00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:10,700

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,890
Tonight... Richard wears a blue hat,

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,890
James wears a different hat

5
00:00:18,430 --> 00:00:20,920
and I wear a hat with things on it.

6
00:00:29,110 --> 00:00:32,540
Hello! Thank you.

7
00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:40,540
Now, as you may remember, before Christmas 
there was a bit of snow. Everything stopped,

8
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:48,220
we all ran about waving arms in the air saying, 
"Why in this country do we not have 
more snow ploughs and more gritting machines?"

9
00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:53,940
The main problem of course is cost, especially at the 
moment, because councils everywhere are laying people off.

10
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:57,260
They cannot very well 
make a whole department redundant

11
00:00:57,260 --> 00:01:00,850
and then spend the ￡90,000 
they have saved on a snow plough.

12
00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:06,400
Especially if the snow plough is just going to be sitting
around. It might not be needed for five years. Exactly.

13
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,900
So, what is to be done?

14
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:14,330
Well, this is the combine harvester. 
It works 24 hours-a-day through August,

15
00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:17,470
but then it sits idly in the shed 
for the rest of the year. 

16
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:22,630
How hard would it be to turn 
this in winter into a snow plough?

17
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:29,850
To find out, we bought an old model, of this very combine
in fact, and set about making the necessary modifications

18
00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:33,510
at Top Gear's top-secret testing 
facility in Nottinghamshire.

19
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:39,400
On the B6011, Just North of Bestwood, St Albans.

20
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:46,980
This is the result of our endeavours.

21
00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:04,570
Straight away you can see we have removed the rotating, 
cutting, harvesty blade thing off the front  
and replaced it with this snow blade.

22
00:02:04,570 --> 00:02:08,050
It is V-shaped, because that makes it 
more easy to cut through the snow.

23
00:02:08,050 --> 00:02:13,100
This should be able to move through 
snow up to three feet deep, no problem.

24
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:21,030
Power comes from a V8 diesel engine 
which drives these chunky front wheels.

25
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:27,200
In the snow, as any BMW driver will tell you, 
front-wheel drive is a lot better than rear-wheel-drive.

26
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,070
The combine, when you think about it, it is almost 
as if it was designed with snow clearance in mind.

27
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:34,490
It is uncanny. Everything about it,

28
00:02:34,490 --> 00:02:39,040
it has the ground clearance, knobbly tyres, 
front-wheel drive, the weight of it, it is all there.

29
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,630
This is one of those times on top gear actually... 

30
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:46,340
We have accidentally been a bit clever! 
...this might work.

31
00:02:48,850 --> 00:02:56,820
Since the dominator has a top speed of just 12mph, 
it's easy to decide which one of us would be the driver.

32
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:04,200
What happens if I put it on full? 
BLEEP. I don't like that!

33
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,250
Give it the beans! Faster!

34
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,270
Hang on,  it is not like a rally car.

35
00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:14,260
He is going the wrong way. 
Rear wheel steering, look. 

36
00:03:14,970 --> 00:03:21,740
It is not very sensitive 
steering. BLEEP. Oh, BLEEP.

37
00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:27,100
There is of course, one drawback to 
the combine as a snow plough.

38
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:32,150
Because it was designed to work in August, 
it has no heater.

39
00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:35,890
Which is why there is a drum in there, 
you can probably see through the window,

40
00:03:35,890 --> 00:03:40,210
and that is an urn. We put that in there.

41
00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:43,750
Full of... Well, we wanted tea, 
but James said 'I want Bovril'.

42
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:45,440
Because he is in 1950.

43
00:03:45,940 --> 00:03:50,880
We all know that when it is snowing and it is cold, 
you have Bovril. That is a rule of life.

44
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,150
He likes to paint himself all over in it,

45
00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:56,380
it is like baby oil to him. 
That is what he does.

46
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,270
Him and his lorry driver friends, all Bovrilled up, 
and then they slip about. That is what they do!

47
00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:08,650
"Besides attaching a plough on the front,

48
00:04:08,650 --> 00:04:15,110
we also converted the tube that normally shoots 
out the harvested wheat into a makeshift gritter". 

49
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,770
I shall be responsible for shovelling 
the grit from here into this hopper.

50
00:04:22,770 --> 00:04:25,340
I should be good at this, because my first job was

51
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:27,940
actually shovelling grit 
into a water filtration plant.

52
00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:30,920
Go on then, shovel. Make shovelling.

53
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,680
hile he is doing that, I shall explain my role.

54
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:43,120
I can use this lever here to swing the 
arm to direct the flow of grit on to 
the pavement or onto the road behind.

55
00:04:44,020 --> 00:04:45,530
Yes, look at this!

56
00:04:45,530 --> 00:04:49,260
Initiating gritting.

57
00:04:56,790 --> 00:05:01,810
Yes! And there was grit! 
We have made a gritting machine!

58
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,450
"But there was one more check we wanted to do".

59
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:12,250
You know what it is like when you are following 
a gritting lorry on the motorway

60
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:15,460
you can go 'No, it is turning 
my car into a DeLorean!'

61
00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:17,760
Exactly. So, to make sure this is not too powerful,

62
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,410
we have got Hammond in a car. 
We are going to do a little experiment,

63
00:05:22,410 --> 00:05:25,560
fire the gritter at it, make sure it does not 
actually take the paint off.

64
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,700
will be all right sideways, won't it? Yes, yes.

65
00:05:30,820 --> 00:05:33,480
OK James, engage.

66
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,600
Initiating gritting.

67
00:05:40,190 --> 00:05:44,490
Stop it James, there has been a problem! 
Make it stop!

68
00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:47,030
Gritting ceased.

69
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,460
"Apart from the fact that the grit
would kill the occupants of any car it hit,

70
00:05:54,460 --> 00:05:57,770
we felt that the dominator was ready to start work,

71
00:05:59,430 --> 00:06:01,130
but there was a problem".

72
00:06:05,850 --> 00:06:07,060
It is not going to snow, is it?

73
00:06:08,290 --> 00:06:11,560
"With crossed fingers, we tuned in
to the weather forecast".

74
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,620
Good afternoon... Shh! We are going to
see a change in our weather later on this week.

75
00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:19,570
Temperatures really starting to climb, 
things heading much milder. 
We have had a fair bit of cloud around already...

76
00:06:19,570 --> 00:06:24,390
The good news is there is absolutely no sign
of the cold air returning in the near future,

77
00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:29,360
it is a very mild outlook. 
The reason we have got all this warm air, 
it is pumping up from the tropics.

78
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,420
What does he know?

79
00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:34,650
He does not have to rub it in, does he? 
He sounds all gleeful about it.

80
00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:41,350
"So, if the snow would not come to the dominator, 
we would take the dominator to the snow.

81
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:51,660
Here in Norway, we decided to clear the
snow from a frozen lake to make a runway

82
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:55,150
and then a Nor would land his plane on it".

83
00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:00,670
This is quite snowy. It must have snowed.

84
00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:03,860
"We knew the ice would be thick enough 
for a light aircraft, 

85
00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:06,740
but what about our heavy snowbine?".

86
00:07:10,910 --> 00:07:12,520
Ooh, oh. I thought he would be drilling for hours!

87
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,220
That was 10 seconds!

88
00:07:15,220 --> 00:07:17,420
Seriously, has that gone  through? Yes.

89
00:07:19,630 --> 00:07:27,060
Norwegians actually have a chart to say how much 
weight you can put on various thicknesses of ice.

90
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:29,830
So, how thick is it? 45 centimetres.

91
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:33,780
Well, say 50... let's say 40. It is 45.

92
00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:37,550
So 50 centimetres of ice, 12 tonnes.

93
00:07:37,550 --> 00:07:41,880
Combine is more than that. It is 13 tonnes.

94
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,960
So, we can't do it? Well it is only a tonne over.

95
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,530
"Bravely, Hammond and the optimistic Jeremy 
decided not to be on board,

96
00:07:51,530 --> 00:07:54,730
as I gingerly drove the snowbine out of the woods,

97
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:57,840


98
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,070
towards the ice".

99
00:08:00,870 --> 00:08:02,410
Three yards to the lake,

100
00:08:03,140 --> 00:08:04,250
this is it!

101
00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:10,730
I do not like that noise!

102
00:08:16,130 --> 00:08:18,480
"Eventually though, I made it".

103
00:08:18,870 --> 00:08:21,060
I or did I not say we would be all right?

104
00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:25,530
Was that or was that not based entirely on guesswork?

105
00:08:28,730 --> 00:08:32,790
"As my guesswork was correct, we set to work".

