1
00:00:24,460 --> 00:00:28,259
Hello and welcome to
an all-new series of Top Gear.
2
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:30,299
We're back
and we've been hard at work.
3
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:34,619
Yeah, and you know how we used to
get a bit big and explodey?
4
00:00:34,620 --> 00:00:39,219
Well, this series we're trying a
quieter, more cerebral approach.
5
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:40,619
Nah, we're just kidding.
6
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:41,940
It's still going to be like this.
7
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:53,059
- Three... - Yeah.
8
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:54,899
..two...
9
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:56,539
..one...
10
00:00:56,540 --> 00:00:57,700
..go!
11
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:01,339
OK, we're up and away.
12
00:01:01,340 --> 00:01:02,620
Ho, ho, ho!
13
00:01:05,180 --> 00:01:07,379
This doesn't look good.
I'm heading on the grass.
14
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:08,620
Chris has lost control!
15
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:13,620
Jesus!
16
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:19,060
Yee-haw!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
17
00:01:20,060 --> 00:01:21,620
How smooth is that?
18
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:25,739
It feels like it wants to go over.
19
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:28,180
- Where? - Everywhere.
20
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:33,900
I can administer a wet willy.
21
00:01:35,140 --> 00:01:38,300
This is like having a child
test the rear seat.
22
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:45,860
It does 97mph in first gear.
23
00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:48,100
Pow!
24
00:01:52,220 --> 00:01:53,740
I love overtaking!
25
00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:03,259
♪ Ain't no stopping it
26
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:05,179
♪ Ain't no stopping it
27
00:02:05,180 --> 00:02:07,180
♪ Ain't no stopping it
28
00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:16,340
You just wrecked my tuk-tuk.
29
00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:18,820
Yeah, that's my bad.
30
00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:28,899
OK, all that coming up
over the next few weeks.
31
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:31,939
But first,
let's talk station wagons.
32
00:02:31,940 --> 00:02:33,659
He means estate cars.
33
00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:36,059
Now, for the last couple of years,
34
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:40,059
this has been the pick of the bunch,
the benchmark, the Skoda Superb.
35
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:42,739
Rubbish name, cracking car.
36
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:45,659
But recently, we've seen a bunch
of new contenders trying to beat
37
00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:47,459
the Skoda at its own game.
38
00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:50,739
So, the producers told Chris and I
to each choose our favourite
39
00:02:50,740 --> 00:02:52,859
practical family station wagon.
40
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:53,900
Estate car.
41
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:59,379
And prepare for a series
of challenges
42
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:02,019
in the land of the Viking.
43
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:03,540
Shut it.
44
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:16,179
This is Norway.
45
00:03:16,180 --> 00:03:21,700
Ancient, rugged and home to some
of the world's most stunning roads.
46
00:03:23,420 --> 00:03:28,099
So, when choosing a practical
family estate car to test here,
47
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:30,340
there was only one choice.
48
00:03:32,380 --> 00:03:34,019
This is what you want.
49
00:03:34,020 --> 00:03:37,619
The Porsche Panamera Turbo
Sport Turismo.
50
00:03:37,620 --> 00:03:40,059
Now, I'll admit at £121,000,
51
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:44,699
it's the upper limit of the family
estate car market.
52
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:46,020
But it's pretty cool.
53
00:03:47,540 --> 00:03:51,339
Yes, it's £101,000 more
than your Skoda Superb estate
54
00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:54,140
but you do get a lot more
for your money.
55
00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:58,459
For starters, I've got
four-wheel-drive.
56
00:03:58,460 --> 00:04:02,500
I've got a twin turbo 540hp V8.
57
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:05,139
I've got it covered here.
58
00:04:05,140 --> 00:04:07,140
I wonder what
Matt's going to turn up in.
59
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:09,940
He's going to hate this.
60
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,699
I don't believe it.
61
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:18,979
Ferrari GTC4Lusso.
62
00:04:18,980 --> 00:04:20,819
You git!
63
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:22,979
And I bet it's the V12, isn't it?
64
00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:24,539
Well, yeah.
65
00:04:24,540 --> 00:04:27,779
That's a £230,000 car.
66
00:04:27,780 --> 00:04:32,979
No, no, it's a £230,000
family estate.
67
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:34,019
You've cheated!
68
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:35,659
Well, technically,
we've both cheated.
69
00:04:35,660 --> 00:04:37,300
I just cheated better than you.
70
00:04:44,660 --> 00:04:48,659
So, the Ferrari GTC4Lusso.
71
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:52,580
Quite possibly the coolest
estate in the world.
72
00:04:54,700 --> 00:05:00,459
It's got a naturally aspirated
V12 engine that makes 690hp.
73
00:05:00,460 --> 00:05:01,659
Or to put it another way,
74
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:06,939
an entire Skoda Superb
more than Harris's Porsche.
75
00:05:06,940 --> 00:05:11,300
This is a family estate
that'll do 208mph.
76
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:15,459
And that's the kind of speed
your family will really appreciate.
77
00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:16,859
"Are we there yet, Dad?"
78
00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:18,779
"Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?"
79
00:05:18,780 --> 00:05:21,259
"Yes, as a matter of fact,
we are, son."
80
00:05:21,260 --> 00:05:22,660
"We arrived half an hour ago."
81
00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:29,940
Hey, Chris, what's the 0-60 time
on that Porsche Pananarama?
82
00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:33,179
It's a Panamera.
83
00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:35,139
And it's 3.8 seconds.
84
00:05:35,140 --> 00:05:37,219
This is 3.4 seconds.
85
00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:39,899
And that'll really come in handy
on the school run.
86
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:42,339
You get an extra 0.4 seconds in bed.
87
00:05:42,340 --> 00:05:45,139
And you know what else you get
for that 230 grand?
88
00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:46,300
Listen to this.
89
00:05:58,460 --> 00:06:01,099
Chris, I can't hear your car.
Is it switched on?
90
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:02,259
Yeah, very, very funny.
91
00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:03,659
But, more to the point,
92
00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:06,860
the acoustics of tunnels
are actually very, very interesting.
93
00:06:08,980 --> 00:06:12,059
When your tunnel, like this one,
has an uneven surface,
94
00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:15,420
that causes the sound waves
to diffract in random...
95
00:06:19,580 --> 00:06:21,459
Sorry, what did you say?
96
00:06:21,460 --> 00:06:22,700
Stop doing that. I can't...
97
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:27,540
What?
98
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:32,939
OK, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help
but refract there.
99
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:35,059
Now, another interesting point
for you.
100
00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:38,939
Did you know the firing order
of an engine has a huge effect
101
00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:40,139
on how it sounds?
102
00:06:40,140 --> 00:06:43,819
So, for example, this Porsche V8
has a firing order - one, three,
103
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:46,179
seven, two, six, five, four, eight.
104
00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:48,260
And Ferrari's flat-plane V8
goes - one...
105
00:06:58,940 --> 00:07:03,059
With Norway echoing to the sound
of the world's best and second-best
106
00:07:03,060 --> 00:07:07,220
estate cars, it wasn't long before
we got some local attention.
107
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:13,579
Hey, look, it's Braveheart.
108
00:07:13,580 --> 00:07:15,340
No, that's a Viking.
109
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:21,099
What do you think he wants?
110
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:23,500
I don't know, he's got an axe.
Why don't you go and find out?
111
00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:35,699
Hi. Morning.
112
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:37,180
Did you ever see Braveheart?
113
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:41,060
Beautifully handled.
114
00:07:45,540 --> 00:07:46,979
It's from the producers.
115
00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:50,379
It says, "Since you have failed to
bring sensible family estates..."
116
00:07:50,380 --> 00:07:52,579
That's a matter of opinion.
117
00:07:52,580 --> 00:07:55,619
"you might as well head to
Norway's greatest driving road,
118
00:07:55,620 --> 00:07:57,099
the Trollstigen."
119
00:07:57,100 --> 00:07:58,220
Sweet.
120
00:07:59,340 --> 00:08:00,539
That's a...
121
00:08:00,540 --> 00:08:03,819
"However, since you maintain
your cars are practical..."
122
00:08:03,820 --> 00:08:06,019
- Which they are. - One of them is.
123
00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:09,540
"their usefulness
will be tested en route. Now go."
124
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:14,779
All right, take it easy.
125
00:08:14,780 --> 00:08:15,820
Nice axe.
126
00:08:23,340 --> 00:08:25,699
So, we set off for the Trollstigen,
127
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:29,259
and determined to prove our cars'
practical credentials,
128
00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:34,020
soon we came across the perfect
place for some in-depth testing.
129
00:08:39,340 --> 00:08:40,860
Yes, baby!
130
00:08:42,540 --> 00:08:43,699
Now, you might be asking,
131
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:47,579
why do you need this
kind of pace in a family estate car?
132
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:49,219
Think about it, it'd be practical.
133
00:08:49,220 --> 00:08:50,939
B&Q car park fills up quickly.
134
00:08:50,940 --> 00:08:53,500
You've got to get in there.
You've got to grab that space.
135
00:08:55,260 --> 00:08:57,260
That's why you need the Panamera.
136
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:02,780
I'm telling you, this is the way
to drop the kids off at school.
137
00:09:05,340 --> 00:09:06,859
No need to park up.
138
00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:11,179
Just kick it into a drift,
open the passenger door,
139
00:09:11,180 --> 00:09:14,179
and the kids can just
jump, tuck and roll.
140
00:09:14,180 --> 00:09:15,940
See? Practical!
141
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:20,340
Ho, ho, ho!
142
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:24,659
This four-wheel-drive
system's fantastic
143
00:09:24,660 --> 00:09:27,259
because when I want traction,
the front axle comes with me
144
00:09:27,260 --> 00:09:29,939
and the moment I want to slide
it around, there's a little German
145
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:33,260
brain in there that says, "Yes,
we will let you oversteer now."
146
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:39,739
Now, the GTC4 actually has
two gearboxes.
147
00:09:39,740 --> 00:09:42,420
One for the front axle
and one for the rear...
148
00:09:44,380 --> 00:09:47,780
..which means they can send power
to whichever one can use it best.
149
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:51,539
You don't get that
in a Skoda Superb.
150
00:09:51,540 --> 00:09:54,539
If you'd said to me 15 years ago
I'd be sliding a large Porsche
151
00:09:54,540 --> 00:09:56,819
estate car around, I wouldn't
believe they'd ever build
152
00:09:56,820 --> 00:09:58,339
such a thing.
153
00:09:58,340 --> 00:10:00,819
It's got a pretty good
balance to it.
