
and it doesn't cost the Earth.
124
00:06:56,210 --> 00:06:59,050
You can get a decent one
for just under ten grand,
125
00:06:59,050 --> 00:07:00,810
and yeah, it might rust a bit,
126
00:07:00,810 --> 00:07:04,210
and if you're getting chased by
baddies, let's hope they're walking.
127
00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:06,210
But that's not important, is it?
128
00:07:06,210 --> 00:07:10,810
What's important is this is the car
that started it all.
129
00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:13,930
You want to buy a Bond car on a budget?
130
00:07:13,930 --> 00:07:16,050
Buy the original.
131
00:07:16,050 --> 00:07:19,290
Very nice, but no.
132
00:07:26,770 --> 00:07:31,370
If you want a genuine Bond car
for sensible money
133
00:07:31,370 --> 00:07:35,930
that's actually good to drive,
you want one of these -
134
00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:39,170
an Alfa Romeo GTV6.
135
00:07:43,490 --> 00:07:45,370
The film was Octopussy.
136
00:07:45,370 --> 00:07:49,530
Sir Roger Moore was at the wheel
evading the chasing police
137
00:07:49,530 --> 00:07:53,970
with some proper driving in
what still is a fabulous car.
138
00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:02,450
I've never driven one of these
before. It's an absolute honey.
139
00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:07,050
It really is!
140
00:08:07,050 --> 00:08:11,170
You've got Alfa's glorious,
wonderful-sounding V6 up front...
141
00:08:12,610 --> 00:08:15,210
..perfect weight distribution,
I've got a transaxle layout.
142
00:08:15,210 --> 00:08:18,290
That means the engine's in the front
but the gearbox is out back,
143
00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:20,450
so I've got 50-50 weight distribution.
144
00:08:20,450 --> 00:08:23,010
You know what? This thing won
rallies and won
145
00:08:23,010 --> 00:08:25,850
touring car championships back in the day.
146
00:08:25,850 --> 00:08:27,290
It's a thoroughbred.
147
00:08:29,450 --> 00:08:33,170
Although not, admittedly,
an especially reliable one.
148
00:08:33,170 --> 00:08:36,490
It comes from that slightly
ropey part of Alfa's history.
149
00:08:36,490 --> 00:08:38,970
So they do rust if they're exposed to
150
00:08:38,970 --> 00:08:42,530
anything other than bright sunlight.
151
00:08:42,530 --> 00:08:43,970
And the upshot is,
152
00:08:43,970 --> 00:08:48,530
if you want one that's more MI6
than stuck on the M6,
153
00:08:48,530 --> 00:08:50,570
you're looking at about 30 grand.
154
00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:55,730
But for something that drives this well,
155
00:08:55,730 --> 00:08:58,330
with this kind of Bond heritage,
156
00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:00,650
oh, yeah, that's got to be worth it.
157
00:09:02,490 --> 00:09:05,290
All right, I'm no expert,
158
00:09:05,290 --> 00:09:09,050
but if you really want a bit of
00fun on a budget...
159
00:09:09,050 --> 00:09:10,890
Bond, sideways.
160
00:09:10,890 --> 00:09:13,650
..forget Octopussy. You want...
161
00:09:16,330 --> 00:09:17,930
..A View To A Kill.
162
00:09:20,050 --> 00:09:21,890
It's the middle of Paris,
163
00:09:21,890 --> 00:09:25,730
Sir Rog has nicked himself
a Renault 11 taxi,
164
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:28,170
and as he races through the streets,
165
00:09:28,170 --> 00:09:29,970
he chops off the top,
166
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:31,650
and then the back.
167
00:09:31,650 --> 00:09:35,770
And what the big man created is
nothing short of a cut-price...
168
00:09:37,930 --> 00:09:39,290
..masterpiece.
169
00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:45,450
Tell you what - of all the Bond cars
you could be in,
170
00:09:45,450 --> 00:09:48,810
I don't think I'd swap it.
This is so much fun!
171
00:09:48,810 --> 00:09:52,650
I don't need guns. I don't need oil slicks.
172
00:09:52,650 --> 00:09:54,650
All I need is half a car.
173
00:09:54,650 --> 00:09:56,930
Oh! Whoa!
174
00:09:58,890 --> 00:10:02,970
OK, the Renault 5.5's handling
is a little bit lively,
175
00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:07,770
but when a whole one from the
Continent will only set you back
176
00:10:07,770 --> 00:10:13,690
1,000 euros, I call that a Bond car bargain.
177
00:10:14,850 --> 00:10:18,010
Have a think about this.
If you buy it in France,
178
00:10:18,010 --> 00:10:22,610
cut it in half in France,
bring it back on the Eurotunnel,
179
00:10:22,610 --> 00:10:26,610
you only have to pay the price
of a motorbike. It's dirt cheap!
180
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:28,850
This car makes sense.
181
00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:31,970
The Renault 5.5
Maybe this Bond lad's all right!
182
00:10:33,490 --> 00:10:36,090
Maybe he's got it right. This is fun.
183
00:10:36,090 --> 00:10:37,490
Oh!
184
00:10:37,490 --> 00:10:40,850
Well, more fun than being stuck
with Harris the super fan,
185
00:10:40,850 --> 00:10:42,370
at any rate.
186
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:44,930
My favourite thing about Bond car
chases, though, is the stuff
187
00:10:44,930 --> 00:10:47,450
going on in the background.
They're like car time capsules.
188
00:10:47,450 --> 00:10:50,690
From Octopussy, favourite bit,
189
00:10:50,690 --> 00:10:52,930
going the other way over the level crossing
190
00:10:52,930 --> 00:10:55,690
as a police car comes the other way.
You picked that out?
191
00:10:55,690 --> 00:10:57,090
Yeah. Dear me.
192
00:10:58,330 --> 00:10:59,610
What the...?
193
00:11:01,650 --> 00:11:03,730
That is brilliant.
That is absolutely brilliant!
194
00:11:04,770 --> 00:11:06,450
Hey-hey!
195
00:11:06,450 --> 00:11:09,530
He's not fully in control of that.
I'm just going to stand here.
196
00:11:11,730 --> 00:11:15,290
Oh! Hey-hey!
197
00:11:15,290 --> 00:11:17,050
Oh! Oh.
198
00:11:19,290 --> 00:11:22,890
Don't worry, Chris, I've got this.
That is superb.
199
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:25,690
That's one of the best ever
Bond chase sequences, isn't it?
200
00:11:25,690 --> 00:11:28,930
And as well, now he's getting
into the Bond thing.
201
00:11:28,930 --> 00:11:30,690
He is. He's smiling!
202
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:32,250
I tell you what - this is so much fun.
203
00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:35,770
Believe it or not,
the back end's a bit twitchy.
204
00:11:35,770 --> 00:11:37,170
Yeah! What a car.
205
00:11:37,170 --> 00:11:39,010
Nerdy fact about that sequence, right?
206
00:11:39,010 --> 00:11:41,810
Nerdy fact - have you noticed
that when that thing gets T-boned
207
00:11:41,810 --> 00:11:44,610
to make it go in half,
the car that goes in is a BMW 323i,
208
00:11:44,610 --> 00:11:46,690
and the next shot is a Renault 20?
209
00:11:46,690 --> 00:11:48,890
I remember you saying that to me
over a pint once.
210
00:11:48,890 --> 00:11:51,970
Nobody's ever said that
in the history of man. No-one.
211
00:11:51,970 --> 00:11:54,770
One other weird thing, being technical -
212
00:11:54,770 --> 00:11:56,570
where's the fuel tank?
213
00:11:56,570 --> 00:11:58,410
- Just behind t'seat.
- Yeah.
214
00:11:58,410 --> 00:12:01,570
No, but the car in the film...
I must admit...
215
00:12:01,570 --> 00:12:03,130
Come on, you must've thought that.
216
00:12:03,130 --> 00:12:05,770
I did think that when I watched it,
and that was as a child.
217
00:12:05,770 --> 00:12:08,610
But without this car,
that would not be the same film.
218
00:12:08,610 --> 00:12:11,210
It wouldn't be. Can we have a go
in that? That is a piece of genius.
219
00:12:11,210 --> 00:12:13,250
Can you have a go, Patrick? Yeah.
220
00:12:13,250 --> 00:12:16,170
You didn't think I'd leave
you two out, would you?
221
00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:18,170
There's a couple more of these. No!
222
00:12:18,170 --> 00:12:19,490
Oh, yeah.
223
00:12:19,490 --> 00:12:22,130
Oh! Come on.
224
00:12:25,530 --> 00:12:29,850
Oh, yes, time to show that
the Renault 11 is the best
225
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:34,090
of the budget Bond cars
with a bit of high-end motorsport.
226
00:12:37,530 --> 00:12:41,250
My gift to you boys - two laps round Paris.
227
00:12:41,250 --> 00:12:43,050
I wondered what that were!
228
00:12:43,050 --> 00:12:45,650
Prop department pulled it out the bag.
229
00:12:45,650 --> 00:12:47,770
Je m'appelle Bond.
230
00:12:47,770 --> 00:12:49,930
James Bond.
