00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:12,553
Ellen MacArthur sets sail on our track.
7
00:00:12,553 --> 00:00:12,586
8
00:00:12,586 --> 00:00:16,486
And how much supercar do you get for £10,000?

00:00:16,486 --> 00:00:20,486
10
00:00:21,220 --> 00:00:25,220
Hello. Now last week on the show, we had a Pagani Zonda.
11
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:25,253
12
00:00:25,253 --> 00:00:29,153
And this week, we're kicking off with another one!
13
00:00:29,153 --> 00:00:32,153
14
00:00:32,153 --> 00:00:35,420
--HAMMOND: This is it. It's called the Zonda F.
15
00:00:35,420 --> 00:00:36,753
16
00:00:36,753 --> 00:00:40,586
Nearly the whole body from nose to tail has been restyled
17
00:00:40,586 --> 00:00:40,620
18
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:42,586
following a visit to the wind tunnel.
19
00:00:42,586 --> 00:00:42,620
20
00:00:42,620 --> 00:00:46,620
On top of that, the interior is now even more insane.
21
00:00:47,586 --> 00:00:47,620
22
00:00:47,620 --> 00:00:51,053
The wheels are magnesium and the whole exhaust system
23
00:00:51,053 --> 00:00:51,086
24
00:00:51,086 --> 00:00:54,420
has been forged from titanium.
25
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:54,453
26
00:00:54,453 --> 00:00:58,320
The price for the F is £440,000,
27
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:58,353
28
00:00:58,353 --> 00:01:01,060
£100,000 more than the normal Zonda.
29
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:02,793
30
00:01:02,793 --> 00:01:06,060
So, you'd hope the changes aren't just cosmetic.
31
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:06,093
32
00:01:06,093 --> 00:01:08,193
And indeed, they aren't.
33
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:09,426
34
00:01:09,426 --> 00:01:10,693
Dear God!
35
00:01:10,693 --> 00:01:13,893
36
00:01:13,893 --> 00:01:17,893
The power has gone up from 555 brake horsepower
37
00:01:18,293 --> 00:01:18,326
38
00:01:18,326 --> 00:01:21,060
to 602.
39
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:21,093
40
00:01:21,093 --> 00:01:25,093
That is two Porsche Caymans, in a car that weighs less than one Porsche Cayman.
41
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,293
42
00:01:29,293 --> 00:01:32,926
Naught to 60, 3.6 seconds.
43
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:32,960
44
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,760
Top speed, 215 mph, maybe more.
45
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,393
46
00:01:38,393 --> 00:01:41,360
But the F isn't merely about extra grunt.
47
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,460
48
00:01:42,460 --> 00:01:44,826
God really is in the details.
49
00:01:44,826 --> 00:01:46,193
50
00:01:46,193 --> 00:01:49,693
The brakes are carbon ceramic.
51
00:01:49,693 --> 00:01:49,726
52
00:01:49,726 --> 00:01:53,760
Even the carbon fibre in the structure of the car that you can't see,
53
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:53,793
54
00:01:53,793 --> 00:01:57,793
they've changed the weave to make it lighter and stronger.
55
00:01:58,093 --> 00:02:02,166
56
00:02:02,166 --> 00:02:05,833
It's such a bizarre mixture of power and precision.
57
00:02:05,833 --> 00:02:05,866
58
00:02:05,866 --> 00:02:09,866
If surgeons used chainsaws, this is what they'd have!
59
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:12,233
60
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:16,333
Put it all together and the experience is shattering.
61
00:02:16,333 --> 00:02:20,166
62
00:02:20,166 --> 00:02:23,800
The noise! Listen to that!
63
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,600
64
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,633
All of the hair on my body is standing up!
65
00:02:28,633 --> 00:02:32,000
66
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
(LAUGHING) I had tried to think of clever things to say then, but I couldn't!
67
00:02:38,966 --> 00:02:39,000
68
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,166
It's just... I'm gonna do that again!
69

73
00:02:48,733 --> 00:02:48,766
74
00:02:48,766 --> 00:02:51,366
That is unbelievable, that car!
75
00:02:51,366 --> 00:02:51,400
76
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,266
It's brilliant. I love it!
77
00:02:54,266 --> 00:02:54,300
78
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:58,300
And, like I said... Like I said,
79
00:02:59,400 --> 00:02:59,433
80
00:02:59,433 --> 00:03:02,673
it really is about that combination of just precision and power.
81
00:03:02,673 --> 00:03:02,706
82
00:03:02,706 --> 00:03:06,373
It's like pressing the button on a beautifully crafted watch and then
83
00:03:06,373 --> 00:03:06,406
84
00:03:06,406 --> 00:03:10,006
(BEEP) all the volcanoes in the world erupt! It's astonishing!
85
00:03:10,006 --> 00:03:10,040
86
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,673
No, the thing is though, we've now got to find out how fast it goes round our track.
87
00:03:13,673 --> 00:03:13,706
88
00:03:13,706 --> 00:03:17,473
So that means handing it over to our tame racing driver.

100
00:03:37,906 --> 00:03:41,906
That means beating the Maserati MC 12 that has 21 more horsepower.