106
00:08:36,510 --> 00:08:37,710
We are ploughing.

107
00:08:40,530 --> 00:08:42,700
We are ploughing chaps, look at this.

108
00:08:45,740 --> 00:08:47,690
Here we go!

109
00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:53,070
The snowbinester - it works! Yes!

110
00:08:55,390 --> 00:08:59,500
Come on!

111
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,920
This is.. Oh!

112
00:09:05,490 --> 00:09:07,290
I think we have just gone through it.

113
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:09,240
Ho-ho, yes we have!

114
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:13,430
Is not an emergency,
it is just time to empty your bowels. 

115
00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:15,850
Sinking! Sinking!

116
00:09:16,610 --> 00:09:18,730
"Bravely, Jeremy dismounted".

117
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,700
back it up!

118
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:22,580
"And then he started to issue orders".

119
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:30,920
That is sinking badly. Put your blade down because
that has just gone through again.

120
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,150
"When the combine finally moved, 
we could see the scale of the peril".

121
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,010
That is 300 metres deep.

122
00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:45,130
It's just water.

123
00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:52,800
"However, unlike the snowplough people at Heathrow
Airport, we decided not to just give up".

124
00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:59,790
Do you know how many flights were cancelled 
in Heathrow last year, because of the weather?

125
00:10:01,460 --> 00:10:02,990
3700.

126
00:10:02,990 --> 00:10:06,630
Do you know how many flights were
cancelled in Oslo because of the weather?

127
00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:09,690
2000? Two.

128
00:10:09,690 --> 00:10:13,870
Heathrow 3700.

129
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:19,180
"As we were proving, all of that
misery was completely un-necessary".

130
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,990
There really is no excuse. Heathrow, BAA,

131
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:26,430
if you're watching this, you're pathetic.

132
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:31,890
And if anybody in a meeting says "Oh well, 
the reason why it was shut is...", sack him.

133
00:10:31,890 --> 00:10:38,690
There is no reason why it was shut because 
it is not difficult to clear a runway. It just is not.

134
00:10:39,150 --> 00:10:43,630
"My rant was interrupted at this point 
by news from below decks".

135
00:10:43,630 --> 00:10:48,420
The Bovril is boiling over.

136
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,890
"Up top, Hammond was still fretting about the ice".

137
00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:59,860
Oh my god, that is another crack there, look. 
Yep. Big one.

138
00:11:00,780 --> 00:11:03,540
When we go through, it is going to be worse for him.

139
00:11:03,540 --> 00:11:07,360
Oh god yes, because he will be pawing a
t the glass, desperate.

140
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:11,160
"Right now though, he was pawing at the steering wheel".

141
00:11:11,830 --> 00:11:17,910
James, James, go right you idiot! Stay right, 
it is a straight line we are looking for!

142
00:11:18,810 --> 00:11:20,960
I think this will be a tricky landing.

143
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,950
We got into a tank slapper. 

144
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:27,190
Look where we're pointing. 
James, the trees indicate land.

145
00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:31,600
"Eventually though, 
James are mastered at the rear wheel steering".

146
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,980
I am waiting to look behind us and
see a runway, complete with lights and everything.

147
00:11:36,980 --> 00:11:39,090
That is not happening, but it is not bad, look.

148
00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:43,200
"Pretty soon, the runway was finished.

149
00:11:44,850 --> 00:11:50,310
So we pulled over and radioed the pilot, 
giving him permission to land".

150
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:56,610
It is not the smoothest runway. 
No, but there is less snow on it than there was.

151
00:11:57,350 --> 00:12:00,610
is smooth enough, isn't it? 
Well we are about to find out. Here he comes.

152
00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:10,510
Look at that, job done.

153
00:12:10,510 --> 00:12:15,000
Ladies and gentlemen, we did that! How about that.

154
00:12:16,070 --> 00:12:19,480
"Sadly though, our celebrations were premature".

155
00:12:21,770 --> 00:12:24,730
Oh, oh my God. That is quite bumpy.

156
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,900
He has crashed. He has pretty much crashed there.

157
00:12:31,610 --> 00:12:35,240
time like this, 
there is only one thing a man can do.

158
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Right, quick, go! Go go go! Right, James, run!

159
00:12:53,470 --> 00:12:55,890
That was deeply embarrassing.

160
00:12:59,610 --> 00:13:02,220
I know we are often accused of faking 
things on this programme,

161
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:05,210
but trust me, you cannot actually fake a plane crash.

162
00:13:05,210 --> 00:13:11,080
I think that it is probably safe to say we will 
not be getting a Christmas tree for 
Trafalgar Square this year, from Norway.

163
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,430
Anyway, we will be picking that film up later on. 
We want to explain it is not just a massive cocking around.

164
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:19,970
We really do believe that 
we were on to something with that snowbine

165
00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:25,030
because if you think about it, if it works, farmers can 
rent out equipment that would normally be sitting idle,

166
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:29,430
councils do not have to maintain a fleet, 
which savesthem a fortune.

167
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:31,050
And we get our roads open.

168
00:13:31,050 --> 00:13:33,140
So we really do think 
it is worth persevering with.

169
00:13:33,140 --> 00:13:37,470
Anyway, now, we are going to do the news.
I want to begin by talking about Nissan. 

170
00:13:37,470 --> 00:13:40,500
They have announced they are going to 
make a new electric sports car 

171
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,600
which they are going to exhibit at 
the Geneva Motor Show, which is soon. 

172
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,210
That is a picture of it. 

173
00:13:45,210 --> 00:13:47,920
They have sent us lots of details about this car.

174
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,290
Interestingly and unusually, 
they have also sent us a description 

175
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:53,190
of the sort of person who will buy it.  

176
00:13:53,190 --> 00:13:56,590
An actual biography. 
I am quoting now from a Nissan themselves. 

177
00:13:56,590 --> 00:13:59,350
They say the driver, Daniel... 

178
00:13:59,350 --> 00:14:01,260
So this guy does not exist, they have made him up? Yes. 

179
00:14:01,260 --> 00:14:06,950
They say "Daniel works in tech but lives for the weekend.  

180
00:14:06,950 --> 00:14:08,690
On a Friday night after work, 

181
00:14:08,690 --> 00:14:10,680
he gets behind the wheels of his Esflow, 

182
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:13,160
which instantly links with his pocket PDA..." 

183
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,500
he sounds like a bit of a prat. He does. Anyway,

184
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:19,250
"...it determines the fastest route 
to his girlfriend's home. 

185
00:14:19,250 --> 00:14:22,050
On Sunday, he drives through the mountains for leisure," 

186
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,530
on his milk float. And then he gets home eventually, 

187
00:14:27,530 --> 00:14:30,050
it is all charged up, and he lives in Barcelona. 

188
00:14:30,050 --> 00:14:32,230
Hang on a minute, he's called Daniel? 

189
00:14:33,170 --> 00:14:35,900
Could he be the Daniel from the Elton John song?  

190
00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:38,010
Yes, that is who he was writing about. Hang on. 

191
00:14:39,090 --> 00:14:41,200
# Daniel is travelling tonight.... 

192
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,200
In his stupid electric sports car. 
I can see the red tail lights...# 

193
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,360
No, you would not be able to, would you? 

194
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,660
It is battery-powered, they will have gone flat.  

195
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:55,400
# Daniel's girlfriend is bouncing around 
on a man with an Aston v8...#

196
00:14:56,910 --> 00:14:58,530
I have just had a thought.  

197
00:14:58,530 --> 00:15:01,630
What is James' middle name? It is Daniel! Yes it is. 

198
00:15:04,130 --> 00:15:05,270
Anyway, that is enough Daniel. 

199
00:15:06,690 --> 00:15:09,350
Bentley have announced that in the next James Bond book, 

200
00:15:09,350 --> 00:15:13,420
007 will be driving a Bentley Continental. 

201
00:15:13,420 --> 00:15:17,180
Wow. Is that the next James Bond? Look at him.

202
00:15:17,870 --> 00:15:22,170
He looks like an accountant. 

203
00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:25,750
What is the book called? 
On her Majesty's Customs and Excise? 

204
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,460
ledger. Live and Let's File.

205
00:15:32,220 --> 00:15:36,110
I should point out that man is the author 
of the book, not the new bond. Sorry. 

206
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:38,550
I do not know why you would want a modern Bentley anyway, 

207
00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:41,460
I drove one in Albania recently and it was terrible.

208
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:46,600
I was killed in it. You were! So it was not all bad. 

