﻿1
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,390
Tonight, I get even more shouty.

2
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,830
Naughty!

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,990
Matt has a serious word.

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,750
You remember to push the button.

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,880
And Eddie Jordan doesn't
speak for over a second.

6
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,070
Hello, welcome to Top Gear.

7
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,390
I need to apologise for the lack
of consciousness of my colleague,

8
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,350
Chris Evans, here. You see,
he had to be heavily sedated

9
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,550
following the making
of tonight's first film,

10
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,790
during which, even by his standards,
he got a little over excited.

11
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,150
Come on, buddy, come on.

12
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,910
- Whoo...
- There we go.

13
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,660
He'll be all right in about
eight and a half minutes.

14
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,030
The McLaren F1

15
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,160
landed somewhere from outer space in 1992.

16
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,790
A study in extreme performance
with ground-breaking carbon fibre

17
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,640
construction, enhanced by
magnesium and 24-carat gold.

18
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,560
Wow.

19
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,350
Oh-ho-ho!

20
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,750
The results were breathtaking,

21
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,430
the F1's top speed, more than 240mph,

22
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,950
which meant, for a dozen
years, it stood alone

23
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,030
as the world's fastest car.

24
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,750
McLaren, though, didn't stop there.

25
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,670
In 1995, they entered the
F1 GTR in the infamous

26
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,270
Le Mans 24-hour endurance race.

27
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,640
First time out, it won!

28
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,230
And then, STILL not
satisfied, they created this,

29
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,030
lighter, and with more downforce,
an even purer competition version,

30
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,870
and christened it the McLaren F1 Longtail.

31
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,470
Wow-ow!

32
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,550
It's so powerful!

33
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,600
It's so naughty!

34
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,640
It's so loud!

35
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:42,310
McLaren only built ten, which makes
ownership a pretty exclusive club.

36
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,190
Cost to join -- £10 million.

37
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,640
That's what this car is worth.

38
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,080
Which is why, although
this car is road-legal...

39
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:04,310
.. I'm perfectly fine driving on our
very friendly, deserted airfield.

40
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,080
Aaaah!

41
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,920
This car is ridiculous!

42
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,190
Oh, my God!

43
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Oh, my God!

44
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,310
The Longtail name came to represent
McLaren at its most extreme,

45
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,710
and even though they've built plenty
of cars since, none of them has been

46
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,950
considered outrageous enough to
pick up where the original left off.

47
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,390
Until now.

48
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,990
This is the McLaren 675LT.

49
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,310
Yes, once again, that's LT for Longtail.

50
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,510
And whilst this one's actually a road car,

51
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,630
as opposed to an out-and-out race car,

52
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,720
it's still really, really, really fast.

53
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,190
Watch. Here I am at standstill.

54
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,830
0 -- 60 in 2.8 seconds,

55
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,990
0 -- 100 in 5 seconds.

56
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,390
That's a ban,

57
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,630
that's six months in prison,

58
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,910
18 months in prison,

59
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,550
never see your kids again!

60
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,750
The 675LT borrows from
McLaren's 650S supercar.

61
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,840
Like its twin-turbo 3.8
litre V8 engine, for example.

62
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,190
That said, half its innards
have been upgraded,

63
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,590
which means brake
horsepower has risen to 666,

64
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,640
the number of the beast.

65
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,120
Brakes!

66
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,960
That's the fastest I've
ever been in a car. Oh!

67
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,510
Pfff...

68
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,670
So plenty of added speed, then.

69
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,560
But the 675 is also about
what's been taken away.

70
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,350
First of all, this car is
an incredible 100kg lighter

71
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,590
than its 650 sibling.

72
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,910
The carbon-fibre seats save 15kg.

73
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,230
A millimetre of glass has
been shaved off the windscreen,

74
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:34,150
and that saves 3kg.

75
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,750
The wheels are lighter than you'll
find on its big brother, the P1.

76
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,470
And my favourite thing of all, even
the lacquer that's coated on the

77
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,510
carbon fibre, is now
satin instead of gloss,

78
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,000
saving a crucial 50g.

79
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,510
Is all this bothersome
forensic nipping and tucking,

80
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,160
and shaving and fiddling, really worth it?

81
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:01,800
Um, yeah!

82
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,270
Enter Chicago at 100mph,
slow it right down.

83
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,070
Try and get it round, all the
way round, can we do that?

84
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,280
Yes, we... can.

85
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,590
Hammerhead has never been more fun.

86
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,470
Oh, whoa!

87
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,520
Oh-ho-ho!

88
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,190
OK, it's time to admit though,

89
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,830
the 675LT does have a huge bunch of
tricks up its sleeve which allow you

90
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,190
to drive like a hero, without wiping
yourself across a Surrey airfield.

91
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,390
Of course, you can turn
off all the hero buttons,

92
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,190
in which case you'd actually
have to be a hero, which I'm not.

93
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,150
But fortunately, I do have one with me.

94
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,030
All right, Chris? Do you
fancy swapping places?

95
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,620
Cos I really want to swap places.

96
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,310
With all the driving aids
turned off, of course,

97
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,270
Jenson told me he needed to
warm the tyres up... a bit.

98
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,430
- What I really love
about this car... - Yeah?

99
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,990
Is the finish here. This Alcantara
here, I mean, you just don't

100
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,840
get that, do you, in your family wagon?

101
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,680
And the climate control system
here, have a little touch on that.

102
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,320
I tell you what, this radio is new.

103
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,110
A new navigation system, and,
oh, my God, it works well.

104
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,470
Right, here is now smoke IN the car.

105
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,990
You see, I don't get to do this.

106
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,030
I've got a serious job,
I'm having amazing fun.

107
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,230
'To get us back on track, I decided
to ask Jenson a sensible question.'

108
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,990
How does it compare to the P1?

109
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,230
Because they say it's
stolen a lot from the P1.

110
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,110
Can you feel the P1 in it?

111
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,830
Yeah. I have a P1 at home,

112
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,790
and I don't obviously drive on
the road quick, but you can feel

113
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,150
the stiffness in here, and
it's just really on the burn.

114
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,150
The front track is a lot wider,
so you've got that turn-in,

115
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,070
which most road cars miss.

116
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,350
Most road cars miss that initial turn-in.

117
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,950
And it feels like a race car.

118
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,590
- And the worst bit is, I've got a 650S.
- I know, I know!

119
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,390
- I've got a P1. - I know.
- I haven't got one of these!

120
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,830
- And they've all sold out.
- Yeah!

121
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,870
That's why this day is
very special for me,

122
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,990
because it's the first
time I've driven this car

123
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,390
and it'll probably be the
last time I drive it, as well.

124
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,430
You can have this one,
nobody's going to want it

125
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,870
- after you!
- I know, I don't want this one!

126
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,590
Now, this is not easy, be careful
here, because you don't want

127
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,140
to mess it up, you don't
want to go on the GRASS!

128
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:04,760
Well, I've seen it all.

129
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,910
The 675LT then really does
live up to the Longtail name.

130
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,110
And just like the amazing F1,

131
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,630
where this whole story started,

132
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:20,830
it takes McLaren's trademark
obsession with detail,

133
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,030
and sprinkles it with just enough
madness to become unforgettable.