231
00:12:54,050 --> 00:12:58,810
Forget Formula 1, real driver skill
is in half-car racing.
232
00:13:00,730 --> 00:13:04,570
Five, four, three, two, one.
233
00:13:08,930 --> 00:13:10,970
Oh, this is fantastic fun!
234
00:13:12,130 --> 00:13:14,450
Whoa, here we go!
235
00:13:14,450 --> 00:13:17,050
Here we go, look at this, sideways.
236
00:13:18,930 --> 00:13:20,770
Bit tricky round here.
237
00:13:24,410 --> 00:13:26,410
That's him gone.
238
00:13:28,090 --> 00:13:31,330
With McGuinness' early lead
quickly foiled by the Renault's
239
00:13:31,330 --> 00:13:33,010
surprise handling...
240
00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:34,250
Oh, God!
241
00:13:35,250 --> 00:13:39,130
..the inaugural half-car Grand Prix
had almost immediately become
242
00:13:39,130 --> 00:13:42,850
a two-horse race,
with Flintoff just in the lead.
243
00:13:42,850 --> 00:13:45,770
Where is he? Crazy Harris!
244
00:13:45,770 --> 00:13:47,330
Come on!
245
00:13:47,330 --> 00:13:48,770
Where is he?!
246
00:13:48,770 --> 00:13:51,450
Oh, that's a good drift from Fred!
247
00:13:56,770 --> 00:13:58,290
This is so much fun!
248
00:13:58,290 --> 00:13:59,890
You can keep all your B...
249
00:13:59,890 --> 00:14:02,690
Oh, no, he's here! Oh, he's off.
250
00:14:02,690 --> 00:14:04,530
Yes, baby!
251
00:14:04,530 --> 00:14:06,130
Harris has done me.
252
00:14:06,130 --> 00:14:08,050
This is hilarious!
253
00:14:09,450 --> 00:14:14,170
One lap to go, and on the streets
of Paris, Harris had just got ahead.
254
00:14:15,170 --> 00:14:18,370
Oh, get Chris, he's proper sideways now.
255
00:14:18,370 --> 00:14:19,810
He's really excited.
256
00:14:19,810 --> 00:14:23,370
Then we'll back it in,
bit of oversteer, catch him.
257
00:14:23,370 --> 00:14:26,890
As they say in France, le fight was on.
258
00:14:28,370 --> 00:14:30,810
Come on, Renault 11, don't let me down.
259
00:14:30,810 --> 00:14:32,530
Afraid I'm going to get a whack from...
260
00:14:32,530 --> 00:14:34,090
Oh, I'm all over the place.
261
00:14:34,090 --> 00:14:36,530
- Come on. Coming through!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
262
00:14:36,530 --> 00:14:38,250
Oh, spray everywhere!
263
00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:44,890
I'm not getting beaten by Flintoff.
264
00:14:44,890 --> 00:14:46,810
Oh, no! No!
265
00:14:46,810 --> 00:14:48,370
Got him!
266
00:14:52,530 --> 00:14:54,010
Victory!
267
00:14:58,050 --> 00:14:59,850
Interesting line.
268
00:15:01,410 --> 00:15:03,090
Interesting line.
269
00:15:03,090 --> 00:15:04,730
What's he doing?
270
00:15:04,730 --> 00:15:06,450
Having a shocker, Mr Bond.
271
00:15:16,530 --> 00:15:18,850
Bonjour!
272
00:15:18,850 --> 00:15:21,010
We've been expecting you, Mr Bond.
273
00:15:25,890 --> 00:15:28,810
Fair enough, Flintoff nailed it.
274
00:15:28,810 --> 00:15:33,210
The Renault 5.5 really is
the ultimate budget Bond car.
275
00:15:36,610 --> 00:15:38,530
But our buyer's guide doesn't end there,
276
00:15:38,530 --> 00:15:41,770
because if you're prepared to spend
a little more,
277
00:15:41,770 --> 00:15:43,970
then the world of 007's motors
278
00:15:43,970 --> 00:15:47,210
suddenly becomes a lot more glamorous.
279
00:15:54,890 --> 00:15:57,530
Oh, now we're talking!
280
00:15:57,530 --> 00:16:00,090
The Lotus Esprit. What a car!
281
00:16:01,250 --> 00:16:05,490
Even if you're not a Bond geek,
you can't argue with this one.
282
00:16:05,490 --> 00:16:07,530
This is a proper British legend.
283
00:16:09,050 --> 00:16:13,970
And it was treated to one
of the all-time great chases.
284
00:16:13,970 --> 00:16:20,090
1977's The Spy Who Loved Me,
Bond is on the Sardinian coast,
285
00:16:20,090 --> 00:16:22,330
dicing with a baddie on a motorbike.
286
00:16:25,690 --> 00:16:27,570
He gets rid of him,
287
00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:31,530
then gets tailed by one of
the best Bond villains...
288
00:16:31,530 --> 00:16:33,570
James! Yes, I know, don't tell me.
289
00:16:33,570 --> 00:16:34,650
..Jaws.
290
00:16:39,650 --> 00:16:43,490
If that wasn't enough,
once he's been seen off,
291
00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:47,810
a helicopter gunship joins
the fray, and as we all know,
292
00:16:47,810 --> 00:16:50,330
the only way to get away from one of them
293
00:16:50,330 --> 00:16:53,450
is by turning into a submarine.
294
00:16:56,130 --> 00:17:00,730
This is one of the most iconic
moments in movie history.
295
00:17:07,330 --> 00:17:11,970
Now, a regular Esprit, not that good
in an underwater situation.
296
00:17:14,570 --> 00:17:17,810
Even in a bit of drizzle, there's
water everywhere in this car.
297
00:17:20,330 --> 00:17:21,890
It's starting to leak now.
298
00:17:24,970 --> 00:17:29,130
But that doesn't stop it being
an absolute cracker to drive.
299
00:17:30,570 --> 00:17:31,890
Come on!
300
00:17:33,210 --> 00:17:34,930
Go, go, go!
301
00:17:48,330 --> 00:17:53,330
The early Esprits weren't quick,
just making about 160 horsepower,
302
00:17:53,330 --> 00:17:56,250
but it's a Lotus - it's light, it's nimble,
303
00:17:56,250 --> 00:18:00,530
the perfect car for getting
away from baddies on motorbikes.
304
00:18:00,530 --> 00:18:03,330
Oh! This'll out-manoeuvre anything.
305
00:18:06,290 --> 00:18:08,530
Oh! Nimble.
306
00:18:08,530 --> 00:18:10,650
Pressing on t'pedals at the same time!
307
00:18:14,250 --> 00:18:20,970
Oh! Size 12 feet and Lotus Esprits -
that is not a match made in heaven.
308
00:18:22,770 --> 00:18:26,770
And you should probably know
that a decent S1 Esprit like this
309
00:18:26,770 --> 00:18:29,530
will set you back about 70 grand.
310
00:18:31,370 --> 00:18:35,370
But if you're rocking a pair of
size nines and looking for
311
00:18:35,370 --> 00:18:40,130
a proper classic, trust me,
you will not be disappointed.
312
00:18:43,090 --> 00:18:44,890
Just listen to it!
313
00:18:44,890 --> 00:18:47,250
Oh, my word, this was wasted on Bond.
314
00:18:49,210 --> 00:18:50,770
Absolutely love it.
315
00:18:52,690 --> 00:18:56,890
And so he should.
The Lotus Esprit is a fine choice,
316
00:18:56,890 --> 00:18:59,770
but it's also a bit of an obvious one.
317
00:19:01,330 --> 00:19:05,170
What if you're after something
a bit more unusual?
318
00:19:17,650 --> 00:19:20,610
The Toyota 2000GT
319
00:19:21,850 --> 00:19:25,570
..the undisputed star of
You Only Live Twice,
320
00:19:25,570 --> 00:19:31,570
and quite possibly the coolest
Japanese car ever made.
321
00:19:33,570 --> 00:19:35,450
Get down!
322
00:19:35,450 --> 00:19:39,210
OK, the 2000GT doesn't do
a whole lot on screen.
323
00:19:39,210 --> 00:19:42,570
Basically, it slides around Tokyo for a bit,
324
00:19:42,570 --> 00:19:46,890
keeping a Toyota Crown at bay,
and Bond is only a passenger in it.
325
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:51,890
But even though its time
in the spotlight was brief,
326
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:54,810
for the real Bond car geeks out there,
327
00:19:54,810 --> 00:19:57,610
it was still utterly fascinating.
328
00:19:57,610 --> 00:20:00,010
How's that for Japanese efficiency?
329
00:20:00,010 --> 00:20:01,530
Just a drop in the ocean.
330
00:20:03,690 --> 00:20:06,690
Now, you might have spotted that the
car you see in You Only Live Twice
331
00:20:06,690 --> 00:20:09,650
is a convertible, but this is a coupe.
332
00:20:09,650 --> 00:20:11,090
Good story there.
