So we're doing this
to save leopards.

When there are
animals involved, you got mental.

Go on.
I noticed a Lancia
down there.

Please tell me
that one's at £95 an hour.

He has a strictly limited budget.

We can't agree to jobs
on how much somebody's got.

I may have bitten off
more than I can chew.

Our race team. Last race season,
we had a go.

But there's just
the small matter of the cost.

Literally put in the barn
and forgotten.

It was totally
the wrong thing to do.

We need to make it
a bit more reliable,

then I can carry on living the dream
of being a race driver.

(BASS GUITAR PLAYING)
(ENGINE WHIRRING)

(LOUDLY) Something worked!

Two years ago I set up
a classic car restoration business
with the Greenhouse family.

We can recover any vehicle.
Huh!

Turning my passion
into a successful business

with my family in tow...
(MIMICS TRAIN HORN)

..hasn't exactly been plain sailing.
No, Mother, shush.

But things are finally on the up.

We've got work.

How far do you want to go with it?

New staff.
Oh.

We're racing again.
Never drive that quick
on the way to work.

And we're going international.

I just hope I haven't
taken on too much.

Ah!
I've got that's gone wrong feeling.

(MUSIC FADES OUT)

(LIVELY MUSIC PLAYS)

Essential life skill for the
modern business person

cos a lot of business is done
on the golf course these days.

Our little businesses is doing well.

Um, but...

..in order to benefit some leopards,

Neil has taken on
an Italian rust bucket.
An old Lancia.

The idea is we do the car up

so the owner can sell it
to raise funds

to support his
new leopard enclosure. I know.

My worry is, though,
Neil's love of animals

means things are going
to get out of hand,

and it's gonna end up costing me.

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
Yeah.

Here we go.
Another day another downer.

Lanica. Italian. 1908s. Rust.
They just go together like that.

It's a marriage made in heaven.

The whole car is thin,
but the roof is very thin.
You can push it.

And it's like paper. If it was,
an ideal world,

you could buy a complete
new roof skin. Weld it on.

But it's not back in the day.
It's now.
And you can't get a roof skin.

So this panel, which is rotten,
I'm going to have to make.

But anyway, think about it this way.

We're saving a nearly extinct car,
and we're actually doing
a bit of good for the planet

and saving some
nearly extinct leopards.

So they need somewhere to live.
And we got to help them.

I've got to help them.
So if you're watching this leopards,
I'm trying, I'm trying.

As Neil seems focused
on devising ways
to break the business,

I need to compensate
and bring in more work.

Right. We're going to have
a meeting then.

Yes. Very grown up.

It is.
Right. What jobs have we got?

Right. There's a couple
of inquiries.

Uh, first one's a military vehicle.
It's called Pinzgauer.
Yeah.

It needs a respray.
But I wasn't too sure
that was really our bag

and whether it really fit
with what we do.

Bit unusual though isn't it?
Pinzgauer.
Pinzgauer.

I know what one is.
I've seen them many times.
cos I'm an expert.

So it's like an off road sort of...
Yeah.

It's like a troupe carrier type
thing. Why has he got it?

I think his sons in the military
is probably the connection there.

He's always had
interest in military vehicles.

Show me the details.
I'm give him a call.

I'm intrigued. You've piqued
my interest. Thank you, Soph.

Thank you.
I'll get back to work.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello. It's zookeeper Alan.

Ringing to check up
on the Lancia no doubt.

I thought I'd check on it.
See how it's going.

Yeah, no, we're OK, mate.
I've been flat out
on it to be honest.

I've been trying to have
a few areas, get the welding done.

How are the leopards?

Leopards are doing well.
They're getting impatient.
as are we.

I tell you what, Neil. I'll give you
a little sweetener.

If you want you can come
be a zookeeper for a day.

Honestly?
Honestly.

That would be an amazing experience.

Don't worry. I'm on the case.

You're on budget.
The car will look amazing.

And you'll definitely get
your enclosure for the leopards.

Brilliant. That's what it's
all about. Bye, Neil. Take care.

All right, mate. Nice to see you.
Bye bye, bye-bye.
Bye.

Hello.
Hello.

Right. Alan with the Lancia.
Yes.

He's offered me a day to be
a zookeeper at the safari park.
Zookeeper.