134
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,680
The result? Brilliant,
maybe even legendary.

135
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,880
Hey, look who's back.

136
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,430
Hiya!

137
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,470
By the way, Matt, thank you for the grapes

138
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,630
and thank you for looking after
me. You're a very nice person.

139
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:58,230
Aw, that's nice, yeah, here.
OK. This car, £260,000.

140
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,590
You love this thing, right?

141
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,590
I love this thing, but more
importantly, Jenson Button loves it

142
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,390
and he said, off camera afterwards,

143
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,790
- he said this may be better
than the P1. - Wow, really?

144
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,830
- Yeah. - OK, back to you for a
second. Don't you own one of these?

145
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,070
- Yes. - So doesn't
that make you biased?

146
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,070
- No.
- Chris...

147
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,550
OK, yes, of course, it might
do a bit, but I did buy it after

148
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,710
we made the film and apparently,
within the rules, that's allowed.

149
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,030
OK, but I thought you told
me they were all sold out.

150
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,070
No, they WERE all sold out, but
one bloke paid his deposit,

151
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,870
cancelled his order, and
I stepped in. Honestly!

152
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,430
Uh-huh. Does Jenson know that?

153
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,830
Well, he does now. Anyway,
that's not the point.

154
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,070
So, how fast does this
car go round our lap?

155
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,430
It's time to hand it over
to our tame racing driver!

156
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,190
Some say he's had a fly
in his helmet since 2007,

157
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,720
but he likes the company, and
that he dreams in Portuguese.

158
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,830
All we know is he's called...

159
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,840
The Stig!

160
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:07,270
So, here we go. Launch control off
the line, the 675LT 666 horsepower,

161
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,230
the most powerful McLaren
ever to lap our track,

162
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,110
right into the first corner
there, and look how hard Stig's

163
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,830
working the superfast steering
to keep the 675 under control.

164
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,830
Stig looking positively
carefree this week,

165
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,400
as he heads through Chicago and
puts down the power for Hammerhead.

166
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,710
The 675's massive airbrake doing
its thing, rear-wheel drive,

167
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,030
of course, only 1,300 kilos,
after all that weight shaving.

168
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,270
Can Stig tame the mighty McLaren?

169
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,120
Of course he can!

170
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,750
Heading into the Follow Through now,
Stig clearly in a jaunty mood today.

171
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,430
Up through that McLaren
twin-clutch gearbox.

172
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,950
Here comes the tyre wall.

173
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,630
And that looks seriously fast.

174
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:55,630
Second to last, the 675 wriggling
around there, underbraking.

175
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:57,670
Come on, Stiggy, bring it home.

176
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,660
Into the last corner and across the line!

177
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,110
So...

178
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,310
That did look very, very quick.

179
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,910
We have had a McLaren around the
track before, the McLaren MP4-12C.

180
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,750
A much pilloried car, but did OK. 116.2.

181
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,630
How about this, though?

182
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:20,870
The McLaren 675 LT, with
the Stig at the wheel...

183
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,110
- 113...
- Ooh...

184
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,590
.. point 7 -- it's a brand-new record!

185
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,270
Well done! Well done, McLaren!

186
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,860
Bring on the P1! We want the P1!

187
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:38,350
OK, OK, right on.

188
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,070
Ladies and gentlemen, boys
and girls, fish and chips.

189
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,150
SUV time. It's our first
ever group road test on tour,

190
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,430
starring the much
anticipated Jaguar F-Pace.

191
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,510
- Ooh...
- Yeah, but first a warning.

192
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:55,030
The following film does not
feature flash photography,

193
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,190
nor does it contain
scenes of an adult nature.

194
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,070
However, it does feature
large chunks of Top Gear's

195
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,320
weird uncle, Eddie Jordan.

196
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,040
I can't understand a word he says.

197
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,360
South Africa.

198
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,230
Home to some of the world's
most diverse wildlife,

199
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,310
spectacular scenery

200
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,960
and an environment alien to
most modern off-roaders...

201
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,920
.. off road.

202
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,310
So we decided to start our test
in the SUV's real natural habitat,

203
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,000
the city.

204
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,160
So, this is it, Top Gear's first
group test on tour, starring...

205
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,510
.. the brand-new Jaguar F-Pace.

206
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:47,990
Look at that car.

207
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,790
Yeah, it is good-looking. It's
huge, but it's good-looking.

208
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,350
Yeah, but I've gotta say Jag doing
SUVs feels a little awkward to me.

209
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,070
That's what they said
when Porsche started SUVs,

210
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,950
in particular, your Porsche Macan.

211
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,190
Let's talk about your car.

212
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,950
This is the GLC.

213
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,750
It's all brand-new, it's a
proper car, luxurious, stylish.

214
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,430
Remember, it's from the
same guys who build the best

215
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,350
Formula One car on this planet.

216
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,110
- Let's talk power. - Let's talk
power. - I've got a 3-litre diesel V6.

217
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,590
I have a 3-litre diesel V6.

218
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,590
I have a 4-cylinder 2.1-litre diesel.

219
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,550
Wah-wah-wah...

220
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,990
'Whilst Eddie attempted to
defend his lack of power,

221
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,380
'Matt received a challenge.'

222
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,830
OK, challenge. "Welcome to
Durban, one metre above sea level.

223
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:43,150
"You and your cars will
climb 2,872 vertical metres

224
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,550
"to the highest pub in Africa, where
tomorrow night, it's music night.

225
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,280
"It is your job to deliver the
music, which will arrive now."

226
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,110
And it would be an eclectic
line-up, to say the least.

227
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,710
Joining chauffeur Eddie,
from Scotland and from Texas,

228
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,640
Sharleen Spiteri.

229
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,950
It's herself! Ah-ha-ha!

230
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,590
- Hey! - He's going to hate it when
he sees that he walks like that.

231
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,790
'With chauffeur Chris
and the Jaguar F-Pace,

232
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,870
'his old pal and blues
legend, Seasick Steve.'

233
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,390
The winner, the winner!

234
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,750
- 'And riding with me in
the Porsche...' - Whoohoo!

235
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,030
'.. chart-topping British
rapper Tinie Tempah.'

236
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,790
All right, let's kick some butt.

237
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,350
'Introductions over, and with
the music now onboard...'

238
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,630
- Here we go.
- '.. it was time to hit the road.'

239
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,190
This is what a winning team
looks like. Take a look.

240
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,440
It's beautiful. Let's go.

241
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,270
Oh, this thing drives pretty nice.

242
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,230
That Porsche can definitely
move. Can we reel them in?

243
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,020
We'll show them.

244
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,840
However, just a few minutes into
our journey through urban Durban...

245
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,860
.. another challenge arrived.

246
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:03,950
"OK, guys, you will now assess the
high-speed handling of your cars.

247
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,590
"Ahead you will find an urban circuit,

248
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,630
"around which you will race."

249
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,190
Three laps of a street circuit,
complete with roundabouts,

250
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,320
pavements and nowhere safe to crash.

251
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,710
With Sharleen, Steve and
Tinie on stopwatch duty,

252
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,680
we lined up for a staggered start.

253
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,150
You ready, Chris?