00:03:42,773 --> 00:03:42,806
102
00:03:42,806 --> 00:03:46,806

00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:19,793
HAMMOND: I've got a Ferrari.
197
00:06:19,793 --> 00:06:19,826
198
00:06:19,826 --> 00:06:21,793
No, you haven't. It is a Ferrari!
199
00:06:21,793 --> 00:06:21,826
200
00:06:21,826 --> 00:06:23,660
It just isn't a Ferrari.
201
00:06:23,660 --> 00:06:23,693
202
00:06:23,693 --> 00:06:27,226
CLARKSON: What Richard had bought was never originally called a Ferrari.
203
00:06:27,226 --> 00:06:27,260
204
00:06:27,260 --> 00:06:31,360
It was so slow and wet, it was actually called a Dino.
205
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,393
206
00:06:31,393 --> 00:06:34,993
There's no point going, "I bought my shirt at George," it's from ASDA.
207
00:06:34,993 --> 00:06:35,026
208
00:06:35,026 --> 00:06:37,126
You've got a George car.
209
00:06:37,126 --> 00:06:37,160
210
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,993
(LAUGHING) What's this?
211
00:06:39,993 --> 00:06:40,026
212
00:06:40,026 --> 00:06:43,160
-It's a spare wheel! -Hang on, they're a V6, aren't they?
213
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:43,193
214
00:06:43,193 --> 00:06:45,060
Yeah, but it's brilliant.
215
00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:45,093
216
00:06:45,093 --> 00:06:48,960
The engine in this, the guy I bought it from
217
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:48,993
218
00:06:48,993 --> 00:06:52,360
just spent £10,000 rebuilding that engine.
219
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:52,393
220
00:06:52,393 --> 00:06:54,293
Sold the whole car for seven.
221
00:06:54,293 --> 00:06:54,326
222
00:06:54,326 --> 00:06:55,960
-Sensible plan. -Shows how much the rest of it's worth.
223
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:55,993
224
00:06:55,993 --> 00:06:57,893
Watch the headlamps.
225
00:06:57,893 --> 00:06:57,926
226
00:06:57,926 --> 00:07:00,800
They work brilliantly. Ready?
227
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:00,833
228
00:07:00,833 --> 00:07:03,800
-There you go. The headlights are on. -But they're...
229
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:03,833
230
00:07:03,833 --> 00:07:06,600
No, you can see they're on, if you get down here.
231
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:06,633
232
00:07:06,633 --> 00:07:09,966
-Look, there they are. Can you see them? -Yeah. (LAUGHING)
233
00:07:09,966 --> 00:07:10,000
234
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,166
Oh, that's a shame.
235
00:07:12,166 --> 00:07:12,200
236
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,266
There you have it. Now let go of it.
237
00:07:14,266 --> 00:07:14,300
238
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:15,666
If I let go?
239
00:07:15,666 --> 00:07:15,700
240
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:17,966
(LAUGHING)
241
00:07:17,966 --> 00:07:18,000
242
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,233
--CLARKSON: You may have noticed we're waffling a bit.
243
00:07:20,233 --> 00:07:20,266
244
00:07:20,266 --> 00:07:24,066
And that's because we're waiting for Captain Sense of Direction,
245
00:07:24,066 --> 00:07:24,100
246
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:26,866
who we assumed had gotten lost.
247
00:07:26,866 --> 00:07:26,900
248
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:28,666
(GROANING) You fancy some lunch?
249
00:07:28,666 --> 00:07:28,700
250
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:30,733
CLARKSON: But we were wrong.
251
00:07:30,733 --> 00:07:34,000
252
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,433
James has bought an AA truck!
253
00:07:35,433 --> 00:07:35,466
254
00:07:35,466 --> 00:07:36,800
(LAUGHING)
255
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,566
256
00:07:37,566 --> 00:07:39,400
He's bought a... (LAUGHING)
257
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:39,433
258
00:07:39,433 --> 00:07:43,366
At least he's made it to the end of our last one of these before getting on one!
259
00:07:43,366 --> 00:07:43,400
260
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,400
-Right... -James, we said a mid-engined Italian supercar,
261
00:07:49,066 --> 00:07:49,100
262
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:50,700
not a truck.
263
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:50,733
264
00:07:50,733 --> 00:07:52,266
(LAUGHING)
265
00:07:52,266 --> 00:07:52,300
266
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:54,900
Is that the best you two can come up with?
267
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:54,933
268
00:07:54,933 --> 00:07:57,500
Yes, it is. What is your car?
269
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:57,533
270
00:07:57,533 --> 00:07:59,440
That, gentlemen... Was...
271
00:07:59,440 --> 00:07:59,473
272
00:07:59,473 --> 00:08:02,373
A Lamborghini Urraco. Look at it!
273
00:08:02,373 --> 00:08:02,406
274
00:08:02,406 --> 00:08:03,540
Not a very good example!
275
00:08:03,540 --> 00:08:03,573
276
00:08:03,573 --> 00:08:05,073
It's superb!
277
00:08:05,073 --> 00:08:05,106
278
00:08:05,106 --> 00:08:07,573
CLARKSON: But, James, let's cut to the chase. -Okay.
279
00:08:07,573 --> 00:08:07,606
280
00:08:07,606 --> 00:08:08,706
It's on a lorry.
281
00:08:08,706 --> 00:08:08,740
282
00:08:08,740 --> 00:08:10,073
It's an electrical problem.
283
00:08:10,073 --> 00:08:10,106
284
00:08:10,106 --> 00:08:13,640
-(LAUGHING) -The Italians invented electricity, as we know.
285
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:13,673
286
00:08:13,673 --> 00:08:17,073
CLARKSON: James decided the best form of defence was attack.
287
00:08:17,073 --> 00:08:17,106
288
00:08:17,106 --> 00:08:20,306
Let me see. I know about old cars, as you know. And I can look at this
289
00:08:20,306 --> 00:08:20,340
290
00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:23,173
and with my trained eye, I can tell you immediately that that is a pup.
291
00:08:23,173 --> 00:08:23,206
292
00:08:23,206 --> 00:08:27,106
You've got a trained eye, and you bought that?
293
00:08:27,106 --> 00:08:27,140
294
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:30,740
HAMMOND: So, what had the production team got in store for us?
295
00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:30,773
296
00:08:30,773 --> 00:08:34,206
-Have a look... -CLARKSON: Don't do that to my car!
297
00:08:34,206 --> 00:08:34,240
298
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,973
Your '70s supercar mission for today is to drive from Bristol
299
00:08:37,973 --> 00:08:38,006
300
00:08:38,006 --> 00:08:39,873
to Spearmint Rhino in Slough.
301
00:08:39,873 --> 00:08:39,906
302
00:08:39,906 --> 00:08:41,906
That's a lap-dancing club.
303
00:08:41,906 --> 00:08:41,940
304
00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:43,706
Is it? (CHUCKLING)
305
00:08:43,706 --> 00:08:43,740
306
00:08:43,740 --> 00:08:46,373
-Oh, you don't know. -No, that's what these cars are about! Okay, fair enough.
307
00:08:46,373 --> 00:08:46,406
308
00:08:46,406 --> 00:08:48,406
You may not use the M4 itself.
309
00:08:48,406 --> 00:08:48,440
310
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,440
So we have to go along the M4 corridor on the wiggly road.
311
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:51,473
312
00:08:51,473 --> 00:08:53,040
Swindon, Reading...
313
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:53,073
314
00:08:53,073 --> 00:08:54,406
Maidstone...
315
00:08:54,406 --> 00:08:55,506
316
00:08:55,506 --> 00:08:58,340
Your sense of direction! You mean Maidenhead.
317
00:08:58,340 --> 00:08:58,373
318
00:08:58,373 --> 00:08:59,740
Oh, yeah. (LAUGHING)
319
00:08:59,740 --> 00:08:59,773
320
00:08:59,773 --> 00:09:03,113
As long as he's got a sense of direction, he can get him there.
321
00:09:03,113 --> 00:09:03,146
322
00:09:03,146 --> 00:09:06,846
HAMMOND: As usual, points would be lost for unforeseen stoppages,
323
00:09:06,846 --> 00:09:06,880
324
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,480
and naturally, there would be a series of challenges along the way.
325
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:10,513
326
00:09:10,513 --> 00:09:12,580
See you there. Bye.
327
00:09:12,580 --> 00:09:16,580
328
00:09:17,146 --> 00:09:19,980
What I love about this particular Merak
329
00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:20,013
330
00:09:20,013 --> 00:09:24,646
is that it is the SS, one of the later ones, very rare.
331
00:09:24,646 --> 00:09:24,680
332
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:27,646
They only made 652 of them.
333
00:09:27,646 --> 00:09:27,680
334
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,680
Now, this is kind of heavy A-road traffic through town, stop-start stuff.
335
00:09:32,946 --> 00:09:32,980
336
00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:36,313
I'll expect it to overheat here, frankly, and nothing!
337
00:09:36,313 --> 00:09:36,346
338
00:09:36,346 --> 00:09:40,346
Water temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, all perfect.
339
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:41,213
340
00:09:41,213 --> 00:09:44,046
I wonder if James has got his alternator going yet.
341
00:09:44,046 --> 00:09:45,546
342
00:09:45,546 --> 00:09:47,680
CLARKSON: He had! Sort of.
343
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:47,713
344
00:09:47,713 --> 00:09:51,713
Right, now the battery is discharging, the oil temperature is very high,
345
00:09:52,246 --> 00:09:52,280
346
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,280
the oil pressure is very low, the engine temperature is off the end of the scale,
347
00:09:57,113 --> 00:09:57,146
348
00:09:57,146 --> 00:10:00,586
I'm running out of petrol, but the clock is correct.
349
00:10:00,586 --> 00:10:04,586
350
00:10:09,386 --> 00:10:13,986
Right, we're out of Bristol. No mechanical maladies to report.
351
00:10:13,986 --> 00:10:17,253
352
00:10:17,253 --> 00:10:21,986
There's smoke coming out of the back of that thing! That's smoke!
353
00:10:21,986 --> 00:10:24,253
354
00:10:24,253 --> 00:10:27,920
Eh? No, it's not a kit car. It's a Lamborghini!
355
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,353
356
00:10:29,353 --> 00:10:31,120
Philistine.
357
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,186
358
00:10:33,186 --> 00:10:37,186
I've noticed that my speedo is a bit, um, optimistic.
359
00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:39,453
360
00:10:39,453 --> 00:10:43,753
We were stuck behind a tractor earlier on that was doing 50,
361
00:10:43,753 --> 00:10:43,786
362
00:10:43,786 --> 00:10:46,086
according to this.
363
00:10:46,086 --> 00:10:46,120
364
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,520
--HAMMOND: Never mind! Could be worse!
365
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,053
366
00:10:51,053 --> 00:10:54,553
Yes, James had run out of electricity again.
367
00:10:54,553 --> 00:10:58,553
368
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,826
CLARKSON: I just can't believe somebody's put a Ferrari badge on that when it isn't one.
369
00:11:04,826 --> 00:11:04,860
370
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:06,726
But there you are, you know. If it makes you happy.
371
00:11:06,726 --> 00:11:06,760
372
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,926
How can they say "not a Ferrari"?
373
00:11:09,926 --> 00:11:09,960
374
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,960
It was named after Enzo Ferrari's tragically dead son,
375
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:14,593
376
00:11:14,593 --> 00:11:18,460
and built to fit old man Ferrari himself!
377
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:19,793
378
00:11:19,793 --> 00:11:23,426
What a marvellous day. Sun shining,
379
00:11:23,426 --> 00:11:23,460
380
00:11:23,460 --> 00:11:27,093
Maserati to drive, endless scope for laughing at Hammond
381
00:11:27,093 --> 00:11:27,126
382
00:11:27,126 --> 00:11:31,926
for buying the wrong car and James for buying one that doesn't work.
383
00:11:31,926 --> 00:11:31,960
384
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,960
--MAY: Actually, I got my car working, and what a car!
385
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:36,593
386
00:11:36,593 --> 00:11:40,760
'Course, in its day, the Urraco was one of the fastest and most exciting
387
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:40,793
388
00:11:40,793 --> 00:11:42,560
four-seater cars you could buy.
389
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:42,593
390
00:11:42,593 --> 00:11:46,593
142 miles an hour, naught to 60 in about six and a half seconds...
391
00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:48,793
392
00:11:48,793 --> 00:11:52,326
It was ever such a long time ago, though.
393
00:11:52,326 --> 00:11:52,360
394
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,360
HAMMOND: Meanwhile, Jeremy and I were nearing our first challenge.
395
00:11:57,293 --> 00:11:57,326
396
00:11:57,326 --> 00:12:01,326
Castle Combe Racing Circuit. You have got to be kidding!
397
00:12:02,260 --> 00:12:02,293
398
00:12:02,293 --> 00:12:06,293
Racetrack? That's when we see the Maserati come good!
399
00:12:08,466 --> 00:12:09,433
400
00:12:09,433 --> 00:12:11,666
I'm feeling confident.
401
00:12:11,666 --> 00:12:13,533
402
00:12:13,533 --> 00:12:16,433
--CLARKSON: So why was Hammond nervous?
403
00:12:16,433 --> 00:12:16,466
404
00:12:16,466 --> 00:12:19,033
You see, my car has a bit of a secret.
405
00:12:19,033 --> 00:12:19,066
406
00:12:19,066 --> 00:12:23,966
In the back of it, there's a sub-frame, which on the 308, holds the engine in
407
00:12:23,966 --> 00:12:24,000
408
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,466
and the wheels on. Keeps them attached to the body.
409
00:12:27,466 --> 00:12:27,500
410
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:31,466
And, um, it's just made of rust.
411
00:12:31,466 --> 00:12:31,500
412
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,533
--HAMMOND: Still, could be worse.
413
00:12:33,533 --> 00:12:37,533
414
00:12:38,066 --> 00:12:41,166
Yes, James had broken down again.
415
00:12:41,166 --> 00:12:45,900
416
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:48,766
--CLARKSON: Castle Combe is 20 miles from Bristol

