0:00:22 > 0:00:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Hello, and welcome to Top Gear.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33And thank YOU in particular, yes.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34All right, we are back
0:00:34 > 0:00:36and we have been busy driving a whole lot of cars.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Here's what we've got coming up for you in this series.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Who says we don't do serious car reviews?
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Here!
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Noooo!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Whoohoo! How good is that?!
0:01:02 > 0:01:03- Scare me!- Scare you?!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Scare me!- I'm trying!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09That's what I'm talking about!
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Yahoo!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16That, my friend, is panache.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19CAR ALARM WAILS
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Imola!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Incoming car.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Come on!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:43 > 0:01:47All that to look forward to over the next six weeks, OK?
0:01:47 > 0:01:48But first up,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52you ask any car lover what their favourite noise in the world is,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and they will immediately say...
0:01:54 > 0:01:55The V8 engine.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Exactly.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58And with this year being, as you all know,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01the 116th anniversary of the V8 car...
0:02:01 > 0:02:04The big 116!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07..we decided it was time for a little celebration.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Yeah, so the producers told us three each to pick a new V8 sports car
0:02:11 > 0:02:12that could do anything.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And head to America's Wild West for a mystery road trip.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21The United States -
0:02:21 > 0:02:26spiritual home of the V8 and land of the great American road trip.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Ours would begin at a remote location in Utah,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34where we'd been told to show up with the best all-around sports car
0:02:34 > 0:02:38we could find, powered by that most iconic of all engines.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39ENGINE PURRS
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Yeah, baby.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44And since I had the home advantage,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I took the producer's brief and... well, I nailed it.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54The Ford Mustang.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59The original American V8 performance icon, huh?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And this isn't just any Ford Mustang -
0:03:01 > 0:03:03no, no, no, no, no, no.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08This is the raciest Mustang Ford makes, the GT350R.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Carbon fibre wheels, a 5.2-litre V8 motor that makes 520 horsepower.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Only this one...doesn't.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Because in the finest Mustang tradition of taking a fast thing
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and making it even faster,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24this particular GT350R
0:03:24 > 0:03:28has been lightly enhanced by a man from Texas.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31A man called Mr Hennessey.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34DISTANT ENGINE Oh. Ssh, ssh. OK, here we go.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40And while I had embraced the V8 brief and used my imagination...
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Oh, yeah! That's right.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44..it appeared Rory...hadn't.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47The Jaguar F-Type SVR.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Yeah.- Yeah, isn't this great?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53I mean, you brought a V8 muscle car, I brought a V8 muscle car.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54No, no. No.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58No, I brought a V8 muscle car, you brought...
0:03:58 > 0:04:00..a Jaguar.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Well, this is Britain's answer to the muscle car.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06We had a look at your rough sketch and we refined it.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08This is muscle car 2.0.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10How much power does it make?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13575 horsepower.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Wow, impressive!- Yeah.- Wow!
0:04:15 > 0:04:16How about yours?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I don't know, really. I don't know. Mustang...
0:04:19 > 0:04:21What do you mean you don't know?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23This is a supercharged version.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Wait a minute - is this the Hennessey?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Is it?- This thing makes 850 horsepower!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Does it?!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Ooh!
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Lucky me!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Then along came Chris...
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Well, well, well.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41..with HIS idea of a great all-rounder.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Absolute shambles.
0:04:44 > 0:04:474 million miles of paved road in America,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and they tell us to meet in a pit full of rocks.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Worse still, it sounded like a 1980s arcade.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57DOOR CHIMES
0:04:59 > 0:05:06Gentlemen! Behold the McLaren 570GT.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07How's the, er, ground clearance?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Absolutely terrible.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10When they said "road trip,"
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I thought it might involve actual roads.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Chris, this is the Wild West.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You've got to be prepared for anything!
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Well, I suppose I am,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20because this is basically two cars for the price of one, isn't it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24On the one hand, it is still a proper supercar, crazy fast.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25But it's also a comfortable GT car.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28In fact it's three cars - check this out...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30It's also an estate car!
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Look at this!
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Wow.- You could seriously fit a couple of sheets of A4 in there.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38And not that flimsy stuff, I'm talking about the thick...
0:05:38 > 0:05:42The stuff you use, like, for a cover page, the good stuff?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46We're supposed to be celebrating the evolution, OK,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- of the V8 sports car.- Right.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51You've brought a car that desperately wants it to be 1965.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Yeah.- And you've also brought a car
0:05:53 > 0:05:55that desperately wants it to be 1965.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- So...?- I'm in the present day, you're in the past,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00as is confirmed by your shirt.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Right. What are you laughing at? Let's not get on shirts!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05LAUGHTER Let's not get on shirts!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- I look good!- You do look good.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- You look... You're on fire. - I've never seen a label
0:06:09 > 0:06:10riveted to a T-shirt before.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12That's remarkable, that is.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15But before we could get to the bottom of who looked least awful,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18a local turned up in an old Ford pick-up.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Ooh, that sounds a bit V8-y, what's that?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22They do burble nicely, V8s, don't they?
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Burble, burble.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- How are you?- Here you go.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Oh, thank you. Nice ride.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34OK. "You and your V8 sports cars will now drive
0:06:34 > 0:06:38"to America's fastest race track on the Nevada border.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41"Along the way, you will undertake a series of challenges
0:06:41 > 0:06:44"to discover which of your V8s is best."
0:06:46 > 0:06:49So, with the Nevada border a couple of days ahead of us,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52we had some road to cover.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54But, of course, first, that meant finding it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04This is the quintessential American V8 right here, the Mustang.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07HE WHINNIES
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Oh, yeah!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Buying it is just the start.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Then you get busy giving it more power, bigger brakes,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17probably even more power.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19It's the American way!
0:07:21 > 0:07:25The 570GT is the most relaxed car that McLaren makes, right?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29It's got softer suspension and it's quieter on the road -
0:07:29 > 0:07:31or at least it would be if I was on a road!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- CLATTER - Oh!
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Oh-ho-ho!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39ENGINE ROARS
0:07:39 > 0:07:43There is a very good reason why I chose the Jaguar F-Type SVR.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I chose this because it has all-wheel drive,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and that means it's ready for anything.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51It's unflappable.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Suave.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Like me.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59But soon, it was time to find out
0:07:59 > 0:08:02just how unflappable our V8s really were...