254
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,510
Three, two, one...

255
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,670
go!

256
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,870
Come on.

257
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,670
'Eddie, though, had his
own take on the rules.

258
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,870
Three...

259
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,830
That was SO cheating!

260
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,960
Three, two, one, go!

261
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,430
OK, Porsche, here we go, darling.

262
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,750
- We'd never cheat. - No!
- We would NEVER cheat.

263
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,470
"Three..." He never got to two, man.

264
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,030
Come on now!

265
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,470
First roundabout, first chicane.

266
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,110
'The powerful F-Pace might
be the largest crossover here,

267
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,310
'but because it's made
from lightweight aluminium,

268
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:08,100
'it corners like a much smaller car.'

269
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,710
Keep it tight, keep it tight,
keep it tight, keep it tight.

270
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,830
Back down the road, Eddie was
in full vintage racer mode...

271
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,790
- Oh, oh...
- Oh, yeah, oh, yeah!

272
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,150
Oh, yeah!

273
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,720
.. braking late and carrying
impressive speed through the bends.

274
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,630
God, Eddie's quick through the corners.

275
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,280
But what about his little problem?

276
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,470
His little engine.

277
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,350
On the straights, his Merc
simply didn't have enough oomph,

278
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,590
and to make matters worse, its
nine-speed transmission was

279
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,080
spending more time changing gear
than your average supermodel.

280
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,070
LeBlanc was closing in.

281
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,150
I see you, Eddie.

282
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,750
My God, Matt's quick.

283
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,790
'Plus, the Porsche is the only
car here with a super speedy

284
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,270
'double-clutch transmission,

285
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,990
'so it spends less time shifting gears...

286
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,310
'and more time doing this.'

287
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,230
I can see Jordan and I can see LeBlanc.

288
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,230
We could be on for an overtake here.

289
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,280
Oh, my God, he's right
behind him! Come on!

290
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,310
With my Jag holding its
own up front, just about,

291
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:34,990
Eddie was doing all he could to
shake the Porsche off his tail.

292
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,510
You sneaky, little... Irishman.

293
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,030
- Oh, [BLEEP], here they come.
- Oh, God!

294
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,270
Come on, Chris!

295
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,150
- Yes!
- Whoo!

296
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,510
Oh, please, don't let
it be Matt. No, no...

297
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,300
Matt's in front!

298
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,760
No! No way!

299
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,270
So, with Eddie stone-cold last,

300
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,430
was it me or Matt who'd
set the fastest time?

301
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,030
What was my time, what was my time?

302
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,270
Our time, your time -- 2.31.

303
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,630
- 2.31. - 2.31. Right, that's the
time to beat. What have we got?

304
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,230
Aw, no, look at this.

305
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,360
2.24, whoa!

306
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:16,950
Nice! All right, all right, all right.

307
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,790
Well done.

308
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,390
Grudgingly, we had to concede Matt's
Porsche was quickest on tarmac.

309
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,390
But frankly, who cared,

310
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,830
as we were leaving Durban behind
and heading for the great outdoors?

311
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,750
And, feeling generous, we let
the musos take over the driving,

312
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,430
as well as the stereo.

313
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,280
New single, guys!

314
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,040
Hey, that's not fair.

315
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,240
I'm not putting on a Texas album.

316
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,470
As we munched up the miles in convoy,

317
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,910
through funky towns and colourful
villages, the roads opened up,

318
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,710
as did the horizon.

319
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,510
And behind the wheel, Steve
was falling for the Jag.

320
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,910
It is a lovely car to drive.

321
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,510
The seats are nice. I like that.

322
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,150
- I feel fancy.
- Do you?

323
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,360
Yeah, and I never feel fancy, hardly.

324
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,190
As we left civilisation behind,
the drive just got better

325
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,510
and better and better.

326
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,030
Nice road!

327
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:29,990
This is beautiful.

328
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,630
Oh, how beautiful is this?

329
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,720
And then, just like that, our
off-road adventure began.

330
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,630
Look at it out there.

331
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,350
No, look... No, no! I'll look at the view.

332
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,800
- Wow, look at that view over there.
- No, Steve, look at the hairpin bend!

333
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,510
Because they'd lost the road race,
we decided Eddie and Sharleen

334
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,790
should sit at the back of
the pack, eating our dust.

335
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,390
Hi, guys, we're having a ball,

336
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,640
we're just getting pummelled
with all your rocks back here.

337
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,550
Oh, Jesus, did you see that?

338
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,390
Sharleen, you and Eddie are going
to have to re-paint that Mercedes

339
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,750
when this is over.

340
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,230
'Meanwhile, we were up
front with clean air

341
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,820
'and a clear view to play with.'

342
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,470
Nice.

343
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,590
'And Tinie was having fun.'

344
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,230
Whoohoo!

345
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,150
- Whoaaa!
- Oh, man alive!

346
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,390
Whoo!

347
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,670
'Luckily, before Tinie got us
too acquainted with the scenery,

348
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,860
'Chris received a text.'

349
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,670
"You will now test the off-road stability

350
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,430
"of your sporting crossovers. Up
ahead, you will find a dirt track.

351
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,950
"You must complete the climb within
a minimum time of three minutes,

352
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,430
"carrying two of South Africa's
famous Sundowner cocktails."

353
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:15,070
"The couple with the most drink
left in their glasses at the end

354
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:17,510
"gets first pick of
overnight accommodation."

355
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,510
So, good luck, everyone.
Right, let's get the cocktails.

356
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,550
- No way. - Come on, we've
gotta try and win something.

357
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,110
Wow.

358
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,270
- Wowee. - I think there'll be
more ON us than in those glasses.

359
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,720
- Cheers. - I'll get the next
one, yeah? - Yeah, yeah, come on.

360
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,870
Oh, my God, no wonder they'd
covered everything in plastic.

361
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,350
Easy now...

362
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,150
Oh, man!

363
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,310
Oh, God, this is going to be crazy.

364
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,100
I'm already wet!

365
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,180
You got it?

366
00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:58,710
Ooh, nice.

367
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,670
'We had spotted the
protective plastic too,

368
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,120
'which gave Sharleen an idea.'

369
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,180
Don't let them see that.

370
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,670
- Oh, [BLEEP], - my balls. - Oi!

371
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,640
My balls are wet.

372
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,670
'So, having won the road race,

373
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,150
'we were the first to
tackle the two-mile track.'

374
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,040
.. two, one, go!

375
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,420
Easy, Tinie.

376
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,150
'And it's fair to say,

377
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,800
'we weren't going to break
any land speed records.'

378
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,830
That is so slow.

379
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,270
Three-minute minimum, remember.
There's a three-minute minimum.

380
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,470
I think you're going to
have to go faster than that.

381
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,120
'So, he did.'

382
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,910
I'm in the zone, I'm in the
z... Oh! I'm in the zone.

383
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,200
'Back at the start, Chris and Steve
set off with a thirst for victory.'

384
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,030
- Yeah, good. Good so far.
- Ooh, this is the hard part.

385
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,230
Oh!

386
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,510
Now we're doing good.

387
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,510
Hit the jackpot there,
Steve, gotta tell you.

388
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,560
- If we don't win this,
seriously... - Go!