418
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,366
and most of us got there.
419
00:12:51,366 --> 00:12:51,400
420
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,766
It's a fierce track this,
421
00:12:53,766 --> 00:12:53,800
422
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,366
one of the fastest in Britain,
423
00:12:56,366 --> 00:12:56,400
424
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,466
a real car-breaker.
425
00:12:58,466 --> 00:12:58,500
426
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:02,073
Can we have the challenge? Find out what it is? He can pick up later on.
427
00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:02,106
428
00:13:02,106 --> 00:13:03,606
Yeah.
429
00:13:03,606 --> 00:13:03,640
430
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,873
I know what this is gonna be.
431
00:13:04,873 --> 00:13:04,906
432
00:13:04,906 --> 00:13:06,106
Go on.
433
00:13:06,106 --> 00:13:06,140
434
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:08,673
Stig'll drive them round the track, points for the winner.
435
00:13:08,673 --> 00:13:10,006
436
00:13:10,006 --> 00:13:11,673
No, it isn't!
437
00:13:11,673 --> 00:13:11,706
438
00:13:11,706 --> 00:13:15,973
It's "Your supercars were built in the '70s. How super are they today?

454
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,340
And across the line in, one minute thirty-five seconds.

00:13:59,340 --> 00:13:59,373
456
00:13:59,373 --> 00:14:01,913
Well actually, I'd say we stood a... Hello!

00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,113
No, I'm in my car. Is it on a truck?

00:14:09,113 --> 00:14:09,146
464
00:14:09,146 --> 00:14:10,680
No, it's not. It's fine.

00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:10,713
466
00:14:10,713 --> 00:14:12,413
Did it break down on the way here?
467
00:14:12,413 --> 00:14:12,446

00:14:12,446 --> 00:14:14,813
-No, I just had to stop and fill it up with electricity. -(LAUGHING)

472
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,646
we decided to make hay and send it out first.

508
00:15:16,753 --> 00:15:18,620

522
00:15:38,186 --> 00:15:42,186
HAMMOND: And with 255 horsepower, it was also the most powerful.
523
00:15:43,786 --> 00:15:43,820
524
00:15:43,820 --> 00:15:45,953
It's indicating 100 miles an hour.

526
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,086
This is probably about 50.

00:15:49,086 --> 00:15:49,120
528
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,320
He's very competitive.

00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:50,353
530
00:15:50,353 --> 00:15:51,653
He is very competitive.

00:15:51,653 --> 00:15:53,986
532
00:15:53,986 --> 00:15:55,853
He's taking it very seriously.

00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,193
538
00:16:03,193 --> 00:16:06,726
How long before Hammond blames a misfire?

540
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,526

544
00:16:10,226 --> 00:16:13,993
The problem is it rolls, so I thought I'll have to make up time on the straights.
545
00:16:13,993 --> 00:16:14,026
546
00:16:14,026 --> 00:16:15,260
Yeah but the engine sounded pretty healthy.

00:16:18,193 --> 00:16:20,360
I knew! I knew you'd say...
551
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:20,393
552
00:16:20,393 --> 00:16:22,526
It did!

00:16:22,526 --> 00:16:22,560
554
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,260
CLARKSON: Finally, it was the turn of the mighty Merak.
555
00:16:26,260 --> 00:16:26,560
556
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,760
Go!

561
00:16:37,926 --> 00:16:37,960

00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,626

00:16:44,660 --> 00:16:44,693
566
00:16:44,693 --> 00:16:48,026
And that's all the rebuilt engine has to give.
567
00:16:48,026 --> 00:16:48,060
568
00:16:48,060 --> 00:16:50,193
Nicely balanced, though.

00:16:50,193 --> 00:16:51,593
570
00:16:51,593 --> 00:16:52,960

00:17:06,166 --> 00:17:07,233
I've got it. Don't say it...

636
00:18:34,206 --> 00:18:36,140
So what's he got to hit? How much have you lost?

780
00:21:59,987 --> 00:22:02,253
Two points for being a doctor.
781

00:22:03,687 --> 00:22:03,720
784
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,060
Yeah. Go on, then, what was yours?
785
00:22:05,060 --> 00:22:05,093
786
00:22:05,093 --> 00:22:07,793
-Well, I said I'm an after-dinner speaker. -(LAUGHING)
787
00:22:07,793 --> 00:22:07,827
788
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:09,393
You see? I've done two!
789
00:22:09,393 --> 00:22:09,427
790
00:22:09,427 --> 00:22:13,193
-Two hundred. -It is two, it's every week. Anyway, what was your quote?
791
00:22:13,193 --> 00:22:13,227
792
00:22:13,227 --> 00:22:17,260
Well, for a big corporate bank, £5,000. I suppose for a charity I'll do it for £3,500.
793
00:22:17,260 --> 00:22:17,293
794
00:22:17,293 --> 00:22:20,227
No, you blithering idiot. What was your insurance quote?
795
00:22:20,227 --> 00:22:20,260
796
00:22:20,260 --> 00:22:22,093
Oh! A grand. £1,000.
797
00:22:22,093 --> 00:22:22,127
798
00:22:22,127 --> 00:22:25,560
That includes, presumably, the £800 to cover your new expensive teeth?
799
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:25,593
800
00:22:25,593 --> 00:22:28,927
I've not had my teeth whitened.
801
00:22:28,927 --> 00:22:28,960
802
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,960
I just haven't. So I actually lose, that's minus five.
803
00:22:33,227 --> 00:22:33,260
804
00:22:33,260 --> 00:22:36,127
-Englebert's going down here with his new teeth. -HAMMOND: That's bad.
805
00:22:36,127 --> 00:22:36,160
806
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,793
James, you?
807
00:22:37,793 --> 00:22:37,827
808
00:22:37,827 --> 00:22:41,827
Now, I was honest, and I said, I'm a journalist and a broadcaster.
809
00:22:42,460 --> 00:22:42,493
810
00:22:42,493 --> 00:22:44,393
And I bet you told them you lived in London as well.
811
00:22:44,393 --> 00:22:44,427
812
00:22:44,427 --> 00:22:48,793
Yes, single. Car parked on the street. Live in an area of London that's usually on fire.
813

816
00:22:50,293 --> 00:22:51,827
So, your quote was?
817
00:22:51,827 --> 00:22:52,660
818
00:22:52,660 --> 00:22:54,160
£5,000!
819