Taking it so I can go there
for the day.

And, and, and to be
a zookeeper for the day.

Are you going?
Well, we got to look after him.
He's a good customer.

It's all public relations.
I've got to go there,

talk about the car.
What about the Lancia?

It's all right, you know, perfect.

Zookeeper. Right.

I love the way he dresses it up
as customer relations.

What? With the animals.

Maybe there'll be a parrot
that wants a Fiat restoring.

It's unlikely.

(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

Mark. It's Richard from
The Smallest Cog. Hello.

How are you?
I'm well, thank you.

We got your inquiry about
the Pinzgauer

and, um, I'm intrigued.

Why have you got it? What do you
want to do, how can we help?

Cos I'm an idiot.
OK. Nice to meet you.
That's a great intro.

So I wanted something that was
kind of unique and different.

That was kind of idiot proof.

And I'm ex-forces, my son's
in the military at the moment.

Uh, and we break everything.
Yeah, you do.

Yeah, it's true. You're going
on a trip in it?

Yeah. We're going to Morocco.

So what needs doing to it?
What do you want?

So ideally need to paint.
Are you turning into a camper?

Yeah, it's going to be
a camper in the back.

I love that it's father
and son going adventuring on it.

That you're demilitarising it,
making it civilian.

I think they're really cool.
I love off roaders,
and I love camper vans.

So I'd be very happy
for us to look at it.

No, thank you for taking it on.
I'm really happy.

See you. Bye-bye.
See you, sir. Bye-bye.

Look, I've got a thing about
camper vans. I'm not going to lie.

Cos they're sort of
mobile Wendy Houses.

I did have one. I bought,
I commissioned a VW camper
for Mindy and the girls,

cos I thought they'd love it.
And I had it painted
in like a dusky pink.

It was brilliant. And I presented it
to them in the yard.

Look at this girls!
It's like a Wendy House that drives.

And they went, whatever.
They just weren't bothered.

And so if I can't have one,
I'm going to do his for him.

Hopefully he'll bring it along.
We'll have a look.

(SOOTHING MUSIC PLAYS)

If I've learned anything
about business from my
few corporate chumps,

when the sun comes out,
it's time to clear the diary
and hit the golf course.

It's where they meet
half their clients.

So by taking up an offer
from my daughter Izzy
for a free lesson,

I'm hoping I can kill
two birdies with one stone.

OK. Welcome...

Thank you.
..to golfing 101.

I could book a professional but -
I think this is more fun.

This is nice.
This is bonding.

But this is also
a useful business skill.

Cos one day, posh clients
are going to say I'd love you
to restore my Bentley.

So we golf and discuss it.
I need to be able to do that.

How do I hold the stick again?
Yeah. Just like that.

Like that?
Why you wearing boots like that?

You're playing golf. Trainers.

It's what I wear to work. Right.
OK, fine. OK.

Yeah, not like that.

Put your feet straighter.
Feet straighter. Yeah.

I'm really scared.
I really am scared.

You came up too much then.
That didn't feel right.

You're doing something wrong
cos it should go further.

That's very bad.
Bunker.

(METAL CLANGS)
I couldn't tell you
what happened there.

Can I have a go please cos
you seem to have about 57 goes?

Aww. That was straight
and it went towards the car.

I'd like to hit the car.
If they fancy it being repaired.

Of course I know
where it could be done.

Rub that down in there now.

(COGS CHATTERING)

Is he in the right place?

Hi, there.
Hiya!

You looking for
the engineering place?

Richard told me to bring it down.

Has he bought this?
What's is it?

No, no, this is mine.
This is my toy.
It's a Pinzgauer 716.

A what? A pins growler?
Pins, pins growler. Pinzgauer.

Gauer?
Yeah. Originally they're Austrian.

It's actually a Steyr Daimler.
It's Steyr Daimler Puch Pinzgauer.

Proper military -

Yeah, yeah. I think this one
was designed for the Marines.

What you want
done to this then?

It needs a complete spray job.

It's going to be driving through
Europe and into Africa.

So we tend to have problems
driving military vehicles
in certain countries

when you get through checkpoints.
I can imagine.

What colour do you want to paint it?

So ideally, like a gunmetal grey.

Could you leave it with us?
Yeah, definitely.

