1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,150 Top Gear S16E05. 2 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,890 Tonight... Richard wears a blue hat, 3 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,890 James wears a different hat 4 00:00:18,430 --> 00:00:20,920 and I wear a hat with things on it. 5 00:00:29,110 --> 00:00:32,540 Hello! Thank you. 6 00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:40,539 Now, as you may remember, before Christmas there was a bit of snow. Everything stopped, 7 00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:48,219 we all ran about waving arms in the air saying, "Why in this country do we not have more snow ploughs and more gritting machines?" 8 00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:53,939 The main problem of course is cost, especially at the moment, because councils everywhere are laying people off. 9 00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:57,259 They cannot very well make a whole department redundant 10 00:00:57,260 --> 00:01:00,849 and then spend the £90,000 they have saved on a snow plough. 11 00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:06,399 Especially if the snow plough is just going to be sitting around. It might not be needed for five years. Exactly. 12 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,899 So, what is to be done? 13 00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:14,329 Well, this is the combine harvester. It works 24 hours-a-day through August, 14 00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:17,469 but then it sits idly in the shed for the rest of the year. 15 00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:22,629 How hard would it be to turn this in winter into a snow plough? 16 00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:29,849 To find out, we bought an old model, of this very combine in fact, and set about making the necessary modifications 17 00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:33,509 at Top Gear's top-secret testing facility in Nottinghamshire. 18 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:39,400 On the B6011, Just North of Bestwood, St Albans. 19 00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:46,980 This is the result of our endeavours. 20 00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:04,569 Straight away you can see we have removed the rotating, cutting, harvesty blade thing off the front and replaced it with this snow blade. 21 00:02:04,570 --> 00:02:08,049 It is V-shaped, because that makes it more easy to cut through the snow. 22 00:02:08,050 --> 00:02:13,100 This should be able to move through snow up to three feet deep, no problem. 23 00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:21,029 Power comes from a V8 diesel engine which drives these chunky front wheels. 24 00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:27,200 In the snow, as any BMW driver will tell you, front-wheel drive is a lot better than rear-wheel-drive. 25 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,069 The combine, when you think about it, it is almost as if it was designed with snow clearance in mind. 26 00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:34,490 It is uncanny. Everything about it, 27 00:02:34,491 --> 00:02:39,039 it has the ground clearance, knobbly tyres, front-wheel drive, the weight of it, it is all there. 28 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,629 This is one of those times on top gear actually... 29 00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:46,340 We have accidentally been a bit clever! ...this might work. 30 00:02:48,850 --> 00:02:56,820 Since the dominator has a top speed of just 12mph, it's easy to decide which one of us would be the driver. 31 00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:04,200 What happens if I put it on full? BLEEP. I don't like that! 32 00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,250 Give it the beans! Faster! 33 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,270 Hang on, it is not like a rally car. 34 00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:14,260 He is going the wrong way. Rear wheel steering, look. 35 00:03:14,970 --> 00:03:21,739 It is not very sensitive steering. BLEEP. Oh, BLEEP. 36 00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:27,099 There is of course, one drawback to the combine as a snow plough. 37 00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:32,149 Because it was designed to work in August, it has no heater. 38 00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:35,889 Which is why there is a drum in there, you can probably see through the window, 39 00:03:35,890 --> 00:03:40,209 and that is an urn. We put that in there. 40 00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:43,749 Full of... Well, we wanted tea, but James said 'I want Bovril'. 41 00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:45,440 Because he is in 1950. 