333
00:20:11,090 --> 00:20:15,450
The only convertible 2000GT
ever made were for the Bond film,
334
00:20:15,450 --> 00:20:20,730
because 6'2" Sean Connery
didn't fit into one of these,
335
00:20:20,730 --> 00:20:24,130
so Toyota said they would chop the roofs off
336
00:20:24,130 --> 00:20:27,250
purely to save 007's hair.
337
00:20:28,290 --> 00:20:31,450
Seems a bit brutal to me, and also,
I have to say,
338
00:20:31,450 --> 00:20:34,490
this coupe, to me,
looks a whole lot prettier.
339
00:20:38,450 --> 00:20:39,930
Which is just as well,
340
00:20:39,930 --> 00:20:43,690
because this is the version
that you can actually buy
341
00:20:43,690 --> 00:20:47,170
and it has to be said, it is superb.
342
00:20:48,370 --> 00:20:51,010
This was the first
proper Japanese sports car.
343
00:20:51,010 --> 00:20:55,330
It was designed to prove to the
world that Japan could do something
344
00:20:55,330 --> 00:20:58,370
other than build very reliable,
ordinary, boring cars.
345
00:20:59,570 --> 00:21:03,610
It was expensive,
but, boy, did it prove a point.
346
00:21:05,730 --> 00:21:10,330
It had a two-litre straight-six
making 150 horsepower,
347
00:21:10,330 --> 00:21:14,010
and with an aluminium body sat
on magnesium alloy wheels
348
00:21:14,010 --> 00:21:17,730
to keep the weight down, it was good
for 0-60 in eight seconds,
349
00:21:17,730 --> 00:21:20,690
and a top speed of 137mph.
350
00:21:23,810 --> 00:21:26,410
Back then, that was seriously quick.
351
00:21:28,850 --> 00:21:31,170
This car was built in conjunction
with Yamaha,
352
00:21:31,170 --> 00:21:35,210
so all the wood in this cabin
is Yamaha piano wood.
353
00:21:35,210 --> 00:21:38,530
That's why it looks better
than any wood I've ever seen
354
00:21:38,530 --> 00:21:40,570
in a car interior before or since.
355
00:21:41,570 --> 00:21:46,090
Cor! This is a little piece
of jewellery, this car.
356
00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:52,410
And it has to be said,
it's an expensive one at that.
357
00:21:52,410 --> 00:21:57,650
If you want a 2000GT in your life,
and believe me, you really do,
358
00:21:57,650 --> 00:22:01,210
it'll set you back about £800,000...
359
00:22:02,730 --> 00:22:06,810
..which does sound like a lot for a Toyota,
360
00:22:06,810 --> 00:22:09,530
just not, perhaps, for this one.
361
00:22:11,770 --> 00:22:14,890
What an absolutely gorgeous machine.
362
00:22:18,890 --> 00:22:20,050
Wow.
363
00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:24,290
Look at that!
364
00:22:28,450 --> 00:22:30,290
OK, I'll give it to you.
365
00:22:30,290 --> 00:22:31,890
That is nice, isn't it?
366
00:22:31,890 --> 00:22:35,850
For someone of our age, that is
the iconic Bond car, isn't it?
367
00:22:35,850 --> 00:22:37,890
It's just beautiful.
Do you actually fit in it?
368
00:22:37,890 --> 00:22:40,850
Not quite, but I can just about manage.
369
00:22:40,850 --> 00:22:43,170
Now, I'm a bit embarrassed
to ask you, Chris,
370
00:22:43,170 --> 00:22:45,970
- I've no idea what your car is.
- Toyota 2000GT
371
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:49,330
Means nothing to you, does it?
That's a Toyota?!
372
00:22:49,330 --> 00:22:51,170
- That's a Toyota, and...
- But it's beautiful!
373
00:22:51,170 --> 00:22:53,570
..the current James Bond, Mr Craig himself,
374
00:22:53,570 --> 00:22:55,770
has pronounced this to be
the greatest Bond car ever.
375
00:22:55,770 --> 00:22:58,370
I'm not questioning Daniel Craig
when it comes to Bond cars,
376
00:22:58,370 --> 00:23:02,490
but surely the ultimate Bond car
has got to be British.
377
00:23:05,570 --> 00:23:08,970
Yes, Mr Flintoff, you're absolutely right.
378
00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:10,490
James Bond Theme
379
00:23:10,490 --> 00:23:17,930
Of course it's the one and only,
the iconic Aston Martin DB5.
380
00:23:17,930 --> 00:23:22,010
Consider me shaken and very stirred.
381
00:23:23,050 --> 00:23:27,450
007 and the DB5 go together
382
00:23:27,450 --> 00:23:31,210
like vodka Martini and a casual fistfight.
383
00:23:31,210 --> 00:23:34,130
It first turned up in 1964's Goldfinger.
384
00:23:35,490 --> 00:23:40,450
Fully equipped by Q Branch,
it had smokescreens, oil slicks,
385
00:23:40,450 --> 00:23:43,170
machine guns, bulletproof shields.
386
00:23:43,170 --> 00:23:45,170
It even had an ejector seat.
387
00:23:46,730 --> 00:23:48,050
Handy!
388
00:23:48,050 --> 00:23:50,610
The car was an instant icon.
389
00:23:50,610 --> 00:23:54,530
Bond has kept on driving it
for over 50 years,
390
00:23:54,530 --> 00:23:58,250
and it's still doing the business
in his latest adventure,
391
00:23:58,250 --> 00:23:59,570
No Time To Die.
392
00:24:00,610 --> 00:24:04,890
The DB5 really is the best of the best,
393
00:24:04,890 --> 00:24:10,170
and Aston Martin have just made it
even better.
394
00:24:10,170 --> 00:24:14,570
And that's because this car,
the one I'm driving right now,
395
00:24:14,570 --> 00:24:17,090
isn't any old Aston Martin DB5.
396
00:24:17,090 --> 00:24:18,890
Oh, no, sir.
397
00:24:18,890 --> 00:24:25,890
This is officially the Aston Martin
DB5 Goldfinger Continuation,
398
00:24:25,890 --> 00:24:29,610
the brand-new old DB5.
399
00:24:29,610 --> 00:24:32,330
Oh, and it's so good!
400
00:24:34,970 --> 00:24:41,450
What you get is a 1960s DB5 -
same engine, same gearbox,
401
00:24:41,450 --> 00:24:43,690
same everything,
402
00:24:43,690 --> 00:24:47,290
but now built to a level of
precision that was just
403
00:24:47,290 --> 00:24:50,290
impossible to achieve back in the day.
404
00:24:50,290 --> 00:24:54,570
This is the DB5 remastered,
and it's better than ever.
405
00:24:56,450 --> 00:24:59,330
It's got 280 horsepower,
406
00:24:59,330 --> 00:25:03,890
so when you put your foot down,
it goes like The Living Daylights.
407
00:25:03,890 --> 00:25:05,650
Oh-ho!
408
00:25:05,650 --> 00:25:10,050
It's quick, but mainly,
it's suave, it's sophisticated.
409
00:25:11,410 --> 00:25:13,850
It makes you feel like Bond.
410
00:25:13,850 --> 00:25:19,890
Although feeling like Bond
does come with a couple of issues.
411
00:25:19,890 --> 00:25:28,210
First, the price, because this DB5
will cost you £3.3 million.
412
00:25:28,210 --> 00:25:32,170
You heard it right.
Pick Granny up off the floor.
413
00:25:32,170 --> 00:25:36,610
Secondly, you can't officially
drive it on the roads, either.
414
00:25:38,290 --> 00:25:43,610
But, as I said before,
this isn't any old Aston Martin.
415
00:25:43,610 --> 00:25:47,690
And to show you what this
DB5 Goldfinger Continuation
416
00:25:47,690 --> 00:25:52,890
can really do, what we need
is a couple of baddies.
417
00:25:58,730 --> 00:26:01,290
What's that I see in my rear-view mirror?
418
00:26:02,810 --> 00:26:04,770
A couple of henchmen!
419
00:26:10,130 --> 00:26:13,050
Gentlemen, do you expect me to talk?
420
00:26:14,370 --> 00:26:17,690
Paddy, you do literally nothing but talk.
421
00:26:17,690 --> 00:26:19,490
Can you just do me one favour
422
00:26:19,490 --> 00:26:21,610
and just give me the line back for once?
423
00:26:23,370 --> 00:26:26,130
No, Mr Bond, we expect you to die.
424
00:26:26,130 --> 00:26:27,650
Love it!
425
00:26:29,410 --> 00:26:32,410
Right, just get on with it,
and catch 00-Bolton here.
426
00:26:34,770 --> 00:26:37,450
Right, let's give them a taste
of what the Aston can do.
427
00:26:38,690 --> 00:26:40,650
Have some of that oil, boys!
428
00:26:40,650 --> 00:26:41,930
That's right...
429
00:26:41,930 --> 00:26:43,730
Oil! It's oil!
430
00:26:43,730 --> 00:26:45,810
..for the first time ever,
431
00:26:45,810 --> 00:26:52,130
you can now buy a DB5 fully loaded
with Q Branch gadgets.
432
00:26:52,130 --> 00:26:54,290
Skid on that, baby.