0:08:04 > 0:08:08..because getting out of this valley would take a bit of a climb.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12This looks like a very bad idea.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Dear Lord!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18One mistake up here, and you're looking at
0:08:18 > 0:08:20a very, very painful accident.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Look at the remnants of that car there!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32But none of that seemed to trouble the cowboy and his Mustang.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Careful, Matt, what the hell are you doing?!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39HE LAUGHS
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Coming round the top, boys!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Whoo!
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Supposed to be a road trip!
0:08:50 > 0:08:51God, look what we've just come up!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55That would be a beautiful death!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01With the valley behind us, waiting at the top...
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Hey, a paved road! Look at this!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Yes!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Finally, our V8s could stretch their legs.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17This is where the real test begins.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Ho-ho!
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Whoo!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26ENGINE ROARS
0:09:27 > 0:09:28HE LAUGHS
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Do you hear that, boys?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36That is the sound of an American V8 in the wild -
0:09:36 > 0:09:38the greatest noise in the world!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I don't mean to be pernickety here,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45but that's not an American V8, really,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48is it, Matt? Because that's a flat-plane V8 sound,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52and most American V8s are cross-plane V8s,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54so what you've got there is a European V8
0:09:54 > 0:09:56in an American body shell.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59That's about as American as Silvio Berlusconi!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Who is she?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04HE LAUGHS
0:10:09 > 0:10:13This is the coupe version of the car that I drove from Coventry to Geneva
0:10:13 > 0:10:14a couple of years ago.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17At the time, I said that was the fastest Jaguar ever,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19but that's not quite true,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21because THIS is the fastest Jag ever.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25This will do 200mph.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30The fixed roof actually improves top speed by 5mph.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It's the same reason Chris Harris is so fast.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It's all down to his dome!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Most supercars, they're a pain to live with, they really are.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42But the 570GT, it just isn't.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45This car is supple, it's comfortable,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48it's practical, and on this road...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I'm in the firm suspension setting now - if I go to comfort...
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Oh, yes! Oh, yes!
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Whoa!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Oh, that McLaren is quick!
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Hey, Chris, what's the 0-60 on that?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08About three and a half seconds.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09About the same as mine.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Matt?- Yeah, about three and a half seconds maybe.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Maybe less, I don't know,
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- right around there.- OK, OK - how about a shoot-out?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- A what?- Take the next left. Next left.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24And suddenly we were off-road again.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Oh, you're going to love this.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30There's nothing about this I'm going to love.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Right, here's how this is going to work.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Quickest on the draw, like in those old cowboy films.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42When I say go, you two head off,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44opposite directions, slow as you can,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46but no touching the brakes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48When I come on the radio and say draw,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50spin around and head back.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53First one across the line is the winner.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55This is completely childish.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57You don't have to play.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Oh, I'm going to play.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Yeah, I'm going to win as well.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Buffalo LeBlanc, you ready?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Ready.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Crazy Eyes Harris, are you ready?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Crazy Eyes, who has...?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Stupid nicknames. Yeah, I'm ready!
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Three, two...
0:12:19 > 0:12:21..one...
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Go!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26He's not even moving!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Two can play at that game, LeBlanc.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I saw brake lights, Harris.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38No brakes.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44A duel in the dirt -
0:12:44 > 0:12:46this is basically what this car was designed to do.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50He's got a locking differential.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52He can turn on a sixpence if he just does a little half-doughnut,
0:12:52 > 0:12:53whereas I can't.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Curse you, McLaren, and your lack of locking differentials!
0:13:00 > 0:13:05V8 muscle car is a tool, as good or as bad as the man handling it.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Remember that.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08SPITTOON PINGS
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I'm going to get over to one side now.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Wait for it.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Wait for it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Come on, come on, come on, come on, say it, say it, say it!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Draw!
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Ho-ho!
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Whoo-hoo-hoo!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Yes, baby!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- Chris is the winner!- Ha-ha-ha!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Damn it, he got me!
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Oh!
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Oh!- Chris has taken it!
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Chris, in the McLaren!
0:13:56 > 0:13:57- Well done, mate. - HE COUGHS
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Thanks for that! Cheers!
0:13:59 > 0:14:00HE SPLUTTERS
0:14:03 > 0:14:06So, with the Mustang out of the game,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09would the Jag be any quicker on the draw?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12OK, Crazy Eyes Harris, are you ready?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- I'm ready.- Rory...
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Odd Taste In Clothing - are you ready?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Never been readier!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Three, two, one...
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Go!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29OK, we're off.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Oh, he's had to creep away faster than me.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Man, this is so counterintuitive.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I've got 570-odd horsepower
0:14:37 > 0:14:40and I can only use about three right now!
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Who will it be?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Four-wheel drive, a massive advantage for him
0:14:48 > 0:14:52when it comes to heading back towards the finish line.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57But I'm not convinced that he can turn as well as me,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00cos I can spin turn, and he can't.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02All right, come on, Reid, come on, come on, come on.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- He's moving to one side... - Get ready, get ready, get ready.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09And draw!
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Come on! Come on, baby!
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Made it!
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Oh-ho-ho!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Whoo! Come on!
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Oh, I think I got duffed up there.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Rory by a mile!
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I think, yes, an actual mile!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Oh!- Ha-ha!
0:15:37 > 0:15:42That, gentlemen, is what you call a spectacular win.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Here it comes.- I just beat a McLaren, in a Jag!
0:15:46 > 0:15:47I didn't stand a chance.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50All-wheel drive Jag - wasn't going to beat that.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51You were gone.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53HE LAUGHS
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Are you doing the dance IN the car?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Yeah, a little bit. A little bit.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Just to confirm, er, I'm not done winning.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Right.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11So, as Rory took winning the challenge he'd just made up
0:16:11 > 0:16:12with his typical good grace...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Oh, it feels good to be a winner!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18..we got back on the road.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24The Jaguar F-Type.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Know what that says about you, Rory?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27What does it say about me?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- It says you couldn't afford an Aston Martin.- Oh!
0:16:31 > 0:16:32HE CHUCKLES
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Soon, we were told to head to a mystery location
0:16:35 > 0:16:38for our first proper tribute to the V8.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44What is this place?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I don't know. But it looks kind of creepy.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Who's he?- It appears to be a challenge, gentlemen.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Thank you. It says here,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02"The V8 sports car can trace its roots back to the prohibition era,
0:17:02 > 0:17:06"when moonshine runners needed speed and performance to evade the police.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08"To prove the speed and performance of your V8s,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13"you will now each run a crate of moonshine to the state line."
0:17:14 > 0:17:18So, this tribute to the V8 moonshine runners of old
0:17:18 > 0:17:21would be a chase through a sprawling industrial complex,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24finishing at a hastily knocked together...