00:22:55,793 --> 00:22:55,827
822
00:22:55,827 --> 00:22:58,660
Actually, you know, we're laughing... I once had an Escort Cosworth,
823
00:22:58,660 --> 00:22:58,693
824
00:22:58,693 --> 00:23:00,427
okay, years and years and years ago,
825
00:23:00,427 --> 00:23:00,460
826
00:23:00,460 --> 00:23:04,460
and I got a quote for that of £22,000! Twenty-two grand!
827
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,033
828
00:23:05,033 --> 00:23:07,900
-Hang on, the car wasn't worth that! -Oh, no, it was worth £19,000!
829
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:07,933
830
00:23:07,933 --> 00:23:09,100
Anyway, where are we up to?
831
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:09,133
832
00:23:09,133 --> 00:23:11,500
Right, now, I get to minus 28...
833
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:11,533
834
00:23:11,533 --> 00:23:13,500
No, that's you, Jeremy. You're at minus 28.
835
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:13,533
836
00:23:13,533 --> 00:23:15,733
-I'm on minus 20 in my Ferrari. -CLARKSON: 20, it's close.
837
00:23:15,733 --> 00:23:15,767
838
00:23:15,767 --> 00:23:18,167
And James, you lost another 45 there.
839
00:23:18,167 --> 00:23:18,200
840
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,933
I'm on minus...
841
00:23:19,933 --> 00:23:19,967
842
00:23:19,967 --> 00:23:21,467
No, he's on minus 99!
843
00:23:21,467 --> 00:23:21,500
844
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:23,400
Minus 99, James! Well, I was going for 100.
845
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:23,433
846
00:23:23,433 --> 00:23:25,200
Well done, James. Quite frankly, you'd have done better
847
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:25,233
848
00:23:25,233 --> 00:23:27,267
if you hadn't bought a car.
849
00:23:27,267 --> 00:23:27,300
850
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:31,467
Now, we've got to move it on. We'll pick this up later as I said, but for now
851
00:23:31,467 --> 00:23:31,500
852
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:34,200
we've got to put a star in our reasonably priced car.
853
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:34,233
854
00:23:34,233 --> 00:23:36,800
For me, she is just the biggest star in the firmament.
855
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:36,833
856
00:23:36,833 --> 00:23:40,833
She's a goddess. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Ellen MacArthur!

Hello. How are you?

00:23:45,567 --> 00:23:45,600
862
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,000
I'm good.

Oh, this is...

00:23:49,767 --> 00:23:52,300

00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:56,200
My life is complete.

00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:56,233
870
00:23:56,233 --> 00:24:00,700
Every single week, every week since this new type of Top Gear started,
871
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:00,733
872
00:24:00,733 --> 00:24:02,833
every week I've said, have we got Ellen MacArthur on this week?
873
00:24:02,833 --> 00:24:02,867
874
00:24:02,867 --> 00:24:05,407
And every week, "No, we haven't." You're always on a boat.
875
00:24:05,407 --> 00:24:05,440
876
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,440
-It's a problem. -Even this week, where have you been?

00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:08,473
878
00:24:08,473 --> 00:24:11,073
I just got back from Brazil. In a race over there from France.
879
00:24:11,073 --> 00:24:11,107
880
00:24:11,107 --> 00:24:12,907
Finished about a week ago.
881
00:24:12,907 --> 00:24:12,940
882
00:24:12,940 --> 00:24:16,940
You've got the world record now, the fastest person ever to sail round the world.

00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:17,073
884
00:24:17,073 --> 00:24:21,207
And obviously we've all seen those things on TV and we've all read the books.
885
00:24:21,207 --> 00:24:21,240
886
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,940
Well, I've read them! Just... (GROANS)
887
00:24:22,940 --> 00:24:22,973
888
00:24:22,973 --> 00:24:26,340
The thing is, I want to talk about the southern oceans, okay?
889
00:24:26,340 --> 00:24:26,907
890
00:24:26,907 --> 00:24:28,707
How big are they?
891
00:24:28,707 --> 00:24:28,740
892
00:24:28,740 --> 00:24:31,040
Um, they're endless, I think the easy way to say it.
893
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,073
894
00:24:31,073 --> 00:24:33,240
Because they go round and round the bottom of the earth so...
895
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:33,273
896
00:24:33,273 --> 00:24:36,007
-The wind does? -The wind, the weather, the waves, everything.
897
00:24:36,007 --> 00:24:36,040
898
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,107
In the northern hemisphere, where we are, there's land mass.
899
00:24:39,107 --> 00:24:39,140
900
00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:40,840
The storms are stopped by the land mass.
901
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:40,873
902
00:24:40,873 --> 00:24:42,840
In the southern ocean, there's nothing to stop the storms,
903
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:42,873
904
00:24:42,873 --> 00:24:45,807
they just roll round and round. So the waves get bigger and bigger and bigger.
905
00:24:45,807 --> 00:24:45,840
906
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,740
It's incredible. So, how big?
907
00:24:47,740 --> 00:24:47,773
908
00:24:47,773 --> 00:24:51,307
How big? (INHALES) Hmm. Twice the height of the studio, I reckon.
909
00:24:51,307 --> 00:24:51,340
910
00:24:51,340 --> 00:24:53,440
Well, that's what, 30, 60 feet?
911
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:53,473
912
00:24:53,473 --> 00:24:55,073
60 feet. Yeah, I'd say 60 feet.
913
00:24:55,073 --> 00:24:55,107
914
00:24:55,107 --> 00:24:57,840
And they're very, very long, so they're big, but it's like, uh,
915
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:57,873
916
00:24:57,873 --> 00:25:01,273
it's like going down mountains but quite kind of rolling mountains
917
00:25:01,273 --> 00:25:01,307
918
00:25:01,307 --> 00:25:04,447
and suddenly you get a steep one, and they're the ones to watch out for.
919
00:25:04,447 --> 00:25:04,480
920
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,447
-Because you'd just, nose-dive straight in. -Just go down.
921
00:25:07,447 --> 00:25:07,480
922
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,713
Which, in the daytime, is not too bad
923
00:25:08,713 --> 00:25:08,747
924
00:25:08,747 --> 00:25:10,013
because obviously you can see where you're going,
925
00:25:10,013 --> 00:25:10,047
926
00:25:10,047 --> 00:25:11,913
but at night-time you can't see anything.
927
00:25:11,913 --> 00:25:11,947
928
00:25:11,947 --> 00:25:13,813
And the sea, of course, is constantly changing.
929
00:25:13,813 --> 00:25:13,847
930
00:25:13,847 --> 00:25:14,980
There's no sense of rhythm, is there?
931
00:25:14,980 --> 00:25:15,013
932
00:25:15,013 --> 00:25:17,213
There's no sense of, "I'm used to this now."
933
00:25:17,213 --> 00:25:17,247
934
00:25:17,247 --> 00:25:19,580
'Cause any minute now you could have a really huge wave.
935
00:25:19,580 --> 00:25:19,613
936
00:25:19,613 --> 00:25:21,947
Yeah, there are definitely freak waves and you do feel those.
937
00:25:21,947 --> 00:25:21,980
938
00:25:21,980 --> 00:25:24,280
Well, you hear them, the force when they hit the boat.
939
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:24,313
940
00:25:24,313 --> 00:25:26,447
But also with a multi-hull it's harder.
941
00:25:26,447 --> 00:25:26,480
942
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,680
B&Q,--the boat I took round --the world, has three hulls.
943
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:28,713
944
00:25:28,713 --> 00:25:31,847
So it's like having, um... Like a car having six wheels.
945
00:25:31,847 --> 00:25:31,880
946
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,247
You know, something could hit any one of those six wheels and it would be affected by it
947
00:25:35,247 --> 00:25:35,280
948
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,813
it's just the same with a boat.
949
00:25:36,813 --> 00:25:36,847
950
00:25:36,847 --> 00:25:38,780
So, you can never really predict what the boat's gonna do.
951
00:25:38,780 --> 00:25:38,813
952
00:25:38,813 --> 00:25:41,647
Sometimes she's about to go and then suddenly the other hull gets hit.
953
00:25:41,647 --> 00:25:41,680
954
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,613
And it's very, very violent, the motion.
955
00:25:43,613 --> 00:25:43,647
956
00:25:43,647 --> 00:25:47,013
And you don't even get any sleep do you, on these massive voyages?
957
00:25:47,013 --> 00:25:47,047
958
00:25:47,047 --> 00:25:49,380
Well, not really what I'd call a good eight hours!
959
00:25:49,380 --> 00:25:49,413

00:25:50,713 --> 00:25:50,747
962
00:25:50,747 --> 00:25:52,413
Obviously not! No...
963
00:25:52,413 --> 00:25:52,447
964
00:25:52,447 --> 00:25:54,580
No, quite a long way from that.
965
00:25:54,580 --> 00:25:54,613

00:25:56,113 --> 00:25:56,147

Sleep is the single hardest thing you have to deal with out there.