433
00:26:56,170 --> 00:26:58,730
What else have you got
up your sleeve? Come on, McGuinness.
434
00:26:58,730 --> 00:27:01,290
Sorry, come on, 007.
435
00:27:01,290 --> 00:27:03,410
Have a bit of smoke, gentlemen.
436
00:27:03,410 --> 00:27:04,970
Ha-ha-ha!
437
00:27:08,410 --> 00:27:10,410
Get in character, you!
438
00:27:10,410 --> 00:27:12,530
Have my smoke, boys!
439
00:27:19,730 --> 00:27:22,330
Jaws has suffered a wardrobe!
He's lost his hair.
440
00:27:24,130 --> 00:27:25,570
Apart from the ejector seat,
441
00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:28,970
the Goldfinger Continuation has got it all.
442
00:27:28,970 --> 00:27:32,810
The revolving numberplates,
the battering ram,
443
00:27:32,810 --> 00:27:34,970
the bulletproof shield.
444
00:27:36,450 --> 00:27:39,450
OK. Watch this for stunt driving.
445
00:27:47,410 --> 00:27:50,010
That's some of the greatest
stunt driving ever in a Bond film!
446
00:27:55,330 --> 00:27:58,250
Time for a taste of lead salad.
447
00:27:58,250 --> 00:28:04,610
Oh, yes, this DB5
is even packing the machine guns.
448
00:28:06,930 --> 00:28:08,530
Well, kind of.
449
00:28:08,530 --> 00:28:10,690
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa!
450
00:28:10,690 --> 00:28:12,690
Guns!
451
00:28:12,690 --> 00:28:14,250
Has he got guns?
452
00:28:14,250 --> 00:28:17,130
I was going to play it properly,
but look in the mirror!
453
00:28:17,130 --> 00:28:18,850
He thinks he's shooting us!
454
00:28:22,370 --> 00:28:24,370
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa!
455
00:28:27,410 --> 00:28:32,930
So there you have it - the Top Gear
guide to buying a Bond car ends
456
00:28:32,930 --> 00:28:36,170
not just with the best car in Bond history,
457
00:28:36,170 --> 00:28:40,250
nor even the best car in cinema history.
458
00:28:40,250 --> 00:28:45,210
For me, this might just be
the best car in history.
459
00:28:46,210 --> 00:28:47,570
The name's Bond.
460
00:28:49,170 --> 00:28:50,970
James Bond.
461
00:28:52,170 --> 00:28:56,730
What's going on?
Paddy thinks he's James Bond!
462
00:28:58,530 --> 00:29:01,010
Jeremy Clarkson will be shaking his head.
463
00:29:12,730 --> 00:29:14,610
It's stunning.
464
00:29:14,610 --> 00:29:17,330
That was...brilliant.
465
00:29:17,330 --> 00:29:20,610
Talk about childhood dreams,
and I'll tell you what -
466
00:29:20,610 --> 00:29:24,690
seeing you two as Jaws and Nick Nack
has made my year.
467
00:29:24,690 --> 00:29:25,930
That was genius!
468
00:29:25,930 --> 00:29:28,890
What about the stunt,
retrieving the wig off the runway,
469
00:29:28,890 --> 00:29:31,050
body on the line,
scratched me hands? I liked that!
470
00:29:31,050 --> 00:29:33,490
Popped the wig back in
your dressing room after.
471
00:29:35,650 --> 00:29:37,050
I loved it!
472
00:29:37,050 --> 00:29:40,370
It's not about us.
You are so desperate to be Bond.
473
00:29:40,370 --> 00:29:43,770
Christopher, Christopher,
you don't choose to be Bond.
474
00:29:43,770 --> 00:29:45,290
Bond chooses to be you.
475
00:29:45,290 --> 00:29:47,690
- Oh, God.
- Deal with it, my friend.
476
00:29:47,690 --> 00:29:49,170
The Man With The Plastic Gun.
477
00:29:49,170 --> 00:29:51,050
Correct!
478
00:29:51,050 --> 00:29:54,450
The way I see it, Daniel Craig's
hanging up the old tuxedo.
479
00:29:54,450 --> 00:29:57,130
Let's get a Bolton Bond in.
That's the way forward.
480
00:29:57,130 --> 00:30:00,730
Anyway, can we talk about this DB5?
Please do. Beautiful car.
481
00:30:00,730 --> 00:30:02,130
Yes. Love the gadgets.
482
00:30:02,130 --> 00:30:03,610
It's three million quid!
483
00:30:03,610 --> 00:30:07,610
A lot of money. Three million quid,
and you can't drive it on the roads.
484
00:30:07,610 --> 00:30:09,130
You can't? You can't drive it.
485
00:30:09,130 --> 00:30:12,530
It's not road legal,
but spending a day in it,
486
00:30:12,530 --> 00:30:14,930
you're in a very, very special car.
487
00:30:14,930 --> 00:30:17,970
It's absolutely beautiful,
488
00:30:17,970 --> 00:30:20,130
and I was very lucky to get to drive it.
489
00:30:20,130 --> 00:30:21,170
It is beautiful,
490
00:30:21,170 --> 00:30:23,890
but it's time to move on
and talk about electric SUVs.
491
00:30:23,890 --> 00:30:27,290
Audi, Mercedes, Hyundai -
they're all doing them right now.
492
00:30:27,290 --> 00:30:30,170
Problem is, they're all a bit boring,
493
00:30:30,170 --> 00:30:34,930
but now there's a new electric SUV
that sounded more my cup of tea.
494
00:30:44,130 --> 00:30:47,730
This is the Odyssey 21...
495
00:30:49,050 --> 00:30:54,130
..an electric SUV that's anything
but boring.
496
00:31:05,290 --> 00:31:07,730
Oh-ho-ho!
497
00:31:07,730 --> 00:31:09,130
Listen to the noise of it.
498
00:31:11,130 --> 00:31:15,570
Got 550 horsepower. You get to 60
in less than five seconds.
499
00:31:17,650 --> 00:31:19,850
And it'll do that on anything!
500
00:31:21,570 --> 00:31:22,930
Whoa!
501
00:31:26,850 --> 00:31:31,210
Genuinely, they do call this
an electric SUV...
502
00:31:34,610 --> 00:31:38,290
..but this SUV wasn't made
for the school run.
503
00:31:38,290 --> 00:31:40,250
This was made for racing.
504
00:31:42,010 --> 00:31:43,930
Ha-ha! Course it was.
505
00:31:46,170 --> 00:31:50,210
Specifically, it was made for racing
in a brand-new motorsport
506
00:31:50,210 --> 00:31:51,730
called Extreme E.
507
00:31:53,970 --> 00:31:58,370
Launching this year, it'll see a
whole grid of these Odyssey buggies
508
00:31:58,370 --> 00:32:03,210
battling it out in exotic locations
all over the world.
509
00:32:03,210 --> 00:32:05,930
And the talent's queuing up already.
510
00:32:05,930 --> 00:32:09,490
Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton
are running teams.
511
00:32:09,490 --> 00:32:11,210
Seb Loeb driving.
512
00:32:11,210 --> 00:32:13,410
Jenson Button, he's doing both.
513
00:32:13,410 --> 00:32:15,810
Oh, it's proper racer champion stuff.
514
00:32:17,530 --> 00:32:21,490
But what makes this a bit different
is that they'll be racing
515
00:32:21,490 --> 00:32:24,770
through some of the most damaged
ecosystems on the planet...
516
00:32:26,290 --> 00:32:30,770
..across deserts, glaciers,
even rainforests,
517
00:32:30,770 --> 00:32:34,210
in a bid to raise awareness
of climate change.
518
00:32:36,090 --> 00:32:39,930
To me, it's like educating people
on elephant poaching
519
00:32:39,930 --> 00:32:41,770
by shooting a load of them.
520
00:32:43,290 --> 00:32:46,010
Extreme E, though,
they've thought about that.
521
00:32:47,450 --> 00:32:50,450
They're not flying cars and kit
all over the world.
522
00:32:50,450 --> 00:32:52,970
They get from race to race on a cargo ship.
523
00:32:52,970 --> 00:32:55,450
They're doing eco education programmes.
524
00:32:57,050 --> 00:32:58,490
It's carbon negative.
525
00:32:59,650 --> 00:33:01,210
Even Greta would like this.
526
00:33:04,010 --> 00:33:08,210
Basically, this is ethical Fairtrade
organic motorsport.
527
00:33:09,570 --> 00:33:12,250
And then there's the cars themselves.
528
00:33:14,650 --> 00:33:18,210
Obviously, it's electric,
so there's no fume-y emissions,
529
00:33:18,210 --> 00:33:22,490
but there's more. The bodywork -
it's made of plant fibre!
530
00:33:22,490 --> 00:33:26,010
Listen to this - the tyres
are made of bits of dandelion.
531
00:33:26,010 --> 00:33:28,770
Seriously! Dandelion.
532
00:33:32,170 --> 00:33:37,090
And underneath all that greenery,
it's still a serious piece of kit.