209
00:15:47,210 --> 00:15:50,990
Now, you know infinity? 
You mean when James explains how something works? 

210
00:15:50,990 --> 00:15:54,270
And infinity just stretches out 
in front of you forever. 

211
00:15:54,270 --> 00:15:58,080
No, not endless time and space, Infinity, 
the Japanese car maker. Oh, yeah.

212
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,370
They are Datsuns with a bit of velvet in them, Basically. 

213
00:16:00,370 --> 00:16:04,400
A bit like Lexus is to Toyota. 
Well, at the Geneva Motor Show, 

214
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,250
they have announced they are going to 
show off a new direction they are going in. 

215
00:16:08,250 --> 00:16:10,910
This is the car they will be showing, it is a concept, 

216
00:16:10,910 --> 00:16:13,820
I think it looks like an ordinary car that has melted. 

217
00:16:13,820 --> 00:16:18,850
But what I am worried about his 
they have called it the Urethra. 

218
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,180
Are you sure? It is not actually spelt urethra, 

219
00:16:24,180 --> 00:16:26,880
but it looks like it is pronounced urethra.

220
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,470
Is the urethra the bit your old chap... 

221
00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:34,250
Isn't it a tube connecting your 
kidney to your bladder? 

222
00:16:34,250 --> 00:16:37,100
Where the wee goes a long to get it 
from your kidney to your bladder? 

223
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:38,180
How come you keep saying yes to everything! 

224
00:16:38,180 --> 00:16:41,130
How come you're such an expert? 
You look like a scaffolder!  

225
00:16:43,010 --> 00:16:45,700
Are you actually a wee doctor? Yes. You are? 

226
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:48,230
What are you really? I am a car salesman.

227
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:49,600
Car salesman. 

228
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,430
Anyway, so if you want a melted car named 
after a tube with urine in it, 

229
00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:56,920
that is the car for you. 

230
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:03,890
Now, Ferrari. This year's F1 car they said 
is going to be called the F150. 

231
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:06,770
Then, they got a call from Ford's lawyers saying  

232
00:17:06,770 --> 00:17:11,410
"No, you cannot do that because we own the name 
F150 and that will cause confusion." 

233
00:17:11,410 --> 00:17:16,210
So let's have a look at the Ferrari. 
This is the F150, this year's F1 car, 

234
00:17:16,210 --> 00:17:19,060
and now let's have a look at Ford's F150.  

235
00:17:20,370 --> 00:17:22,840
It is easy to see how the confusion could arise 

236
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,930
between the two if you kept them together. 

237
00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:27,980
What would be worse than getting pole position 
sitting on the grid and thinking, 

238
00:17:27,980 --> 00:17:29,750
"Right, here we go in my big F1 race, 

239
00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:32,000
why is there a man in a cowboy hat sitting next to me? 

240
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,250
Oh, no, I am in a pickup truck!" 
Ferrari actually say, and I am quoting now,  

241
00:17:36,250 --> 00:17:39,590
it is difficult to understand Ford's 
viewpoint on this matter. 

242
00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:41,420
I am sort of with them. 

243
00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:43,430
Anyway, they have changed the name. 

244
00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:44,950
The Ferrari Formula One car is now called 

245
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:49,140
the Ferrari F-Henry Ford is a massive peach. 

246
00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:53,660
Two things with the same name do not 
necessarily have to be confused. 

247
00:17:53,660 --> 00:17:56,760
Like Hammond can mean a massive organ, 
or it can... Oh yeah. 

248
00:17:59,780 --> 00:18:02,640
Does anybody here play golf? You do? 

249
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,800
OK, I have got some news about 
personalised number plates. 

250
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,940
I know you love that sort of thing if you play golf. 

251
00:18:08,050 --> 00:18:10,910
We have got the new 11 plates coming out very soon, 

252
00:18:10,910 --> 00:18:12,510
the numbers will be 11. 

253
00:18:12,510 --> 00:18:14,350
Obviously, that gives a wealth of possibilities for 

254
00:18:14,350 --> 00:18:16,610
writing amusing words on your number plate. 

255
00:18:17,140 --> 00:18:19,150
Bulldog, Holland, gallop and so on. 

256
00:18:19,150 --> 00:18:21,530
The DVLA, which is a big building in Wales 

257
00:18:21,530 --> 00:18:26,610
are now selling these numbers 
for between 3,000 and 10,000. 

258
00:18:26,610 --> 00:18:31,310
To be fair, it is between 3,000 and 10,000 
plus the fine you get for interfering  

259
00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:33,230
with the letters and numbers on your number plate. 

260
00:18:33,230 --> 00:18:34,580
It is true. We are the only country in the world

261
00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:37,750
where the government says if you move 
the letters and numbers around

262
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:40,380
to make this word you can buy this from us, 

263
00:18:40,380 --> 00:18:42,540
and then they fine you for moving the 
letters and numbers around. 

264
00:18:42,540 --> 00:18:43,560
It is a bit weird, that.

265
00:18:44,020 --> 00:18:45,850
The interesting thing is that some of the words 

266
00:18:45,850 --> 00:18:48,400
have been banned for being offensive or sinister. 

267
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:54,430
Words like psycho and vulgar. 
But they have allowed ballbag. 

268
00:18:56,060 --> 00:19:01,700
They have? No, they haven't. 
They have not allowed ballbag, 

269
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:03,900
But they have allowed melons. 

270
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,960
Isn't that sexist? It is sexist to me. 

271
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:13,190
It is also not fair, because what if you 
were a wholesaler of giant hold-alls 

272
00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:16,630
for transporting footballs in large volumes 
to school playing fields? 

273
00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:18,570
You might want ballbag. They are not doing it, 

274
00:19:18,570 --> 00:19:23,600
but I think it is unlikely it would be 
bought by a sporting wholesaler. 

275
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,940
In the same way that melons would 
not be bought by a greengrocer. 

276
00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:29,970
It would end up on Jordan's pink whore's box.

277
00:19:29,970 --> 00:19:33,650
What? Horse box. Oh. What did you think I said? 

278
00:19:33,650 --> 00:19:35,960
That is what I thought you said. 

279
00:19:37,250 --> 00:19:40,510
One of the things we have learned over 
the years on this show is that  

280
00:19:40,510 --> 00:19:46,380
if you want a small, fast saloon car, 
you have to buy a BMW M3. 

281
00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:51,810
You can go off and buy a fast Mercedes 
or a fast Audi if you want, 

282
00:19:51,810 --> 00:19:53,210
but that is like going out and buying a 

283
00:19:53,210 --> 00:19:56,740
Playstation war game that isn't Call of Duty. 

284
00:19:56,740 --> 00:20:00,870
The M3 is the best, and that is an end of it.  

285
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,310
Now however, BMW claim they have made it even better.

286
00:20:17,620 --> 00:20:20,800
First of all, it is fitted with a 
devise that cuts the engine 

287
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,440
when you stop it is set of lights, 

288
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,420
and then start it again when you set off.  

289
00:20:26,270 --> 00:20:30,880
All on its own, this will solve the Global Warming.

290
00:20:38,610 --> 00:20:40,940
Next, it is available with a matt finish, 

291
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:46,250
which is as cool as buying some skinny jeans, 
and then making an app about them.

292
00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:51,900
There are some drawbacks to this though, 

293
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:58,480
first of all, it costs 1,755. 
I think it is a lot for a bit of paint. 

294
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,740
Plus, you cannot take it in a car-wash or polish it, 

295
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:07,220
and you must remove tree sap, 
dead insects and bird droppings 

296
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:09,300
immediately or you will ruin it. 

297
00:21:10,550 --> 00:21:14,380
So really, you are paying 1700 quid 
for some inconvenience. 

298
00:21:16,650 --> 00:21:21,540
The biggest new feature is what BMW 
call the competition pack. 

299
00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:25,070
This will cost you 3,300. 

300
00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:28,850
For that you get bigger wheels and tyres, 
a lowered ride height 

301
00:21:28,850 --> 00:21:31,630
and one or two other software tweaks designed to 

302
00:21:31,630 --> 00:21:34,460
keep people pointing in vaguely the right direction. 

303
00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:40,700
Or if the mood takes you, 
in completely the wrong direction.

304
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:02,300
I would love to say at this point that 
the competition pack has transformed this car 

305
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:07,600
into a mesmerising blend of God and Uma Thurman. 

306
00:22:08,250 --> 00:22:09,370
But it hasn't. 

307
00:22:10,220 --> 00:22:16,220
Truth be told, most of the time it makes 
absolutely no difference at all. 

