1
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,360
APPLAUSE
2
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,120
Thank you!
3
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,680
Hello and welcome to Top Gear.
4
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,440
Later on, we're driving the new,
all-electric Porsche.
5
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,320
But we kick off by talking
about America, land of the free
6
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,120
and home of the XXXL T-shirt.
7
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,720
SCATTERED LAUGHTER
8
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,120
Thank you.
9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,000
For ages now, we've been pestering
the producers
10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,240
to send us on a proper big
American driving adventure.
11
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,200
Oh, yes, America, the home
of the original road trip -
12
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,320
diners, drive-thrus, Route 66,
muscle cars, all that stuff.
13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,520
And to our great surprise,
the producers said, OK,
14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,800
you want to do the original American
road trip, no problem.
15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,200
They gave us each �5,000
and told us to go online
16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,600
and buy our ultimate American
road trip car.
17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,520
But here's thing,
they told us to buy them...in Peru.
18
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,680
Forget Route 66.
19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,720
The first roads in America were
built by the Incas...
20
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,680
..who, over 500 years ago,
21
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,520
created a 25,000-mile network
branching out across South America.
22
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,680
The Incan capital,
and the point from which
23
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,520
this remarkable feat
of engineering began,
24
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,560
was the Peruvian city of Cusco.
25
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,240
Which, we'd been told,
26
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,280
would now be the start
of our original American road trip.
27
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,720
Now, obviously, this is
the producers' idea of a joke -
28
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,240
but the joke's on them,
because it turns out
29
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,960
you can buy a whole load of cool
old American gear in Peru.
30
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,040
Now, I've gone for a Dodge Dart,
classic '60s Americana.
31
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,840
Big V8, rear-wheel drive.
32
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,200
It's about three feet longer
than it needs to be.
33
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,640
It's just road-trip heaven
for me, this.
34
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:32,400
Now, where is everybody else?
Where are they?
35
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,760
Oh, here we go.
36
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,440
Here we go!
37
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,920
Jeez, this looks a bit tight.
38
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:40,840
Oh, you're going to hit that.
39
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,880
What's he doing now?
40
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,040
Oh.
41
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,880
Yes, thank you very much, thank you.
42
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,920
All right, Chris?
43
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,320
Where's he going?
44
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,080
Not a great turning circle.
45
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,640
Oh, no, I'm with you, Fred.
46
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:57,920
CLANKING
47
00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:59,600
It's a tricky gearbox, as well.
48
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,360
Bring her in, bring her in.
49
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,920
Not that fast.
50
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:05,200
Eh?
51
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,240
OK.
52
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,800
That is very pretty, Fred.
53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,600
A Type 2 Volkswagen.
54
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,600
Camper, Kombi, Microbus -
call this thing what you want,
55
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,040
it's just a legend.
56
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,320
You do know the e-mail
said American road trip...
57
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,120
- Yeah. - ..not German camping?
58
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,240
When you go on a road trip,
it's about freedom.
59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Nothing says freedom like a VW bus.
60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,320
You imagine this, West Coast,
California, surfboards on the roof.
61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,160
Not that I surf.
62
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,680
It's not an AMERICAN road-trip car,
63
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,680
but it is an American road-trip car.
64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Do you know what?
I've always wanted one of these.
65
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,120
I've always wanted to drive one
and never had the chance.
66
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,680
- It's cool. - It's cool.
67
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,600
And, to me, the drivers of these,
they just spread peace, love.
68
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,680
- I'm getting into it.
- All right, let's not push it.
69
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, peace and love, Chris.
70
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,640
Are you saying that I'll lose some
anger if I spend time in that?
71
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,960
If you sat in this, the
angry little man would disappear.
72
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,360
- I don't think he would.
- You'd just be a happy little fella.
73
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,600
But I'm willing to try it.
I think we've done well here.
74
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,440
- This is the Dodge Dart, by the way,
welcome to the Dart. - I love Darts.
75
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,360
Let's have a look.
In the context of peace and harmony,
76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,040
I actually really like this, Chris.
77
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,800
I love an American muscle car,
I really do.
78
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,640
Well, they're built for you, aren't
they? They're about your size.
79
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,120
I look like I'm driving my
dad's car,
80
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,840
but this looks like
it's actually for you.
81
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:21,440
Look at the size of
the steering wheel.
82
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,720
HORN HONKS
83
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,280
- And what's this turning up here?
- Oh, my...
84
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,000
Yeehaw!
85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,880
HORN HONKS
86
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,680
Howdy, partners!
87
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,880
How you rootin' tootin' dootin'?
88
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,040
What?
89
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,480
CHRIS LAUGHS
90
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,400
- I don't know what to say! - Americana.
- I don't know what to say. - Exactly.
91
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,680
It's more Tropicana, mate.
92
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,160
Pontiac Firebird, boys.
93
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,800
Two of me favourite things
growing up -
94
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,520
Smokey And The Bandit
and Knight Rider.
95
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,200
This were the star of both, end of.
96
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,440
The only bandit is the bloke
who sold you that thing.
97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,360
Nothing wrong with this.
Fantastic car.
98
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,880
It's times like this
I wish I couldn't see colour.
99
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,320
What's wrong with you?
100
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,320
This looks like it's been painted
by the people who drive your car.
101
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,640
Don't worry about mine.
102
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,560
Pontiac Firebird.
103
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,080
Did they ever make a convertible?
104
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,680
The more I work with this fella,
105
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,120
the more I'm impressed by
his car knowledge.
106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,720
But I think this one might have
slipped under your radar, Chris.
107
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,200
This is a very rare,
South American version.
108
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,640
It's a DIY job, innit?
109
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,680
- Yeah. - Yeah.
110
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,160
If you want to... Yeah.
111
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,280
Can you read out the name
of your tyres to us, please?
112
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:30,400
Oh, glad you asked.
113
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,280
- Happy Gallop. - What? - Happy Gallop.
114
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:37,480
Doesn't that make you feel good?
The sun's out, got me cowy hat on.
115
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,080
I tell you, life's good, boys.
116
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,200
It's going to be good adventure,
this.
117
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Ah, howdy. Thank you.
118
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,600
Challenge.
119
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,680
"Welcome to your original
American road trip.
120
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,840
"You will now travel from Cusco
to the Vilcabamba mountains,
121
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:56,160
"the end of the road for the Incas."
122
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,720
- The Vilcacamp... What? - What?
123
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,880
Vilcabamba.
124
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,960
- Right. - That's what it says, boys.
125
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,880
We're at Costco at the moment? Are
we going to buy some cheap crockery?
126
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,480
- No, we're not at Costco.
- Where are we?
127
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680
- We're in Cusco.
- Cusco, as opposed to where?
128
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,160
Home of the topless Pontiac.
129
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,920
- Great. - I hope it rains.
130
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,600
- Let's do it. - I hope it rains.
131
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,320
It's not going to rain here!
132
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,520
It's got no fold-up roof, has it?
133
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,840
It's not needed. Not needed.
134
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:23,200
Right, let's get out of here.
135
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,000
Paddy, can you drive at the back
so we don't have to look at that?
136
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,560
Hey, saddle up, partner!
137
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,560
ENGINE ROARS
138
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,520
Whoa!
139
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,040
Whoa-ho-ho!
140
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,160
Yes, our original American road trip
would take us west,
141
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,360
across the Peruvian Highlands,
through the Andes,
142
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,760
to the last refuge
of the Incan Empire.
143
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,040
It would be a journey
144
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,640
across some of the toughest, highest
terrain we'd ever encountered...
145
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,760
..but heading out of Cusco,
we were feeling confident.
146
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,800
All right, girls?
HORN HONKS
147
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,480
Everybody loves a Pontiac.
148
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,960
Yeah, it's loud and it's brash,
149
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,040
but that's what these American
muscle cars are supposed to be.
150
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,280
They're not supposed to be subtle
and understated,
151
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,280
they're supposed to be loud
and in your face and...
152
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,520
..and modded up.