Thank you very much.
We'll be in touch soon. Cheers.

This is all I need now.
I'll be working all the hours
God sends on the Lancia.

The repairs are taking ages.

And now we've got this Pinzgauer.
This army truck to paint.

But Richard's not here
at the moment.

So I've got a plan. I've got a plan.

And as they say, while the cat's
away the mouse will play.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Well I'm on my way to a place
called Tanc Barratt.

And I'm hoping, fingers crossed,

that I can get some panels
for our Lancia.

So if I can get the tailgate,
two doors,

I can get back to the garage
and I won't have to repair
the doors we've got.

So that should save me
acres of time.

It'll save hours
and hours and hours.

This could be the answer
to my Lancia prayer, with any luck.

Hello, there. I think
I'm in the right place.

Is the boss about?

Uh, I'm Tanc.

Oh, Tanc. Tanc Barratt.
That's your name is it?
That is my name.

That's the company name.
I'm hoping you can help me.

I've got a Lancia Integrale.

And I've got a list of bits here
which I'm desperate for.

I shouldn't use the word desperate.

I shouldn't but I'm being honest.

I need a pair of doors.

But they're the front doors,
I'm hoping they're not...

OK. Yeah.
..difficult.

Tailgate?
Maybe.

Right. Door handles?
We've got those.

Radiator fan. It's corroded.
We got that.

You can get one of them?
Yeah. We should be
able to do most of that.

Yeah, most of that.
You could be a life saver literally.

It's not my life.
Well, actually, more than my life.

My life and the life of a couple
of little tiny leopards.

Leopards?
Leopards, indeed.

Why have they got a car?
Well, no, no, no.

Basically, I'm on a bit of a push.

Cos the chap that owns this car
is selling this car to fund,

believe it or not,
a pound to put some leopards in.

So basically they've got
a wildlife park.

And they're park has
this breeding program where...

Right side doors.
Ah, here's doors.

ShalI I look for the other bits?

Yeah. I'll have a look
at those doors.

Have a look,
ignore the bit at the bottom

where it says leopards,
unless you got any leopards here.

Oh, we're short of leopards
actually, yeah.

I'll go and have a start on this
and leave you with those. OK?

OK, mate.
I'll mush through these.
Right ho. Cheers.

We're very lucky
to have found this place,

cos our doors
are absolutely wrong.

But if I spent a day on a door,
it's going to be 500 quid a day.

And the time.
That's two days I'm saving.

Those two doors there are perfect.

All we need now is the tailgate,
the other bits, get it loaded up,

sort of price out and get home.

This is Lansia Delta heaven.

There's a few in here. Here.
Just a few.

That's a dream. A dream.

There we are. There's our panels.

Hopefully they're going
to save me a lot of time.

Do you think you'd better it
so I know I'm asking a lot but

any sort of discount at all without,

and it's not genuinely not for me.
It's about the leopards.

We'll do 10% on this stuff here
for the leopards.

All right? I like leopards.
Thank you very much.

I know I'm not, I'm not
trying to blag you in any way.

You're alright, I believe you.
I believe you.

I thank you on behalf
of the leopards.
Thanks.

Should we get these in the van now?
Yeah, get these in the van now
and get going I'll be a happy boy.

Ooh, you all right with that?
Yeah, yeah. I've got it.

OK.
Let me get the tailgate.

Thank you very much.
I really appreciate it.

Bye.
Ta ta.

Last year, Team Cogs debut on
the racetrack was a chequered one.

ABBIE: It's died.
Minus the flag.

Ah, what a shame.

Oh, hang on. What's that?
STEWARD: It stopped on circuit.

We failed to finish a race.

This year I want it to be different.

I've asked Anthony to join me
in my office.

Cos we need to talk
motor racing.
Not a tricky conversation.

He knows it's got to improve cos
I can't just throw money away
for the fun of it.

So I want to see an improvement
in the car and in his driving.

In the whole effort.
Let's make it worthwhile.

Here he comes.

So, motor sport.
Want to have a quick chat.

Not the big chat.
Yes, we're going to carry on.

We want to be better.
We do.

We don't need to be...
It's our second year.

..exactly. Don't need to be
on the podium yet.

I want, you know,
ambitions to be realistic.