533
00:33:38,330 --> 00:33:43,490
The battery's made by Williams. It
sends power to a motor on each axle,
534
00:33:43,490 --> 00:33:45,610
so it's got four-wheel drive...
535
00:33:47,530 --> 00:33:50,490
..and twice as much torque as a WRC car.
536
00:33:51,610 --> 00:33:56,050
It's got double wishbone suspension,
which will soak up anything.
537
00:33:56,050 --> 00:33:59,210
It'll get up and down 53-degree slopes.
538
00:33:59,210 --> 00:34:02,090
Go on, son!
539
00:34:02,090 --> 00:34:03,890
Is there anything this car can't do?
540
00:34:05,570 --> 00:34:07,490
Actually, there is,
541
00:34:07,490 --> 00:34:13,530
and unfortunately, the thing this
car can't do is go very far.
542
00:34:13,530 --> 00:34:16,770
Oh, come on. I'm out of juice!
543
00:34:16,770 --> 00:34:18,610
You're not surprised, are you?
544
00:34:18,610 --> 00:34:21,370
You drive it hard, you get about 20 minutes.
545
00:34:21,370 --> 00:34:25,570
Here we go, it's dying now.
I've got me foot on the floor.
546
00:34:25,570 --> 00:34:28,010
Now I've got to plug it in for two hours.
547
00:34:32,450 --> 00:34:37,130
So what they've made here
is a fun impractical toy
548
00:34:37,130 --> 00:34:40,530
that doesn't last long before
you have to charge the batteries.
549
00:34:45,250 --> 00:34:48,130
What they've made is a big one of these.
550
00:34:51,770 --> 00:34:53,250
Hey! Hey!
551
00:34:54,970 --> 00:34:56,850
This is just pure fun.
552
00:34:58,450 --> 00:35:03,810
And the lack of range does mean that
Extreme E races are quite short.
553
00:35:03,810 --> 00:35:09,650
The average F1 race runs close to
200 miles. Extreme E - 10.
554
00:35:10,770 --> 00:35:12,730
Yeah, the charging thing's a pain,
555
00:35:12,730 --> 00:35:14,690
but I suppose you've got to start somewhere.
556
00:35:14,690 --> 00:35:16,090
That's how progress works.
557
00:35:16,090 --> 00:35:18,250
This is just the first step.
558
00:35:18,250 --> 00:35:20,890
Batteries will get better,
charging'll get quicker.
559
00:35:20,890 --> 00:35:25,490
And if it doesn't,
we just keep racing petrol cars.
560
00:35:25,490 --> 00:35:30,250
To be fair, though, at least,
they're trying to change the game.
561
00:35:30,250 --> 00:35:31,410
At every race,
562
00:35:31,410 --> 00:35:34,490
they'll have a high-tech hydrogen
fuel cell generator,
563
00:35:34,490 --> 00:35:38,610
producing all the clean electricity
the cars need to charge up.
564
00:35:41,010 --> 00:35:46,530
It's proper future motorsport
stuff, and if nothing else,
565
00:35:46,530 --> 00:35:50,970
when your Odyssey 21 is finally
charged up again,
566
00:35:50,970 --> 00:35:54,250
you're definitely ready to
give it another go.
567
00:35:59,130 --> 00:36:00,490
Oh-ho-ho!
568
00:36:04,010 --> 00:36:07,290
Maybe Extreme E will be the next F1.
569
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:09,370
Maybe it won't.
570
00:36:09,370 --> 00:36:14,130
But what it does prove is that
electric is not just for the roads
571
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:15,570
or the tracks.
572
00:36:15,570 --> 00:36:18,210
Electric will get you anywhere,
573
00:36:18,210 --> 00:36:22,130
as long as anywhere isn't more than
ten miles from where you started,
574
00:36:22,130 --> 00:36:23,850
like, it'll get you anywhere, fast.
575
00:36:28,730 --> 00:36:31,450
This thing, it's a monster.
576
00:36:36,970 --> 00:36:41,930
But here's the thing - it's 2021,
and the producers were keen to
577
00:36:41,930 --> 00:36:45,890
point out that when it comes to new
and unusual ways to travel quickly
578
00:36:45,890 --> 00:36:50,290
over rough ground,
other options are available.
579
00:36:57,730 --> 00:37:00,090
For example, jet packs.
580
00:37:01,770 --> 00:37:03,970
Oh, my word! Look at it.
581
00:37:09,170 --> 00:37:13,530
Yes, me and the Odyssey 21 would now
be going up against
582
00:37:13,530 --> 00:37:20,250
Britain's leading and, let's face
it, probably only Jetpackman,
583
00:37:20,250 --> 00:37:22,530
a bloke called Richard Browning.
584
00:37:26,090 --> 00:37:28,730
- Richard! Freddie.
- Thanks for dropping in.
585
00:37:28,730 --> 00:37:31,410
- That's all right.
- What is that?
586
00:37:31,410 --> 00:37:32,890
This is my Jet Suit.
587
00:37:32,890 --> 00:37:35,970
It's five jet engines,
and it's about 1,000 horsepower.
588
00:37:35,970 --> 00:37:38,090
You've got 1,000 horsepower
in your rucksack?
589
00:37:38,090 --> 00:37:39,650
Yeah, if you add it all up, yeah.
590
00:37:39,650 --> 00:37:40,930
What speed?
591
00:37:40,930 --> 00:37:42,890
We set the world record at 85mph,
592
00:37:42,890 --> 00:37:45,410
but that was over the water,
so maybe not quite that fast here,
593
00:37:45,410 --> 00:37:48,050
but still pretty quick. All right,
don't make excuses already,
594
00:37:48,050 --> 00:37:50,730
cos I'm going to race you now.
First to the top of the hill wins.
595
00:37:50,730 --> 00:37:52,850
- Yep. I'll see you at the top.
- You're on.
596
00:37:53,890 --> 00:37:56,210
I'm racing a Poundland Tony Stark.
597
00:38:00,490 --> 00:38:04,970
With the title of all terrain
transport of the future at stake...
598
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:09,570
..the winner would be the first
to reach the wind turbine
599
00:38:09,570 --> 00:38:11,050
at the top of the hill.
600
00:38:11,050 --> 00:38:14,490
And while the Odyssey and I would
have to stick to the gravel tracks
601
00:38:14,490 --> 00:38:19,610
on a longer route up, Richard will
be travelling as the crow flies.
602
00:38:35,610 --> 00:38:37,250
Oh, listen to him!
603
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:40,210
Three, two, one, go!
604
00:38:43,370 --> 00:38:44,490
I'm off!
605
00:38:44,490 --> 00:38:46,290
And he's off as well.
606
00:38:49,090 --> 00:38:50,730
Whoa! Some jump.
607
00:38:52,370 --> 00:38:53,810
Come on.
608
00:38:53,810 --> 00:38:56,850
This is the weirdest thing.
I've got no idea where he is.
609
00:38:58,330 --> 00:39:00,010
Better brake here.
610
00:39:00,010 --> 00:39:02,690
Come on! It is so slippery.
611
00:39:04,490 --> 00:39:07,330
Bit messy, a bit messy. Come on.
612
00:39:10,370 --> 00:39:13,450
I'm not getting much
from these dandelion tyres.
613
00:39:13,450 --> 00:39:15,490
More like dandelion and burdock, these.
614
00:39:19,450 --> 00:39:20,890
Come on. I can hear him.
615
00:39:21,970 --> 00:39:23,650
Oh, there he is!
616
00:39:23,650 --> 00:39:25,730
Jeez! What a sight!
617
00:39:27,970 --> 00:39:31,810
Well, this snow is
giving me absolutely nothing.
618
00:39:33,210 --> 00:39:36,650
I don't know what it's like for him,
but I'm concentrating so hard.
619
00:39:38,970 --> 00:39:40,410
Argh!
620
00:39:40,410 --> 00:39:42,610
Just got no grip.
621
00:39:42,610 --> 00:39:44,210
Oh, man!
622
00:39:44,210 --> 00:39:46,130
No! That's going to cost me.
623
00:39:51,210 --> 00:39:53,170
Come on! Where is the jet pack?
624
00:40:00,730 --> 00:40:02,650
Oh, there he is!
625
00:40:02,650 --> 00:40:04,010
No!
626
00:40:06,610 --> 00:40:09,490
Richard and his jetpack just had the lead
627
00:40:09,490 --> 00:40:11,530
as we passed the halfway mark.
628
00:40:11,530 --> 00:40:15,250
Me and the Odyssey
needed to push even harder.
629
00:40:18,970 --> 00:40:20,650
Now off the snow,
630
00:40:20,650 --> 00:40:23,050
and now onto the mud.
631
00:40:28,810 --> 00:40:30,050
Nice, nice, nice.
632
00:40:34,210 --> 00:40:36,010
Come on. Get him, get him!
633
00:40:37,250 --> 00:40:38,690
Get through the gate!
634
00:40:45,850 --> 00:40:47,210
Come on, get round.
635
00:40:48,810 --> 00:40:50,290
I can't see him!
636
00:40:52,010 --> 00:40:55,690
I can see the turbine. Go, go, go! Come on.