308
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,120
In a straight line, it is no faster 
than the standard car. 

309
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,570
Around the bends, 
it feels exactly the same.

310
00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:33,760
Except of course when you 
eventually spin, it will assume 

311
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,290
you have arrived at a set of lights 
and cut the engine.

312
00:22:38,510 --> 00:22:39,980
Why have you done that! 

313
00:22:40,370 --> 00:22:45,170
Nobody arrives at traffic lights 
backwards in a cloud of tyre smoke! 

314
00:22:45,950 --> 00:22:47,840
Stupid thing! 

315
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:56,410
However, with the competition pack, 
you do get one feature that you will notice. 

316
00:22:58,690 --> 00:23:03,940
If you push this little button here, twice, 
you engage sport mode. 

317
00:23:06,290 --> 00:23:08,780
It does not make any difference to the speed you go, 

318
00:23:08,780 --> 00:23:12,520
but it does make the car very uncomfortable. 

319
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,760
I know, for example, this runway is very smooth.

320
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,800
But now it feels like I am driving 
over a teenager's face. 

321
00:23:28,330 --> 00:23:30,780
So there we are. The competition pack. 

322
00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:34,610
You spend 58,000 and what you get in exchange is 

323
00:23:34,610 --> 00:23:41,390
a normal 55,000 M3 with a 
little button that makes it worse. 

324
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:54,890
So what about this? The new Audi RS5. 
This is also 58,000, 

325
00:23:54,890 --> 00:23:59,240
but it does come with many bells 
and a fleet of whistles. 

326
00:24:02,210 --> 00:24:06,190
It has four wheel drive, 
a new mechanical centre differential 

327
00:24:06,190 --> 00:24:11,210
and an electronic gizmo that 
splits the torque between the rear wheels.

328
00:24:11,810 --> 00:24:16,140
Sounds juicy! And that is before we get to the engine. 

329
00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:20,820
A Lamborghini derived 4.2 litre V8. 

330
00:24:24,940 --> 00:24:28,820
Audi has even gone to the trouble of 
fitting the engine with a device that 

331
00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:33,990
fires a droplet of petrol into the hot exhaust 
every time you change gear. 

332
00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:35,360
So, ready?

333
00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:47,570
They are using the planet's resources 
to make changing gear sound nice. I like that.

334
00:24:49,130 --> 00:24:55,080
But can it beat the BMW? Let's find out. 

335
00:24:57,350 --> 00:25:02,050
He has 414 brake horsepower, I have 30 more. 

336
00:25:02,050 --> 00:25:05,320
I am expecting to just cruise by. 

337
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,240
But, the Audi is heavier, and despite the 
high-tech four-wheel drive 

338
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,020
it is nowhere near as good on the corners. 

339
00:25:14,010 --> 00:25:18,950
I will get him on the next one. Oh, dear. 

340
00:25:21,330 --> 00:25:23,720
No matter, I will get him on the braking... 

341
00:25:28,090 --> 00:25:29,940
I won't get him on the braking. Ooh-

342
00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:43,460
er! This is weird, because in all 
fast Audis I can remember, 

343
00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:47,000
the engine has always been way out 
in front of the front axle 

344
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,800
sticking out like Bruce Forsyth's chin. 

345
00:25:51,780 --> 00:25:55,670
In this, they have moved the axle forwards. 

346
00:25:57,940 --> 00:26:02,370
The idea being that that would kill the 
understeer that has always plagued Audis. 

347
00:26:03,870 --> 00:26:07,280
Honestly, it really has not worked. Come on!

348
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,470
Turn! 

349
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,700
The only hope you have of getting past 
is that eventually, 

350
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:21,190
the BMW driver will have to pull over 
to wipe an insect off the bonnet. 

351
00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:31,500
I thought the RS5 would be a modern day 
version of the original Quattro

352
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:34,750
a hardcore, fire spitting monster.

353
00:26:34,750 --> 00:26:39,450
A machine born in the forests, 
rough, brutal and exciting. 

354
00:26:41,260 --> 00:26:45,070
But it is not. 
It is comfortable and relaxing and quiet. 

355
00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:47,100
I am sorry, but if that is what you want, 

356
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:53,070
why spend 58,000 on a four-wheel drive V8?

357
00:27:00,850 --> 00:27:04,200
In short, neither of these cars really works. 

358
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,780
As a result, we are back where we started. 

359
00:27:08,130 --> 00:27:13,340
If you want a small, fast saloon, buy a standard M3.

360
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,940
What is there to applaud? 

361
00:27:24,540 --> 00:27:25,970
Let work this out, shall we. 

362
00:27:25,970 --> 00:27:30,300
A couple of weeks ago, 
you reviewed three cars that no one can buy. 

363
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:33,410
And you have just reviewed two cars 
that no one will want to buy.

364
00:27:33,410 --> 00:27:35,190
I have. Thank you. 

365
00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:38,980
But listen. I have another problem with the 
Audi apart from the ones we have already seen.  

366
00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:42,060
You know Audi's sponsor, Manchester United? 

367
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:46,220
How many people here support 
Manchester United? Hands up.

368
00:27:47,970 --> 00:27:51,250
It is a few, so they think yes we like Audis. 

369
00:27:51,250 --> 00:27:54,820
Now, how many people here hope that 
Manchester United, the entire team, 

370
00:27:54,820 --> 00:27:57,870
catch gonorrhoea and are unable to play ever again?

371
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,520
That is the problem with a car
when its sponsors a football team.  

372
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,180
It automatically means that the vast 
majority of people, my son included, 

373
00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:10,320
he hates Audis! If anyone does not support 
that football team... Exactly! 

374
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,410
I do not want to think that divide bought an Audi, 

375
00:28:12,410 --> 00:28:15,010
any of my money, even a tiny bit, 
is going to Wayne Rooney. 

376
00:28:15,010 --> 00:28:18,140
Or Sir Ferguson. With his chewing-gum.

377
00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:23,760
Anyway, it is now time to find out 
how fast these cars go around our track. 

378
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,940
That, of course, means handing them 
over to our tame racing driver. 

379
00:28:27,940 --> 00:28:34,110
Some say that in his wallet 
he keeps a photograph of his wallet. 

380
00:28:37,580 --> 00:28:43,740
And that in a recent race, 
even he was beaten by The King's Speech. 

381
00:28:44,810 --> 00:28:46,860
All we know is he is called The Stig. 

382
00:28:49,210 --> 00:28:50,710
And they're Off... 

383
00:28:50,710 --> 00:28:54,930
The track is moist and that should favour 
the four-wheel drive Audi. 

384
00:28:54,930 --> 00:29:01,260
Let's see as they come up to the first corner,  
Audi is OK there. 

385
00:29:02,250 --> 00:29:04,790
What about the BMW? 
No, it is getting a bit out of shape. 

386
00:29:04,790 --> 00:29:06,090
A bit squiggly, there.

387
00:29:06,390 --> 00:29:09,870
MUSIC: Tequila! It makes me happy!

388
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:12,660
I have no idea why he is listening to that. 

389
00:29:13,220 --> 00:29:16,000
There we are, the RS5's front end washing out.  

390
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:22,900
The BMW still tail happy. Ok, the Hummerhead. 
Will the Audi follow its nose like a truffle pig? 

391
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,130
It seems to be doing all right.

392
00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:27,820
The tyres are squealing though, 
with that precise Germanic pain.

393
00:29:27,820 --> 00:29:32,150
BMW drifting like a matt painted lunatic.

394
00:29:32,150 --> 00:29:35,750
Tequila! It makes me happy!  

395
00:29:36,830 --> 00:29:39,990
Powering into the follow-through.

396
00:29:40,660 --> 00:29:42,380
The Audi has got its dander up now.  

397
00:29:42,380 --> 00:29:45,260
Through the tyres, not much in it so far. 

398
00:29:45,260 --> 00:29:48,390
Two corners left. Here they come now on the braking, 

399
00:29:48,390 --> 00:29:50,890
the RS5 looking a bit squirrelly there. 

400
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,410
The brakes I must say are not that great on the track. 

401
00:29:53,410 --> 00:29:56,950
They are both slithering through Gambon 
and there we are, across the line.  

402
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:06,720
So the Audi RS5 did it - 1:27:5, so that's there, 
the moist symbol. The competition pack, 

403
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,570
even though it does not have four-wheel drive 
and the track was a bit wet, 

404
00:30:09,570 --> 00:30:14,230
1:26:5, so that goes there. Way faster. 