153
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,040
I mean, this car was in Smokey And
The Bandit, Burt Reynolds drove it.
154
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,040
I mean, not exactly
this particular one,
155
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,200
because his had a roof on
and mine's had the roof taken off.
156
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,720
But if you want to outrun the
sheriff, you want to be in this.
157
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,280
V8, five litres, what's not to like?
158
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,120
This is gorgeous, this thing.
159
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,040
V8, loads of torque,
big steering wheel, comfy seat,
160
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,320
elbow on the door.
161
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,520
I mean, the Americans had
it right in the '60s.
162
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,240
This is just relaxed motoring.
163
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,280
I love it.
164
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,240
I reckon I bought
the perfect car for this trip.
165
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,720
And I got to tell you,
since I started driving it,
166
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400
I have not stopped smiling.
167
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,280
No wonder the hippies have 'em.
168
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,760
These are inclusive.
169
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,160
Get in, come and join us.
170
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,400
Come on me adventure.
171
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,200
Not in a dogging way, in a nice way.
172
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,280
Now, our adventure had been going
for about 20 minutes.
173
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,640
CLANKING
174
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,680
Oh, God.
175
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,880
Which, unfortunately
for the Bandit...
176
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,760
Oh, God.
177
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,680
..was all the time his Firebird
needed to go wrong.
178
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:36,960
I don't think it's going to
get round here.
179
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,840
TYRES SCREECH
180
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Oh!
181
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,040
Don't know what he's playing at.
182
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,920
That doesn't feel right.
183
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,720
Feels like me wheel's coming off.
184
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,960
Is that coming out of Paddy's...?
185
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,200
Yeah, that's coming out Paddy's car.
186
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,680
Pad, you've got quite a bit of
liquid coming out of your car now.
187
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,440
Out of mine?
188
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,040
Yeah, lots of it. Pull over.
189
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,400
That's it.
190
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Oh, yeah. That's not good.
191
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,120
How many miles have we done?
192
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,560
It's not very Firebird-esque,
is it?
193
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:12,840
The grin from your face
has gone pretty quick!
194
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,880
Right. Give it a minute.
195
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,520
Waiting for the Firebird
to simmer down,
196
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,800
Fred went in search of refreshments.
197
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Oh, lovely!
198
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,440
- What have you got,
what have you got? - Thank you, sir.
199
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,600
Hey, lads, you know what this is?
200
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,720
- This is a South American
version of a Mini Milk. - Is it?
201
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,040
And have you got a head gasket
for a Firebird?
202
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,600
- Doesn't need a head gasket.
- Mate, that is cooked.
203
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,480
Luckily, though, it looked like
the previous owner
204
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,360
might have had this happen before.
205
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,160
Agua!
206
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,680
And with the Pontiac's
radiator topped back up...
207
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:47,280
Good as new, boys!
208
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,720
..we got back on the road.
209
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,200
Here we go.
210
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,440
ENGINE SPINS, THEN FIRES
211
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,480
Oh, God.
212
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,640
This is the trouble with buying
things off the internet.
213
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,760
Looks fantastic.
214
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,560
Underneath...
215
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:05,200
..absolute bag of spanners.
216
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:09,800
Ah, I've been overtaken
by a Hyundai.
217
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,960
Oh, the indignity!
218
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,280
And, in no time at all...
219
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,720
Right...
220
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,360
Full up.
221
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Slightly staccato start
to the trip, then,
222
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,720
but at least the Dart and I were
settling into life on the road.
223
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,960
This is lovely.
224
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,680
I've got snow-capped peaks
ahead of me,
225
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:44,840
a V8 burbling away
in front of my legs,
226
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,440
occasionally I find a gear.
227
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,440
What's the cornering like?
228
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,800
Not too bad.
229
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,080
Brakes, well they are very...
230
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,320
BRAKES SCREECH
231
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,400
Whoa, yeah, they're quite sharp.
232
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,840
Wiper.
233
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,920
WIPERS SCREECH
234
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,680
Go on, son! Go on, son!
235
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,000
They...
236
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,560
WIPERS SCREECH
237
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,320
Ah, now, that one's just fallen off.
238
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Just as well, then,
that there was no sign of rain.
239
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,400
THUNDERCLAPS
240
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,960
The weather's turned.
241
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,600
So pleased I'm in this car.
242
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,200
Blimey O'Reilly.
243
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,400
Windows up.
244
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,200
THUNDERCLAP
245
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,760
You're not too wet, are you, Paddy?
Are you all right?
246
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Jesus!
247
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,520
Single wiper set-up
works brilliantly.
248
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,240
Yes, wiper!
249
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,520
Oh, no!
250
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,320
Thankfully, the storm soon cleared
251
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,280
and a little further up the road,
252
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,960
Harris had an idea to get us back
into the American road trip spirit.
253
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,920
Lads, straight road!
254
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,800
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
255
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,800
What, pull in and get a change
of underwear and some dry clothing?
256
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,760
That shouts speed.
257
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Drag race, come on.
258
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,720
Let's do it.
259
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,160
Yes, with the producers
closing off the road,
260
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,160
it was time for a classic
quarter-mile drag race.
261
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,800
And, giving the Firebird
some more time to cool off,
262
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,960
first up it would be
Dodge versus VW.
263
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,840
ENGINE ROARS LOUDLY
264
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,200
All right!
265
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,320
You're against a VW bus!
266
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,120
Can't hear you, Fred!
267
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,720
ENGINE ROARS LOUDLY
268
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,840
OK, gentlemen,
269
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,240
quarter of a mile drag race,
270
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,400
the winner takes on The Bandit.
271
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,560
All right.
272
00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:00,000
Three, two, one.
273
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Go.
274
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Oh, go on the Dart!
275
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,840
Well, there goes Harris.
276
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,920
She's flying! She's flying!
277
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,520
She's flying across the line...
278
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,880
Oh!
279
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,040
Over the line.
280
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,200
The worrying thing is,
281
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,120
that camper van looks like it
set off quicker than I will.
282
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,000
Understandably concerned
for his Firebird's performance,
283
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,920
McGuinness snuck in
a practice start.
284
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,680
ENGINE CHUGS
285
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:39,160
Come on, son, hurry up.
286
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,480
Yeehaw!
287
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,320
LOUD BANG SOUNDS
288
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,440
What the...?
289
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,360
FREDDIE LAUGHS
290
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:56,720
That's not good.
291
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,160
That's not good.
292
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,800
I...
293
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,840
Was there a pothole in the road?
294
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,080
FREDDIE AND CHRIS LAUGH
295
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,000
Erm, there appears to be no wheel.
296
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Oh, Paddy.
297
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,680
What...
298
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:15,200
..the...?
299
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,640
How much did you give for this?
300
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,800
- He's had me over, boys.
- I think he has. I mean...
301
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,400
He's had me over.
302
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,280
It looked quite violent
from the inside.
303
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,720
- You were rodeo...
- Oh, I need to see my...
304
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,000
..rootin' tootin' chiropractor.
305
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,760
To end up in this
bright orange car...
306
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,520
The wheels have fallen off!
307
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,720
If there was ever
the perfect metaphor!
308
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,200
CHRIS LAUGHS
309
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,160
This is it, the wheels are off!
310
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,640
CHRIS LAUGHS
311
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,640
I'm gutted about the Firebird.
312
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Gutted.
313
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,080
It had been a tough day
for McGuinness,
314
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,000
and what he really needed now
was a bit of sympathy.
315
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,880
Paddy, let's just recap
on your day so far.
316
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720
You turn up in a bright orange car,
317
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,400
you then get soaking wet,
318
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,960
because you got rid of the roof,
319
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,640
and to top it all off...
320
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,920
..the wheels have fallen off.
321
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,080
Oh, sorry.
322
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,320
You stupid BLEEP.
323
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,560
CHRIS LAUGHS
324
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,000
Do you think
it was the right car to buy?
325
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,840
Should we demonstrate
the brakes again?
326
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,640
Not really.
327
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,160
- You are going to do, aren't you?
- No, I'm not going to do that.