637
00:40:55,690 --> 00:40:57,530
Where's Jetpackman?
638
00:40:57,530 --> 00:40:59,730
I can't hear him, I can't see him.
639
00:41:02,690 --> 00:41:04,010
No!
640
00:41:06,450 --> 00:41:07,850
No!
641
00:41:11,530 --> 00:41:15,250
Oh! Well done. How was it?
642
00:41:16,410 --> 00:41:19,090
Oh, that was good.
Yeah, congrats. Thank you.
643
00:41:19,090 --> 00:41:20,930
Best out of three?
644
00:41:20,930 --> 00:41:22,530
Oh, I'm done. I've got to go.
645
00:41:22,530 --> 00:41:24,850
I've got 50% range left.
646
00:41:24,850 --> 00:41:26,130
Huh?
647
00:41:26,130 --> 00:41:27,330
Oh...
648
00:41:27,330 --> 00:41:28,370
Come on!
649
00:41:30,050 --> 00:41:32,450
Do you fancy cleaning me gutters?
650
00:41:44,730 --> 00:41:46,770
Oh, mate! That were good fun,
651
00:41:46,770 --> 00:41:49,610
but I've got to say,
I'm a little bit disappointed.
652
00:41:49,610 --> 00:41:52,610
I know, I lost. I'm sorry,
No, I'm not bothered about that.
653
00:41:52,610 --> 00:41:55,730
I'm disappointed because you didn't
give the jetpack a whirl.
654
00:41:55,730 --> 00:41:57,370
Well, I wanted to,
655
00:41:57,370 --> 00:41:59,930
but the BBC insurance department
weren't too keen.
656
00:41:59,930 --> 00:42:01,130
Not sure why!
657
00:42:01,130 --> 00:42:03,130
What was it like flying over the car?
658
00:42:03,130 --> 00:42:04,810
Oh, it was unbelievable, the noise of it.
659
00:42:04,810 --> 00:42:07,290
And then I was racing, and you're looking up
660
00:42:07,290 --> 00:42:09,410
just trying to spot him,
and when he came across,
661
00:42:09,410 --> 00:42:11,650
it's like nothing you've seen.
It was bonkers.
662
00:42:11,650 --> 00:42:14,090
And he had afterburners, boys,
he had afterburners.
663
00:42:14,090 --> 00:42:16,810
- Afterburners, yeah.
- On his arms! Mad.
664
00:42:16,810 --> 00:42:21,130
I have to say, Fred, ten-mile range
aside, it's outrageous.
665
00:42:21,130 --> 00:42:23,210
It really is. 550 horsepower,
666
00:42:23,210 --> 00:42:26,890
0-60 under five seconds... Ooh!
..on anything.
667
00:42:26,890 --> 00:42:30,210
I can't believe how big it is!
It's massive. It's massive!
668
00:42:30,210 --> 00:42:32,530
- Do you know what?
- It's Flintoff-sized.
669
00:42:32,530 --> 00:42:34,010
It's Flintoff-sized, yeah.
670
00:42:34,010 --> 00:42:38,610
I can safely say that is my
favourite weekend of driving ever.
671
00:42:38,610 --> 00:42:41,650
- Ever. Really?
- Yeah! Lovely note to end on.
672
00:42:41,650 --> 00:42:44,410
Time to move on, because here's
a question we get asked a lot
673
00:42:44,410 --> 00:42:45,570
on Top Gear.
674
00:42:45,570 --> 00:42:47,130
"I've got 200 grand to spend.
675
00:42:47,130 --> 00:42:50,090
"I want something exotic
and glamorous and Italian.
676
00:42:50,090 --> 00:42:51,490
"What should I buy?"
677
00:42:51,490 --> 00:42:53,810
You wouldn't believe how often
we get asked that.
678
00:42:53,810 --> 00:42:55,970
Well, I reckon I knew the answer.
679
00:42:55,970 --> 00:42:58,370
- And so did I.
- Have a look at this.
680
00:43:04,290 --> 00:43:06,290
Exotic, glamorous...
681
00:43:08,170 --> 00:43:09,890
..and Italian.
682
00:43:09,890 --> 00:43:14,410
Say "Ciao Bella," to the beautiful
new Ferrari Roma.
683
00:43:22,970 --> 00:43:27,090
Eyes of Britain, you are welcome.
684
00:43:27,090 --> 00:43:29,530
Drink it in, soak it up...
685
00:43:30,690 --> 00:43:35,290
..luxuriate in it, because this is
the best-looking Ferrari
686
00:43:35,290 --> 00:43:37,130
of the last 20 years.
687
00:43:40,290 --> 00:43:43,330
Most fast cars now,
they're all a bit slatty,
688
00:43:43,330 --> 00:43:46,570
and a bit scoopy, a bit too try-hard.
689
00:43:48,170 --> 00:43:52,410
Not the Roma. The Roma's
sophisticated, it's subtle.
690
00:43:53,490 --> 00:43:55,370
Well, apart from the price.
691
00:43:58,090 --> 00:44:01,690
The Roma starts at £170,000,
692
00:44:01,690 --> 00:44:05,050
but, this being a Ferrari,
693
00:44:05,050 --> 00:44:07,650
by the time you've glanced at
the options list,
694
00:44:07,650 --> 00:44:09,810
you'll be over 200 grand easy.
695
00:44:12,890 --> 00:44:14,810
Nothing subtle about that.
696
00:44:14,810 --> 00:44:16,730
So, at this kind of price,
697
00:44:16,730 --> 00:44:18,690
there should really also be
nothing subtle...
698
00:44:19,970 --> 00:44:21,650
..about the way it goes.
699
00:44:24,410 --> 00:44:27,290
Oh, mamma mia!
700
00:44:27,290 --> 00:44:28,650
Here we go again.
701
00:44:31,290 --> 00:44:32,690
What?!
702
00:44:32,690 --> 00:44:36,010
That is a fast, fast pedal.
703
00:44:37,730 --> 00:44:43,970
And that's because it's attached
to a 3.9 litre twin-turbo V8,
704
00:44:43,970 --> 00:44:46,490
making it over 600 horsepower.
705
00:44:50,210 --> 00:44:55,850
It'll get you from 0-60, in 3.2 seconds!
706
00:44:58,970 --> 00:45:04,610
Top speed - well, Ferrari say
it will do over 199mph.
707
00:45:04,610 --> 00:45:10,050
But surely, surely
if it would do 200mph they'd say so.
708
00:45:11,130 --> 00:45:15,330
So, top speed, 199...and a bit.
709
00:45:17,210 --> 00:45:21,770
Now, some people, Chris Harris,
might tell you that the Roma
710
00:45:21,770 --> 00:45:27,210
is just a hardtop version
of Ferrari's entry-level Portofino.
711
00:45:27,210 --> 00:45:30,130
But, they're wrong.
712
00:45:30,130 --> 00:45:32,810
You see, I drove the Portofino
a couple of series back
713
00:45:32,810 --> 00:45:35,290
and I loved it, I really loved it.
714
00:45:35,290 --> 00:45:37,570
But the Roma, it's faster,
715
00:45:37,570 --> 00:45:41,210
it's lighter, it's wider, it's lower.
716
00:45:42,450 --> 00:45:43,970
It's just a better car.
717
00:45:45,810 --> 00:45:48,850
Not least because the Roma
has been given the latest
718
00:45:48,850 --> 00:45:54,530
version of Ferrari's witchcraft
sideslip control system.
719
00:45:57,570 --> 00:45:59,570
Basically, if you've got a race track...
720
00:45:59,570 --> 00:46:01,210
Woo-hoo-hoo!
721
00:46:02,730 --> 00:46:04,810
..it'll help you out with the skids!
722
00:46:07,490 --> 00:46:08,850
That's what we want!
723
00:46:10,010 --> 00:46:11,810
Got it back! Come on!
724
00:46:13,650 --> 00:46:17,290
Look at it as a Help to Slide scheme.
725
00:46:20,770 --> 00:46:22,210
Thank you, sir!
726
00:46:23,810 --> 00:46:25,250
I will have another.
727
00:46:29,290 --> 00:46:34,610
Ferrari calls the Roma the new Dolce Vita.
728
00:46:34,610 --> 00:46:36,370
What a machine!
729
00:46:38,410 --> 00:46:39,490
And let me tell you,
730
00:46:39,490 --> 00:46:44,290
for once the marketing speak
is bang on the money.
731
00:46:46,890 --> 00:46:50,970
Exotic, glamorous, Italian, great to drive.
732
00:46:51,930 --> 00:46:53,130
Come on.
733
00:46:53,130 --> 00:46:54,370
It's the only answer.
734
00:46:59,050 --> 00:47:00,850
It isn't.
735
00:47:00,850 --> 00:47:04,090
Because, why would you want
the new Dolce Vita
736
00:47:04,090 --> 00:47:06,730
when you could have the original?
737
00:47:10,010 --> 00:47:13,930
Meet the GTA-R 290.
738
00:47:13,930 --> 00:47:17,530
Yes, it's a 1960s Alfa Romeo.