42 00:03:45,940 --> 00:03:50,879 We all know that when it is snowing and it is cold, you have Bovril. That is a rule of life. 43 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,149 He likes to paint himself all over in it, 44 00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:56,380 it is like baby oil to him. That is what he does. 45 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,270 Him and his lorry driver friends, all Bovrilled up, and then they slip about. That is what they do! 46 00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:08,649 "Besides attaching a plough on the front, 47 00:04:08,650 --> 00:04:15,110 we also converted the tube that normally shoots out the harvested wheat into a makeshift gritter". 48 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,769 I shall be responsible for shovelling the grit from here into this hopper. 49 00:04:22,770 --> 00:04:25,339 I should be good at this, because my first job was 50 00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:27,940 actually shovelling grit into a water filtration plant. 51 00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:30,920 Go on then, shovel. Make shovelling. 52 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,679 While he is doing that, I shall explain my role. 53 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:43,120 I can use this lever here to swing the arm to direct the flow of grit on to the pavement or onto the road behind. 54 00:04:44,020 --> 00:04:45,529 Yes, look at this! 55 00:04:45,530 --> 00:04:49,260 Initiating gritting. 56 00:04:56,790 --> 00:05:01,810 Yes! And there was grit! We have made a gritting machine! 57 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,450 "But there was one more check we wanted to do". 58 00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:12,249 You know what it is like when you are following a gritting lorry on the motorway 59 00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:15,459 you can go 'No, it is turning my car into a DeLorean!'. 60 00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:17,760 Exactly. So, to make sure this is not too powerful, 61 00:05:17,761 --> 00:05:22,409 we have got Hammond in a car. We are going to do a little experiment, 62 00:05:22,410 --> 00:05:25,559 fire the gritter at it, make sure it does not actually take the paint off. 63 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,700 It will be all right sideways, won't it? Yes, yes. 64 00:05:30,820 --> 00:05:33,479 OK James, engage. 65 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,600 Initiating gritting. 66 00:05:40,190 --> 00:05:44,489 Stop it James, there has been a problem! Make it stop! 67 00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:47,030 Gritting ceased. 68 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,459 "Apart from the fact that the grit would kill the occupants of any car it hit," 69 00:05:54,460 --> 00:05:57,770 we felt that the dominator was ready to start work, 70 00:05:59,430 --> 00:06:01,130 but there was a problem". 71 00:06:05,850 --> 00:06:07,060 It is not going to snow, is it? 72 00:06:08,290 --> 00:06:11,559 "With crossed fingers, we tuned in to the weather forecast". 73 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,619 Good afternoon... Shh! We are going to see a change in our weather later on this week. 74 00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:19,569 Temperatures really starting to climb, things heading much milder. We have had a fair bit of cloud around already... 75 00:06:19,570 --> 00:06:24,389 The good news is there is absolutely no sign of the cold air returning in the near future, 76 00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:29,359 it is a very mild outlook. The reason we have got all this warm air, it is pumping up from the tropics. 77 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,419 What does he know? 78 00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:34,650 He does not have to rub it in, does he? He sounds all gleeful about it. 79 00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:41,350 "So, if the snow would not come to the dominator, we would take the dominator to the snow." 80 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:51,659 Here in Norway, we decided to clear the snow from a frozen lake to make a runway 81 00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:55,150 and then a Nor would land his plane on it". 82 00:06:57,100 --> 00:07:00,669 This is quite snowy. It must have snowed. 83 00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:03,859 "We knew the ice would be thick enough for a light aircraft, 84 00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:06,740 but what about our heavy snowbine?". 85 00:07:10,910 --> 00:07:12,520 Ooh, oh. I thought he would be drilling for hours! 86 00:07:12,521 --> 00:07:15,219 That was 10 seconds! 