405
00:30:14,230 --> 00:30:18,520
Yeah but hang on, where is normal M3? 
It is there, so it is not as fast.  

406
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:23,660
The M3 is the best car. It always will be and 
there is no point ever thinking otherwise. 

407
00:30:24,910 --> 00:30:28,830
Now, it is time to put a star 
in our reasonably priced car. 

408
00:30:28,830 --> 00:30:32,560
My guest tonight appears in a new film 
alongside Nicolas Cage, 

409
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,510
one of those films where everything explodes, 
there is a car chase and it is all in 3D.

410
00:30:36,510 --> 00:30:40,600
But she did cause a bit of a row in the office. 

411
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,530
You see, the producers said, you cannot have 
her on because nobody has ever heard of her. 

412
00:30:45,530 --> 00:30:53,300
I said, yes that is true, but she is bisexual. 
And she likes guns and muscle cars. And I won. 

413
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:56,730
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Amber Heard!

414
00:31:15,650 --> 00:31:23,240
Carlsberg do not do guests for chat shows 
but if they did, that is pretty close to perfect. 

415
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,240
Where do we begin? 

416
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,100
I hear that is a good sign. It is a good sign. 

417
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:30,400
I am trying to think of anybody else 
I would rather be sitting and talking to now...

418
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,240
No, can't think of anybody.

419
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,920
The films you have been previously haven't 
really allow you to indulge 

420
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,780
this passion for guns and muscle cars, I guess. 

421
00:31:40,780 --> 00:31:43,650
Really, what was that, 
the Pineapple Express, Zombie Land..

422
00:31:43,650 --> 00:31:47,600
And then what was that one where you're 
pretty much naked throughout? The Informers.

423
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,720
The Informers, I've watched it a lot.

424
00:31:51,420 --> 00:31:53,940
I think that's why people watch it at all, to be honest. 

425
00:31:53,940 --> 00:31:55,950
I am watching it now.  

426
00:31:57,290 --> 00:31:58,900
Come back to me! 

427
00:31:59,370 --> 00:32:04,980
But the new movie, the new movie 
Drive Angie in 3-D, Nicolas Cage, 

428
00:32:04,980 --> 00:32:07,600
this is written with you in mind. 

429
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,750
This movie is so BLEEP cool. It is. 

430
00:32:14,020 --> 00:32:20,460
It's loud guns, fast cars and short shorts on me, 
not Nicolas Cage. 

431
00:32:21,540 --> 00:32:24,550
We have actually got a clip of the film. 
We will show that to you now. 

432
00:32:24,550 --> 00:32:26,010
Let's look at that.

433
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,180
Tell them I'm coming. You're too late.

434
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:33,930
Hell already is walking the earth.  

435
00:32:33,930 --> 00:32:38,190
He broke out of hell to make things right. 

436
00:32:38,190 --> 00:32:41,930
Now he's got one last shot at redemption.

437
00:32:47,670 --> 00:32:50,030
Just so you know I don't pick up hitch-hikers. 

438
00:32:50,030 --> 00:32:51,090
I didn't have my thumb out.

439
00:32:54,170 --> 00:32:56,260
Between now and then I'mma mess you up.

440
00:33:09,510 --> 00:33:12,040
That's got all the things we need. Yeah. 

441
00:33:16,130 --> 00:33:18,800
I drove the BLEEP out of that car. 

442
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:24,220
I did almost all my own stunts and jumping 
out of the car on to the other car I did. 

443
00:33:24,220 --> 00:33:26,350
You did do that? Yeah. That was me. 

444
00:33:26,350 --> 00:33:29,330
Presumably you could get that badly wrong 
and go through the windscreen? 

445
00:33:29,330 --> 00:33:30,670
We have to do it over and over again. 

446
00:33:30,670 --> 00:33:34,900
Doing it once is no problem but doing it ten times -

447
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:38,720
every day I came home with bruises and scrapes. 

448
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,440
That must take forever. It does take a long time. 

449
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,420
So muscle cars, where does this love come from? 

450
00:33:44,420 --> 00:33:48,480
I am from Texas and I think that had 
something to do with it.

451
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,210
It helps being from the south, 
people are obsessed with their cars there. 

452
00:33:52,210 --> 00:33:56,780
Have you got one? 
Yes, I drive a 68 Mustang in LA. That's my car.

453
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,730
You have just grown a third leg. He has. 

454
00:34:10,380 --> 00:34:12,000
Has it always been muscle cars or did you 

455
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,390
go through a period of rabbit or whatever?

456
00:34:14,390 --> 00:34:16,450
I have had everything... 

457
00:34:16,450 --> 00:34:18,570
It's a Golf, stupid idiot! 

458
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,450
Has it always been a love of old American big V8s?  

459
00:34:24,450 --> 00:34:29,780
I have had a 67 Mercedes, a 62 Checker. 
The cab? Yes. 

460
00:34:29,780 --> 00:34:33,310
The Mustang is that in Los Angeles? 
Yes, that's my baby. 

461
00:34:33,310 --> 00:34:38,660
What colour is it? It was cherry red 
until the last time it got stolen. 

462
00:34:38,660 --> 00:34:39,780
It gets stolen a lot.

463
00:34:39,780 --> 00:34:40,950
Why does it get stolen so much, 

464
00:34:40,950 --> 00:34:44,910
I would have thought it was easy to find 
someone driving a 68 Mustang? 

465
00:34:44,910 --> 00:34:48,690
Apparently burglars or 
whatever you call them - car thieves. 

466
00:34:48,690 --> 00:34:50,940
Bustards is another one. 

467
00:34:52,450 --> 00:34:54,180
I like how you say it. 

468
00:34:54,180 --> 00:34:58,050
Anyway, apparently it's easy to 
find for all sorts of people. 

469
00:34:58,050 --> 00:35:04,760
Most people that talk here about car who is 
live in California have bought a Toyota... Prius. 

470
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,390
Why haven't you gone down that route? 

471
00:35:06,390 --> 00:35:10,880
I don't blame people for buying them, 
that's great, smart. 

472
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,680
You have a Prius? I DO NOT have a Prius.

473
00:35:15,380 --> 00:35:17,780
I loath them with an unbridled passion! 

474
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:23,370
When people say I have a Prius because I care, 
I care about the environment, 

475
00:35:23,370 --> 00:35:25,290
shirts made from leaves. 

476
00:35:26,090 --> 00:35:29,700
My shirt is made from leaves. 
Is it? No, no. It's just -

477
00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:36,980
I mean the Nickell for the batteries 
in that thing is mined in Canada 

478
00:35:36,980 --> 00:35:40,740
and it's taken to Norway and go to Japan. 

479
00:35:40,740 --> 00:35:44,530
It's done two and a half million miles 
before you buy it in California. 

480
00:35:44,530 --> 00:35:46,980
I just ram into them in your Mustang if I was you.  

481
00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:49,600
I have done that in a Checker.

482
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,220
hit a Prius? 
I rammed into a couple of them, not just one. 

483
00:35:56,590 --> 00:35:59,490
I would have just laughed. 

484
00:36:01,460 --> 00:36:03,900
We have done cars now. We will move on to guns. 

485
00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:06,970
You are obviously from Texas, 
it's part of the culture there, I guess. 

486
00:36:06,970 --> 00:36:08,380
You grew up with them. 

487
00:36:08,380 --> 00:36:12,810
I grew up around guns, around gun owners and users.

488
00:36:12,810 --> 00:36:16,860
My dad at any given point had several, 
it's the culture. 

489
00:36:16,860 --> 00:36:21,590
I have a gun myself. What sort? A 357 Magnum.  

490
00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:25,170
I have gone again. 

491
00:36:26,740 --> 00:36:30,060
Have you ever fired a machine gun? 
I have. I have actually. 

492
00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:36,240
A automatic weapon, I set fire to 
Arizona once with one of those, 

493
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:42,200
you are just firing away, it's brilliant. 
and oh God, the desert is on fire.  

494
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,020
Great fun. Sounds like you know how to party... 

495
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,480
On that bombshell, it's time to end. 
Thank you for watching, good night.

496
00:36:55,380 --> 00:36:59,960
Obviously, you are from Texas. 
Austin, I believe. Yeah. 

497
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:03,530
I went there once and went to a bar 
called the Broken Spoke. 

498
00:37:03,530 --> 00:37:08,020
Have you been there? I used to square dance.  

499
00:37:08,020 --> 00:37:10,130
You didn't do line dancing? Oh, yeah. 

500
00:37:10,130 --> 00:37:12,920
I am from Texas after all. 