0:17:26 > 0:17:27..border post.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29"PS - get a move on.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32"As soon as Officer Block finishes his doughnut,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34"he'll be in hot pursuit."
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Wait, wait, wait, wait. Officer Block?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Ken Block?!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Yes. Because no chase would be complete without a bit of company,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49we'd be pursued by legendary Sheriff of the Slide,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Ken Block.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52My buddy!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Me and Ken, we go way back! Yeah! K-Dog! K-Money! Big-K...
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Special-K is what I call him.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Very heart-warming story, Matt,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but Officer Block appears to have turned to the dark side.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05He's a member of the law now. Let's load up and get out of here, OK?
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- Copy that.- Shine time!
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Go, go, go, go, go!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Are you ready?- Hit it!- Go!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17POLICE SIREN
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Which way are we going?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30This is sketchy.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33He's coming!
0:18:35 > 0:18:37He's right behind you, Rory!
0:18:40 > 0:18:42With the pursuit gathering momentum,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46it seemed like a good opportunity to assess our cars' handling.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Ah, this four-wheel drive is perfect for this!
0:18:53 > 0:18:54This thing just grips!
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I can throw it into a corner, get on the power super early...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01..and it just goes!
0:19:04 > 0:19:05God, this thing is so fast.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But it's small and it's nimble.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10That's what McLaren is all about, it's about handling.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I've got handling to spare here.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16One-handage! One-handed shine escape!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Whoo-hoo-hoo!
0:19:24 > 0:19:25BOTTLES CLINK
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It's got so much grip!
0:19:30 > 0:19:31And the steering is like a razor.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34So aggressive.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37OK...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I mean, I don't like running from the law, but...
0:19:42 > 0:19:44..this is awesome!
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Whoa!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Go, Chris - go, go, go! - He's right behind me!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54SIREN WAILS
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Man, this guy really wants my moonshine!
0:19:59 > 0:20:01All right, we've got to lose him, you guys.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03We need to split up. Rory, you go right, we'll go left.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Go right, go right. - Good idea, good idea.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11No, no, no, no. Bad idea, bad idea!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14How do I get out, how do I get out?
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Argh!
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Hey, Ken.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24You know what rhymes with block? C...
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Oh-ho-ho... - Harris, where are you going?
0:20:44 > 0:20:45SIREN WAILS
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Relentless.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54REVERSE ALARM BEEPING
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Hey, buddy!
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Whoa!
0:21:05 > 0:21:07That's not friendly at all.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11How far have I got to go? Where is he?
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Oh, my Lord.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32He's so much quicker than me. He can go across the grass, I can't.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Oh, my God!
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Oh, ho-ho!
0:22:03 > 0:22:04I can see a border!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Oh, it's sketchy, the tyres are going.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Get through the border, get through the border...
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:22:28 > 0:22:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:22:34 > 0:22:36OK, we'll pick that up later in the show.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40But now it's time to put a star in our reasonably fast car.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42He's one of Britain's best loved comedians,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44he's had a number one hit single,
0:22:44 > 0:22:45and, most impressively,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48once owned a Mitsubishi Carisma.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51And earlier today, he got some training out on the track
0:22:51 > 0:22:53with Mr Charisma himself,
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Chris Harris.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Yeah, I've missed you. - Ladies and gentlemen,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59please welcome to the sofa Rob Brydon.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Hello. Hello.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07- Nice to see you.- Hello. - How are you, buddy?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Nice to see you, Rob. - Great to meet you.- Welcome, welcome.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Cheers. Thank you. Thank you.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16All right. Now you've driven round the track here before,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18how did you like the new GT 86?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Before we say anything else,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23it's soaking wet.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27It is wetter than the worst day
0:23:27 > 0:23:30of Noah and Mrs Noah when they're saying,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33"Have we got enough wood?" That is so wet. It was wet, wasn't it?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- It was wet.- So, the time is not going to be great, Matt.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38So you're saying it's wet.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40It was moist!
0:23:40 > 0:23:43OK. And how was Chris as a teacher?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47He's, yeah, I mean, an acquired taste, you know.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- You know that saying? - Oh, you don't have to tell me!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Yeah. No, he was good. He was good.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Right. OK. Well, let's take a look at how the training went,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55what do you think?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I've never noticed before, at the start...
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Yeah?- You see the ambulance and the fire thing.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02We always keep those there just to remind you
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- of the importance of your own safety.- All right, count me down.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08OK. Three, two, one, go.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09It's a great launch.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13And we're going to the left of those tyres. Left, left, left, left.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- What? Oh,- BLEEP.- Left of those tyres there.- What? LEFT of those tyres?
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Yeah, right now, right now, right now.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- What are you talking about? - Right! Go right there.- Where?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Right there.- There?! - Yeah, turn...- What, by the...?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- By the aeroplanes? - No, no, before the aeroplanes.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Did you do the medical before you came on?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Shut up.- Left here now, left here.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- There's, there's your two white lines. And then to the right.- Oh!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Now it's coming back. - Now it's flowing.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Oh, Lord Almighty, we're fast.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39OK, left here, left here.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Oh, oh, oh! - HE CHUCKLES
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Fourth. Fourth, fourth, fourth.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Fourth.- That's sixth. That's sixth. - Really, you want to be fourth here?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- That's sixth, that's sixth, that's sixth.- Oh.- That's second.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- LAUGHTER - That's fourth!
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- We've got to fourth.- That's good, you've got some feel for this now,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- haven't you?- Oh, lordy. - But can you feel...- Whoa!
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I'm not sure you know how close you are
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- to a massive accident. - ROB LAUGHS
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- But let's just go through here... - Oh, sugary!
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Oh. I don't like that.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08That is scary.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Full beans, full beans, over the line.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Over the line! - That is so frustrating.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13I want your honest opinion...
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Yeah...- ..on the level of support you've received
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- during your training. - Very poor. Very poor.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22I would say my coach is more interested in himself
0:25:22 > 0:25:25than in his young...
0:25:25 > 0:25:26his young apprentice.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Well, I don't know.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Looks like you did pretty good considering it's a lake out there.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38But cars are in your blood, your dad sold cars?
0:25:38 > 0:25:43Yeah, my dad was a car salesman. So when I grew up in south Wales,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46in Port Talbot, he'd often bring different cars back every day.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48So I got used to seeing these different ones
0:25:48 > 0:25:49coming back and forth to the house.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53And then years later, he worked for Mitsubishi.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Hence the Carisma.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Ah, there it is.- Is that known as being a very bad car, then?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Oh, it's terrible.- Is it?
