:00:15. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones. You
:00:23. > :00:30.would think that tonight's guest would try everything once. Well,
:00:31. > :00:39.being the outdoor adventurer he is. But not when it comes to his food. I
:00:40. > :00:44.don't like octopus. Would you like to stop at a service station and get
:00:45. > :00:47.some crisps? Please welcome Richard Hammond.
:00:48. > :00:53.Since the financial crisis of 2008, many small
:00:54. > :01:03.did you get your crisps? I didn't. You have travelled to all of these
:01:04. > :01:08.wonderful locations and you don't like the food? You had to get your
:01:09. > :01:14.locations, get in and get out. I'm used to getting called in, eating my
:01:15. > :01:18.beans and getting out. It is not just a seafood of the menu, it is
:01:19. > :01:25.every French food, because you and Jeremy have done something we will
:01:26. > :01:30.talk about later. There we go. Plus we are meeting a British sporting
:01:31. > :01:36.legend, the 1953 Sidecar racing world champion Stan Dibben is in
:01:37. > :01:41.tonight. I say he is in, he is actually out, the Sidecar is too
:01:42. > :01:47.wide for the left. We will be down in a bit. Now, since the financial
:01:48. > :01:52.crisis into 2008, many small businesses in Britain have suffered.
:01:53. > :01:55.Speaking but they are fighting back and according to the Federation of
:01:56. > :01:58.Small Businesses, there are currently four points 9 million in
:01:59. > :02:02.the UK today and we have been keen to see how some of them are getting
:02:03. > :02:09.on. -- 4.9 million. So here's Declan Curry's final visit
:02:10. > :02:10.to the Lincolnshire coast. Cleethorpes in north-east
:02:11. > :02:13.Lincolnshire. In November, it is very different to those busy weeks
:02:14. > :02:19.in the summer when hundreds of visitors come for the holidays. I
:02:20. > :02:23.have been following the fortunes of the Pleasure Island theme park or
:02:24. > :02:28.year. I was here in the biting cold for the opening day of the season
:02:29. > :02:34.and then back in July for the sunny summer holidays and never park is
:02:35. > :02:41.ready to close for the winter. -- never -- never park. In the last
:02:42. > :02:46.film, it was clear that Pleasure Island was in trouble, ?120,000 down
:02:47. > :02:51.on where it should be. The future was touch and go, have the fortune
:02:52. > :02:54.changed over the summer? Will there be anything for the owner Melanie
:02:55. > :02:59.and her staff to celebrate? Or was this the last big bang for Pleasure
:03:00. > :03:04.Island? It is a big thing for the local economy, definitely. It brings
:03:05. > :03:08.jobs, money to people and it makes people happy. I have been coming
:03:09. > :03:14.here since I was little, the park means a lot to me and I am really
:03:15. > :03:19.happy that I can work here. It is the morning after the fireworks. I
:03:20. > :03:24.hear today is D-day? Speakergreen yes, it is. Melanie is calling a
:03:25. > :03:29.meeting with her managers, she has something to tell them about the
:03:30. > :03:31.future of Pleasure Island. Or her employees, this meeting could have
:03:32. > :03:36.serious implications for their future. We are the biggest seasonal
:03:37. > :03:42.employer, so if Pleasure Island was not here, people with those jobs in
:03:43. > :03:50.the summer, where would they go? I have been here 20 years, so it would
:03:51. > :03:54.be missed. Things were looking pretty bleak for a long time, right
:03:55. > :03:57.up to the end of July, but I wanted to give you some good news to let
:03:58. > :04:02.you know that August has been particularly good. It saved our
:04:03. > :04:06.bacon, so to speak, and the future is looking a lot more positive. It
:04:07. > :04:12.has been tough and stressful but we got there. So some great news and
:04:13. > :04:17.everyone will be relieved for you. You must be pretty relieved
:04:18. > :04:20.yourself. It is really good news, we have four weeks of consecutive good
:04:21. > :04:25.weather, people could plan. We got the numbers, we had good secondary
:04:26. > :04:28.spend, people were buying drinks and ice cream and all of that
:04:29. > :04:32.contributes to a better year and all in all, far more positive than I
:04:33. > :04:40.could have hoped for. And this place is not cheap to run. No, just under
:04:41. > :04:44.?2 million per annum. We have talked before about how much personal money
:04:45. > :04:49.you have had to pour in to keep the business, around ?300,000 last year
:04:50. > :04:54.alone. Are you getting any of that back? Yes, there is some good news
:04:55. > :04:58.on that score, I am able to pay myself ?100,000 this year, which is
:04:59. > :05:03.a step in the right direction. But still not paying yourself a salary.