501
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,620
The guy that ran it, I can remember watching, 

502
00:37:14,620 --> 00:37:19,620
we don't have none of that fancy water. 

503
00:37:19,620 --> 00:37:21,070
I think that was my dad. 

504
00:37:22,710 --> 00:37:24,480
So, when you went back to Texas, 

505
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,970
which is a deeply conservative neck of the woods.  

506
00:37:26,970 --> 00:37:27,880
Bible belt. 

507
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,130
And said this is my girlfriend, 

508
00:37:31,390 --> 00:37:35,410
how did it go down? I think that, 
you know, I have always been - 

509
00:37:35,410 --> 00:37:37,660
I used to go to Catholic school and got in trouble 

510
00:37:37,660 --> 00:37:42,110
for the books I read, written by George Orwell... 

511
00:37:42,110 --> 00:37:44,190
You read a George Orwell book in Texas? 

512
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,700
I found myself going against the grain and 

513
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:52,820
I have had to confront preconceived notions 

514
00:37:52,820 --> 00:37:55,250
for what a girl like me should be like

515
00:37:55,250 --> 00:37:58,070
my whole life and I have always been 
myself and done my own thing.

516
00:37:58,070 --> 00:38:01,430
I am surprised you weren't put in an 
electric chair for reading George Orwell? 

517
00:38:01,430 --> 00:38:02,870
Because he is a communist. 

518
00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:04,360
I carry a gun. 

519
00:38:06,950 --> 00:38:10,120
You came here to do your lap wearing those shoes. 

520
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,710
These are my driving shoes.

521
00:38:12,420 --> 00:38:15,260
Did you do a lap in those? They wouldn't let me. 

522
00:38:15,260 --> 00:38:18,210
They made me wear a helmet too, can you believe that?

523
00:38:18,210 --> 00:38:21,090
Made you what? Wear a helmet, with this hair.  

524
00:38:22,870 --> 00:38:26,730
fluffed up nicely. Thank you. I have a good fluffer.

525
00:38:31,740 --> 00:38:36,420
Stig, OK, he was very - 
please don't take this the wrong one, 

526
00:38:36,420 --> 00:38:40,380
he is a very unusual person 
he was very disappointed when you arrived

527
00:38:40,380 --> 00:38:44,240
because he was expecting Thora Hird, 
not Amber. I don't know... 

528
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,040
He has a complete crush on her. He loves her.  

529
00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:54,590
How did you manage to get on 
with our Cee-apostrophe-d? 

530
00:38:54,590 --> 00:38:56,030
It did OK on the track. 

531
00:38:56,030 --> 00:38:59,330
Don't know if it would be my everyday car, 
but it did OK on the track. 

532
00:38:59,330 --> 00:39:03,190
Shall we find out. 
Who would like to see Amber's lap?

533
00:39:04,490 --> 00:39:05,730
Here we go.  

534
00:39:09,380 --> 00:39:11,930
There's no wheel spin. I was trying.

535
00:39:14,380 --> 00:39:19,230
What are you wearing on your hands? 
Gloves. What, driving gloves? 

536
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:23,130
Wow, that's how go through there! 

537
00:39:24,380 --> 00:39:26,060
Not all the road, but not bad. 

538
00:39:26,060 --> 00:39:28,360
Look at those gloves! 

539
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,720
Are you actually a murderer, part time? Yes! 

540
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:35,100
They look like strangler's gloves, to me.

541
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:38,560
This feels very illegal. 
Like it should be illegal. 

542
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,380
No no no, you can drive as fast as 
you like in Britain, you're OK. 

543
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:43,410
There are yellow boxes to record it for you.  

544
00:39:43,410 --> 00:39:45,050
They send you a note of praise. 

545
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,530
That's not bad, a bit of understeer,
not your fault. 

546
00:39:50,140 --> 00:39:51,680
This does not have quite the same intensity 

547
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,450
when you watch it back. No, you're right.

548
00:39:57,140 --> 00:39:59,410
Open your eyes! Keep your eyes open,  

549
00:39:59,410 --> 00:40:01,260
you're not going in that corner.

550
00:40:01,260 --> 00:40:02,660
That looks pretty quick, actually.  

551
00:40:02,660 --> 00:40:07,130
BLEEP. Have a look in here, cut it.

552
00:40:08,020 --> 00:40:09,640
That is quite uncomfortable when you do that. 

553
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,140
Right, coming up, second to last corner. 

554
00:40:11,140 --> 00:40:12,450
This is where most people get it wrong. 

555
00:40:13,510 --> 00:40:14,730
I think you're on the wrong side of the road. 

556
00:40:14,730 --> 00:40:20,180
There we are, in to Gambon, where Tom Cruise 
damn nearly rolled over. 

557
00:40:20,180 --> 00:40:22,670
And there we are, across the line! 

558
00:40:31,950 --> 00:40:35,100
Where do you reckon you have come? I have no idea. 

559
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:38,340
Well, Tom Cruise is 1:44:2. That show-off! 

560
00:40:38,340 --> 00:40:39,720
It was a bit show-offy. 

561
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:42,860
Cameron Diaz, who you probably also know, 
is 1:45:2.

562
00:40:42,860 --> 00:40:51,680
really? Anyway, you did it in one minute, 50.3. 

563
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,680
Which is the slowest dry lap we have ever had! 

564
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,500
Oh no! 

565
00:40:59,020 --> 00:41:00,770
It is a record of sorts! 

566
00:41:05,620 --> 00:41:09,500
The most important thing is that we now 
know you are a beautiful,

567
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:15,350
well read and intelligent, well travelled, 
bisexual gun and muscle car enthusiast. 

568
00:41:15,350 --> 00:41:20,290
Ladies and gentlemen, you really have struck 
lucky this week, Amber Heard!

569
00:41:23,050 --> 00:41:24,980
Thank you.

570
00:41:36,180 --> 00:41:40,240
Right. Now. This evening we solved 
Britain's financial crisis 

571
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:43,460
by making a combine harvester into a snow plough. 

572
00:41:43,460 --> 00:41:47,600
Earlier on in Norway, we used it to 
make a runway on a frozen lake. 

573
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,680
If we are honest, 
things did not go entirely to plan.  

574
00:41:51,550 --> 00:41:55,340
No. The aeroplane that we landed 
sort of crashed a bit, 

575
00:41:55,340 --> 00:41:58,620
but never mind that.  
We pick up the action later that same evening, 

576
00:41:58,620 --> 00:42:02,290
heading for a nearby town, 
where Jeremy was very keen 

577
00:42:02,290 --> 00:42:05,360
to try out a de-icing he fitted.  

578
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:17,820
I am the God of hellfire and I bring you fire! Yes!  

579
00:42:20,590 --> 00:42:24,210
"As we entered the town, 
we all went to action stations. 

580
00:42:24,210 --> 00:42:25,930
I turning the Bovril on. 

581
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,000
Hammond! You have got good grit! 

582
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,770
"Unfortunately, communications were a bit ropey".

583
00:42:40,630 --> 00:42:42,910
Stop! Stop we've hit a building!  

584
00:42:42,910 --> 00:42:45,360
Fans are on, going forward.

585
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,600
stop! Stop Stop Stop! James, James stop! 

586
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:55,420
No, do not stop. Drive! Drive! 
Just drive away, James.

587
00:42:55,420 --> 00:42:57,040
He did it! He did it!  

588
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,770
"Annoyingly, it was a dead end, 

589
00:42:58,770 --> 00:43:01,330
so James had to do a three-point turn,  

590
00:43:01,330 --> 00:43:04,430
which he is not that good at in a normal car". 

591
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:09,680
Stop stop stop! 

592
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:15,000
"If I am honest, Jeremy and I were not much help". 

593
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:19,950
Hard left, hard left. Up to the right. 

594
00:43:19,950 --> 00:43:22,310
Not now, wait until the top of the slope! 
Not now!  

595
00:43:24,970 --> 00:43:29,200
Maybe straighten up now. I have also had a wee.  

596
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,220
Can you give me sort of clear instructions 
rather than a load of hysteria? 

597
00:43:33,220 --> 00:43:35,160
I have no idea what is going on.

598
00:43:36,870 --> 00:43:39,870
"After much palaver, we finally broke free". 

599
00:43:41,020 --> 00:43:44,560
We have damaged it quite badly at the back. 
And that house. 

600
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:49,440
But it is OK, because we have gritted 
at least 30 ft of road.  

601
00:43:55,230 --> 00:43:58,420
"On the High Street, we had yet more success".  