154
00:10:00,820 --> 00:10:02,419
I mean, it is a big car.
155
00:10:02,420 --> 00:10:03,940
But the motor's just...
156
00:10:11,140 --> 00:10:14,740
That was a sideways LeBlanc
and then a spinning LeBlanc.
157
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:18,740
She got away from me a little bit.
158
00:10:22,820 --> 00:10:25,859
But then I discovered this
playground came with a very
159
00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:27,020
unique feature.
160
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,300
Hey, Chris, take a look at this.
161
00:10:34,820 --> 00:10:36,299
That looks quite dangerous.
162
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:38,740
Yeah, get it wrong here,
and you are getting wet.
163
00:10:40,420 --> 00:10:44,140
Which gave me an idea
for an even better practical test.
164
00:10:47,460 --> 00:10:49,979
OK, top speed challenge.
165
00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:53,259
Fast as you can get before
you have to hit the brakes.
166
00:10:53,260 --> 00:10:57,339
Loser is the one who goes slowest,
or ends up in the sea and drowns.
167
00:10:57,340 --> 00:11:00,539
- You ready? - Can I just point out,
this is very unfair?
168
00:11:00,540 --> 00:11:03,899
My top speed, 190mph.
169
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:06,899
Your top speed, 208mph.
170
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:07,979
Yeah, I'll go first.
171
00:11:07,980 --> 00:11:10,180
You, er...
You keep an eye out for planes.
172
00:11:21,460 --> 00:11:22,580
There's 100.
173
00:11:25,260 --> 00:11:26,620
There's 130.
174
00:11:28,020 --> 00:11:29,060
Yeah!
175
00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:36,700
177... I'm braking.
176
00:11:38,140 --> 00:11:40,860
Brake! Brake! Brake! Brake! Brake!
Brake! Brake! Brake! Brake! Brake!
177
00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:46,899
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
178
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:48,859
177 to beat.
179
00:11:48,860 --> 00:11:50,900
Time for the Pananaramadingdong.
180
00:11:53,020 --> 00:11:55,740
Launch control!
That's fierce!
181
00:11:59,060 --> 00:12:00,539
I've got a bit
of a secret weapon here
182
00:12:00,540 --> 00:12:03,580
and I've got 20 seconds of overboost
in sport response mode.
183
00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:09,460
We're still hauling.
We're still hauling.
184
00:12:11,740 --> 00:12:13,020
160.
185
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:15,980
165.
186
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:20,220
Brake! Brake! Brake! Brake! Brake!
Brake! Brake! Brake! Brake! Brake!
187
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:27,700
I wouldn't want to be
much further on than that!
188
00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:33,660
How fast did you go?
189
00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:38,899
First of all,
I definitely braked later than you.
190
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:40,059
That wasn't the challenge.
191
00:12:40,060 --> 00:12:41,139
How fast did you go?
192
00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:43,459
I think I did 165mph.
193
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:44,780
OK, that's good.
194
00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:47,579
Come on!
195
00:12:47,580 --> 00:12:48,619
177.
196
00:12:48,620 --> 00:12:50,819
- 177?! - Yeah.
197
00:12:50,820 --> 00:12:53,179
And you braked like a right wuss
as well!
198
00:12:53,180 --> 00:12:54,220
I did, yeah.
199
00:12:56,260 --> 00:12:59,979
You know, if you weren't so
particular about drowning,
200
00:12:59,980 --> 00:13:01,219
you could have won that.
201
00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:02,419
I still braked later than you.
202
00:13:02,420 --> 00:13:04,459
- You did brake later than me.
- I braked later than you.
203
00:13:04,460 --> 00:13:06,100
You should be proud of yourself!
204
00:13:11,540 --> 00:13:16,459
So, after one round of practical
testing the Ferrari had,
205
00:13:16,460 --> 00:13:20,819
well, killed the Porsche,
and Chris needed a win.
206
00:13:20,820 --> 00:13:22,739
OK, let's talk Isofix.
207
00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:26,339
Very important in any
family estate car. OK?
208
00:13:26,340 --> 00:13:27,499
My Porsche has them.
209
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:28,540
Does your Ferrari?
210
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:30,739
Yes.
211
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:32,579
How many?
212
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:35,099
I'm going, 11.
213
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:36,180
No.
214
00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:38,779
One?
215
00:13:38,780 --> 00:13:40,500
Do you know what Isofix is?
216
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:42,659
No.
217
00:13:42,660 --> 00:13:43,699
Who cares?
218
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,899
Isofix is for babies.
219
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:49,619
Tell me about the fuel
economy in that beautiful V12.
220
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:53,019
I'd say it's, er, appalling.
221
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:56,099
It's got to be around
12 miles to the gallon.
222
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:57,139
How's yours?
223
00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:59,019
About double that. 24.
224
00:13:59,020 --> 00:14:01,659
Double the car,
double the fuel economy.
225
00:14:01,660 --> 00:14:03,779
OK, I'll give him that one.
226
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:05,580
Look, the Viking's back.
227
00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:18,180
Hello.
228
00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:26,500
Still working that axe?
229
00:14:28,980 --> 00:14:30,699
It's from the producers,
Matthew.
230
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:33,299
It's time for a boot space
challenge.
231
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:37,019
The summer solstice is traditionally
marked in Norway with a big bonfire.
232
00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:41,059
You will each load your cars with an
entire tree's worth of firewood
233
00:14:41,060 --> 00:14:44,259
and race to your fjord-side
cabin to build a fire.
234
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:46,540
Last to arrive fixes dinner.
235
00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:55,019
So, the producers wanted
to test our boot space
236
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:57,619
and because they think they're
funny, which they're not,
237
00:14:57,620 --> 00:15:00,979
when they said an entire tree's
worth of firewood,
238
00:15:00,980 --> 00:15:02,460
that's exactly what they meant.
239
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:10,140
Ooh.
240
00:15:11,940 --> 00:15:15,099
That is some green firewood.
241
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:17,299
I'm glad I brought a proper
estate car, then, Matthew.
242
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:18,339
One with a boot.
243
00:15:18,340 --> 00:15:19,539
What do you mean?
244
00:15:19,540 --> 00:15:21,299
Go and open the boot
on that Ferrari.
245
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:22,700
It's absolutely tiny.
246
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:25,619
Come on.
247
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:26,659
Look.
248
00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:28,059
Check it out.
249
00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:29,980
It's got room for everything I need.
250
00:15:31,020 --> 00:15:33,179
Have you felt how hot
the boot floor gets?
251
00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:35,499
If you put the family Labrador
in there, it would cook.
252
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:36,539
Are you done?
253
00:15:36,540 --> 00:15:39,059
Well, look at the leather as well.
So expensive.
254
00:15:39,060 --> 00:15:41,379
How are you going to repair that
when you drag a branch over it?
255
00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:43,059
OK, Chris, on go.
256
00:15:43,060 --> 00:15:44,100
Go!
257
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:48,259
Sport Turismo boot.
258
00:15:48,260 --> 00:15:51,019
Look at the size of this.
Huge, split-fold rear seats.
259
00:15:51,020 --> 00:15:53,139
So, fold this one down.
260
00:15:53,140 --> 00:15:55,819
Where's my button? There we go.
Fold this one down.
261
00:15:55,820 --> 00:15:57,379
And then apply some science.
262
00:15:57,380 --> 00:15:59,459
Look at this science now. Ready?
263
00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:01,259
How long is the boot?
264
00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:03,379
One, two, three paces.
265
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:04,419
How long is my tree?
266
00:16:04,420 --> 00:16:06,619
Well, it's twice the size of Matt's,
obviously.
267
00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:10,699
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine.
268
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:12,300
Three pieces, I'm in. Let's go!
269
00:16:16,220 --> 00:16:19,899
While Matt channelled
his inner lumberjack,
270
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:22,260
my approach was much quicker.
271
00:16:33,540 --> 00:16:34,740
See you!
272
00:16:35,980 --> 00:16:38,139
- Where are you going? - Loser.
273
00:16:38,140 --> 00:16:39,580
You left half the tree!
274
00:16:41,380 --> 00:16:44,340
That's not an entire tree's
worth of firewood!
275
00:16:46,980 --> 00:16:48,019
What is LeBlanc doing?
276
00:16:48,020 --> 00:16:51,179
Anyone knows that the key to doing
well in a race is not how fast
277
00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:54,459
you go, it's how little time
you spend stationary.
278
00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:56,819
While he's messing around
creating a beautiful log pile,
279
00:16:56,820 --> 00:16:57,860
I'm moving.
280
00:17:01,740 --> 00:17:04,339
His extra 160hp doesn't mean
anything here.
281
00:17:04,340 --> 00:17:05,699
He's got to get it on to the surface
282
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:08,180
and I think the Porsche has
a cleverer four-wheel-drive system.
283
00:17:09,580 --> 00:17:12,539
Er, well, I don't know
if all that's going to fit in there.
284
00:17:12,540 --> 00:17:13,779
Oof.
285
00:17:13,780 --> 00:17:16,899
He's going to turn up with
a very neatly arranged log pile
286
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:18,739
in his very small boot.
287
00:17:18,740 --> 00:17:20,659
I don't know how
he plans to beat me.
288
00:17:20,660 --> 00:17:21,700
Easy.
289
00:17:23,260 --> 00:17:25,540
With a Schliesing 220MX.
290
00:17:33,940 --> 00:17:36,620
This feels absolutely insane!
291
00:17:38,220 --> 00:17:43,460
£150,000, 190mph estate car
on the loose.
292
00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:46,620
I've got this nailed.
293
00:17:47,660 --> 00:17:49,340
Not so fast, Chris.
294
00:17:51,740 --> 00:17:53,700
Come on,
he's got to be here somewhere.
295
00:17:56,540 --> 00:17:59,179
My strategy is clearly the best.
296
00:17:59,180 --> 00:18:01,899
That tree in Harris's car's
never going to stay in there.
297
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:02,940
Never.
298
00:18:03,980 --> 00:18:07,459
This is the most fun
way to deliver stuff.
299
00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:10,099
I don't know, wood, food, children.
300
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:12,660
- But then...
- There's a bit of a jump here.
301
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:17,539
BLEEP.
302
00:18:17,540 --> 00:18:19,379
I'm missing a...
303
00:18:19,380 --> 00:18:21,059
Come on, Harris, where are you?
304
00:18:21,060 --> 00:18:22,859
I know you're hiding.
305
00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:24,180
I can smell you!
306
00:18:37,820 --> 00:18:40,059
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
307
00:18:40,060 --> 00:18:43,299
What happened?
308
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:45,019
Just a small... Never mind.