:05:04. > :05:07.Melanie cannot safely say when she can pay herself a wage, but in the
:05:08. > :05:11.short, things are looking better than they did at start of the
:05:12. > :05:14.season. With the business safe for another year at least, there is a
:05:15. > :05:18.lot of work to be done over the winter. Many of the rides are put
:05:19. > :05:21.into storage to protect them from the worst of the weather and there
:05:22. > :05:25.is time to carry out some running repairs. I think you have got to
:05:26. > :05:29.admire Melanie. This place has given her such a sleepless nights and
:05:30. > :05:32.costs of thousands of pounds of her own money, but she keeps it going
:05:33. > :05:38.out of loyalty to her cell, her family and the town Cleethorpes. You
:05:39. > :05:45.have really got to hope that she carries on succeeding -- loyalty to
:05:46. > :05:48.herself also. Congratulations to Melanie and all
:05:49. > :05:52.of the staff. How much of a barometer is looking at Pleasure
:05:53. > :05:57.Island and reflecting on domestic business question what it was a very
:05:58. > :06:00.good summer, wasn't it? It was and you can't draw that much just from
:06:01. > :06:04.Cleethorpes. It was good news there and there is good news elsewhere,
:06:05. > :06:09.for the car industry, Richard. October was the fastest pace of
:06:10. > :06:15.growth for production this year. We have got the Autumn statement coming
:06:16. > :06:20.up this week. Good or bad? It is hard to say, we don't know, the
:06:21. > :06:25.Chancellor may have borrowed a little less money than he thought,
:06:26. > :06:29.the growth this quarter is OK, not brilliant, not awful, but the
:06:30. > :06:35.problem is we are seeing real gold come -- income's falling and
:06:36. > :06:39.businesses don't seem to be investing as much as they thought
:06:40. > :06:46.they would. So the real problem the Chancellor has is the growth in
:06:47. > :06:53.consumer spending paid for by debt. And 9 million others are in debt. A
:06:54. > :06:56.survey this week found 9 million reported in serious debt, 9 million
:06:57. > :07:02.people. That is a big problem. And if people watching the show do have
:07:03. > :07:07.problems with debt, they should contact the Money Advice Service and
:07:08. > :07:10.the details are on the BBC website. Especially this time of the year,
:07:11. > :07:14.with people wanting to buy what they can for Christmas. Do check out the
:07:15. > :07:22.website. Now, last night, we saw a dinosaur self-absorption for
:07:23. > :07:28.?400,000 -- sell at auction. What will they do with it? If you think
:07:29. > :07:32.that was pricey, what about this painting? It sold at auction for ?89
:07:33. > :07:40.million, it is a Francis Bacon and the most expensive ever sold at
:07:41. > :07:45.auction, a man in a chair. It is three paintings. It is still quite a
:07:46. > :07:49.lot! The man in the painting is also one of the greatest artists of the
:07:50. > :07:52.last 100 years, Lucian Freud, who was known for his eccentric and
:07:53. > :07:59.meticulous attention to detail, but not just on campus.