739
00:47:17,530 --> 00:47:20,930
But it's also so much more than that.
740
00:47:22,170 --> 00:47:27,890
This masterpiece is the work
of a tiny company from Somerset
741
00:47:27,890 --> 00:47:29,730
called Alfaholics.
742
00:47:29,730 --> 00:47:35,170
It's been painstakingly built
over 3,000 hours,
743
00:47:35,170 --> 00:47:38,370
and it is...exquisite.
744
00:47:47,090 --> 00:47:52,930
This is what's called a restomod
which, for proper supercar money,
745
00:47:52,930 --> 00:47:57,010
is a classic car restored,
upgraded, and improved
746
00:47:57,010 --> 00:47:59,810
by modern engineering know-how
747
00:47:59,810 --> 00:48:04,770
to create a tailor-made,
pocket-sized slice of perfection.
748
00:48:05,850 --> 00:48:09,890
Out the front there,
I've got the most glorious twin cam
749
00:48:09,890 --> 00:48:13,370
four-cylinder engine with 240 horsepower.
750
00:48:18,130 --> 00:48:19,170
Woo!
751
00:48:20,690 --> 00:48:26,970
I don't care if the top speed's
only 150mph, or not even 150mph.
752
00:48:26,970 --> 00:48:30,410
It's only got a 2.2-litre engine.
But listen to it.
753
00:48:33,770 --> 00:48:35,330
The noise.
754
00:48:35,330 --> 00:48:38,250
Have you ever heard
a four-cylinder sound like that?
755
00:48:41,370 --> 00:48:42,450
Do you know what?
756
00:48:42,450 --> 00:48:44,570
It sounds better than most modern V8s!
757
00:48:51,170 --> 00:48:55,330
And I've got real-wheel drive, I've
got no ABS, no traction control,
758
00:48:55,330 --> 00:48:57,250
no stability systems.
759
00:48:57,250 --> 00:49:00,450
This is absolute analogue driving.
760
00:49:00,450 --> 00:49:05,050
This is to driving
what a record player is to music.
761
00:49:06,050 --> 00:49:08,930
♪ And I'm so glad we made it... ♪
762
00:49:10,050 --> 00:49:11,090

763
00:49:11,090 --> 00:49:12,610
♪ So glad we made it

00:49:12,610 --> 00:49:15,570

768
00:49:21,210 --> 00:49:23,650
♪ Gimme some lovin' every day. ♪
769
00:49:25,730 --> 00:49:30,130
I know, supercar money for
effectively hot-hatch horsepower.
770
00:49:30,130 --> 00:49:31,850
It's punchy.
771
00:49:31,850 --> 00:49:34,490
But what you need to know is there's
no car that's more enjoyable,
772
00:49:34,490 --> 00:49:38,090
more life-affirming to drive than this one.
773
00:49:39,850 --> 00:49:45,810
Honestly, I have not driven many cars
774
00:49:45,810 --> 00:49:47,890
that are more fun than this.
775
00:49:49,010 --> 00:49:51,250
Oh, circus must be in town.
776
00:49:55,610 --> 00:49:57,770
Now we're talking, McGuinness.
777
00:50:02,050 --> 00:50:05,010
Paddy. Ah, charming.
778
00:50:05,010 --> 00:50:06,170
It's beautiful. Yeah.
779
00:50:06,170 --> 00:50:08,490
Isn't it the most perfectly
proportioned car ever made?
780
00:50:08,490 --> 00:50:11,530
Gorgeous little thing,
but you're not seriously telling me
781
00:50:11,530 --> 00:50:13,290
that's the 200-grand car?
782
00:50:13,290 --> 00:50:15,330
Well, actually, it's not £200,000.
Thank God.
783
00:50:15,330 --> 00:50:18,050
No, it's £250,000. Ooh.
This is 250 grand.
784
00:50:18,050 --> 00:50:22,690
Whoa, hang on a minute, before you
do things like that, warn me.
785
00:50:24,210 --> 00:50:26,690
A few years ago, they'd build you
one for 200, but now they're
786
00:50:26,690 --> 00:50:31,050
using even funkier metals, more
beautiful materials, so now 250.
787
00:50:32,930 --> 00:50:35,290
If Noddy wins the lottery, fair enough,
788
00:50:35,290 --> 00:50:37,250
but after that it's ridiculous.
789
00:50:37,250 --> 00:50:39,610
- And this one actually is 325.
- Oh, wow!
790
00:50:39,610 --> 00:50:43,810
It's got titanium suspension components.
791
00:50:43,810 --> 00:50:45,530
300 and what?
792
00:50:47,690 --> 00:50:48,810
That's ridiculous.
793
00:50:48,810 --> 00:50:51,330
This is just a couple of quid
over 220, this. OK.
794
00:50:51,330 --> 00:50:53,130
But just look at them. Come on.
795
00:50:53,130 --> 00:50:56,330
This here is a better-looking car
than that car.
796
00:50:56,330 --> 00:50:58,850
Oh, come on. Christopher.
It looks like an Aston Martin.
797
00:50:58,850 --> 00:51:00,250
It doesn't look like a Ferrari.
798
00:51:00,250 --> 00:51:02,130
A Ferrari should look like a Ferrari.
799
00:51:02,130 --> 00:51:04,210
Is that a bad thing,
it looking a bit like an Aston?
800
00:51:04,210 --> 00:51:08,010
Are you going to go, "Excuse me, he
looks a bit like George Clooney"?
801
00:51:08,010 --> 00:51:09,570
"Yes, I do."
802
00:51:09,570 --> 00:51:12,730
No-one's ever said
you look like George Clooney ever.
803
00:51:12,730 --> 00:51:15,410
Anyhow, how powerful?
804
00:51:15,410 --> 00:51:16,810
240 horsepower.
805
00:51:16,810 --> 00:51:18,410
600, my friend.
806
00:51:18,410 --> 00:51:19,690
Half the weight.
807
00:51:19,690 --> 00:51:21,170
Under 800kg.
808
00:51:21,170 --> 00:51:24,090
Power to weight ratio means
I'm just about there.
809
00:51:24,090 --> 00:51:26,690
I reckon it's nearly as quick as that.
810
00:51:26,690 --> 00:51:27,930
Wow. It is.
811
00:51:27,930 --> 00:51:29,010
It's finally happened.
812
00:51:29,010 --> 00:51:30,770
- What? You've lost the plot.
- No, I haven't.
813
00:51:30,770 --> 00:51:32,490
Only one way to sort it.
814
00:51:32,490 --> 00:51:33,610
Science.
815
00:51:33,610 --> 00:51:35,170
Lovely.
816
00:51:35,170 --> 00:51:36,810
Why have you just locked the car?
817
00:51:38,770 --> 00:51:41,730
To show Harris just how mad
you'd have to be to choose
818
00:51:41,730 --> 00:51:48,250
the Alfa over the Roma,
it was time for a simple test.
819
00:51:48,250 --> 00:51:52,050
Half a mile up the runway,
round the cone, and back again.
820
00:51:52,050 --> 00:51:54,530
Winner? Come on!
821
00:51:54,530 --> 00:51:56,370
It's obvious.
822
00:51:56,370 --> 00:52:00,490
OK, is the £325,000 car ready?
823
00:52:02,170 --> 00:52:04,130
Yes, Patrick.
824
00:52:04,130 --> 00:52:05,250
Bring it.
825
00:52:13,530 --> 00:52:15,890
Three, two, one,
826
00:52:15,890 --> 00:52:17,170
go!
827
00:52:17,170 --> 00:52:18,610
Oooh!
828
00:52:19,970 --> 00:52:22,850
Bye-bye, little cute Alfa!
829
00:52:22,850 --> 00:52:24,610
Whoar! It's a rocket, is the Roma.
830
00:52:24,610 --> 00:52:27,290
It's a rocket! But who cares?!
831
00:52:29,250 --> 00:52:32,290
Wow. This thing is rapid!
832
00:52:33,530 --> 00:52:35,690
Listen to the noise!
833
00:52:35,690 --> 00:52:37,530
Look at the majesty of it!
834
00:52:41,010 --> 00:52:43,810
Ooooh! Off we go!
835
00:52:46,170 --> 00:52:47,690
It's understeer central!
836
00:52:55,010 --> 00:52:56,730
Here we go.
837
00:52:56,730 --> 00:52:59,370
That'll do us. Left him for dust.
838
00:53:02,650 --> 00:53:04,410
This is how you lose a drag race.
839
00:53:07,290 --> 00:53:08,450
He's skidding about.
840
00:53:08,450 --> 00:53:09,730
Let's see what he says.
841
00:53:12,610 --> 00:53:13,770
Welcome.
842
00:53:15,410 --> 00:53:19,170
I don't know what you've proved
there other than that I look better.
843
00:53:19,170 --> 00:53:21,930
Well, I've proved that this car
is far superior to that.
844
00:53:21,930 --> 00:53:24,210
It's just left you for dead.
845
00:53:24,210 --> 00:53:25,850
Superior means what?
846
00:53:25,850 --> 00:53:27,130
Faster.
