(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
2
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:39,280
Hello. Welcome to Top Gear.
3
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:40,520
In tonight's show,
4
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:42,760
we've got every sort of car
you can imagine.
5
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:44,440
We're rammed to the gills
with 'em.
6
00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:46,000
We've got dirt-cheap cars.
7
00:00:46,101 --> 00:00:47,561
We've got Italian supercars.
8
00:00:47,661 --> 00:00:49,881
- We've got electric cars.
- We've got pick-up trucks.
9
00:00:49,981 --> 00:00:51,521
And, ladies and gentlemen,
10
00:00:51,621 --> 00:00:55,361
we've also got
a Vauxhall Agila!
11
00:00:55,461 --> 00:00:57,761
- Rrrrr-reee!
- Agila! Agila!
12
00:00:57,861 --> 00:00:59,881
Whatever your tastes,
whatever your budget,
13
00:00:59,981 --> 00:01:01,721
we've got something for you
tonight.
14
00:01:01,821 --> 00:01:04,161
But we're kicking off
with one of the greatest names
15
00:01:04,261 --> 00:01:06,261
in motoring.
16
00:01:09,022 --> 00:01:11,022
CHRIS: Maserati.
17
00:01:13,342 --> 00:01:18,922
The Italian sports car company
with a truly glorious history.
18
00:01:19,022 --> 00:01:20,722
COMMENTATOR: Stirling Moss
in his Maserati number 7
19
00:01:20,822 --> 00:01:21,962
wins the race.
20
00:01:22,062 --> 00:01:24,522
CHRIS: There at the very dawn
of Formula 1,
21
00:01:24,622 --> 00:01:28,362
this was the team that took
the great Juan Manuel Fangio
22
00:01:28,462 --> 00:01:30,682
to his final F1 title
23
00:01:30,783 --> 00:01:32,443
and went on to build
24
00:01:32,543 --> 00:01:36,203
some of the most beautiful
race cars, and road cars,
25
00:01:36,303 --> 00:01:38,303
ever seen.
26
00:01:41,983 --> 00:01:44,083
But in recent times,
27
00:01:44,183 --> 00:01:47,963
the shine has faded
on the old trident badge.
28
00:01:48,063 --> 00:01:50,563
Yes, there have been
some decent saloons
29
00:01:50,663 --> 00:01:52,523
and pretty coupés,
30
00:01:52,624 --> 00:01:55,764
but the closest Maserati has
come to a real head-turner
31
00:01:55,864 --> 00:01:58,364
was 2004's MC12,
32
00:01:58,464 --> 00:02:02,024
which was just a Ferrari Enzo
with a body kit.
33
00:02:07,104 --> 00:02:09,964
For the last genuine
Maserati supercar
34
00:02:10,064 --> 00:02:12,064
you've got
to go back to this...
35
00:02:13,344 --> 00:02:16,114
...the beautiful Bora.
36
00:02:23,465 --> 00:02:25,685
This was the last genuine
Maserati supercar,
37
00:02:25,785 --> 00:02:28,545
and it was built in 1971.
38
00:02:31,825 --> 00:02:35,825
So we haven't had a new one
in over 50 years.
39
00:02:39,546 --> 00:02:42,026
Must be time for a new one,
then.
40
00:02:47,146 --> 00:02:49,246
This is the all-new
41
00:02:49,346 --> 00:02:53,926
Maserati MC20.
42
00:02:54,026 --> 00:02:56,026
It's got supercar looks.
43
00:02:57,026 --> 00:02:59,026
It's got supercar doors.
44
00:03:00,147 --> 00:03:03,927
And with prices
starting at £190,000,
45
00:03:04,027 --> 00:03:06,947
it's got a proper
supercar price tag.
46
00:03:19,947 --> 00:03:23,567
But after 50 years
out of the game,
47
00:03:23,668 --> 00:03:28,208
what sort of a supercar
has Maserati built?
48
00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:29,688
You might think
49
00:03:29,788 --> 00:03:33,408
if you were building a supercar
from scratch
50
00:03:33,508 --> 00:03:35,728
fit for the third decade
of the 21st century
51
00:03:35,828 --> 00:03:39,848
that you'd go for some electric
hybrid plug-in thingy.
52
00:03:39,948 --> 00:03:44,128
But the MC20 is at heart
quite old school.
53
00:03:44,228 --> 00:03:47,008
No e-motor,
no regenerative braking,
54
00:03:47,109 --> 00:03:50,569
just a turbo-charged V6
behind me
55
00:03:50,669 --> 00:03:53,229
sending power
to the rear wheels.
56
00:03:58,309 --> 00:04:03,629
That turbo-charged V6
makes 621 horsepower...
57
00:04:05,189 --> 00:04:08,529
...which, in a car that weighs
just under 1,500 kilos,
58
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:10,630
is plenty.
59
00:04:15,550 --> 00:04:19,270
It'll do 0-60 in 2.9 seconds...
60
00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:23,290
...and over 200mph flat out.
61
00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:27,810
By any standards,
it's a very fast car!
62
00:04:27,910 --> 00:04:32,030
You're not going to be late
for anything.
63
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:43,151
So, it definitely does the
whole supercar speed thing...
64
00:04:45,431 --> 00:04:48,651
...but with a super-stiff
carbon-fibre tub,
65
00:04:48,751 --> 00:04:51,771
and double wishbone suspension
all round,
66
00:04:51,871 --> 00:04:54,211
where the MC20
really comes to life...
67
00:04:54,312 --> 00:04:57,032
...is through the corners.
68
00:04:58,072 --> 00:05:02,652
This chassis can handle
really rapid direction changes.
69
00:05:02,752 --> 00:05:05,292
Wind the lock on, it's so fast
70
00:05:05,392 --> 00:05:07,812
it darts around in a way
that no Porsche 911
71
00:05:07,912 --> 00:05:10,452
could possibly hope to do.
72
00:05:10,552 --> 00:05:12,132
You've got to be
on top of your game.
73
00:05:12,232 --> 00:05:14,232
That's the way it should be.
74
00:05:14,913 --> 00:05:18,013
Good front-end grip.
The back wants to come round,
75
00:05:18,113 --> 00:05:20,113
but it's nicely balanced.
76
00:05:29,393 --> 00:05:34,193
This is, really, a massive
620-horsepower go-kart!
77
00:05:40,154 --> 00:05:44,454
Issues?
Well, it's an Italian supercar.
78
00:05:44,554 --> 00:05:46,854
Of course there are issues.
79
00:05:46,954 --> 00:05:51,414
The brakes - they're effective,
but they take a huge push.
80
00:05:51,514 --> 00:05:56,054
The pedal requires much, much
more effort than any rival car.
81
00:05:56,154 --> 00:05:58,014
Maserati's done this
deliberately to give it
82
00:05:58,114 --> 00:06:00,124
a kind of race-car feel.
83
00:06:01,235 --> 00:06:03,975
But the steering is so light
there's a bit of a mismatch
84
00:06:04,075 --> 00:06:05,575
between the input required
for the brake
85
00:06:05,675 --> 00:06:08,175
and the little delicate
steering inputs required
86
00:06:08,275 --> 00:06:09,535
for the light steering.
87
00:06:09,635 --> 00:06:12,255
I think the biggest problem
is the size of the fuel tank -
88
00:06:12,355 --> 00:06:14,135
60 litres.
89
00:06:14,235 --> 00:06:16,435
And this V6 likes a drink.
90
00:06:17,915 --> 00:06:19,295
And then there's the question
91
00:06:19,395 --> 00:06:22,875
of where on earth you're
actually going to put anything.
92
00:06:24,156 --> 00:06:26,496
Now, normally,
when your engine's in the rear,
93
00:06:26,596 --> 00:06:28,716
you have lots of luggage space
up front.
94
00:06:31,356 --> 00:06:32,376
Ah.
95
00:06:32,476 --> 00:06:35,336
About enough room
for a pair of undercrackers
96
00:06:35,436 --> 00:06:36,736
and maybe a sock.
97
00:06:36,836 --> 00:06:39,456
However, there is more
boot space back here.
98
00:06:39,556 --> 00:06:42,336
The trouble is,
it's right next to the engine,
99
00:06:42,436 --> 00:06:45,096
which means it gets quite hot -
bad news
100
00:06:45,197 --> 00:06:47,337
if you're transporting
ice cream,
101
00:06:47,437 --> 00:06:48,577
very good news
102
00:06:48,677 --> 00:06:52,557
if you're a high-speed
pizza delivery service.
103
00:06:54,397 --> 00:06:56,397
Argh, that's hot!
104
00:06:57,677 --> 00:06:59,537
But look,
105
00:06:59,637 --> 00:07:04,057
it wouldn't be a Maserati
without a few...foibles.
106
00:07:04,157 --> 00:07:07,297
And in truth, it's just good
to have that badge
107
00:07:07,398 --> 00:07:10,338
back in the supercar game.
108
00:07:10,438 --> 00:07:15,218
Would I have this MC20
over a McLaren or a Ferrari?
109
00:07:15,318 --> 00:07:17,818
You know what? I think I would.
110
00:07:17,918 --> 00:07:19,498
I love the simplicity.
111
00:07:19,598 --> 00:07:21,378
It's not trying
to be a clever hybrid.
112
00:07:21,478 --> 00:07:22,658
I love the way it looks.
113
00:07:22,758 --> 00:07:24,258
I love the way it drives.
114
00:07:24,358 --> 00:07:27,258
It's unlike anything else
on sale.
115
00:07:27,358 --> 00:07:29,818
Will it provide a prosperous
116
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:32,979
and stable financial future
for Maserati?
117
00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:34,779
Probably not.
118
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:37,599
But I'm so glad it exists
anyway.
119
00:07:39,679 --> 00:07:41,539
Whoo-hoo-hooo!
120
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:43,639
Ha!
121
00:07:44,599 --> 00:07:47,839
(LAUGHS) Dip a wheel in the
dirt! Dip a wheel in the dirt!
122
00:07:50,599 --> 00:07:54,199
I'll tell you what,
it's a really great car!
123
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,860
Welcome back, Maserati.
124
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,200
We have missed you!
125
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,000
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
126
00:08:14,481 --> 00:08:15,421
Beautiful.
127
00:08:15,521 --> 00:08:17,501
Look at that.
128
00:08:17,601 --> 00:08:19,741
I love it. Last week Lotus,
129
00:08:19,841 --> 00:08:21,621
this week Maserati -
130
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,140
those legendary names
coming back out the woodwork
131
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,940
and absolutely smashing it.
132
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,980
You wouldn't put your money
on it. This is Maserati,
133
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,700
and its track record
isn't great. When they say,
134
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,820
"We're gonna make
a carbon-fibre supercar
135
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,780
"from scratch,
including the engine,"
136
00:08:34,881 --> 00:08:36,741
the correct answer is,
"Course you are, lads."
137
00:08:36,842 --> 00:08:37,782
(LAUGHTER)
138
00:08:37,882 --> 00:08:40,462
But actually, they've gone
and done it. And it's good.
139
00:08:40,561 --> 00:08:41,941
And I believe
there's an electric version
140
00:08:42,041 --> 00:08:42,981
in the pipeline.
141
00:08:43,082 --> 00:08:44,742
- Is there, Pad?
- Yeah, they're saying
142
00:08:44,842 --> 00:08:46,382
there's a convertible
and an electric version
143
00:08:46,482 --> 00:08:47,742
in a couple of years.
144
00:08:47,842 --> 00:08:50,102
However, this is Maserati.
A couple of years could mean
145
00:08:50,202 --> 00:08:51,662
four or five
financial implosions,
146
00:08:51,762 --> 00:08:54,822
so we won't hold our breath!
But this is still a great car.
147
00:08:54,921 --> 00:08:58,861
Well, now it's time to find out
just how fast the MC20 is
148
00:08:58,963 --> 00:09:03,163
by putting it round our track
in the hands of...The Stig.
149
00:09:05,043 --> 00:09:07,663
CHRIS: Here we go. The MC20,
looking menacing in black,
150
00:09:07,762 --> 00:09:10,282
our test track looking
almost entirely under water.
151
00:09:13,642 --> 00:09:16,282
The car stepping out of line at
100mph there on the straight.
152
00:09:24,044 --> 00:09:26,644
Look at the standing water.
153
00:09:27,723 --> 00:09:29,703
The MC20's carbon-fibre tub
154
00:09:29,804 --> 00:09:32,104
made by the legendary
Italian race outfit Dallara.
155
00:09:32,204 --> 00:09:34,444
This car is built
of the good stuff.
156
00:09:37,603 --> 00:09:39,103
Stig working his way through
that eight-speed
157
00:09:39,204 --> 00:09:40,904
double-clutch gearbox.
158
00:09:41,003 --> 00:09:44,483
(ENGINE HUMS)
159
00:09:45,844 --> 00:09:48,694
That V6,
not the most exciting sounding.
160
00:09:51,604 --> 00:09:54,654
Into the Follow Through.
This could be interesting.
161
00:09:57,685 --> 00:09:59,955
Stig getting his money out
of that steering wheel today.
162
00:10:11,445 --> 00:10:13,445
Holding it together there.
163
00:10:14,445 --> 00:10:16,305
And across the line.
164
00:10:16,406 --> 00:10:18,966
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
165
00:10:20,045 --> 00:10:22,045
PADDY: All right.
166
00:10:24,406 --> 00:10:28,226
Straight away, off the bat,
it was a very, very wet lap -
167
00:10:28,325 --> 00:10:29,505
tipping it down.
168
00:10:29,607 --> 00:10:30,867
- So...
- Yeah?
169
00:10:30,967 --> 00:10:33,067
The time was rock bottom.
170
00:10:33,166 --> 00:10:35,026
1:30.4.
171
00:10:35,127 --> 00:10:37,067
CHRIS: Ah. And not a good tyre
172
00:10:37,166 --> 00:10:38,266
- in the wet either.
- No, no.
173
00:10:38,367 --> 00:10:39,867
So, when it dried out,
174
00:10:39,967 --> 00:10:41,907
and just after
the cameras had left...
175
00:10:42,007 --> 00:10:43,067
Oh.
176
00:10:43,166 --> 00:10:44,906
...we sent The Stig out again.
177
00:10:45,007 --> 00:10:47,347
On a dry lap,
what do you reckon?
178
00:10:47,447 --> 00:10:51,067
So, 1:30.4 on a wet lap.