389
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:14,700
- Take it steady.
- I'm OK.

390
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,390
Doing awesome, man.

391
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,510
- Oh, Jesus!
- Ohhh!

392
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,630
Did I get you? I'm sorry.
Those are cashmere pants?

393
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,030
Those are nice pants.

394
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,990
Tell you what, the Jag's
all right, isn't it?

395
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,310
Man, you're rocking it.
This car's fair smooth.

396
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:37,230
Look at it. I'm relaxed now.

397
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,510
Steve, this is good driving... Waaay!

398
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,760
Oh, there's a little bit.

399
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,030
Brilliant.

400
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,750
'Soon, the finish was in sight.'

401
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,470
And we did it.

402
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,230
And with all of us
across the line in time,

403
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,990
as we pulled up for the judging,
the pressure was overwhelming.

404
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,760
- Oh!
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

405
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,870
'But, hey, we thought,

406
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,240
'whatever happens, at least
we'd all given it a fair go.'

407
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,590
Whoa-oh-oh. Whoa!

408
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,190
- Hm... - What do you think?
- Why is it so pink? I'm suspicious.

409
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,190
- Shaken, not stirred. - They weren't
that colour when you picked them up

410
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,430
off the table. What have
you got going in there?

411
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,150
What are you suggesting, Matthew?

412
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,590
All right, here, this is ours, on the end.

413
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,670
- Look how much they have.
- No!

414
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,190
I'll tell you, she is
the most gentle driver

415
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,470
- that God has ever created.
- OK, just a small point...

416
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,630
I think there's some cheating going
on, hang on... Something's not cool.

417
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,030
Look at those guys' faces...

418
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,950
- Cheaters, all four of them cheated.
- They're all dishonest people.

419
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,430
- All four have cheated.
- No, we didn't cheat!

420
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,390
- You held those in your hand the whole time?
- I held them in my hand...

421
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,470
No, she held that one,
she held the big one...

422
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,710
'Clearly, my colleagues were lying,
and as they argued the results

423
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,230
'amongst themselves, we
realised that Eddie's cheating

424
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,910
'had actually paid off.'

425
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,350
It's not a contest. We've won.

426
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,270
We didn't win at the racing, but we won.

427
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,870
No shame in their voices, either.

428
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,870
No shame, no shame.

429
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,910
None.

430
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,710
Matt, we love you for being so honest.

431
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,030
Those guys are two decent human beings.

432
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,020
Yeah, just too nice.

433
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,400
'With a clear conscience, we drove
on through the murky gloom.'

434
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,310
'And while the others
were full of wonder...'

435
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,910
This is an adventure, man.

436
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,630
'.. with Tinie and I having
last choice of accommodation,

437
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,480
'we were about to find out
what happens to nice guys.'

438
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:38,990
Wow, look at this.

439
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,880
'And then, out of the darkness...'

440
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,150
Oh, no, look at our tent.

441
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,110
Look at OUR tent!

442
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,750
- Oh, no!
- What the hell is this?

443
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,350
Look at the size of their tent!

444
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,120
Oh, gosh.

445
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,600
- It was great. - Part two of our
South African adventure coming up.

446
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,990
Matt, do you miss your tiny tent?

447
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,670
I don't.

448
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,150
Do you miss your Tinie Tempah?

449
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,630
I do, I like that guy.

450
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,630
All right, well, let me tell you,
please welcome here tonight...

451
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,350
NOT Tinie Tempah. Sorry,
he couldn't make it.

452
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,190
However, please do welcome our other
three co-stars from South Africa,

453
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,190
Sharleen Spiteri, Seasick
Steve, Eddie Jordan,

454
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,720
and tonight's superstar in the
rally cross car, Damian Lewis!

455
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,230
OK, OK.

456
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,830
OK, how are you? Mwah, mwah.

457
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,830
- Hi, Steve. - Evans.
- Hi, Eddie, how are you?

458
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,030
- I've just... I've just
got to say... - What?

459
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,590
Three against one, is that fair?

460
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,350
Well, you say you're one,
Damian, but first of all,

461
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,390
not only are you ace at football,

462
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,110
you're brilliant at golf,

463
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,830
you're an accomplished cricketer,

464
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,230
but also, you are Nick Brody from
Homeland, everybody! Come on!

465
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,990
The toughest man to come out
of the States for ten years.

466
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,550
You're also Henry VIII, come on!

467
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,110
The most ruthless man to come
out of England in 1,000 years,

468
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,150
and now you're Bobby Axelrod, here we go.

469
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,630
Look at that dude.

470
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,470
Oh, yes, the most lovable rogue
since the Wolf of Wall Street.

471
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,670
That's why, you see, that's
what's going on there.

472
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,750
Got it, three into one.
Got it, got it, got it.

473
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,230
Yeah, you need three normal
people to even stand a chance

474
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,070
- of beating you. - Normal? - Steve,
tell us a little bit more about

475
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,990
what Damian's up to at the moment.

476
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,750
Damian Lewis is currently
starring as Bobby Axelrod

477
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,710
in the Sky Atlantic smash hit Billions.

478
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,590
Check this out.

479
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,920
He's an icon of the wealth
of our age and he's a fraud.

480
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,630
When did it become a crime
to succeed in this country?

481
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,160
When he falls, he's going
to hit the ground... hard.

482
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,670
A good matador doesn't kill a fresh bull.

483
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,920
He'll wait until he's
been stuck a few times.

484
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,070
It's the new big thing, Sky
Atlantic 9pm Thursdays,

485
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,590
or binge on the box set.

486
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,630
That's what we do, it's what we
did, we just finished it last night.

487
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,350
It's brilliant. Very car-y
show, isn't it, by the way?

488
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,710
I get to drive some fantastic cars.

489
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,270
They closed down the West Side
Highway one day in Manhattan,

490
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,110
as I got into an old Bentley
Convertible Continental,

491
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,910
went swerving in and out
down the West Side Highway.

492
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,350
- I've got a Dodge Charger.
- Yes.

493
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,310
- There it is. Look, this thing...
- I'm in love, I'm in love.

494
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,950
This is a beautiful, beautiful
car. It's got those lovely,

495
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,630
big bucket seats, a bit like this,

496
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,430
so it's a bit like you're rolling
around, like you're in a big sofa,

497
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,310
but it's got some poke
in it, which is great.

498
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:55,750
Eddie, you have a question.

499
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,150
Very important question.

500
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,670
Damian, we all want to know, will
you be the first ginger James Bond?

501
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,230
If Chris turns it down...

502
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,870
.. I'd be only too happy.

503
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,910
How far...? Is this one question
you get sick of being asked?

504
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,590
- No, I don't get sick of
it, I love it. - Do you?

505
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,670
- But it is chat, it is just chat.
- But you seem to embrace the question,

506
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,550
as opposed to sort of poo-pooing
it. Have you made any overtures

507
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,270
to the producers of Bond?

508
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,230
No-one has called me,
Chris. No-one's called me.

509
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,030
OK, have you called them at all?

510
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,390
The name's Bond.

511
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,030
- Sorry, you didn't ask me to practise!
- Do it, do it, do it!

512
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,310
Do it, do it, do it! Go on. So
Sharleen is the new Bond girl.