309
00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:47,059
I'll see you at the ford...
The fj-... The fj-...
310
00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:48,220
I'll see you at the lake.
311
00:18:53,660 --> 00:18:55,060
Let's go and catch LeBlanc.
312
00:19:00,380 --> 00:19:03,980
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy, Harris.
313
00:19:05,340 --> 00:19:07,459
Come on, Mr Porsche.
314
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:09,580
We know you're just
better at everything.
315
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:15,259
Let's keep the pace up,
316
00:19:15,260 --> 00:19:18,420
because he is going to be right up
my butt in no time, I know it.
317
00:19:22,180 --> 00:19:23,259
I know I'm catching him.
318
00:19:23,260 --> 00:19:25,460
I know I'm quicker on this surface
than him.
319
00:19:27,380 --> 00:19:31,820
His car is worth £300,000,
for crying out loud.
320
00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:34,940
He must be a little bit nervous.
321
00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:38,260
Come on!
322
00:19:39,340 --> 00:19:41,339
This looks like it's fjord-like
down here.
323
00:19:41,340 --> 00:19:42,619
I'm running out of time.
324
00:19:42,620 --> 00:19:44,420
Let's go. Come on.
325
00:19:56,780 --> 00:19:58,019
There you are!
326
00:19:58,020 --> 00:19:59,939
Ha, ha, ha!
327
00:19:59,940 --> 00:20:01,980
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.
328
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:10,579
Congratulations.
329
00:20:10,580 --> 00:20:13,659
Thank you. So, 2-0 to the Ferrari.
330
00:20:13,660 --> 00:20:17,259
And as the loser,
Chris had to fix dinner.
331
00:20:17,260 --> 00:20:19,260
Scandinavian mystery balls.
332
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,659
Hey, what time's it get dark
around here?
333
00:20:23,660 --> 00:20:25,179
It doesn't get dark.
334
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:28,259
- Never? - Well, around September.
335
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:31,379
Well, I'm pretty sure I'm going
to need to sleep before September.
336
00:20:31,380 --> 00:20:34,259
- You got any more of those
interesting facts? - Yeah.
337
00:20:34,260 --> 00:20:36,939
IKEA's naming strategy. OK?
338
00:20:36,940 --> 00:20:41,179
So, bookshelves,
coffee tables, now,
339
00:20:41,180 --> 00:20:43,579
they're named after Swedish places.
340
00:20:43,580 --> 00:20:45,500
Yeah, that'll do it. Keep talking.
341
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:48,779
And, this is the really clever bit.
342
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:49,899
- Yeah. - You'll love this.
343
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:51,659
I'm dying.
I'm on the edge of my seat.
344
00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:53,699
Hall furniture and beds.
345
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:56,460
Now, they're named after
Norwegian places...
346
00:21:01,380 --> 00:21:04,539
And we will pick up that story
a little later in the show.
347
00:21:04,540 --> 00:21:07,339
Now, here's a little game
we play in the office sometimes.
348
00:21:07,340 --> 00:21:11,979
Imagine you've got £100,000 to buy
two new cars to cover all bases.
349
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:13,139
What do you go for?
350
00:21:13,140 --> 00:21:15,939
OK, well, you've got to go
practicality and performance.
351
00:21:15,940 --> 00:21:20,539
So, I'm thinking Volvo XC90
and a Lotus Elise.
352
00:21:20,540 --> 00:21:22,539
OK, good. But wrong.
353
00:21:22,540 --> 00:21:25,140
Because I've got a much,
much better answer.
354
00:21:31,220 --> 00:21:32,420
Rugged wilderness.
355
00:21:33,940 --> 00:21:35,340
Great driving roads.
356
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:37,980
Practical urban living.
357
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:43,899
For £100,000, picking just two cars
to handle everything Britain
358
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:46,060
has to offer isn't easy.
359
00:21:47,220 --> 00:21:49,700
But I have found the answer.
360
00:21:51,420 --> 00:21:55,819
What you need
is a £15,000 Suzuki Ignis.
361
00:21:55,820 --> 00:21:56,860
And that's it.
362
00:21:59,140 --> 00:22:03,979
Save the rest of your 85 grand
because this is two cars in one.
363
00:22:03,980 --> 00:22:05,420
I mean, it's all the cars in one.
364
00:22:06,780 --> 00:22:08,980
This car does everything.
365
00:22:10,460 --> 00:22:13,099
Bombing around town, tick.
366
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:15,940
Looking great while
bombing around town, tick.
367
00:22:16,980 --> 00:22:20,139
Charging both my phones
while looking great,
368
00:22:20,140 --> 00:22:23,740
while bombing around
town, tick, tick, tick.
369
00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:27,739
It is quite literally the solution
370
00:22:27,740 --> 00:22:30,020
for anything that Britain
can throw at you.
371
00:22:31,020 --> 00:22:34,859
I mean, come on,
you can't drive two cars anyway.
372
00:22:34,860 --> 00:22:38,419
And with the Ignis you don't
have to nip home to change it
373
00:22:38,420 --> 00:22:40,260
when the open road beckons.
374
00:22:46,060 --> 00:22:49,940
Although, admittedly,
it's not what you'd call quick.
375
00:22:51,140 --> 00:22:55,099
It uses a 1.2 litre engine,
which makes, I don't know,
376
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:56,619
several horsepower.
377
00:22:56,620 --> 00:23:04,220
It does 0-60 in under 12 seconds
and tops out at 103mph.
378
00:23:06,580 --> 00:23:11,219
But let's be honest, if your 100
grand garage has some 150mph sports
379
00:23:11,220 --> 00:23:15,820
car, you're going to end up spending
even more cash on speeding tickets.
380
00:23:18,860 --> 00:23:22,740
But in the Ignis, it's basically
impossible to get a speeding ticket.
381
00:23:24,460 --> 00:23:27,859
Don't quote me on that,
especially in a court of law.
382
00:23:27,860 --> 00:23:30,979
And in its own leisurely
old-fashioned sort of way,
383
00:23:30,980 --> 00:23:33,340
the Ignis really is a joy to drive.
384
00:23:34,260 --> 00:23:36,339
Look at that weight transfer,
385
00:23:36,340 --> 00:23:39,499
just like you'd get
in an old-school rally car.
386
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,419
Five-speed manual,
387
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:44,899
same as you'd find in
an old Lambo Diablo, by the way.
388
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:48,059
Nice to see that technology
trickling down.
389
00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:51,620
It's just a willing, happy,
engaging little car.
390
00:23:53,180 --> 00:23:54,300
Look, there's a sheep...
391
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:56,380
..overtaking me.
392
00:23:59,020 --> 00:24:03,940
And when the open road runs out,
the Ignis just keeps going.
393
00:24:05,460 --> 00:24:08,699
It's light, it's tough,
it's got good ground clearance,
394
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:11,340
and most importantly,
it's got four-wheel-drive.
395
00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:18,779
Look at that. Honestly, this thing,
it just skips over the bumps.
396
00:24:18,780 --> 00:24:20,099
It's smooth.
397
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,219
So smooth!
398
00:24:23,220 --> 00:24:27,579
And of course, if you spend 60 grand
on an off-roader, you don't actually
399
00:24:27,580 --> 00:24:30,899
want to take it off-road
in case you scuff it.
400
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:33,539
If you spend 15 grand
on an off-roader,
401
00:24:33,540 --> 00:24:35,419
you don't mind getting
it dirty. You know?
402
00:24:35,420 --> 00:24:38,179
Even a bit dented.
That's what it was made for.
403
00:24:38,180 --> 00:24:42,179
But the biggest advantage
to only spending 15 grand
404
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:45,259
on your perfect £100,000 garage?
405
00:24:45,260 --> 00:24:48,499
It leaves you with
loads and loads of money
406
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:50,499
to spend on whatever you want.
407
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:51,540
Check it out.
408
00:24:52,740 --> 00:24:56,059
So, I've bought this watch.
Yeah.
409
00:24:56,060 --> 00:24:57,739
I mean, I've already got a watch.
410
00:24:57,740 --> 00:25:00,540
But I figured,
why not have one on each wrist?
411
00:25:02,980 --> 00:25:04,579
Brow.
412
00:25:04,580 --> 00:25:06,099
Thank you.
413
00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:08,420
I also bought a towel man.
414
00:25:09,540 --> 00:25:11,220
I didn't even know that was a thing.
415
00:25:12,580 --> 00:25:14,339
He's very good.
416
00:25:14,340 --> 00:25:16,379
Discreet.
417
00:25:16,380 --> 00:25:17,980
Bit bumpy. Sorry, Dimitri.
418
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:24,299
You know, maybe it's Dimitri's
steaming mint-scented towelette
419
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:30,419
talking, but honestly, this really
is all the car you'll ever need.
420
00:25:30,420 --> 00:25:34,579
Your Range Rovers and your Cayennes
get bigger and bigger year on year.
421
00:25:34,580 --> 00:25:36,539
You know what doesn't get bigger?
422
00:25:36,540 --> 00:25:38,979
British countryside.
423
00:25:38,980 --> 00:25:41,459
It's staying the same size.
424
00:25:41,460 --> 00:25:43,299
It has done for years.
425
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:45,899
The Ignis just fits Britain.
426
00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:48,820
There is nowhere
this car cannot go.
427
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:53,859
And so I give you, the Suzuki Ignis.
428
00:25:53,860 --> 00:25:57,699
My answer to
the perfect 100 grand garage,
429
00:25:57,700 --> 00:26:01,739
complete with a lot of change
to spare.
430
00:26:01,740 --> 00:26:04,379
Will you start the fans, please?
431
00:26:04,380 --> 00:26:07,500
I have always wanted to do this.
432
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:16,140
Thanks.
433
00:26:18,340 --> 00:26:19,899
It's from the producers.
434
00:26:19,900 --> 00:26:24,219
It says, "You think your tiny city
car can handle anything?
435
00:26:24,220 --> 00:26:28,819
"Time to prove it. You will drive
to the top of Gurlet Hill."
436
00:26:28,820 --> 00:26:30,379
Which one's that?
437
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:31,420
That one up there.
438
00:26:33,020 --> 00:26:35,659
- What, that? - The big one.
439
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:37,659
No, no, that's a mountain, mate.
440
00:26:37,660 --> 00:26:40,339
Apparently, not quite.
441
00:26:40,340 --> 00:26:43,379
At 1,998 feet,
442
00:26:43,380 --> 00:26:48,339
Gurlet Hill falls just two feet
short of mountain status.