87 00:07:15,220 --> 00:07:17,420 Seriously, has that gone through? Yes. 88 00:07:19,630 --> 00:07:27,059 Norwegians actually have a chart to say how much weight you can put on various thicknesses of ice. 89 00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:29,829 So, how thick is it? 45 centimetres. 90 00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:33,779 Well, say 50... let's say 40. It is 45. 91 00:07:33,780 --> 00:07:37,549 So 50 centimetres of ice, 12 tonnes. 92 00:07:37,550 --> 00:07:41,879 Combine is more than that. It is 13 tonnes. 93 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,960 So, we can't do it? Well it is only a tonne over. 94 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,529 "Bravely, Hammond and the optimistic Jeremy decided not to be on board," 95 00:07:51,530 --> 00:07:54,730 as I gingerly drove the snowbine out of the woods, 96 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,070 towards the ice". 97 00:08:00,870 --> 00:08:02,410 Three yards to the lake, 98 00:08:03,140 --> 00:08:04,250 this is it! 99 00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:10,730 I do not like that noise! 100 00:08:16,130 --> 00:08:18,480 "Eventually though, I made it". 101 00:08:18,870 --> 00:08:21,059 I or did I not say we would be all right? 102 00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:25,530 Was that or was that not based entirely on guesswork? 103 00:08:28,730 --> 00:08:32,790 "As my guesswork was correct, we set to work". 104 00:08:36,510 --> 00:08:37,710 We are ploughing. 105 00:08:40,530 --> 00:08:42,700 We are ploughing chaps, look at this. 106 00:08:45,740 --> 00:08:47,690 Here we go! 107 00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:53,070 The snowbinester - it works! Yes! 108 00:08:55,390 --> 00:08:59,500 Come on! 109 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,920 This is.. Oh! 110 00:09:05,490 --> 00:09:07,290 I think we have just gone through it. 111 00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:09,240 Ho-ho, yes we have! 112 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:13,429 Is not an emergency, it is just time to empty your bowels. 113 00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:15,850 Sinking! Sinking! 114 00:09:16,610 --> 00:09:18,730 "Bravely, Jeremy dismounted". 115 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,699 Back it up! 116 00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:22,580 "And then he started to issue orders". 117 00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:30,920 That is sinking badly. Put your blade down because that has just gone through again. 118 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,150 "When the combine finally moved, we could see the scale of the peril". 119 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,010 That is 300 metres deep. 120 00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:45,130 It's just water. 121 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:52,800 "However, unlike the snowplough people at Heathrow Airport, we decided not to just give up". 122 00:09:53,980 --> 00:09:59,790 Do you know how many flights were cancelled in Heathrow last year, because of the weather? 123 00:10:01,460 --> 00:10:02,989 3700. 124 00:10:02,990 --> 00:10:06,630 Do you know how many flights were cancelled in Oslo because of the weather? 125 00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:09,689 2000? Two. 126 00:10:09,690 --> 00:10:13,870 Heathrow 3700. 127 00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:19,180 "As we were proving, all of that misery was completely un-necessary". 128 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,989 There really is no excuse. Heathrow, BAA, 129 00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:26,429 if you're watching this, you're pathetic. 130 00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:31,889 And if anybody in a meeting says "Oh well, the reason why it was shut is...", sack him. 131 00:10:31,890 --> 00:10:38,690 There is no reason why it was shut because it is not difficult to clear a runway. It just is not. 132 00:10:39,150 --> 00:10:43,629 "My rant was interrupted at this point by news from below decks". 133 00:10:43,630 --> 00:10:48,420 The Bovril is boiling over. 134 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,890 "Up top, Hammond was still fretting about the ice". 135 00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:59,860 Oh my god, that is another crack there, look. Yep. Big one. 136 00:11:00,780 --> 00:11:03,539 When we go through, it is going to be worse for him. 137 00:11:03,540 --> 00:11:07,360 Oh god yes, because he will be pawing a t the glass, desperate. 138 00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:11,160 "Right now though, he was pawing at the steering wheel". 139 00:11:11,830 --> 00:11:17,910 James, James, go right you idiot! Stay right, it is a straight line we are looking for! 140 00:11:18,810 --> 00:11:20,959 I think this will be a tricky landing. 