180
00:10:52,767 --> 00:10:54,387
- 17?.

181
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:55,907
- So we're down here.
- Yeah.
182
00:10:56,007 --> 00:10:56,947
Ooh.

00:11:01,407 --> 00:11:03,547
- About there. About...
- Where are you thinking?
187
00:11:03,647 --> 00:11:04,947
A bit slower than the GTS AMG.
188
00:11:05,048 --> 00:11:06,748
Behind the Bugatti?
189
00:11:06,848 --> 00:11:08,908
- Not a million miles away.
- CHRIS: Yeah?
190
00:11:09,007 --> 00:11:10,347
1:16.6.

192
00:11:11,767 --> 00:11:14,907
It's faster than a Veyron SS!

- Faster than a Veyron SS.

Look at that.
195
00:11:19,488 --> 00:11:21,468
Unbelievable.
196
00:11:21,569 --> 00:11:24,869
And now it's time to move on
and talk about money saving.
197
00:11:24,968 --> 00:11:27,028
Correct,
because we've all noticed
198
00:11:27,128 --> 00:11:30,068
everything's getting very
expensive right now in the UK,
199
00:11:30,169 --> 00:11:31,669
including cars.
200
00:11:31,769 --> 00:11:34,469
In the last year, the average
price of a second-hand car
201
00:11:34,569 --> 00:11:37,189
- has gone up by five grand.
- PADDY: Wow.
202
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:39,430
But are there still
cheap, cheerful, reliable
203
00:11:39,530 --> 00:11:41,350
used-car bargains to be had?
204
00:11:41,449 --> 00:11:43,449
We decided to find out.
205
00:11:52,530 --> 00:11:54,950
PADDY: To see if you can still
pick up a dependable runabout
206
00:11:55,050 --> 00:11:57,190
for not a lot of cash,
207
00:11:57,290 --> 00:11:58,750
the producers had rounded up
208
00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:01,331
a load of used cars
for us to have a look at...
209
00:12:02,371 --> 00:12:05,031

than 500 quid,

Looking round already...

00:12:19,491 --> 00:12:22,511
- How are they this cheap?
- Bargains!

can they?

young Paddy would have bought,

going sideways.
347

Nothing for me there.
348
00:17:56,265 --> 00:17:59,525
What sold it in the end
was the seat.
349
00:17:59,627 --> 00:18:03,847
As soon as I sat in it,
it was so comfy.
350
00:18:03,947 --> 00:18:06,187
I'm just worried
I've gone boring.

- Whoa! Thanks, Chris.
352
00:18:10,427 --> 00:18:12,087
Lads, I've got to tell yer,
353
00:18:12,187 --> 00:18:15,887
this Mini is driving
like an absolute dream!
354
00:18:15,986 --> 00:18:18,966
That Mini looks far too good
for the money.
355
00:18:19,067 --> 00:18:22,127
But I've got car envy
for the Volvo as well.
356
00:18:22,228 --> 00:18:23,568
I know how good
those Volvos are.
357
00:18:23,668 --> 00:18:27,208
It's the comfiest car seat
I've ever sat in!
358
00:18:27,308 --> 00:18:32,568
CHRIS: There is an untold joy
in this type of car.
359
00:18:32,668 --> 00:18:34,288
I just love the fact
that you feel like
360
00:18:34,388 --> 00:18:36,768
you're beating the system.
You get in it and you think,
361
00:18:36,868 --> 00:18:39,228
"Why would you want to spend
any more money?"
362
00:18:41,227 --> 00:18:44,147
PADDY: Well, it was time
to find out.
363
00:18:45,188 --> 00:18:47,288
Because to see if
our bargain-basement cars
364
00:18:47,389 --> 00:18:50,409
were something you should
actually consider living with,
365
00:18:50,509 --> 00:18:53,889
the producers had decided
we should drive them through
366
00:18:53,989 --> 00:18:55,689
a tank test track.
367
00:18:55,789 --> 00:18:56,849
SOLDIER: Stop!
368
00:18:56,948 --> 00:18:58,208
Back!
369
00:18:58,309 --> 00:18:59,889
Yes, allegedly simulating
370
00:18:59,989 --> 00:19:03,369
a full year's wear and tear
on 'em,
371
00:19:03,469 --> 00:19:04,809
first would be a strength test,
372
00:19:04,909 --> 00:19:07,049
where we'd have to drag
a tractor tyre
373
00:19:07,149 --> 00:19:10,769
up and over a very steep hill.
374
00:19:10,870 --> 00:19:13,250
Then, suspension wear -
375
00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:16,590
bouncing across
a series of very bumpy dips...
376
00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:22,150

the water splash...