If we can get to an end of a race
that would be the first achievement.

Totally agreed. So let's finish
a race and then let's get some

sort of respectable place.
Not at the back.
Yeah.

So with that in mind, booked
a day's testing Llandow track.

And this time, yeah,
let's get the thing out.
Exercising for a while.

Let's stack up some laps.
Yeah, not just two laps, come in.
We need a fair stint.

What have you done to the car?

Gearbox. Close ratio, straight cut
box, stronger, reliable.
Yeah.

Bigger radiator, more coolers.

So hopefully
we won't have the overheating.

How far off is the car being ready?
I want to do this fairly soon.

We're ready.
I've been on top of it.
Really?

I've got everything together.
The car is built.

Good to go. All right, all right.

Just let me know a date
and we'll be sorted.

Get it to you shortly. Cheers bud.
Cheers Rich.

Richard's just come up with
an idea of going, taking the MGB

to Llandow for a test day,

which to be fair,
the car is ready to go.

I'm not worried about the car.

I'm worried about me
having a shakedown.

So, I think the best thing to do

is probably give Ric a call
as he is our motorsport guru.

He always says to me that if
I need any tuition,
just get on the phone.

So I think that's going
to be my next step.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

It's morning o'clock and Alan's
invited me down for the day
to be a zookeeper.

So I get to see our
friendly leopards
who we're trying to help,

and I just can't wait.

(ANIMAL SOUNDS)

Ah, Neil.
Morning, Alan.
Nice to see you mate.

Ready to do some work? We go
straight in. We're running late.

Meerkats is where start.
Yeah.

So these guys need their breakfast,
a bit of enrichment.

So we get some food for them,
get you straight to work.

If that's all right?
I'm looking forward to it.

Ideal. Let's go.

You been around meerkats before?

Never.
OK.

They look really cute,
but they can bite.
Oh, right.

But if you get bitten by these,

there's no point
in doing the wolves.
(NEIL LAUGHS)

Let's see how we get on
with these. Yeah?
Oh, there they are. Hello.

Put that there. Hello. Here you are.

Seeing as I'm here,
could you put me in the way

of any cheap car insurance,
could you?

Onto primates now I think.

He's looking at me
as I'm the food delivery man.

Seeing as I know you.
You can have a little bit of carrot.

(LAUGHS)

So how's the car going?
It will be, well, put it this way.

It's going to be absolutely really
good condition for you to sell.

It's got to be right.
There's no point in doing it if not.

There's no point spoiling the job
the last minute.

It might take a little bit longer
but we'll get there
and it'll be good.

You'll be happy and the outcome
will be you get as much money
as you can to build that pen.

He's being a little bit cagey on
how far he's got it done or not.

He keeps saying it's nearly
in paint, it's in paint.
It's in paint.

So I'm not really sure.
I've got an auction in mind.
It's not too far away.

It's a nice big auction,
but I need Neil to understand

how important this is to get
the money we need for the leopards.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Hello?
Hello.

Hey, hi.
Just had Ric on the phone.

Ric Wood.
Ric Wood.

He's given me an opportunity
to go this Saturday to drive,

believe it or not,
his race-prepped Skyline,

to get some practice.
Ooh.

Where?
Donington.

I'm a little bit worried
if I do go.
Why?

You've got an MGB and a Skyline,
four times its power.

It'll be a bit bitey.

I reckon you should do it.
Yeah.

Yeah. Good idea.
Enjoy your day out.
Perfect. As long as you're happy.

Thank you.

One thing I've learned
about running businesses
over the years,

it's that everybody else
gets to have a day out.

Not me. I'll have a day in.

(SEAL CLICKS)
There you are. Perfect.

Good boy. There you go, Morgan.

Bon appetite.

This is absolutely amazing.
There you go.

He's like a big, salty sea dog.

If I can get you
to go behind me.
Right, OK.

We're going to start with one
of his favourite games. Training.
Oh, lovely.

(SEAL HONKS)
Go. So if you just do this
behind you.

Yes! Get it.

OK, walk.

(AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING)

(SEAL KISSES)
(LAUGHS)

Good boy!
(SEAL HONKS)

Aah!

It's love.
How good was that?

Unbelievable.
Bit of a bonus.

People can rarely do that.
I don't get many kisses.