141 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,950 We got into a tank slapper. 142 00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:27,190 Look where we're pointing. James, the trees indicate land. 143 00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:31,600 "Eventually though, James are mastered at the rear wheel steering". 144 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,979 I am waiting to look behind us and see a runway, complete with lights and everything. 145 00:11:36,980 --> 00:11:39,090 That is not happening, but it is not bad, look. 146 00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:43,200 "Pretty soon, the runway was finished. 147 00:11:44,850 --> 00:11:50,310 So we pulled over and radioed the pilot, giving him permission to land". 148 00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:56,610 It is not the smoothest runway. No, but there is less snow on it than there was. 149 00:11:57,350 --> 00:12:00,610 It is smooth enough, isn't it? Well we are about to find out. Here he comes. 150 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:10,509 Look at that, job done. 151 00:12:10,510 --> 00:12:15,000 Ladies and gentlemen, we did that! How about that. 152 00:12:16,070 --> 00:12:19,480 "Sadly though, our celebrations were premature". 153 00:12:21,770 --> 00:12:24,730 Oh, oh my God. That is quite bumpy. 154 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,900 He has crashed. He has pretty much crashed there. 155 00:12:31,610 --> 00:12:35,239 In time like this, there is only one thing a man can do. 156 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,480 Right, quick, go! Go go go! Right, James, run! 157 00:12:53,470 --> 00:12:55,890 That was deeply embarrassing. 158 00:12:59,610 --> 00:13:02,219 I know we are often accused of faking things on this programme, 159 00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:05,209 but trust me, you cannot actually fake a plane crash. 160 00:13:05,210 --> 00:13:11,079 I think that it is probably safe to say we will not be getting a Christmas tree for Trafalgar Square this year, from Norway. 161 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,429 Anyway, we will be picking that film up later on. We want to explain it is not just a massive cocking around. 162 00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:19,969 We really do believe that we were on to something with that snowbine 163 00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:25,029 because if you think about it, if it works, farmers can rent out equipment that would normally be sitting idle, 164 00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:29,429 councils do not have to maintain a fleet, which savesthem a fortune. 165 00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:31,049 And we get our roads open. 166 00:13:31,050 --> 00:13:33,140 So we really do think it is worth persevering with. 167 00:13:33,141 --> 00:13:37,469 Anyway, now, we are going to do the news. I want to begin by talking about Nissan. 168 00:13:37,470 --> 00:13:40,500 They have announced they are going to make a new electric sports car 169 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,599 which they are going to exhibit at the Geneva Motor Show, which is soon. 170 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,209 That is a picture of it. 171 00:13:45,210 --> 00:13:47,919 They have sent us lots of details about this car. 172 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,289 Interestingly and unusually, they have also sent us a description 173 00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:53,190 of the sort of person who will buy it. 174 00:13:53,191 --> 00:13:56,589 An actual biography. I am quoting now from a Nissan themselves. 175 00:13:56,590 --> 00:13:59,349 They say the driver, Daniel... 176 00:13:59,350 --> 00:14:01,260 So this guy does not exist, they have made him up?

This year's F1 car they said is going to be called the F150. 229 00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:06,769 Then, they got a call from Ford's lawyers saying. 230 00:17:06,770 --> 00:17:11,409 "No, you cannot do that because we own the name F150 and that will cause confusion." 231 00:17:11,410 --> 00:17:16,209 So let's have a look at the Ferrari. This is the F150, this year's F1 car, 232 00:17:16,210 --> 00:17:19,060 and now let's have a look at Ford's F150. 233 00:17:20,370 --> 00:17:22,839 It is easy to see how the confusion could arise 234 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,930 between the two if you kept them together. 235 00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:27,980 What would be worse than getting pole position sitting on the grid and thinking, 236 00:17:27,981 --> 00:17:29,750 "Right, here we go in my big F1 race," 237 00:17:29,751 --> 00:17:32,000 why is there a man in a cowboy hat sitting next to me? 238 00:17:32,001 --> 00:17:36,249 Oh, no, I am in a pickup truck!

