00:30...it seems I've finally cracked it.
00:32Happy customer, that's a good feeling.
00:35We've dragged our PR department...
00:37You've got to get your arses over here damn quick.
00:39...into the 21st century.
00:41Our reach on that day was 317,000 people.
00:46And as brand ambassador...
00:48If you happen to have a car in the UK ever...
00:51...I'm leading the charge.
00:53Hey, this is brilliant.
00:55At least, that's what I thought.
00:57If you've over-promised...
00:59Promise, you can't under-deliver.
01:02...until my mum arrived.
01:04They won't listen to me.
01:05They'll listen to me.
01:06And it turns out that once again, I'm in deep trouble.
01:10I'm going to have to do something.
01:12I'm going to have to do something big.
01:13Oh, my God.
01:14I am pretty excited about this opportunity to go racing with Patrick, Blakeney Edwards, my mate.
01:42I mean, there's a slight issue in that to race with him at his level, I've got to upgrade my racing license.
01:49But I've done a bit of reading and researching.
01:52And to do that, I just need to do a little bit of marshalling at another race.
01:57So, thinking about it, that's like a win-win.
01:59So, I've got to do a bit more racing to do some more racing.
02:03Which is why I've dragged the MGB out of storage, and I'm taking it into the workshop to give it a once-over.
02:08And this is good.
02:09Morning, mate.
02:24How are you?
02:25I'm good.
02:26Good, good, good.
02:27But, um, why is that here?
02:29That's our race car, isn't it?
02:30Well, I can see it's a race car, but why is it here?
02:32Well, because I've been given the chance to do, like, a next-level race with Patrick.
02:37And to do it, I've got to get my license upgraded.
02:40And I do that by doing some more races in that to get the signatures.
02:43So, I've brought this in to give to the lads.
02:46Just give it a once-over and make sure it's not going to explode.
02:48And it works.
02:50So, you're thinking of banging that in the workshop?
02:53Yeah.
02:53And using more workshop time?
02:56Quite a bit.
02:56And then they can come and just, you know, they do what they love doing, be my workshop team.
02:59They enjoy it on the day, for if they're being the team...
03:02Well, I'm not surprised that they enjoy it, but it's not making money.
03:05No, but if they're being a race team, it's motivational and...
03:08I'm going to be fair, Ian.
03:11I think, under my watch, that's not happening.
03:16Do you know what the Pomeroy Trophy cost?
03:18No.
03:19That cost you ten grand.
03:20Can't take the lads.
03:21No, it can't happen like that, Rich.
03:23OK.
03:23I'll think of another way.
03:24OK?
03:25Probably already happening, isn't it?
03:26OK.
03:26Good man.
03:27See you in a bit.
03:29Reluctantly, you have to admit, Adrian's probably right.
03:39Um, I can't be spending workshop resources on that.
03:43I mean, it's not like we're awash with cash at the best of times.
03:46But there's an issue.
03:48Um, I have kind of already committed to a race at Silverstone coming up very soon.
03:56It's awkward.
03:59Bugger.
04:01While I let that little problem percolate, I'm hoping a trip up north to see an old mate
04:06called Ellis will help show Hadrian I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to business.
04:14So, I used to sell antique pine furniture and then deliver it in my little van.
04:18And I worked alongside Ellis.
04:21OK.
04:22Such a small world, eh?
04:25Ellis and I shared a love of bikes.
04:27And now, nearly four decades on, he's launching a new boutique British motorcycle brand and wants our help.
04:34This is awesome.
04:35This is going to be the smallest Cox's first collaboration with a manufacturer and a brand.
04:39Yeah, it would be.
04:39I can do it with some social content.
04:41Oh, yeah.
04:42They're going to their big factory there now.
04:43No, no, no.
04:44It's not Honda.
04:48Ooh.
04:49There's motorcycles, you see.
04:50Straight away.
04:51I'm happy.
04:53The prototype bikes have been designed and built in a home garage with the help of business partner Ian.
04:59Hello.
05:00Hello.
05:01Ian.
05:02Nice to see you, mate.
05:02This is Lewis.
05:03Hiya.
05:04Nice to meet you, Lewis.
05:05Nice to meet you, all right?
05:05Hi.
05:06Hi, how are you?
05:07Nice to see you.
05:08Nice to see you.
05:09Nice to see you.
05:09This is Lewis.
05:10Hi.
05:10Pleased to meet you.
05:11Pleased to meet you.
05:11Right, so we had the initial chair.
05:13I haven't seen one yet.
05:14Can we have a look at the bike before we do anything else?
05:15Of course we can.
05:16Of course.
05:16So is this number one?
05:18It is number one.
05:19Genuinely?
05:20Yeah, yeah.
05:20So these guys, because they're mad, at a time when the motorcycle market is struggling.
05:27Yeah.
05:28And the record of small, independent manufacturers succeeding is...
05:32Disastrous.
05:34You're launching...
05:35Will you stop it now?
05:37I think this is great.
05:39Positivity and all that, yeah.
05:40I mean, it's actually brilliant.
05:41I mean, I would never have forecast this when we knew each other 30...
05:4540.
05:46It's not 40 years ago.
05:4750.
05:48Shut up, at least.
05:49Some years ago that you'd be doing this.
05:51So what is it?
05:52What's the story?
05:53Where's the engine come from?
05:55The engine's from Italy.
05:56What capacity is it?
05:57600.
05:58Parallel to it?
05:58Single.
05:59Single?
05:59Yeah, and we just wanted to make something like the bikes we used to ride when we were kids.
06:04We just tried to be as lean as possible.
06:06How many are you hoping to make?
06:07If we got to the point where we're making a couple of hundred a year, it'd be great.