602
00:44:03,910 --> 00:44:07,760
I am in a Ford Sierra Cosworth 
seat with a flamethrower. 

603
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,960
It is not possible to be happier than that. 

604
00:44:12,430 --> 00:44:14,590
Here we go, burning the bank! 

605
00:44:14,590 --> 00:44:18,310
We are gritting, we are flame throwing, 

606
00:44:18,310 --> 00:44:22,160
we have done a bit of ploughing, it is all marvellous. 

607
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,580
We are International Rescue. We are Thunderbirds!  

608
00:44:27,580 --> 00:44:31,570
Cruising through Norway, 
looking for people who need our services.  

609
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,770
I have to do the three-point turn now chaps, 
we are at the end. 

610
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,080
I will provide the rear lighting. 

611
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,920
It is like a reversing light, this. kind of. 

612
00:44:43,620 --> 00:44:48,540
When Jeremy fires his flame-thrower, 
I can see a little bit in that mirror. 

613
00:44:48,540 --> 00:44:52,010
Keeps going backwards James. 

614
00:44:52,010 --> 00:44:54,800
Oh look! No, no!  

615
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,540
Look what I have done! What have you done! 

616
00:44:57,450 --> 00:44:59,490
Go Go Go!  

617
00:44:59,490 --> 00:45:02,610
"Again, There was only one thing to do." 

618
00:45:02,610 --> 00:45:07,330
Are we running away? 
I have no idea what is happening.

619
00:45:09,500 --> 00:45:12,420
"After much driving around and doing things, 

620
00:45:12,420 --> 00:45:15,300
we were hungry, and the tank was empty". 

621
00:45:16,220 --> 00:45:19,120
Dive in here for fuel and a bag of crisps 
and then we will carry on. 

622
00:45:23,420 --> 00:45:26,060
Does he realise how much the back swings out!? 

623
00:45:27,220 --> 00:45:30,570
I am going to clear this thing of snow for them,

624
00:45:30,570 --> 00:45:31,730
that will make them happy. 

625
00:45:31,730 --> 00:45:32,830
Watch this! 

626
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:36,430
Cock! 

627
00:45:40,030 --> 00:45:41,000
Why have we stopped?

628
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,430
I was trying to clear that thing of snow 
but it has got a car in it. 

629
00:45:45,620 --> 00:45:48,640
-雷锋没学成，变雷人了O(∩_∩)O-
I was going to be helpful and clear that, 
there was a car in it. 

630
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,570
A car? The whole thing was covered in snow. 
I thought it was a pile of snow.

631
00:45:51,570 --> 00:45:55,290
It is not covered in snow! 
Not any more, you moron! It was! 

632
00:45:55,290 --> 00:45:57,620
Why did you ram a car? He rammed into a car! 

633
00:45:57,620 --> 00:45:59,770
I was trying to be helpful!

634
00:45:59,770 --> 00:46:01,620
"There was only one thing to do".  

635
00:46:01,620 --> 00:46:04,140
Go, go. Run away, run away. 

636
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,660
"So far then, we had crashed a plane, 
ruined a car, burned a sign 

637
00:46:11,660 --> 00:46:15,900
and smashed a house. Then, things got worse".

638
00:46:19,820 --> 00:46:25,260
Hang on, my flame-thrower is jammed! 
The flame-thrower is jammed! 

639
00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:27,830
So what are you doing? 

640
00:46:29,820 --> 00:46:33,040
I can see a yellow mist in the mirror.

641
00:46:36,190 --> 00:46:37,380
There is a man on fire! 

642
00:46:37,970 --> 00:46:40,320
James, Jeremy has set fire to a skier. Run away.

643
00:46:42,690 --> 00:46:45,190
I think that if we do get reported to the police, 

644
00:46:45,190 --> 00:46:48,030
it will not take them very long to find us.

645
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,410
"Still, as we were not actually 
being stoned by an angry mob, 

646
00:46:52,410 --> 00:46:55,850
we went to bed that night feeling quite cheerful. 

647
00:46:57,660 --> 00:47:00,760
However, the next morning, there was bad news.

648
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,790
What does it actually say? Is it upbeat? 

649
00:47:10,790 --> 00:47:13,110
I do not think it is going to be upbeat, is it? 

650
00:47:14,020 --> 00:47:18,160
HE ATTEMPTS TO READ THE NORWEGIAN ARTICLE OUTLOUD.

651
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,370
"An incredibly small man knocked my house"?... 

652
00:47:21,370 --> 00:47:23,070
Good morning! 

653
00:47:23,630 --> 00:47:24,670
We are in the paper.  

654
00:47:26,100 --> 00:47:28,610
It says what a good service we provided? 

655
00:47:28,610 --> 00:47:30,140
We cleared the snow and... No. 

656
00:47:30,140 --> 00:47:34,260
"A man who looked like a dog 
crashed into one of my trees", 

657
00:47:34,260 --> 00:47:36,650
I do not think it is a good idea to stay here any more. 

658
00:47:36,650 --> 00:47:38,270
Can I make a suggestion? Yes. 

659
00:47:38,270 --> 00:47:40,550
Since this is a sort of prototype and we are testing it, 

660
00:47:40,550 --> 00:47:42,820
why don't we go and test it on a country road 

661
00:47:42,820 --> 00:47:46,210
where there is just snow? No people.

662
00:47:46,210 --> 00:47:48,880
No people or cars or buildings 
or trees or benches, 

663
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,710
let's just try and clear some snow.  

664
00:47:52,420 --> 00:47:56,080
"This was a good idea. 
So we fired up the dominator and 

665
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:01,050
headed for a road so remote, even the Nors
had abandoned it to the weather. 

666
00:48:05,390 --> 00:48:09,670
A mountain pass called 
'the road of terror', probably".  

667
00:48:13,430 --> 00:48:17,250
If we can open this one road...

668
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,400
have proven the work of 
this machine, internationally. 

669
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,630
And I think we will be forgiven for all the small things 

670
00:48:24,630 --> 00:48:25,500
we have done wrong.

671
00:48:25,500 --> 00:48:29,030
The man on fire, houses, the car and the sign.

672
00:48:31,990 --> 00:48:36,300
"Eventually, we arrived at the gates of a frozen hell".

673
00:48:37,550 --> 00:48:39,760
One of a problems we found yesterday was that 

674
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,990
you tend to get snow sticking to the plough,  

675
00:48:41,990 --> 00:48:44,250
building up and it does not work as well. 

676
00:48:44,250 --> 00:48:48,080
So, an idea that I had is 
to cover the plough itself 

677
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,470
in a mixture of oil and diesel. 

678
00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:52,820
I am now doing it, because it is my idea.

679
00:48:52,820 --> 00:48:54,200
He is claiming it is his idea. 

680
00:48:55,870 --> 00:48:59,600
I happen to know he was talking to a 
snowplough driver in the bar last night. 

681
00:49:00,940 --> 00:49:02,200
Nothing is going to stick to that.  

682
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,050
"With the preparations done, we set off ". 

683
00:49:11,940 --> 00:49:13,520
Come on, dominator!  

684
00:49:15,060 --> 00:49:19,410
"Our destination was a desolate 
hamlet 10 kilometres away". 

685
00:49:21,590 --> 00:49:23,060
Look at that. 

686
00:49:24,530 --> 00:49:28,780
Boldly ploughing where no Norwegian 
has ploughed so far this winter. 

687
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,760
This is a 1980s machine, so that is a cassette player. 

688
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,010
Do you think James is getting lonely downthere? 
He will love it. 

689
00:49:41,010 --> 00:49:46,110
And I bet 10 million he is fantasising 
about a being a lone skipper 

690
00:49:46,110 --> 00:49:50,350
of some weather battered trawler 
out in the North Sea. 

691
00:49:50,350 --> 00:49:55,770
A lone skipper, but with one quite 
attractive man in the galley.  

692
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,360
"With the oiled plough siding 
nicely through the snow,

693
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,730
Jeremy and I swung into action."  

694
00:50:13,930 --> 00:50:16,110
Burn Baby Burn! 

695
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:27,060
The gritting is going well, Hammond. 

696
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:44,730
I have lost my wedding ring! 

697
00:50:44,730 --> 00:50:47,350
What? I have lost my wedding ring!

698
00:50:48,550 --> 00:50:50,460
Has it gone in the thing? It must have done. 

699
00:50:53,210 --> 00:50:55,120
That is a tricky one to explain.  

700
00:50:56,710 --> 00:51:00,890
"Soon though, we had bigger things to 
worry about than Hammond's ring". 

701
00:51:00,890 --> 00:51:01,680
Oh, hang on. 