We are the only country in the world 259 00:18:34,581 --> 00:18:37,749 where the government says if you move the letters and numbers around 260 00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:40,379 to make this word you can buy this from us, 261 00:18:40,380 --> 00:18:42,540 and then they fine you for moving the letters and numbers around. 262 00:18:42,541 --> 00:18:43,560 It is a bit weird, that. 263 00:18:44,020 --> 00:18:45,850 The interesting thing is that some of the words 264 00:18:45,851 --> 00:18:48,399 have been banned for being offensive or sinister. 265 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:54,430 Words like psycho and vulgar. But they have allowed ballbag. 266 00:18:56,060 --> 00:19:01,699 They have? No, they haven't. They have not allowed ballbag, 267 00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:03,900 But they have allowed melons. 268 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,959 Isn't that sexist? It is sexist to me. 269 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:13,189 It is also not fair, because what if you were a wholesaler of giant hold-alls 270 00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:16,629 for transporting footballs in large volumes to school playing fields? 271 00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:18,570 You might want ballbag. They are not doing it, 272 00:19:18,571 --> 00:19:23,599 but I think it is unlikely it would be bought by a sporting wholesaler. 273 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,939 In the same way that melons would not be bought by a greengrocer. 274 00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:29,969 It would end up on Jordan's pink whore's box. 275 00:19:29,970 --> 00:19:33,649 What? Horse box. Oh. What did you think I said? 276 00:19:33,650 --> 00:19:35,960 That is what I thought you said. 277 00:19:37,250 --> 00:19:40,509 One of the things we have learned over the years on this show is that 278 00:19:40,510 --> 00:19:46,380 if you want a small, fast saloon car, you have to buy a BMW M3. 279 00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:51,809 You can go off and buy a fast Mercedes or a fast Audi if you want, 280 00:19:51,810 --> 00:19:53,210 but that is like going out and buying a. 281 00:19:53,211 --> 00:19:56,739 Playstation war game that isn't Call of Duty. 282 00:19:56,740 --> 00:20:00,870 The M3 is the best, and that is an end of it. 283 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,310 Now however, BMW claim they have made it even better. 284 00:20:17,620 --> 00:20:20,799 First of all, it is fitted with a devise that cuts the engine 285 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,439 when you stop it is set of lights, 286 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,420 and then start it again when you set off. 287 00:20:26,270 --> 00:20:30,880 All on its own, this will solve the Global Warming. 288 00:20:38,610 --> 00:20:40,939 Next, it is available with a matt finish, 289 00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:46,250 which is as cool as buying some skinny jeans, and then making an app about them. 290 00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:51,899 There are some drawbacks to this though, 291 00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:58,479 first of all, it costs 1,755. I think it is a lot for a bit of paint. 292 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,739 Plus, you cannot take it in a car-wash or polish it, 293 00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:07,219 and you must remove tree sap, dead insects and bird droppings 294 00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:09,300 immediately or you will ruin it. 295 00:21:10,550 --> 00:21:14,380 So really, you are paying 1700 quid for some inconvenience. 296 00:21:16,650 --> 00:21:21,540 The biggest new feature is what BMW call the competition pack. 297 00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:25,069 This will cost you 3,300. 298 00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:28,849 For that you get bigger wheels and tyres, a lowered ride height 299 00:21:28,850 --> 00:21:31,629 and one or two other software tweaks designed to 300 00:21:31,630 --> 00:21:34,460 keep people pointing in vaguely the right direction. 301 00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:40,700 Or if the mood takes you, in completely the wrong direction. 302 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:02,299 I would love to say at this point that the competition pack has transformed this car 303 00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:07,600 into a mesmerising blend of God and Uma Thurman. 304 00:22:08,250 --> 00:22:09,370 But it hasn't. 305 00:22:10,220 --> 00:22:16,220 Truth be told, most of the time it makes absolutely no difference at all. 306 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,120 In a straight line, it is no faster than the standard car. 307 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,570 Around the bends, it feels exactly the same. 308 00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:33,759 Except of course when you eventually spin, it will assume 309 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,290 you have arrived at a set of lights and cut the engine. 