through three feet
of murky water.
379
00:19:30,511 --> 00:19:33,531
Now, the tank overcame
the three obstacles

in five minutes, 56 seconds.
381
00:19:35,751 --> 00:19:38,531
Question was, working together,
382
00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:42,810
how fast could we get
all three cars through?
383
00:19:42,911 --> 00:19:47,611
Boys, remember,
never leave a man behind.
384

00:26:42,090 --> 00:26:44,090
I'm floating.
522
00:26:46,129 --> 00:26:47,749
I'm floating. I'm stuck.
523
00:26:47,850 --> 00:26:50,090
The engine's still going
but I'm stuck.
524
00:26:51,450 --> 00:26:53,750
I'm coming, Chris.
525
00:26:53,850 --> 00:26:55,850
Oh, my God.
526
00:26:56,731 --> 00:26:59,131
Go on. Come on, the Volvo!
527
00:27:02,731 --> 00:27:04,731
Don't hit me too hard!
528
00:27:07,531 --> 00:27:10,471
Yes, Fred. Yes, Fred!
529
00:27:10,571 --> 00:27:11,671
Yes, Fred.
530
00:27:11,771 --> 00:27:13,771
Keep on it.
531
00:27:15,610 --> 00:27:16,630
Yes, Fred!
532
00:27:16,731 --> 00:27:19,111
PADDY: Or, to put it
more accurately...
533
00:27:19,212 --> 00:27:21,312
(ENGINE FAILS)
534
00:27:21,412 --> 00:27:23,032
...no, Fred.
535
00:27:23,132 --> 00:27:24,912
FRED: Me car won't start.
536
00:27:25,012 --> 00:27:27,152
Me... Me exhaust is bubbling.
537
00:27:27,252 --> 00:27:29,632
- (ENGINE FAILS)
- PADDY: Oh, God.
538
00:27:29,732 --> 00:27:32,312
FRED ON RADIO: I'm stuck now.
539
00:27:32,412 --> 00:27:35,432
PADDY: Now, while Flintoff
was busy discovering
540
00:27:35,532 --> 00:27:37,192
just how deep he was stuck...
541
00:27:37,292 --> 00:27:38,992
- Oh, no!
- (WATER WHOOSHES)
542
00:27:39,091 --> 00:27:41,091
No!
543
00:27:42,013 --> 00:27:44,033
Oh, no!
544
00:27:44,133 --> 00:27:47,873
...we decided to give plan A
another good go...
545
00:27:47,973 --> 00:27:51,113
Handbrake off. Neutral.
Get it whacked out.
546
00:27:51,213 --> 00:27:53,433
- FRED: Go on, push.
- Speed, Chris! Speed!
547
00:27:53,533 --> 00:27:56,313
- No speed! No speed!
- Speed!
548
00:27:56,413 --> 00:27:58,953
PADDY: Yes. Go on, son!
549
00:27:59,052 --> 00:28:01,232
- ...and...
- Right!
550
00:28:01,332 --> 00:28:03,712
...once we'd concluded
that wasn't going to work...
551
00:28:03,813 --> 00:28:06,833
PADDY: Chris! Stop. Kill it!
552
00:28:06,934 --> 00:28:10,994
...it was time
to break out plan B.
553
00:28:11,094 --> 00:28:14,114
Right. Are you ready?
554
00:28:14,214 --> 00:28:15,474
I'm gonna drop it
onto t'bonnet.
555
00:28:15,573 --> 00:28:17,973
- One, two, three.
- FRED: All right.
556
00:28:19,214 --> 00:28:20,674
- There.
- You...
557
00:28:20,774 --> 00:28:22,074
You knob!
558
00:28:22,174 --> 00:28:24,954
When I grab hold...
Oi... Oi, look at me.
559
00:28:25,053 --> 00:28:27,443
When I grab hold of that,
do not pull it.
560
00:28:27,534 --> 00:28:29,034
- Have you got it?
- Yeah.
561
00:28:29,135 --> 00:28:30,505
Come...
562
00:28:30,615 --> 00:28:32,505
(BLEEP) You absolute...
563
00:28:32,615 --> 00:28:33,715
I've got a bad knee!
564
00:28:33,815 --> 00:28:35,635
- You absolute tit!
- I've got a bad knee!
565
00:28:35,735 --> 00:28:37,395
Do you know how cold this is?
566
00:28:37,495 --> 00:28:39,635
Has it escaped you
that we've actually got
567
00:28:39,735 --> 00:28:41,265
to get out of here in time?
Come on.
568
00:28:41,375 --> 00:28:42,785
Yeah, you've got a point.
569
00:28:42,895 --> 00:28:45,395
CHRIS: So,
once we'd successfully
570
00:28:45,495 --> 00:28:48,075
teamworked the tow rope
onto the Volvo...
571
00:28:48,176 --> 00:28:50,516
I can't feel me feet.
572
00:28:50,616 --> 00:28:53,776
...it was just a simple case
of hauling it out.
573
00:28:55,136 --> 00:28:56,836
PADDY: Go on, Chrissy.
574
00:28:56,936 --> 00:28:58,936
CHRIS: Come on, the Merc!
575
00:28:59,776 --> 00:29:00,636
She's out!
576
00:29:00,735 --> 00:29:02,075
Argh!
577
00:29:02,176 --> 00:29:04,156
You big (BLEEP)!
578
00:29:04,255 --> 00:29:07,915
And, having successfully
demonstrated precisely
579
00:29:08,015 --> 00:29:10,115
why it was called plan B...
580
00:29:10,216 --> 00:29:13,916
You just fired a load of
bricks at me shins, you dick!
581
00:29:14,017 --> 00:29:15,517
Let's get to the finish.
582
00:29:15,617 --> 00:29:18,157
...just 100 metres short
of the chequered flag...
583
00:29:18,257 --> 00:29:20,797
- (WHIRRING CLUNK)
- Oh, God, it's gone.
584
00:29:20,897 --> 00:29:26,157
...our used-car bargains
decided enough was enough.
585
00:29:26,257 --> 00:29:27,997
Oh, God, no.
586
00:29:28,097 --> 00:29:30,097
Oh, no, no. No, no, no.
587
00:29:33,018 --> 00:29:34,358
Yeah, this is gone.
588
00:29:34,457 --> 00:29:36,457
The Merc is dead.
589
00:29:41,138 --> 00:29:43,418
Oh, here comes Tank Man!
590
00:29:45,618 --> 00:29:47,598
- PADDY: He looks smug.
- CHRIS: Thank you.
591
00:29:47,697 --> 00:29:49,697
FRED: Oh, it's the results.
592
00:29:50,217 --> 00:29:52,237
"The tank completed the course
593
00:29:52,338 --> 00:29:54,518
in five minutes
and 56 seconds."
594
00:29:54,618 --> 00:29:55,718
PADDY: Oh.
595
00:29:55,819 --> 00:29:57,679
"You did not complete
the course
596
00:29:57,779 --> 00:30:01,959
"in 21 minutes and 23 seconds."
597
00:30:02,059 --> 00:30:05,539
PADDY: Well, no surprise
on the result there, really.
598
00:30:10,579 --> 00:30:12,119
FRED: Where are you going?
Where are we going?
599
00:30:12,219 --> 00:30:15,619
PADDY: I'll tell you where
we're going - find another car.
600
00:30:17,178 --> 00:30:19,178
FRED: I wanna dry me feet.
601
00:30:21,180 --> 00:30:22,600
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
602
00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:24,700
PADDY: Ah!
603
00:30:26,139 --> 00:30:30,199
Not a good start, is it? Three
cars driven, three cars killed.
604
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:33,560
Was that Mini dead, Pad?
Or was you being melodramatic?
605
00:30:33,659 --> 00:30:35,759
A couple of dents. It still
looked very drivable to me.
606
00:30:35,860 --> 00:30:38,160
I thought so as well. But it
turns out - common issue
607
00:30:38,260 --> 00:30:39,880
with that generation
of Mini -
608
00:30:39,980 --> 00:30:42,000
is when you drive over
a submerged telegraph pole
609
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:44,080
on an Army barracks, it rips
the radiator clean out.
610
00:30:44,181 --> 00:30:45,441
- I've heard that.
- Very common.
611
00:30:45,541 --> 00:30:47,161
- I've heard that.
- Very common.
612
00:30:47,261 --> 00:30:48,921
Anyway, we'll get back
to that film later.
613
00:30:49,021 --> 00:30:51,201
Now we must move on to EVs.
614
00:30:51,301 --> 00:30:53,321
We know everything
is going electric nowadays,
615
00:30:53,421 --> 00:30:55,161
and for some types of car,
though,
616
00:30:55,261 --> 00:30:57,081
it's not that much of
a leap from petrol, really.
617
00:30:57,181 --> 00:30:59,201
Exactly. Little city runabouts
going electric,
618
00:30:59,301 --> 00:31:00,641
it's hardly a big deal.
619
00:31:00,741 --> 00:31:02,521
But some other corners
of the car world
620
00:31:02,620 --> 00:31:04,620
might be a tougher nut
to crack.
621
00:31:13,542 --> 00:31:15,902
FRED: The good old-fashioned
pick-up truck...
622
00:31:17,581 --> 00:31:22,801
...which, here in America,
is big business.
623
00:31:22,902 --> 00:31:26,762
Literally millions of these
are sold over here every year.
624
00:31:26,863 --> 00:31:29,523
And they're not just bought
by farmers and lumberjacks,
625
00:31:29,623 --> 00:31:31,723
they're bought by everyone.
626
00:31:31,822 --> 00:31:35,122
So far, they've been
very much not electric,
627
00:31:35,223 --> 00:31:36,723
very petrol.
628
00:31:36,822 --> 00:31:40,042
But all that could
be about to change,
629
00:31:40,143 --> 00:31:42,223
thanks to that lad.
630
00:31:45,863 --> 00:31:48,803
It's called the R1T.
631
00:31:48,904 --> 00:31:54,184
And it comes from an American
start-up called Rivian.
632
00:31:55,664 --> 00:31:59,484
Yes, the race to launch the
world's first electric pick-up
633
00:31:59,584 --> 00:32:03,224
has been won not by Ford
or even Tesla...
634
00:32:04,904 --> 00:32:08,584
...but by a company
you've never heard of.
635
00:32:10,024 --> 00:32:13,784
And they're doing things
a little bit different.
636
00:32:19,425 --> 00:32:20,725
Your traditional pick-up truck,
637
00:32:20,825 --> 00:32:24,515
well, they're generally
a bit rough and ready inside.
638
00:32:24,625 --> 00:32:27,965