06:11Right.
06:12Can I have a seat on your motorcycle?
06:14You can.
06:14You can.
06:15Valet.
06:17Yeah.
06:18You can be nice to me now because I was always scared of you when we worked.
06:21So be like...
06:21Scouting.
06:24That's it.
06:25Oh, this sounds quite naughty, doesn't it?
06:29Yeah.
06:30I like the layout of it.
06:32It's quite off-road-y feeling.
06:34So what's this one in here?
06:35So this is the same engine but different bodywork.
06:39It's got slightly more duck tail on it.
06:40It has, yeah.
06:41So it's more of a flat tracker type style.
06:43It's quite cool.
06:44Right, so what, when and how can the smallest cog help?
06:48We are looking for someone to paint the tanks.
06:50Yeah.
06:50But we also need some suggestions for our colours.
06:53What have you got so far?
06:54So we've got the blue, the black and the red.
06:57And how did you arrive at those?
06:58He looked at the internet for ten minutes.
07:00I was thinking about my felt tip.
07:02Okay, so blue, black and red, these incredible new colours you've discovered.
07:05We'll come up with some suggestions.
07:07I'd love us to have a think about some sort of special finishes as well.
07:10When are you hoping to be in production?
07:12This year.
07:13Right.
07:14I can see it being quite a good launch with the smallest cog as well.
07:18Yeah, some sort of launch.
07:18You get the press to see it.
07:19Um, Ellis, I think you might be able to shed some light on a particular photo.
07:27I was doing a little bit of, uh, reading.
07:29When did you last read the book?
07:31Well, it had pictures in it.
07:33Hold on.
07:34Oh.
07:35Ready for this?
07:35That's not what I think it is.
07:37Just firstly.
07:38Oh, no.
07:38Firstly, let's look at the first.
07:40This was a long time ago.
07:42Now, there's a particular page.
07:45You might be able to tell me about this van.
07:47Well, firstly, that is an intact works van.
07:50Right.
07:51And on Richard's commute, one particular bend, there was a very old oak tree.
07:56I went off the bend and hit the tree.
07:58The van was totaled.
07:59Oh, my God.
07:59The following week, a new van was delivered.
08:01And history repeated.
08:03No way.
08:04Yep.
08:04The following week.
08:05Brand new van.
08:06Same tree.
08:06Same tree, same bend.
08:08I wasn't expecting that.
08:09Two vans.
08:10Insecutive weeks.
08:11Oh, my God.
08:12So that's crashing from Daydop then?
08:13Yeah.
08:14Yeah.
08:15So what's great is actually to see a one-piece Renault van.
08:19I'm taking that off you.
08:20I don't know where you got it.
08:21I'm going to go out and get one of those books.
08:23That one is fun.
08:23It's a sale!
08:24This is kind of the ultimate men in sheds, and I'm not being rude to them when I say that,
08:30because they want to be in full production, and I think we're about ready to give this
08:34a go.
08:36I sense fun.
08:49So the guys at Mac can go to any body shop, and they've decided to come to us.
08:54So I really want to show off what we can do, and hopefully we'll get the contracts.
08:57I'm not taking any pleasure in watching this video, because I know there's a race car crash
09:19coming, and I know it's my mate in the car, but I'm going to watch it anyway.
09:22And here he comes.
09:23He's lost it.
09:23Oh, that went over.
09:24That's up.
09:25I feel it.
09:28That's in the wall.
09:30Yeah.
09:30Well, actually, he's more than a mate.
09:31He's a colleague, Mark Sandman.
09:34I've worked with him for, to measure it, decades, on Grand Tour and Top Gear.
09:39He's a mad keen racer in his classic Mini, and, well, as I just saw, he bent it at an
09:46event.
09:46But the good news is, he's brought it to me to get it mended.
09:51Right, I'm going to go and see the wreckage.
09:52Nice to see Mark as well.
09:53Here he comes.
10:00All Sandman have a van.
10:04And there's his van.
10:06There will be a soldering iron in there, lots of different types of tape, but more importantly,
10:10behind it, there's his little race car.
10:12Look at it.
10:13Hi, mate.
10:14Hello, Richard.
10:15Isn't it lovely?
10:17Wow.
10:17It was a bit lovelier.
10:19This is the problematic corner.
10:21Oh, it's bruised.
10:22Yeah, what that is, is the wrong shape now.
10:25Yes.
10:26Has it bent the shell?
10:27It has bent the shell.
10:28If you open the door of truth here, it bolts in at the back fine, but here, it doesn't
10:34want to line up.
10:35It is definitely a bit wonky.
10:36Oh, mate, we've got to get it right.
10:38It's a shame.
10:39But it's all right.
10:39I mean, it's been a rally car since the early 1990s.
10:42It's got these lovely Monte Carlo stickers, because this car won the historic Monte Carlo in
10:472003.
10:48All we need to do is get Matt to go over it, because he likes nothing more than getting things
10:52in the right shape.
10:53That is the job for him.
11:00If you think about it, it is interesting time, Mark's mini coming in, because, well, it's
11:05kind of proof that there is work to be had from the racing world.
11:09So, I am going to take on board Hadrian's suggestion.
11:14But he didn't say, don't do any more racing.
11:17Specifically, he said, don't do any more racing using cog resources and money and people.
11:23Yeah, I think of a way around that.
11:25My amazing contacts.
11:26If this business becomes, like, a huge success, it's down to me.
11:34Hello.
11:35Hello, Les.
11:36How are you?
11:36I'm all right, mate.
11:37How's yourself?
11:38I'm all right.
11:38How's the mere?
11:39Is it raining?
11:40Not as we speak.