443
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:52,859
And if I could transport two feet's
worth of rocks to the top of it
444
00:26:52,860 --> 00:26:55,739
I would have the honour of
christening Britain's
445
00:26:55,740 --> 00:26:57,299
newest mountain.
446
00:26:57,300 --> 00:26:58,859
Yes!
447
00:26:58,860 --> 00:27:00,099
I like it!
448
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:04,939
If ever there was a test
for my mini off-roader, this was it.
449
00:27:04,940 --> 00:27:09,939
So I equipped the Ignis with
a smattering of off-road gear
450
00:27:09,940 --> 00:27:13,859
and steeled myself
for the solo ascent.
451
00:27:13,860 --> 00:27:18,020
All right, Ignis, me and you
versus the wilderness.
452
00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:22,979
Hi, buddy!
453
00:27:22,980 --> 00:27:25,419
Sabine, what are you doing?
454
00:27:25,420 --> 00:27:27,820
Beating you to the top
of the hill.
455
00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:31,339
Yes, to make things interesting,
456
00:27:31,340 --> 00:27:34,619
the producers had invited along
some competition.
457
00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:38,939
A ruthless German driving the
reigning champion of the baby SUV
458
00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:41,499
world, the Fiat Panda cross.
459
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:43,420
OK, bring it!
460
00:27:45,420 --> 00:27:49,740
Jeez, Dimitri, sorry, mate.
Get out, yeah? Towel time's over.
461
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:52,740
Thanks, buddy. Thanks.
462
00:27:56,980 --> 00:27:58,299
OK, here we go.
463
00:27:58,300 --> 00:27:59,379
Three...
464
00:27:59,380 --> 00:28:00,459
..two...
465
00:28:00,460 --> 00:28:01,499
..one..
466
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:02,539
..go!
467
00:28:02,540 --> 00:28:03,979
Woo!
468
00:28:03,980 --> 00:28:05,140
Come on, Ignis!
469
00:28:06,820 --> 00:28:08,779
Reid is in the lead!
470
00:28:08,780 --> 00:28:09,859
River!
471
00:28:09,860 --> 00:28:10,939
Aaah!
472
00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:13,619
Mount Ignis or Mount Panda?
473
00:28:13,620 --> 00:28:15,219
Woohoo!
474
00:28:15,220 --> 00:28:16,859
To the mountain!
475
00:28:16,860 --> 00:28:21,499
To claim the name we'd have to
climb over 1,000 vertical feet
476
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:26,059
up the slopes of Gurlet Hill's
muddy, rocky, moorland terrain,
477
00:28:26,060 --> 00:28:29,299
and that meant the key was to find
a route our cars
478
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:31,299
could actually handle.
479
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:33,019
I need a turning, I need a turning.
480
00:28:33,020 --> 00:28:35,339
OK, bye, Rory!
481
00:28:35,340 --> 00:28:36,379
She's gone.
482
00:28:36,380 --> 00:28:38,700
Go, little Panda!
483
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:42,459
I'm taking this one. Here we go.
484
00:28:42,460 --> 00:28:44,339
Here we go.
485
00:28:44,340 --> 00:28:45,859
I hope this is the way.
486
00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:48,539
Already attacking
the lower slopes...
487
00:28:48,540 --> 00:28:50,059
Second gear!
488
00:28:50,060 --> 00:28:53,739
..Sabine had found herself
a rough but open climb.
489
00:28:53,740 --> 00:28:54,900
Woohoo!
490
00:28:56,300 --> 00:29:00,979
I, on the other hand, was borderline
trespassing through someone's farm.
491
00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:04,619
Which way? Which way? Through here.
492
00:29:04,620 --> 00:29:06,779
Here we go!
493
00:29:06,780 --> 00:29:08,819
A gate? A gate?
494
00:29:08,820 --> 00:29:12,539
But to turn this hill into
a mountain, we each needed the rocks
495
00:29:12,540 --> 00:29:18,659
to do it and the farmer
had kindly left me a ready supply.
496
00:29:18,660 --> 00:29:21,139
Making a mountain!
497
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:22,619
Sabine, meanwhile...
498
00:29:22,620 --> 00:29:23,660
I need rocks!
499
00:29:25,780 --> 00:29:27,139
..had her own approach.
500
00:29:27,140 --> 00:29:28,860
Sorry, Panda!
501
00:29:29,900 --> 00:29:31,219
One...
502
00:29:31,220 --> 00:29:35,739
That's for my Mount Panda!
503
00:29:35,740 --> 00:29:37,380
Yeah!
504
00:29:38,980 --> 00:29:42,739
Rocks aboard, it was time to leave
the lower slopes behind
505
00:29:42,740 --> 00:29:46,899
and make a break for the wide open
moorland that led to the summit.
506
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,260
My God, that thing's massive!
507
00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:54,379
Wide open moorland, which, it turned
out, could only be reached
508
00:29:54,380 --> 00:29:55,939
through one narrow gate.
509
00:29:55,940 --> 00:29:57,299
There's Sabine!
510
00:29:57,300 --> 00:29:58,339
No!
511
00:29:58,340 --> 00:30:01,459
Aaahh! She's got in front of me!
512
00:30:01,460 --> 00:30:02,740
Come on, Ignis!
513
00:30:04,820 --> 00:30:06,699
Now well on our way to the
top of the hill,
514
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:10,619
our intrepid little off-roaders
would have to tackle terrain that
515
00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:13,180
would test even the biggest
and toughest 4x4s.
516
00:30:15,420 --> 00:30:18,059
And the Panda was in trouble.
517
00:30:18,060 --> 00:30:20,659
She's stuck! Come on, baby!
518
00:30:20,660 --> 00:30:23,859
No, no, no, no! Don't get stuck.
Don't get stuck. Do not get stuck.
519
00:30:23,860 --> 00:30:25,659
Do not get stuck. Come on, come on!
520
00:30:25,660 --> 00:30:27,139
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
521
00:30:27,140 --> 00:30:28,540
That's not fair!
522
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:32,940
- Come on! - Yeah! We're moving!
523
00:30:34,740 --> 00:30:37,059
And she's not!
524
00:30:37,060 --> 00:30:39,100
I'm too heavy!
525
00:30:40,860 --> 00:30:43,219
I have found me a trail.
526
00:30:43,220 --> 00:30:45,819
Leaving Sabine bogged down,
the Ignis
527
00:30:45,820 --> 00:30:47,580
and I could make a break for it.
528
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:51,939
No! Panda.
529
00:30:51,940 --> 00:30:55,020
And forced to ditch weight to get
herself moving...
530
00:30:57,420 --> 00:30:59,299
This trail is a disaster.
531
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:02,459
..while Team Panda had some serious
catching up to do...
532
00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:04,939
Come on, Panda! Yee-ha!
533
00:31:04,940 --> 00:31:06,180
Go, go, go, go!
534
00:31:07,340 --> 00:31:12,059
..Team Ignis were making
effortless progress... ish.
535
00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:15,340
Yeah, I know that looks bad,
but it's...
536
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:17,740
Hang on!
537
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:21,700
Yes, the climb was punishing
both our cars.
538
00:31:25,660 --> 00:31:27,099
No!
539
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:28,579
But despite punctures...
540
00:31:28,580 --> 00:31:30,019
I don't need you any more.
541
00:31:30,020 --> 00:31:31,379
..and a few knocks...
542
00:31:31,380 --> 00:31:32,860
Argh!
543
00:31:33,860 --> 00:31:38,259
..OK, a lot of knocks -
they kept pushing forward,
544
00:31:38,260 --> 00:31:41,460
and best of all,
the Ignis was still in front.
545
00:31:46,940 --> 00:31:49,379
Gurlet Hill wasn't done yet.
546
00:31:49,380 --> 00:31:52,699
With 440 feet left to climb,
547
00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:56,859
I reached a towering ravine
and the steepest part of the ascent.
548
00:31:56,860 --> 00:31:59,139
Holy...
I might need help with this.
549
00:31:59,140 --> 00:32:02,219
Luckily, I had just
the tools for the job.
550
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:03,540
Land anchor!
551
00:32:04,700 --> 00:32:10,219
Yes! The automotive equivalent
of an ice pick and a climbing rope.
552
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:12,580
I saw this on YouTube once.
Can't be that hard.
553
00:32:13,860 --> 00:32:16,499
There's a lot you can learn
off the internet.
554
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:20,299
We are moving! We are moving.
555
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:23,139
All right. Next leg. Yeah.
556
00:32:23,140 --> 00:32:26,100
The winner was going to have to
haul themselves to the top.
557
00:32:27,820 --> 00:32:31,099
And already,
three winch lengths in... Sabine!
558
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:33,899
..I had a massive lead.
559
00:32:33,900 --> 00:32:35,499
For a minute.
560
00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:38,219
Yeah! Get out of my way! Yeah!
561
00:32:38,220 --> 00:32:41,619
- No, no! - Yeah!
562
00:32:41,620 --> 00:32:43,939
No!
563
00:32:43,940 --> 00:32:45,339
How did you get up here?
564
00:32:45,340 --> 00:32:46,699
I'm in the lead!
565
00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:50,379
- But thankfully, the Panda could
drive no further. -!
566
00:32:50,380 --> 00:32:52,660
It was Sabine's turn to start
winching.
567
00:32:54,580 --> 00:32:58,219
And with the summit now just 37
land anchors away...
568
00:32:58,220 --> 00:33:00,739
Get off my car, get off my car!
569
00:33:00,740 --> 00:33:04,619
..so began the slowest drag
race in history.
570
00:33:04,620 --> 00:33:08,379
Welcome to Top Gear,
where a small Fiat
571
00:33:08,380 --> 00:33:12,580
and a small Suzuki are driving very
slowly up a hill.
572
00:33:16,060 --> 00:33:18,420
We inched our cars higher
and higher.
573
00:33:20,620 --> 00:33:25,899
Until eventually - like, really,
really eventually...
574
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:28,939
She's gaining, she's gaining.
575
00:33:28,940 --> 00:33:31,259
..we made it to the top of the
ravine.
576
00:33:31,260 --> 00:33:32,339
Come on, come on.
577
00:33:32,340 --> 00:33:35,259
And with just the last short
dash to the summit left...
578
00:33:35,260 --> 00:33:37,379
I'm coming, Rory.
579
00:33:37,380 --> 00:33:40,740
..it was go time.
We're motoring now, baby.
580
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:45,139
There's the summit. I can see it.
581
00:33:45,140 --> 00:33:46,979
That's what I'm talking about.
582
00:33:46,980 --> 00:33:48,379
Come on, Ignis.
583
00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:51,819
OK, little Panda. Full power.