0:26:01 > 0:26:02- Yeah.- Oh, is that it?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- That's it right there.- Look at the way the indicator on the left
0:26:05 > 0:26:08isn't flush with the headlight, but the one on the right is.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10You see? I mean, they couldn't even be bothered
0:26:10 > 0:26:11to get a good one for the press photo.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I think, I think what you're encountering here
0:26:13 > 0:26:15for the first time, Chris,
0:26:15 > 0:26:16is called perspective.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Ah!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20You know how on the left side, it looks bigger?
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Yeah, it's just closer.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25OK. And what do you drive now?
0:26:25 > 0:26:30At the moment, I have a Jaguar XJ, and a Land Rover Discovery.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Oh, dear.- The new one? - Oh, dear.- Yeah, what's the problem?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- What have I done now?! - The new Discovery?
0:26:35 > 0:26:36- Yeah.- So you've seen it?- Oh, boy.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- You've seen it from the outside? - Oh, you're talking...?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- I know, I noticed.- You've opened a can of worms...- The back of it.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I'm talking about all of it. Let's start with the sides.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- We'll leave the worst bit till last. - The sides are OK.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- What's wrong with that? - Look how much metal there is
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- above the rear wheel. Look at it. - Is that an issue for normal people?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- It is! - LAUGHTER
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Let's move round to the back.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Now, look at the lack of symmetry here.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Yeah, I agree.- So, they designed the whole thing,
0:26:58 > 0:26:59at the last minute someone's run in and gone,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01"We've got to put the number plate somewhere!"
0:27:01 > 0:27:03So they've just slapped it there.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And the design inspiration for it, here we go.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09LAUGHTER
0:27:09 > 0:27:13It's designed as an homage to Geoffrey Boycott's mouth.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18It... It is curious, but sometimes innovation startles us at first.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- It does, it does. - Where do you stand?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Er... Well, I think it's hideous.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- The Trip. Let's talk about The Trip. - Yes. Yeah. Tell us about The Trip.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Oh, I'm a huge fan. Who's a fan of The Trip here?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32- AUDIENCE:- Yeah.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- It's fantastic. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Very funny.- We drove... - Does that bring back good memories?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Yeah, that was The Trip To Italy, which was the second one.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Why choose a Mini Cooper convertible?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Oh! The Mini was... That was lovely.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Especially, you know, you had a lot of windy country roads,
0:27:48 > 0:27:49especially on the Amalfi coast.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52It was lovely to drive. In fact, I liked it so much,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I actually bought one when we came back.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Ooh. What?!- What's wrong with that?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Why would you do that? Cos it was... It was a really nice drive.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Was it like that rose you have when you go on holiday?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04You know, the four euro rose.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05And it's great when you're there...
0:28:05 > 0:28:08And you crack a bottle open three weeks later back in the UK,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- and it tastes like vinegar. - It's not... It's not quite the same
0:28:11 > 0:28:13driving it around Twickenham,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15or, you know, as it was on the Amalfi coast,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- but no, look, I'm going to... It was a lovely car.- One question.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- Do you still own it?- No.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23How long did you own it for?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I don't know, I had it for a year and a bit, something like that.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Why so long?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29LAUGHTER
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I think it's time to see your lap.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Ah.- Let's move on to that.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- Can I... Did I mention it was wet? - You did mention it was wet.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- But you had fun?- Oh...
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- It's a blast, right? - It's fantastic.- It's really fun.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40OK, let's take a look.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Hey, you know what, why don't you commentate on it?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45OK, all right. Here we go.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Well, perfect conditions for the youthful Rob Brydon.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50It's a nice start.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Oh-ho-ho-ho!
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Something is flashing on the dashboard.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I don't know what it means.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00That classic Roman profile gripping the wheel with assuredness
0:29:00 > 0:29:02and a strange sensuality.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04And he takes that corner with ease.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Look at the way he's going.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10And have you noticed it's wet?
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo...
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Difficult corner, difficult corner,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19difficult to see the white lines there,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21but he's done it beautifully.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25The inquest heard that although he took the corner smoothly,
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Brydon hadn't anticipated the...
0:29:29 > 0:29:32..group of nuns visiting the aerodrome.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35He took out six of them.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Thoughts with the families.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Yes, you don't want to hear the word "inquest" in your head
0:29:41 > 0:29:43when you're doing this lap.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49I have to say, Gav, it's a lot quicker than the Picasso.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54This bit, now, I think I got speed up here, and look at that.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56That's not bad, is it?
0:29:56 > 0:29:57This looks narrower...
0:29:57 > 0:30:00..every time you go through it!
0:30:00 > 0:30:02BLEEP!
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Oh, bloody hell. That was scary.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Oh, Robert! There's no need for that sort of language,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- you- BLEEP- idiot.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Oh, you...! Damn it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15And he comes now to his jinx, his nemesis, this penultimate...
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Oh, no, he didn't. That was the end!
0:30:17 > 0:30:19CHEERING
0:30:19 > 0:30:21That shows you how well I know the course, right?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- That's wet.- Ah.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I've never seen it that wet.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31That's monsoon conditions.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32I've never seen it that wet.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Well, there we are, then, whatever the time was...
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Well, I have it right here.- Ah.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- What do you think?- I just want to beat Tinie Tempah, really.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- You do?- I just feel in the world of rap,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42I feel Tinie is always, you know,
0:30:42 > 0:30:43threatening my territory.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48So, I just want to let him know. I'm a big rap star in this country,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51you wouldn't know this, Matt, but, er, I want to beat him.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54It was definitely wetter for you than it was for Tinie.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I think we're going to call your time, not just with a W,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58we're going to put a VW.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59- VW, thank you.- Very wet, yeah.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Thank you.- OK, Rob Brydon, are you ready?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Mmm-hmm.- You went around the track in one minute...
0:31:05 > 0:31:06..50...
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Oh, for heaven's sake, so I'm already down the bottom section.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13..point...five.
0:31:13 > 0:31:19- So I'm just...! - Oh! It's tough! Sorry, boss.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Great effort.- Yeah, well, I tried. - It was very wet.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- I tried.- It was very, very wet. Ladies and gentlemen, Rob Brydon.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- Fantastic, thanks so much.- Ah...