00:25:58,247 --> 00:26:02,313
Harder than the waves, harder than fixing things, harder than everything,
971
00:26:02,313 --> 00:26:02,347
972
00:26:02,347 --> 00:26:04,020
it's just the sleep. Because, it's, you know,
973
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:04,053
974
00:26:04,053 --> 00:26:06,220
sleep deprivation is used as torture
975
00:26:06,220 --> 00:26:06,253
976
00:26:06,253 --> 00:26:10,587
and when you really can't sleep because your life's in danger if you do sleep,
977
00:26:10,587 --> 00:26:10,620
978
00:26:10,620 --> 00:26:14,087
you really suffer and you really tough it out.
979
00:26:14,087 --> 00:26:14,120
980
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:17,453
Well, how long would you sleep for, then, in an average day?
981
00:26:17,453 --> 00:26:17,487
982
00:26:17,487 --> 00:26:19,453
-Uh, depends. -Down there, anyway, in the southern oceans?
983
00:26:19,453 --> 00:26:19,487
984
00:26:19,487 --> 00:26:21,220
There was a period, very long, during three days,
985
00:26:21,220 --> 00:26:21,253
986
00:26:21,253 --> 00:26:24,987
where I don't think I slept for more than 20 minutes.
987
00:26:24,987 --> 00:26:25,020
988
00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:27,120
-That was horrendous. -It is! It's... God, isn't it?
989
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:27,153
990
00:26:27,153 --> 00:26:30,153
-It's just... And you're 24... (STAMMERS) -29 now.
991
00:26:30,153 --> 00:26:30,187
992
00:26:30,187 --> 00:26:34,087
Twenty-nine, then, it was. Most 29-year-olds are in bed until lunchtime!
993
00:26:34,087 --> 00:26:34,120
994
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:37,953
-(YAWNING) Going clubbing, yeah. -(LAUGHING)
995
00:26:37,953 --> 00:26:37,987
996
00:26:37,987 --> 00:26:41,353
Have you ever got into a position when you thought, "I really want to give up,
997
00:26:41,353 --> 00:26:41,387
998
00:26:41,387 --> 00:26:43,787
-"this is just too much like hard work"? -No.
999
00:26:43,787 --> 00:26:43,820
1000
00:26:43,820 --> 00:26:46,453
-You've never been in that position? -Not at sea.
1001
00:26:46,453 --> 00:26:46,487
1002
00:26:46,487 --> 00:26:48,587
At sea, you know why you're out there.
1003
00:26:48,587 --> 00:26:48,620
1004
00:26:48,620 --> 00:26:51,853
You have to do your absolute best until that finish line.
1005
00:26:51,853 --> 00:26:51,887
1006
00:26:51,887 --> 00:26:53,287
And you have to pace yourself.
1007
00:26:53,287 --> 00:26:53,320
1008
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,920
You have to see, "How long do I have to keep this up for?"
1009
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:55,953
1010
00:26:55,953 --> 00:26:57,353
And you know the one thing that's for sure
1011
00:26:57,353 --> 00:26:57,387
1012
00:26:57,387 --> 00:26:59,587
is when you finish, you'll be absolutely exhausted.
1013
00:26:59,587 --> 00:26:59,620
1014
00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:03,587
You bet! The lovely one I know you're always saying is about
1015
00:27:03,587 --> 00:27:03,620
1016
00:27:03,620 --> 00:27:06,627
-how people sustain you by sending emails, into the... -Hmm.
1017
00:27:06,627 --> 00:27:06,660
1018
00:27:06,660 --> 00:27:08,327
Shit. But they do don't they?
1019
00:27:08,327 --> 00:27:08,360
1020
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,060
They really do, yeah.
1021
00:27:10,060 --> 00:27:10,093
1022
00:27:10,093 --> 00:27:13,460
My favourite one, I'm going to share it with you, was one of the emails we picked out
1023
00:27:13,460 --> 00:27:13,493
1024
00:27:13,493 --> 00:27:14,827
which is, "Dear Ellen..."
1025
00:27:14,827 --> 00:27:14,860
1026
00:27:14,860 --> 00:27:16,660
This was from a bloke in England.
1027
00:27:16,660 --> 00:27:16,693
1028
00:27:16,693 --> 00:27:20,193
"You're such a gutsy girl, that I felt I should be doing something with my life.
1029
00:27:20,193 --> 00:27:20,227
1030
00:27:20,227 --> 00:27:22,460
"So I went into the shed, fixed the lawnmower,
1031
00:27:22,460 --> 00:27:22,493
1032
00:27:22,493 --> 00:27:25,027
"and mowed the lawn for the first time in two years."
1033
00:27:25,027 --> 00:27:25,060
1034
00:27:25,060 --> 00:27:27,560
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
1035
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:27,593
1036
00:27:27,593 --> 00:27:30,093
So you had a profound effect on him, whoever this was.
1037
00:27:30,093 --> 00:27:30,127
1038
00:27:30,127 --> 00:27:31,527
That's cool, yeah!
1039
00:27:31,527 --> 00:27:31,560
1040
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,293
-'Cause I've tried sailing, obviously. -(LAUGHING)
1041
00:27:34,293 --> 00:27:34,327
1042
00:27:34,327 --> 00:27:37,460
Yeah, I have! You know those Hobie Cats you rent on the beach?
1043
00:27:37,460 --> 00:27:37,493
1044
00:27:37,493 --> 00:27:40,960
I had the most monumental crash in one of those. Honestly.
1045
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:40,993
1046
00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:43,560
You're batting along at... How fast do they go, 20 knots?
1047
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:43,593
1048
00:27:43,593 --> 00:27:44,760
Maybe, yeah. Tops.
1049
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:44,793
1050
00:27:44,793 --> 00:27:46,660
Big, 29-foot thing.
1051
00:27:46,660 --> 00:27:46,693
1052
00:27:46,693 --> 00:27:49,793
I had a harness on, so I was leaning over, and one of the hulls dug into the sea.
1053
00:27:49,793 --> 00:27:49,827
1054
00:27:49,827 --> 00:27:52,360
-So you're catapulted off -It stops very quickly, doesn't it?
1055
00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:52,393
1056
00:27:52,393 --> 00:27:53,893
Absolutely stops dead.
1057
00:27:53,893 --> 00:27:53,927
1058
00:27:53,927 --> 00:27:57,460
But I carried on, 17 stone of me, in my harness, got a five-point thing,
1059
00:27:57,460 --> 00:27:57,493
1060
00:27:57,493 --> 00:27:59,827
17 stone stopped by my testicles.
1061
00:27:59,827 --> 00:27:59,860
1062
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:02,193
(LAUGHING)
1063
00:28:02,193 --> 00:28:02,227
1064
00:28:02,227 --> 00:28:04,967
Agh! You don't have that of course!
1065
00:28:04,967 --> 00:28:05,000
1066
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,900
-Have you had any big crashes?
1067
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:06,933
1068
00:28:06,933 --> 00:28:08,600
Bigger than that for example? Yes.
1069
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:08,633
1070
00:28:08,633 --> 00:28:10,433
Where they just stop?
1071
00:28:10,433 --> 00:28:10,467
1072
00:28:10,467 --> 00:28:13,033
-I've done the same thing in a 60-foot trimaran. -(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
1073
00:28:13,033 --> 00:28:13,067
1074
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,033
Where you strapped on to it? Straight over the top.
1075
00:28:15,033 --> 00:28:15,067
1076
00:28:15,067 --> 00:28:16,900
Were you harnessed on? No.
1077
00:28:16,900 --> 00:28:16,933
1078
00:28:16,933 --> 00:28:19,367
We were inside. There's a little cabin, like a little capsule in the middle,
1079
00:28:19,367 --> 00:28:19,400
1080
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,433
where you can basically get out of the weather.
1081
00:28:21,433 --> 00:28:21,467
1082
00:28:21,467 --> 00:28:25,900
There were five of us on the boat, and literally, the boat's steered by rudders
1083
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:25,933
1084
00:28:25,933 --> 00:28:29,867
and one of them kicked up, 'cause it was a kick-up system for security,
1085
00:28:29,867 --> 00:28:29,900
1086
00:28:29,900 --> 00:28:33,667
and when we turned the boat to try to slow the boat down, a wave rolled underneath,
1087
00:28:33,667 --> 00:28:33,700
1088
00:28:33,700 --> 00:28:36,033
went straight under the middle rudder, so that came out of the water.
1089
00:28:36,033 --> 00:28:36,067
1090
00:28:36,067 --> 00:28:37,933
And so we just went straight over the top.
1091
00:28:37,933 --> 00:28:37,967
1092
00:28:37,967 --> 00:28:41,267
One corner of the boat, as you go over, 'cause you kind of go over diagonally,
1093
00:28:41,267 --> 00:28:41,300
1094
00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:44,533
would have been about 75 feet off the water.
1095
00:28:44,533 --> 00:28:44,567
1096
00:28:44,567 --> 00:28:47,500
-And you were inside? -I was inside, so the whole world goes upside down
1097
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:47,533
1098
00:28:47,533 --> 00:28:49,367
and left becomes right and right becomes left...
1099
00:28:49,367 --> 00:28:49,400
1100
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,667
And that hurts when it lands?
1101
00:28:50,667 --> 00:28:50,700
1102
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:52,267
It goes dark as well.
1103
00:28:52,267 --> 00:28:52,300
1104
00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:54,633
-Underwater? -Suddenly it goes dark because you don't have the light
1105
00:28:54,633 --> 00:28:54,667
1106
00:28:54,667 --> 00:28:56,167
coming through any more. Because it's... Yeah.
1107
00:28:56,167 --> 00:28:56,200
1108
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,367
So, you're underwater. That must have hurt like hell when you landed.
1109
00:28:59,367 --> 00:28:59,400
1110
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,033
It's a big thud 'cause it's a huge framework to go over.
1111
00:29:02,033 --> 00:29:02,067
1112
00:29:02,067 --> 00:29:05,407
I'm just staggered at everything you ever do.
1113
00:29:05,407 --> 00:29:05,440
1114
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,473
I'll tell you what it is. I once did this show ages ago about
1115
00:29:08,473 --> 00:29:08,507
1116
00:29:08,507 --> 00:29:10,407
about what it was that makes the human race advance,
1117
00:29:10,407 --> 00:29:10,440
1118
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,073
and you're one of those people who, rather than sitting in the cave going,
1119
00:29:13,073 --> 00:29:13,107
1120
00:29:13,107 --> 00:29:14,573
"Oh, this is quite comfortable,"
1121
00:29:14,573 --> 00:29:14,607
1122
00:29:14,607 --> 00:29:16,673
you actually go, "I wonder what's in the next valley?"
1123
00:29:16,673 --> 00:29:16,707
1124
00:29:16,707 --> 00:29:20,173
Without people like you, the human race simply wouldn't have become what it is.
1125
00:29:20,173 --> 00:29:20,207
1126
00:29:20,207 --> 00:29:22,440
"I can't just sit at home. I can't do that."
1127
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:22,473
1128
00:29:22,473 --> 00:29:24,307
I'm presuming that's what you'd think.
1129
00:29:24,307 --> 00:29:24,340
1130
00:29:24,340 --> 00:29:27,073
I'm not very good at sitting at home. I'm not very good at not doing anything.
1131
00:29:27,073 --> 00:29:27,107
1132
00:29:27,107 --> 00:29:31,773
I'm not very good at holidays. I don't switch off very easily. I need a project.
1133
00:29:31,773 --> 00:29:31,807
1134
00:29:31,807 --> 00:29:35,040
-You see, I'm brilliant at that! -(LAUGHING)
1135
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:35,073
1136
00:29:35,073 --> 00:29:38,107
I am the world champion of watching television.
1137
00:29:38,107 --> 00:29:38,140
1138
00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:41,273
I'd still be sitting in a cave going, "It's all right, this."
1139
00:29:41,273 --> 00:29:41,307
1140
00:29:41,307 --> 00:29:45,073
Not for you, having said "No, I'm going to go and discover South America."
1141
00:29:45,073 --> 00:29:45,107
1142
00:29:45,107 --> 00:29:47,440
And that's why we should all be grateful to people like you
1143
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:47,473
1144
00:29:47,473 --> 00:29:51,173
'cause we would still be eating deer and wearing fur.
1145
00:29:51,173 --> 00:29:51,207
1146
00:29:51,207 --> 00:29:53,740
So, anyway, I want to see how you did on your lap, obviously.
1147
00:29:53,740 --> 00:29:53,773
1148
00:29:53,773 --> 00:29:55,007
How was it out there?
1149
00:29:55,007 --> 00:29:55,040
1150
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,340
Um...
1151
00:29:56,340 --> 00:29:56,373
1152
00:29:56,373 --> 00:29:58,607
The first comment has to be I think I could have done a bit better.
1153
00:29:58,607 --> 00:29:58,640
1154
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,073
-You could have done better? -I was pleading for another lap!
1155
00:30:01,073 --> 00:30:01,107
1156
00:30:01,107 --> 00:30:04,347
At the end I said, "Please can I have another lap?"
1157
00:30:04,347 --> 00:30:04,380
1158
00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:07,047
They said, "No, no. That's it, Ellen." "Please can I have another lap?"
1159
00:30:07,047 --> 00:30:07,080
1160
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,813
Well It was going dark, actually, to be brutally honest with you.
1161
00:30:09,813 --> 00:30:09,847
1162
00:30:09,847 --> 00:30:11,880
It's very difficult to film someone at night.
1163
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:11,913
1164
00:30:11,913 --> 00:30:14,913
-We'd see the lights go by. -That'd be fine. I'd be perfectly happy with that.
1165
00:30:14,913 --> 00:30:14,947
1166
00:30:14,947 --> 00:30:18,947
Just to show you how competitive Ellen is, you did actually ask the producer,
1167
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:19,313
1168
00:30:19,313 --> 00:30:22,513
"Have I got the same amount of petrol in my car that everybody else has?"
1169
00:30:22,513 --> 00:30:22,547
1170
00:30:22,547 --> 00:30:24,080
Yeah, I did. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