328
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,240
BRAKES SQUEAL
329
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,160
Stupid BLEEP!
330
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,040
Look at that.
331
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,240
I've not got enough whiplash!
332
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,840
CHRIS LAUGHS
333
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,960
And if you carry on, I will throw
some water on you as we drive.
334
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,240
I'm just saying.
335
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,480
So, do not start.
336
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,480
You're getting it.
337
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,360
CHRIS LAUGHS
338
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,240
You're getting it. That's that.
339
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,600
Now...
340
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,800
You've asked for that.
341
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,800
Fred, it's gone downhill
a bit in here.
342
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,400
- Why? - I'm less dry than I was.
343
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,960
Oh, is he throwing water around,
or is it his tears?
344
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,080
No...
345
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,480
Anyhow...
346
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,080
- I'd just like to say... - Oh, God.
347
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,320
..welcome to the Dart.
348
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,160
Yeah. Thanks for having me.
349
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,640
Really pleased.
350
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,120
Now down to just two cars,
the producers told us
351
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,480
to head to the nearby
town of Chinchero,
352
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,280
where they'd called up a few
like-minded enthusiasts
353
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,160
who might just be able to get
our road trip back on track.
354
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,600
Oh, wow.
355
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,640
- These are gorgeous. - Oh, yes.
356
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:41,920
Jeez!
357
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,280
Chevy truck.
358
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,480
These are amazing. I love these.
359
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,800
It's mint.
360
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,760
There's another Pontiac,
over there, Paddy.
361
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,560
Oh, the Firebird!
362
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,040
496.
363
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,240
I tell you what, Paddy,
do you know, when you see yours
364
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,840
- and then you see this... - I know.
365
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,760
You've got to admit it,
this is beautiful.
366
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,120
Crack her open.
367
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,240
It's got a big block! Oh!
368
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,560
Look at that!
369
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,240
- Have you seen the Camaro, next door?
- Yeah. Oh, yes, yes, yes.
370
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,480
That is gorgeous.
371
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,120
ENGINE ROARS LOUDLY
372
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:13,200
Whoa!
373
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,680
Turns out the classic American
car scene is pretty big in Peru.
374
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,080
What's this?
375
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,240
Oh, hey...
376
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,000
And one of them was up for sale -
377
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,480
and in budget.
378
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,640
ENGINE ROARS
379
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,560
Oh!
380
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Sounds healthy.
381
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,280
Yeah. I like it.
382
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,840
- Christopher? - Yeah.
383
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,760
Tell him I'll have it.
384
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,840
The next morning,
385
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,640
we awoke in the historic Incan town
386
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,200
of Ollantaytambo.
387
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Oldsmobile Cutlass.
388
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,760
I am very, very, very happy
with this.
389
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,560
It's a marked improvement
on your Pontiac.
390
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,520
Hey, I was doing
a bit of research in the room,
391
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,680
last night on the old t'internet.
392
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,960
Faster 0-60 than the Firebird, this.
393
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,720
180 brake horsepower.
394
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,360
Right, shall we get in
395
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,800
and head off into the sunset?
396
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,760
If you were The Bandit yesterday,
what are you in this, today?
397
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,600
P Addy.
398
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,720
Like Puff Daddy, P Addy.
399
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,200
- P Diddy wouldn't be seen
dead in that. - You what?!
400
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,800
- Look at it! - Give his right...
401
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,200
- ..gold chain for this. - Shut up!
402
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,080
- Shush! - Get in, let's go.
403
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,000
CAR DOOR THUDS CONTINUOUSLY
404
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,040
ENGINES ROAR
405
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,680
Off we go!
406
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,440
At last, we had a convoy that might
not break down for five minutes.
407
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,720
Yeah, this is living!
408
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,440
Just driving my Oldsmobile Cutlass
around South America!
409
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,320
And before heading out of town,
410
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,240
we decided what our American
road trip needed
411
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,920
was a proper drive-through
412
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,280
at the local market.
413
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,120
Arriba!
414
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:21,160
CAR HORN TOOTS
415
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,000
Here we go, what we got here?
416
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,640
Excuse me, excuse me?
417
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,080
This VW is about peace...
418
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,440
..and happiness.
419
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,640
Could I... Could you decorate...
420
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,920
- Decorate the front...
- Todo rojo? Todo rojo?
421
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,240
..with flowers?
422
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,400
All down the front, please?
423
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,800
50? Yeah?
424
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,280
It's a hippie wagon, isn't it?
425
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,320
Ahora! Hey!
426
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,480
Chillies!
427
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,520
Chilli, chilli, chilli!
428
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,000
Avocado!
429
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,080
I've gone grocery shopping,
I'm just buying veg, I love it.
430
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,640
I like your hat.
431
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,520
Very clever.
432
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,560
I like that!
433
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,080
While Harris raided the grocers,
434
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,080
McGuinness was trying his hand
at drive-through gift shopping.
435
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,400
Oh! This is the way to shop.
436
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,680
What have we got, ladies?
437
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,200
Oh, wow!
438
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,840
PADDY LAUGHS
439
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,640
It reminds me
of somebody I work with.
440
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,560
In fact, have you got two?
One more. Two?
441
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,720
Oh, yeah, that's actually perfect.
442
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,760
Yes!
443
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,440
Here we go.
444
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,600
Look at this! Now we're talking.
445
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,280
This is a proper VW camper!
446
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,520
We're off to Woodstock, come on!
447
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,000
Oh, that's nice.
448
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,800
You reckon?
449
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,520
- Yeah, it's good, good. - Yeah?
450
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,560
What a job that is.
451
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,960
I've got my hat and I'm going
to get myself a blanket.
452
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,600
- OK, gracias. - Thank you, gracias.
453
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,480
All right, that's beautiful.
454
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,920
Thank you so much, thank you.
455
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,120
Oh, my word.
456
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,160
Love bus complete,
and road trip firmly back on track,
457
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,040
it was time to head out of town.
458
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,920
I've got to say, with the flowers
on the front of that Volkswagen,
459
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,400
it does suit it, that car,
doesn't it?
460
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,400
Cheers, Pad.
Successful trip, I think.
461
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,640
HORN TOOTS
462
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:25,960
We were heading once again
towards the Vilcabamba mountains.
463
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,240
And to reach them,
464
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,440
we'd have to climb over
the Abra Malaga Pass.
465
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,280
At almost 60 miles in length,
466
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,280
this switchback stretch
of tarmac perfection
467
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,840
is one of the most stunning roads
468
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,640
in all of South America.
469
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,840
Look at that! Look at that!
470
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Wow, look at this.
471
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,920
Wow.
472
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,560
It keeps going, look,
there's road all the way up there!
473
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,240
But climbing high
into the Peruvian sky,
474
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,560
Flintoff was quickly discovering
it's also...
475
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,080
..one of the most challenging.
476
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,720
Oh, we've lost Fred.
Where's Fred gone?
477
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,600
Where's Bob Dylan?
Is he still back there?
478
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,680
As we're getting higher,
just losing power.
479
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,640
I only had 50 horsepower
to begin with.
480
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,920
I hate to think what I'm using now.
481
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,560
Just stuck in first gear.
482
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,520
As soon as I put it into second,
just dies.
483
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,200
While Fred's slowed to
a breathless crawl, though...
484
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,320
Come on, the VW, keep going.
485
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,760
..the two big American V8s
486
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,840
were relishing the challenge.
487
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,320
Oh, good torque!
488
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,360
Great torque from the Dart!
489
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,040
I've only gone into second gear,
Chris!
490
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,400
Get in, Paddy!
491
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,240
I think it likes the altitude.
492
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,600
I'm going to go for third.
493
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,680
She's still pulling.
494
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,840
I'm in third!
495
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,440
Don't look to your right,
do not look to your right.
496
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,360
Whoa!
497
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:08,880
That wall'll definitely
stop you there!
498
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,600
Christ alive!
499
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,520
It's still pulling.
500
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,240
We're still going up.