Get the car done. Get the car done.
You can do it again.

I've got an auction coming up.
I've lined it up. It's soon.

The car will be done.
It will be there. I promise you.

I would love to see the leopards
before I go. Bye Morgan, bye.

(SEAL MOANS)

I'm just going to see
if my mates are in.

This is where the leopards
live at the moment.

Ah, there he is.

Hiya, mate. Don't worry, I'm working
on Alan's car,
I'm going to get it sorted.

The Lancia is getting done.

I'm not going to let you down,
I'm not going to let Alan down.

(LIVELY MUSIC PLAYS)

Big day then.
The thing is, they get
the opportunity to drive

a Skyline Group A race car.
It should make the MGB child's play.

Yeah, it's like they say,
practise makes perfect.

What does that tell you?
Ric must trust you, letting you
have a go in a car like that.

Llandow's coming up, and hopefully
having a bit of seat time now...

Yeah.
..will pay off, going there,

and hopefully put a bit of faith in
me and keep that going with Richard.

Yeah.
Cos, honestly,
this is not a cheap hobby.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Back at Donington.
The place it all started.

And now it's actually stepping up
to the Big Boy League of cars,

which is quite terrifying, really.

I'm going from 160 horsepower
to about 650.

But if I want to progress in racing,
I need to actually jump in

summat that is fast and handles
way better than the MGB.

So I need to go and find him now.

There he is.

Anthony mate, how are you?
I'm all right.

Warming her up, warming her up.
We got to dash, a drivers briefing.
Yeah.

Two places booked?
Yep.

If you said to Anthony
five years' time, you're coming

to Donington and help in
a proper professional race team,

with high tech, 6, 700
horsepower car

and actually going out on a track

and experiencing
what that feels like.

That is the dream come true
for anybody, surely.

It's nice and warm.
It's ready for you.

Let's get you in.
All right.

It is like driving a Nissan Micra

and then borrowing
your mate's Lamborghini.

The braking, the cornering.

This car would show most of the
other cars on this track

a clean pair of heels.

So they are amazingly fast
and we'll see what his reaction is.

My biggest fear is not stalling it
cos the clutch is on and off.

It's literally...
(CLUTCH CLICKING RAPIDLY)

He used to play this
on a computer game,

and now this is the real deal.
The real thing on the real day.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

OK?
She's on and off, ain't she?

Yeah.

Just come off the clutch
real slowly like you're slipping it.

That's it. That's better. Better.

(CAR ENGINE REVS)

(CARS REVVING)

Nice and smooth.

Aim for the curve here.

Should be around soon,
if he hasn't stalled it.

So the main thing is
you're looking at is traffic,
not outbraking yourself.

Blinking heck!

The main thing is the smoothness,
your smoothness.

Don't do anything in a hurry.

Take a dab on the brakes there.

Ooh, he ain't hanging around there!
Is it lunchtime?

Keep off these big sausages

so hit the brakes
in a straight line.

We'll go in this lap.

That was awesome.

What I want you
to concentrate on next time

are your lines, your braking point.

The brakes are totally different.
So?

A bit earlier.
A bit earlier on the brakes.

Yeah.
And then I think you'd be fine.

Yeah. And you just tend to be
turning in too early
and aggressively.

I don't want to hurt your girl.
Oh, no. No, darling.

I was panicking a bit there
for a minute or two,

but only cos the braking.

Can you see that you can get
into trouble with that?

Easy, wouldn't take much, would it?

That's an eye opener,
compared to the MGB. Oh, my God.

Did your foot slip off
the clutch when out there?

I like to see you try and pull away.

We weren't laughing at you at all.
Wouldn't cross our minds.

Hey.
Everybody's waiting.

Hey. Hey. I've driven
a Skyline round Donington.

Yeah. You have. You're very lucky.

Should we go out for dinner?
I think you should buy anyway,
not the other way around.

I ain't got my wallet.
I got no pockets. (CHUCKLES)

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS)

You see this is the problem.

As I first thought when I saw
this Pinzgauer turn up.

When you change the colour
of a military car to a road spec,

it's a lot, lot more work
than you'd ever believe

cos they painted it like
a matte green,

which hides every mark.

Door handles, all the rubbers,
all the trims,

even the windscreen rubber.
Everything is just painted green.