Not this one.
This is business class.
639
00:32:28,065 --> 00:32:33,205
It's all big screens, recycled,
sustainable materials.
640
00:32:33,306 --> 00:32:35,306
And because it's electric...
641
00:32:36,745 --> 00:32:39,605
...it's quiet,
it's effortless to drive.
642
00:32:39,706 --> 00:32:41,706
It's classy.
643
00:32:42,706 --> 00:32:44,706
This is a good start.
644
00:32:46,906 --> 00:32:49,106
But then it needs to be...
645
00:32:50,386 --> 00:32:52,046
...because the world's
expecting big things
646
00:32:52,146 --> 00:32:54,146
from this truck.
647
00:32:55,107 --> 00:32:59,807
Last year, after Rivian had
built just a handful of cars,
648
00:32:59,907 --> 00:33:02,027
the company offered up
a load of shares for sale.
649
00:33:03,067 --> 00:33:07,767
They were so popular that
within just a couple of days
650
00:33:07,867 --> 00:33:09,867
Rivian was worth...
651
00:33:10,827 --> 00:33:15,187
...$127 billion.
652
00:33:16,867 --> 00:33:18,867
Billion.
653
00:33:19,467 --> 00:33:22,007
Which meant
that this tiny start-up,
654
00:33:22,108 --> 00:33:26,008
that had never made
a penny in profit, was suddenly
655
00:33:26,108 --> 00:33:28,508
more valuable than Kuwait.
656
00:33:29,868 --> 00:33:32,368
What that says about the world
of stocks and shares
657
00:33:32,467 --> 00:33:34,087
I have no idea,
658
00:33:34,187 --> 00:33:36,967
but what it does mean
is that a lot of people
659
00:33:37,068 --> 00:33:40,588
have got a lot riding
on this being good.
660
00:33:42,149 --> 00:33:43,689
And let's face it,
661
00:33:43,789 --> 00:33:46,789
you don't buy a pick-up just
to potter along the highways.
662
00:33:47,989 --> 00:33:52,949
The Rivian needs to cut it
in the great outdoors.
663
00:33:58,389 --> 00:33:59,329
And weirdly,
664
00:33:59,428 --> 00:34:02,228
that's where electric
makes a whole lot of sense...
665
00:34:03,710 --> 00:34:06,290
...because regular pick-ups
have the engine at the front,
666
00:34:06,389 --> 00:34:08,489
sending power
to the four wheels,
667
00:34:08,590 --> 00:34:11,930
with a lot of complicated
drive shafts and differentials.
668
00:34:12,029 --> 00:34:16,229
But the Rivian has an
individual motor on each wheel.
669
00:34:18,470 --> 00:34:22,230
And that means...
it can do this.
670
00:34:23,830 --> 00:34:25,830
Yes!
671
00:34:26,430 --> 00:34:29,170
Oh, it sends just
the right amount of power
672
00:34:29,270 --> 00:34:31,410
to whichever corner
673
00:34:31,510 --> 00:34:33,850
needs it most,
so that means plenty of grip,
674
00:34:33,951 --> 00:34:37,071
plenty of torque,
but plenty of fun!
675
00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:39,970
Whoa-oh!
676
00:34:40,071 --> 00:34:42,291
Get up. There we go!
677
00:34:42,390 --> 00:34:44,290
Up the hill.
678
00:34:44,390 --> 00:34:46,390
It just eats anything up.
679
00:34:50,312 --> 00:34:53,432
Oh, yes. Look at you go!
680
00:34:55,032 --> 00:34:58,032
Now I'm on the straight
and I'm just gonna go.
681
00:34:59,551 --> 00:35:00,891
Oh, my word.
682
00:35:00,992 --> 00:35:03,592
55, 60.
683
00:35:04,952 --> 00:35:08,092
75. I'm off-road.
684
00:35:08,192 --> 00:35:11,192
This thing, I'm telling you,
is a weapon.
685
00:35:13,313 --> 00:35:17,133
And that's before
you find drift mode,
686
00:35:17,233 --> 00:35:19,373
which shuts down
the stability control,
687
00:35:19,473 --> 00:35:21,533
stiffens up the suspension,
688
00:35:21,633 --> 00:35:25,073
and sends a whole heap
of torque to the back.
689
00:35:27,273 --> 00:35:30,033
(LAUGHS) Come on.
Here we go.
690
00:35:33,274 --> 00:35:37,074
Oh, yeah, go on, lad! (LAUGHS)
691
00:35:42,113 --> 00:35:44,113
(LAUGHS)
692
00:35:47,674 --> 00:35:49,674
This is immense.
693
00:35:59,354 --> 00:36:01,024
What a car!
694
00:36:01,115 --> 00:36:05,455
So the Rivian will definitely
get you off the beaten track.
695
00:36:05,555 --> 00:36:07,555
(LAUGHS)
696
00:36:08,154 --> 00:36:09,654
...and a 300-mile range
697
00:36:09,755 --> 00:36:13,075
should be enough
to get you back on it...
698
00:36:14,675 --> 00:36:16,415
...but just like any EV,
699
00:36:16,515 --> 00:36:20,715
that half-decent range
does come at a cost.
700
00:36:22,316 --> 00:36:27,416
Because to get a 300-mile range
in a truck this size,
701
00:36:27,515 --> 00:36:29,455
you're gonna need
a big battery.
702
00:36:29,555 --> 00:36:31,675
A really big battery.
703
00:36:32,996 --> 00:36:39,656
And that means this R1T
weighs three tonnes.
704
00:36:39,756 --> 00:36:41,816
That's pretty much
three Ford Fiestas.
705
00:36:41,917 --> 00:36:45,857
If this new electric-car era
is all about efficiency
706
00:36:45,957 --> 00:36:48,097
and treading a little lighter,
707
00:36:48,197 --> 00:36:51,397
I'm not sure a three-tonne
truck is the way forward.
708
00:36:53,317 --> 00:36:55,177
But if Rivian's
going to succeed,
709
00:36:55,277 --> 00:36:58,897
to be honest, it's not me
that needs convincing,
710
00:36:58,997 --> 00:37:00,817
it's these guys -
711
00:37:00,917 --> 00:37:04,037
traditional pick-up
petrolheads.
712
00:37:07,758 --> 00:37:09,258
Now, this is gonna be
a big test,
713
00:37:09,358 --> 00:37:11,398
getting the opinion
of the locals.
714
00:37:13,118 --> 00:37:15,838
Oh, oh, they're having a look
already.
715
00:37:17,798 --> 00:37:20,098
Afternoon, gentlemen.
What are we thinking?
716
00:37:20,198 --> 00:37:21,698
- What is it?
- What is it?
717
00:37:21,798 --> 00:37:25,058
It's a Rivian.
All-electric pick-up truck.
718
00:37:25,158 --> 00:37:26,098
No way!
719
00:37:26,198 --> 00:37:27,658
What do you reckon?
Come and have a look.
720
00:37:27,759 --> 00:37:29,819
Got their attention.
Here we go.
721
00:37:29,919 --> 00:37:31,339
300-mile range.
722
00:37:31,439 --> 00:37:32,779
Here's the cockpit.
723
00:37:32,879 --> 00:37:34,899
Nice little one to start with,
lads.
724
00:37:34,999 --> 00:37:36,459
Just push that there.
725
00:37:36,559 --> 00:37:38,059
Just push that.
Go on, push that.
726
00:37:38,158 --> 00:37:41,398
A nice little handy torch
for them outdoor evenings.
727
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,819
Here you go, lads.
Watch this, watch this.
728
00:37:44,919 --> 00:37:46,919
Storage in there.
729
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:48,900
Hello.
730
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,860
Hey? Hello!
731
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,420
Look at this here.
732
00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:54,019
Air compressor.
733
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,660
Blow your tyres up there?
734
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,860
Blow your tyres up.
Air compressor.
735
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,140
- Hey? Look at you.
- Ha.
736
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:02,740
Underneath the console...
Pulls out.
737
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,840
(MUSIC PLAYS)
738
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,660
Now, you wouldn't have thought
the Rivian's portable
739
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,460
Bluetooth speaker would be
the thing to swing it...
740
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:11,660
60 grand, basic.
741
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,740
- 77, this one.
- It's amazing.
742
00:38:13,841 --> 00:38:16,661
...but this crowd were
definitely coming round.
743
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:17,780
MAN: Very, actually.
744
00:38:17,881 --> 00:38:19,421
Look at the headroom
here. Look at this!
745
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,860
- Holy crap.
- You've got like a foot.
746
00:38:20,961 --> 00:38:22,221
This is a nice interior.
747
00:38:22,321 --> 00:38:25,021
- FRED: There we go.
- Oh! Holy cow.
748
00:38:25,121 --> 00:38:26,581
- Wow.
- Check that out!
749
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:27,980
- Is this a cool box?
- That is cool.
750
00:38:28,081 --> 00:38:30,141
Fill this with ice,
put your beers in.
751
00:38:30,241 --> 00:38:32,261
There's your plug -
drain it through.
752
00:38:32,362 --> 00:38:33,742
MAN: Now you're ready to party.
753
00:38:33,841 --> 00:38:36,261
- Huh?
- Yeah. OK.
754
00:38:36,362 --> 00:38:37,662
- (ENGINE REVS)
- Oh!
755
00:38:37,761 --> 00:38:41,381
Right, thanks for that, lads.
I've got to go.
756
00:38:41,482 --> 00:38:42,822