584
00:33:51,820 --> 00:33:55,339
Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
Come on. Come on!
585
00:33:55,340 --> 00:33:57,899
Argh!
586
00:33:57,900 --> 00:34:01,780
- Not now. - Rory, I catch you!
587
00:34:03,460 --> 00:34:04,579
Stuck!
588
00:34:04,580 --> 00:34:07,779
Woo, hoo, ooh! Yeah!
589
00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:10,139
- No, no! - Bye-bye!
590
00:34:10,140 --> 00:34:11,659
Argh!
591
00:34:11,660 --> 00:34:13,339
- Yeah! - No!
592
00:34:13,340 --> 00:34:15,580
See you later, alligator!
593
00:34:16,660 --> 00:34:19,100
I'm not letting her win.
I am not letting her win.
594
00:34:21,180 --> 00:34:23,060
Maybe if I go backwards?
595
00:34:25,380 --> 00:34:27,740
Yes, yes! It's working.
596
00:34:29,420 --> 00:34:31,100
Come on! Up the hill.
597
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:35,900
Yes! I found a route!
598
00:34:38,180 --> 00:34:39,740
Ooh!
599
00:34:45,260 --> 00:34:47,180
I need another plan!
600
00:34:48,620 --> 00:34:50,219
No, no, no. I need a miracle.
601
00:34:50,220 --> 00:34:52,619
Ha-ha! Woohoo!
602
00:34:52,620 --> 00:34:54,140
I'm nearly there!
603
00:34:55,140 --> 00:34:58,940
Yes, Sabine and the Panda had
reached the summit.
604
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:02,019
Woohoo!
605
00:35:02,020 --> 00:35:03,460
Little Panda.
606
00:35:05,380 --> 00:35:08,540
Yes!!
607
00:35:12,660 --> 00:35:17,659
But as she staked her claim
for Britain's newest mountain...
608
00:35:17,660 --> 00:35:19,459
Ta-dah!
609
00:35:19,460 --> 00:35:22,539
Mount Panda!
610
00:35:22,540 --> 00:35:25,899
..there was one last ray of hope
for the Ignis.
611
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:27,419
That's not two feet.
612
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:31,899
I'm on top of my own mountain!
Mount Panda.
613
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:33,539
Hang on a minute.
614
00:35:33,540 --> 00:35:35,099
What's wrong?
615
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:38,139
You do realise we are
supposed to build
616
00:35:38,140 --> 00:35:39,939
an extra two feet
on top of this hill
617
00:35:39,940 --> 00:35:41,619
in order for it to be a mountain?
618
00:35:41,620 --> 00:35:44,859
Man. Come on. You don't want to
lose. You're a bad loser.
619
00:35:44,860 --> 00:35:46,779
- No, no, no, no. We've got...
- You are a bad loser.
620
00:35:46,780 --> 00:35:49,499
No, we have to do this properly,
otherwise, it's not a mountain.
621
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:52,740
Yeah, no problem. Look.
622
00:35:58,420 --> 00:36:00,659
- It's 19.5 inches. - Aw!
623
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:02,499
- It's not enough. - OK.
624
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:03,979
It's not a mountain.
625
00:36:03,980 --> 00:36:06,579
Sabine was 4.5 inches short.
626
00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:08,139
Come, give me your rocks.
627
00:36:08,140 --> 00:36:10,659
I'm not sure you understand how this
works. We're not a team.
628
00:36:10,660 --> 00:36:13,579
- We are competing against each other.
- No, no.
629
00:36:13,580 --> 00:36:17,059
But with negotiation skills that
would put Brexit to shame...
630
00:36:17,060 --> 00:36:21,219
- Mount Igna. - Igna? No, no, no.
Panda must be the first letter.
631
00:36:21,220 --> 00:36:23,299
It's not my fault you didn't
collect your rocks.
632
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:27,059
We agreed to raid the Ignis
for a little extra altitude...
633
00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:29,979
- I can't believe I'm actually
helping you win. - Yes.
634
00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:32,659
..and settled on a result.
635
00:36:32,660 --> 00:36:35,459
- 38 inches. - Yes. - That's a mountain.
- Yes!
636
00:36:35,460 --> 00:36:38,459
Britain's newest
mountain would be named...
637
00:36:38,460 --> 00:36:41,900
- That is Mount Pagnis.
- Pagnis! - Come on!
638
00:36:43,620 --> 00:36:46,260
- Woohoo! - Mount Pagnis!
639
00:36:49,180 --> 00:36:50,979
That was exhausting.
640
00:36:50,980 --> 00:36:52,299
Can I have a lift down?
641
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:54,780
- Sure. - All right. - Your car's BLEEP.
642
00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:09,339
Sabine may have won, but credit
where credit's due -
643
00:37:09,340 --> 00:37:10,939
that was genuinely impressive.
644
00:37:10,940 --> 00:37:15,579
Yeah, you know. Build a mountain
with my bare hands. No big deal.
645
00:37:15,580 --> 00:37:17,579
In my house, we call that Tuesday.
646
00:37:17,580 --> 00:37:20,899
Yeah, except you didn't actually
build a mountain, did you?
647
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:23,740
Well, er, kind of ish...
648
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:28,379
What did the people from the
Ordnance Survey say? Come on.
649
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:29,859
They said stop phoning us.
650
00:37:29,860 --> 00:37:32,259
And...?
651
00:37:32,260 --> 00:37:34,819
Well, they said that dumping
a bunch of rocks in a spare
652
00:37:34,820 --> 00:37:37,419
wheel on top of a hill doesn't
officially make something
653
00:37:37,420 --> 00:37:38,819
a mountain. Like they'd know!
654
00:37:38,820 --> 00:37:40,499
What was the exact phrase they used?
655
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:43,139
Fly-tipping.
656
00:37:43,140 --> 00:37:44,339
Matt?
657
00:37:44,340 --> 00:37:48,339
OK, now it's time to put
a Star In A Reasonably Fast Car.
658
00:37:48,340 --> 00:37:52,179
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
star of X-Men, 30 Rock
659
00:37:52,180 --> 00:37:54,260
and Westworld, James Marsden.
660
00:37:55,700 --> 00:37:57,140
Yeah!
661
00:37:58,700 --> 00:38:00,660
How are you, sir? OK, OK.
662
00:38:07,220 --> 00:38:09,899
Welcome to the show. Thanks
for coming all the way from LA.
663
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:12,579
This is cool, man. This is a show
I've watched for ages
664
00:38:12,580 --> 00:38:15,099
and now I'm sitting here with you
guys, it's pretty damn cool.
665
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:16,899
Because you've always been a car
guy, right?
666
00:38:16,900 --> 00:38:21,539
I mean, I... Yeah. I guess every guy
is, like, "I love cars," but to me,
667
00:38:21,540 --> 00:38:25,459
I grew up in Oklahoma in a pretty
rural part of Oklahoma City,
668
00:38:25,460 --> 00:38:29,659
and was driving when I probably
shouldn't be driving. 14.
669
00:38:29,660 --> 00:38:31,019
We sort of have it backwards there.
670
00:38:31,020 --> 00:38:34,139
We can drive at 16 but you have to
wait to 21 to drink.
671
00:38:34,140 --> 00:38:35,579
I think it sort of should be
reversed,
672
00:38:35,580 --> 00:38:38,059
but I was driving back
rural roads on,
673
00:38:38,060 --> 00:38:41,579
you know, gravel roads in my mom's
'78 Oldsmobile Cutlass,
674
00:38:41,580 --> 00:38:45,459
figuring out what counter steer
is. "This is fun!"
675
00:38:45,460 --> 00:38:49,339
- Yeah, some of my best times were in
a car. - Doing crazy stuff?
676
00:38:49,340 --> 00:38:52,659
Yeah, some incriminating things,
actually, I think.
677
00:38:52,660 --> 00:38:55,139
Hopefully the statute of limitations
is past, but I was...
678
00:38:55,140 --> 00:38:58,179
- Yeah, we're a small island off
Europe. It doesn't matter here.
- Yeah, bring it!
679
00:38:58,180 --> 00:39:00,979
Great. Well, I won't go back to the
States! I'll stay here.
680
00:39:00,980 --> 00:39:02,819
No, my buddies and I,
once I got, you know,
681
00:39:02,820 --> 00:39:04,779
you get your licence
and then you're off.
682
00:39:04,780 --> 00:39:06,859
Like, if you're lucky
enough to have a car,
683
00:39:06,860 --> 00:39:09,219
but we, um, we were
so bored during the summers,
684
00:39:09,220 --> 00:39:12,219
we would look through the classified
ads for cars for sale,
685
00:39:12,220 --> 00:39:14,979
and we would target cars that were
just two seaters,
686
00:39:14,980 --> 00:39:18,699
in the hope that the owner would be,
like, "You boys go take it for a
test drive."
687
00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:22,019
And we would take these cars
and learn how to drive them -
688
00:39:22,020 --> 00:39:24,899
a manual gearbox, and, you know,
find puddles and right-hand turns
689
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:27,499
and let the tail-end go out
and, you know, bring the car back.
690
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:28,859
And they'd trust you to do that?
691
00:39:28,860 --> 00:39:30,739
80% of the time, yeah.
And we'd bring it back.
692
00:39:30,740 --> 00:39:35,339
We'd sort of dress up nice and be,
like, "I don't know.
693
00:39:35,340 --> 00:39:36,739
"We have to take it for a spin."
694
00:39:36,740 --> 00:39:38,579
You know, some 16-year-old!
But, um...
695
00:39:38,580 --> 00:39:40,179
They couldn't have been great cars!
696
00:39:40,180 --> 00:39:43,099
- Well, it was like RX-7s,
and, you know, and... - Really?
697
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:45,219
Any car that slides is a great car.
You know that?
698
00:39:45,220 --> 00:39:50,059
- This is true, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah. I think we took out
a 928 once. Er, yeah. Yeah!
699
00:39:50,060 --> 00:39:54,579
- We wouldn't thrash them, obviously,
but we would... We would thrash
them. - Yeah, exactly!
700
00:39:54,580 --> 00:39:57,179
That's not the craziest thing you
and your buddies did, is it?
701
00:39:57,180 --> 00:40:00,299
Like I said, there wasn't a lot
going on in Oklahoma during the
702
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:02,179
summers, so we would get bored,
703
00:40:02,180 --> 00:40:04,379
and we had this game
we played where, if you, like,
704
00:40:04,380 --> 00:40:07,219
the Vulcan neck pinch, where if you
pinch one of your buddies' neck, no
705
00:40:07,220 --> 00:40:09,859
matter what they were doing, they'd
have to stop what they were doing.