310 00:22:38,510 --> 00:22:39,980 Why have you done that! 311 00:22:40,370 --> 00:22:45,170 Nobody arrives at traffic lights backwards in a cloud of tyre smoke! 312 00:22:45,950 --> 00:22:47,840 Stupid thing! 313 00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:56,410 However, with the competition pack, you do get one feature that you will notice. 314 00:22:58,690 --> 00:23:03,940 If you push this little button here, twice, you engage sport mode. 315 00:23:06,290 --> 00:23:08,780 It does not make any difference to the speed you go, 316 00:23:08,781 --> 00:23:12,520 but it does make the car very uncomfortable. 317 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,759 I know, for example, this runway is very smooth. 318 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,800 But now it feels like I am driving over a teenager's face. 319 00:23:28,330 --> 00:23:30,779 So there we are. The competition pack. 320 00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:34,609 You spend 58,000 and what you get in exchange is 321 00:23:34,610 --> 00:23:41,390 a normal 55,000 M3 with a little button that makes it worse. 322 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:54,889 So what about this? The new Audi RS5. This is also 58,000, 323 00:23:54,890 --> 00:23:59,240 but it does come with many bells and a fleet of whistles. 324 00:24:02,210 --> 00:24:06,189 It has four wheel drive, a new mechanical centre differential 325 00:24:06,190 --> 00:24:11,210 and an electronic gizmo that splits the torque between the rear wheels. 326 00:24:11,810 --> 00:24:16,139 Sounds juicy! And that is before we get to the engine. 327 00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:20,820 A Lamborghini derived 4.2 litre V8. 328 00:24:24,940 --> 00:24:28,819 Audi has even gone to the trouble of fitting the engine with a device that 329 00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:33,989 fires a droplet of petrol into the hot exhaust every time you change gear. 330 00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:35,360 So, ready? 331 00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:47,570 They are using the planet's resources to make changing gear sound nice. I like that. 332 00:24:49,130 --> 00:24:55,080 But can it beat the BMW? Let's find out. 333 00:24:57,350 --> 00:25:02,049 He has 414 brake horsepower, I have 30 more. 334 00:25:02,050 --> 00:25:05,319 I am expecting to just cruise by. 335 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,239 But, the Audi is heavier, and despite the high-tech four-wheel drive 336 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,020 it is nowhere near as good on the corners. 337 00:25:14,010 --> 00:25:18,950 I will get him on the next one. Oh, dear. 338 00:25:21,330 --> 00:25:23,720 No matter, I will get him on the braking... 339 00:25:28,090 --> 00:25:29,940 I won't get him on the braking. Ooh... 340 00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:43,459 er! This is weird, because in all fast Audis I can remember, 341 00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:46,999 the engine has always been way out in front of the front axle 342 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,800 sticking out like Bruce Forsyth's chin. 343 00:25:51,780 --> 00:25:55,670 In this, they have moved the axle forwards. 344 00:25:57,940 --> 00:26:02,370 The idea being that that would kill the understeer that has always plagued Audis. 345 00:26:03,870 --> 00:26:07,279 Honestly, it really has not worked. Come on! 346 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,470 Turn! 347 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,699 The only hope you have of getting past is that eventually, 348 00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:21,190 the BMW driver will have to pull over to wipe an insect off the bonnet. 349 00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:31,499 I thought the RS5 would be a modern day version of the original Quattro 350 00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:34,749 a hardcore, fire spitting monster. 351 00:26:34,750 --> 00:26:39,450 A machine born in the forests, rough, brutal and exciting. 352 00:26:41,260 --> 00:26:45,069 But it is not. It is comfortable and relaxing and quiet. 353 00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:47,099 I am sorry, but if that is what you want, 354 00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:53,070 why spend 58,000 on a four-wheel drive V8? 355 00:27:00,850 --> 00:27:04,199 In short, neither of these cars really works. 356 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,780 As a result, we are back where we started. 357 00:27:08,130 --> 00:27:13,340 If you want a small, fast saloon, buy a standard M3. 358 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,940 What is there to applaud? 359 00:27:24,540 --> 00:27:25,970 Let work this out, shall we. 360 00:27:25,971 --> 00:27:30,299 A couple of weeks ago, you reviewed three cars that no one can buy. 361 00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:33,409 And you have just reviewed two cars that no one will want to buy. 362 00:27:33,410 --> 00:27:35,189 I have. Thank you. 363 00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:38,979 But listen. I have another problem with the Audi apart from the ones we have already seen. 364 00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:42,059 You know Audi's sponsor, Manchester United? 