00:01:10Thank you so much
00:01:15Thank you everybody
00:01:16Thank you
00:01:17And welcome
00:01:19And in this edition of our car show...
00:01:23Richard steals some sun cream.
00:01:27I drink some wine.
00:01:35And James says 40.
00:01:3740.
00:01:43All that...
00:01:44All that is to come.
00:01:47But we begin with Jaguar.
00:01:50Now, us three, we love Jags because they're so roguish.
00:01:54You can take a girl out for dinner if you have a Jag and then she will pay.
00:01:58You can go and stay with people for the weekend,
00:02:01help yourself to all their belongings.
00:02:03And no one will mind because you have a Jag.
00:02:08In fact, people expect it.
00:02:10You have somebody to stay at your house who owns a Jag,
00:02:13you've got to accept you're going to lose some paintings.
00:02:15Yeah, and some colouring.
00:02:16The thing is though, okay, even though a Jaguar is an international get-out-of-jail-free card,
00:02:22very few people actually ever buy one.
00:02:25I mean, who here has got a Jag?
00:02:26One, two...
00:02:27Only three people in Britain...
00:02:30..by Jaguars.
00:02:32It's astonishing.
00:02:33Yeah, I've actually got the sales figures here and they are pretty tragic
00:02:36because in the five years up to 2016, Jaguar sold 200,000 cars worldwide
00:02:43and in the same period, Audi, Mercedes and even BMW each sold over 8 million.
00:02:51Yeah.
00:02:51It's a staggering statistic, it really is.
00:02:53And we were talking about this in the office the other day
00:02:55and Mr Wilman said people don't buy Jags because they used to break down.
00:03:00Yeah, but that's just not true.
00:03:01And we decided to prove this by taking the Grand Tour this week to Colorado.
00:03:26The car I've chosen is, I think, the best car Jaguar ever made.
00:03:31The V8 supercharged XJR.
00:03:35It's cool without being Cool Britannia.
00:03:39It's caddish without being laddish.
00:03:41It's violent without being vicious.
00:03:45And it is just the last word in sophistication.
00:03:50Hannibal Lecter had one and I think that says it all
00:03:52because the last we saw of him, he was on a plane, scot-free,
00:03:57eating a district attorney's head.
00:04:01Soon I reached the meeting point where I found James,
00:04:05who'd bought an XK8 convertible.
00:04:08There we are, look.
00:04:10A big cat near an old dog.
00:04:26Greetings, mate.
00:04:28Moron.
00:04:29It's not a Subaru.
00:04:31You're supposed to be upholding the reputation of the Jag driver.
00:04:34Why have you bought that?
00:04:35Because it's excellent.
00:04:36It isn't.
00:04:37It is.
00:04:38No, this was a very poor Jaguar.
00:04:39No, this was a very good Jaguar.
00:04:40It wasn't.
00:04:41You could go camping in the wheel arches of it, but it was so high up.
00:04:44They looked alright when they were supercharged and lower, but this is...
00:04:47No, but they didn't work properly when they were supercharged and lower
00:04:49because they had a terrible ride.
00:04:51The one thing you get from a Jag is a nice ride.
00:04:54You're disconnected from the world.
00:04:55That's the point.
00:04:56Anyway.
00:04:56And those wheels...
00:04:57What's the matter?
00:04:58There's no anyway about it.
00:04:59That's the best Jag probably ever made.
00:05:02Hmm.
00:05:02Well, it is.
00:05:03No.
00:05:04Tell me, what's wrong with that?
00:05:06One of the wheels is odd.
00:05:11Yes, ah.
00:05:13Well, I know exactly what's happened here.
00:05:15Uh-huh.
00:05:15Previous owners had a puncture.
00:05:17He simply borrowed a wheel from another car to use.
00:05:22And he's gonna give it back?
00:05:23Of course he is.
00:05:24Yeah.
00:05:24Because he drives a Jag.
00:05:26Exactly.
00:05:27And look in here.
00:05:28It looks as if there's been a knife fight in the car.
00:05:31That's because he went to stay with some friends, obviously.
00:05:34Thought, I'll borrow their cutlery.
00:05:36Hmm.
00:05:37Tucked it into his trousers and then he's cut his seat.
00:05:39That's what's happened.
00:05:41At this point, Mr. Hammond hoved into view.
00:05:46God, is that a Mark 10?
00:05:48That is a Mark 10.
00:05:49That's a...
00:05:49That's a properly villainous Jag.
00:05:51That is a proper Jag.
00:05:53Jag.
00:05:54Yes.
00:05:55Whatever you do, okay, do not tell him this.
00:05:58No, no.
00:05:59Hammond, you idiot.
00:06:01What?
00:06:01Well, we're supposed to be upholding the reputation of Jaguar.
00:06:04You've...
00:06:04You've brought an antique...
00:06:05You've brought an old piece of furniture.
00:06:07I am celebrating and revelling in the glories of Jaguar.
00:06:11This is 1967 420G.
00:06:14This is...
00:06:15This is...
00:06:15Look at the...
00:06:16This front end started with this car.
00:06:17That's the Jaguar look, isn't it?
00:06:19The four headlamps, the narrow...
00:06:20No, but Hammond, seriously.
00:06:21What is that?
00:06:23It's a 420G.
00:06:24This was the...
00:06:25No, no, not that.
00:06:26That.
00:06:27This.
00:06:28That's my jacket.
00:06:29I thought, you know, a bit of style or in Jaguars.
00:06:32There's no style in your jacket at all.
00:06:34It's just riddled with style, mate.
00:06:35That is...
00:06:35Some of your jackets are terrible, but I can't...
00:06:38Anyway, this was favoured by every villainous bank robber and baddie in and around England
00:06:42in the 60s.
00:06:43And how much did you pay for it?
00:06:44Six and a half thousand pounds.
00:06:46What?
00:06:46I know.
00:06:47That is a lot of car for six and a half grand.
00:06:49Look at the size of it.
00:06:50Hammond, that is one thousand...
00:06:52No, wait.
00:06:53Two thousand five hundred pounds more than I paid for a supercharged Jaguar.