I think I've just been
challenged.
757
00:38:42,921 --> 00:38:44,921
- Uh-oh.
- Here we go.
758
00:38:46,482 --> 00:38:47,462
Oh, yes,
759
00:38:47,562 --> 00:38:50,142
when you take Rivian's pick-up
to the drag strip,
760
00:38:50,242 --> 00:38:54,442
you don't have to leave it
in the car park.
761
00:38:55,763 --> 00:38:58,183
That is a Dodge Viper,
762
00:38:58,283 --> 00:39:01,103
one of the fastest,
most powerful
763
00:39:01,202 --> 00:39:03,522
American sports cars ever made.
764
00:39:04,563 --> 00:39:07,463
Its 8.4-litre V10
765
00:39:07,563 --> 00:39:09,463
makes over 600 horsepower...
766
00:39:09,563 --> 00:39:11,063
(ENGINE REVS)
767
00:39:11,162 --> 00:39:15,422
...in a car that's less than
half the weight of the Rivian.
768
00:39:15,523 --> 00:39:18,143
But what I've failed
to mention so far is...
769
00:39:18,243 --> 00:39:23,303
...is that I've got
835 horsepower.
770
00:39:23,403 --> 00:39:24,543
(ENGINES REV)
771
00:39:24,644 --> 00:39:26,264
So I'm keen to race that.
772
00:39:26,363 --> 00:39:28,143
Right, here we go.
773
00:39:28,243 --> 00:39:30,103
Stick it into sport.
774
00:39:30,203 --> 00:39:32,203
Reduce the ride height.
775
00:39:36,323 --> 00:39:38,443
Let's catch me a Viper.
776
00:39:39,484 --> 00:39:41,484
(ENGINES REV)
777
00:39:42,604 --> 00:39:45,194
Ooh, I'm tense, I'm tense.
778
00:39:45,285 --> 00:39:47,475
(STARTING BEEPS)
779
00:39:58,125 --> 00:40:00,505
Oh, I'm off in the Rivian!
780
00:40:00,604 --> 00:40:03,494
Come on! 0-60, three seconds!
781
00:40:04,486 --> 00:40:08,026
Why am I shouting? It's so
quiet. Where's the Viper?
782
00:40:08,126 --> 00:40:10,526
He's coming up.
He's catching, he's catching.
783
00:40:11,486 --> 00:40:13,426
Come on, the Rivian.
Come on, the Rivian.
784
00:40:13,526 --> 00:40:16,386
Go, go, go, go!
785
00:40:16,486 --> 00:40:18,486
Come on!
786
00:40:20,126 --> 00:40:23,486
And the win!
That is something else!
787
00:40:24,846 --> 00:40:26,846
Wow!
788
00:40:28,167 --> 00:40:31,327
Get me a form.
Sign me up. I am sold!
789
00:40:36,086 --> 00:40:38,906
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
790
00:40:39,006 --> 00:40:41,986
CHRIS: It's very slidey.
Very slidey.
791
00:40:42,086 --> 00:40:44,666
What a machine!
But, Fred, I thought
792
00:40:44,767 --> 00:40:46,667
you weren't sold
on the old electric cars?
793
00:40:46,768 --> 00:40:49,908
Honestly, I wasn't.
Every time I've driven an EV,
794
00:40:50,008 --> 00:40:51,508
I found them a bit clinical.
795
00:40:51,608 --> 00:40:53,068
And the Rivian - all right,
796
00:40:53,167 --> 00:40:55,107
the peace and quiet
I found a bit weird...
797
00:40:55,207 --> 00:40:57,307
- Yeah?
- But it worked amazing.
798
00:40:57,408 --> 00:40:59,268
I think I'm on the turn.
799
00:40:59,368 --> 00:41:00,628
I thought I could smell summat!
800
00:41:00,728 --> 00:41:03,948
I tell you what, though,
the Rivian, I want one.
801
00:41:04,048 --> 00:41:05,948
Problem is, Pad,
not coming to the UK.
802
00:41:06,048 --> 00:41:08,428
If you want one, you're gonna
have to move to America.
803
00:41:08,528 --> 00:41:10,308
- Oh.
- I'll buy you a ticket.
804
00:41:10,408 --> 00:41:11,388
(LAUGHS) I'll pack your bags.
805
00:41:11,488 --> 00:41:12,868
PADDY: No need for that,
is there?
806
00:41:12,969 --> 00:41:14,869
Now, this might surprise you,
but I've got a slight issue.
807
00:41:14,969 --> 00:41:16,749
- Oh, here we go!
- There's a bunch
808
00:41:16,849 --> 00:41:18,669
of these American trucks
coming, and if Americans
809
00:41:18,769 --> 00:41:20,269
want to cut their consumption,
that's one answer.
810
00:41:20,368 --> 00:41:22,748
The other answer is just
to buy something smaller!
811
00:41:22,849 --> 00:41:24,749
Why does it all have
to be so big and heavy?
812
00:41:24,849 --> 00:41:27,509
You do know that this show
is on in America?
813
00:41:27,609 --> 00:41:29,069
- (LAUGHTER)
- Fair point.
814
00:41:29,169 --> 00:41:31,149
You've literally just insulted
an entire nation there.
815
00:41:31,250 --> 00:41:32,590
Sorry.
816
00:41:32,689 --> 00:41:34,029
Anyway, now it's time
817
00:41:34,130 --> 00:41:36,570
to get back
to our cheap-car adventure.
818
00:41:40,090 --> 00:41:41,430
PADDY: Right...
819
00:41:41,529 --> 00:41:43,949
This looks like it might be
quite good.
820
00:41:44,050 --> 00:41:46,470
...with our choice
of used-car options
821
00:41:46,569 --> 00:41:48,829
becoming
increasingly limited...
822
00:41:48,930 --> 00:41:50,390
Absolute dog!
823
00:41:50,490 --> 00:41:53,910
...for another crack at proving
sturdy and reliable bargains
824
00:41:54,010 --> 00:41:55,110
do exist,
825
00:41:55,211 --> 00:41:57,111
we'd each picked another steed
826
00:41:57,211 --> 00:41:59,211
and hit the road.
827
00:42:07,611 --> 00:42:09,431
I have lucked out big time
here.
828
00:42:09,531 --> 00:42:12,471
Honda Civic. Reliability.
829
00:42:12,571 --> 00:42:15,071
They're absolutely bulletproof,
these things.
830
00:42:15,171 --> 00:42:19,511
1.6-litre five-speed manual.
831
00:42:19,612 --> 00:42:21,632
Yes, it might have only had
four days left on its MOT,
832
00:42:21,732 --> 00:42:25,592
but what a four days
they could be!
833
00:42:25,692 --> 00:42:28,832
Bodywork's OK.
Engine sounds great.
834
00:42:28,932 --> 00:42:32,232
It runs like an absolute dream.
835
00:42:32,332 --> 00:42:34,332
God rest me Mini's soul...
836
00:42:35,011 --> 00:42:37,011
...I think I might prefer
this one.
837
00:42:39,013 --> 00:42:41,913
Lads, I'm...I'm gonna
miss the Mini,
838
00:42:42,013 --> 00:42:44,353
but can you believe
the three of us are now
839
00:42:44,452 --> 00:42:46,692
in little Japanese runarounds?
840
00:42:48,813 --> 00:42:52,213
I have secretly always wanted
a Mazda 323.
841
00:42:53,332 --> 00:42:56,472
Mazda, as a company
in the '90s, made such
842
00:42:56,573 --> 00:42:57,633
beautifully engineered cars -
843
00:42:57,733 --> 00:42:58,993
everyone thought
they were like a Ford,
844
00:42:59,093 --> 00:43:00,393
but they were miles better.
845
00:43:00,493 --> 00:43:05,113
And with a peppy 1.8-litre
four-cylinder engine,
846
00:43:05,214 --> 00:43:08,954
mated to a silky-smooth
four-speed auto box,
847
00:43:09,054 --> 00:43:12,654
250 quid feels like
an absolute steal.
848
00:43:13,693 --> 00:43:14,953
The steering's lovely as well.
849
00:43:15,054 --> 00:43:17,654
You know, this is a nicer car
to drive than that Mercedes.
850
00:43:19,254 --> 00:43:22,474
FRED: I am gutted
for the Volvo.
851
00:43:22,573 --> 00:43:23,723
The good news is,
852
00:43:23,814 --> 00:43:25,814
it gives me a chance to drive
the Celica.
853
00:43:28,854 --> 00:43:29,844
When I was a kid,
854
00:43:29,935 --> 00:43:32,715
the Celica round our way
was a bit of a legend.
855
00:43:32,814 --> 00:43:36,484
You saw one of them,
oh, it was aspirational.
856
00:43:36,575 --> 00:43:38,225
And you can see why.
857
00:43:38,335 --> 00:43:40,035
1.8 litre.
858
00:43:40,135 --> 00:43:44,305
Variable valve timing.
Six-speed manual.
859
00:43:44,415 --> 00:43:47,315
It's every inch
the sports car...
860
00:43:47,416 --> 00:43:50,856
...now...for just 450 quid.
861
00:43:52,656 --> 00:43:53,596
PADDY: Got to say, lads,
862
00:43:53,696 --> 00:43:55,956
apart from having to rev
this one to death,
863
00:43:56,055 --> 00:43:58,555
it's sweet as a nut.
864
00:43:58,656 --> 00:44:03,676
Looking around, though,
it's dirty. It is not nice.
865
00:44:03,776 --> 00:44:05,276
CHRIS: And a car of this age,
866
00:44:05,376 --> 00:44:07,996
you always worry about touching
the steering wheel, don't you?
867
00:44:08,095 --> 00:44:11,435
It always looks a bit... DNAey.
868
00:44:11,537 --> 00:44:13,557
Yeah, and a cloth seat
as well, Chris.
869
00:44:13,657 --> 00:44:15,677
At least with leather,
you can just wipe 'em down.
870
00:44:15,777 --> 00:44:17,357
You don't know
what's in this seat.
871
00:44:17,457 --> 00:44:18,357
(LAUGHS)
872
00:44:18,457 --> 00:44:20,717
CHRIS: We live in heady times,
though, boys.
873
00:44:20,817 --> 00:44:23,677
Everyone's cars
are going up in value.
874
00:44:23,777 --> 00:44:26,437
If you just buy a car now,
sit on it for six months,
875
00:44:26,537 --> 00:44:27,837
it will probably go up 10%
876
00:44:27,937 --> 00:44:30,957
because there's a shortage of
new cars coming through
877
00:44:31,058 --> 00:44:33,078
and it's pushed
the values of all used cars up.
878
00:44:33,178 --> 00:44:37,078
