back in the summer the producers of Top
[2]
Gear gave each of us 1500 pounds which
[5]
was a nice gesture very nice but then
[6]
they said we each had to go out and
[8]
spend our money on a Porsche that meant
[10]
going through a eBay and auctions and so
[12]
on and buying a proper Porsche for less
[14]
than 1,500 quid yes and then when we've
[17]
done it we all had to meet up in the
[18]
city of London without porches and we'd
[21]
be set a series of challenges to find
[23]
out which one of us have got the best
[24]
deal here's what happened this is
[29]
Exchange Square in the heart of Europe's
[31]
biggest financial district it's the
[33]
spiritual home of hedges stocks futures
[36]
and of course Porsches they're probably
[40]
not ones like this it's what I bought
[43]
though a 23 year old 9 to 4 the Porsche
[46]
that was designed for everyone I didn't
[49]
spend 1,500 quid on my 90 for the name
[52]
spend per gram 750 quid from the Porsche
[57]
750 quid on the lights pop up I was
[59]
feeling pleased until I saw what James
[62]
had bought you've got a nice bar for in
[68]
white this little looks all right for
[70]
like a really big distance what I mean
[72]
from a distance looks all right person
[74]
cycling this has got a 2.5 liter 4
[77]
cylinder engine it's a proper Porsche
[80]
developed engine whereas I think your
[83]
car has an engine from a VW bats is
[85]
negative on this facing him he got one
[88]
of those to be honest we won't fact his
[90]
nibs had been rather more ambitious haha
[94]
he's got a 9 to 8
[97]
only a nine to eight no every man
[100]
Porsche for me this one has a 4.7 liter
[104]
v8 or a most timeless classic a proper
[110]
Porsche Jeremy you got a nine to eight
[114]
on our budget they need this rather
[116]
faded ruined ruined exterior he beats up
[120]
mass of pure arthritis now that have a
[124]
look at this Oh have you never look at
[125]
this table young no no these are the
[129]
water bottles of which are a little bit
[130]
necessary ah got yet in order to make it
[134]
kind of big may have overreached
[136]
yourself of it well I've seen one for
[138]
more than this advertised as spares can
[140]
we have an envelope please thank you
[142]
very much thank you
[144]
veteran cars can make it from London to
[146]
Brighton but can you no no absolutely do
[151]
Oh
[151]
five points alas for each time you have
[153]
to open the bonnet on route but throw
[157]
the bonnet away your grand debut on the
[159]
seafront to receive your next challenge
[160]
assuming you make it dark jeremy wide
[165]
range of warning lights on already
[168]
we are on the way to Brighton in our
[173]
porches oh my god I've got steam Jeremy
[178]
breaking down guys have got a lot of
[181]
steam coming out of the bonnet the dear
[184]
Jeremy's car doesn't this be genuinely
[187]
broken haha its I can't see anything
[193]
I've had steam from the front water from
[196]
underneath and now I've got smoke from
[198]
the back an hour later we were just
[201]
outside Brighton and guess what's
[203]
missing from this picture a rendezvous
[206]
point was the seafront where there was
[208]
still no sign of Clarkson
[210]
I think he'll still turn up why don't we
[214]
have a look at the next challenge
[216]
yeah work out whether or not he's likely
[218]
to be in it
[219]
never challenge man thank you very much
[221]
thank you okay challenge to its max
[227]
Porsche time you must use the change
[229]
from your 1500 pound budget to modify
[233]
your car and generally improve it
[235]
reconvene at the top gear base where an
[238]
independent adjudicator from the Porsche
[241]
owners club will judge your work a
[243]
change have you got any change
[245]
I've got a bit of change
[247]
yeah very confident Jeremy has got a
[248]
check I really doubt it
[250]
and speaking of the devil the past mr.