365 00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:46,220 How many people here support Manchester United? Hands up. 366 00:27:47,970 --> 00:27:51,249 It is a few, so they think yes we like Audis. 367 00:27:51,250 --> 00:27:54,819 Now, how many people here hope that Manchester United, the entire team, 368 00:27:54,820 --> 00:27:57,870 catch gonorrhoea and are unable to play ever again? 369 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,519 That is the problem with a car when its sponsors a football team. 370 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,179 It automatically means that the vast majority of people, my son included, 371 00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:10,319 he hates Audis! If anyone does not support that football team... Exactly! 372 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,410 I do not want to think that divide bought an Audi, 373 00:28:12,411 --> 00:28:15,009 any of my money, even a tiny bit, is going to Wayne Rooney. 374 00:28:15,010 --> 00:28:18,140 Or Sir Ferguson. With his chewing-gum. 375 00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:23,759 Anyway, it is now time to find out how fast these cars go around our track. 376 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,939 That, of course, means handing them over to our tame racing driver. 377 00:28:27,940 --> 00:28:34,110 Some say that in his wallet he keeps a photograph of his wallet. 378 00:28:37,580 --> 00:28:43,740 And that in a recent race, even he was beaten by The King's Speech. 379 00:28:44,810 --> 00:28:46,860 All we know is he is called The Stig. 380 00:28:49,210 --> 00:28:50,709 And they're Off... 381 00:28:50,710 --> 00:28:54,929 The track is moist and that should favour the four-wheel drive Audi. 382 00:28:54,930 --> 00:29:01,260 Let's see as they come up to the first corner, Audi is OK there. 383 00:29:02,250 --> 00:29:04,789 What about the BMW? No, it is getting a bit out of shape. 384 00:29:04,790 --> 00:29:06,090 A bit squiggly, there. 385 00:29:06,390 --> 00:29:09,870 Tequila! It makes me happy! 386 00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:12,660 I have no idea why he is listening to that. 387 00:29:13,220 --> 00:29:15,999 There we are, the RS5's front end washing out. 388 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:22,900 The BMW still tail happy. Ok, the Hummerhead. Will the Audi follow its nose like a truffle pig? 389 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,130 It seems to be doing all right. 390 00:29:25,131 --> 00:29:27,819 The tyres are squealing though, with that precise Germanic pain. 391 00:29:27,820 --> 00:29:32,149 BMW drifting like a matt painted lunatic. 392 00:29:32,150 --> 00:29:35,750 Tequila! It makes me happy! 393 00:29:36,830 --> 00:29:39,990 Powering into the follow-through. 394 00:29:40,660 --> 00:29:42,380 The Audi has got its dander up now. 395 00:29:42,381 --> 00:29:45,259 Through the tyres, not much in it so far. 396 00:29:45,260 --> 00:29:48,389 Two corners left. Here they come now on the braking, 397 00:29:48,390 --> 00:29:50,890 the RS5 looking a bit squirrelly there. 398 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,410 The brakes I must say are not that great on the track. 399 00:29:53,411 --> 00:29:56,950 They are both slithering through Gambon and there we are, across the line. 400 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:06,719 So the Audi RS5 did it. - 1:27:5, so that's there, the moist symbol. The competition pack, 401 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,570 even though it does not have four-wheel drive and the track was a bit wet, 402 00:30:09,571 --> 00:30:14,229 1:26:5, so that goes there. Way faster. 403 00:30:14,230 --> 00:30:18,519 Yeah but hang on, where is normal M3? It is there, so it is not as fast. 404 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:23,660 The M3 is the best car. It always will be and there is no point ever thinking otherwise. 405 00:30:24,910 --> 00:30:28,829 Now, it is time to put a star in our reasonably priced car. 406 00:30:28,830 --> 00:30:32,559 My guest tonight appears in a new film alongside Nicolas Cage, 407 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,509 one of those films where everything explodes, there is a car chase and it is all in 3D. 408 00:30:36,510 --> 00:30:40,599 But she did cause a bit of a row in the office. 409 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,529 You see, the producers said, you cannot have her on because nobody has ever heard of her. 410 00:30:45,530 --> 00:30:53,299 I said, yes that is true, but she is bisexual. And she likes guns and muscle cars. And I won. 411 00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:56,730 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Amber Heard! 412 00:31:15,650 --> 00:31:23,239 Carlsberg do not do guests for chat shows but if they did, that is pretty close to perfect. 413 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,240 Where do we begin? 414 00:31:24,241 --> 00:31:27,099 I hear that is a good sign.