So if I sit on this for six
months, I might get 500 quid.
879
00:44:37,178 --> 00:44:40,438
If you sat on that for six
months, all you'd get is TB!
880
00:44:40,537 --> 00:44:42,537
(LAUGHS)
881
00:44:44,018 --> 00:44:46,198
CHRIS: Now, to see
whether our second pick
882
00:44:46,298 --> 00:44:48,638
of used-car bargains
could go the distance...
883
00:44:48,738 --> 00:44:50,738
Ooh, look at this.
884
00:44:51,098 --> 00:44:53,498
...the producers had
cooked up another test...
885
00:44:54,899 --> 00:44:56,319
Deary me.
886
00:44:56,419 --> 00:44:57,559
This is a fancy place.
887
00:44:57,658 --> 00:45:00,878
...which, in a slightly
worrying development
888
00:45:00,979 --> 00:45:04,979
for our cars, appeared to be
at a massive scrapyard.
889
00:45:06,259 --> 00:45:07,599
PADDY: Here we go.
890
00:45:07,698 --> 00:45:11,278
We've come to your happy place.
(LAUGHS)
891
00:45:11,379 --> 00:45:14,119
CHRIS: Have you ever seen
so many cars
892
00:45:14,219 --> 00:45:15,999
in one place like that?
893
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:17,480
- FRED: Look at this.
- CHRIS: Wow.
894
00:45:17,580 --> 00:45:19,480
Oh, I'm happy here, lads!
895
00:45:19,580 --> 00:45:21,080
Gonna have
a little mooch about?
896
00:45:21,180 --> 00:45:23,120
CHRIS: Oh, yes. Right,
looking for parts now, boys.
897
00:45:23,220 --> 00:45:25,880
If you find a V8 diesel Land
Cruiser, I need a dashboard.
898
00:45:25,979 --> 00:45:28,439
(LAUGHTER)
899
00:45:28,540 --> 00:45:31,000
PADDY: We might find one
an' all,
900
00:45:31,100 --> 00:45:34,280
because this wasn't just
any old scrapper..
901
00:45:34,380 --> 00:45:36,440
...this was one of the largest
902
00:45:36,540 --> 00:45:39,300
vehicle dismantling yards
in Europe.
903
00:45:40,581 --> 00:45:44,841
A 32-acre Aladdin's cave...
904
00:45:44,941 --> 00:45:46,921
...of knackered old motors.
905
00:45:47,020 --> 00:45:48,520
CHRIS: There's a Capri.
906
00:45:48,621 --> 00:45:50,441
- There's a Capri!
- FRED: Where? Where? Where?
907
00:45:50,541 --> 00:45:52,641
- (LAUGHTER)
- PADDY: What a treat!
908
00:45:52,741 --> 00:45:53,881
Look at that!
909
00:45:53,980 --> 00:45:56,200
- Which one is it?
- Two litre, isn't it?
910
00:45:56,301 --> 00:45:58,321
Did they sell them
on a D plate?
911
00:45:58,421 --> 00:46:00,241
That must be one
of the last Capris ever sold.
912
00:46:00,341 --> 00:46:02,041
Look at that there. That's...
That's nearly a minter.
913
00:46:02,142 --> 00:46:04,002
PADDY: Tell you what,
a new wing for the front...
914
00:46:04,102 --> 00:46:05,682
- FRED: Yeah.
- ...a bit of T-Cut,
915
00:46:05,782 --> 00:46:06,762
right as rain.
916
00:46:06,862 --> 00:46:08,862
CHRIS: Look at this.
917
00:46:09,502 --> 00:46:12,682
Ooh. "Rat in boot?"
918
00:46:12,782 --> 00:46:16,122
Is that like a new panto I've
missed out on? Rats In Boots!
919
00:46:16,221 --> 00:46:17,961
Can we see if the
aforementioned rats
920
00:46:18,062 --> 00:46:19,002
are living comfortably?
921
00:46:19,102 --> 00:46:20,562
PADDY: Where's the rats?
922
00:46:20,662 --> 00:46:21,962
Argh! You...
923
00:46:22,062 --> 00:46:24,062
(LAUGHTER)
924
00:46:25,383 --> 00:46:26,763
As good as it is
looking at smashed-up cars,
925
00:46:26,863 --> 00:46:28,863
what are we doing here?
926
00:46:30,023 --> 00:46:34,263
CHRIS: To find out, we'd have
to wait until nightfall.
927
00:46:37,223 --> 00:46:39,403
Because with the scrapyard
closed,
928
00:46:39,502 --> 00:46:42,082
the producers had been
hard at work
929
00:46:42,183 --> 00:46:44,323
turning it...
930
00:46:44,423 --> 00:46:46,823
...into a racetrack.
931
00:46:54,144 --> 00:46:55,884
PADDY: Got to say, I love
what they've done with it.
932
00:46:55,984 --> 00:46:57,204
It's like an '80s pop video.
933
00:46:57,304 --> 00:46:58,444
- Lovely, isn't it?
- Very nice.
934
00:46:58,544 --> 00:47:00,284
I love the lights
and everything else.
935
00:47:00,384 --> 00:47:01,484
- Oh.
- Here we go.
936
00:47:01,584 --> 00:47:03,484
- Thank you. Challenge.
- Yeah.
937
00:47:03,584 --> 00:47:06,904
"Welcome to the Top Gear
Death Race.
938
00:47:08,585 --> 00:47:10,965
"You and your cheap cars will
now race against The Stig."
939
00:47:11,064 --> 00:47:12,014
Hmm.
940
00:47:12,104 --> 00:47:13,694
Oh, no.
941
00:47:13,785 --> 00:47:15,085
"Losing cars
942
00:47:15,185 --> 00:47:17,325
will be crushed."
943
00:47:17,425 --> 00:47:18,845
- Oh, no, no.
- I'm attached to the Civic.
944
00:47:18,944 --> 00:47:21,014
No, I don't want
the Celica crushed.
945
00:47:21,104 --> 00:47:22,604
- Right.
- FRED: Who's up first?
946
00:47:22,705 --> 00:47:23,685
Him.
947
00:47:23,785 --> 00:47:26,595
Ho-ho. Go on, Chris,
save your car.
948
00:47:26,705 --> 00:47:29,595
PADDY:
Yes, in a final bid to see
949
00:47:29,705 --> 00:47:32,925
whether any of our used-car
picks were worth saving,
950
00:47:33,026 --> 00:47:35,026
we'd now be racing...
951
00:47:37,986 --> 00:47:39,986
...to the death.
952
00:47:49,866 --> 00:47:54,846
And apparently determined
to show where we'd gone wrong,
953
00:47:54,947 --> 00:47:57,887
Stig would be driving three
of the cars we'd rejected
954
00:47:57,987 --> 00:48:00,087
the day before.
955
00:48:00,187 --> 00:48:04,047
And now, starting on
opposite sides of the yard,
956
00:48:04,147 --> 00:48:06,967
we'd be given
a three-second head start,
957
00:48:07,067 --> 00:48:09,407
aiming to stay ahead
for two laps,
958
00:48:09,506 --> 00:48:12,986
with the last to cross the
finish line getting crushed.
959
00:48:14,386 --> 00:48:15,526
CHRIS: Oi, clown brothers.
960
00:48:15,627 --> 00:48:17,287
Oi, you two, listen to me.
961
00:48:17,388 --> 00:48:19,848
I've noticed that
the two big strapping lads,
962
00:48:19,948 --> 00:48:23,328
combined height 72 feet,
and all the muscle,
963
00:48:23,428 --> 00:48:25,568
you've pushed me
into battle first.
964
00:48:25,667 --> 00:48:28,167
Well, yeah,
you're the pro racing driver.
965
00:48:28,268 --> 00:48:31,048
We, even though we take
the mickey, we look up to you.
966
00:48:31,148 --> 00:48:33,288
Well, we look down...up
to you. You know what I mean.
967
00:48:33,388 --> 00:48:36,508
PADDY ON RADIO: So you've
got to set us an example.
968
00:48:37,828 --> 00:48:40,648
FRED: And to take on Harris
and his Mazda,
969
00:48:40,749 --> 00:48:44,869
Stig had lined up the Rover 25.
970
00:48:51,309 --> 00:48:52,169
Are you ready, my mate?
971
00:48:52,269 --> 00:48:53,849
Do it for the good
of the second-hand
972
00:48:53,948 --> 00:48:58,288
- car market. Three!
- BOTH: Two! One! Go!
973
00:48:58,389 --> 00:49:00,389
FRED: Oh, he's got
a good start.
974
00:49:01,269 --> 00:49:02,209
PADDY: 'Ey!
975
00:49:02,310 --> 00:49:04,310
Come on, old girl.
976
00:49:05,870 --> 00:49:08,190
- Where is he? Here we are.
- Oh, there he is. Here he is.
977
00:49:10,310 --> 00:49:11,970
Right, I'm struggling a bit
with the gearbox here.
978
00:49:12,069 --> 00:49:13,489
I'm struggling a bit
with the gearbox here.
979
00:49:13,590 --> 00:49:15,750
- Who's on here now? Who is it?
- This is The Stig.
980
00:49:18,029 --> 00:49:19,129
FRED: Chris is on the back.
981
00:49:19,229 --> 00:49:20,169
PADDY: Lovely stuff.
982
00:49:20,269 --> 00:49:23,249
You're doing fantastic, Chris.
Well ahead, pal!
983
00:49:23,350 --> 00:49:25,350
Come on!
984
00:49:30,191 --> 00:49:32,451
Got to carry more speed
through the corners, Harris!
985
00:49:32,551 --> 00:49:34,551
Go on, Chris!
986
00:49:37,510 --> 00:49:39,510
- That's The Stig.
- Smashed him. Well through.
987
00:49:40,991 --> 00:49:43,191
Come on,
find me a gear, you old girl!
988
00:49:46,992 --> 00:49:48,252
Go on, Chris.
Keep pushing, son.
989
00:49:48,352 --> 00:49:49,772
CHRIS: Really throw it in now!
990
00:49:49,872 --> 00:49:51,332
FRED: The Stig's going
through here now. He's got him.
991
00:49:51,432 --> 00:49:53,612
- Go on, Chris. Go on, Chris.
- CHRIS: Up against the tyres.
992
00:49:53,711 --> 00:49:55,091
PADDY: Go on, son.
You've got this.
993
00:49:55,192 --> 00:49:56,492
- Go on, Chris.
- No, he's not got him.
994
00:49:56,591 --> 00:49:58,451
- He's not got him.
- Come on, come on. Push.
995
00:49:58,551 --> 00:50:00,711
Trying to give it everything
but my gearbox is sticking.
996
00:50:02,192 --> 00:50:04,632
That was close. That was close.
997
00:50:09,553 --> 00:50:10,773
Here we go, here we go!
998
00:50:10,872 --> 00:50:12,972
- He's got him. He's through.
- Push. Come on, Chris!