513
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,150
Let's make this happen. Go on.

514
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,540
The name's Bond, Ginge Bond.

515
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,220
Nothing wrong with that!
Nothing wrong with that at all!

516
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,270
It's you or me. It's you or me.

517
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,350
So, actually, we have
three musicians here,

518
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,110
cos, Eddie, you've got a band.
And, Shar, you're in the middle

519
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,670
- of making a brand-new album, as well.
- Made a new album, yeah.

520
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,230
OK, congratulations. And,
Steve, your latest album

521
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,830
is out on the 7th October

522
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,230
and you have the biggest live gig
of your life at Wembley on the 14th.

523
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,550
Biggest live gig of his
life, ladies and gentlemen!

524
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,390
I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous,

525
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,180
I'm not nervous.

526
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,390
What's the name of your new album, Stevie?

527
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,710
The name of the new record is
Keeping the Horse Between Me

528
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,190
and the Ground. Good philosophy
when you're riding one.

529
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,790
That's a great philosophy. All
right, let's get on to cars.

530
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,550
OK, so, it's you against
Team South Africa, all right?

531
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,830
So, first of all, first
car, what are you going for?

532
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,510
First car? I had a Subaru, which
I... Actually, I went travelling

533
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,550
in South Africa for a bit and
that's where I got my first car.

534
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,350
I got in a big, old Subaru
that took me across the Kruger,

535
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,070
into the safari parks, and I went
down through the Karoo in it.

536
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,910
Right, but you can't remember which
kind of Subaru it was, can you?

537
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,830
I think it was an "Imprayza".

538
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,350
- Impreza? - Er, that too.
- Yeah, doesn't matter.

539
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,950
- Well-known off-road car.
- Yeah, it was the "Subaru Imprayza".

540
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,190
- Did it look like this? Yay!
- Who's the girl selling it?

541
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,030
- Great first hair. - That
was Hamlet hair. - Was it?

542
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,150
- Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.
- Perfect.

543
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,910
Right, so, first car for Team South
Africa, we're going with Steve.

544
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,270
Steve, you've got to
beat the Subaru Impreza.

545
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,670
No problem.

546
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,870
First car was a 1949 Ford.

547
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,750
- 1949 Ford? - Yeah. - Now,
it didn't have a name, did it?

548
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,350
It was just called a Ford.

549
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,110
People called them Shoebox cos
they kind of had a slab side,

550
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,950
but this particular car, I
was walking out in the woods,

551
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,150
and I saw this car that was
abandoned and the windows were open

552
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,270
and it had blackberry
vines growing through it,

553
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,630
and I just fell in love with this car.

554
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,790
I looked at the registration,
had the address,

555
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,910
went over to the guy's house, and I go,

556
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,230
"Um, I found your car out
in the woods," and he goes,

557
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,910
"You want it?" And I go,
"Yeah," and he gave me the keys.

558
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,070
So, you know, I go, "Yeah,
really, you're giving me the car?"

559
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,670
And he goes, "Yeah, it don't work."

560
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,990
So I got a battery and I filled
up a wine bottle full of gas,

561
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,550
and I dumped some gas in the carburettor,

562
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,550
stuck the battery in,
and it started right up.

563
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,550
And that was up in Washington State,
and I drove it down to California.

564
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:19,870
- Wow!
- Along the coast.

565
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,710
And all Steve's stories are that
good, by the way, about anything.

566
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,990
"Steve, I heard you went
to the shop the other day."

567
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,790
"Well let me tell you about that..."

568
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,310
So, a 1949 Ford Shoebox, there you go, OK.

569
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,550
That car did not look that good.

570
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,310
What about you? Shall we try
and take you back in time now?

571
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,310
Yay!

572
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,430
- Is that really me? - Yeah.
- I look even old there.

573
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,510
All right, well it is best first car,

574
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,070
so let's see them both
together, back-to-back.

575
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,990
We've got Steve's Ford '49 Shoebox

576
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,870
and we've got Damian's Impreza.

577
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,990
Let's hear it for Steve's
Ford '49 Shoebox.

578
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,230
With a great story!

579
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,390
Or Damian's Subaru Impreza?

580
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,870
Steve takes the first round!

581
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,510
- 1-nil to Team South Africa. OK...
- Thank you, thank you, thank you.

582
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,470
OK, best car ever, Damian?

583
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,790
I would have to go for my
Mini Convertible, which I love.

584
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,630
- All right. - Which I love.
- A Mini Convertible, best car ever.

585
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,150
- I drove a TVR, which I
loved. - Yeah. - But, you know,

586
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,070
went away for two weeks, then
you had to spend two weeks

587
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,630
getting it running again,

588
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,470
so that was always a problem, but
this, I stick my kids in there,

589
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,870
we stick a bit of Madness
on, we sing along,

590
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,430
the dog goes in the back.

591
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,230
Got a puppy, we have to attach
the lead to the handbrake here,

592
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,590
- in case he tries to jump out the back.
- So when he does?

593
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,710
- Well, if she does, the handbrake's
going on, isn't it? - OK, how's that?

594
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,710
Well, if we're doing a corner
at the time, it'll create quite

595
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,670
an exciting corner, but if we're
in heavy traffic on the M4,

596
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,110
it's going to be less helpful, you know.

597
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,030
OK, so, Team South Africa, best car ever.

598
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,270
Eddie Jordan's taken this one.

599
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:04,070
Beyond any doubt that wonderful
green car, the Jordan 191,

600
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,430
beyond any doubt, that is the winner!

601
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,220
Let's have a look, let's have a look.

602
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,830
Right, we... This is a bit
unfair, isn't it, best car ever?

603
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,230
But he did own it, I suppose.
Now, this was really special. Why?

604
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,270
Well, a couple of reasons. You
can probably see somebody's helmet

605
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,070
sticking out of the cockpit there.

606
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,510
It is none other than the
great Michael Schumacher,

607
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,110
his first ever Grand Prix!

608
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,470
OK, so...

609
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,310
Well, this could be close.

610
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,350
So best car ever, right?

611
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:41,550
Damian's Mini Convertible or Michael
Schumacher's debut Formula One car?

612
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,870
Let's hear it for the Mini.

613
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,510
- Yay!
- Well done.

614
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,230
Let's hear it for Michael
Schumacher's debut Formula One

615
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,830
Jordan 191...

616
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,680
Oh! Oh! With bonus... With bonus hair!

617
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,670
OK, well, it would have been 2-nil,
but I've got to disqualify you

618
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:05,390
just for that hair, sorry.

619
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,830
So, actually, I'm going to
give you the point by default.

620
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,990
Ooh, it's 1-all. It
couldn't be more exciting.

621
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,030
Let's go to the decider. So, it's
you up against Team South Africa.

622
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,910
Sharleen is in charge
of the lap, aren't you?

623
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,030
- OK... - Would you like
to see Sharleen's lap first?

624
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,030
Yeah!

625
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,320
OK, let's take a look.

626
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,590
There she is, off the line.

627
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,390
Come on!

628
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,350
Speed up, car.

629
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,940
Sharleen Spiteri, into turn one.