11:42If it's not, check you're in the right place, mate.
11:45I've got a quick question.
11:48Yes.
11:48How do you fancy a trip to Silverstone?
11:51That sounds brilliant.
11:52You won't be standing around, like, spectating.
11:54You'll be closer to the action.
11:56Oh, hang on.
11:57What do you mean, closer to the action?
11:59Ah, you see, I've piqued your interest, haven't I?
12:01You'll have to bring the smaller of your farmer's hammers.
12:04Yes.
12:04And perhaps a screwdriver.
12:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:07I'll let you know.
12:07I'll let you know.
12:09Bye.
12:09Bye-bye, bud.
12:11Right, let's see who else I can rope in.
12:14Zog, how are you doing?
12:22I've put two coats of colour on.
12:25I'm really happy with the outcome.
12:28Anyone can do this.
12:29It's just a standard straight colour.
12:30And we've got ten tanks for me to have a play with,
12:33and I can literally do whatever I want.
12:34So that's where you've got to show your skill.
12:45Ah, Jamie.
12:47It's a bit early for lunch, isn't it?
12:48You wouldn't want to eat this.
12:50That's not paint, is it?
12:51No, this is urea.
12:53Urea?
12:53Yeah.
12:54From what animal?
12:55Normally a pig.
12:57So that's a pot of pig pee.
12:58Basically, yeah, but it comes in a crystallised form.
13:01So what we do, we dissolve that in water,
13:03reacts with the paint, and cracks the paint.
13:05It doesn't come out the pig like that, does it?
13:07No, I hope not.
13:08Yeah, that would be good.
13:10Have you done this before?
13:11No.
13:11Are you taking a piss?
13:13You are, literally.
13:18Dip that in, get that nice and wet.
13:20Oh, it's warm.
13:20It's warm, pig pee.
13:22You don't mix this with the paint, then?
13:23No, no.
13:24So this is going to re-crystallise on the tank.
13:27Is that the idea?
13:28Once it crystallises, you put a coat of black on it.
13:31And we won't know what pattern we've got
13:34until we've wiped off the crystals.
13:36Yeah, you can see slightly,
13:38but you won't get the proper effect
13:39until we put the black on.
13:41Plenty of pig pee.
13:42Right, am I doing this?
13:50Yes, please.
13:51It's a brilliant theory.
13:52It works on the internet.
13:54Now let's have a go
13:55and we're in a professional workshop situation.
13:58Nurse!
14:01I've just been told Hammond
14:02is putting his hands on a paint gun.
14:04So, content for the Mack motorcycles,
14:06content for the workshop,
14:08because Richard's on a gun.
14:09Let's go.
14:09Just, um, clean it off now.
14:20And I'm going to need to take just the crystals,
14:23leaving the silver to shine through from below.
14:27Right.
14:27And then just gently...
14:29Very gently, yeah.
14:31Ooh.
14:33It sort of reveals itself.
14:35That is the random effect you get from the crystals.
14:38These look like ferns here.
14:40Look at that.
14:41It is a natural effect.
14:42Crystals form naturally.
14:44It sort of nature did that.
14:46And then the last phase is we then paint,
14:48special type of paint,
14:48over the top of the whole thing.
14:50Yeah.
14:50And where the silver is,
14:52it'll shine through that paint.
14:53That's exactly right.
14:55And this is the smallest cog in action, hey?
14:58Teamwork, making the dreams work, yeah?
15:08It's quite artistic, this process.
15:10This is what I want us to do.
15:13Do that bit more, add value,
15:14do something clever and a bit special.
15:16I've no idea what they'll make of it.
15:18I really haven't.
15:19And they're coming tomorrow.
15:20I'll have to explain how we did it.
15:22That'll be interesting.
15:23It's got to be careful when we unveil it.
15:41Just put it there.
15:41As I watch everybody getting ready
15:45for the guys to arrive from Mack Motorcycles,
15:49I'm just beginning to wonder,
15:51have I overdone it?
15:52Because Ian and Ellis are,
15:54they're actually quite conservative in their outlook.
15:56They're not going crazy.
15:58They want to just set up
15:59a good, functioning little motorcycle company.
16:02And I've presented them with a variety of options,
16:04including a petrol tank painted using pig pee.
16:11Gentlemen, hello.
16:20How are you?
16:20We're in good shape.
16:21How about you?
16:22We've painted some tanks.
16:23We've got some different stuff to show you.
16:24Should we just go and have a look?
16:25Let's go and have a look.
16:26Right, here we are.
16:29Are we going down?
16:31If you'd get to me up.
16:32Oh, my goodness.
16:34What's that?
16:35Yeah, that's why we've tried all sorts of stuff,
16:37just to see how they come out.
16:39Twin colour looks good.
16:40So we've got another experimental one
16:44that we've dressed the bike up with,
16:45just to...
16:46More?
16:46Yeah, I mean, you may not like it,
16:48you may like it, I don't know,
16:49but it's just worth trying.
16:50Oh, my goodness.
16:52Put it in a different outfit
16:54and it's a different bike, isn't it?
16:55Do you know, I would never have thought
16:57that colour would have produced that effect.
16:59But there's one last thing.
17:01Come and have a look at this.
17:02You'll have to come round,
17:03because we went a bit berserk.
17:06Wow.
17:07It's amazing, isn't it?
17:08I want this one.
17:10I'm just wondering, can we try it on the bike?
17:13We might all go...
17:13You've not popped it up on the bike yet?
17:14No.
17:15Shall we try it on?
17:15Definitely.
17:19Oh, my goodness.
17:21Look at that.
17:22God, that looks cool.
17:23That's completely changed it again.
17:25Cool.