00:06:58That is Jaguar's embarrassing attempt to recapture their own design that started with
00:07:02this, the four headlamps, the narrow grille.
00:07:04This is definitive.
00:07:05Your car is derivative.
00:07:07And Hammond wasn't finished there.
00:07:10Look at the size of this.
00:07:11Imagine how many oil paintings borrowed I could get in there.
00:07:15It smells terrible.
00:07:17Toolkit.
00:07:17Let me have a look.
00:07:18That's for opening windows.
00:07:21That's his name.
00:07:22And not necessarily for fixing the car.
00:07:25None of them.
00:07:26That's for cutting through somebody's fence.
00:07:28This is for undoing the paintings from the walls.
00:07:32All the Jaguar toolkit is just for minding it.
00:07:35It's got Jemmy in it.
00:07:46At this point, we set off into the heart of Colorado.
00:07:51Even...
00:07:54Now, it is telling me here that the traction control has failed, the stability control has
00:07:59failed, and that the anti-lock brakes have failed.
00:08:02And that's brilliant, because Jaguar obviously realised when they made this car that drifting
00:08:07would one day become very popular, and that driver aids like this would be unwelcome and
00:08:13unnecessary.
00:08:14So they were designed to brake, and they have done.
00:08:22This particular 420G is from 1967.
00:08:26Quite well equipped.
00:08:27This row of toggle switches here on the dash.
00:08:30Six of them.
00:08:32Wiper.
00:08:33Look at that.
00:08:34Look at...
00:08:35Oh.
00:08:37Yeah.
00:08:38That's the wipers there.
00:08:40And then this is...
00:08:41They won't turn off.
00:08:42Now, this is the fan.
00:08:44That doesn't do anything at the moment.
00:08:46These are features.
00:08:48This is character that has evolved over the years.
00:08:51These are the beauty spots, or the slight squint to one eye that makes a person beautiful.
00:08:57If anything...
00:08:58If anything...
00:08:59If anything...
00:08:59Oh.
00:08:59The glove box has come open.
00:09:01I'll close that.
00:09:05It's done it again.
00:09:11Normally I'd say at this point, now we're alone viewers, let me talk you through a couple
00:09:14of things that aren't right with my car, but I'm afraid I can't do that, because everything
00:09:18in here works perfectly.
00:09:20There is, if you look in the left-hand dial, which is the rev counter, there's an engine
00:09:24warning light on, to remind me that the engine warning light works, and that it's there.
00:09:31And when you brake, like that, the brake pedal judders for you so that you know you're
00:09:37braking.
00:09:40I mean, that's brilliant, why doesn't everybody do that?
00:09:45I will give Hammond's car one thing.
00:09:47It does give good rear view mirror.
00:09:50It looks villainous.
00:09:53The Cray twins actually had 420s, just like Hammond's Jag.
00:09:58And if you're watching this in America and you don't know who the Crays are, they're the reason
00:10:01the Mafia never got to London.
00:10:04They were too scared of the Crays.
00:10:08Some incredibly strong smells in this car.
00:10:11There's a sort of gluey, resin-y smell.
00:10:14And burning.
00:10:17Yeah.
00:10:18Burning.
00:10:22It's having a smoke.
00:10:24It's from the 60s.
00:10:25Everybody smoked in the 60s.
00:10:26It would smoke.
00:10:27It's a jag.
00:10:28You have a smoke, mate.
00:10:30What a place to pick.
00:10:30It's seen this nice view that I'll have a pipe and contemplate it.
00:10:34Like a red native.
00:10:35No, what was it called?
00:10:36Made to American?
00:10:37Yes, that.
00:10:40Once Hammond's car had finished its smoke, we resumed our fuss-free journey.
00:10:45And I got my foot down.
00:10:51It's still got tons of poke.
00:10:53Look at that.
00:10:54Which went well.
00:10:59It's just not changing gear.
00:11:01It's...
00:11:02It's neutral.
00:11:04Right, now it's in, I think, second.
00:11:06Jeremy, why are we going so slowly?
00:11:09I'll tell you exactly why.
00:11:11Because the only German part in here, the Mercedes gearbox, has gone wrong.
00:11:17That was a sad lapse of judgement on Jaguars Park.
00:11:19Any idiot knows you don't put German bits in a car.
00:11:23Manually changing gear.
00:11:24What exactly is wrong with it?
00:11:26It's selecting a gear for the moment and then just sticking with it.
00:11:31I can't wait for it to choose reverse.
00:11:36This problem with shoddy German engineering couldn't have come at a worse time.
00:11:42Because we were now arriving at the location for Mr. Wilman's first challenge.
00:11:47And I'd have to fix things sharpish.
00:11:51Now look.
00:11:53Now look what?
00:11:54I am.
00:11:55Don't let us distract you, Professor.
00:11:56Doctor.
00:11:57Listen, I have worked this out all by my own.
00:12:00The gearbox is overheated, okay?
00:12:03So I'm going to put some fluid in it.
00:12:04How much do you need to put in?
00:12:07I don't know, how much do you need to put in?
00:12:08Just put enough in.
00:12:10Yeah, put some in.
00:12:11Go on.
00:12:14It's like watching a really, really old drunk pour himself a scotch.
00:12:20Just another one.
00:12:22That concentration phase is coming out, there it is.
00:12:25Good to see a man operating at his absolute limit.
00:12:29When the problem solved, it was time to get cracking.
00:12:44We'd be competing against one another here at an off-road course which Mr. Wilman was convinced would break our
00:12:51ancient Jaguars into a thousand pieces.
00:12:58However, James had worked out a way to prove him wrong.
00:13:03Okay, are you ready?
00:13:04In, three, two, one, go!
00:13:09It's a long car, it takes a long time to go past.
00:13:12That's what it is.
00:13:14I better brake for this left-hander.
00:13:16Change down.
00:13:17A little cold streak.
00:13:20And approaching the jump.
00:13:22You may get air here.
00:13:26There you go.
00:13:27Know this, if you're turning over now to watch Man in a High Castle or something of that nature, James
00:13:32is gonna finish this course.
00:13:33Which, eventually, he did.
00:13:37And there he is!
00:13:38There he is!