702
00:51:05,070 --> 00:51:07,580
What was that? I nearly went through the windscreen. 

703
00:51:08,380 --> 00:51:11,610
"But a snowy hillock was no match 
for the dominator". 

704
00:51:12,420 --> 00:51:13,810
Take this, snow.  

705
00:51:15,150 --> 00:51:17,230
Charge! 

706
00:51:21,670 --> 00:51:22,680
We're through!

707
00:51:26,050 --> 00:51:29,860
"However, while the battering ram was OK 
in this lonely place, 

708
00:51:33,720 --> 00:51:36,400
the rear wheel steering was a nightmare".

709
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,540
Oh no, no no no! A tank slapper. 

710
00:51:45,290 --> 00:51:47,290
Don't do it! It has got a mind of its own!

711
00:51:48,590 --> 00:51:51,890
"On the hills, we had a serious power shortage". 

712
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,400
James, is that full-speed? Yes it is. 

713
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:06,280
We are stuck.  

714
00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:09,310
If you think about it, a combine harvester was designed 

715
00:52:09,310 --> 00:52:13,160
to never work in the snow, 
or the rain, or on a hill. 

716
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,790
It is always flat ground 
on lovely summer's evenings. 

717
00:52:16,340 --> 00:52:18,210
It is out of its comfort zone here.  

718
00:52:19,030 --> 00:52:21,710
"Which meant that sadly, so was I".

719
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,250
He will want the Victoria Cross now, 
for using a shovel. 

720
00:52:30,250 --> 00:52:31,320
He will. 

721
00:52:33,970 --> 00:52:36,260
Will I just raise the plough 
and take his head off? Yes. 

722
00:52:36,260 --> 00:52:38,570
Oh, for god's sake!

723
00:52:40,450 --> 00:52:43,510
"Each kilometre was now a growing challenge. 

724
00:52:47,580 --> 00:52:51,280
My ingenious snow measuring tactic 
did not go brilliantly". 

725
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,750
"But the Top Gear snowbine kept on moving". 

726
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:02,640
Go! Full power! 

727
00:53:09,050 --> 00:53:11,260
Look at us carving a path. Look, that is ours.

728
00:53:12,820 --> 00:53:16,560
This road is open and will remain 
so until it snows again! 

729
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:20,300
Tonight, probably. Or tomorrow. 

730
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:27,540
'Warning - the Top Gear Snowbine 
Harvester is approaching!'  

731
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,570
This is really annoying. 
For the first time in my life 

732
00:53:30,570 --> 00:53:34,740
I have one of these Tannoy things and 
there is absolutely nobody to talk to.  

733
00:53:40,070 --> 00:53:42,020
James, there is one kilometre to go! 

734
00:53:42,020 --> 00:53:45,510
One more kilometre and this road is open. 

735
00:53:46,460 --> 00:53:49,060
Who fancies a celebratory Bovril, when we get there? 

736
00:53:50,420 --> 00:53:53,520
Unless Bovril is a code word for something dirty, 
I do not want to do that. 

737
00:53:54,870 --> 00:53:57,130
Hang on, getting a bit of a tank slapper. 

738
00:53:57,130 --> 00:53:58,840
It is wandering off! 

739
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,130
Oh no! 

740
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:09,490
BLEEP. 

741
00:54:10,420 --> 00:54:14,510
"This time, we had come off the road 
and into a massive snowdrift". 

742
00:54:19,730 --> 00:54:22,040
Jesus wept. That is a lot of snow. 

743
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,850
The snow out here, that we are in, is incredibly deep. 

744
00:54:26,850 --> 00:54:28,840
Yes, that is what I feared.  

745
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,190
It felt quite deep as it went off the edge. 

746
00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:35,730
You can see the extent of the problem is quite big. 

747
00:54:35,730 --> 00:54:41,270
A whole machine is... BLEEP.  

748
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,050
"So, one wheel was stuck and 
one was spinning uselessly". 

749
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:47,600
Full power! 

750
00:54:54,090 --> 00:54:54,880
It is not going to do it.

751
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,880
"Spurred on by the previous day's failures, 
we dug furiously". 

752
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,690
Just for once, I want to do something properly. 

753
00:55:10,710 --> 00:55:15,230
I want to clear this road and do it. 
No cocking about. 

754
00:55:22,820 --> 00:55:26,300
This is coming out. Do not rock it back. Now forwards! 

755
00:55:28,290 --> 00:55:29,970
That feels abusive. 

756
00:55:32,310 --> 00:55:34,960
I am wearing the clutch out, 
hang on, it is starting to smell. 

757
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,300
Do not stop, James!  

758
00:55:37,300 --> 00:55:39,940
"With darkness falling and the temperature dropping, 

759
00:55:39,940 --> 00:55:42,610
this was no time for mechanical sympathy". 

760
00:55:43,090 --> 00:55:44,850
Come on, James. We can do this.  

761
00:55:51,620 --> 00:55:53,980
Nearly! Power! 

762
00:56:00,550 --> 00:56:04,400
Yes, come on! Come on! 

763
00:56:08,550 --> 00:56:12,500
Yes! Yes! Yes! That's it, climb aboard.  

764
00:56:15,170 --> 00:56:17,760
"The dominator surged forwards.

765
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,350
Soon, our destination hoved into view. 

766
00:56:28,870 --> 00:56:33,580
We are so nearly there. Look at that! 

767
00:56:37,240 --> 00:56:42,810
That is a blaze of glory! 
Blaze of glory, grit and Bovril.

768
00:56:45,330 --> 00:56:50,190
Ladies and gentlemen the Top Gear 
snowbine harvester has arrived.

769
00:56:52,020 --> 00:56:53,360
"And so, there we are. 

770
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,470
For once in our wretched lives on this programme, 

771
00:56:56,470 --> 00:56:59,970
we had actually done what we set out to do". 

772
00:57:01,470 --> 00:57:05,330
You know what? What? 
We have been ambitious and brilliant, 

773
00:57:05,330 --> 00:57:07,880
and it is all thanks to the dominator. 
Successful.  

774
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,080
Gentleman, it has been a 
pleasure ploughing with you. 

775
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,590
It has been a joy and an honour. 

776
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:13,860
That was the right road, wasn't it?

777
00:57:19,700 --> 00:57:22,560
We did something! We were actually good! 

778
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,180
I can hardly believe it 
but it is true, that's weird.

779
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,050
Some conclusions we can draw from 
our outstanding success, there. 

780
00:57:33,050 --> 00:57:36,900
Britain has 3700 snow ploughs and gritters, 

781
00:57:36,900 --> 00:57:40,980
and spends 160 million per year clearing snow. 

782
00:57:40,980 --> 00:57:45,180
Obviously, that is not enough because 
every time there is a light flurry, 

783
00:57:45,180 --> 00:57:47,320
everything shuts down and closes. 

784
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,620
That is why our idea makes so much sense because 

785
00:57:49,620 --> 00:57:53,390
there are 15,000 combine harvesters in Britain. 

786
00:57:53,390 --> 00:57:56,380
All it takes to convert them 
into snowploughs is a spanner 

787
00:57:56,380 --> 00:57:57,880
and a couple of burly men. 

788
00:57:58,730 --> 00:58:00,630
Well, the gritter bit was a bit more complicated. 

789
00:58:00,630 --> 00:58:02,830
And the flame-thrower. 
I am not sure you need that.

790
00:58:02,830 --> 00:58:05,720
you do. It is brilliant. 
It is a good reversing light. 

791
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,720
You set fire to a man. No, I did not! 

792
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,960
He spontaneously combusted 
as we were driving by. 

793
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,480
It was incredible. 
I have never seen anything like it.

794
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,190
Anyway, the important thing is that 
our dominator was an old machine.

795
00:58:19,190 --> 00:58:22,100
If we used one of the more modern 
ones with more power, 

796
00:58:22,100 --> 00:58:25,580
especially if it had four-wheel drive, 
it would be brilliant. 

797
00:58:25,580 --> 00:58:26,410
It would. 

798
00:58:26,410 --> 00:58:30,150
There we are, we have succeed 
where the Bank of England has failed.

799
00:58:30,150 --> 00:58:33,220
We have solved the country's financial crisis.

800
00:58:33,220 --> 00:58:35,260
And I think we will get marquises now.

801
00:58:35,260 --> 00:58:36,410
I suspect so, yes.

802
00:58:36,410 --> 00:58:39,000
So on that bombshell, it's time to end.

803
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,480
Thank you very much for watching, good night.

9999