706
00:40:09,860 --> 00:40:13,259
So at speed sometimes,
high speeds occasionally, we would
707
00:40:13,260 --> 00:40:15,219
think it would be funny to come
up behind the driver
708
00:40:15,220 --> 00:40:17,779
and pinch his neck, and
if that happened, you had to stop,
709
00:40:17,780 --> 00:40:19,900
like, even going 100mph,
you'd just drop.
710
00:40:21,740 --> 00:40:25,379
And then the friend in the passenger
seat, "Take the wheel,
take the wheel!"
711
00:40:25,380 --> 00:40:28,139
By the way, I don't... I don't
condone this behaviour
712
00:40:28,140 --> 00:40:31,419
or encourage this kind of behaviour
at home, or anywhere else.
713
00:40:31,420 --> 00:40:33,139
I do. That sounds like fun!
714
00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:36,139
All right, let's take a look
at your training lap with Chris.
715
00:40:36,140 --> 00:40:37,819
How did that go out there?
What do you think?
716
00:40:37,820 --> 00:40:40,019
It was... I don't know. You tell me.
I don't remember it.
717
00:40:40,020 --> 00:40:43,659
I'm not good at doing two or three,
what, three things at once.
718
00:40:43,660 --> 00:40:47,099
You were a heady combination
of nerves, ambition, terror
719
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:49,499
and sitting on the wrong
side of the car.
720
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:52,739
That was... I don't want to...
I don't want to look for any
excuses, but that did...
721
00:40:52,740 --> 00:40:54,579
- It's a tough gig. - That stymied me.
722
00:40:54,580 --> 00:40:57,259
But I could tell from the start
that there was talent there.
723
00:40:57,260 --> 00:40:59,019
So let's see it.
Come on, let's see it.
724
00:40:59,020 --> 00:41:02,260
- All right, let's take a look. - All
right. Don't build me up too much,
Buttercup!
725
00:41:03,820 --> 00:41:06,299
James,
welcome to the Top Gear test drive.
726
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:08,139
Thank you very much.
Thanks for having me.
727
00:41:08,140 --> 00:41:09,859
- I know that you're...
- I'm not nervous.
728
00:41:09,860 --> 00:41:11,659
I know you've wanted to come
here for a while.
729
00:41:11,660 --> 00:41:13,179
I have been, yes. I've been...
730
00:41:13,180 --> 00:41:16,059
The last 10 years of my life,
I've been watching this show
731
00:41:16,060 --> 00:41:19,379
and seeing you guys kicking butt
the last couple of years.
732
00:41:19,380 --> 00:41:21,339
I've always thought - you know,
you always think,
733
00:41:21,340 --> 00:41:24,379
"I'm a competitive person,"
so you look at the leaderboard,
734
00:41:24,380 --> 00:41:26,659
and you want to be atop it.
735
00:41:26,660 --> 00:41:29,779
I'm hoping I can get up there,
but I'm also realistic about my...
736
00:41:29,780 --> 00:41:31,779
Before we've even started,
you're telling me
737
00:41:31,780 --> 00:41:33,419
you want to be at the top
of the leaderboard!
738
00:41:33,420 --> 00:41:36,499
- Did I say that?
- Yeah. But that's the challenge, OK.
- That may just be jet lag.
739
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,539
- That might alter my behaviour. Let's
get going. I'm going to push you.
- All right.
740
00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:42,979
- Go. Give it some beans.
Give it some beans! - All right! - Go!
741
00:41:42,980 --> 00:41:44,579
Push me. But I need you to push me.
742
00:41:44,580 --> 00:41:47,539
Third gear. Don't... Don't shift
till that red light comes on.
743
00:41:47,540 --> 00:41:48,819
- All right. - Wait for the red.
744
00:41:48,820 --> 00:41:51,779
Wait for the red light. There you
go. Let her sing.
745
00:41:51,780 --> 00:41:54,339
Do you do any of your own stunt
driving or not?
746
00:41:54,340 --> 00:41:56,619
- Er, clearly not!
- Yeah, you'd be good enough.
747
00:41:56,620 --> 00:41:59,259
- There's the grass!
- He's using all the track!
748
00:41:59,260 --> 00:42:02,139
- And what are you going to do before
the tyres? - Brake in second.
749
00:42:02,140 --> 00:42:04,780
- You are. - Did I get it?
- No, that's fourth.
750
00:42:06,780 --> 00:42:08,819
That's second. Yes!
751
00:42:08,820 --> 00:42:10,219
Round to the right-hand side.
752
00:42:10,220 --> 00:42:13,339
Whoo! Come on, let's let them
loose a little bit.
753
00:42:13,340 --> 00:42:17,419
Did you see those snakelike
reactions on the oversteer? Amazing!
754
00:42:17,420 --> 00:42:19,979
- Good, good. - Second? Third?
- Third. - BLEEP.
755
00:42:19,980 --> 00:42:22,099
Round to the left, round to the
left. Leave it in third.
756
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:24,259
Leave it in third.
That's good. You can carry third.
757
00:42:24,260 --> 00:42:26,979
Get the clutch out, get the clutch
out. Don't dip the clutch there.
758
00:42:26,980 --> 00:42:28,939
Hammerhead,
the notorious Hammerhead.
759
00:42:28,940 --> 00:42:30,099
The notorious Hammerhead.
760
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:32,299
Does it look as glamorous as you
thought it would?
761
00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:34,819
Er, it...! I didn't see it go by.
762
00:42:34,820 --> 00:42:37,379
This is good. Flat down, flat down,
flat down. I can see that foot.
763
00:42:37,380 --> 00:42:39,579
Get that foot in that footwell.
764
00:42:39,580 --> 00:42:42,739
Fourth gear. That's good. Woohoo!
765
00:42:42,740 --> 00:42:45,139
Jesus,
this feels like it's going to roll.
766
00:42:45,140 --> 00:42:48,139
OK. What's the fastest you've
been in a motor car until now?
767
00:42:48,140 --> 00:42:51,179
Um, what? 140mph.
768
00:42:51,180 --> 00:42:54,459
- On the track or on the road?
- In a 1979 Camaro.
769
00:42:54,460 --> 00:42:57,419
- Brake, brake, brake! - Third, break.
- That's good, that's good.
That's good.
770
00:42:57,420 --> 00:42:59,500
What's your favourite
car in a film ever?
771
00:43:00,860 --> 00:43:03,739
Er, favourite car in a film. We're
going off the track here.
772
00:43:03,740 --> 00:43:07,139
- Talk and drive, talk and drive. -
I can't...! The Judge, The Judge!
773
00:43:07,140 --> 00:43:10,499
The Judge! The Judge! Over the line.
That's good. OK, let's stop there.
774
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:12,379
Let's stop there.
775
00:43:12,380 --> 00:43:15,419
- Talking of driving... - It really is,
like, can you do four things at
once?
776
00:43:15,420 --> 00:43:17,939
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's that, it's that one, isn't it?
777
00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:20,100
It is, man.
778
00:43:21,780 --> 00:43:25,099
Good. I don't remember any of that.
779
00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:28,019
- I was so... I was so calm.
- He's very distracting.
780
00:43:28,020 --> 00:43:30,779
Yeah, you asked me
what my favourite car in a film was.
781
00:43:30,780 --> 00:43:34,179
I was, like, "What's a car?"
I don't know what a car is!
782
00:43:34,180 --> 00:43:36,259
- Well, I'm...
- I was just trying not to die!
783
00:43:36,260 --> 00:43:39,579
My job is to coach you and distract
you. It's quite a strange role.
784
00:43:39,580 --> 00:43:42,259
Well, you achieved that.
785
00:43:42,260 --> 00:43:46,499
OK, let's get back to cars. At the
start, what was your first car?
786
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:51,580
Er, my very first car was
a 1986 Pontiac Firebird.
787
00:43:52,580 --> 00:43:56,219
Um, it was a V8 350hp V-8
that was...
788
00:43:56,220 --> 00:43:59,379
all power to the rear wheels
and, you know,
789
00:43:59,380 --> 00:44:04,219
it was easy to let things slide
into kerbs, which I did frequently.
790
00:44:04,220 --> 00:44:05,339
I was 16 when I had it,
791
00:44:05,340 --> 00:44:08,059
so I thought it would be cool to
call it the Lovebird.
792
00:44:08,060 --> 00:44:11,939
- Ooh! - Yeah, yeah. It wasn't that
cool. It turns out...
793
00:44:11,940 --> 00:44:16,459
It turns out that was one of the
reasons why I didn't have a
girlfriend! Um...
794
00:44:16,460 --> 00:44:19,139
And then after that,
how did you replace the Lovebird?
795
00:44:19,140 --> 00:44:21,899
I graduated in '91, dating myself,
796
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:27,419
- but I was given as a graduation gift
a '91 Honda Accord, like, burgundy.
- Ooh!
797
00:44:27,420 --> 00:44:29,419
- Yeah. - And did the love life improve,
or...?
798
00:44:29,420 --> 00:44:32,179
- I got sensible and boring. - Yeah.
799
00:44:32,180 --> 00:44:35,299
- Not as much spirit or soul as the...
- No.
800
00:44:35,300 --> 00:44:37,379
The Lovebird. But, er,...
801
00:44:37,380 --> 00:44:39,419
But then you had another Accord,
right, after that?
802
00:44:39,420 --> 00:44:43,259
- I did, yeah. It sounds like I loved
the Accord, but when I decided...
- Ooh!
803
00:44:43,260 --> 00:44:45,219
- That one's nice. I like that one.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
804
00:44:45,220 --> 00:44:48,859
I always love it when you take
a sensible, dependable car,
805
00:44:48,860 --> 00:44:52,219
and sport it up with louvres or
a spoiler like that.
806
00:44:52,220 --> 00:44:54,379
But louvres actually mean
something in your country,
807
00:44:54,380 --> 00:44:56,219
cos you have sun.
808
00:44:56,220 --> 00:44:58,619
We had louvres in the '80s,
but we didn't have the sun.
809
00:44:58,620 --> 00:45:00,699
- I don't understand why we had them.
- What, is that...?
810
00:45:00,700 --> 00:45:03,019
I still do this day don't know
what they're used for.
811
00:45:03,020 --> 00:45:05,339
- Is it just for blocking sun out?
- Downforce, mate.
812
00:45:05,340 --> 00:45:07,099
- Artificial downforce. - Downforce.
813
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:09,739
Yeah, yeah. And getting chicks!
814
00:45:09,740 --> 00:45:10,899
I mean, look at that baby.