17:26That does look reassuringly expensive.
17:30That is good.
17:31We can do more.
17:32This is the first time we've tried something
17:34that's really different,
17:35but it definitely works.
17:37So what we'd really like to do
17:38is take it somewhere where we can show it off.
17:41And where do you want to do it and when?
17:42It'd be really cool if we could do something like the TT.
17:45There's a lot of bikers there.
17:46It is the biggest motorcycle event in the world, isn't it?
17:50It's not a lad's trip.
17:51Well, we could make it a bit of a lad's trip.
17:53I'm totally up for that.
18:02No, I can't do that.
18:06Lewis?
18:06Mm-hmm?
18:06Um, I refuse to knock on your door
18:08because it wouldn't be right.
18:09OK.
18:10So, quite exciting.
18:11Mac boys, they're thrilled.
18:13Happy day.
18:13And a really good idea has come out of it.
18:15OK.
18:15We want to launch them
18:16at the Isle of Man TT.
18:18Wow.
18:19I mean, what better place?
18:20And that's where,
18:21God help us, you come in
18:23because it's an event.
18:24It's got to happen.
18:25OK.
18:25We'll have people there.
18:26I want press there.
18:28Social media.
18:29How long have we got?
18:30Ah, well, soon.
18:31But internet, that is your thing.
18:36OK.
18:44Got this little mini in.
18:46Rear corner damage.
18:47Subframe isn't lining up anymore.
18:49Just in this corner.
18:50We can clearly see
18:52that we're probably
18:53at least 10 mil out.
18:55The best way to straighten it
18:56is obviously to strip it to a bare shell,
18:58put this car on a jig,
18:59and they can reverse the impact.
19:03However, it's not a concourse car.
19:05It's been raced
19:06through most of its life,
19:07and there's no point
19:08in spending thousands of pounds,
19:10so we're going to try
19:12and do an alternative way
19:13of kind of fixing it.
19:20Matt's hoping
19:21his improvised contraption
19:22will do the same job
19:24as a frame jig,
19:25which stops a car twisting
19:26during heavy repair work.
19:28I'll feed this bar up to you, Isaac.
19:31This looks like
19:31a seven-arm operation.
19:34The bolted-on aluminium frame
19:36should prevent excessive movement
19:38when the 10-ton hydraulic ram
19:40pushes the body shell square again.
19:42Well, that's the theory.
19:46If it doesn't work,
19:47it was your idea, was it?
19:49Oh, yeah.
19:50Right.
19:54So, after looking at it earlier,
19:56so it's got to be
19:56eight mil further.
19:59It might look a bit odd
20:00measuring Mark's Mini,
20:01but actually,
20:02it's really important
20:03because of the way
20:04a Mini is built.
20:06Up until the Mini arrived,
20:08most cars had been built
20:10with, like, a separate chassis,
20:11and then the body
20:12bolted onto that,
20:13whatever body you want,
20:13so the two were separate.
20:14The Mini was groundbreaking
20:17because it's a very early monocle car.
20:19That means there is
20:19no separate chassis.
20:21The body kind of is the chassis.
20:23It relies on its shape
20:24for its strength.
20:26OK, you ready?
20:27Yeah.
20:27Let's go.
20:33I don't normally get nervous,
20:34but I'm quite nervous.
20:38Are we moving?
20:39Yeah, let's move in.
20:40Hey, mate.
20:41You've gone three mil so far.
20:43It looks like it's pushing
20:45the back quite squarely.
20:47I can see it moving the arch.
20:48And it's straightened
20:49this kink out
20:50from the outside.
20:52That kink's virtually gone now.
20:53You're 0.8 now,
20:56so you've gone six mil.
20:57Six mil.
20:58That's getting pretty tight now.
21:01That's pretty good.
21:02Look at that.
21:05Oh, yeah?
21:06Yeah, we've got seven mil,
21:07haven't we?
21:07Yeah.
21:08What do you reckon?
21:09I'm quite happy with that.
21:10I reckon that's about right.
21:11That's bang on.
21:12Yeah, I think we're quite good there.
21:14That's straightened up.
21:16Really happy with that.
21:17Like, super happy.
21:18It's actually paid off.
21:20I'm quite relieved now.
21:22I need to relieve myself.
21:23So we're pulling this dent out.
21:33Plan is to put your claw on there,
21:36use the upright as a tensioner
21:37to pull.
21:39Kind of the method of
21:40straightening it out
21:42when you don't have a jig.
21:46Right, shall I get Richard
21:47to just hold the cartridge
21:48in case it slides on the tires.
21:49That wouldn't be a bad show.
21:52Richard Hammond off the TV.
21:54What?
21:55Can we use your assistance, please?
21:57Oh.
21:58I wonder when you'd ask.
22:00Right, this is primitive, isn't it?
22:01Yeah.
22:02This is Mark, the Sandman.
22:03He loves this mini,
22:04and you've got it on the rack.
22:06You ready?
22:07Yeah.
22:07Oh, oh, it's moving.
22:12It is moving.
22:15Slowly, slowly.
22:19That is amazing, actually.
22:22You might have to give this
22:23a bit of a tap from the inside as well.
22:27The original logo for this company
22:29featured the legend
22:30Classic Car Craft.
22:32Well, yeah.
22:35That is not bad, is it?
22:37Wow, yeah.
22:37That's come out really nicely,
22:38to be fair.
22:39Well, I enjoyed that, chaps.
22:40Thank you very much.
22:41I'm going to try to forget
22:42I ever saw it.
22:44Good luck.
22:45Thank you.
22:46Thank you.
22:46Bye.
22:56So, Gleis?
22:56Hey, you're fancy.