999
00:50:13,073 --> 00:50:14,173
(BOTH EXCLAIM)
1000
00:50:14,273 --> 00:50:15,853
Chris Harris.
1001
00:50:15,952 --> 00:50:18,212
That was the best I could do.
1002
00:50:18,313 --> 00:50:20,013
- Oh!
- Paddy...
1003
00:50:20,113 --> 00:50:22,453
- That were tight.
- Do us a favour.
1004
00:50:22,553 --> 00:50:24,253
- Just humour him.
- Oh, God...
1005
00:50:24,353 --> 00:50:27,013
You know when he starts?
Excuses. Just humour him.
1006
00:50:27,113 --> 00:50:29,553
- This will go on and on.
- Oh, it will.
1007
00:50:31,314 --> 00:50:34,374
(PADDY AND FRED CHEER)
1008
00:50:34,474 --> 00:50:36,814
- PADDY: Chrissy! Well done!
- Is there some sarcasm here?
1009
00:50:36,913 --> 00:50:38,173
- Oh, no.
- Hey, I'll tell you what,
1010
00:50:38,274 --> 00:50:39,854
- it was close, though.
- You were close to him.
1011
00:50:39,953 --> 00:50:41,693
I had a bit of a mechanical,
lads, I'm afraid.
1012
00:50:41,794 --> 00:50:42,734
Oh! It happens
1013
00:50:42,834 --> 00:50:44,214
- in these cars, Paddy.
- It does.
1014
00:50:44,314 --> 00:50:46,214
The Mazda's going
to the crusher, is it?
1015
00:50:46,314 --> 00:50:48,174
- It's looking like it.
- Do you know what?
1016
00:50:48,274 --> 00:50:50,054
After it did that to me in
that race, I'm not that sad.
1017
00:50:50,153 --> 00:50:51,293
What did it do, Chris?
What happened?
1018
00:50:51,394 --> 00:50:52,774
- Oh, the old automatic went.
- Ooh.
1019
00:50:52,875 --> 00:50:55,295
So you've just thrown the Mazda
under the crusher? That's it?
1020
00:50:55,394 --> 00:50:57,814
Well, what am I supposed
to do with it? It didn't...
1021
00:50:57,915 --> 00:50:59,645
It didn't perform in the race
for me.
1022
00:50:59,755 --> 00:51:02,575
Well, don't be bitter. Glitter.
1023
00:51:02,675 --> 00:51:03,765
Now go on, off you pop.
1024
00:51:03,875 --> 00:51:05,535
Get yourself a cup of tea.
I don't know.
1025
00:51:05,635 --> 00:51:07,635
You did well. Well done, Paddy.
1026
00:51:08,795 --> 00:51:11,215
PADDY: Oh, yes,
with Harris's reputation
1027
00:51:11,314 --> 00:51:13,654
for snaffling out a bargain
1028
00:51:13,755 --> 00:51:16,455
now being reduced
to the size of a wheelie bin,
1029
00:51:16,555 --> 00:51:18,655
next it was time
1030
00:51:18,756 --> 00:51:21,696
for the battle
of the sports cars.
1031
00:51:21,796 --> 00:51:25,216
Because to chase down
Fred's Celica,
1032
00:51:25,316 --> 00:51:31,176
Stig had chosen
the MG ZT-T diesel estate.
1033
00:51:31,276 --> 00:51:32,896
I don't...
1034
00:51:32,996 --> 00:51:33,936
Don't...
1035
00:51:34,036 --> 00:51:35,936
Come...
Just come back breathing.
1036
00:51:36,036 --> 00:51:37,016
FRED: All right.
1037
00:51:37,117 --> 00:51:38,657
I was trying to say,
"Don't die."
1038
00:51:38,756 --> 00:51:41,256
- Don't say that.
- I was just... Be alive.
1039
00:51:41,357 --> 00:51:43,817
- You've got this, big lad!
- Come on, Fred.
1040
00:51:43,917 --> 00:51:47,237
- I'll put t'window up.
- Yeah, that'll help.
1041
00:51:48,397 --> 00:51:50,177
PADDY: Here we go.
1042
00:51:50,277 --> 00:51:51,777
Come on, the Celica.
Don't let me down.
1043
00:51:51,877 --> 00:51:56,157
Best of luck, Fred.
Three, two, one, go!
1044
00:52:01,598 --> 00:52:04,098
Well, it's a keen start.
Come on, the Celica!
1045
00:52:04,198 --> 00:52:05,458
I like this. This works well.
1046
00:52:05,558 --> 00:52:06,898
- PADDY: It's lovely.
- FRED: It's brilliant.
1047
00:52:06,997 --> 00:52:08,497
PADDY: It's like
a computer game. Wzz-vroom!
1048
00:52:08,598 --> 00:52:10,598
CHRIS: It's like Fred-vision.
1049
00:52:10,997 --> 00:52:13,277
FRED: Ooh, that was
a bit close to them cars.
1050
00:52:14,917 --> 00:52:16,917
PADDY: This is The Stig.
1051
00:52:18,758 --> 00:52:19,698
CHRIS:
I think he might have him,
1052
00:52:19,798 --> 00:52:21,898
cos I think that is a heavy
old boat, that estate car.
1053
00:52:21,999 --> 00:52:23,419
A bit of a bump. Wahey!
1054
00:52:23,519 --> 00:52:25,299
- PADDY: Here we are.
- Come on. Go, go, go.
1055
00:52:25,399 --> 00:52:27,699
CHRIS: He's ahead, isn't he?
PADDY: Ooh.
1056
00:52:27,799 --> 00:52:30,539
Last lap, Fred. Last lap. Keep
pushing, son! Keep pushing!
1057
00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:32,799
FRED: Come on, the Celica!
Get round.
1058
00:52:38,479 --> 00:52:40,219
- That was close.
- Keep going, Fred!
1059
00:52:40,318 --> 00:52:41,218
You're doing a great job!
1060
00:52:41,318 --> 00:52:43,418
Oh, I missed it!
1061
00:52:43,519 --> 00:52:45,579
I think he's just overshot it
and gone straight on.
1062
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:47,980
FRED: I missed it.
I was daydreaming!
1063
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,080
OK, so we're done.
1064
00:52:52,319 --> 00:52:53,779
(LAUGHS)
1065
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,500
He's definitely behind...
1066
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,600
I think the old GPS failed!
1067
00:53:00,399 --> 00:53:02,999
No! It was going so well.
1068
00:53:07,961 --> 00:53:09,901
PADDY: Here he comes.
1069
00:53:10,001 --> 00:53:12,801
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
1070
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:18,420
Jeez! One mistake cost me.
1071
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,380
How are we gonna play this?
Do the applause thingy.
1072
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,480
(BOTH CHEER)
1073
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:26,860
- Fantastic!
- FRED: All in one piece.
1074
00:53:26,961 --> 00:53:28,581
- Fantastic!
- Well done, Andrew.
1075
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,460
- Fantastic!
- That was amazing!
1076
00:53:30,562 --> 00:53:32,342
Thank you for
your patronising tones.
1077
00:53:32,442 --> 00:53:33,702
(PADDY AND CHRIS LAUGH)
1078
00:53:33,801 --> 00:53:35,501
Did you see The Stig
actually behind you?
1079
00:53:35,602 --> 00:53:39,062
I just lost me bearings.
I was going straight.
1080
00:53:39,162 --> 00:53:41,182
CHRIS: The Celica
is in one piece.
1081
00:53:41,282 --> 00:53:43,342
And, more importantly,
so is he.
1082
00:53:43,442 --> 00:53:45,342
- And we're only 2-0 down.
- Thanks, Pad.
1083
00:53:45,442 --> 00:53:47,982
So... Oh, that's two cars
crushed.
1084
00:53:48,082 --> 00:53:49,262
On you go.
1085
00:53:49,362 --> 00:53:50,702
- Oh.
- Go get 'em, tiger.
1086
00:53:50,801 --> 00:53:53,381
Got to do it for the Civic.
Got to do it for the Civic!
1087
00:53:53,483 --> 00:53:55,863
Yeah, that's three cars
crushed.
1088
00:53:55,962 --> 00:53:57,582
(LAUGHS)
1089
00:53:57,683 --> 00:54:00,183
CHRIS: So, with Fred's Celica
1090
00:54:00,283 --> 00:54:02,283
now off to the great track day
in the sky...
1091
00:54:03,443 --> 00:54:04,583
...trying to stop the crusher
1092
00:54:04,683 --> 00:54:08,463
from enjoying
a full three-course supper...
1093
00:54:08,563 --> 00:54:11,343
...would be McGuinness
and his Civic.
1094
00:54:11,443 --> 00:54:16,463
And in a clear statement
of contempt for his chances,
1095
00:54:16,564 --> 00:54:18,544
Stig had decided to take him on
1096
00:54:18,644 --> 00:54:21,224
in the Vauxhall Agila.
1097
00:54:21,323 --> 00:54:23,183
Paddy, we need you here.
1098
00:54:23,283 --> 00:54:27,443
Leave it to the gaffer, boys.
Oh, here we go.
1099
00:54:31,604 --> 00:54:32,824
Are you ready, Pad?
1100
00:54:32,924 --> 00:54:37,514
In three, two, one, go!
1101
00:54:37,604 --> 00:54:40,514
Go, Paddy. Go on, son!
1102
00:54:40,604 --> 00:54:42,604
PADDY: We're off.
1103
00:54:44,165 --> 00:54:45,505
Oh, 'ey up.
This is a bit tricky.
1104
00:54:45,604 --> 00:54:48,234
'Ey up. There we go. Wahey!
1105
00:54:48,325 --> 00:54:49,265
Stig's got his eye in now.
1106
00:54:49,365 --> 00:54:51,365
Look at the speed
he's going at here.
1107
00:54:53,845 --> 00:54:57,165
- There we go. Hey-hey!
- He looks a bit slow.
1108
00:54:58,725 --> 00:55:00,265
The Stig's round here now.
1109
00:55:00,366 --> 00:55:01,666
- FRED: Is he ahead?
- CHRIS: Comfortably.
1110
00:55:01,765 --> 00:55:03,305
FRED: Oh, he's killing him.
He's killing him.
1111
00:55:03,406 --> 00:55:05,666
- Oh, my Lord.
- FRED: Come on, Pad.
1112
00:55:05,765 --> 00:55:06,985
PADDY: Man alive!
1113
00:55:07,086 --> 00:55:10,026
FRED: Over the line. Over the
line! Keep going. Come on, Pad!
1114
00:55:10,126 --> 00:55:11,946
- That's one.
- He's nowhere near.