:08:00. > :08:03.-- canvas. The painter Lucian Freud was one of the most talented and
:08:04. > :08:06.reclusive artist of the 20th century. He painted some of the
:08:07. > :08:13.best-known figures, from Kate Moss to David Hockney and even the Queen.
:08:14. > :08:16.His paintings were uncompromising and not always flattering. His
:08:17. > :08:22.grandfather was Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis. Freud Jr
:08:23. > :08:26.was a bit of a bad boy and he fathered at least 40 children and
:08:27. > :08:31.loved to gamble and be impulsive. But when it came to breakfast, he
:08:32. > :08:36.was very predictable. For 15 years before his death in 2011, he came
:08:37. > :08:48.here, to Sally Clark's cafe. What did he come in and order? It was
:08:49. > :08:53.usually a latte. We called it a Freud latte, it was more milk than
:08:54. > :08:59.usual, and a large pastry that would fill the plate. He would arrive with
:09:00. > :09:05.paint splattered trousers and rather a dirty rag around his leg, which
:09:06. > :09:09.was his scarf. Journalist Geordie Greg was blown away by Freud's
:09:10. > :09:13.edgy, dangerous paintings when he first saw them as a schoolboy, and
:09:14. > :09:19.doggedly pursued him for an interview even then. I suppose I
:09:20. > :09:23.stalked him, really. But to no avail. The famously reclusive artist
:09:24. > :09:28.pages to giving interviews and it took 20 years of stalking -- hated
:09:29. > :09:33.giving interviews and it took 20 of stalking before Geordie hit on an
:09:34. > :09:37.idea. I said I had a brilliant idea but I had to see him in person and I
:09:38. > :09:41.was banking on his curiosity. I said to him, you won't be photographed,
:09:42. > :09:44.you won't be interviewed and I said I wanted to photograph a friend of
:09:45. > :09:48.yours and you can be in the photograph, and he said yes and that
:09:49. > :09:53.was the beginning of our relationship. Over weekly Saturday
:09:54. > :10:00.lunches, Freud revealed tales of his colourful past two Geordie here in
:10:01. > :10:03.Sally's cafe. It was the most important room outside his studio.
:10:04. > :10:08.He is to see everyone, his book is, his muses, his models, his friends
:10:09. > :10:13.and children. It is where he relaxed before he went back to that endless
:10:14. > :10:18.process of painting. He was obviously a very private man. He was
:10:19. > :10:23.the most reclusive man, he would go to enormous lengths to keep you out
:10:24. > :10:27.of his life. One biographer try to do a book and he bought him off.
:10:28. > :10:30.Another one try to write about him and he sent around some folks from
:10:31. > :10:35.the East End who persuaded him not to do it. Geordie didn't just read
:10:36. > :10:39.Freud once, he met him every week for ten years and was treated to
:10:40. > :10:43.tales from everything -- about everything from lovers to gambling
:10:44. > :10:49.debts. He will say, there I was on the back of a taxi and I would ask
:10:50. > :10:53.you with, oh, Kate Moss, giving her a tad too. As he entered his 80s,
:10:54. > :10:57.Freud spent more and more time in the cafe, but while Geordie was
:10:58. > :11:02.rewarded with regular conversations, Sally was offered a
:11:03. > :11:08.different kind of privilege. It was his assistant who asked me if I
:11:09. > :11:15.would consider sitting for him. What did that feel like? I couldn't
:11:16. > :11:18.believe it. I had to sit down but of course, the answer was yes, there
:11:19. > :11:23.wasn't any other answer. And what was he like when he got back into
:11:24. > :11:28.the studio? Did you see a change from the chap you are serving
:11:29. > :11:32.breakfast? When he was working, it was total concentration, on both
:11:33. > :11:36.sides, for the sitter and the painter. It took over two years for
:11:37. > :11:40.Freud to complete the picture. What does Sally think of the finished
:11:41. > :11:46.painting? I really love it. I love it. It has got my father's eyes and
:11:47. > :11:52.he has got my earrings, which I wear every day. I know every single
:11:53. > :11:57.brushstroke and how it progress over the years. Lucian Freud's paintings
:11:58. > :12:01.sell for millions of pounds and Sally's portrait is now in a private
:12:02. > :12:14.collection. Speaking I cried when he took it to the frame. Is -- I cry.