Or tomorrow. 728 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:27,540 'Warning - the Top Gear Snowbine Harvester is approaching!'. 729 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,570 This is really annoying. For the first time in my life 730 00:53:30,571 --> 00:53:34,740 I have one of these Tannoy things and there is absolutely nobody to talk to. 731 00:53:40,070 --> 00:53:42,020 James, there is one kilometre to go! 732 00:53:42,021 --> 00:53:45,510 One more kilometre and this road is open. 733 00:53:46,460 --> 00:53:49,060 Who fancies a celebratory Bovril, when we get there? 734 00:53:50,420 --> 00:53:53,520 Unless Bovril is a code word for something dirty, I do not want to do that. 735 00:53:54,870 --> 00:53:57,129 Hang on, getting a bit of a tank slapper. 736 00:53:57,130 --> 00:53:58,840 It is wandering off! 737 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,130 Oh no! 738 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:09,490 BLEEP. 739 00:54:10,420 --> 00:54:14,510 "This time, we had come off the road and into a massive snowdrift". 740 00:54:19,730 --> 00:54:22,040 Jesus wept.

BLEEP. 746 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,050 "So, one wheel was stuck and one was spinning uselessly". 747 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:47,600 Full power! 748 00:54:54,090 --> 00:54:54,880 It is not going to do it. 749 00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,880 "Spurred on by the previous day's failures, we dug furiously". 750 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,690 Just for once, I want to do something properly. 751 00:55:10,710 --> 00:55:15,230 I want to clear this road and do it.

Look at that! 765 00:56:37,240 --> 00:56:42,810 That is a blaze of glory!

What? We have been ambitious and brilliant, 771 00:57:05,330 --> 00:57:07,880 and it is all thanks to the dominator. Successful. 772 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,080 Gentleman, it has been a pleasure ploughing with you. 773 00:57:10,081 --> 00:57:11,590 It has been a joy and an honour. 774 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:13,860 That was the right road, wasn't it? 775 00:57:19,700 --> 00:57:22,559 We did something! We were actually good! 776 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,180 I can hardly believe it but it is true, that's weird. 777 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,049 Some conclusions we can draw from our outstanding success, there. 778 00:57:33,050 --> 00:57:36,899 Britain has 3700 snow ploughs and gritters, 779 00:57:36,900 --> 00:57:40,979 and spends 160 million per year clearing snow. 780 00:57:40,980 --> 00:57:45,179 Obviously, that is not enough because every time there is a light flurry, 781 00:57:45,180 --> 00:57:47,319 everything shuts down and closes. 782 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,619 That is why our idea makes so much sense because 783 00:57:49,620 --> 00:57:53,389 there are 15,000 combine harvesters in Britain. 784 00:57:53,390 --> 00:57:56,379 All it takes to convert them into snowploughs is a spanner 785 00:57:56,380 --> 00:57:57,880 and a couple of burly men. 786 00:57:58,730 --> 00:58:00,630 Well, the gritter bit was a bit more complicated. 787 00:58:00,631 --> 00:58:02,830 And the flame-thrower. I am not sure you need that. 788 00:58:02,831 --> 00:58:05,719 You do. It is brilliant. It is a good reversing light. 789 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,719 You set fire to a man. No, I did not! 790 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,959 He spontaneously combusted as we were driving by. 791 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,479 It was incredible. I have never seen anything like it. 792 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,189 Anyway, the important thing is that our dominator was an old machine. 793 00:58:19,190 --> 00:58:22,099 If we used one of the more modern ones with more power, 794 00:58:22,100 --> 00:58:25,579 especially if it had four-wheel drive, it would be brilliant. 795 00:58:25,580 --> 00:58:26,410 It would. 796 00:58:26,411 --> 00:58:30,149 There we are, we have succeed where the Bank of England has failed. 797 00:58:30,150 --> 00:58:33,219 We have solved the country's financial crisis. 798 00:58:33,220 --> 00:58:35,259 And I think we will get marquises now. 799 00:58:35,260 --> 00:58:36,410 I suspect so, yes. 800 00:58:36,411 --> 00:58:38,999 So on that bombshell, it's time to end. 801 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,480 Thank you very much for watching, good night.