501
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:28,080
And then, Peru decided to show us
502
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,720
what the original American road trip
503
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,280
really had to offer.
504
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,520
Look at that view.
505
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,600
That is outrageous!
506
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,360
That's literally
like you're in heaven.
507
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,080
This might be the best hour's
driving I've had on the road...
508
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,760
..ever, and I don't think
I've gone over 35mph.
509
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,240
Oh...
510
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,680
Sometimes,
511
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,880
the really memorable drives
512
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,440
aren't what you imagine
they would be.
513
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,720
Didn't think I'd be in a slightly
clapped out Dodge Dart in Peru,
514
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,600
doing this.
515
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,640
God...
516
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,000
SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYS
517
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,520
And over the top we go.
518
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,360
Whoa, what a road.
519
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:30,000
That makes the Stelvio Pass
look like the A406 North Circular.
520
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,480
With the others cresting the summit,
521
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,120
my little camper
finally caught back up.
522
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:39,000
Oh, he's back, Fred.
523
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,160
I can see the flowers
are looking a bit worse for wear.
524
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,520
It's not so much
a '60s hippie thing now,
525
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,080
more like a busted-up old allotment!
526
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,720
Yeah, I'm still here, lads,
I'm still trucking on.
527
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,040
And all that waited for us now
528
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,800
was the drive back down.
529
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,160
Come on, Fred, let her run,
let her roll.
530
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,200
Here we go.
531
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,600
Our cars had conquered
the Abra Malaga Pass.
532
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,200
And we were now one big step closer
533
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,400
to the Vilcabamba mountains.
534
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,640
And with the sun starting to set,
535
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,000
we pulled over
536
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,800
for an authentic Peruvian
drive-through supper.
537
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,520
- Can I just say... - Yeah.
- ..this is lovely.
538
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,320
- It's nice, isn't it? - Yeah.
539
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,360
Thank you. Potatoes, there you go.
540
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:27,800
- Oh! - There you go. - Jacket spuds.
541
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,760
A bit of sauce? A bit of sauce?
Here you go.
542
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,160
Hold that, hold that.
543
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,000
A bit of meat, now.
544
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,040
This is perfect.
545
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Lads, here's your meat.
546
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,680
There you go, Chris.
547
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,160
It's a delicacy over here, this.
548
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,400
You're in for a treat.
There you go, Paddy, one for you.
549
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,400
It's like a kebab.
550
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,960
Thank you, thanks very...
Oh, you want some money?
551
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,680
There you go. Thank you.
552
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,040
What's that?
553
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,280
- It's cuy. - You what?
554
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,320
Guinea pig.
555
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,520
What is wrong with you?
556
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,240
- What? - Fred, my daughter's got
two of these
557
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,880
and one of them's called Timmy.
558
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,320
If I eat this,
she will never talk to me again.
559
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,680
Fred, you're eating a pet!
560
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,000
It's a pet!
561
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,240
What are you doing?
562
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,400
Punch and Judy.
563
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,880
- It's not Punch and Judy...
- That's not the Punch and Judy I saw.
564
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,480
Is that what they did at
your school?
565
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,960
Do you not think they've gone
through enough, them two?
566
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,320
CHRIS AND FREDDIE LAUGH
567
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,240
Surely to God!
568
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,200
APPLAUSE
569
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,280
Wrong. No.
570
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,000
- Local delicacy. - No, wrong.
571
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,560
It's just...
572
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,520
Freddie, it's just not right.
You'll eat anything.
573
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,800
Where do you go for your lunch?
Pets At Home?!
574
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,840
LAUGHTER
575
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,680
- I mean... - To be fair,
I'll eat most things.
576
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,200
- Yeah. - I draw the line at quinoa.
577
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,040
- LAUGHTER
- Right, OK.
578
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,160
Stop trying to deflect attention
from that orange monstrosity.
579
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,160
What a horrible,
horrible car that was.
580
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,320
- Firstly, don't speak about
Fred like that. - OK. - What?!
581
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,600
I thought his LeBaron the other week
was the worst car
582
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,960
- we'd ever had on Top Gear. - Worst?
- But you've beaten it. - Oh.
583
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,760
- That Pontiac was terrible. - Yeah.
584
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,200
I thought it was going to be
all about Smokey And The Bandit
585
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,240
and everything else,
but it just turned out to be Bandit.
586
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:17,640
And that was it.
587
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,760
- A lot of smoke, as well. - Yeah!
588
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,600
Anyhow, we'll get back to that film
a little later in the show.
589
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,760
But before that, exciting news,
590
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,760
because Porsche has built
an electric car.
591
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,400
It's called the Taycan.
592
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,320
And as you'd expect from a Porsche,
593
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,480
it isn't slow.
594
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,120
This battery powered
four-door sports car
595
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:45,640
can generate a monstrous...
596
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,560
..750 horsepower.
597
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,920
And as you'd also expect
from a Porsche,
598
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,920
it isn't cheap.
599
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,480
It costs �140,000.
600
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,600
So, if it's going to tempt buyers
away from petrol,
601
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,480
at that price,
602
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,680
it had better be good.
603
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,240
BIRD SONG
604
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,400
Special moment, this,
and I mean a really special moment
605
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,320
because Porsche make arguably
606
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:23,040
the best internal combustion
engine cars on the planet.
607
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,440
Expectations are high.
608
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,480
And while the Taycan follows
the familiar
609
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,560
battery-under-the-floor,
motor-at-each-end recipe
610
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,560
used by every other fast
electric car,
611
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:36,800
it has to be said,
612
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,000
this one does feel a bit different.
613
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,040
From the start,
614
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,680
it feels like a Porsche.
615
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,280
The driving position is low,
616
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,640
the seat is just pinching
my kidneys,
617
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,560
the steering wheel is familiar.
618
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,640
And it's so quiet!
619
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,080
That's the thing about
electric cars.
620
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,080
Because there's no engine
and gearbox noise,
621
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,560
you hear other noises,
622
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:00,640
nasty noises -
623
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,400
squeaks, tyres thrumming away,
624
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,720
suspension pounding at the bumps.
625
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,320
But they're all
so well suppressed in here.
626
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,600
In fact,
627
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,320
it means I'm complaining that
the rain is too noisy today.
628
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,480
I've got noisy rain!
629
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,960
And underneath the surface,
630
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,680
that familiar electric car recipe
631
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,320
has been even more refined.
632
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,920
And, as ever, Porsche's been
learning from its exploits
633
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,440
on the racetrack.
634
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:27,800
The 919 Le Mans winner
635
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,840
used a special Porsche-designed
electric motor
636
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,080
that's smaller and more power dense
than any rival,
637
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,080
and that's what's
appeared in this car.
638
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,880
If it's good enough to win Le Mans,
639
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,440
it's probably good
enough for your daily commute.
640
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,080
Oh, I mean, that is so fast!
641
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,200
You put your foot down,
you're in another dimension.
642
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,760
And the ride comfort...
643
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,600
..is superb.
644
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,320
This is the most comfortable
Porsche ever,
645
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,600
by some margin!
646
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,360
But perhaps the biggest news of all
647
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,480
is that this Taycan
might just have the answer
648
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,920
to the electric car world's
greatest dilemma -
649
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,160
charge time.
650
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,920
Allow me to explain.
651
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,520
Imagine this thing here
is your car battery
652
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,320
and this is your cable
from the mains.
653
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,080
Now, the lower the voltage,
the lower the pressure
654
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,880
at which you can shove electricity
from this
655
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,440
into your car battery.
656
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,440
Which is why regular cars
take so long to charge.
657
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,200
But...
658
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,320
..the Taycan runs at 800 volts,
659
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,840
double the normal amount,
660
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,400
and that means...
661
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,160
..you get a lot more
pressure in your pipes,
662
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,720
which means you can
fill your battery
663
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,560
much, much faster!
664
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,680
You get the idea.
665
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,720
To put it another way,
666
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,200
find yourself
a 270 kilowatts charger
667
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,720
and you can add 200 miles of range
668
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,800
in just over 20 minutes.