I'm telling you, it's a Suzuki Liana, it's got 80 brake horse power,
1173
00:30:26,247 --> 00:30:26,280
1174
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,513
it makes no difference how much petrol is in it, quite frankly.
1175
00:30:29,513 --> 00:30:29,547
1176
00:30:29,547 --> 00:30:32,147
-Anyway, shall we have a look at Ellen's lap? -AUDIENCE: Yeah!

1178
00:30:32,180 --> 00:30:34,747
Yeah. Here we go, let's have a look at this.

CLARKSON: You've not wasted too much of your life actually driving cars, have you?
1181
00:30:41,380 --> 00:30:41,413
1182
00:30:41,413 --> 00:30:43,580
No, I'm at sea for six months of every year, so...
1183
00:30:43,580 --> 00:30:43,613
1184
00:30:43,613 --> 00:30:47,513
CLARKSON: Now I looked back at your car history, and it was completely unspectacular,
1185
00:30:47,513 --> 00:30:47,547
1186
00:30:47,547 --> 00:30:51,380
so where did you learn to drive? That was quick.
1187
00:30:51,380 --> 00:30:51,413
1188
00:30:51,413 --> 00:30:53,213
--ELLEN: I didn't say much in the car, I'm afraid.
1189
00:30:53,213 --> 00:30:53,247
1190
00:30:53,247 --> 00:30:57,647
No, I can imagine you were... You haven't wept yet. That's another...
1191
00:30:57,647 --> 00:30:57,680
1192
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,647
CLARKSON: Have you learnt all this just today from The Stig?
1193
00:31:00,647 --> 00:31:00,680
1194
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,413

Uh, three times on a go-kart track.
1199
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:06,953
1200
00:31:06,953 --> 00:31:09,887

00:31:14,953 --> 00:31:14,987
1206
00:31:14,987 --> 00:31:17,287
Ellen, this is impressive. I've got to be honest.
1207
00:31:17,287 --> 00:31:17,320
1208

Did you lift off there?

CLARKSON: No, no, you're fine! ELLEN: Looks worse from outside the car, actually.

Here we go. Second to last corner, that's beautifully cut.

00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:35,553

1224
00:31:41,620 --> 00:31:44,620

00:31:53,667 --> 00:31:57,233
1230
00:31:57,233 --> 00:31:58,767
So where do you reckon, then?

00:31:58,767 --> 00:31:58,800
1232
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,767
Well, the question is, do I have to put it on there 'cause I'm small,
1233
00:32:00,767 --> 00:32:00,800
1234
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,500
or do you have to put it on there 'cause you're tall?

1236
00:32:02,533 --> 00:32:05,000
Oh, trust me, I have to put it on there. After a lap like that,

00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:05,033

1246

No, no, you're tall enough not to be able to reach it.

1248
00:32:15,407 --> 00:32:19,973
I've no idea. I really don't. All I know is I'd have liked another go, so...

The other thing I must say, that's why we didn't let you do another lap.

00:34:01,913 --> 00:34:01,947
1308
00:34:01,947 --> 00:34:03,947
not as good to drive as a Fiesta,

1310
00:34:03,980 --> 00:34:07,420
and nor is it as pretty as a Peugeot 206.