The only thing not
painted green was the glass.

But now it's going to go to like
a grey metallic grey and black.

You got to try and get
as many marks as you can

cos it'll be shiny for once
and it'll show all the dents,

all the scratches or anything.

Just feels like such a massive task.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Thing is, I thought
I bought a bit of time

by getting the parts for the Lancia

but now it's one step forward,
two steps back.

I'd rather be working on the Lancia
and I need to be on the Lancia,

but the Pinzgauer is now
in its dark grey primer,

so it's ready
for its top coat of paint.

But cos the Pinzgauer is so big,
if tries to paint it himself,

it will dry before he
reaches the other side.

I'll have to paint one side,
he'll have to paint the other.

I can't remember
last time I painted something.

Didn't you do your fence
that day?

It'll still come out
better than you.

I ain't really that worried.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(LIVELY MUSIC PLAYS)

Right hand down a little bit.
Woah. Come on, five foot.

Oh, hello. Look at that.

Looks different, doesn't it?
Does it ever!

Looks a bit menacing though,
doesn't it?

It looks really cool.

Looks like a SWAT team's been
to the charity carwash.

You're happy with the paint, I mean
it's not a show car.

You could never make it a show car.

You could if you spent
50 million quid.

Considering it's an army vehicle,
it's come out real nice.

Worries me a bit though.
What? It's really good.

He wanted it painted cos
it looked like a military vehicle.

Looks like a body SWAT vehicle now.

Police. Actually.

Now think about it cos
he's taking it to areas

where you don't want to be seen.

This is more -
Special forces.

If I saw that coming up behind me
or over the hill

in a dodgy area, I think
that's from a Bond villains.

It's cool though, init?
Yes, it's very cool.
I am very jealous.

Basically a forward control
version of Mercedes G-Wagon?

I want that.

You'd have a tow bar on it,
wouldn't you?
Yeah.

Isaac is taking the Pinzgauer
back to the owner Mark,

who is going to get it kitted
for his adventure.

He just going to have the best time.
Bit jealous.

Cos I love
any sort of mobile home.

I can have another kind of
daddy daughter bonding experience
now cos...

Hello, is that Izzy Ballesteros?
Hello.

Well, it's time
for my next golf experience.

Yes, the time has come. Yeah.
(INDISTINCT)

All right. See you there. OK.
Don't forget your bats.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Come in.

Hi Sophie? I'm fine.
How are you?

Good thanks, how you can I help?

Is Richard in? Can I go up?

He's at a place called Twin Lakes
at the minute.

Twin Lakes. What's that?

I don't want to drop him in it.
I think it might be a golf course.

Don't tell me he's gone off to
a golf course when we had a meeting.

Hm.

Izzy. I'm going to read it?
It's going to fall away that way.
So I'm going to go like that.

They do this on the telly
all the time. Right.
Here goes you are going to be...

Crazy. There's no one around.

It feels like a Liam Neeson movie
hunting someone down.

Shall I do the flag?
Can do if you like.
I mean, take it now.

Why are you that close to me?

You haven't seen
Richard Hammond, have you?
Don't know who he is.

You don't know Richard Hammond?
The Richard Hammond.

No, I'm on the hunt for him.

Not for an autograph.
I work with him. (CHUCKLES)

Thank you.

Push?
Yeah, Just not, just,
just really just touch it.

It doesn't have to be hard.

Push.
Yeah, that was much better.

I'm getting quite good
at driving this.

I could be Richard's caddy.
(CHUCKLES)

I think that might be Richard.
Let's have a look.
I think we're in luck.

No, I wanna get that better.

Yeah. Yeah, that's literally it.
Mr. Hammond.

Hello. Kamla, how are you?
I'm fine. How are you?

Very well, thank you.
A little bird told me
you might be here. Hi.

Hi, Izzy.
Hello.

I think this is lovely father
and daughter time.

I do. I genuinely think it's lovely.
But we did have a meeting.

Today? Wait...
I'm so sorry Izzy.

No. OK. It's nice.
It's Daddy daughter bonding.
And I love it. I love it.

This is an essential business skill.

Honestly, this man
is full of excuses.
Literally.

Is he like this at home, Izzy?
Yeah.

I'm sorry.
What was that meeting about?