669
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,560
200 miles of range
670
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,680
in the time it takes
to have a sandwich
671
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,320
and a little comfort break.
672
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,720
It's dead impressive, isn't it?
673
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,520
The only problem is...
674
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,520
..do you know how
many 270 kilowatt chargers
675
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,560
there are currently in the UK?
676
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,000
Four.
677
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,440
Four!
678
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,560
It's not much, is it?
679
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,520
Once again, electric car technology
is miles ahead of infrastructure.
680
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,200
And do you know how long it would
take to charge this thing
681
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,720
if you plugged it in at home?
682
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:47,920
About a day!
683
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,040
And there are a couple of other
problems with the Taycan,
684
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,680
starting...
685
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,760
..with its size.
686
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,280
It's not a 5 series sized car
or a 3 series sized car,
687
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,760
it's sort of in between,
688
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,240
which means the back seats really
aren't very big at all.
689
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,320
And the rear shelf is really high.
690
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,840
I mean, there must be some
electrical gubbins under there,
691
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,680
which means there's a tiny
pillar-box view out the rear.
692
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,280
And then there's the name.
693
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,040
Because this fastest Taycan
694
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,560
is called the Turbo S.
695
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,840
You can't give an electric car
696
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,720
a turbo charger.
697
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,280
That badge...
698
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,160
..is fake news.
699
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,800
No - according to Porsche,
700
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,200
turbo doesn't mean turbo any more.
701
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,600
It's now just means...
702
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,560
..really fast.
703
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,800
So, the question for the Taycan
Turbo S is...
704
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,520
just how "really fast" is it?
705
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,280
Right, Mr Electric Porsche,
706
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,680
launch control.
707
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,320
So, I go Sport Plus,
maximum response,
708
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,160
left foot on the brake,
right foot on the throttle
709
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,560
and here we go.
710
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,160
Oh, my Lord!
711
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,720
That's fast!
712
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,480
It's just done 90
713
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,360
and 100 miles an hour.
714
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,280
120...
715
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,600
100 and...
716
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,040
Allow me to be
a little bit speechless.
717
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,120
It's relentless!
718
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,800
This thing will go from
a standing start
719
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,560
to the speed limit on a motorway
in about three seconds.
720
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,800
If that's not fast enough for you...
721
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,400
..go and take up base jumping
or something.
722
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,600
Wow.
723
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,160
And while most electric cars,
after that sort of launch,
724
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,480
have to go and cool down for a bit
before having another go,
725
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,240
with its higher voltage
and clever motors,
726
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:48,280
the Taycan can do the big
acceleration thing again...
727
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,080
Wow!
728
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,560
..and again.
729
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,800
That's 120mph.
730
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,200
Jeepers!
731
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,840
..and again.
732
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,360
Oh!
733
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,760
It hurts my kidneys!
734
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,720
Better still,
735
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,160
Porsche has pulled every
engineering trick in the book
736
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,520
to make sure the Taycan is also
like no other electric car
737
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,120
through the corners.
738
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,760
TYRES SCREECH
739
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,480
Woohoo!
740
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,840
It's got rear-wheel steering,
it's got torque vectoring,
741
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,360
it's got electromechanical roll
stabilisation.
742
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,240
The upshot is, it goes
like a Porsche round a track!
743
00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:30,640
TYRES SCREECH
744
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,520
TYRES SCREECH
745
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,160
Wow!
746
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,160
This thing weighs 2.4 tonnes.
747
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,600
That's more than a Range Rover!
748
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,120
It has no right to drive like this,
749
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,240
to accelerate, stop,
750
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:48,480
and change direction
the way it does.
751
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,040
TYRES SCREECH
752
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,880
We just did a smoker.
753
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,520
We just did a smoker in a Porsche!
754
00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:58,480
I've never done that
in an electric car before.
755
00:34:58,480 --> 00:34:59,800
Wow!
756
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,280
OK, you've got my attention now,
Porsche, you've got my attention.
757
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,840
This has not been done before.
758
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,400
Make no mistake.
759
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,840
In this brave new
world of electric cars,
760
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,520
the Taycan is properly
ground-breaking.
761
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,440
It's slidey.
762
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,680
Oh!
763
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,960
It isn't just
an incredible achievement...
764
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,800
The work that must have gone in!
765
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,520
..nor is it just
the best engineered,
766
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,240
best driving electric car ever made.
767
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:31,680
Woohoo!
768
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,360
I love it!
769
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,400
No.
770
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,680
The Taycan is also absolute proof
771
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,320
that our electric future
won't just be fast,
772
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,320
it'll be seriously...
773
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,000
..exciting.
774
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Electric skids,
I've got a new favourite sport.
775
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,600
Whoa!
776
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,640
TYRES SCREECH
777
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,080
APPLAUSE
778
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Wow.
779
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,240
Wow.
780
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,880
- Now... - So good.
781
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,560
Listen, do you want us all to go
782
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,960
and you and the car just get
a room together,
783
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,520
because you really love it?
784
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:14,960
It's fantastic, Paddy.
785
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,360
Honestly, it's the best car
I've driven in ages.
786
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,000
We've known for a long time that
electric cars can be stupid fast,
787
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,400
but this is stupid fast
and beautifully built
788
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,920
and it's fun to drive.
789
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,280
It's a game changer.
790
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,560
Anyway, we need to find out how fast
the Taycan goes round our track.
791
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,640
After Chris tested it,
we sent The Stig out to do a lap.
792
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,680
Have a look at this.
793
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,840
Watch this now off the line.
794
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,440
Within three seconds, Stig's kidneys
will be in the back-seat.
795
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,840
Look at the way it goes. Even scoots
down at the back like a hyena.
796
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,480
Already he's doing 80, 90,
probably 110mph.
797
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,760
Look how flat it is.
798
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,240
It looks absolutely
slammed into the surface.
799
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,280
Four-wheel drive,
so traction is immense.
800
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,000
I mean, it just looks brutal.
801
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,960
It's pulling performance out
of the road that shouldn't be there.
802
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,160
Stig looks composed, as ever.
803
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,480
Out of Chicago using
all the width of the circuit.
804
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,440
Listen to that noise as well,
a very distinctive sound,
805
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,400
it's a new sound, but I like it.
It's fast.
806
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,760
That little wiggle
before hammerhead.
807
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,560
Again, look at the lack
of body roll.
808
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,000
Look at the way the suspension
is just compressing minutely
809
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,640
and giving traction.
810
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,000
This car is so impressive.
811
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,440
We've not seen anything like it.
812
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,640
Rear end wants to come
round into the follow-through,
813
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,280
Stig controls it nicely
through the tyre wall.
814
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,920
Oh, God, that looks fast.
815
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,800
A bit of oversteer, as well.
816
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,280
Second to last, the most difficult
corner on our track,
817
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,800
spots his turning point
818
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,480
and the thing
just darts straight in.
819
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,360
Super flat, superfast,
820
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,480
and now Gambon.
821
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,960
That is impressive.
That is impressive.
822
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,960
APPLAUSE
Wow.
823
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,440
Great lap, that.
824
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,600
Great lap.
825
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,800
Chris, that did look quick,
826
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,040
but where do you think we're
looking at on our lap board?
827
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,800
- It's got to be around here,
hasn't it? Surely? - Yeah, easily.
828
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,000
Well, I've got the time.
829
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,360
And I can tell you,
830
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,280
the Porsche Taycan went round
831
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,080
in one minute...
832
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,560
..17.6.
833
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,920
So, it's the same as a Honda NSX.
834
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,960
- APPLAUSE
- That is so impressive. - Wow!
835
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,240
- I am happy with that. - That is mad.
836
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:16,120
So, first of all, the grudge match,
837
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,560
it's absolutely nailed
the Model 3 Tesla,
838
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,120
it's smashed that.
839
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,760
It's beating our previous super
saloon by a massive margin
840
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,080
and underneath there,
841
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,360
well, it's the same speed
as Honda's supercar
842
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,720
and it's a 2.4 tonne
electric saloon.