630
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:39,830
Easy left-hander and off-road from here,

631
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:45,230
little squiggle and a wiggle to the
right, and on to the dirt, she goes.

632
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,750
Having a good time,
water splash, here we go.

633
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,150
Good water, Sharleen.

634
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,550
OK, tight right-hander,
oversteer, no ABS, of course.

635
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,670
Into Hammerhead.

636
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:01,390
By the way, a very competitive Glaswegian

637
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,110
you have on your hands here, Damian.

638
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,670
Nice and tidy.

639
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:10,110
Back off-road.

640
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,430
Go, go, go, go, go.

641
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,190
Heading towards the big hairpin.

642
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:18,630
And, once again, oversteer, and...

643
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,350
[BLEEP].

644
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,750
- Oh, air, good air! - Air!
- Amazing air. - Come on!

645
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,990
You were in the air, Shar.

646
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,710
Eugh, I feel really sick.

647
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,990
Cleaning the tyres.

648
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,670
Cleaning the tyres, up to the
tyres, no lifting off there.

649
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:37,510
- See, I was trying.
- Very impressive, Sharleen.

650
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,070
Next to the last corner and...

651
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,870
up to Gambon. Looking good.

652
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,630
- Ooh! - Cutting the corner,
and... across the line!

653
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,510
- Yeah! - You hit that
corner perfect, Shar.

654
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,110
- Did I? - That's where
I'd go off the grass.

655
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,870
How was that for you?

656
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:01,270
Do you know what, I was just hoping
I'd get round the track in one piece

657
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,270
today, when I came, cos they
told me that the tyres were...

658
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,430
It was going to be quite
slippy, but I had so much fun.

659
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,670
- Did you? - Honestly, when
it started pulling around,

660
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:12,670
I was like, "Oh, this is great fun."
I loved it, I really loved it.

661
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:16,470
All right, so nice weather
for a record lap time, Damian.

662
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,390
Perfect conditions.

663
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,670
I wonder where this is going.

664
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:22,950
You have driven the Top Gear lap before,

665
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,910
but it was the worst conditions of
all time, and therefore the slowest

666
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,350
lap time of all time, but
everybody here says you still drove

667
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,870
it brilliantly. Would you
like to see a bit of that?

668
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,640
OK, take a look at this.

669
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,670
- Ooh!
- Watch this, watch this.

670
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:40,670
And, and, and...

671
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:42,710
Ooh!

672
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,240
Sideways across the line, whoa!

673
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,070
So today should have been a
breeze by comparison, really.

674
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,750
And also, your best car
of all time is a Mini.

675
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,310
- Yes.
- OK, so previous, here...

676
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,950
I've been practising on the
school run, Chris, yes.

677
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,310
Would you like to see Damian's lap?

678
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,790
Yeah!

679
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,000
OK, here we go!

680
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,110
Off the line! Good start there.

681
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,550
And we are off.

682
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,910
We are off and we are
about to be off-road.

683
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,990
To be honest, he's already
flying. He's already flying.

684
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,390
Look at that. Lovely.

685
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:23,870
All right, onto the dirt.

686
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,990
My heart's beating fast.

687
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,110
And water splash.

688
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,700
Yes, thank you very much, indeed.

689
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,630
Lost a second there, I reckon.

690
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,030
Into Hammerhead, keeping
it tight, once again.

691
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,710
Oh, you can see he's at home
in a Mini, the boy, isn't he?

692
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,830
- Yeah, you see, there you go.
- Almost on three wheels there.

693
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,880
I kept trying to take
the roof down though.

694
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,990
It's not roofless, but
you are being ruthless.

695
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,750
Hairpin handbrake, yes. Handbrake?

696
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,790
I did, and I gave it up.

697
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,390
Air, good air!

698
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,150
Who doesn't want a go at this?

699
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,670
OK, up to the tyre wall,
straight through there, nice.

700
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:06,950
Come across, get on the brakes.

701
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,030
OK, you can overcook it here so easily,

702
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,750
- which really messes you up for
- Gambon. Oh, look at that.

703
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,390
- No, in control, very good, slow
in, fast out. - Totally rocking.

704
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,470
And again... Oh, this is all good.

705
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,020
He's at one with his Mini,
and he's over the line!

706
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:26,870
How was it for you, Damian?

707
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,950
- It was so much fun.
- Was it?

708
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,030
I jumped in the car with the
Stig though, in the McLaren,

709
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,470
- early on in the day, when
I first got here. - Right.

710
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,030
And I had to change my
underwear afterwards.

711
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,950
It was the most terrifying thing.

712
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,630
I couldn't get out of the car.

713
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,430
I crawled out the car.

714
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,390
Right, now we've got
times up here already,

715
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,990
Jesse from last week, and Gordon.

716
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,350
First of all, Sharleen,
let's do ladies again first.

717
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:53,150
Sharleen Spiteri, you have
Jesse Eisenberg at 2:10.9,

718
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,910
you have Gordon Ramsay,

719
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,750
currently leader with all those
two names on the board, 1:56.3.

720
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,190
Sharleen, how do you think you did?

721
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,750
Do you know what, in all
honesty, I have no...

722
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:05,990
I think I'm over 2:00.

723
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,270
So you want to be beating
Jesse though, don't you?

724
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,830
I would like to beat Jesse. I'm not anywhere
near Gordon, but I'd like to beat Jesse.

725
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,350
Sharleen, you're right,
you were over two minutes.

726
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,590
Sharleen Spiteri, 2 minutes...

727
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,870
1.4, so well done!

728
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,120
- Oh! Yeah!
- You did it, you did it, you did it!

729
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,430
- Well done. - Happy with that?
- Yeah, I'm happy with that.

730
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,630
OK. Right, Damian, there's only one
thing you really want to do here,

731
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,550
isn't there?

732
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,710
I want to cook up something rather lovely.

733
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,830
OK, you did say to me
when you first arrived,

734
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,070
you said, "How competitive
was Ramsay last week?"

735
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,950
- And I think we both know the answer
to that, don't we? - Yeah, yeah.

736
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,670
He was pretty competitive, as always.

737
00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:50,510
So 1:56.3 to beat.

738
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,960
You did it in 1...

739
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,270
50... Ooh!

740
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,040
3.9!

741
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,190
Congratulations. Well done, my friend.

742
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:07,990
- Whoa!
- Rock and roll, come on!

743
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,240
New leader, Damian Lewis!

744
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:17,590
All right!

745
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,430
Now, let's find out
what happened in part two

746
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,880
of Top Gear Does South Africa.

747
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,590
- Tinie, your skin is so soft.
- Move over, man.

748
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,030
Guys, challenge! Wake up.

749
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:48,510
- Yay... - "You will now test
your vehicle's stealth capabilities

750
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,900
"with a wildlife challenge."

751
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,150
'Using our cars' reversing cameras

752
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,710
'and our most delicate driving
skills, we'd have just two hours

753
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,390
'to film the most impressive
beasts of the South African bush.

754
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,110
'But first we'd have to find them.'

755
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,070
Let's go. Whoo!

756
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,910
- You know what, this feels quite deep.
- Oh, my God.

757
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,190
No, wait, don't go any
further, don't go any further!

758
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:18,200
Woohoo! We're clear!