[253]
cars been all day but still using more
[256]
fuel and mining and sitting on there
[258]
what have you got to say about your car
[260]
the bullet hasn't been up well there are
[265]
three shapes there so presumably
[266]
Jeremy's car made it but let's start by
[269]
seeing what changes James has made it
[271]
looks exactly the same this button
[273]
though it's bathroom okay so the
[281]
interior was a Homebase bodge job but my
[284]
secret weapon was the gleaming condition
[286]
of my engine bay how did you clean it
[289]
with a man he's just spent his money on
[292]
a man you think that the Porsche judge
[294]
man coming down it's just gonna be
[296]
interested in concourse Ani
[298]
yeah I'd forgotten it was a Porsche
[300]
judging he'll be that the old Pringle
[302]
probably been thinking ahead Ian right
[305]
probably done that in fact Hammond had
[307]
given his nine to four sporting
[309]
credentials it didn't deserve did those
[316]
with a bit help from an art college
[317]
friend you see there the golf racing
[320]
colors let's see what jeremy has
[322]
achieved with no money blackboard it's
[326]
Jeremy it's locked
[327]
you're supposed to put the under seal on
[329]
the bottom of the car you know there's
[331]
old Capri the black pump that's what I
[333]
was going to I thought I'd copy it right
[335]
only I went over a bit
[339]
but laughing at each other was not a
[341]
scientific measure our efforts had to be
[344]
judged by the chairman of the judges of
[346]
the famously fastidious Porsche owners
[349]
Club of Great Britain while the judges
[352]
retired to do their scoring he dived
[354]
into the next challenge all your cars
[357]
have a sporting pedigree each Porsche
[359]
must set a lap time in the hands of the
[361]
Stig you will gain a point for every
[363]
second under 1 minute 35 lose a point
[366]
for every second over
[378]
145 the smoke there James
[384]
yeah well it was like like the only of
[386]
two cylinders left so it's gonna be a
[388]
bit lighter so he did it for three 1:43
[390]
that's faster than good
[396]
all of that effort yes all of those
[398]
low-profile tires yes slower than his
[401]
his briefing left it standard it
[403]
would've been a lot slower on another
[405]
next challenge is called elevenses each
[407]
driver must use his porsche to see who
[409]
can create the longest number 11 skid
[411]
mark on the track that is 31 feet
[425]
amazing hi give me the end it is 35 feet
[431]
he's beaten you
[438]
the region of China just near Tibet
[441]
North Face guy you'd let me go or
[443]
someone write a Avant this is all just
[446]
rubbish that's not an 11 is it 39 40 41
[450]
42 yards the judges would have to decide
[456]
on Jeremy's Asian number 11 but in the
[459]
meantime we had our final challenge to
[461]
think about we hope you enjoyed owning
[464]
your forces each of us to sell your cars
[467]
and poets will be awarded for the money
[471]
you make over the fifteen hundred pounds
[472]
you originally spent this much this
[478]
course here we go so after all of that
[480]
after the in Evans is and his Tibetan
[482]
squiggle was disqualified no points
[484]
Arabic this is where we stand with this
[486]
course James and I separated by just two
[488]
points on 27 and 29 then there is a bit
[491]
of a gap he's struggling - 120 - surely
[497]
everything to play for here really it
[501]
kind of depends on how much we got when
[503]
we sold the car so James how much did
[505]
you sell you 944 for 1,400 pounds
[515]
the news you lost a hundred pounds
[517]
that's a hundred points off there so
[519]
that puts your - 73 - 73 so what about
[523]
you haven't really not haven't sold it
[530]
haven't or couldn't bit about a suspect
[533]
nobody would buy it from you so well the
[535]
point is I think I'm about to lose 1,500
[538]
I sold mine for 1,800 pounds nobody
[547]
bought that heap of young I sold it
[550]
espares I got 1200 pounds for like the
[553]
wings and the doors and that was their
[555]
bit short so what I've did what I did
[558]
well you're not gonna believe it okay
[560]
are you ready for this ready yes and
[563]
I've sold these already that's what you
[565]
sold 600 quid look Jackie cards your
[571]
living room yes
[578]