00:13:39Cross the line!
00:13:41Yeah.
00:13:42James and May, you just set a lap record.
00:13:45Yes!
00:13:47The fastest ever lap in a Jaguar XK8 around this track.
00:13:53As you can see, the perfect track day car.
00:13:56This Jaguar has done a lap of this very demanding race circuit, and it's perfect.
00:14:02Next up was me, in the tight fit XJR.
00:14:07He's quite snug in here.
00:14:09No, look, really.
00:14:10There is a problem there, yeah.
00:14:12If I hit the top of your head really hard...
00:14:16That's what that's for!
00:14:17It's a helmet hatch.
00:14:19It's a helmet hatch, yeah.
00:14:19That's what it is.
00:14:20You'll almost certainly be killed, though.
00:14:22Yeah, you know when they take the top off a boiled egg?
00:14:25You do the count, then.
00:14:26In...
00:14:273...
00:14:282...
00:14:291...
00:14:29Go!
00:14:32Yep, there's some dust.
00:14:34And there we are.
00:14:36I have unleashed 385 horsepower.
00:14:41And I would now demonstrate that this 17-year-old car had lost none of that horsepower.
00:14:49Or any of its razor-sharp handling.
00:14:53Oh, yeah.
00:14:54I just feel the tail going nicely.
00:14:57Oh, bollocks.
00:14:58Bet they didn't.
00:14:59They may have slightly got that wrong, but we can edit that out and...
00:15:03Cut to this and it looks good.
00:15:05Oh, my God.
00:15:06He's all over the place.
00:15:07Look at that.
00:15:09What you're watching here is liquid poetry.
00:15:12And flick it in.
00:15:15He's completely messed it up.
00:15:16Yeah, he's just...
00:15:17What is he doing?
00:15:20I've had a spin there.
00:15:21A slight spin has gone.
00:15:23I'm blind as a bat now.
00:15:25That's added to his time quite a lot.
00:15:27There we go. Speed up again now.
00:15:30And...
00:15:31You ready?
00:15:33Across the line.
00:15:39154.
00:15:40But the important thing is, that is a lap record for the XJR, and it's still working.
00:15:49Finally, it was the turn of Ronnie and Reggie Hammond.
00:15:53Here we go.
00:15:54In three, two, one...
00:15:56Go!
00:15:57Six!
00:15:58Because Hammond's 50-year-old Jag was a senior citizen, we hoped he'd take it easy.
00:16:06However...
00:16:06Let's do this properly!
00:16:07Come on!
00:16:10Oh, his boot's covered.
00:16:12He hasn't really got the point of this from the start, has he?
00:16:15No, he hasn't.
00:16:17You've got a bit more than that.
00:16:18You've got more. I know you have.
00:16:20You've got more to give me.
00:16:21Give me more!
00:16:25Oh, no, look.
00:16:27Tons of black smoke.
00:16:29Yeah!
00:16:30Yeah!
00:16:31Come on!
00:16:46Back at the finish line, my colleagues were not impressed with me.
00:16:51There's oil everywhere, and coolant.
00:16:53All you had to do was go around pretending it was a bit dramatic.
00:16:57Exactly.
00:16:57And proving that a Jaguar worked properly and was durable.
00:16:59They just simply, I gave it a bit of the beans in the corner, a bit of a tail out.
00:17:03This is like a Homer fool, they think I was trying my hardest.
00:17:05I pulled the face, I went, like that.
00:17:07What did you do?
00:17:08Look at the back of your car.
00:17:12Smash through a window.
00:17:13Boot lid.
00:17:14No other words.
00:17:15Off.
00:17:17Does it actually start?
00:17:27I think he just threw a rod.
00:17:29And it's all fixable.
00:17:30What was that?
00:17:32What was that galang noise?
00:17:34It could be a rod going through the side of the wall.
00:17:38I can fix this.
00:17:40And sure enough, I would have bet my left ear that Hammond would never be able to get that Jag
00:17:48going.
00:17:48And yet, he has.
00:17:52Turns out the actual damage was nowhere near as bad as we thought.
00:17:57All had to do.
00:17:59Straighten the boot lid, top up the water in the radiator.
00:18:01That did need doing.
00:18:02That was it.
00:18:06Yep.
00:18:08Never noticed the sunroof before.
00:18:10That's good.
00:18:11So there we are.
00:18:12Proof.
00:18:12You can go off-road racing with three Jaguars and all of them will survive.
00:18:21Well, it is just good that we're back as a three, with the three cars running well.
00:18:26MUSIC PLAYS
00:18:48I can't believe, I simply cannot believe how robust those Jags were.
00:18:53Oh, I can.
00:18:54They are tremendously well-made cars.
00:18:56They really are.
00:18:57Swiss watchmakers.
00:18:58They gasp sometimes when they look at an old Jag and go,
00:19:01I cannot believe how much perfection there is in them.
00:19:04Exactly.
00:19:05And we will come back to that later on.
00:19:06But right now, it's time to slide across an icy puddle of chat on Conversation Street.
00:19:21Right now, we begin with this.
00:19:23You know the fire brigade these days have been issued with those big hydraulic poultry shears.
00:19:29Yeah, you mean the jaws of life.
00:19:30What are they called?
00:19:31Thing is though, if you give a man a tool like that, he is going to use it all the
00:19:36time.
00:19:37Which means whenever the fire brigade now turn up, even the most minor car accident,
00:19:41out they come to cut the car's roof off.
00:19:43Yep, they do.
00:19:43Are there any firemen here?
00:19:45No, because they're too busy out there cutting people's roof off.
00:19:48There are loads of them out there.
00:19:49No, it is getting out of hand.
00:19:50There was a story recently.
00:19:52Somebody had a pretty much brand new Range Rover Sport.
00:19:54It had done 400 miles.
00:19:56They had a bit of a shunt.
00:19:57I think we've got a picture of it there.
00:19:58It's broken a headlamp.
00:19:59But that's about it.
00:20:01Fire brigade come along and immediately cut the roof off.
00:20:04There you go.
00:20:05That's made everything worse, hasn't it?
00:20:07I can actually beat that, OK?