843
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:31,360
It's hugely impressive.
844
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,640
Unbelievable.
845
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,720
Now, it's time to get back
to our big Peruvian adventure,
846
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:37,720
where we are about to get high,
847
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:39,000
really high.
848
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,840
Day three of our
original American road trip.
849
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,720
And our little convoy
was running along beautifully.
850
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:52,080
Whoa!
851
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,960
I'm only in third gear, boys!
852
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,400
Wahey!
853
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,760
Go on, the Dart.
854
00:38:58,760 --> 00:38:59,880
This thing is flying.
855
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,600
This is good. I think this is
the fastest I've been, so far.
856
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,000
Must be touching 50.
857
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,720
I'm going to get past these lads.
858
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:09,320
Oh!
859
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,800
Oh...
860
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,680
TYRES SCREECH
861
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,600
HORNS BLARE
862
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,200
CHRIS LAUGHS
863
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,920
He's got a new lease of life.
864
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,480
I looked in my rear-view mirror
865
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,000
and I saw an allotment
hurtling towards me!
866
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,320
Having crossed the soaring
Abra Malaga Pass the day before,
867
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,560
the end of our journey
in the Vilcabamba mountains
868
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,080
was now within easy reach.
869
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,680
And to make the most
of our excellent progress,
870
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,360
the producers told us
there was time to stop off
871
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,800
to check out some local motorsport.
872
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,520
Whoa!
873
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,000
What is this?
874
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,360
That looks dangerous to me.
875
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,400
Watch this fella hanging off now,
watch him round the corners.
876
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,000
Look at that!
877
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,600
He's got one leg off.
878
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,840
This is a Peruvian invention
called motocar cross.
879
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,600
Sitting somewhere between sidecar
and traditional motocross racing,
880
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,160
the driver and passenger
work as a team to take the fastest
881
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,360
possible line over the dirt, all
the while maintaining a refreshingly
882
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,200
relaxed attitude to safety.
883
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,520
- Oh, that'll shy! - Oh! - Oh!
884
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,160
Wow.
885
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,880
It looks like a really, really
novel way to hurt yourself.
886
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,640
- Hola. - Hi.
887
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,680
- Hola. - Hola.
888
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,760
We've got you a drive
in the next race.
889
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:37,920
There you go, you knew it.
890
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,480
Yes, to give us a proper taste
of this utter lunacy,
891
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,520
we'd now take turns being
hunted down by the locals.
892
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,160
LION ROARS
893
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,680
Starting from the front of the pack,
894
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,360
we'd each head out to drive two laps
with a pro on the back
895
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:59,760
and our aim would be to try
and avoid being overtaken or maimed.
896
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,680
So, on a scale of one to ten,
how likely are we to crash?
897
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:05,920
I'm going up to an eight.
898
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,960
Yeah, same here.
899
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,720
And as the most experienced racer,
apparently I was up first.
900
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,800
Good luck, Chris.
901
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,080
Nice knowing you, Chris.
902
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,320
Go on, Chris!
903
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,680
Come on! Come on!
904
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,800
He's having a go, here,
Harris, isn't he?
905
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,200
Oh, blimey.
906
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,480
Ooh!
907
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,240
Go on, Harris.
He's holding them off.
908
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:44,680
Oh, this is brutal.
909
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:48,960
One lap down...
910
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,240
Go on, Harris!
911
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:52,120
..and Harris was keeping his nose
in front.
912
00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:55,000
Oh, God!
913
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,400
But then...
914
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,560
Ooh!
915
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,400
- No, he's getting taken.
- Yeah, he has.
916
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:00,520
Oh!
917
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,800
Aah!
918
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,640
- There'll be a list of excuses. - Yeah.
919
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,200
I can't see where I'm going!
920
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,080
To give him his due, though,
by the end of his run,
921
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,080
Harris had managed to drop
just three places...
922
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:17,400
I'm knackered!
923
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,200
- ..and McGuinness... - Let's do it.
924
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:20,480
..was up next.
925
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:26,680
He's going to give it
some down here.
926
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,960
Go on, Pad. Go on, Pad.
927
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,320
ENGINES ROAR
928
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:34,880
PADDY LAUGHS
929
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,080
Wah-hey-hey-hey!
930
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,880
He's going to go straight on.
He's going too fast.
931
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,680
Whoa-ho! Whoa-ho!
932
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:43,880
Whoa-ho-ho-ho!
933
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:48,880
He was nearly off then.
934
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,680
It's quite quick and it just doesn't
want to go round corners.
935
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,360
Very easy to tip it over, as well,
I think.
936
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,600
Oh, brilliant.
937
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,560
Somewhere in the dust and chaos,
938
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,120
amazingly McGuinness had only
been overtaken once.
939
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,840
And unfortunately for Flintoff,
that meant, as he headed out,
940
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,000
the local pros were out for blood.
941
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,400
You took him on the bend!
942
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,720
They're coming on the inside.
943
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,040
No, no, no! No!
944
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:22,560
He can't see!
945
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,520
Look at the dust! Look at the dust!
946
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,640
- That's horrible! - Oh, Fred, come on!
947
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,440
The pros had piled on...
948
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,880
I can't see a thing.
949
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,960
..and buried down in the middle
of the pack, I had no chance.
950
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,760
What sort of sport is this?
951
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,560
Go on, Fred! Go on!
952
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,200
I can't see a BLEEP thing!
953
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,240
I don't think he saw me.
954
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:44,280
Jeez!
955
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:46,840
This is horrible.
956
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,600
Mate, that was harsh.
957
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,840
- I couldn't see...
- Oh, Jesus Christ! - Ugh!
958
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,800
And with that, it was time to
leave the world of motocar cross
959
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,080
firmly behind...
960
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,000
Bell-end.
961
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,320
..and get back on the road.
962
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,840
Well, at least I'm back in the
Camper and it's running well.
963
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,680
My happy place.
964
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,240
That's the thing about this car.
965
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:22,120
Everything just slows down.
966
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,360
Your speed on the road,
you get a chance to look around -
967
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,760
but your mood, as well.
968
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,640
Whoops-a-daisy. Whoops-a-daisy.
969
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,040
Oh, you prick.
I'm in the wrong gear.
970
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,160
HORNS BEEP
971
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:34,920
There we go. Sorry.
972
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,280
Even that, I've had an absolute
shocker there.
973
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,600
Who cares?
974
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,040
Wahey!
975
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,200
Just as Flintoff got back
to his happy place, though,
976
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,360
we discovered it was going
to be a tough afternoon.
977
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,160
Boys, there's a challenge card
there. Come on.
978
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:55,320
What have we got?
979
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,280
"Welcome to the
Vilcabamba mountains.
980
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,160
"End of the road for the Incas -
but not for you.
981
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,720
"To end your original
American road trip,
982
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,000
"you will now attempt to
reach the top
983
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,080
"of the fearsome Abra Yanama Pass,
984
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,640
"one of the most dangerous
roads in the world."
985
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:14,680
Course it is.
986
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,080
"You must ALL" - that's in capitals,
that bit - "make it to the top."
987
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,240
We're going up there?
988
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:22,800
That's in the clouds.
989
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:23,920
It's in the clouds.
990
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,280
What are they?
991
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:26,880
Altimeters.
992
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,160
Right.
993
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,680
The Abra Yanama Pass
is a rough gravel track
994
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,960
that climbs to an altitude
of over 4,500 metres.
995
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:45,240
Higher than any road in Europe,
any road in North America, frankly,
996
00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:49,000
it was hard to see how any of our
cars would make it to the summit.
997
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,320
All we could do was
head off uphill to find out.
998
00:45:57,720 --> 00:45:58,800
CRUNCH
999
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,720
Ooh!
1000
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:01,920
CRUNCH
1001
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,160
Ooh, dear. Right, OK.
1002
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:09,360
The car is so hot
and the fumes are blowing in.
1003
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,000
Even with the windows down,
it's not doing it.
1004
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,240
I'm going to have to do old school
like this.