22:57Richard sent me a message
22:58earlier about racing.
23:00Yeah, about that.
23:03He wants to go racing,
23:04but he doesn't want to
23:05cost the cog any money, time.
23:07So, he's brought along
23:08Les and Zog
23:09to run this car,
23:11which, probably not
23:12the people I'd pick.
23:14But you know the basics, Les.
23:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:16I've got an idea.
23:17So, what tire pressures
23:18are you going to be running?
23:19About 30.
23:21Basically, when he goes out,
23:22you set him about 27.
23:23Yeah.
23:24When he comes back in,
23:25they should be running about 30.
23:27Hot.
23:27Yeah, okay.
23:28And then, if it's wet,
23:29have we got slicks?
23:30No.
23:31This is all we've got.
23:32We've got no spares.
23:33Anything else?
23:34I mean, Richard did mention
23:35it overheats quite a bit.
23:37We got to a point
23:37where it wasn't too bad.
23:39If it does overheat,
23:40that's a Richard issue.
23:41He's got gauges in there
23:42that tell him if it's overheating,
23:43so we can back off
23:44and treat it.
23:45Right, it flashes in there.
23:47Yeah.
23:48But the biggest thing
23:49you've got to remember, yeah,
23:50this is for Richard's safety
23:51more than anything.
23:52Right.
23:52Okay?
23:53See the fire extinguisher?
23:54Yeah, yeah.
23:55That pin has to be out
23:56every time he goes out.
23:57Right, okay.
23:58Because if he has an accident
23:59and he catches fire,
24:00this time he's got an extinguisher.
24:03I'm not sure what they know
24:04about racing,
24:05so I'm a bit worried
24:05because at the end of the day,
24:07that's my Doris
24:08and I don't want it getting hurt.
24:11Main thing is,
24:12have fun,
24:13enjoy it,
24:14and bring my Doris
24:15back in one piece.
24:16Why are you calling it Doris?
24:18Its name was actually Doris Day
24:19because it only lasted a day.
24:21That's a belting answer.
24:23But no, have great fun, all right?
24:24Good to see you.
24:25Thanks for your time.
24:25I don't think I would have been
24:28Richard's first choice
24:29for race mechanic,
24:30to be fair.
24:31So he's obviously
24:32running out of friends.
24:45Lewis.
24:46Zog Ziegler.
24:47How are you?
24:48Want a good biscuit?
24:49You don't keep this triangle of torsos
24:51by eating biscuits
24:52in the middle of the day.
24:53I mean, OK.
24:54So you're off to Silverstone.
24:55Yes, and I'm going to do your job.
24:58Do you use social media?
24:59Um,
25:00I do have Instagram
25:02because I never make it work.
25:03I put Instagram on
25:05and then I get a film
25:05that I've never...
25:06OK, so you have social media.
25:08If we've gone into search,
25:09the smallest cock,
25:10click on that,
25:11boom,
25:11and then that takes us to your page.
25:12Oh, this is a nightmare, mate.
25:13Donald Trump won't just pop up
25:15like he often does.
25:16Well, he will do, yes,
25:16because that's who you follow.
25:18Does he follow me?
25:18I don't think he's following you,
25:20but you do follow him.
25:21All right.
25:22So all you need to do
25:23is explain what's happening
25:24with the day.
25:24Oh, I don't...
25:25You'll have to turn it round,
25:26don't you?
25:27There's something you can do
25:28to get me on.
25:28Do you know how to use
25:30a camera on your phone?
25:31I used to have a brownie box.
25:33This is going to be a nightmare.
25:34It is.
25:35I warned you.
25:38I will probably
25:38ask some people to help.
25:40I'll find someone
25:41much, much younger
25:41because the danger then
25:43is they think that,
25:44you know,
25:44what's this old man
25:45talking to me for?
25:46Smells of piss and cabbage.
25:49That's what people
25:49smell like, apparently.
25:51Yeah.
25:52I have zero hope.
25:58It's race day
26:04and all I've got to do
26:05is finish today's race
26:07and I'll be just
26:08one step closer
26:09to competing
26:09in the motorsport
26:10Big Dog League.
26:13To get me over the line,
26:14I'll be relying heavily
26:15on my stand-in support team,
26:18Les and Zog.
26:20Tell you what,
26:20half past seven in the morning,
26:22for God's sake.
26:23It's not normal.
26:25As well as boosting
26:26team morale,
26:27Zog's on social media.
26:28And I'm Zog.
26:31I'm director of public...
26:32My hair's a mess.
26:34I'm director of
26:35public relations normally,
26:36but I've been called in
26:39to do the social media things.
26:40You're also helping me
26:41with mechanics.
26:42Oh, good luck with that, mate.
26:44And that ends
26:44the first part
26:45of social media.
26:47Look at you.
26:48Don't you look good, man?
26:49Slightly windswept.
26:50Winswept and interesting.
26:52And Les is holding
26:53the machinery.
26:55You were born to it.
26:56You were absolutely
26:57born to it, Zog.
26:58Now we just need
26:59to upload, don't we?
27:01Right, that's brilliant.
27:02That's our first bit
27:02of social media.
27:04Cheers, Les.
27:04Couldn't do with that.
27:06Right, chaps,
27:07now, the mission
27:08lets us not lose sight of it.
27:10Yes.
27:10The whole point
27:11of this exercise
27:11gets signatures on my licence
27:12so I can race
27:13at the next level.
27:14OK, let's get it warmed up, then.
27:15Get it warmed up.
27:21I have to say,
27:22this coming racing
27:22with a sort of
27:23stripped-out crew
27:23with no real engineers,
27:25just those two idiots,
27:26I'm loving it.