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Earlier on, you remember we were celebrating the V8 engine
0:31:35 > 0:31:37with a classic American road trip.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39We'd escaped from a big pit,
0:31:39 > 0:31:41staged a good old-fashioned Wild West shoot out
0:31:41 > 0:31:45and had a run-in with the law. Standard road trip stuff.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Now it's time to head back to Utah and pick up the story.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56The next morning, we were back on the road again.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03And heading towards our destination on the Nevada border,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06we had time to reflect on what we were really here to celebrate.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10There's a personality about the V8
0:32:10 > 0:32:14that no other engine configuration can match, OK?
0:32:14 > 0:32:18A V12 is the most exotic engine configuration.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19If you say I've got a V12,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23you think of the most expensive, exotic Italian supercars.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26If you think, got a V6, you're better than ordinary,
0:32:26 > 0:32:28but ultimately you're not the really fast model.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30If you say your car's got a V8
0:32:30 > 0:32:35it automatically makes it sound like it's... It's the one you want.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Petrol engines are dying out, there's no debate about that.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44And I can see pros and cons to that.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47But it really would be a shame to lose the V8.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48For me...
0:32:48 > 0:32:49..the V8 is sacred.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57I remember when I was a kid, I was 16 and a half, and my cousin,
0:32:57 > 0:33:00he had saved up his money to buy a car.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05And he bought a 1968 Chevy Camaro with a 327 V8 in it.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07So I had my license before him,
0:33:07 > 0:33:09and he really wanted to drive the car but he couldn't.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12So I talked him into, "Well, let's take the car out.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13"I'll drive."
0:33:13 > 0:33:17It was like my first experience with a V8.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19That thing was great.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22By the time he got his licence, the transmission needed a rebuild
0:33:22 > 0:33:23- cos I beat the- BLEEP- out of it.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28You're welcome.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Eager to continue our V8 celebration,
0:33:33 > 0:33:35we were told to head to a local racetrack.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Rocky Mountain Raceways.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43An oval circuit, which could only mean one thing...
0:33:44 > 0:33:45..Nascar.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Wow! You know where we are?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- Where?- It was 1957,
0:34:03 > 0:34:05the final race of the Nascar season.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Bubba Passwater's got to finish third to secure the title.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12OK, on the last lap, he's third coming out of the final corner,
0:34:12 > 0:34:15right over there. As he gets onto the straightaway, he gets tapped,
0:34:15 > 0:34:19he corrects, clips the wall - boom!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21The car goes up in a ball of flames.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24He is out of control. He spins across the line backwards,
0:34:24 > 0:34:26takes the title by a single point.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- Really?- No, I have no idea where we are.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Luckily, a local man on a golf buggy did.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Here we go.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Hello.- Hello.- Hello.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- There you go.- Thank you very much.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42ENGINE STRUGGLING
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Ooh... Ooh!
0:34:47 > 0:34:51It's a challenge. "In a tribute to America's favourite motorsport,
0:34:51 > 0:34:55"you will each attempt to set the fastest time over five flying laps."
0:34:55 > 0:34:58And we'd each get some help from the real deal.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Born back in the '40s,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04when moonshine runners took their outlaw V8s
0:35:04 > 0:35:05and started to race them...
0:35:07 > 0:35:08..70 years on,
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Nascar remains America's most popular V8 motor sport.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Big on noise...
0:35:17 > 0:35:20..if a little short on variety.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Wait, wait, so let me get this straight.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24We just go up there, take a left...
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- There.- And then what, it's a left? - Over there.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Rory...- And then left... - ..these are simple people, OK?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- You've met Matt. Let's go. Come on.- He's right.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35That's cold.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46For this Nascar-inspired test,
0:35:46 > 0:35:49we would each be timed over five laps of the track.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51For the first two laps,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54we would pick up some extra speed by slipstreaming the pace car
0:35:54 > 0:35:57before overtaking for a three-lap sprint to the finish.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I'll try and explain it.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04The car in front is bashing a great big hole in the air, OK?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07So you nudge in behind that car, you get the benefit of that hole.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10So you've got less air resistance, ergo, you travel faster.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- That's quick.- That's loud. THEY LAUGH
0:36:22 > 0:36:26I've got to judge when to duck out to get my maximum aero advantage.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Time it right, and it's called the slingshot.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33I'm going!
0:36:38 > 0:36:39It's quite physical.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41You have to really brace yourself.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Whoa!
0:36:49 > 0:36:51That...is tiring.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54So, with Chris having demonstrated the theory...
0:36:56 > 0:36:58..Rory was up next.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03I'm following a Nascar.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06Dear Lord.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12When Jaguar developed the F-type SVR,
0:37:12 > 0:37:15do you think they thought about bringing it to an oval in Utah?
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Probably not.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- And once he cleared the pace car...- NOW!
0:37:22 > 0:37:25..Rory found driving round in circles
0:37:25 > 0:37:27much more difficult than he thought.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29OK, late apex, late apex.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31That's got to be the secret, right?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Oh, that's too high.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Turn it in, turn it in, turn it in.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38He's just added about a quarter of a mile to his lap there.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41But what he lacked in technique...
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Bravery, bravery, bravery.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46..he made up for in recklessness.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49That is close to the wall! That is close to the wall.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Whoa!
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Yes!
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Oh, my God!
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Now I'm no mind-reader,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03but it seemed like he was pleased with his run.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09That was quite a proficient doughnut.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14Finally, it was time to unleash the 850-horsepower beast.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Which was a bit of a handful.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24The thing has got so much power that I don't dare pin it
0:38:24 > 0:38:26until I get it straightened out.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31All right, here he goes, I'm going.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- That sounds fantastic.- Mega.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46The grip in the front end of this thing is awesome.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47It's like King Kong.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Well, it sounded good.- It did.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I mean, look at him. He's just been following a Nascar,
0:38:59 > 0:39:04he's in a hopped-up Mustang, in Utah, on a short oval -
0:39:04 > 0:39:06he's basically in American heaven, isn't he?
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Give that man a foot-long wiener and he's complete.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Ah, this must be the times!
0:39:18 > 0:39:19- Here we go.- Bring it.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Thank you. Yeah, go back that way, it's easier.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29"Matt LeBlanc. You did it in one minute...
0:39:29 > 0:39:31"30.6.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35"Rory. You did it in one minute... 30...
0:39:37 > 0:39:38"..one..."
0:39:39 > 0:39:41It might get better. "..point four."
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- So, it doesn't. - You got closer to him.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- I gotcha.- But you did have 200 more horsepower than me, but well done.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Oh, God, here we go, here we go.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- Yeah, yeah. "Chris Harris."- Come on.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51- "You did it..."- Come on.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53"..in one minute..."