1005
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:17,520
I say old school.
I've never done it in my life.
1006
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:18,760
What is he doing?
1007
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:22,080
The roads are getting narrower.
1008
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:24,360
DOOR CLATTERS AGAINST VERGE
1009
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:25,440
Agh!
1010
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,080
Agh! Agh! Agh!
1011
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,080
Over in the Camper, meanwhile,
1012
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,400
having already struggled at altitude
earlier in the trip,
1013
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:41,200
overnight, Flintoff had been busy
working on a secret weapon.
1014
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,560
Are you using the secret weapon yet,
Fred?
1015
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,480
No, not necessary yet.
It's running so well.
1016
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,960
I'm looking forward to seeing this.
1017
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,360
And as luck would have it,
1018
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,800
Fred's Camper soon gave us
the opportunity to take a look.
1019
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,040
Oh, you're winding me up.
1020
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,720
It cut out.
1021
00:46:57,720 --> 00:46:59,800
Everything OK, gentlemen?
1022
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,680
Do me a favour.
Before you do that...
1023
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:02,840
Get your secret weapon on.
1024
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,520
..keep the comedian at the front.
1025
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,920
I've just come down to help.
1026
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,080
- Where is the secret weapon,
by the way? - There.
1027
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,400
What, that plastic tub?
1028
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,840
Yeah, it's some washer fluid,
I think.
1029
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:13,960
Yeah, go on.
1030
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,440
ENGINE SPLUTTERS
1031
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,480
OK, wait there, Fred. Wait there.
1032
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,320
There's some pressure coming
out of the crankcase here.
1033
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,680
There's this thing...
1034
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:27,800
Problems aside, can I just say,
I've been looking in the back there
1035
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,320
and I've been very excited -
you've been saying about this...
1036
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,760
- I've not switched it on yet.
- No, I know, but I've just seen it.
1037
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:33,960
He's just shown it to me.
1038
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,520
It's a plastic bottle
with a bit of washer fluid in it.
1039
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,960
Paddy! Paddy!
1040
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,840
Is now the time to
shatter his dream?
1041
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:42,840
OK, try it again.
1042
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,320
ENGINE TURNS OVER
1043
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,600
- Yes. - Are we off?
1044
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,840
He's broken down,
you've started taking the mickey
1045
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:49,960
out of his special system.
1046
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,560
No, I was looking forward
to seeing it.
1047
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,520
I didn't think it was going
to be a sample bottle.
1048
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,760
- I think you're being unfair there.
- Yeah, you're right.
1049
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:58,560
This is going to be thrilling.
1050
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,080
I think we got off
on the wrong foot.
1051
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,800
We've started being mean
to each other again.
1052
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,960
I didn't mean to say
you had a piss pot in the back.
1053
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,680
- So... - Is that an apology?
1054
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:12,800
That's...
1055
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,160
PADDY CHUCKLES
1056
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,960
That is the new Paddy McGuinness.
1057
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,320
Yeah, he needs to work
on his apologetic skills, though.
1058
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:19,680
THEY LAUGH
1059
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,040
I'll go and do it again straight.
1060
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,400
Go on.
1061
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,880
I, er... He's had a word there
and to be fair...
1062
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,960
Look me in the eyes
when you're doing it.
1063
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,760
THEY LAUGH
1064
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,240
BLEEP. Let's get in the cars.
I'll never be able to do it.
1065
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:37,680
BLEEP.
1066
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:38,720
Piss pot!
1067
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,040
With still no clue what
Flintoff had actually
1068
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,720
stuck in the back of his car,
we carried on climbing.
1069
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,160
Oh, Jesus!
1070
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,360
That's my rear view gone.
1071
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,680
1,800 metres now and we're already
well beyond anything
1072
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,600
in the British Isles
and I'm not struggling for power.
1073
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:01,760
This bodes well.
1074
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:05,640
Jesus!
1075
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:07,600
Oh!
1076
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,080
Yes, baby.
1077
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,840
The engine's getting so hot,
1078
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,360
so on that last stop
I just opened the flap
1079
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,640
just to cool it down.
1080
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,840
Wow, look at this.
1081
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,200
Oh, that is grim.
1082
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:29,720
That's a massive amount of earth
and rock that's flown down there.
1083
00:49:29,720 --> 00:49:31,520
Oh! Go on, Cutlass.
1084
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:41,360
Now past 2,500 metres and all three
cars were still marching on.
1085
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,880
Engine's still pulling nicely.
1086
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,720
I definitely notice the fact
the air's thinning, though.
1087
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:49,280
Oh, it's just getting
a bit jumpy now.
1088
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,560
I don't know if the altitude's
starting to take effect.
1089
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:52,840
It's time, I think.
1090
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,200
Time to turn on the secret weapon.
1091
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:00,960
So, we pulled over and braced
ourselves for the big moment.
1092
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,480
It's time.
1093
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,200
Round the back. Are you ready?
1094
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,160
We're ready. Stand back.
1095
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,680
This is going to be good, this.
1096
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,720
Ooooh!
1097
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:11,080
Wahey!
1098
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,880
- Oh, it's got a red light.
- Yeah, look at that.
1099
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,320
The red light's very impressive.
1100
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,840
- I like that.
- Not the sample thing.
1101
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,880
I'm going to be right up
the back of you now, lads.
1102
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,560
OK, what my secret weapon
actually does
1103
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,040
is get more oxygen into the engine
to help performance.
1104
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,400
The bottle's full of water,
you pass a current through the water
1105
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,200
and it separates it
into hydrogen and oxygen.
1106
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,920
Feed that oxygen into the engine
and it runs better.
1107
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,280
Simple.
1108
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,160
Running nicely.
1109
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,560
Slow progress
but this is what the VW wants.
1110
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,760
And with Fred's car now doing
whatever it was doing, next...
1111
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,280
HORN BEEPS
1112
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,440
Who's beeping?
1113
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,240
It was the Cutlass that was
starting to complain.
1114
00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:00,560
HORN BEEPS
1115
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,640
BEEPING CONTINUES
1116
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,320
What?!
1117
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,360
Will you shut up?
1118
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,960
This Cutlass has got
a mind of its own.
1119
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,480
Oh, BLEEP. Oh, my door!
1120
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:17,680
Oh, God.
1121
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,400
More than can be said of its driver.
1122
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,160
BEEPING CONTINUES
1123
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,560
What's that, Cutlass?
1124
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,200
BEEPING CONTINUES
1125
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:26,480
Chris Harris is a bell-end?
1126
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,000
Yeah, I know he is.
1127
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,440
DOOR HITS VERGE
Whoa!
1128
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:30,720
ENGINE SPLUTTERS
1129
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:33,400
Jesus.
1130
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,200
That was very close, McGuinness.
1131
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:36,240
Very, very close.
1132
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:38,840
Too close, in fact.
1133
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,920
The Cutlass needed a redesign.
1134
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,240
There she goes!
1135
00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:48,360
Oh, hey, there's some weight in it,
isn't there?
1136
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,760
- That's a heavy door, that.
- Are you all right?
1137
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,880
I've just watched two
Northerners wreck a car.
1138
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,880
Now well past the halfway point
1139
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,800
and heading into the steepest
section of the pass,
1140
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,680
all three cars were coping well
with the climb...
1141
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,800
..until, without warning...
1142
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,720
ENGINE FALTERS
1143
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:12,520
Oh, God.
1144
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,000
Just lost my clutch, I think.
1145
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:17,600
Yeah, I've got no drive.
1146
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,000
Left pedal's gone.
1147
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,320
That's not an easy fix.
1148
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:21,440
No.
1149
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,120
It was doing so well.
1150
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,440
I had no fears about the engine
and the gearbox, the transmission.
1151
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,840
But I thought the chassis
would let go. But it's the clutch.
1152
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,960
- What are you going to do, mate?
- Erm...
1153
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,480
Tow it up there.
1154
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,320
Tow it? I'm not sure about that.
1155
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,120
I'm not sure who's going to tow it.