27:28Suppose you're just
27:28having a day out
27:29with your mates.
27:30I couldn't find any.
27:31I bought those two.
27:32I've never been a mechanic.
27:33I've been to lots of motor races.
27:34But you can fiddle.
27:35You can.
27:36Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
27:36I can fiddle.
27:37I don't know what the devil
27:37I'm doing today,
27:38but I'm happy,
27:39so it doesn't matter.
27:39This is our racer.
27:43Hello.
27:44Ready to go
27:44in his wrong pursuit.
27:46Dinky little booties.
27:54Right, little MGB.
27:56Let's both get through today.
27:58Victory will be
27:59getting the signatures
28:00on my licence
28:01that I need
28:01to move up on it.
28:03That's all I've got to do.
28:09So, it's going to be
28:16one more lap
28:17to the start line.
28:18We form up in grid order.
28:25Got our numbers ready,
28:26so.
28:26We know our stuff, mate.
28:30Red lights are on.
28:31Handbrake is off.
28:37What the f***?
28:39I think my clutch
28:40is on the way out.
28:42I had a bad start.
28:44Just get it round.
28:45Remember,
28:46it's all you're after doing.
28:48Here he is.
28:50He's in the game.
28:54Be nice to get past
28:56this other MGB.
28:58I did.
29:02Second from last.
29:04Ah, Mini.
29:04I reckon I could
29:05probably get that.
29:06Yeah.
29:08I'm through.
29:10He's made another place.
29:12Marvellous.
29:13This could be risky.
29:14If he runs wide,
29:15I'm going to go inside him.
29:21One of us
29:21is going to have to concede.
29:25And it's him.
29:27Yeah!
29:29Wait a minute.
29:30Richard,
29:30do not overdrive yourself
29:32and break the car.
29:33I'm just trying
29:34to complete the race.
29:39Oh, s***.
29:41I'm getting hot.
29:43Oh, God.
29:47It's flashing red now.
29:49It's gone over 100.
29:51I think I am
29:52just going to back right off.
29:55It doesn't look very fast.
29:56Oh, it's starting
29:58to smell hot now.
29:59I'm going to kill the car.
30:03You're working yourself
30:04into a lava, Les.
30:05This is stressful.
30:06I know.
30:07I can see.
30:08Six minutes.
30:09So that's like four laps.
30:13Please.
30:14Please make it.
30:16Oh, this is agony.
30:18One more lap.
30:19One more lap after this
30:21and I'll have done it.
30:23That's what we like.
30:30I've done it.
30:31I've done it.
30:36I've done it.
30:37Thank God.
30:38Yay.
30:39Woo!
30:41Never has last place
30:42been celebrated so fine.
30:44Next stop, gin.
30:46Wow.
30:49Gentlemen, thank you.
30:53Ha-ha!
30:54My race team, you're too busy.
30:55Well done.
30:57What a race team.
30:58It was really hard
30:59not to get carried away
31:00and blow the car up,
31:01but if I hadn't finished it,
31:03I wouldn't get the signature
31:04I needed.
31:04So, okay, I nursed it.
31:07I had a great time.
31:08Just what I do.
31:08All right.
31:12Zog?
31:12Yes?
31:13One of the pit boards
31:14that you and Les put out
31:14said cog pint.
31:17Yes, yes.
31:17Can we do that bit?
31:18Yes, please.
31:19Right, we'll pick this up later.
31:20Another mechanical sympathy.
31:22So do.
31:23Thought you'd never ask.
31:34Customer coming in,
31:35Mark,
31:36my sound man
31:37I've worked with
31:38for about 25 years
31:39to get his racing mini
31:40and he's already here.
31:45Hello, mate.
31:46Hello, hello.
31:47I'd like to see customer
31:48working on their own car.
31:49That's good.
31:49It's good, doesn't it?
31:50It looks fantastic.
31:51Are you happy?
31:52Yes, I'm very happy.
31:53Good.
31:53The thing I'm particularly
31:54excited about
31:55is that I tried to bolt
31:56the suspension up
31:57after I crashed it
31:58and it didn't fit
31:58and now it fits.
32:00It's a great sign.
32:01I'm very pleased
32:01because I was involved
32:02in straightening it.
32:03I played it,
32:04as I recall,
32:05pretty pivotal role.
32:06Pivotal.
32:07I heard it was pivotal.
32:08It was.
32:08It was largely down to me.
32:09I'll probably check
32:10that it works.
32:13The other thing
32:13about this car,
32:14of course,
32:14because it's a race car,
32:16how would it be
32:16up against my little MGB?
32:18This would be
32:18a hell of a lot faster,
32:19wouldn't it?
32:20I don't know.
32:21Come testing.
32:22Can we just be quite clear
32:23until I get a lot better?
32:24There is no way
32:25am I going up against you
32:26on a track
32:26because you've done this
32:27a lot and it would
32:28be annoying.
32:29I've done it a bit.
32:30I'll be very rude
32:31if you overtake me.
32:32I can accidentally,
32:34oh no,
32:35I know where to get it fixed.
32:36You could take out
32:36an entire field
32:38of race cars
32:38and have six months
32:40worth of work.
32:43They've done
32:43a really nice job of it
32:44and they've treated it
32:45with love and care,
32:46which is the important thing.
32:47You know,
32:47it's a really special car
32:48to me.
32:49I've known it
32:49a very long time
32:50so I'm really pleased
32:51what they've done.
32:56Today we are packing
33:06ready to go
33:07to the TT
33:08and in 39 years
33:11of motorcycle riding
33:12that's something
33:13I've never done.
33:14I've never made it
33:14to possibly
33:15the most famous
33:16motorcycle race
33:17and one of the longest
33:18running in the world.
