[12]
okay the rules of this are very simple
[15]
they're not allowed to use any form of
[17]
car I'm not allowed to use any form of
[18]
train and the winner is the first one to
[21]
the cafe des Perry casino square Monte
[23]
Carlo see chaps
[32]
but they'll probably get to the end of
[34]
the lane because once we're on that
[36]
train there is no way can that car be
[39]
tested Carlo it's it is impossible in an
[42]
ordinary car I may well be impossible
[45]
but this car bill db7 really that was
[54]
just a jag in drag it was an XJS in a
[57]
party from this is completely different
[61]
it's made in a brand new factory using
[64]
space-age materials and sci-fi
[66]
production techniques everything was
[71]
going fine until I reached the outskirts
[73]
of Dover where I hate traffic I don't
[92]
catch this ten o'clock ferry I'm out of
[94]
the race
[94]
[Music]
[97]
Jeremie hello where are you I'm at the
[100]
docks I'm about to get on the boat he's
[102]
already at the docks where are you
[105]
yeah we're in Guildford nation so you're
[107]
only at Guildford and I'm at the channel
[109]
give it a few hours and we'll be at
[110]
least 150 miles ahead I promise you I'm
[113]
gonna win this you're not okay I cannot
[116]
beat the train once we're on the other
[117]
side of the camera it's still think
[120]
[Music]
[134]
what a nice day it is a gorgeous day
[138]
[Music]
[144]
[Music]
[151]
really no
[155]
right it's quarter past 11 UK time which
[159]
means Jeremy has just driven off the
[161]
Seacat we're only at London Waterloo but
[165]
we're going onto the Eurostar all the
[167]
way to Paris this is where we catch up
[170]
[Music]
[178]
yes hello Jeremy I've got the shotguns
[181]
just all over I think he's been picked
[184]
by the bug the process I have they
[186]
stopped you they just keep coming
[187]
alongside and they just go quicker
[189]
quicker rubbish you're making it up this
[192]
is the great thing about driving as the
[194]
police come along in France and then
[195]
just want you to go quicker what so far
[203]
Germans had it pretty much all his own
[205]
way in his ass tonight and while we've
[206]
carried heavy bags for cold buses and
[209]
got on small trains now though things
[211]
change because we're on a big train so
[213]
we'll hit nearly 200 miles an hour on
[215]
the way from here to Dover and it's 60
[217]
miles an hour through the tunnel and
[218]
then best part of 200 miles an hour all
[220]
the way across France it is excellent
[225]
Bonjour Monsieur Clarkson Mary I want to
[228]
know where you are we are on the
[231]
Eurostar train in the enormous comfort
[233]
looking forward to the first-class lunch
[236]
I think it could be champagne I love
[239]
champagne is very much as they headed
[242]
for the Channel Tunnel
[243]
I was already in Champagne country but
[247]
it wasn't me who needed a drink
[251]
[Applause]
[253]
this is not good I've got the fuel
[255]
warning lights on this is gonna be a
[257]
Formula One style pitstop this is here
[263]
we go in the same place you ever seen a
[273]
more stupid place to put a fuel filler
[275]
cap release but a cockiness is
[278]
short-lived as the train approaches
[280]
Paris
[280]
Jeremy is already a hundred and seventy
[283]
two miles south of us and we have to get
[285]
across the city to change trains if we
[289]
get this train ties are all right if we
[292]
miss it
[293]
James and I have just 50 minutes to
[296]
catch the connection - nice
[299]
it's one minute - for French times they
[301]
are now as we speak
[302]
arriving in Paris James just think of
[305]
Jeremy arriving before us the the just
[308]
quantity of smugness my soul is prepared
[311]
it's just eating the petrol in 1b blah
[314]
all 20 gallons that was delicious you're
[317]
gonna need some more
[321]
incorporate them to be accelerating up
[323]
to 200 miles an hour and leaving one
[325]
behind in a toast will you get 200 miles
[328]
now out of your head the Train does not
[330]
go 200 miles an hour this much as fast
[334]
as a db9 it's a lot faster than you're
[336]
going to be going enjoy your trip
[341]
yeah we will will maybe order the wine
[343]
listen to get underway till tea later
[344]
bye bye
[347]
[Music]
[355]
I'm now about halfway into the journey
[358]
no backache not uncomfortable I'm not
[361]
tired my ears aren't bleeding
[363]
so this car is as comfortable as an
[367]
Aston should be
[369]
unfortunately however it doesn't matter
[371]
how good the car is it's choked by the
[374]
French speed limits
[375]
[Music]
[378]
the Aston was rained in so badly in fact
[381]
that with 200 miles to go the train tore
[384]
past now
[389]
the fight really holds up
[396]
[Music]
[409]
to lose it now
[411]
Big Bang
[415]
ah spits damn
[419]
[Music]
[420]
[Applause]
[426]
[Music]
[432]
oh that's bad I haven't no heart to
[437]
telling it's all over mate Oh choc
[444]
evening if you've noticed something here
[448]
you two look very stressed and tired I'm
[450]
very relaxed a degree of perspiration I
[452]
think the important thing that we've
[454]
proved today is that no matter how good
[456]
public transport is no matter how much
[459]
it runs like clockwork it'll never be a
[462]
match for a car