847
00:53:30,130 --> 00:53:33,770
Clearly what McGuinness needed
was to see what the Alfa was
848
00:53:33,770 --> 00:53:36,010
really made of first-hand.
849
00:53:37,050 --> 00:53:38,330
This is cosy, isn't it, Pad?
850
00:53:38,330 --> 00:53:39,810
Oh, God.
851
00:53:39,810 --> 00:53:42,090
How do I put Radio 2 on?
852
00:53:42,090 --> 00:53:43,370
It doesn't have a radio.
853
00:53:43,370 --> 00:53:44,810
Doesn't have a radio?!
854
00:53:48,570 --> 00:53:50,290
That's aggressive, Chris.
855
00:53:51,610 --> 00:53:53,690
Now, Patrick, this is what it's all about.
856
00:53:53,690 --> 00:53:54,730
Now...
857
00:53:54,730 --> 00:53:56,450
Black Betty by Ram Jam
858
00:53:56,450 --> 00:53:57,730
Oh, dear me.
859
00:53:57,730 --> 00:53:59,170
Come on!
860
00:54:00,610 --> 00:54:03,130
It's the best car you can buy for the money.
861
00:54:03,130 --> 00:54:05,850
I mean, it's 325 grand!
862
00:54:05,850 --> 00:54:08,330
We can't even have a conversation!
863
00:54:08,330 --> 00:54:11,210
Since the passenger seat
wasn't quite doing the trick...
864
00:54:13,890 --> 00:54:15,650
I'm feeling nauseous!
865
00:54:15,650 --> 00:54:18,250
..in one last bid to make him see sense...
866
00:54:18,250 --> 00:54:19,330
Oh!
867
00:54:19,330 --> 00:54:22,690
..I came up with, a little test of my own.
868
00:54:23,690 --> 00:54:28,010
OK, I bet you that if you manage
to not crack a smile
869
00:54:28,010 --> 00:54:30,610
- driving this gorgeous machine...
- Yeah.
870
00:54:30,610 --> 00:54:32,770
..I'll present the rest
of the show in my underpants.
871
00:54:32,770 --> 00:54:34,170
Wow.
872
00:54:34,170 --> 00:54:37,730
- And, of course, if you do crack a smile...
- Yeah.
873
00:54:37,730 --> 00:54:40,090
..then you present the show
in your underpants.
874
00:54:40,090 --> 00:54:41,290
Oh.
875
00:54:41,290 --> 00:54:44,170
Do you know what, can I firstly
just say I can't believe
876
00:54:44,170 --> 00:54:46,010
we're using the word underpants.
877
00:54:46,010 --> 00:54:47,850
That shows our age.
878
00:54:47,850 --> 00:54:49,410
But all right.
879
00:54:51,730 --> 00:54:55,330
Right, because I know that you're
going to question any decision
880
00:54:55,330 --> 00:54:57,810
I make about the smile,
or what constitutes a smile...
881
00:54:57,810 --> 00:55:00,650
Well, I've got to say... I've got
with me a smileometer. What?
882
00:55:00,650 --> 00:55:01,810
A smileometer.
883
00:55:01,810 --> 00:55:04,570
Can you actually smile, by the way?
No, I don't do much smiling.
884
00:55:04,570 --> 00:55:06,570
I've never seen you smile, funnily enough.
885
00:55:06,570 --> 00:55:09,330
Just drive it... Are we going?
..and soak it up. It's gorgeous.
886
00:55:10,890 --> 00:55:12,050
Here we go.
887
00:55:14,490 --> 00:55:16,250
♪ One, two, three Good love... ♪
888
00:55:17,290 --> 00:55:19,530
- Listen to that noise.
- Listen to that noise!
889
00:55:19,530 --> 00:55:22,290
I've got to say, it's a different
experience when you're sat here.
890
00:55:22,290 --> 00:55:23,490
♪ Good love... ♪
891
00:55:23,490 --> 00:55:26,050

and you're controlling it.

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah... ♪
893
00:55:29,290 --> 00:55:30,930

895
00:55:33,330 --> 00:55:35,090

Love it!
897
00:55:36,650 --> 00:55:39,450
Now you feel so much better
than driving that Ferrari.
898
00:55:39,450 --> 00:55:41,850
Listen, I'll agree with you, I feel alive.
899
00:55:46,370 --> 00:55:47,490
Yeah!
900
00:55:47,490 --> 00:55:49,170

901
00:55:49,170 --> 00:55:50,650

902
00:55:50,650 --> 00:55:52,650
Paddy is sliding it!
903
00:55:54,490 --> 00:55:57,210
I'm not smiling, I'm just a bit bemused.
904
00:55:57,210 --> 00:55:58,290
Yes, he is!
905
00:55:58,290 --> 00:55:59,730
It surprised me.
906
00:55:59,730 --> 00:56:02,330
- You are smiling!
- That's what I'm saying.
907
00:56:02,330 --> 00:56:04,330
- You are smiling and you...
- Oh, and he's off.
908
00:56:04,330 --> 00:56:06,050
No, I'm not! No, I'm not!
909
00:56:06,050 --> 00:56:07,170
Whoa!
910
00:56:09,250 --> 00:56:10,410
That wasn't a smile.
911
00:56:14,250 --> 00:56:17,930
We've had, I think, five or six big smiles.
912
00:56:17,930 --> 00:56:20,610
Where have I...?
We've had a howl with laughter.
913
00:56:20,610 --> 00:56:22,290
You're in your pants, son.
914
00:56:22,290 --> 00:56:24,610
What are you on about?
The Alfa Romeo has rendered you...
915
00:56:24,610 --> 00:56:27,370
There's been no howling laughter.
You were howling with laughter.
916
00:56:27,370 --> 00:56:29,690
I've told you,
there's different gauges of smiling!
917
00:56:40,210 --> 00:56:41,570
Fair play.
918
00:56:41,570 --> 00:56:43,610
You are a man of your word.
919
00:56:43,610 --> 00:56:45,850
Can we just please
get on with it very quickly?
920
00:56:45,850 --> 00:56:48,010
No, no, no, there's no need to rush here.
921
00:56:48,010 --> 00:56:50,250
There's a lady up there shut her curtains.
922
00:56:50,250 --> 00:56:52,610
But on the plus side
that fella's opened his.
923
00:56:52,610 --> 00:56:54,330
Hello, mate!
924
00:56:54,330 --> 00:56:55,890
Ho-ho! Enjoy!
925
00:56:55,890 --> 00:56:59,090
Now, look here,
which of these two would you have?
926
00:56:59,090 --> 00:57:01,650
Well, I'll never say this to you
again, Chris, but I want to know
927
00:57:01,650 --> 00:57:03,410
more about that car from you.
928
00:57:03,410 --> 00:57:04,570
Firstly... Yeah?
929
00:57:04,570 --> 00:57:06,570
..what's the power-to-weight ratio?
930
00:57:06,570 --> 00:57:09,050
Well, it's called the 290.
It's just under 300 horsepower.
931
00:57:09,050 --> 00:57:12,050
Come on, boys. I'm cold.
Hang on, Pad. I'm cold...
932
00:57:12,050 --> 00:57:13,330
Is it true it's got...?
933
00:57:13,330 --> 00:57:15,610
..and things are shrinking.
934
00:57:15,610 --> 00:57:18,330
- Please.
- Is it true it's got 300mm brakes?
935
00:57:18,330 --> 00:57:21,410
It has. Has it got...? It has. When
are you interested in that ever?
936
00:57:21,410 --> 00:57:22,850
I'm just trying to educate myself.
937
00:57:22,850 --> 00:57:24,610
This is a car show. This is a car show.
938
00:57:24,610 --> 00:57:26,770
- Get on to that against that!
- Come on!
939
00:57:27,810 --> 00:57:30,250
So which one would you have?
Come on, give us an answer, Fred.
940
00:57:30,250 --> 00:57:32,090
Pick that. Let's get on with it.
941
00:57:32,090 --> 00:57:33,970
You know I love Ferrari.
942
00:57:33,970 --> 00:57:35,010
Yeah.
943
00:57:35,010 --> 00:57:37,570
But there'll be a new one
along in 18 months' time.
944
00:57:37,570 --> 00:57:38,850
A valid point, Andrew.
945
00:57:38,850 --> 00:57:41,490
And I am a sucker for a classic.
946
00:57:41,490 --> 00:57:42,530
Chris. Yeah?
947
00:57:42,530 --> 00:57:44,570
I'm going with the Alfa.
Thank you! What a result.
948
00:57:44,570 --> 00:57:46,170
- I'm going with the Alfa.
- What a result.
949
00:57:46,170 --> 00:57:47,650
Thank you. Thank you.
950
00:57:49,330 --> 00:57:50,890
Good, that's that settled.
951
00:57:50,890 --> 00:57:53,650
We're back next week with a big
off-road expedition across
952
00:57:53,650 --> 00:57:57,170
the Highlands of Scotland,
and I'll have my trousers back on.
953
00:57:57,170 --> 00:57:58,850
Sorry about that, mate.
954
00:57:58,850 --> 00:58:01,210
See you then, good night!