:12:15. > :12:18.Sally may not have the painting, but Freud's portrait exists as testament
:12:19. > :12:25.to his fondness for his friend and favourite cafe owner.
:12:26. > :12:32.Do you like his style? Yes. I don't know. Thank you, Phil. And a very
:12:33. > :12:38.important artist has drawn you, so we went to wear you can see it. Is
:12:39. > :12:45.it in the British Museum, the Tate? It is in the Beano is where it is.
:12:46. > :12:57.What an honour, hello? I tell you what, it is beautiful, the artwork
:12:58. > :13:00.in there. They guest edited me. I like the story about you looking for
:13:01. > :13:03.the Hamster in the hedge. There are a lot of messages, it is
:13:04. > :13:10.multilayered uncoded, you have to really look at it. You have been on
:13:11. > :13:17.what you call the Perfect Road Trip. This is the 51st DVD that Top Gear
:13:18. > :13:22.have released. Is it? Yes, why is this the Perfect Road Trip? Jeremy
:13:23. > :13:27.and I decided that we always make our lives worse, we always have to
:13:28. > :13:31.go to the North Pole or drive about in a rainforest in a broken down car
:13:32. > :13:36.and we thought, why do we always make it as bad as possible? Let's
:13:37. > :13:41.make it perfect, so we picked the perfect car for any given moment. He
:13:42. > :13:50.saw that the type Jaguar, that is actually my own. -- you saw that
:13:51. > :13:55.E-type. We went to France, so I thought, yes, the 1962 E-type and I
:13:56. > :14:00.called and got it over. So we struggled to get all of the perfect
:14:01. > :14:07.cars over. What a nightmare it must have been to film! It. ! One perfect
:14:08. > :14:17.car after another, did they just become not perfect anymore? How do
:14:18. > :14:23.you make one car... ? Welcome you are on a motorway and you think, I
:14:24. > :14:26.want a Rolls-Royce, I want a Maserati, there are some super
:14:27. > :14:34.hills, so I don't want a small cock, I want a super hatch. -- I don't
:14:35. > :14:40.want a small car. The elephant in the room is where is James May? The
:14:41. > :14:50.answer was in the title, we wanted the Perfect Road Trip. You know, I
:14:51. > :14:54.was busy last year. He did a DVD with Jeremy and he was busy this
:14:55. > :14:59.year. We decided while he could not do it, we would have the best trip
:15:00. > :15:02.possible! We were watching, and we thought it was an interesting double
:15:03. > :15:09.act, but we think we have seen this somewhere before because you are
:15:10. > :15:16.very similar to Laurel and Hardy. Look, it gets more Laurel and Hardy
:15:17. > :15:21.in the tunnel! With good reason, it is a model T Ford. And they are
:15:22. > :15:25.unlike anything. The reason we are screaming is because I cannot
:15:26. > :15:31.control it. We turned up in Monte Carlo and we had been drifting
:15:32. > :15:34.about, as you do, and we decided that the crop we have there,
:15:35. > :15:38.wherever you park outside a posh hotel, you park there until
:15:39. > :15:41.something better comes along, and then they put that outside. If you
:15:42. > :15:47.turn up in a moral T Ford, they cannot move it. -- model T Ford. We
:15:48. > :15:51.know this. The drama continued. Let's have a
:15:52. > :15:58.look. There are three petals. Which one is the Excel rater? That one.