About the MGB. And having
looked at the figures,

I can see why you're trying
to escape this meeting.

We spent...

Well, you obviously got no idea.

It's just tipped over 60,000.

Think of the spending
thus far on racing as an investment.

Just to get over the edge
just to get to the problem of right.
The car is ready.

You've got to give it
one more shakedown.

If, for the sake
of another small investment,

we have to write off our
big investment, that would be silly.

So OK, so we spent 60,000 so far.

I mean, are we talking about
another 20 and 10 another five?

Five. Izzy, can you be
a witness to this?

Right. It keeps going up.
So, just sort it out. Yeah?

OK.
Go on, do some work.
I'm going to play golf.

Sorry to cut up your time, Izzy.
Oh no, don't you worry.

She's heartbroken.
I'm gonna have a lovely time.

He's happy for you to go.
Were you winning?

Of course, I'm winning.
(RICHARD CACKLES)

Come on, then. Let's talk business.

Good luck, Izzy.
Bye.

One day, I'll do a deal
on a golf course.

I can't wait for that day,
Richard Hammond.

Right. Drive on.
Right. Come on then.

Aah!
Come on. You're making me nervous!

Come on, behave yourself.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS)

Why are the lights on?

(CAR ENGINE REVVING IN DISTANCE)

I hope Richard's not here.

Oh, it's you. What are you
doing here at this time?

Ric has told me I need
to get better on my braking,

and my racing lines.
I've found a game that does that.

But I'm not allowed
to play it at home,
so I bring it to work.

So you're not playing.
You're doing homework?

Yeah. What are you doing?

I'm behind on the Lancia. I don't
want Richard to know.

I'm just trying to catch up
with nobody knowing. OK.

If I didn't see you,
you didn't see me.

I haven't seen you at all.
So how's the MG getting on?

Yeah. Good.
Don't even worry about the MG.

Got it sort.
It's all fine. It's all in hand.

I thought I had gone back
in time for a minute.

It looked like your bedroom
when you were a kid.
It feels like it.

Hey, once you've done that,
clean your room up.

Yes, Dad.

Wow, it's all good. Anthony's doing
his homework and driving his cars.

But I know that MG's got
a new gearbox, new radiator.

The brakes got to be sorted.

He seems to be a bit preoccupied
with his driving,
and not so much with the car,

which is a bit concerning cos
if you were a pilot,

you wouldn't just jump in your
aeroplane without checking it over,
would you?

(BANGING)

(MOTIVATIONAL MUSIC PLAYS)

It's test day.

So we're on our way
to Llandow racetrack in Wales.

Abbie, our expert professional
driver, will be here for the day.

Two reasons.
Give the car a shakedown.

Get it ready for this season
and as importantly,

if not more importantly,
our driver Anthony.

I've given him more responsibility.

We ask him any question about
that car any time of day or night

he should know the answer.

And that's outside of work.

This is a treat and a privilege.

It's for the benefit of the company
which is why he's doing it.

But it is a treat and a privilege
I need to see him earning it.

I've no doubt that he will.

It's nice to see her
back ready to go.

I've actually been excited
to get back in it.

Nerves again.

It is a nice day for it.
We can't deny that.

Work has been done,
improvements have been made.

Let's see how
those improvements work.

That's all we're gonna do today.
Hopefully good.

Yeah! No pressure,
no pressure, some pressure.

There is a lot of pressure, Rich.

Get it off, then. Let's get her off
and do some testing.

Today's the first time
the car's been out since

it's kind of refreshed
in the off season.

Main thing is to obviously
blow the cobwebs off and for myself

to drive the car and make sure
we're going in the right direction.

I'm not going to be given Anthony
quite as much forgiveness

when he makes mistakes.

Hello.
How are you?

Good. How are you?
Very well.

Heading under the bonnet already.
Checking.

Tried it yet?
No. It's going to be its first test.

So this is basically a shakedown.

It's going to be a run around
to get the gearbox warm.

Make sure you've put
everything in right.

I'll get the list ready.
Get you out. Get a few laps in.

Out was 27 with me.

Fingers crossed.
Fingers are indeed crossed
for the little car.

Gearbox fine. Rad 60 degrees.
Or lower.

If it's lower than 60. Yeah.
So 70 now so should be alreet.