815
00:45:10,900 --> 00:45:13,820
Probably be quite helpful for BLEEP
as well. If you look at it...
816
00:45:16,180 --> 00:45:19,179
But I drove to LA
when I decided to be an actor.
817
00:45:19,180 --> 00:45:22,779
I moved in '93 to LA and I drove
out in that car, listening to Don
818
00:45:22,780 --> 00:45:25,459
McLean's American Pie on a loop,
trying to remember the lyrics.
819
00:45:25,460 --> 00:45:27,299
You know, the Firebird was
fun for a while,
820
00:45:27,300 --> 00:45:29,659
but that was, like,
the sensible car.
821
00:45:29,660 --> 00:45:33,539
So you have actually owned a couple
of British classics, haven't you?
822
00:45:33,540 --> 00:45:36,339
I had a little patch where my son
was getting into cars.
823
00:45:36,340 --> 00:45:39,379
He was seven, eight, maybe nine,
something like that, so I was, like,
824
00:45:39,380 --> 00:45:43,259
let's get an old classic and sort
of share working on it with him.
825
00:45:43,260 --> 00:45:46,779
There was a little car show nearby
where we lived at Bob's Big Boy -
like, a diner.
826
00:45:46,780 --> 00:45:49,339
- I've been there, I've been there.
- You've been there, yeah.
827
00:45:49,340 --> 00:45:51,499
- You two go to a place
called Bob's Big Boys? - Yeah.
828
00:45:51,500 --> 00:45:55,179
- No, no. No. Bob's Big Boy.
- Big Boy. - It's a burger joint.
829
00:45:55,180 --> 00:45:58,299
- Being singular doesn't make it
any better, Matt!
830
00:45:58,300 --> 00:46:01,739
Bob's Big Boys has a whole other
meaning, doesn't it?
831
00:46:01,740 --> 00:46:04,619
Um, yeah, so I bought a 1960...
832
00:46:04,620 --> 00:46:08,699
I think it was a 1964 MG Midget,
in, like, British racing green
833
00:46:08,700 --> 00:46:11,620
and I like to buy cars
that make me look bigger.
834
00:46:13,020 --> 00:46:14,619
Obviously!
835
00:46:14,620 --> 00:46:15,939
And then, after that,
836
00:46:15,940 --> 00:46:20,579
- I had a '67 Austin Healey BJ8 3000
for a little while. -!
837
00:46:20,580 --> 00:46:22,579
Another British racing green,
a little darker,
838
00:46:22,580 --> 00:46:26,339
but I couldn't afford the
Jag E-type, so I went for the, er...
839
00:46:26,340 --> 00:46:28,739
- All right. - I went for the Healey.
840
00:46:28,740 --> 00:46:31,299
I think it's time we take
a look at your lap out there.
841
00:46:31,300 --> 00:46:34,979
- What do you think? - Do we have to?
- You've flown a long way to do this.
842
00:46:34,980 --> 00:46:39,299
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I've waited many
years to try this out.
843
00:46:39,300 --> 00:46:41,339
It always looks easier
when you're watching TV.
844
00:46:41,340 --> 00:46:42,979
Was it easier without him
screaming at you,
845
00:46:42,980 --> 00:46:45,540
- asking you dumb questions
all the time? - No offence, but, yes.
846
00:46:46,820 --> 00:46:49,259
- Let's take a look. Come on. - Hey.
847
00:46:49,260 --> 00:46:51,179
Off the line.
848
00:46:51,180 --> 00:46:52,939
That's a good start, James.
849
00:46:52,940 --> 00:46:55,100
♪ Just some good ol' boys
850
00:46:59,020 --> 00:47:01,139
Urgh, late brake here!
851
00:47:01,140 --> 00:47:02,779
OK, enough of the Dukes of Hazzard.
852
00:47:02,780 --> 00:47:05,259
What's the line like?
The line is good.
853
00:47:05,260 --> 00:47:07,660
Looks like them Duke boys
are up to no good!
854
00:47:10,900 --> 00:47:13,339
Now, this was the one you were
struggling with earlier.
855
00:47:13,340 --> 00:47:16,419
Braking, that's good.
Second gear now.
856
00:47:16,420 --> 00:47:18,339
What's the line like here?
That's pretty good.
857
00:47:18,340 --> 00:47:20,659
Running wide there to let
the car build speed.
858
00:47:20,660 --> 00:47:22,739
We're going to need a faster car!
859
00:47:22,740 --> 00:47:25,619
You didn't say that
when I was in there, did you? Third.
860
00:47:25,620 --> 00:47:27,619
Come on, you BLEEP!
861
00:47:27,620 --> 00:47:30,059
Fourth. Braking, this looks good.
862
00:47:30,060 --> 00:47:33,340
Lot of roll on the car,
roll is good, roll equals speed.
863
00:47:34,420 --> 00:47:37,539
You sort of V'd the corner off
a bit there.
864
00:47:37,540 --> 00:47:40,499
Now you're still getting wide
and carrying speed.
865
00:47:40,500 --> 00:47:41,699
Now, the Follow Through.
866
00:47:41,700 --> 00:47:43,779
Aagh! That's first!
867
00:47:43,780 --> 00:47:45,339
It's in there.
868
00:47:45,340 --> 00:47:47,179
Damn!
869
00:47:47,180 --> 00:47:49,779
Damn having to shift
with the left!
870
00:47:49,780 --> 00:47:52,939
Very good costume drama
English accent.
871
00:47:52,940 --> 00:47:55,339
Through the Follow Through,
that looked faster.
872
00:47:55,340 --> 00:47:59,859
Can't pick my nose with my left
hand, much less find third gear!
873
00:47:59,860 --> 00:48:03,379
Brake lights...
Not even a hint of brake lights.
874
00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:05,219
Don't know what that noise was.
875
00:48:05,220 --> 00:48:06,579
Let you off slow...
876
00:48:06,580 --> 00:48:08,659
Like the raptor in Jurassic Park!
877
00:48:08,660 --> 00:48:11,699
Second to last,
through, using all the track.
878
00:48:11,700 --> 00:48:14,259
No idea what gear I'm in,
cos I'm using my left hand...
879
00:48:14,260 --> 00:48:16,859
- Gambon, what's he going to be like?
- ..not my right!
880
00:48:16,860 --> 00:48:20,019
Big flourish over the line.
That was fast!
881
00:48:20,020 --> 00:48:22,300
That looked fast.
882
00:48:27,540 --> 00:48:31,299
Like the car... Like the car,
it looked reasonably fast.
883
00:48:31,300 --> 00:48:34,619
- I think that looked pretty quick.
- Where would you like to be?
884
00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:39,099
I would love to be sub 1.40,
but I'm not sure I broke that.
885
00:48:39,100 --> 00:48:41,579
- Sub 1.40? Yeah, might be too...
- He's aiming high!
886
00:48:41,580 --> 00:48:43,419
Maybe sub 1.44, how about that?
887
00:48:43,420 --> 00:48:45,579
Sub 1.44?!
888
00:48:45,580 --> 00:48:47,979
I don't know, is that good or bad?
889
00:48:47,980 --> 00:48:51,779
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sub 1.50.
890
00:48:51,780 --> 00:48:54,059
No, no, the other way,
the other way, up!
891
00:48:54,060 --> 00:48:55,539
The other way, up! All right.
892
00:48:55,540 --> 00:48:57,499
I mean, that's where
you want to be, right?
893
00:48:57,500 --> 00:48:59,459
You want to be right at the top,
I think.
894
00:48:59,460 --> 00:49:01,979
No, I feel like, you know,
I'm cosy right there in the middle.
895
00:49:01,980 --> 00:49:03,939
Can you just read out the time?!
896
00:49:03,940 --> 00:49:06,219
All right.
897
00:49:06,220 --> 00:49:08,499
James Marsden,
you went around our track
898
00:49:08,500 --> 00:49:09,900
in one minute...
899
00:49:11,860 --> 00:49:12,979
..30...
900
00:49:12,980 --> 00:49:15,459
- Ooh!
- Happy there.
901
00:49:15,460 --> 00:49:17,019
- ..9...
- Ooh!
902
00:49:17,020 --> 00:49:18,859
- ..flat.
- OK!
903
00:49:18,860 --> 00:49:21,379
- That's good. - I'll take that.
904
00:49:21,380 --> 00:49:24,059
- That is good.
- That is a great effort.
905
00:49:24,060 --> 00:49:25,419
Well done.
906
00:49:25,420 --> 00:49:29,939
Do I get a handicap for setting
off with the right hand driving?
907
00:49:29,940 --> 00:49:33,459
- That was good, that was really good.
- I'll take it. - Yeah. - I'll take it.
908
00:49:33,460 --> 00:49:36,099
Ladies and gentlemen, James Marsden!
909
00:49:36,100 --> 00:49:40,580
- Thank you. Good to see you.
- Good job! - Have a good one.
910
00:49:42,060 --> 00:49:43,420
I like that guy.
911
00:49:45,300 --> 00:49:47,819
OK, now it's time
to get back to Norway,
912
00:49:47,820 --> 00:49:50,139
where, as you'll remember,
Chris and I were testing
913
00:49:50,140 --> 00:49:53,859
a pair of practical, everyday
family station wagons...
914
00:49:53,860 --> 00:49:55,419
Estate cars.
915
00:49:55,420 --> 00:49:58,099
OK! ..from Porsche and Ferrari.
916
00:49:58,100 --> 00:50:02,019
And we were closing in on one
of Europe's greatest driving roads,
917
00:50:02,020 --> 00:50:03,700
the Trollstigen.
918
00:50:08,380 --> 00:50:10,540
A few hours later,
we got back on the road.
919
00:50:12,060 --> 00:50:16,219
And stats man Harris was still
rolling out the facts.
920
00:50:16,220 --> 00:50:19,820
Do you know why Bluetooth
is called Bluetooth?
921
00:50:21,140 --> 00:50:23,659
No, but I suspect
that I'm about to find out.
922
00:50:23,660 --> 00:50:27,659
It's named in honour
of King Harald Bluetooth.
923
00:50:27,660 --> 00:50:30,579
Now, Harald was
a 10th-century Viking king,
924
00:50:30,580 --> 00:50:33,019
famous first of all for having
blue teeth because he ate
925
00:50:33,020 --> 00:50:36,499
so many blueberries, but also
for uniting the nations of Norway
926
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:40,499
and Denmark - the way that
Bluetooth unites different
927
00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:44,059
wireless technologies into one
universal standard.
928
00:50:44,060 --> 00:50:45,819
No way.