33:19But we're not all
33:20going as tourists.
33:21This is work.
33:23We've arranged
33:23a little bit
33:24of a launch event
33:25for Mack motorcycles
33:26but obviously
33:27I'm packing my bike kit
33:29because you can't
33:30ride the TT
33:31and not ride the bike.
33:35The plan is to cross
33:36to the Isle of Man
33:37by sea
33:38after meeting
33:39Ian and Ellis
33:40at the port.
33:52Jamie,
33:53a lot of bikes.
33:54Hell of a lot of bikes.
33:55Yeah.
33:55These are our people.
34:00Aha!
34:01Gentlemen!
34:02Good morning!
34:03You managed to
34:03navigate your way north.
34:04We did!
34:06I am very excited
34:07about this whole mission.
34:13I didn't think
34:14I'd be this many people
34:15to be honest.
34:15Obviously it's big
34:16but it's absolutely crazy.
34:18Let's check in
34:19and let the fun
34:20and serious work
34:21launching your new brand
34:23begin.
34:26To the right, thanks.
34:28To the right.
34:33This is pretty cool.
34:37That's a lot of bikes
34:39and I love being around bikes
34:41and bikers
34:42so I'm having a great day.
34:43Right, so we are at sea
34:55for a little while now.
34:56Yeah.
34:57I think we've organised everything
34:58but let's just go through it.
34:59So, it's at the
35:01Paramount City Cafe.
35:02We've got the bikes.
35:04Journalists have been invited.
35:05We'll get awareness
35:06of the brands,
35:07awareness of your bikes
35:08and have fun.
35:09Yeah.
35:10There's a bit of social bit to do
35:11to just say
35:12we're on our way.
35:13Please come down
35:14to Paradise Cafe.
35:15I won't say that
35:16because it's the wrong place.
35:16You know, we know.
35:17It's Paramount.
35:18Come to Paradise.
35:19Come to Paradise.
35:20That's all you need to say.
35:21I really hope
35:25Lewis' social media expertise
35:26outweighs his attention to detail.
35:28A lot is riding on this.
35:30See what I did?
35:31Go on then.
35:32Right.
35:33I'm on my way
35:34to the legendary
35:34TT motorcycle race
35:36but it's not just the racing
35:37to be excited about.
35:39There is a launch.
35:42What's amazing
35:43is there's thousands
35:45of bikes below deck
35:46but everyone's looking
35:47at my work
35:48saying how good
35:49the paintwork is.
35:50It just makes you proud
35:51to put my name
35:53to them bikes.
36:03What makes
36:04the Isle of Man TT
36:05so famous
36:06isn't just the fact
36:07that it's the oldest
36:07motorcycle race event
36:09in the world.
36:10It's also
36:10the most dangerous
36:12with riders getting up
36:13to speeds of over
36:14200 miles an hour
36:15on a track
36:16consisting entirely
36:17of public roads.
36:18This is motorcycling's
36:22hallowed ground.
36:23Nearly 40,000 bikers
36:25make the annual pilgrimage.
36:26I can't believe we made it.
36:38It looks a bit like
36:39Blackpool, doesn't it?
36:40We're officially launching
36:45the bikes tonight.
36:47Getting the attention
36:47of these diehard
36:49biking aficionados
36:50won't be easy
36:51but Lewis assures me
36:53it's in hand.
36:56I've had a look
36:56on the phone
36:57and we've hit
36:58just nearly
36:59175,000 views
37:01on the little video
37:02that Hammond did
37:02on the ferry
37:03spreading the word
37:04about our event
37:05this evening.
37:09Now I was doing
37:10some schmoozing
37:11last night
37:12and Satiti
37:13have said
37:14that we can
37:15lead
37:17the legacy lap.
37:18So these four
37:19are going to lead
37:20the 1,000 motorbikes
37:22around the full
37:2337.5 mile track.
37:25Really?
37:26Yeah.
37:26Never.
37:27That's quite a cool launch.
37:28Just say that again.
37:30We're going to be
37:30at the front.
37:31We're going to be
37:31at the front
37:32showing off the bikes.
37:33Cool.
37:33I don't know
37:35the way.
37:43I'm lucky
37:43I have done
37:44a lot of stuff.
37:45I've never done
37:45this.
37:46I mean you can
37:47actually feel
37:48the ground shaking.
37:50That's bent
37:51on her.
37:52I'm going to stall
37:53and then the whole
37:54thing.
37:55Everyone on their
37:56sides.
37:57Soz.
37:58Oh movement
37:59is happening.
38:00Literally
38:01we're off.
38:03Oh that is
38:09incredible.
38:10Yes man.
38:12Sometimes the
38:13queue behind
38:13is eight miles.
38:14I know it's nuts.
38:15It's just
38:15forever.
38:16Absolutely.
38:17It's incredible.
38:18Miles and miles
38:19of bikes.
38:20Every possible
38:21type you can
38:22imagine.
38:22Is this the circuit?
38:27This is the course.
38:28But it's stone walls.
38:31And they pull like
38:32a hundred and whatever
38:33along here.
38:33An average of over
38:34130 miles an hour.
38:36It's insanity.
38:38This mad hole covers.
38:40Oh my God.
38:41That's tight.
38:42Imagine that.
38:43Oh I've got it wrong.
38:44I've hit a church.
38:50They're actually
38:51waiting to cross
38:52the road.
38:54Did I see the sign
38:55for 19 miles
38:56back there?
38:57Oh I don't know.
38:58Which means we're
38:59only halfway.
39:00I need a wee
39:00already.
39:01Me too.
39:02So now we're
39:06going to go out
39:06up into the mountain.