1156
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,200
Come on. Work with me here.
You can't abandon the Dart. Come on.
1157
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,160
We could.
1158
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,320
HORN BEEPS INTERMITTENTLY
1159
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,400
And we did.
1160
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,360
HORN BEEPS
1161
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,120
Now, technically,
we're still within the rules
1162
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,120
cos it's about all three of us
getting up there.
1163
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,400
Yeah, for the second
time as in as many trips abroad,
1164
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,560
Harris had killed his car
and it was now down to the Cutlass
1165
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,240
and the Camper to get us
up to the top of the pass.
1166
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,160
Come on...
1167
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,320
CUTLASS HORN BEEPS
1168
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:16,520
Fred, you OK?
1169
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,160
Starting to lose a little
bit of power but we're all right.
1170
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,960
Yeah, this thing, if it idles,
it doesn't go fast enough
1171
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,400
so you have to go quick
to get round the tight bits.
1172
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,640
You're not going to make...
1173
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,080
- You're not going to make that,
you're not... - Yes, I am!
1174
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:30,960
Come on.
1175
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,120
3,998.
1176
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,000
HORN BEEPS
1177
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,200
4,000 metres!
Raise your hands!
1178
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,640
HORN BEEPS
1179
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,120
Don't get too excited, lads.
We're still going.
1180
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,720
Let's celebrate at the top.
1181
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,640
HORN BEEPS
1182
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:52,600
650 metres to climb and we were
now heading into the clouds.
1183
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,600
It's getting colder
and it's getting damper.
1184
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,160
Come on, the VDub.
1185
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,920
You are an unbelievable machine.
1186
00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:07,280
Look at that rock.
1187
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,200
Yeah, avoid that. Don't straddle it!
1188
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:10,680
UNDERCARRIAGE SCRAPES ROCK
1189
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:11,800
Why have you done that?
1190
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,680
That's now stuck underneath us.
1191
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,360
Oh, Paddy, come on.
1192
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,400
Don't stop there, son.
1193
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,000
That is the most stupid thing
you've ever done.
1194
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,120
BLEEP sake.
1195
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,120
If you slow me down and stop
I can't get going again, lads.
1196
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,120
- BLEEP. Paddy, stop! Whoa!
- BUMPERS CRUNCH
1197
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,120
Jeez, I didn't know
he was even there.
1198
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,600
Why didn't you tell me
you were behind me, you bell-end?!
1199
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:37,800
He's right behind you.
1200
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,080
Oh, too late now!
1201
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,560
The altitude was beginning
to take its toll...
1202
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,120
..and if we were going to reach
the top of the pass,
1203
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,760
from here on out
we had to keep moving.
1204
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:55,640
HORN BEEPS
1205
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,920
- Whoa! - Whoa!
Where's he come from?
1206
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,000
- All right, boss? - You all right?
1207
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,800
What are you doing up here?
1208
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,760
My wipers don't work!
1209
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,400
But surely the end is in sight.
1210
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,080
4,300, Fred.
1211
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,080
That's the highest
I've been in a car.
1212
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,320
HORN BEEPS
1213
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:14,640
Keep going.
1214
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,680
How can we still have
300 metres to go?
1215
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,520
It feels like we are in the gods
at the moment.
1216
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,080
HORN BEEPS
1217
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:25,680
Come on, the Cutlass!
1218
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,480
HORN BEEPS
1219
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,680
No way that van's getting
up there, is there?
1220
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:32,960
Come on!
1221
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,240
ENGINE STRAINS
1222
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,120
I think that helped.
1223
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,000
It bloody has, as well. Amazing.
1224
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,800
HORN BEEPS
1225
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,000
Come on!
1226
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:50,120
Who would have thought?
I'm over 4,400 metres up
1227
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:54,440
in a Volkswagen Camper
and it's not giving up!
1228
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:55,600
Come on!
1229
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,480
4,454, Fred.
1230
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,440
I'm out of breath.
1231
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:08,680
No, come on.
1232
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,000
Come on.
1233
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,720
Don't do this to me now!
1234
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:14,240
Not now!
1235
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:15,960
ENGINE FADES
1236
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:19,560
Where is he?
1237
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:20,800
We've lost him.
1238
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,560
Can you see him?
1239
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,120
ENGINE RUMBLES
1240
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,040
- I can see him. I can see him.
I can see him. - Where? - There.
1241
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:46,520
That little blue speck there.
1242
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,080
Come on!
1243
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,560
Get in, my son!
1244
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:51,800
Yes!
1245
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,360
Keep going.
1246
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:57,520
There'll be hippies everywhere
shouting at the telly urging us on.
1247
00:56:58,640 --> 00:56:59,840
Is that the summit?
1248
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:01,400
Yes, that's the summit.
1249
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:02,720
Yes!
1250
00:57:02,720 --> 00:57:06,760
Over 4,600 metres up...
1251
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,200
Oh, look at that.
1252
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,360
..we broke out of the cloud
and reached...
1253
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:13,400
Lads!
1254
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:14,880
..the top of the pass.
1255
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:15,920
Made it!
1256
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,120
Oh-ho-ho!
1257
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,640
It's only gone and got here!
1258
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,440
- We've only gone and done it.
- Gone and done it.
1259
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:23,640
We've only gone and done it.
1260
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,040
I cannot believe that
that has got up there.
1261
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:28,880
- Look at that.
- I am surprised that...
1262
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:29,920
Wow, look at that.
1263
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,360
Top of the world.
1264
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,200
Is it fair to say that a VW Camper
1265
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,720
and a Cutlass have never
been as high ever?
1266
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,840
- Never. - Never. - Never.
1267
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,800
Hey, just remembered something,
lads.
1268
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:45,840
Bit dusty!
1269
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,920
We've done our all-American
road trip, boys!
1270
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:53,520
Whoo!
1271
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,960
Rootin' tootin' done it!
1272
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,200
Whoo!
1273
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,480
All right!
1274
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:01,640
Whoo!
1275
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:04,600
- Are you done? - I think so.
1276
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,920
Yeehaw!
1277
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:16,680
Lovely.
1278
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,560
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1279
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:22,640
That was good fun.
1280
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,080
Yeah.
1281
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:25,120
Good fun.
1282
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,760
Now, as you can see, the cars
are not here,
1283
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,520
and that's because they've worked
their little socks off.
1284
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,360
We felt bad dragging them
halfway across the world.
1285
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,440
Better give them
a nice gentle retirement
1286
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:39,960
in the country they call home.
1287
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,080
And also because
they were completely wrecked
1288
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,160
and we couldn't drive them
any further.
1289
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:45,560
Yeah, there is that, too. Yeah.
1290
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,680
But even though they're not here,
1291
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,240
we need to decide who chose
the best American road trip car.
1292
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:52,920
And it's obviously
between me and Fred.
1293
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,800
Chris, yours didn't even
make it up the hill.
1294
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,000
- Hang on. - Yours is long gone.
1295
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,280
The first car you bought
didn't last ten miles.
1296
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:03,680
You can't just buy a car, wreck it,
then buy another car and wreck it.
1297
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,240
You're literally describing every
Top Gear trip we do, to be honest.
1298
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:08,480
LAUGHTER
1299
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,080
Paddy, there's only one winner here.
1300
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,640
It's the car that started at the
start and the only one which made it
1301
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:14,920
to the end.
1302
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:16,160
The mighty VW Bus.
1303
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,400
CHEERING
1304
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:19,520
Come on!
1305
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:24,800
He knows.
1306
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:29,520
So what you're saying is,
1307
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,440
- the best American road trip car
isn't American... - Yeah.
1308
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,480
- ..and it's not even a car? - Yeah.
1309
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,000
Helpful as ever, lads.
1310
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,720
Fair enough.
That's all for tonight.
1311
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:38,880
We'll be back next week
1312
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:43,000
when these two compete in
the brutal Baja 1000 off-road race,
1313
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,800
and I get myself a Lamborghini
for the price of a Renault.
1314
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,000
See you, then. Goodnight.
1315
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,240
