Time to get back to tonight,’s challenge We’ve all bought supercars for less than 10 000. We’re doing a number of challenges with them, as we go on one of our frankly, an epic voyages from Bristol here to a lap dancing bar in Slough about here.
When you look at it like that, it’s not exactly the most arduous journey.
Ever undertaken is it Nevertheless, it’s taken us half a day to get to about here and so far we’ve learnt that James’s Lamborghini is rubbish.
Jeremy’s, Maserati is slow and my Ferrari Isn’t a Ferrari.
It is.
It is not a Ferrari, Be quiet, It’s a Let’s get back to the action.
While you were away the cars had their tanks drained and were then given 25 litres to get them to the lap dancing club in Slough 96 miles away.
To get to Slough with the fuel we’ve just put in, we have to average 17 miles to the gallon, Apparently yes, Which, in a normal car, No problem piece of cake.
These aren’t entirely normal cars.
To make matters worse, it had become obvious that the lap of Castle Combe had hurt my engine badly. This is a half French, half Italian car.
That’s a worry When the French and the Italians come together to do cooking that’s great, But when they come together to make a car run Run for your life.
Now I’m following Jeremy in his Maserati, I’m doing 48 miles an hour and I get the distinct impression that he’s going flat out.
Look at that Overtaken For our next challenge.
We had to go to a service centre in Chippenham.
Oh don’t do that Yeah that’ll help Right challenge.
I think It’s just a bit tappety Yeah both ends In the way that a dumper truck is Right.
I would stall You are now in a race With no outside help.
Each of you must change the oil in your car and all the spark plugs These Actually come to think of it.
You’ve got a V6. We’ve got V8s, I’ve only got six spark plugs, But I’ve never held a spanner in my life.
Well, he has, but on old British All I have to do now is demonstrate to you two why I’m a doctor of engineering twice.
The good doctor then started work on his spark plugs, rather than changing his oil, which was actually quite dim.
You need it to be hot, for the oil to drain’cause it’s thin.
Otherwise, you get big lumpy bits in your case full of metal hanging around at the bottom Oddly James began by doing housework.
The bonnet is eating my head, So the good doctor came up with an engineering solution.
Meanwhile, James had got going and got stuck.
I don’t see how I’m going to do that, While Jeremy had resorted to shouting Come on Come on, I sound like I’m in a porn film.
Their problem was inaccessible, spark plugs, Not something that was troubling me.
I’m actually dawdling. I don’t want to win by too much.
Oh, I can’t get at this one.
Oh, look it’s obscured by this lead.
You’ve got mechanic’s, butt cheeks! Do you know that, After a brisk 50 minutes, Dr Clarkson had finished changing his plugs? Yes, All six And set about making a mess of his oil change That went well.
Meanwhile, James was being pedantic And I was hampered by height issues.
The race to the finish was between me and the doctor.
First to start their engine, We’ve got the times They’re, saying five One hour: 13, 2 minutes for you, Yeah, 13.
25.
For me, Half a second! I may have made a bit of a mess there.
Meanwhile, I’m quite happy doing this. If you’d, like to sod off As we left Chippenham, it became clear that the pit stop hadn’t really done my Maserati much good.
That’s a great sound.
Our next challenge was in the town of Marlborough, and all I had to do was get there Got at all my dials here.
My oil temperature, minus 20 Fuel depends on what kind of corner I’m going round Time wrong.
Battery wrong Never mind Could be worse.
This time James had broken down outside a school at lunch time Won’t it go James, It’s broken.
This is humiliating.
What has he done? The best thing we can do to help James now is just go.
Go yeah! Yes, Eventually, we made it into Marlborough where the locals could sense the tension of an upcoming three way.
Duel Supercars are notoriously hard to see out of. They also have very heavy clutches and very heavy steering so which would be the easiest to park Right.
We have to park our supercars in this space against the clock And Hammond’s.
First.
Are you ready Go This space is not big enough for this car.
Is he going to hit? I’m about right, Hooray That’s a point off? Are you looking where you’re going or using the force? Yes, Two points off.
You know Ferraris That’s it I’m parked Parked.
Have you It’s perfect, I’ll call a cab and get you to the kerb.
Have a little walk down the kerb to your car? What time did it take to do that? One minute 38 7 Go Next.
It was the turn of the poorly Merak.
Eighteen years I lived in London making this a piece of cake There. You go That’s a touch That wasn’t a touch.
Is it heavy mate? Will the engine lasts as long as this manoeuvre? There Finished? That is so neat One minute, One minute, One minute exactly! .
A new Viral List Builder has just been released, and I have to say it’s a ‘MUST’ join.