759
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,990
'In the Jaguar, we decided to go big.'

760
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,110
So, Steve, we've got to find a rhino.

761
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,430
I thought rhinos found you.

762
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,350
Right on, Jaguar.

763
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,400
This car's doing all right here, isn't it?

764
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,990
I, actually, honestly, when
I said that, I meant it,

765
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,150
it felt nicer on the dirt
than it did on the highway.

766
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,110
It seems to settle into its groove.

767
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,030
Yeah, it seems at home here, doesn't it?

768
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,060
If we see a rhino, I'm
going to [BLEEP] myself.

769
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,640
Meanwhile, Eddie had spotted something.

770
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,870
Look.

771
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,910
- These are... - Eddie, you've gone
a bit Crocodile Dundee on me here.

772
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,230
No, look at the hoof!

773
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,230
He's going in that
direction. Come on, let's go!

774
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,550
How are we going to know
what direction he's going in?

775
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,550
Because you can see his hoof!

776
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,870
Do you really know what
direction he's going in?

777
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,150
Well, he's not going to
walk backwards, is he?

778
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,350
And then, incredibly,
Eddie was proven right.

779
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,670
Oh, wow!

780
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:28,950
Oh, my God, look, wildebeest.

781
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,750
That's too good to miss, we've got
to go and have a crack at that.

782
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,990
- Up here?
- Yeah, straight up.

783
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,910
- You're my periscope.
- I am!

784
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,070
Oh...

785
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,310
Don't go in there...

786
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,270
Where is he? Where is he?!

787
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:46,830
He's gone.

788
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,030
'In the Porsche, though,
Matt and Tinie were

789
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,630
'pointed in the right direction,
which happened to be backwards.'

790
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,230
OK, keep your eyes out for animals, buddy.

791
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,510
'And before long, they found some.'

792
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,830
There they are.

793
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,350
We don't want to scare them away.
We have to be really stealth.

794
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,310
- You checking out this pro
reversing I'm doing? - You legend.

795
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,670
Get your notepad out, mate.

796
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:15,230
You know, these are my favourite
animals in the world, Matt?

797
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,830
Are they really?

798
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,320
Right, I've got my director hat on,
I'm looking through the camera now.

799
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,270
Look, look, look, we got them.

800
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,390
That is awesome. Sick.

801
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,870
Oh, here comes some more! They're
walking right... Camera hogs.

802
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,670
- Look out your window,
Look, look, look. - Oh, yeah!

803
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:37,470
With the babies.

804
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,270
- Ooh! - Look, look,
look, look, look. - Ooh!

805
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,150
- Look at them all
running through. - Sick.

806
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,990
Whoo!

807
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,190
'Back on our rhino hunt, the
rhinos were nowhere to be seen.'

808
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:51,990
We haven't got anything on our camera.

809
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,390
Does that mean we lose,
if we don't get something,

810
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,190
with all that amazing driving you did?

811
00:45:57,240 --> 00:45:59,830
[BLEEP]. Oh, man.

812
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,920
- We missed the impala.
- We can't even catch an impala.

813
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,150
'And worse still for Steve and I,

814
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,590
'Eddie's bush-tracking skills
were about to pay off again.'

815
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:13,560
Oh, my God! Giraffes.

816
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,360
What are the chances that
we can get up here a bit?

817
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,990
No, don't move. No, no, no, no, no, no...

818
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,840
Oh, my God, this is almost impossible.

819
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,910
Keep going, keep going, keep
going. Keep it as quiet as you can.

820
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,230
There he is, look. Beautiful.

821
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,110
'And then we discovered he wasn't alone.'

822
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,030
How elegant, look.

823
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,520
Oh, my goodness.

824
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,340
'Time was up on our stealth
driving challenge.'

825
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,870
- Do you think we got enough stuff?
- I think we did good.

826
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,270
We did really good. We've
got loads of zebras.

827
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,990
Zebra? What's a zebra?

828
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,870
Well, we call it zebra,
you guys call it "zeebra".

829
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,630
Zed. Zed, right?

830
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,190
- "Zeebra". - X, Y, zed. - Zee.

831
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:09,270
Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, zed.

832
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,750
- Zee. - Zed. - Zee.

833
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,030
It's not Jay "zed", it's Jay "zee".

834
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:19,720
Ah, OK, you got me, you got
me! I can't say no to that.

835
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,950
'The results were in.

836
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,470
'So, which SUV had stealthed
its way to success?'

837
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,510
OK, OK, OK, challenge results.

838
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,900
Here it is. "The winner is...

839
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,320
"Eddie and Sharleen."

840
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,550
- The underdogs!
- Yes!

841
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,830
These guys, why do they keep winning?

842
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,870
Did you cheat on this one, as well, guys?

843
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,830
No, how do you cheat at that?

844
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,710
Were any of them stuffed animals?

845
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,950
We were looking for a rhino!

846
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,790
Oh, my God, you two are so jealous.

847
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,350
So, giraffe beats zebra. Really? Who knew?

848
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,440
At least one thing was certain.
We had somewhere we needed to be.

849
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,950
Our passengers were due
to headline a music night,

850
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,340
at the highest pub in Africa.

851
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,750
And to get them the rest of the way,

852
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,710
our SUVs would really have to perform.

853
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,070
Come across!

854
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:21,660
Oh, no, no.

855
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,710
Ooh...

856
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,470
Way!

857
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,990
- Yeah! - What a show-off. - Legend!

858
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,950
- He's crooked. - Look at that,
look at that, all-time air.

859
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,870
Whoo! Good, good.

860
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,030
Oh, oh, ooh.

861
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,230
Ooh!

862
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,870
Oi! Almost ran over his man.

863
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,600
- We nearly lost you.
- Oh, God.

864
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:52,630
As we ploughed on, it was like our cars...

865
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,710
came alive.

866
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,590
Whoohoo!

867
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,910
They were in their element,

868
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:04,120
eating up whatever terrain
Africa threw at them.

869
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:09,390
But the Mercedes developed
another problem,

870
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,830
and this time it was sat
in the driver's seat.

871
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:15,700
Oh! [BLEEP].

872
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,680
Ooh!

873
00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:24,870
Yeah, you just ripped the skirt off
the back of your car, it's hanging.

874
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,670
Hold up, Eddie, hold up.

875
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:29,270
'And it turned out there was
another reason why the Merc

876
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,310
'had taken a battering.'

877
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,230
Eddie, did you have it in off-road mode?

878
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,830
- I don't think so.
- You don't have it in off-road mode?

879
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,510
Uh, I don't know. No.

880
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,070
Eddie -- mountains, river, rocks, Africa.

881
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:48,910
You know, there's a button in there,

882
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,870
when you push the button,
it raises the car up

883
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,470
so you can get over the rocks
and stuff, so when you get maybe

884
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,560
off the pavement, hit that button
and you won't destroy the car.

885
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,270
Can you remember to push the button?

886
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,190
'Sadly, though, he didn't.'

887
00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:10,230
It's pretty rugged here.

888
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,820
Mind you, can we raise the ride?

889
00:50:13,620 --> 00:50:14,870
Aah!

890
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,160
- Oh, God!
- Eddie...