00:20:09A couple of years ago, there was this woman driving along.
00:20:10There had been a minor accident.
00:20:12She wasn't involved.
00:20:12But the people who were involved were standing around.
00:20:15She said, do you want to sit down in the back of my car?
00:20:17Fire brigade turned up, cut the roof off her car.
00:20:23So that hadn't been in the crash?
00:20:25They got in through the doors of fire brigade and said, well, cut the roof off.
00:20:27Easier to get you out.
00:20:29The doors are working.
00:20:30She was being a good Samaritan and that's what she got.
00:20:32Yep.
00:20:33Do you know they actually did this to the police?
00:20:36Who, the fire brigade?
00:20:37Yeah.
00:20:37The police turned up at the scene of an accident, a very minor one.
00:20:40The people were unhurt.
00:20:41They got out of the car, but it was raining.
00:20:42They said, would you like to rest in a police car?
00:20:46The fire brigade turned up and cut the roof off the police car.
00:20:50That's going to escalate.
00:20:51It is going to escalate.
00:20:52I think what happened later on was the police went in their convertible
00:20:55police car round to the fire station and they blew up the fire engine
00:20:58in a controlled explosion.
00:21:00That's where it's going to go.
00:21:01I was actually quite worried.
00:21:03I curbed the wheel on my car the other day.
00:21:05And I thought, oh no, I hope the fire brigade didn't see me do that.
00:21:07They'll cut the roof off.
00:21:08Actually, they wouldn't cut the roof off your car because that's only a golf.
00:21:11What they like to do is cut the roof off a Porsche.
00:21:14No, exactly.
00:21:15Because that's more exciting.
00:21:16When you go to the pub at night, you've got to cut the roof off a Porsche tonight.
00:21:18It's better than a cut the roof off a golf or a Hyundai.
00:21:20It's a better story.
00:21:20Exactly.
00:21:21And I know why they're doing it.
00:21:22To be brutally honest, they're doing it because they can.
00:21:25They should take a lesson from the Queen.
00:21:27She's been the Queen now for what, 65 years?
00:21:30Now, she has the constitutional right and power.
00:21:39Really?
00:21:40This is actually their deflating to do this.
00:21:43This bit better go in because that's going to be un-f***ing editable.
00:21:47They should take a lesson from the Queen.
00:21:49She's been in power now, what, 65 years?
00:21:51Listen, she has the constitutional right to declare war on another country.
00:21:56Okay?
00:21:56She can do that.
00:21:57And she never has.
00:21:58I mean, how long would you last before you declared war if you had the ability to do it?
00:22:01I'd give it two days.
00:22:02Exactly.
00:22:03I have declared war on France.
00:22:06That's what I'm doing.
00:22:07But you would if you could.
00:22:08That's the problem.
00:22:09That's why they do it.
00:22:10I actually sympathise with the fire brigade.
00:22:11Because I bought a chainsaw the other day.
00:22:13Oh, my God.
00:22:14No, I didn't.
00:22:14Are you sure?
00:22:15Yes, but when you've got a chainsaw, you use it for everything.
00:22:18I was thinking, oh, I've got to carve the Sunday joint.
00:22:20I'll get the chainsaw.
00:22:21Opening a letter.
00:22:22Get the chainsaw.
00:22:23Brad, use the chainsaw.
00:22:25Your eyebrows could do with a bit of a trick.
00:22:28As soon as the show's over, they're coming off with a chainsaw.
00:22:31But I know what you mean.
00:22:31You've got it, so you use it.
00:22:33Exactly.
00:22:33And they've got, what's it called, Jaws of Life.
00:22:35They're going to use it.
00:22:36And they are doing.
00:22:37Yeah, and we've got an important message, actually, for all firemen and firemen women.
00:22:41Stop cutting the roots.
00:22:48I think that's right.
00:22:49I think that's right, mate.
00:22:50Carry on.
00:22:50It's equal opportunity.
00:22:52What's the matter with you?
00:22:53It's a modern world.
00:22:54Stop cutting the roofs off our cars, or we'll come round and cut the roof off your painting and decorating
00:22:59van.
00:23:01Right, that's covered the fire brigade.
00:23:03Yep.
00:23:04Hope we don't need them any time soon.
00:23:05Yep, so do I, because we're going to be trapped in a car.
00:23:08Yeah.
00:23:08Now, Aston Martin's launched this.
00:23:10It's the new Vantage.
00:23:12That looks great, doesn't it?
00:23:13It does look good, though.
00:23:15That actually looks like the one-off Aston they made for the Bond film.
00:23:18Oh, from the back, especially.
00:23:20We've got a picture of it from the back.
00:23:21Yes.
00:23:22I mean, that is just a spectacular looking thing.
00:23:24And it's been fitted with the twin turbocharged four-litre V8 from Mercedes.
00:23:29Ooh.
00:23:29You know, the AMG engine.
00:23:31And that is brilliant.
00:23:32It's the work, actually, of the man with the best name in the motor industry.
00:23:36No, the second best name.
00:23:37The man with the best name is Lamborghini's chief test driver.
00:23:40He's called Max Venturi.
00:23:42Yeah.
00:23:42He's never had sex.
00:23:44No, no, no.
00:23:45He's young and good-looking as well.
00:23:46Yes, I know.
00:23:47Anyway, the guy at Aston, their technical officer, is called Max Szzzzwadge.
00:23:52What?
00:23:54Max Szzzzwadge.
00:23:55Szzzzwadge.
00:24:09Szzzzwadge.
00:24:10He's called Max Szzzzwadge.
00:24:11He's called Max Szzzzwadge.
00:24:12Anyway, we'll gloss over your...
00:24:14I'm not.
00:24:15I'm not.
00:24:16That is...
00:24:17It's embarrassing.
00:24:18They've also...
00:24:18He, I should say, Max Szzzzwadge, has also put the Mercedes engine in the DB11.
00:24:24And I love that engine and I love that car.
00:24:26That's going to be one hell of a combination.
00:24:28That could be amazing, couldn't it?
00:24:30How much is it going to be?
00:24:31Well, weirdly, not much less than the V12, actually.