00:34:14,253 --> 00:34:14,287
1316
00:34:14,287 --> 00:34:17,853
It's the very essence of the chic European super mini.
1317
00:34:17,853 --> 00:34:17,887
1318
00:34:17,887 --> 00:34:21,253
The sort of car that just makes you happy.

00:34:21,253 --> 00:34:21,287
1320
00:34:21,287 --> 00:34:25,287
Well, when I say it makes you happy, what I mean is it made you happy.
1321
00:34:26,687 --> 00:34:26,720
1322
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:29,153
Because this Clio is no more.
1323
00:34:29,153 --> 00:34:29,187
1324
00:34:29,187 --> 00:34:31,420
Yes, there's a new one.
1325
00:34:31,420 --> 00:34:33,320
1326
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,087
And even before I've gone ten meters, I'm inclined to say,
1327
00:34:37,087 --> 00:34:37,120
1328
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,787
crikey! Vive la--difference!

00:34:40,787 --> 00:34:40,820
1330
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:44,753
First, the looks. All the mad lumps and bumps have gone.
1331
00:34:44,753 --> 00:34:44,787
1332
00:34:44,787 --> 00:34:47,553
It's restrained, mature and sophisticated

00:34:47,553 --> 00:34:47,587
1334
00:34:47,587 --> 00:34:51,587
and if you go for wider tyres, you even get wider front wings to match.
1335
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:52,553
1336
00:34:52,553 --> 00:34:56,387
That is haute couture for cars.
1337
00:34:56,387 --> 00:34:56,420
1338
00:34:56,420 --> 00:35:00,420
And it's the same with the interior. The old car was a mass of scratchy plastic
1339
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:01,553
1340
00:35:01,553 --> 00:35:03,487
and you didn't really get very much, but now look at it!
1341
00:35:03,487 --> 00:35:03,520
1342
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,520
It's grown up. It's got funky, interesting and rather smart details.
1343
00:35:08,060 --> 00:35:08,093
1344
00:35:08,093 --> 00:35:12,660
It's almost as if that ginger kid off Rock School--had had a makeover.
1345
00:35:12,660 --> 00:35:12,693
1346
00:35:12,693 --> 00:35:16,227
On top of that, you get a wide selection of petrol and diesel engines
1347
00:35:16,227 --> 00:35:16,260
1348
00:35:16,260 --> 00:35:20,260
and it's yours for between £9,000 and £15,000.
1349
00:35:20,260 --> 00:35:20,293
1350
00:35:20,293 --> 00:35:24,360
Or, on average, just £200 more than the old model.
1351
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,060
1352
00:35:27,060 --> 00:35:31,627
And, finally, this car now has the largest interior in its class.
1353
00:35:31,627 --> 00:35:33,327
1354
00:35:33,327 --> 00:35:35,560
I think by now you've probably got the point.
1355
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:35,593
1356
00:35:35,593 --> 00:35:39,593
The new Clio is altogether more refined and accomplished than its predecessor was.
1357
00:35:41,193 --> 00:35:41,227
1358
00:35:41,227 --> 00:35:44,993
It's the sort of car that the French hope will make up for their dismal showing
1359
00:35:44,993 --> 00:35:45,027
1360
00:35:45,027 --> 00:35:47,427

00:35:47,427 --> 00:35:48,593

Doubtless one day you'll tell us if that's true or not.

00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:51,593
1364
00:35:51,593 --> 00:35:53,993
But now to more pressing matters.
1365
00:35:53,993 --> 00:35:54,027
1366
00:35:54,027 --> 00:35:58,027
We're anxious to find out if the new Clio can still do what the old one did so well.
1367
00:35:59,827 --> 00:35:59,860
1368
00:35:59,860 --> 00:36:02,893
That is, put a smile on your face.
1369
00:36:02,893 --> 00:36:02,927
1370
00:36:02,927 --> 00:36:06,027
Which is why we're in Portugal.
1371
00:36:06,027 --> 00:36:06,060
1372
00:36:06,060 --> 00:36:10,060
For centuries, the Portuguese have struck fear into the hearts of sardines everywhere.
1373
00:36:11,233 --> 00:36:11,267
1374
00:36:11,267 --> 00:36:13,467
But now it's payback time.
1375
00:36:13,467 --> 00:36:13,500
1376
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:17,400
Because we're going to cause a bit of mayhem on the streets of Lisbon.
1377
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,867
1378
00:36:19,867 --> 00:36:21,333
This is Gee Atherton.
1379
00:36:21,333 --> 00:36:21,367
1380
00:36:21,367 --> 00:36:25,967
He's 20 years old and he's one of the world's top downhill bike racers.
1381
00:36:25,967 --> 00:36:26,000
1382
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,367
His speciality is the urban race,
1383
00:36:28,367 --> 00:36:28,400
1384
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,767
which involves blasting down narrow streets and alleyways at break-neck speed.
1385
00:36:32,767 --> 00:36:32,800
1386
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,700
Something that requires great skill and agility.
1387
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:37,200
1388
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,067
So here's the challenge.
1389
00:36:39,067 --> 00:36:39,100
1390
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:43,867
To see if the new Clio can do the urban hustle as well as the old one,
1391
00:36:43,867 --> 00:36:43,900
1392
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:45,467
I'm going to take him on.
1393
00:36:45,467 --> 00:36:46,800
1394
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,033
And here's how it's going to work.
1395
00:36:49,033 --> 00:36:49,067
1396
00:36:49,067 --> 00:36:53,133
Car and bicycle start up here at the Pasa del Sardino.
1397
00:36:53,133 --> 00:36:53,167
1398
00:36:53,167 --> 00:36:57,300
Then we make our way down through the winding streets and alleyways to the

00:36:59,667 --> 00:36:59,700
1402
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:03,633
His route is four kilometres. Mine's less, at three,
1403
00:37:03,633 --> 00:37:03,667
1404
00:37:03,667 --> 00:37:06,600
but he can go places I can't, so that's fair.
1405
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:06,633
1406
00:37:06,633 --> 00:37:10,633
And just to be on the safe side, I've also switched to the bigger 1.6 petrol engine.
1407
00:37:12,306 --> 00:37:12,340
1408
00:37:12,340 --> 00:37:16,440
So, all that's left is to psyche out Darth Vader.

Nine? My mountain bike's got 21.