39:08Looks a bit misty
39:09up there.
39:10It must feel
39:11suddenly very lonely
39:12when you're racing.
39:13It's all busy
39:13and then suddenly
39:14big speeds
39:15coming up.
39:23The Legacy Lap
39:24pays homage
39:25to the incredible
39:26bravery of the riders
39:27who put their lives
39:28on the line
39:29to race at the TT.
39:32I could get
39:40a little bit
39:40emotional about this.
39:42I'm a biker.
39:42I have been
39:43all my life.
39:44And look at this.
39:45We're coming down
39:46now to Balacrane
39:47which is a really
39:48famous turn.
39:49Wow.
39:51Right now
39:51it's quite graceful
39:52and flowing.
39:53What it must be like
39:54at race pace
39:55I cannot imagine.
40:00I think we need
40:01to do more bikes
40:01at the smallest cog.
40:03It's a fact.
40:09So the lads
40:10are on their way
40:11down from the circuit.
40:12We're here
40:12at the Paramount
40:13City Cafe.
40:14Here we come
40:15I can see Jamie's
40:16flashing beacons
40:17leading the pack.
40:18It's like the red arrows.
40:19How's it feel
40:27having your bike
40:27running up and down
40:28at the TT then?
40:29This is the most
40:30extraordinary sensation.
40:32It really is.
40:32It's cool isn't it?
40:3336 or whatever years ago
40:35working in your dad's
40:36antique pine place
40:37to here.
40:38I'm speechless.
40:39Absolutely speechless.
40:40Absolutely speechless.
40:48Respect duly paid
40:50time for business.
40:53We all look lovely
40:54we're fresh and ready
40:55but what's the plan
40:56of action?
40:57You've got a plan
40:57for if we get
40:58five or 50 people.
41:01Yes we do.
41:01Yeah yeah.
41:02The power of social media
41:03something tells me
41:03it's going to be
41:04quite busy.
41:09Feeling good.
41:10All my paintwork's
41:11on display
41:12which is really nice
41:13for the guys to see.
41:14Bike's looking amazing.
41:16There's a lot of people
41:16coming in now
41:18but they're actually
41:18stopping people at the door
41:19so it's getting really
41:20really busy
41:20so it's quite good.
41:22Lewis
41:23try not to run over
41:24any of the attendees
41:25with the bike
41:26they've come to see
41:27launched.
41:28It's an amazing turn out.
41:29I can't believe
41:29there are people
41:30queuing outside
41:30standing room only.
41:32Why don't we hide?
41:35Ladies and gentlemen
41:35welcome to the
41:36Paramount City
41:37Coffee House
41:37for the official
41:38launch of
41:39Mack Motorcycles.
41:40That's for coming.
41:41Thank you.
41:44This is their launch
41:45and I want it to work
41:46for them
41:47because he's an old mate
41:47also for the
41:48smallest cog
41:49let's be honest.
41:50We're all here
41:51because I'm guessing
41:53we all love bikes
41:54but few of us
41:55love bikes enough
41:56to set up
41:57our own mark
41:58but there are
41:59two guys here
42:00who did.
42:01This is great.
42:02I mean this is great
42:03for our socials.
42:04I mean videos
42:05are just going to pop off
42:06online.
42:07Setting up any kind of
42:08mark
42:09sounds like utter
42:10insanity.
42:11Such a reaction.
42:12A couple of hundred
42:13people here
42:13probably more.
42:14Everyone giving us
42:15great compliments
42:16about the bike.
42:17Thank you so much
42:17for coming along
42:18to see us.
42:18Enjoy the rest
42:19of the races
42:20and that's a comment.
42:21Thank you.
42:23How did that go?
42:24Just a massively
42:25positive reaction
42:26to the bike.
42:27Yeah.
42:27To the paintwork
42:28the style
42:29people loved it.
42:30Pretty spectacular
42:31what you've done.
42:32Yeah yeah
42:32we could literally
42:33paint any colour
42:34we wanted
42:34to whatever designs
42:35we wanted.
42:37Out of this
42:37I think we're
42:39going to get
42:39a lot more work.
42:41So tell us about
42:41this bike then.
42:42So this one
42:42is set up
42:44as a cafe racer
42:45and I think
42:46seeing people
42:46love the bike
42:48say how different
42:49it is
42:49we never thought
42:51that it would
42:51be this good.
42:53People are
42:53looking at the bikes
42:54and really
42:55it's down to
42:55those two now
42:56it's their business
42:57it's their creation
42:58and also
42:59you know
43:00how fabulous
43:00the paintwork
43:01is obviously
43:01because if you're
43:02a specialist
43:02in painting vehicles
43:04and you get to
43:05design the look
43:05of a brand new
43:06vehicle
43:07that's kind of
43:08cool.
43:08Yeah and the better
43:09they do
43:09the better the
43:09smallest Cog does
43:10it's kind of
43:11a win-win-win-win.
43:13Right
43:13time to inspect
43:15the newbies.
43:16Chaps
43:16you're starting
43:17on the condor
43:18yeah?
43:18I assume there's
43:19a comprehensive
43:20workshop manual.
43:21No there is nothing.
43:22This is the vet
43:22come to tell me
43:23if my old pet's
43:24adding.
43:24We're down to
43:25three mil on the
43:26bottom.
43:26Where's it gone?
43:27Just wore away.
43:28I have to do
43:29a day's marshalling.
43:30I'm on the flag
43:31so you go that side.
43:32I want to do the flag.
43:34I have control
43:35of the situation
43:35and I can keep it
43:36up as long as I need
43:37to.
43:37Really?
43:42I have control
43:43of the
43:57others.
43:58Gracias por ver el video.