00:24:35But I think that the V8 will be better because the engine will be lighter.
00:24:37Yeah.
00:24:38So what you're saying, in fact, is smaller is better.
00:24:42LAUGHTER
00:24:45No.
00:24:46Er...
00:24:46LAUGHTER
00:24:48You know Chinese companies like to give themselves Western names, OK?
00:24:53Yeah, I know what you mean.
00:24:53Yeah.
00:24:54Well, there's a Chinese spare part company, they do breaks and what have you,
00:24:58that's called...
00:25:00Erm...
00:25:00This.
00:25:03LAUGHTER
00:25:04Well!
00:25:05Well, it's...
00:25:06Who it is?
00:25:07Well, it's memorable, isn't it?
00:25:09It is memorable.
00:25:09The thing is though, if you type that into Google...
00:25:11Oh, don't.
00:25:13LAUGHTER
00:25:14You've really got some strong images for 27 pages before you get to your break list.
00:25:19Sitting there an hour later with eyes like that.
00:25:22Only one day should break pads and now I've seen things I can't unsee.
00:25:25I don't know.
00:25:26What were you looking for when you came across...
00:25:29Oh!
00:25:30LAUGHTER
00:25:30What had you put in?
00:25:31Had you been through all 27,000 pages to get to that one?
00:25:34I was just looking at...
00:25:35Oh!
00:25:37LAUGHTER
00:25:38And that is the end of this week's Conversation Street.
00:25:42APPLAUSE
00:25:46And now it's time to get back to our film in which we're proving that Jaguar's reputation for unreliability is
00:25:54completely unfounded.
00:25:56Yes, we pick up the action at a hotel where, because we're driving Jags, we'd spent the night in rooms
00:26:02that were as far away as possible from the reception desk and its pesky checking out requirements.
00:26:11The next morning we were up, way before the hotel staff, to get back on the road.
00:26:33Morning.
00:26:34Morning.
00:26:35What's the tools?
00:26:36Ah, well, they had this sign that explained how environmentally damaging and expensive it is to wash them, so I've
00:26:42saved him the trouble.
00:26:44That's good too.
00:26:44He's kind.
00:26:45That is.
00:26:53Because we'd had such an early start, we decided after a little while to pull over and admire some of
00:27:00the beautiful rock formations.
00:27:03Do you see the sandstone has been eroded by time, wind, and the pressure of water seeping through it.
00:27:14It's baffling, isn't it, how a simple stream can have carved such an extraordinary gorge.
00:27:23I don't think there's any point continuing to do that.
00:27:26I think you're going to just melt the starter motor.
00:27:29Well, no.
00:27:29It's a heck of a battery though, isn't it?
00:27:33How have you managed to break it so quickly?
00:27:35I mean, literally.
00:27:36You've had it five minutes.
00:27:37We left the hotel 40 minutes ago.
00:27:39It's something I've done.
00:27:40It's something I've done.
00:27:40It's certainly not the car.
00:27:41Look at those cross braces.
00:27:43Mmm.
00:27:43I fitted those as well that it didn't have before.
00:27:48Because the problem was bound to be minor, James and I left Richard to it and continued onwards to our
00:27:56next destination.
00:28:03This is one hell of a road.
00:28:06Surface is good.
00:28:07Scenery is fantastic.
00:28:09No traffic.
00:28:11These were ideal conditions for a Jag like mine.
00:28:16One of the things I absolutely love about the XJR is the way the faster you go, the more it
00:28:23starts to sort of float.
00:28:26It's like you're sort of powder skiing.
00:28:31It actually encourages you to go faster because you're so relaxed.
00:28:37And this, let's not forget, is a 155 mile an hour machine.
00:28:430 to 60, five and a half seconds.
00:28:45It's quick even by today's standards.
00:28:52Right, problem is fuel pump not working and that's because there is no power to it.
00:28:57But the really clever thing about a Jag is you get lots of spare stuff that you can use when
00:29:01a problem arises, should it, which is very unlikely.
00:29:04In this instance, I've disconnected this, which powers the electric aerial.
00:29:08That has got power.
00:29:09Obviously, I can do without the electric aerial.
00:29:11I didn't want to use it anyway.
00:29:12Hook this up to the fuel pump.
00:29:13Job done.
00:29:14We're away.
00:29:17Sure enough, he was soon back on the move.
00:29:22I love this thing.
00:29:24It's a beautiful little car.
00:29:28Unlike me.
00:29:31Not that this is much of an issue for someone who's driving a Jag.
00:29:36Yes, Constable.
00:29:37However, if I could draw your attention to the first page of my passport here.
00:29:42Her Britannic Majesty, that's the Queen, requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty all those whom it may
00:29:51concern to allow the bearer, that's me, to pass freely without let or hindrance.
00:30:04Did you get away with that?
00:30:06Yeah, I just hit him with the passport thing.
00:30:09Very good, yes.
00:30:11Honestly, it works every time.
00:30:13Never fails in America, that.
00:30:16I also told the officer I was travelling with Mrs. May, the British Prime Minister.
00:30:23And he believed me.
00:30:26Meanwhile, quite a few miles further back.
00:30:36That's just having a rest.
00:30:41Oh, it's a Brit and it's overheated.
00:30:45No, no, it's fine.
00:30:48Do you know why the English like warm beer?
00:30:52Because Lucas makes refrigerators too.
00:30:56Good.
00:30:57Thank you so much.
00:30:59Yeah, you bet.
00:31:04Oh, this isn't helping our case.
00:31:11Higher in the sky, James and I had arrived at the location for our next challenge.
00:31:18A runway.
00:31:20And once our colleague had arrived, I explained what Mr. Willman had planned.
00:31:26We're going to go from here, one at a time, 0 to 100, and then back to 0 again.
00:31:33And you've got to stop before the end of the runway.
00:31:35And you really do have to stop, because this airport has a slightly unusual feature.
00:31:43Perched on the summit of speed.
00:31:46And at the end of the runway, there is...
00:31:51Nothing.
00:31:53Just a thousand foot drop to an uncomfortable end.
00:32:00Here we go!
00:32:02Yes!
00:32:03There it is.
00:32:05It has got some shove now.