:15:59. > :16:06.Start it. That is not the starter! Make it stop! Make it stop! It is
:16:07. > :16:13.not often say this, Hammond, but you have been a genius. You have never
:16:14. > :16:17.said that. Because if we cannot drive this, what chance do the Hotel
:16:18. > :16:26.have? It is the hardest thing I've ever done. They have no chance! Your
:16:27. > :16:32.life must be so tough, Richard(!) It is, sometimes. What else happened in
:16:33. > :16:36.France? Why did you get into so much trouble? Eventually, we came home
:16:37. > :16:43.and it was all over. There was a thing that happened. We fell victim
:16:44. > :16:47.to something to which older people fall victim. We did it as a warning.
:16:48. > :16:55.If you were quick to France, this is useful information. We got necked.
:16:56. > :17:03.The speed limit on the autobahn is 130R kph. I was doing 130R, barely a
:17:04. > :17:09.mile over the speed limit. But they did not realise that before the
:17:10. > :17:12.tolls, it drops to 90, and that is where they put the man with the
:17:13. > :17:16.speed gun. We got busted. Have you had to go on a French speed
:17:17. > :17:23.awareness course? Well, I would not understand it! We have not. We work
:17:24. > :17:27.dissuaded from driving there for a few weeks, but now we can. It was
:17:28. > :17:34.not about driving about -- it was not just about driving in fast cars.
:17:35. > :17:37.Jeremy did a lot of sightseeing, much to your frustration. It drove
:17:38. > :17:43.me mad. He wanted to go and look at all staff but I wanted to drive. You
:17:44. > :17:48.can do both. Yeah, but... That balcony is really something. We had
:17:49. > :17:53.the odd squabble, to be honest. It was immensely good fun and the cars
:17:54. > :17:58.were staggering. It looks beautiful as well.
:17:59. > :18:03.And you can see them yourself, The Perfect Road Trip is out on DVD.
:18:04. > :18:08.Just all you know, it was tough. We thought we would find out which
:18:09. > :18:11.presenter the public would like to spend a road trip with. We went off
:18:12. > :18:17.to the M40 and this is what happened. With whom would you prefer
:18:18. > :18:23.to travel, Mr Jeremy Clarkson, or Mr Richard Hammond? Jeromy. He reminds
:18:24. > :18:35.me of my dad. Who would you rather go with? Hammond. I think Clarkson.
:18:36. > :18:39.34 Hammond. 55 and three. -- 5-3. Do we have to choose one? Clarkson?
:18:40. > :18:49.Hammond? Yes. He got it. Item you what, those
:18:50. > :18:52.long journeys can be notorious for back-seat drivers. Terrible
:18:53. > :18:58.navigators and kids on Sunday screaming, "Are we nearly there
:18:59. > :19:04.yet?" I feel sick, I feel sick! Here are some more road trippers on their
:19:05. > :19:11.imperfect road trips. How do you cope with long journeys?
:19:12. > :19:18.We listen to the radio. You do not like listening to sport? No. The
:19:19. > :19:23.radio was from me because I'd do the driving. We row about getting too
:19:24. > :19:28.close to the car in front. It is good that I am in good map reader.
:19:29. > :19:33.True. And I am in good driver. I'm the better driver. Would you admit
:19:34. > :19:39.your wife was the better driver? No. Tell me about the things that annoy
:19:40. > :19:43.you. You drive too fast. I do not get into fourth gear quick enough,
:19:44. > :19:46.apparently. That can be too much chatter, telling me that I am doing
:19:47. > :19:52.something that is not right as we are driving along. What subjects of
:19:53. > :19:56.conversation had? Men, relationships. It has been quite
:19:57. > :20:01.juicy. It is nice to be in the vehicle without the kids. We have
:20:02. > :20:09.times when we discuss stuff that we would normally do. Generally, I'd
:20:10. > :20:12.drive on autopilot. Is he a good travelling companion? No, but he is
:20:13. > :20:20.a safe driver and that is the main thing. You are musicians? Yes. And
:20:21. > :20:26.you must travel a lot. We have been on the road for three months. We
:20:27. > :20:29.smell of rock 'n' roll. It feels like you are constantly taking your
:20:30. > :20:36.driving test, and yet you do not get annoyed by that. Not visibly. You
:20:37. > :20:42.know that services? It is on the way home. Would you rather be in a car
:20:43. > :20:46.or a motorbike? Your parents were happy for you to get a motorbike.