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Come on.- What do you want to do for dinner?- Just...!
0:39:58 > 0:40:00"Chris Harris, you did it in one minute..."
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Yep, next word, next word.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- "..20..."- Yes!- "..8.1."
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- Congratulations.- Yes!- Way to go.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- You see?- Mr McLaren. - Upholding Woking's honour.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Said no-one ever.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15THEY LAUGH
0:40:15 > 0:40:16- Well done, well done.- Thank you.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- Congratulations.- I'm pleased with that.- Now... "Your prize
0:40:20 > 0:40:23"is to take part in one of America's most exciting race events..."
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Do I get to drive that?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27"..chain car figure of eight racing."
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- What?- What?- Chain car figure of eight racing.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- Says it right there.- What's that? - How do I know?
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Let me see those times. I don't want to do it.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36- But you have to.- I don't want to.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- But you have to. - Well, I don't want to.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- But you have to.- So I have to... I don't HAVE to do anything!
0:40:43 > 0:40:47I'm sitting in a 1977 Pontiac
0:40:47 > 0:40:50wondering why on earth I tried to win that last challenge,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52cos this is not a prize, this is a punishment.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Yes! Figure of eight racing -
0:40:56 > 0:40:59the greatest motorsport we'd just heard of.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Three cars chained together
0:41:01 > 0:41:05racing around a track shaped like the number eight.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Which, of course, means a crossover in the middle.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Better still, with Harris in the rear car,
0:41:12 > 0:41:14only controlling the brakes,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17and the middle car just an empty shell,
0:41:17 > 0:41:21the driver in the front car would be in charge of both the steering
0:41:21 > 0:41:23and the acceleration.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26So, it was essential that Chris had a responsible,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29safety-conscious team-mate.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30- SABINE:- Hey, buddy!
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- Oh, God, no.- Let's smash some stuff!
0:41:36 > 0:41:39No, let's not smash some stuff, Sabine!
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Lining up on the grid,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46and with Chris still adjusting to his new role...
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Brake, Harris! Yeah.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- Oh, boom.- Sorry.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53..Team Top Gear would be starting at the back of the field.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56This is ridiculous, it really is.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00One of those cars is a hearse!
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Perfect. SHE LAUGHS
0:42:05 > 0:42:07She just sounds demented.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19- Woohoo!- It's on!
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Go, go, go, go!
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Apparently it would be a six-lap race,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28assuming, that is, they'd last that long.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Whoa, Harris!
0:42:29 > 0:42:30What's she doing?
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Oh, my God!
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- Whoo!- I've been in a car with Sabine,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39and it was one of the scariest things I've ever done,
0:42:39 > 0:42:40but I think this tops it.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Oh! Ow! Ow!
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Nevertheless, by the end of the first lap,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Sabine had somehow dragged them up to fifth place.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- Yeah!- You're all right, Chris, hang in there.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55It looks like she knows what she's doing.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56- No, we don't know.- We don't.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58But then...
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- Oh, my... - SABINE SCREAMS
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Ow!
0:43:03 > 0:43:04Whoa!
0:43:07 > 0:43:08Scheisse!
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Snared up by another chain car,
0:43:11 > 0:43:13the rest of the field started to pull away.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15And by the time Sabine broke them free...
0:43:15 > 0:43:19Yeah!
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Nice move, Sabine, way to go!
0:43:22 > 0:43:25..the rest of the pack were half a lap ahead.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28Which, in figure of eight racing, is a bit of a problem.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Ow!
0:43:32 > 0:43:33Whoo!
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Ow! Oh, my God.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40This is the worst thing I've ever done.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Unfortunately for Chris, though,
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Sabine is no quitter.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Brake, Harris.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Whoo! Yeah! We got them!
0:43:52 > 0:43:53Go, go, go, go, go, go!
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Ow! Oh, my God!
0:43:59 > 0:44:03And by now, the competition were having problems of their own.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05- Oh! There's a wreck up there. - Whoa, Harris!
0:44:07 > 0:44:08I can't see anything.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10This is terrifying.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13THEY LAUGH
0:44:15 > 0:44:19With two laps to go, Sabine had clawed them back up to fourth.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25But things were about to get uglier.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30- Ow!- Chris, where are you?
0:44:30 > 0:44:32BLEEP!
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Oh, not again.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37Ow! This is carnage.
0:44:37 > 0:44:38This is awesome!
0:44:44 > 0:44:48Entering the final lap, Sabine could sense a podium finish.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Yeah! I do! I do! I do!
0:44:51 > 0:44:53And with just the final corner left,
0:44:53 > 0:44:55she'd go through the hearse to get it.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57- On three!- Not through there, Sabine!
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Not through there!
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Whoo! Yes!
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Push, push, push!
0:45:06 > 0:45:08- Yeah! Way to go! Way to go!- Whoo!
0:45:08 > 0:45:11Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
0:45:11 > 0:45:14Yeah! Woohoo!
0:45:18 > 0:45:23Chequered flag. You're in third. Way to go! Way to go! Way to go!
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Woohoo! Yee-ha!
0:45:25 > 0:45:27SHE LAUGHS
0:45:27 > 0:45:28CHRIS GROANS
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Chris, good job! Are you still there?
0:45:32 > 0:45:34Just.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36You total lunatic.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39SHE LAUGHS
0:45:41 > 0:45:43With Chris choosing not to stick around
0:45:43 > 0:45:46to see what the prize for third place was,
0:45:46 > 0:45:48we got back on the road.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55I think the greatest thing America has given to planet Earth
0:45:55 > 0:45:57is chain car racing. That was great.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59It's one of our proudest moments, really.
0:46:06 > 0:46:07Sensing Chris didn't wholly agree,
0:46:07 > 0:46:10and I hate seeing the little guy upset,
0:46:10 > 0:46:12I had an idea to cheer him up.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15Hey, you know what? I've got a game we could play.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17It's called Nascar or Nas-can't.
0:46:19 > 0:46:24So, I'm going to say a name and you tell me if it's a real Nascar driver
0:46:24 > 0:46:26or just someone that I've made up.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28OK?
0:46:28 > 0:46:30OK.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32How about Lake Speed?
0:46:32 > 0:46:35That sounds more like a place than a person.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37That's a real Nascar driver.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40Lake Speed is Nascar driver?
0:46:40 > 0:46:43Yes, it is. How about Dick Trickle?
0:46:45 > 0:46:47THAT'S a real Nascar driver.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50He's real, yeah. OK, here's another one.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53- Patty Grossman. - Yeah, he sounds very Nascar.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55That's my mother!