00:32:07Forced induction, of course, is what you need at this kind of altitude.
00:32:11That's why superchargers were fitted to the Spitfire and the Messersmith.
00:32:18It's 80.
00:32:2190.
00:32:22There's 100!
00:32:26Oh, those brakes are medium good.
00:32:30And that's a worry for Hammond and May.
00:32:34On the plus side, that's further proof of the power of a Jaguar.
00:32:38On the negative side, Jeremy isn't right now going,
00:32:41Which is a shame.
00:32:42It is.
00:32:43The other thing we need to bear in mind, of course, Hammond,
00:32:45Is that his car is very much the most powerful one here.
00:32:48And you're going next.
00:32:50Why am I going next?
00:32:51Well, because I just said you're going next.
00:32:53And that's like a bagsy.
00:32:54That's how a Jag driver would work.
00:32:56Right!
00:33:00Three, two, one...
00:33:01Begin!
00:33:05Oh!
00:33:06Yeah.
00:33:07I think it's lost some ponies over the years.
00:33:09The big question is, will his ancient XJ6 be able to beat the yardstick I've laid down?
00:33:17Uh, 55.
00:33:2360.
00:33:25Still accelerating.
00:33:28You're going to have to work a bit harder, Jaguar!
00:33:31You really are!
00:33:33Because that's not good enough!
00:33:35S-silly!
00:33:3785!
00:33:39Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to witness the death of Richard Hammond.
00:33:43Again.
00:33:44Nearly!
00:33:47100!
00:33:48100!
00:33:48100!
00:33:49100!
00:33:50100!
00:33:51Oh, my God!
00:33:53100!
00:33:56100!
00:33:56100!
00:34:01...and...
00:34:02...shut down.
00:34:09How much excrement?
00:34:14um well brown seats would have been a better choice yeah um you're breaking
00:34:19rigorous would you like to know how much further you went than me yeah go on point four of a
00:34:25mile
00:34:27of a mile finally it was my turn and i was going to need as much runway and as much
00:34:35streamlining
00:34:36as possible for good reason right now we're alone viewers i'm going to admit to you that my car
00:34:44has gone into limp home mode which is not ideal for this sort of thing
00:34:49in three two one
00:35:0440
00:35:07it's moving i mean just barely but
00:35:1350
00:35:1860
00:35:24he's still accelerating 70 75
00:35:3480 miles 80 80 miles an hour
00:35:4190
00:35:44oh my god
00:36:04having completed the zero to a hundred and back to zero test we got back on the road
00:36:12well all credit to james's xk8 he's come out of it unharmed and the car pretty much too
00:36:19if anything the engine seems to have become even smoother almost as if it's gained 50 more
00:36:27cylinders but that's the thing about jacks they just get better
00:36:34with all three cars still running well we headed off to face our final and toughest challenge
00:36:41in the ski resort of telluride
00:36:52tablet
00:36:53subscribing
00:36:53oh my god
00:36:54they applauded your desk
00:36:56yes very much
00:36:57i have to say though james
00:36:58it really was extraordinary that he went down that thousand foot fall
00:37:04not a scratch no completely unharmed it's weird that jag don't make more of that in their
00:37:09commercials isn't it oh anyway we'll pick that up later on now though it's time for celebrity face-off
00:37:26yeah and today we're asking another important question and it's this
00:37:31who is the world's fastest actor whose middle name is george surprisingly hard to find contenders

00:39:25very expensive cars i mean how is that even possible you tell me
00:39:33it must be a riot it is a riot yeah especially when they they uh make them from scratch like
00:39:39the
00:39:39flip car that i drove in uh fast six that was handmade by this genius in los angeles who makes
00:39:45all the cars in in the films and um it's got like a tongue on it which it's basically like
00:39:49a uh a door
00:39:50wedge basically which had a i think is a formula one engine it was but it was just the shell
00:39:55so the
00:39:55sound was deafening we had all had to have earplugs and stuff and but it was great the the
00:40:01all the wheels could crab so they all could turn at the same time so they could you could go
00:40:04underneath
00:40:05lorries trailer lorries and they're tricky to drive i presume very tricky yeah it was um it wasn't a
00:40:11normal sort of gear shift uh it was a ratchet so you'd have to press a button and then you
00:40:16had to
00:40:17pump the the clutch and then you had to ratchet it up to first and it was so complicated while
00:40:23doing
00:40:23acting while doing acting yes he's so cool why did you have me on the show no because it is
00:40:32i mean you
00:40:32do crash even more cars than hammond does i've got the figures here you've destroyed or the fast and
00:40:39furious people 1478 cars in in the franchise she's quite a lot and someone's worked out the cost of
00:40:46the damage you've only done 3.7 million pounds of the damage that's not bad jason statham's got through
00:40:52148 million quid of the car actually richard hammond has provided me with a question here he said is
00:40:57it because he can't drive very well i did not say that i didn't why would i fall out of
00:41:02jason statham
00:41:03i didn't say that you thought it can he drive because i've always wanted to get jason i have no
00:41:07idea yes i'm sure yeah you're sure he can't drive there you go hammond oh i didn't ask that yeah
00:41:12i'm sure
00:41:13did you ever crash any cars i mean not to the same extent they do but did you no actually
00:41:17i was thinking
00:41:18how cool all your stories were mine was so embarrassing uh i had a scene all i had to do
00:41:23in a very normal car the wheels didn't crab i just had to drive it to the mark get out
00:41:28draw my weapon and
00:41:29say something and that day they had a really a wonderful actress and i had a bit of a crush
00:41:36on
00:41:36her and i was really trying to show off and and i spun the car a little bit threw it
00:41:40into a stop
00:41:42threw open the door pulled out my weapon said my line and slowly the car passed
00:41:48i i had forgot i had forgot to put it in park and uh and it hit the fence that
00:41:54the camera
00:41:54operator was sitting on he fell off the girl never talked to me again and that was anyway can we
00:42:01actually
00:42:01we'll get on to cars we make because you both started with mustangs i think i'm right in saying
00:42:05yeah you're sort of yeah because you were very late yeah i was 30 when i passed my driving test
00:42:11and
00:42:11i'd never been to l.a and i had to go there for a screen test and the first time
00:42:15i got in a car on
00:42:16my own was a higher car from lax airport which is a mustang and then i went on the 405