1117
00:55:18,126 --> 00:55:20,126
Where's The Stig?
1118
00:55:21,366 --> 00:55:23,306
- What's McGuinness playing at?
- He's here again, the Stig.
1119
00:55:23,407 --> 00:55:24,827
Come on, Paddy!
1120
00:55:24,926 --> 00:55:27,426
- PADDY: Oh, God. Oh, God.
- FRED: Come on, come on, Pad.
1121
00:55:27,527 --> 00:55:29,527

Oh, no. He's... Where is he?
Come on, Pad. Paddy!

PADDY: Is that it?
1126
00:55:40,807 --> 00:55:42,707
FRED ON RADIO: Paddy,
you've finished. Come in.
1127

Oh.

He's no idea.

- Go on, son!

Listen, you're too happy.
You're too happy.

I take it that's me.
1140
00:56:09,649 --> 00:56:11,309
You came second.
1141
00:56:11,408 --> 00:56:13,948
- That's the way we look at it.
- CHRIS: See? Positive.
1142
00:56:14,049 --> 00:56:16,969
- Second place. Never mind.
- So what does that mean?
1143
00:56:20,009 --> 00:56:22,749
CHRIS: Well, first of all,
it meant the crusher
1144
00:56:22,849 --> 00:56:24,829
had had a busy evening.
1145
00:56:24,929 --> 00:56:26,929
PADDY: Oh!
1146
00:56:27,488 --> 00:56:28,988
Oh, no!

No, no, no.

Oh...

00:56:32,330 --> 00:56:34,330
Oh...
1150
00:56:34,970 --> 00:56:36,470
My word.
1151
00:56:36,569 --> 00:56:39,389
Me little Civic. Here it comes.

What a shame.
1155
00:56:47,930 --> 00:56:49,470
My gosh.
1156
00:56:49,569 --> 00:56:53,109
CHRIS: What's more,
it was time to conclude that,
1157
00:56:53,211 --> 00:56:55,991
while there may well be
a few diamonds out there
1158
00:56:56,091 --> 00:56:57,511
in the used-car rough...
1159

PADDY: Oh, dear.
1160
00:57:00,051 --> 00:57:03,031
...over the last couple
of days of intensive testing...
1161
00:57:03,131 --> 00:57:06,071
...we hadn't found them.
1162

PADDY: Well, our sub-£500 cars
1163

reduced to furniture.
1164
00:57:12,491 --> 00:57:14,071
I've go to tell you, lads...

...I'm crushed!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

No, I'm not sure about that.
1169
00:57:27,171 --> 00:57:29,911
So, the question was...
1170
00:57:30,011 --> 00:57:32,991
...for less than 500 quid,
could you get something
1171
00:57:33,091 --> 00:57:35,471
that will give you years
of reliable motoring?
1172
00:57:35,572 --> 00:57:38,752
And the answer is yes -
well, as long as you don't go
1173
00:57:38,853 --> 00:57:41,873
ragging it round
a tank assault course
1174
00:57:41,973 --> 00:57:43,873
or race The Stig through
a deserted scrapyard.
1175
00:57:43,973 --> 00:57:46,353
I thought it was horrible,
watching 'em get scrapped.
1176
00:57:46,452 --> 00:57:48,312
- That big claw coming in...
- It was medieval.
1177
00:57:48,412 --> 00:57:50,312
Hung, drawn and quartered.
1178
00:57:50,412 --> 00:57:51,672
It was like Mad Max meets
1179
00:57:51,773 --> 00:57:53,953
that grabby machine thing you
play with down in the arcade.
1180
00:57:54,053 --> 00:57:56,113
I hate to see a car die.
But we have to say,
1181
00:57:56,212 --> 00:57:58,712
all these cars were going to
the scrapper anyhow, all right?
1182
00:57:58,814 --> 00:58:00,954
Exactly. If we hadn't
have bought 'em,
1183
00:58:01,054 --> 00:58:04,634
the breakers would have.
They died so others could live.
1184
00:58:04,734 --> 00:58:06,114
And at least we gave 'em
a bit of excitement
1185
00:58:06,214 --> 00:58:07,874
before they finally kicked
the bucket.
1186
00:58:07,974 --> 00:58:09,034
And look at this -
1187
00:58:09,134 --> 00:58:12,514
we've got three beautiful
coffee tables, hey?
1188
00:58:12,613 --> 00:58:14,353

- Ah!

for tonight.

We'll be back next week,

Chris Harris loose

go back in time

to tackle motorsport
1920s-style.