:20:47. > :20:50.They had no choice. I was going on about it for so many years. I love
:20:51. > :20:55.motorbikes. That is pretty brave of them. Yes, but they had no choice.
:20:56. > :21:02.Why would take my daughter on the back of my bike will stop and you
:21:03. > :21:06.are quite happy about that? Yeah. In honour of you and your love for
:21:07. > :21:09.motorbikes, we have got a film about the world's oldest sidecar
:21:10. > :21:13.manufacturer. But we felt sorry for James, because
:21:14. > :21:20.he did not get to go on a road trip, so he gets to go on this one.
:21:21. > :21:23.That'll make him happy. Perfect. Think of a sidecar and you might
:21:24. > :21:28.think of the two Fat Ladies, last of the summer Wine, or Wallace and
:21:29. > :21:34.Gromit. She won't go any faster! But this
:21:35. > :21:41.eccentric form of transport was not always just a comic foil. It was
:21:42. > :21:44.once a staple of British life. Gloucestershire is home to the
:21:45. > :21:49.world's oldest manufacturer of this form of transport. It started over
:21:50. > :21:53.100 years ago, when amateur inventor, Fred Watson, had a
:21:54. > :21:56.brainwave will stop he invented a twist on the original. It came up
:21:57. > :22:03.with the worlds first folding sidecar. His invention paved the way
:22:04. > :22:06.for him to create the what Sony and folding sidecar company, a business
:22:07. > :22:18.that would go on to dominate sidecar manufacturing. Mike was a friend of
:22:19. > :22:24.Fred Watson. The folding sidecar, why was it so special? He spotted
:22:25. > :22:28.that there was a difficulty. Sidecar is have to be left in the street, so
:22:29. > :22:34.being practical, he invented this collapsible sidecar. It enabled
:22:35. > :22:37.him, with the folding chassis, to wield be sidecar through the narrow
:22:38. > :22:42.passageway and get it off the street. From that, he developed a
:22:43. > :22:46.range of other sidecars. That was popular enough to launch the
:22:47. > :22:51.company. And production was driving up until the war? Absolutely. We
:22:52. > :22:58.developed it in the 20s and 30s. By the 50s, about half of the sidecar
:22:59. > :23:06.business was there is. When did the popularity decline? During the late
:23:07. > :23:13.50s and 60s. Competition from small cars, that was the end of sidecars.
:23:14. > :23:17.Mike and his team produce 200 sidecars every year now. A far cry
:23:18. > :23:23.from the 200 a week that they were making at the height of production.
:23:24. > :23:28.Harry Knight raced sidecars throughout the 60s and 70s. He is as
:23:29. > :23:35.passionate about them today as he was back then. Harry, when did your
:23:36. > :23:38.love of sidecars begin? In my early 20s. My body racing motorcycle and
:23:39. > :23:44.decided was going to be the star. I did half a season and thought it was
:23:45. > :23:49.too dangerous and not from me. But eyesore the sidecar drivers, and I
:23:50. > :23:56.thought I fancied one of those. It was from me. Could not stop. It is
:23:57. > :23:58.like drug. Eventually, Harry gave up sidecar racing as it was proving
:23:59. > :24:03.costly and his wife was worried about his safety. Many years later
:24:04. > :24:08.on a motorcycle holiday, Harry found a new reason to get a sidecar. Two
:24:09. > :24:15.people on a bike trying to carry luggage for a fortnight. My wife
:24:16. > :24:18.said, what about buying a sidecar? Put a sidecar on and we can carry
:24:19. > :24:23.all the luggage we want. What a brilliant idea! I have never been in
:24:24. > :24:34.the sidecar before, so I'm looking forward to my first spin.