00:41:28,980 --> 00:41:32,980
1534
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,880
CLARKSON: To make matters worse, it had become obvious that the lap of Castle Combe
1535
00:41:38,113 --> 00:41:38,147
1536
00:41:38,147 --> 00:41:40,613
had hurt my engine badly.
1537
00:41:40,613 --> 00:41:40,647
1538
00:41:40,647 --> 00:41:42,247
(ENGINE RATTLING)
1539
00:41:42,247 --> 00:41:42,280
1540
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,513
Now, this is a half-French, half-Italian car. That's a worry.
1541
00:41:46,513 --> 00:41:46,547
1542
00:41:46,547 --> 00:41:50,547
See, when the French and the Italians come together to do cooking, that's great.
1543
00:41:51,547 --> 00:41:51,580
1544
00:41:51,580 --> 00:41:55,313
But when they come together to make a car, run.
1545
00:41:55,313 --> 00:41:55,347
1546
00:41:55,347 --> 00:41:57,413
Run for your life.
1547
00:41:57,413 --> 00:41:57,447
1548
00:41:57,447 --> 00:42:01,447
Now, I'm following Jeremy in his Maserati. I'm doing 48 miles an hour,
1549
00:42:03,380 --> 00:42:03,413
1550
00:42:03,413 --> 00:42:07,787
and I get the distinct impression that he's going flat out.
1551
00:42:07,787 --> 00:42:09,520
1552
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,987
Look at that! Overtaken. (LAUGHING)
1553
00:42:12,987 --> 00:42:16,653
1554
00:42:16,653 --> 00:42:20,653
CLARKSON: For our next challenge, we had to go to a service centre in Chippenham.
1555
00:42:21,487 --> 00:42:21,520
1556
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,053
No, don't do that! Yeah, yeah. That'll help.
1557
00:42:24,053 --> 00:42:24,087
1558
00:42:24,087 --> 00:42:25,987
Right. Challenge, I think.
1559
00:42:25,987 --> 00:42:26,020
1560
00:42:26,020 --> 00:42:27,720
It's just a bit tappety.
1561
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:27,753
1562
00:42:27,753 --> 00:42:31,820
-Yeah, from both ends. -In the way that a dumper truck is.
1563
00:42:31,820 --> 00:42:31,853
1564
00:42:31,853 --> 00:42:33,253
Right...
1565
00:42:33,253 --> 00:42:33,287
1566
00:42:33,287 --> 00:42:35,053
I'm stuck! (GROANING)
1567
00:42:35,053 --> 00:42:35,087
1568
00:42:35,087 --> 00:42:39,087
You are now in a race. With no outside help, each of you must change the oil in
1569
00:42:40,453 --> 00:42:40,487
1570
00:42:40,487 --> 00:42:43,920
-your car, and all the spark plugs. -Oh, no.
1571
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:43,953
1572
00:42:43,953 --> 00:42:47,953
Actually, come to think of it, you've got a V6, we've got V8s.
1573
00:42:48,820 --> 00:42:48,853
1574
00:42:48,853 --> 00:42:50,787
That's a good point. I've only got 6 spark plugs.
1575
00:42:50,787 --> 00:42:50,820
1576
00:42:50,820 --> 00:42:53,453
But I've never held a spanner in my life.
1577
00:42:53,453 --> 00:42:53,487
1578
00:42:53,487 --> 00:42:55,420
Well, he has. But on, like, old British motors...
1579
00:42:55,420 --> 00:42:55,453
1580
00:42:55,453 --> 00:42:57,753
All I have to do now,
1581
00:42:57,753 --> 00:42:57,787
1582
00:42:57,787 --> 00:43:01,787
is demonstrate to you two why I'm a doctor of engineering, twice.
1583
00:43:02,253 --> 00:43:02,287
1584
00:43:02,287 --> 00:43:05,187
HAMMOND: The good doctor then started work on his spark plugs
1585
00:43:05,187 --> 00:43:05,220
1586
00:43:05,220 --> 00:43:09,960
rather than changing his oil, which was actually quite dim.
1587
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:09,993
1588
00:43:09,993 --> 00:43:12,793
Well, no. You'll need it to be hot for the oil to drain, 'cause it's thick.
1589
00:43:12,793 --> 00:43:12,827
1590
00:43:12,827 --> 00:43:15,260
Otherwise you get big lumpy bits, in your case, full of metal,
1591
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:15,293
1592
00:43:15,293 --> 00:43:16,660
hanging around at the bottom of your engine.
1593
00:43:16,660 --> 00:43:16,693
1594
00:43:16,693 --> 00:43:20,527
--HAMMOND: Oddly, James began by doing housework.
1595
00:43:20,527 --> 00:43:20,560
1596
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,260
The bonnet is eating my head.
1597
00:43:24,260 --> 00:43:24,293
1598
00:43:24,293 --> 00:43:28,293
HAMMOND: So the good doctor came up with an engineering solution.
1599
00:43:28,293 --> 00:43:31,860
1600
00:43:31,860 --> 00:43:35,760
Meanwhile, James had got going and got stuck.
1601
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:35,793
1602
00:43:35,793 --> 00:43:38,893
I don't see how I'm going to do that.
1603
00:43:38,893 --> 00:43:38,927
1604
00:43:38,927 --> 00:43:41,693

1605
00:43:41,693 --> 00:43:41,727

00:43:41,727 --> 00:43:43,860
Come on! Come on!
1607
00:43:43,860 --> 00:43:43,893
1608
00:43:43,893 --> 00:43:47,627

1610
00:43:47,660 --> 00:43:50,727
--HAMMOND: Their problem was inaccessible spark plugs.

00:43:50,727 --> 00:43:52,793
1612
00:43:52,793 --> 00:43:55,027
Not something that was troubling me.
1613
00:43:55,027 --> 00:43:56,027
1614
00:43:56,027 --> 00:43:58,193

I don't want to win by too much!
1617
00:44:00,793 --> 00:44:00,827
1618
00:44:00,827 --> 00:44:04,827
Oh, I can't get at this one. Oh, look, it's obscured by this lead.
1619
00:44:06,893 --> 00:44:06,927
1620
00:44:06,927 --> 00:44:10,927
You've got mechanics' butt cheek. Do you know that?
1621
00:44:11,167 --> 00:44:11,200
1622
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,200
HAMMOND: After a brisk 50 minutes, Dr Clarkson had finished changing his plugs.
1623
00:44:16,267 --> 00:44:17,067
1624
00:44:17,067 --> 00:44:19,867
Yes! All six.

1626
00:44:19,900 --> 00:44:22,967

1658
00:45:17,273 --> 00:45:20,707

1666
00:45:30,673 --> 00:45:34,707

Would you like me to keep a dancing girl warm for you?
1917
00:53:23,673 --> 00:53:23,707
1918
00:53:23,707 --> 00:53:25,507
No, I'd like you to give me a lift.
1919
00:53:25,507 --> 00:53:25,540
1920
00:53:25,540 --> 00:53:27,973
You know the rules, mate. Sorry.
1921
00:53:27,973 --> 00:53:29,007
1922
00:53:29,007 --> 00:53:31,073
Can't believe it.
1923
00:53:31,073 --> 00:53:31,107
1924
00:53:31,107 --> 00:53:35,873

1925
00:53:35,873 --> 00:53:35,907

00:53:38,273 --> 00:53:38,307
1928
00:53:38,307 --> 00:53:41,273
The car that had started the day on the back of a tow-truck,
1929
00:53:41,273 --> 00:53:41,307
1930
00:53:41,307 --> 00:53:45,373
the car that had taken so much stick from Clarkson and Hammond,
1931
00:53:45,373 --> 00:53:45,407
1932
00:53:45,407 --> 00:53:48,207
was the only one left running.
1933
00:53:48,207 --> 00:53:48,240
1934
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:51,940
All I need is enough electricity and enough petrol
1935
00:53:51,940 --> 00:53:51,973
1936
00:53:51,973 --> 00:53:55,540

00:53:55,540 --> 00:53:57,007

00:53:57,007 --> 00:54:01,507
Yes, I was just seven miles from gentleman's club heaven.

00:54:01,507 --> 00:54:05,507
1940
00:54:06,173 --> 00:54:09,007
It's smoking like hell.

00:54:09,007 --> 00:54:09,040
1942
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,880
Just keep going, car. I'll let you come in with me.
1943
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:12,780
1944
00:54:12,780 --> 00:54:15,380
But then, just outside Slough.

(HONKING) There's some news coming in
1953
00:54:24,747 --> 00:54:24,780
1954
00:54:24,780 --> 00:54:27,447
of some huge tailbacks on the A4, just to the east of...
1955
00:54:27,447 --> 00:54:27,480
1956
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,713
--MAY: And guess what was causing it.

00:54:29,713 --> 00:54:33,713
1958
00:54:37,147 --> 00:54:39,680
Yep, I was out as well.
1959
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,680

1962
00:54:49,813 --> 00:54:50,947
So...
1963
00:54:50,947 --> 00:54:51,880
1964
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,613
So, in the end...

00:54:53,613 --> 00:54:54,913
1966
00:54:54,913 --> 00:54:58,180
In the end, then, your car broke down as well.
1967
00:54:58,180 --> 00:54:58,213
1968
00:54:58,213 --> 00:55:01,313
Yes, it did, and that means, essentially, in case you missed it,
1969
00:55:01,313 --> 00:55:01,347
1970
00:55:01,347 --> 00:55:05,347
none of our £10,000 supercars could get us to a lap-dancing bar in Slough.

00:55:06,847 --> 00:55:06,880
1972
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:10,953
No, I must say, I was hoping to end the evening in a rather different sort of hedge,
1973
00:55:10,953 --> 00:55:10,987
1974
00:55:10,987 --> 00:55:13,920
but there we are.
1975
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:13,953
1976
00:55:13,953 --> 00:55:17,953
I have to say, great respect. Your engine explosion was absolutely spectacular.
1977
00:55:18,753 --> 00:55:18,787
1978
00:55:18,787 --> 00:55:21,820
You're not joking. I actually collected the pieces off the road.

00:55:21,820 --> 00:55:21,853
1980
00:55:21,853 --> 00:55:24,487
Look at this, okay? These are bits of the crank case

00:55:24,487 --> 00:55:24,520
1982
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,687
which blew a hole in the side of the engine.

00:55:26,687 --> 00:55:26,720
1984
00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:30,153
And look. That, my big end ended up in a bucket.
1985
00:55:30,153 --> 00:55:30,187
1986
00:55:30,187 --> 00:55:34,353
-Oh! That's not what you want. -It just showered your car, didn't it?

-Yup. So, therefore this is... -This is useless. As useless as our cars, in fact.

1998
00:55:51,853 --> 00:55:55,853
Absolutely. But no matter. We did end up with a Top Gear--top tip, okay?

2000
00:55:57,220 --> 00:56:01,353
Yes, you can buy a supercar for less than £10,000