891
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,110
'The Mercedes and Sharleen were
looking unlikely to make it

892
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:26,400
'to the pub in one piece.
Something had to be done.'

893
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,630
How's it going, guys?

894
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,870
Eh, we bust this tank and it's leaking.

895
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,870
Right, so listen, we've, um...

896
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,950
We don't think you should
drive the car any more.

897
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,390
We think you should hand the keys over
to Sharleen for the remainder of the trip.

898
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,030
- That's not a bad idea, actually.
- Is he joking?

899
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,880
- It's true, I'm not kidding.
- Are you being serious?

900
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:51,760
Sharleen?

901
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,350
I'm not Sharleen.

902
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,870
You're not driving it, are you?

903
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,190
'With the Merc's issues
dealt with once and for all,

904
00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:08,120
'we closed in on our final destination.'

905
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,400
Wow, look at that. There
it is, the Sani Pass.

906
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,440
Our pub is straight ahead.

907
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,190
Well, not quite straight.

908
00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:24,910
Before us lay the most
treacherous of dirt roads,

909
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,470
climbing high into the
Drakensberg Mountains.

910
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,750
No run-off, no barriers,

911
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,470
no margin for error. No, seriously.

912
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,620
And as we steeled
ourselves for the climb...

913
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,390
- Oh!
- Hold on, guys. Message.

914
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,110
Yeah, have we all got the same message?

915
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,950
"Congratulations, you've nearly
made it to Africa's highest pub,

916
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,270
"a hell of a commute."

917
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:55,190
"However, there is only one vacancy
to perform on stage tonight."

918
00:51:55,240 --> 00:51:58,750
"There are two other
vacancies working the bar

919
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,430
"and washing dishes in
the kitchen..." What?

920
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,270
- Oh, man, that sucks.
- "To decide who gets the gig,

921
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,430
"you and your artist will
race up the Sani Pass.

922
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,640
"The winner will be the fastest
and/or whoever survives."

923
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,480
Is it that nutty?

924
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,030
Yes, it was.

925
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:22,230
We would each have to attack a
terrifying, unsighted rally stage,

926
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,070
the ultimate test for our SUVs.

927
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,270
We would be trusting them with our lives.

928
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,230
I'm going to focus on the road,
you tell me when the lady says go.

929
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,030
I got your back.

930
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:38,150
'And in true rally style, we would
start at 30-second intervals.'

931
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,440
Go!

932
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,070
Breathe, breathing.

933
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,670
Watch her fingers.

934
00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:53,960
Go!

935
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,710
Just a touch on the brakes, just a touch.

936
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,990
Go, go, go!

937
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,510
I love it.

938
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,750
Here we go, ready?

939
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,080
Easy now.

940
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,520
Way!

941
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:20,160
As the pass climbed higher,
the drops became ever steeper.

942
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,870
But with the other cars on
my tail, I couldn't slow down.

943
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,830
Straight, straight, straight,
don't... Watch the bump here!

944
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,190
Now take it steady.

945
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:34,280
But then the Sani Pass
threw up a surprise.

946
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,350
A border!

947
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:45,870
'Turns out Africa's highest pub
isn't actually in South Africa.

948
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,350
'It's in Lesotho.'

949
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:48,750
Can I see your passport, please?

950
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,710
Sure. We've gotta get through
this as quick as we can.

951
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:55,360
Oh, no, we didn't have
our passports ready! Oh.

952
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,220
We're in a different country now.

953
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,440
Whoa, whoa!

954
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,660
What the hell happened then?

955
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:13,950
What on earth is this? Keep going!

956
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,520
Flash them. Flash, flash, flash.
Oh, my God, what's he want?

957
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,310
- Can I see your passport, please?
- Oh, come on, we're in a race, man.

958
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:24,800
Let's go!

959
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,040
Go. Go!

960
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,420
Mind! Jesus!

961
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,320
Son of the holy [BLEEP]!

962
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,150
With Matt and Tinie smoothly
through the border...

963
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,750
Thank you.

964
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,900
.. we were all approaching
the last stretch.

965
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,270
It was as stunning as it was dangerous.

966
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,000
Whoa, whoa...

967
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,520
Don't even look down there!

968
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,360
Whoa, you can't even see anything!

969
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,750
'And then the Sani Pass
revealed its final test.'

970
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:16,670
Oh, my goodness.

971
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:19,630
'A perilous set of snaking switchbacks

972
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,020
'to the top of the mountain.'

973
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,040
I don't want to look!

974
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:32,800
- Aah! - Oh, [BLEEP]!
- We're over the cliff!

975
00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:37,750
- Can you see Sharleen anywhere? - No!

976
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,870
Come on, we've got Chris
just above, you can see him.

977
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,000
Chris is miles away, but I
can see Eddie and Sharleen.

978
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,110
Just watch Matt doesn't
come up, cos he is so fast.

979
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:49,470
Come on, baby.

980
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,520
Easy now, easy, easy.

981
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,560
What a road, and what a trip.

982
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:04,590
2,874 metres above Africa, and we
were all thinking the same thing.

983
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,710
Almost there, brother.

984
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,120
Come on!

985
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,070
I can smell the pub.

986
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,430
We're nearly there, come on, finish
line now, finish line, come on!

987
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:16,510
Come on!

988
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,070
Yahoo!

989
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,190
Whoohoo!

990
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:23,190
Ahhh!

991
00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:25,640
- Faster!
- We finished it!

992
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,840
Oh, come on, come on!

993
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,160
- Whoo-whoo!
- Yeah!

994
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,750
As the sun was setting
on our African adventure,

995
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,800
the results of the final
challenge were in.

996
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:51,110
So, it was time for the
losers to get to work,

997
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,990
and for the winners to take to the stage.

We're going to miss all the fun.

1011

- We shouldn't be here, Sharleen.
- I'm not a bloody racing driver!

1012
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,470
Well, neither am I!

1013
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,670
But you were!

1014
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,630
My God. You're trying to blame me.

1015
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,390
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!

1016
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,510
That was so much fun, that was a
trip none of us will ever forget,

1017
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,910
thanks to these three cars,
which are tough as nails.

1018
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,030
Which is absolutely true and correct.

1019
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,470
However, when it comes to
the road test, not the race,

1020
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,990
which is why we were there,
our car, mine and Steve's car,

1021
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,390
the Jaguar F-Pace, was the only one
that finished with nothing broken...

1022
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,310
- True, true. - .. nothing
hanging off and nothing leaking.

1023
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:06,990
- Good car.
- Great car.

1024
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,710
Which can only mean one thing.

1025
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,670
What?

1026
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,830
You were driving like Miss Daisy!

1027
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,710
And on that bombshell...

1028
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,830
Oh, no, no, no...

1029
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,390
We don't do that any more.
Did he not get the memo?

1030
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,430
I sent the memo. Anyway,
on next week's show,

1031
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,070
the debut of our two rookies
Chris Harris and Rory Reid,

1032
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,550
and Ken Block and Kevin
Hart and Anthony Joshua.

1033
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:32,150
Yeah, and the Tesla Model X, the
new Audi R8, and the Ferrari F12tdf.

1034
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,110
- Right, goodnight, everybody,
thanks for watching! - Goodnight!