0:46:55 > 0:46:57LAUGHTER
0:47:01 > 0:47:05With Harris feeling better, soon we all had a reason to smile.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Because our goal at the Nevada border...
0:47:10 > 0:47:12..was finally within reach.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Oh, I know where we're going.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23I think I know where we're going too.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26Yeah...
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Where are we going?
0:47:29 > 0:47:31I think we're headed to Bonneville.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34America's fastest race track.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39For over a century, pilgrims of extreme speed
0:47:39 > 0:47:42have been drawn here from all over the world...
0:47:43 > 0:47:48..to 46 square miles of pristine unbroken salt flats.
0:47:49 > 0:47:54This is where the 300, the 400, the 500,
0:47:54 > 0:47:58even the 600mph land speed barriers were broken.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02This...is Bonneville.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06I can't believe I'm here.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09As we pulled onto the salt, though,
0:48:09 > 0:48:12the dry lake bed did have a bit of a problem.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16Oh, no.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19Well, this is...moist.
0:48:19 > 0:48:23Freak rain had blown in, flooding the flats
0:48:23 > 0:48:26and washing away any chance of a top speed run.
0:48:28 > 0:48:29What the hell?
0:48:33 > 0:48:35I'm absolutely gutted.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40I've waited 30-odd years to come to the Mecca of speed
0:48:40 > 0:48:42and when I finally get here
0:48:42 > 0:48:43it's a lake.
0:48:45 > 0:48:46What are we going to do?
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Hi.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55- How are you?- Good.- Thank you.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58- Sorry.- Hey, it's not your fault.
0:48:58 > 0:48:59Or is it?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- No, no.- OK. "Chin up.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05"Your celebration of V8s isn't over yet.
0:49:05 > 0:49:06"Just up the road is a race track
0:49:06 > 0:49:09"where your new final challenge awaits."
0:49:09 > 0:49:10But it's not Bonneville, is it?
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Well, yeah, but it's a racetrack, so at least we'll be able to go fast.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Well, it's got to be better than this.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23Yeah. Come on.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Really? So that was Bonneville?
0:49:25 > 0:49:2935 years waiting, and I stand in front of a puddle and go again.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Well, you can get in if you want.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37Gutted.
0:49:40 > 0:49:41I suppose I've now got
0:49:41 > 0:49:44one of the worst Bonneville stories of anyone I know.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Rory, how are you feeling about it?
0:49:46 > 0:49:51Yeah, I wanted to smash through that 200mph barrier in this thing,
0:49:51 > 0:49:55- but it wasn't to be.- What is the top speed of that car, Rory?
0:49:55 > 0:49:56Just over 200.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58- How about you?- What is it exactly?
0:50:00 > 0:50:03200.
0:50:03 > 0:50:08So, how exactly were you going to "smash through" the 200mph barrier?
0:50:08 > 0:50:11I was hoping for a bit of a tailwind.
0:50:11 > 0:50:12Good answer.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16But then, just up the road...
0:50:16 > 0:50:18Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look at this.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20..Chris spotted an opportunity.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24I'm turning in here. Follow me in here. Come on.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Dude, the sign says "no trespassing."
0:50:31 > 0:50:32An open gate is an invitation,
0:50:32 > 0:50:36and I have an itch to scratch.
0:50:36 > 0:50:37Oh, yeah.
0:50:37 > 0:50:42We'd stumbled across a very quiet, very long runway.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44This looks great.
0:50:46 > 0:50:47All right, so what are we thinking?
0:50:47 > 0:50:50- Drag race?- Yes, please!
0:50:50 > 0:50:52It's time to let the big dog eat.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Here we go. Here we go.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57How much power have you got again?
0:50:57 > 0:51:00850 horsepower.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03You may have 850, but I want to know how much you can use in the first
0:51:03 > 0:51:05- three gears.- What are you saying?
0:51:05 > 0:51:08You can use more of your power than I can use of mine?
0:51:08 > 0:51:10I can use all of my power in the first three gears.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13I don't think you can use even a small percentage of yours,
0:51:13 > 0:51:16and hopefully by the time you get going, I'm gone.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19I'll tell you what, Chris,
0:51:19 > 0:51:23you pull out yours and I'll pull out just enough to beat you.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25HE LAUGHS
0:51:29 > 0:51:31All right, are we doing this, or what?
0:51:32 > 0:51:35OK, I'll call it. We go on "go."
0:51:35 > 0:51:38Three, two...
0:51:39 > 0:51:41..one, go.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48Oh, the Jag is gone!
0:51:48 > 0:51:50I'm winning! I'm winning!
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Whoo! I'm winning!
0:51:53 > 0:51:54OK, no, I'm not.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Bye-bye, Mr Reid.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Where's the yellow car?
0:51:59 > 0:52:01That's the one that's worrying me.
0:52:01 > 0:52:02There's the red one.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Oh!
0:52:05 > 0:52:07OK, 160.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09I still can't see the yellow car.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11170.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Come on! Hya! Hya! Hya!
0:52:16 > 0:52:20199. 201. 203 over the line.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24Damn it!
0:52:24 > 0:52:26This is the baby McLaren.
0:52:26 > 0:52:30This is the Ford Fiesta of the McLaren range
0:52:30 > 0:52:35and it just did 203 and smoked an 850-horsepower Mustang.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37Boy, that McLaren is fast.
0:52:40 > 0:52:43So, as we hurried on our way again,
0:52:43 > 0:52:46our impromptu drag race had taught us
0:52:46 > 0:52:49that naturally my McLaren is devastatingly quick,
0:52:49 > 0:52:54that Matt's Mustang can't actually use 850 horsepower,
0:52:54 > 0:52:57and that Rory had his own unique take on the result.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03Chris and Matt, do you know what the speed limit is in the UK?
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- Yes.- It's 70mph,
0:53:06 > 0:53:12and I'd like to point out that in that drag race up to 90mph
0:53:12 > 0:53:14the F-Type SVR was in the lead,
0:53:14 > 0:53:17therefore, in real-world situations,
0:53:17 > 0:53:20this car is quicker than the McLaren
0:53:20 > 0:53:24and an 850-horsepower Mustang.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28Even by your standards, Rory, you're fumbling around for a false glory.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31No, no, no, no, no. I'm about 300 kilos heavier than that McLaren,
0:53:31 > 0:53:34and about the same thing as that giant fridge on wheels
0:53:34 > 0:53:37that you're driving. But I think I acquitted myself pretty well.