Oil pressure and running over
3000rpm 55 to 60.

Water temp 70 to 80, 90 max.

You will adjust the engine.
Yeah. You OK with that?

Yeah. Sounds good.

Oh, it sounds like a race car now.
Let's go and have a look over there.

Still moving.

Taking it nice and steady,
just let everything bed in.

Love that whine.
Sounds like a supercharger.

Gearbox is noisy
in second and third.

Feel like that's
a new sound from last time.

Oil pressure is 50, that's fine.

Water's down about 70.

That car looks nice out there,
don't it?

Cheeky that was, wasn't it?
She's got a brake issue.

How do you reckon that?
Locking up there. You can just tell.

All right. Here she comes.
Let's double check everything.
Let's have a look.

So everything's still green.

Steering wheels off to the right.

Biggest thing we need to get
these brakes sorted.

They don't stop at all.

Pedals just really spongy.
There's no bite on it.

Right. What can you do
about the brakes today?

We can bleed them. If we get some
fluid now, we can bleed them off.
OK.

You want to know that
when you go for the brake pedal

that there's going to be
some brakes there to stop you.

Job number one.

Yeah.

Oh, actually...
Has that fell off?

It has. Look at
that brake pad there.

There it is there on the floor.
That's brake pad.

(BLEEP)

Half the brake pads fell off.

This is a brake problem now.

Yeah. This isn't a very good thing.

So what's happened is
that has broken up.

When you press the brake,
it should sandwich between the disc.

That's the friction material that

actually stops you
and it's broken up.

So the travel that Abbie could feel
on the brake pedal

isn't air in the brakes.
It's the travel on the piston,
cos that's broken up.

I think these are the pads
we had at Silverstone, wasn't it?

Yeah. These are the problem is about
a few heat cycles through them now.
Yeah.

That's just their service life.

Have we got any of the other
brake pads with us?
No.

I had to take a call and then
it's gone very quiet.

Something we couldn't have predicted
has actually happened.

The brake pad is fallen in half.

That's something you can't really...

We could have prevented it
by having spares.

So we've hired a racetrack
and a racing driver,

and we've rebuilt a car.

And we haven't got
a spare one of these.

That is a cock up.

We haven't got any spare brake pads.
It's a race car.

We need a box of brake pads.

Tyres, brake fluid, jubilee clips,
washers, shims.

That's a new record.
That's our biggest ever
waste of time and money.

A day out of the workshop,
no work done, a track booked -

I'm not being funny
but that is beyond a joke...

That's a consumable.
That's like setting out with no...

..no wheel in your car when you're
going on holiday.

I'm overwhelmed
by our professionalism.

I'm going to go and sulk.

I felt guilty cos
a lot of people give their time up
to come here.

Richard's given up, obviously still
paying our wages just to be here.

And what've we achieved?
Five laps and that's it.

And...

The pressures just hit me massively,
I think.

It's not really a game, is it?

It's people's money and people's
livelihoods and that hurts.

Yo, Rich.
Yo.Yes.

I'm very gutted to be fair.

We've got to sharpen it.
You know that,

and I'm being very calm,
and I'm not being all shouty.
Yeah.

But obviously I'm bitterly
disappointed. And frustrated.

But I'm happy to take a really
important lesson from the day

and also in terms of structuring.

So the second that cargo
is back on the train,
it is your responsibility.

And if we've run out
of a consumable,

whether it's brake fluid,
brake pads,
it doesn't end with Neil.

Right. We'll get there.
Lesson learned.

I feel bad. Bad for all this.
Yeah, well. Lesson learned.

OK. Cheers, Rich.
Cheers Ant.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

I suspect he feels stupid,
and if he doesn't,

he's not taking responsibility.

But he's on his last, last chance.

It's a kick up
the backside cos

ultimately we've come here
a year later, we expected to be...

..a year later further on.

We all know it wasn't our best day.

We haven't covered ourselves
in glory.

We covered ourselves in something
that belongs on those fields
certain times of the year.

Comes out of one of them, right?
That's exactly what it is, Abbie.

But hey, I think this will be
one of our biggest lessons.

Let's go back. And one thing
when Andrew asks, how did it go?

Brilliant. Cars great!

Best day we ever had.
(LAUGHS)