00:42:21to west hollywood
00:42:23i don't teach you how to drive my hands were so wet that they were sliding off the steering wheel
00:42:30it was the steering wheel's on the wrong side of the road i mean five lanes i mean i do
00:42:36love
00:42:36saying wrong side of the road in front of people who aren't right it's the right side of the road
00:42:40we're the idiots on the wrong side on the wrong side of the road and the 405 is a nightmare
00:42:47if
00:42:47anybody knows it's a nightmare it's an absolute i would not want to do my first solo drive now your
00:42:52first car my first car was a 1967 mustang and uh i had a couple jobs in new york uh
00:43:00that allowed me
00:43:00to buy the car and then i was going to drive it from new york to los angeles uh where
00:43:05i had another
00:43:06job waiting for me and i was driving across texas and this was the cheaper model of the 1967 mustang
00:43:13it
00:43:14was a straight six not a lot of power and i guess there was an 80 mile an hour wind
00:43:19coming east and i
00:43:22was trying to go west and the wind was more powerful than my car so in the middle of the
00:43:26highway it just stopped and i'm not a mechanically inclined guy so i got rid of the mustang as quickly
00:43:34as i could you on the other hand are mechanically minded aren't you yeah well i i my my best
00:43:39mate as
00:43:40i grew up was a a farm farmer's boy and so there was i was always on the in the
00:43:45farms with him and there
00:43:46was like tractors and quads and motorbikes are you a bike enthusiast my dad is a big biker like big
00:43:53big
00:43:53biker so i was brought up as i was always on the back of his bike pillion passengers through the
00:43:57brecon beacons you know did your dad have a 1600e that was yeah when i was born he had a
00:44:031600e cortina
00:44:05in azure blue and when i was born he put my name on his number plate so i grew up
00:44:09with this very
00:44:10special car well now you you're into my specialist subject here you may have to tune out for a moment
00:44:15here because i don't think it was available in blue the 1600e no it wasn't but you'll need to ask
00:44:22him
00:44:22the answer why is he here he's there he's was it how did you get you brought his dad that's
00:44:28right
00:44:28my dad yeah you brought your dad no that would be hilarious how did you have a blue cortina 1600e
00:44:36well
00:44:36the mark twos they came out in the silver fox but after a few years it started to fade so
00:44:41i bought
00:44:41one and then i had it you painted it i thought it was stylish for a valley boy though yeah
00:44:46i mean azure
00:44:48blue you see i had a 1600e it was amber gold they were the coolest car do you remember yeah
00:44:53i do
00:44:54remember it it was beautiful i mean i i remember that i chipped the the walnut dashboard because i was
00:45:00in
00:45:00the car like this with my teeth and he braked and i split and i i literally have guilt even
00:45:05now and i was
00:45:06only five at the time your dad was with you for smashing your teeth out because he braked yeah
00:45:11yeah the car was everything like yeah so you smashed your face in on the dashboard yeah i lost my
00:45:16front
00:45:16teeth but it was the the walnut uh veneer that was the real this is the poor parenting award here
00:45:21this is
00:45:22well now we've got to find out well basically whether we're going to call you canadian or british
00:45:27who wants to see their lads so keifer we're going to have a look at yours first okay if that's
00:45:33all right so
00:45:33here we go it's a beautiful day once again in the heartland of England accelerate accelerate brake
00:45:42that's the right way to do it oh cutting that corner nicely it's tricky because you've got to slow down
00:45:48and then get on the power which you've done very well as you go left and into what we're calling
00:45:52the
00:45:52difficult bit and there we go oh that's tidy that is tidy not exuberant
00:46:04through the banked turn the gravel cell and back down toward the difficult bit too
00:46:10i must say you are holding that very nicely through there we've we've had the traction
00:46:14control wound back so you've got a loose rear end now it goes very slippery and nicely held there and
00:46:22on the power ready to go down the straight bit that isn't really very straight like our other track
00:46:28now let's see if you got any bottle it's supposed to be flat through that is actually very quick
00:46:34through there that is very nicely done indeed hard on the brakes and through the last corner also very
00:46:41nicely and across the line that is tidy you've got people that are very helpful out there yeah
00:46:53well they do let me teach you around but then you've got to go solo you know it's yeah you
00:46:57have to do it
00:46:57see how was yours good fun i loved it i didn't want to get out they had to peel me
00:47:01out of the car
00:47:02yeah well who'd like to see the lab come on then let's have a look at loops
00:47:10come on okay right also cutting the corner taking it i think it's a good idea to go
00:47:21just about hold it together there and onto the gravel
00:47:26oh listen to that exhaust popping away that's good for a two liter engine that's oh exuberant
00:47:31and coming blind through there that looks good this gravel is crazy
00:47:37this is not necessarily the fastest way so have the ass of it hanging out like that but it does
00:47:43look
00:47:43good right yeah looking good through there as well oh this is keeping it tidier this is better
00:47:50it can get a bit fish taily down here if you're not careful but it's all right and onto the
00:47:55slippery
00:47:56dusty bit keeping it wide now flat out do you keep it flat through the last corner now i should
00:48:04break
00:48:04but i'm not gonna are you not gonna break no you are not oh that is fast nearly losing it
00:48:13but just got
00:48:13it together in time to break for the last corner nicely held through there and across the line
00:48:25right i have got your times here
00:48:31so kiefer sutherland you did it in one minute 17.8
00:48:38i'll pop that up
00:48:47luke evans one minute 21.3
00:48:57so i definitely can do like that
00:49:12so there we are just in case you're thinking oh no i'm gonna have to hang myself
00:49:19we've had a 124 4 124 1 123 6 123 you're actually there the fourth fifth fastest so that's really
00:49:26not a bad time it's just his was stellar absolutely stellar so there we are ladies and gentlemen luke
00:49:32heavens and the fastest actor in the world whose middle name is george kevin's now tonight we are