0:53:37 > 0:53:38This is a great all-round car.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Yeah, I think I drove by you
0:53:40 > 0:53:42like you forgot where the accelerator was.
0:53:42 > 0:53:47Listen, guys, come on, I think this car did surprise you a little bit.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49You might look at this car and think,
0:53:49 > 0:53:53it's no McLaren, it's no Hennessy, but it's hanging in there.
0:53:55 > 0:53:56I wasn't thinking that, no.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59THEY LAUGH
0:53:59 > 0:54:01And before Rory could come up with more ways
0:54:01 > 0:54:04in which his Jag wasn't as quick,
0:54:04 > 0:54:07we reached our V8s' new final playground.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10I see flags. I see flags.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Yeah, I see grandstands. I see grandstands.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Could this be the scene of another McLaren victory? I hear you ask.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24Could this be the scene of another McLaren victory? I hear you...
0:54:34 > 0:54:36Now we're talking.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Whoo!
0:54:38 > 0:54:39Look at the view.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44Oh, yeah, look at that!
0:54:44 > 0:54:46That is a GT40.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48- Yeah.- That is beautiful.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51Yes, the GT40.
0:54:51 > 0:54:531960s icon,
0:54:53 > 0:54:56and ground-breaking, Ferrari-beating,
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Le Mans-winning masterpiece.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02That is a legendary V8, right there.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05Hey, how are you? Oh, cool. Right on, thank you.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09"For your final challenge, you will now take on
0:55:09 > 0:55:11"one of the greatest V8s of all time." That's true.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14That is really true. Which won't be a problem, I don't think,
0:55:14 > 0:55:18because we've got more power, better brakes, better...
0:55:18 > 0:55:21Uh-oh. That changes things.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23Does he have the correct visa?
0:55:23 > 0:55:25Is he allowed to be here?
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Unfortunately, he was.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35That is a magnificent sound.
0:55:35 > 0:55:36Wow.
0:55:38 > 0:55:42The Stig would set a time for six laps of the circuit,
0:55:42 > 0:55:47a time which we would have to then beat as a team.
0:55:47 > 0:55:48Pros and cons.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51We have more power, more modern tyres and brakes.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54- Cons...- He has him.- Yeah.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58And all too soon, Stig's six laps were up.
0:56:01 > 0:56:0410 minutes 11.4.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07OK, that's the combined time to beat.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10So, to pit our V8s against the GT40
0:56:10 > 0:56:13we'd be running a relay of two laps each.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18And with a standing start for the first leg,
0:56:18 > 0:56:23we needed the best car for pure off-the-line acceleration.
0:56:23 > 0:56:24All right, Rory, are you ready?
0:56:24 > 0:56:26Never been readier.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29Three, two...
0:56:29 > 0:56:31..one, go!
0:56:33 > 0:56:34Whoo!
0:56:38 > 0:56:39Sounds quick.
0:56:43 > 0:56:44All-wheel drive...
0:56:44 > 0:56:46..for the win.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52Spot your apex, Reid. Spot your apex.
0:56:52 > 0:56:54There she is.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57On that power. Oh, that's good.
0:56:57 > 0:56:58So good.
0:57:00 > 0:57:01The engine is still making noise.
0:57:01 > 0:57:04- That's a good sign.- This means that he's not rolled it.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Yes! Yes!
0:57:11 > 0:57:15Oh, that's messy, Reid. Come on, tidier, tidier.
0:57:15 > 0:57:19All right, so, I need a 1:42 average lap time.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24- Yeah, he's kind of missed that one. - He's overcooked that one.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27Oh, no, this is looking like a 1:45.
0:57:27 > 0:57:28Argh!
0:57:32 > 0:57:36- Focus, Rory. Focus. Focus. Focus. - I'm focusing! I'm focusing!
0:57:37 > 0:57:39Come on, Rory. Here he comes.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41You should get in the car, maybe.
0:57:41 > 0:57:45- Oh.- I don't know if this is good enough.
0:57:45 > 0:57:46I don't know.
0:57:52 > 0:57:53Come on, guys. Come on, guys.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59- Here we go.- Come on.
0:57:59 > 0:58:01Go, go, go, go, go!
0:58:01 > 0:58:02Push, Harris! Push!
0:58:04 > 0:58:07Two laps down, and Rory's run in the Jag
0:58:07 > 0:58:10had left us six seconds off the pace.
0:58:10 > 0:58:12To beat the GT40...
0:58:12 > 0:58:14Smooth, Chris. Smooth!
0:58:14 > 0:58:16..Chris and his McLaren needed their A-game.
0:58:19 > 0:58:22This is a car that was doing 200mph in a straight line
0:58:22 > 0:58:26but it's now agile and fast here.
0:58:28 > 0:58:30Oh, good line through there. Nice.
0:58:30 > 0:58:32Nice! Nice!
0:58:32 > 0:58:33Just floor it.
0:58:36 > 0:58:37Push, push, push!
0:58:39 > 0:58:40OK, that's a 1:38.
0:58:40 > 0:58:43- We've got a shot here. - OK, that's good.
0:58:43 > 0:58:45I'm buying us some time now.
0:58:48 > 0:58:49Now just three seconds behind...
0:58:49 > 0:58:52All right, Chris, one more clean one. One more clean one.
0:58:54 > 0:58:56..we were back in the hunt.
0:58:56 > 0:58:59OK, we're at 5:58, 5:59, six minutes.
0:58:59 > 0:59:01Chris, come on. Push, push, push!
0:59:03 > 0:59:06Let's do it for America. Don't let me down, girl.
0:59:07 > 0:59:10Go on, Matt. Go on, Matt.
0:59:10 > 0:59:11Come on, Matt. Launch it!
0:59:17 > 0:59:20All right, here we go. Here we go.
0:59:20 > 0:59:22This was it, the last leg.
0:59:24 > 0:59:27And however this tribute to the greatest of all engines would end...
0:59:29 > 0:59:31..at least one thing was certain.
0:59:32 > 0:59:34That's it. That's the stuff.
0:59:34 > 0:59:38The V8 engine is a fighter, and one that still packs a serious punch.
0:59:41 > 0:59:43- Where are we at?- 7:30. 7:30.
0:59:43 > 0:59:46- Are we ahead of time, or..? - We're on the edge.
0:59:46 > 0:59:48Come on, baby. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
0:59:48 > 0:59:49Come on.
0:59:51 > 0:59:54Oh, it's got so much freaking power.
0:59:56 > 0:59:57Come on!