:24:35. > :24:48.Let's go! You see the world from a different perspective.
:24:49. > :24:55.Once you ride in one, it is easy to see why 100 years after Fred
:24:56. > :24:59.Watson's design, the brand lives on. There is something about these,
:25:00. > :25:03.being so low to the ground and enclosed in this casual, you really
:25:04. > :25:07.feel the speed and it is quite addictive. Any chance of a lift on?
:25:08. > :25:21.No problem. -- left home. That is good speed!
:25:22. > :25:27.I have got to believe next like -- got the Li Na.
:25:28. > :25:34.Boys and their toys. A quick lap of the M25. Digital?
:25:35. > :25:41.Before Harry Knight, Britain had a sidecar racing champion by the name
:25:42. > :25:47.of Sam Devon. And he joins us now. It is a very special anniversary,
:25:48. > :25:50.Stan. -- Stan Dibben. It is the 60th anniversary of my World Championship
:25:51. > :25:55.win. And it was a series of championships. Not just one race.
:25:56. > :26:01.The last one that decided the championship was at Monza. And we
:26:02. > :26:05.took it by half a wheel. And they have made a documentary about you,
:26:06. > :26:09.called 'No Ordinary Passenger' , which tells all about how you used
:26:10. > :26:16.to use dirty tricks to get ahead of your competitors. Well, yes. The
:26:17. > :26:22.trick was to rob your shoulder in the road and shower the man behind
:26:23. > :26:25.you with stones. Really? ! And you were in the position I was there, so
:26:26. > :26:32.the key is to get as low as possible? You do not need to hang
:26:33. > :26:37.out all the time. If you hang out here, and put your feet up, you will
:26:38. > :26:43.take your weight off the back wheel. And it will oversteer. If you hang
:26:44. > :26:50.out with your legs down there, you will provide understeer. So it is
:26:51. > :26:56.not as simple. And before you came around the corner, Stan was saying
:26:57. > :27:00.how physical it was. Very physical. In the days of front exit sidecars,
:27:01. > :27:09.most of the G4S was taken off by drift. But in the modern cycles,
:27:10. > :27:21.they have sticky tyres, and all of the G4S is tremendous today. --
:27:22. > :27:27.G-force. This is a modern Formula one car. It
:27:28. > :27:37.has a bike engine, but really, it is like a three wheeled racing car.
:27:38. > :27:42.Yes. It is an aluminium chassis. Get in. I have had one go on one of
:27:43. > :27:47.these and I am never doing it again. It is terrifying! You have to
:27:48. > :27:52.clamber all over... And if you get it wrong, it does not work, that is
:27:53. > :27:56.the problem. If you do not do your job, it will not go around the
:27:57. > :28:02.corner. That's right. Racing cars do 200 miles an hour with four tyres
:28:03. > :28:07.and a driver. Sidecars like this one are doing approximately 190 miles an
:28:08. > :28:12.hour with three tyres and two people. I can tell you which is the
:28:13. > :28:15.most interesting to watch. And there is that thing when you have a
:28:16. > :28:20.massive sidecar, you are sitting to one side anyway, but it is hard to
:28:21. > :28:24.get around corners. It depends which way you are going. If you are going
:28:25. > :28:32.left... Stand, tell us about your first lesson. At the time, I was an
:28:33. > :28:38.experiment will test, testing solo bikes. And the World Champion was
:28:39. > :28:42.using the Norton motorbike. I was told to go to the motoring
:28:43. > :28:51.Association was missed Oliver wanted some ballast. I'm sorry, my friend,
:28:52. > :28:55.we have run out of time. Iter you what, you keep talking now. Thanks
:28:56. > :28:59.to Richard. Top Gear, The Perfect Road Trip is out on DVD now.
:29:00. > :29:01.Tomorrow, Strictly's Mark Benton and the Lumineers are here. See you
:29:02. > :29:04.then. See you later!