00:49:50proving that old jaguars are reliable and brilliant yep and we rejoin the action just as we are about
00:49:57to embark on one of the biggest challenges us three have ever faced avoiding the expense of ski passes
00:50:04and hiring all the kit by going skiing in our cars

00:52:20see my colleague on reception that would be marvelous thank you very much
00:52:23thank you
00:52:28right that's my warm weather gear sorted out i actually nicked that idea from peter sellers
00:52:34anything on your mind because of course he had a jig
00:52:39once we were fully equipped with suitable clothing we drove straight past the lifts
00:52:45and hit the gradients
00:52:48aha slopes here we go
00:52:51speed
00:52:52speed and power
00:52:55unfortunately for once speed and power didn't seem to do the trick
00:53:01ski damn you come on ski jack
00:53:05we're going to have to admit this isn't working
00:53:09luckily james then had a brainwave
00:53:14and down at the resort's workshop he borrowed some metal poles
00:53:18which he used to shackle our cars together
00:53:26if this works i'll eat my own head six wheel drive all at the same time
00:53:33right everybody select drive in three two one gently
00:53:42yes
00:53:44i think we've got this
00:53:48yeah
00:53:51we're like the human centipede
00:53:54yeah no i've got that wrong
00:54:00oh well james is getting a bit skewy i'll give him more power
00:54:06how many do you jackknifing me towards the edge or clarkson one of you somebody i'm not doing
00:54:11anything you're steering you're at the front you're the head of this caterpillar
00:54:15i'm not steering you are it's jack life no it's the edge stop stop
00:54:21right everybody in reverse
00:54:26three two one gently go
00:54:31jeremy where are you going you're the one that steers is going backwards
00:54:35well i wasn't steering you that way why are you there
00:54:38no how many do you jackknifed does damage you stupid idiot
00:54:41i'm not doing that
00:54:45eventually after much bickering
00:54:47no no you're pushing me over the edge you
00:54:49no you're putting it backwards you're steering
00:54:52who's idea was this how much you're doing it again we started to get the hang of it
00:55:01i knew this would work all you got to do is coordinate the brains
00:55:06this is what comes from many many years of working together that intuitive
00:55:11bond that links us bond of hatred
00:55:30and there we are the summit 12 and a half thousand feet
00:55:37we have made it
00:55:48good right let's unhitch
00:55:53having bypassed the lifts and cable cars it was time to start skiing
00:55:58which was a bit of a worry don't look over that edge but there's a bit of lead gets really
00:56:04steep
00:56:06people do this for fun yeah not in old jags oh yeah you're right look look look if you went
00:56:12wrong
00:56:12here look you'd have time to phone your insurance company or you start filling the form out well there's
00:56:19the airfield look i could see he throw from here
00:56:24but since the only way down was down we set off gingerly
00:56:33just an ordinary drive just an ordinary drive oh geez that that don't look um there's a little gold
00:56:55it's in case i need to bail out steering wheel's working a bit
00:57:09it's losing the back of the car oh crap that's breaking press breaking
00:57:20nothing it's gonna write a book while we don't stop yeah here we are still not stopping
00:57:24we have speed oh my god god no control now
00:57:32i'm gonna hit that train there's nothing no jesus christ mercifully the gradient
00:57:42eventually leveled out but then it became very narrow oh my god look at the drop on our left
00:57:53holy
00:57:57oh my god that's genuinely alarming i'm crabbing
00:58:11bloody hell just why didn't we just go in a straight line just please just breathe
00:58:19oh
00:58:19james is your car crabbing as well for absolutely no reason
00:58:23yeah it's absolutely terrifying
00:58:26oh
00:58:28oh
00:58:29don't look at the view don't look at the drop
00:58:33oh
00:58:36hell this is scary
00:58:42oh
00:58:43oh
00:58:43shit shit shit having not fallen over the terrifying drop we then had to drive down one
00:58:50holy mother of god
00:58:55oh my god
00:59:00oh my giddy heart
00:59:03this is quick now
00:59:09look at the change up again that was a mistake that was a massive mistake
00:59:17just go in a straight line you bastard
00:59:24let's turn turn turn turn turn turn
00:59:27oh
00:59:29but none of us died and then jack skiing started to come together
00:59:44oh yes this is i'm slalom skiing now is what i'm doing and i'm doing it well
00:59:59and let's be honest after one day on normal skis you'll still be pretty rubbish whereas here
01:00:06we are absolutely brilliant i'd love to do this with other people on the slopes at the same time
01:00:14could actually run into a snowboard
01:00:16oh i'm sorry was that annoying
01:00:19now you know what it feels like
01:00:22eventually we started on the final leg down into the town
01:00:26and richard and i got into a bit of a race
01:00:30come on come on come on come on come on come on come on a little bit more go
01:00:35oh bumpy oh very bumpy very bumpy oh yes
01:00:40oh no
01:00:44that was a biggie meanwhile a little further back
01:00:50oh god i've got a brake warning light on i don't know what that means padware
01:00:56system failure god knows
01:01:00there's the town they're coming in hot and stylishly
01:01:07and we wouldn't have to walk to the hotel in silly boots we'd simply drive there
01:01:14oh hello
01:01:21oh no
01:01:26oh there's been an accident
01:01:30ah
01:01:32damn right
01:01:36only we
01:01:38no look we meant to park them there they look good
01:01:42oh no
01:01:44well just keep working brakes for another 10 seconds or so
01:01:49exactly where we wanted them to be and that's where they are and that's good
01:01:52uh anyway the thing is that we got here well there without a single problem and with a very definite
01:02:02conclusion
01:02:03by an ex-jr oh no hang on the whole point of this exercise is to demonstrate jaguar's reliability as
01:02:09a make
01:02:10yes but we have and we've also
01:02:13what oh
01:02:17oh
01:02:20oh
01:02:24brilliant so we get all the way to the very end and then you ruin it but it was hardly
01:02:32my fault
01:02:33was it the brakes failed but they've just told everybody and now they all think that jaguars
01:02:38have faults and they won't buy one which means this entire program has been a complete waste of time
01:02:45and on that terrible disappointment it's time to end thank you so much for watching see
01:02:49you next time goodbye
01:02:50All right.