929
00:50:45,820 --> 00:50:47,379
How good is that?!
930
00:50:47,380 --> 00:50:48,779
Awesome.
931
00:50:48,780 --> 00:50:50,059
In my defence,
932
00:50:50,060 --> 00:50:52,940
we did have a lot of ground to cover
to reach the Trollstigen.
933
00:50:54,180 --> 00:50:56,619
But if Matt didn't want to learn -
fine.
934
00:50:56,620 --> 00:51:01,540
On a long drive, there's plenty more
to keep you occupied in the Porsche.
935
00:51:03,220 --> 00:51:08,220
Massage seats.
I'm going to go shiatsu. Yeah!
936
00:51:17,060 --> 00:51:19,939
Wow, this sort of
touch panel thing here,
937
00:51:19,940 --> 00:51:22,340
this is really cool,
the touch panel thing.
938
00:51:25,500 --> 00:51:27,340
I like the steering wheel, though.
939
00:51:29,020 --> 00:51:30,940
I like these, these are nice.
940
00:51:36,140 --> 00:51:38,660
Yes, baby!
941
00:51:41,620 --> 00:51:44,099
Hey, Chris, you know
what I don't get about my car?
942
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:45,899
It used to be called the FF,
943
00:51:45,900 --> 00:51:49,899
but now Ferrari have renamed it
the GTC4Lusso.
944
00:51:49,900 --> 00:51:52,939
What was wrong with
good, simple Ferrari FF?
945
00:51:52,940 --> 00:51:55,699
- Well, what did it actually mean?
- Ferrari Four.
946
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:57,419
Four seats, four-wheel-drive.
947
00:51:57,420 --> 00:52:00,419
So it was the Ferrari Ferrari Four?
948
00:52:00,420 --> 00:52:02,579
No, no, the Ferrari Four.
949
00:52:02,580 --> 00:52:04,699
But that would just be
the Ferrari F.
950
00:52:04,700 --> 00:52:06,659
No, the second F is for four.
951
00:52:06,660 --> 00:52:08,660
The Ferrari F-Four?!
952
00:52:11,300 --> 00:52:14,659
But before we could conclude
this important debate,
953
00:52:14,660 --> 00:52:18,899
we had arrived at Norway's
greatest driving road.
954
00:52:18,900 --> 00:52:21,699
My God, look at that!
955
00:52:21,700 --> 00:52:23,660
Yeah. Wow!
956
00:52:26,300 --> 00:52:28,299
The Trollstigen.
957
00:52:28,300 --> 00:52:32,179
Climbing 850m
up a wall of solid rock,
958
00:52:32,180 --> 00:52:35,579
this narrow
switchback ribbon of tarmac
959
00:52:35,580 --> 00:52:40,059
is as challenging
as it is spectacular.
960
00:52:40,060 --> 00:52:42,139
Before we could attack it, though,
961
00:52:42,140 --> 00:52:44,260
we were greeted by an old friend.
962
00:52:53,620 --> 00:52:54,900
Boy.
963
00:52:58,140 --> 00:53:00,059
- Look who's back. - Yeah.
964
00:53:00,060 --> 00:53:02,379
Why isn't he wearing
one of those helmets with horns?
965
00:53:02,380 --> 00:53:03,739
No, Matt, actually,
966
00:53:03,740 --> 00:53:07,739
the idea that Vikings all wore
horned helmets is total nonsense.
967
00:53:07,740 --> 00:53:09,820
There's no evidence for it
whatsoever.
968
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:14,580
- Well, we should probably...
- Yeah. - Yeah.
969
00:53:15,660 --> 00:53:18,939
"Welcome to the Trollstigen."
Thank you.
970
00:53:18,940 --> 00:53:22,379
"You will now demonstrate
your estate's people-carrying
971
00:53:22,380 --> 00:53:26,019
"credentials by giving some
typical Norwegians a lift.
972
00:53:26,020 --> 00:53:28,979
"To win, load your passengers
on board
973
00:53:28,980 --> 00:53:31,859
"and reach the top of the valley
in the fastest time.
974
00:53:31,860 --> 00:53:34,620
- "A special prize awaits." -!
975
00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:42,019
Tre, to, en... Go!
976
00:53:42,020 --> 00:53:44,299
Come on! Get a move on!
977
00:53:44,300 --> 00:53:46,499
In a winner-takes-all
final challenge,
978
00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:49,059
we would have to get a car
full of BASE jumpers
979
00:53:49,060 --> 00:53:50,979
to the top of the Trollstigen.
980
00:53:50,980 --> 00:53:53,859
Go!
OK, come on, get in, get in, get in!
981
00:53:53,860 --> 00:53:56,060
Fastest time wins.
982
00:54:00,260 --> 00:54:01,620
Ready?
983
00:54:07,740 --> 00:54:11,180
What a motor?
You like that?
984
00:54:12,660 --> 00:54:14,900
Come on, Porsche! We can do it.
985
00:54:18,500 --> 00:54:20,460
So much power!
986
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:24,979
I'm sure you're all very,
very impressed by the power
987
00:54:24,980 --> 00:54:28,820
and the grip of
the Panamera Sport Turismo, yes?
988
00:54:36,980 --> 00:54:39,340
Did you see that?!
You guys are nuts!
989
00:54:40,340 --> 00:54:42,820
You just smash the throttle open
and it goes.
990
00:54:45,780 --> 00:54:48,020
Come on, LeBlanc,
put your foot down.
991
00:54:49,620 --> 00:54:50,980
Got to beat Joey!
992
00:54:53,300 --> 00:54:55,580
It's got power everywhere!
993
00:54:59,220 --> 00:55:01,100
Sprint to the end!
994
00:55:02,380 --> 00:55:04,020
And across the line...
995
00:55:05,660 --> 00:55:07,659
- Yes! - Yay!
996
00:55:07,660 --> 00:55:09,900
OK, there's the finish line, great.
997
00:55:20,180 --> 00:55:22,499
How great was that road?!
998
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:25,619
- Very, very great. - Thanks, guys.
999
00:55:25,620 --> 00:55:28,539
- Nice bunch of guys? - No, they're
not normal, or they? - No, no.
1000
00:55:28,540 --> 00:55:32,579
- They're not normal. I mean,
they're going flying in suits. - Yeah.
1001
00:55:32,580 --> 00:55:34,539
Most people use a plane.
1002
00:55:34,540 --> 00:55:36,619
It's our friend again.
1003
00:55:36,620 --> 00:55:38,540
How did you get up here so quick?
1004
00:55:41,340 --> 00:55:45,099
OK, these are the times.
1005
00:55:45,100 --> 00:55:48,579
"Matt LeBlanc, you did it in
three minutes and 13 seconds."
1006
00:55:48,580 --> 00:55:50,139
That's a good job.
1007
00:55:50,140 --> 00:55:51,780
"Chris Harris, you did it in...
1008
00:55:54,700 --> 00:55:56,499
.. "two minutes and 45 seconds."
1009
00:55:56,500 --> 00:55:57,899
Yes, yes!
1010
00:55:57,900 --> 00:56:02,099
"The winner may now collect their
prize from the boot of their car."
1011
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:05,259
- What is it, like, a Fortnum & Mason
hamper? Goodies? - I don't know.
1012
00:56:05,260 --> 00:56:06,740
A bit of booze?
1013
00:56:09,180 --> 00:56:10,819
No.
1014
00:56:10,820 --> 00:56:12,699
That's a wingsuit!
1015
00:56:12,700 --> 00:56:14,940
It'll be fun,
you're going to love it.
1016
00:56:17,460 --> 00:56:20,100
- There's two wingsuits there.
- Really? - Yeah.
1017
00:56:22,220 --> 00:56:24,819
All right. I'll jump if you jump.
1018
00:56:24,820 --> 00:56:26,779
- Really?! - Well, how hard can it be?
1019
00:56:26,780 --> 00:56:29,100
I mean, it's just...
falling.
1020
00:56:32,940 --> 00:56:34,659
If I do this,
1021
00:56:34,660 --> 00:56:36,659
you promise you'll jump?
1022
00:56:36,660 --> 00:56:38,220
I promise!
1023
00:56:41,460 --> 00:56:42,780
Come on.
1024
00:56:46,980 --> 00:56:50,539
OK. One, two...
1025
00:56:50,540 --> 00:56:55,179
No, wait, wait, wait. Is it one,
two, three, or one, two, three, go?
1026
00:56:55,180 --> 00:56:58,779
- One, two, three, go! It always is.
- OK, all right! - Get on with it!
1027
00:56:58,780 --> 00:57:00,820
All right. OK.
1028
00:57:02,580 --> 00:57:04,019
One...
1029
00:57:04,020 --> 00:57:06,659
..two, three...
1030
00:57:06,660 --> 00:57:07,940
..go!
1031
00:57:11,660 --> 00:57:13,939
I can't believe he did it!
1032
00:57:13,940 --> 00:57:15,500
Wow!
1033
00:57:32,860 --> 00:57:35,859
Luckily, he landed in an eagle's
nest and it adopted him
1034
00:57:35,860 --> 00:57:38,179
and fed him all summer.
1035
00:57:38,180 --> 00:57:40,859
Can I just point out,
though, that earlier on,
1036
00:57:40,860 --> 00:57:44,219
I presented a 15-grand Suzuki
that could do anything,
1037
00:57:44,220 --> 00:57:48,339
and now you guys are telling people
to buy a Ferrari
1038
00:57:48,340 --> 00:57:49,939
or a Porsche for six figures,
1039
00:57:49,940 --> 00:57:54,619
instead of a perfectly good
Skoda Superb that does everything?
1040
00:57:54,620 --> 00:57:59,019
Rory, Rory, this is Top Gear,
so, yeah!
1041
00:57:59,020 --> 00:58:02,819
Yeah, we're not saying they should
buy a Ferrari or a Porsche,
1042
00:58:02,820 --> 00:58:05,179
we're saying
they should buy the Porsche.
1043
00:58:05,180 --> 00:58:08,499
No, no, we're not saying that. We're
saying they should buy the Ferrari.
1044
00:58:08,500 --> 00:58:09,579
So, you went to Norway
1045
00:58:09,580 --> 00:58:12,459
and then didn't even decide
which was the best car?
1046
00:58:12,460 --> 00:58:14,419
- Yeah. - Yeah. - Right.
1047
00:58:14,420 --> 00:58:15,859
We're here to help!
1048
00:58:15,860 --> 00:58:18,219
And on that conclusive note,
we must end the show.
1049
00:58:18,220 --> 00:58:21,860
Thank you so much for watching.
We'll see you next week. Goodnight!
