The presenters, based at Knockhill Racing Circuit in Fife, were set the task of building a Caterham Seven Kit car from scratch and drive past the starting line, faster than the time it would take The Stig to reach the track from the Caterham showroom in Caterham using a pre-built Caterham Seven Kit car. The presenters won the challenge because The Stig was stopped by the traffic police just 3 miles from the finish. (The Stig "exercised his right to remain silent," and was taken into custody.)
Chris and Matt are tasked with finding the perfect all-weather convertible supercar. Matt brought a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder and Chris brought a Porsche 911 Turbo S convertible. are told to report in Las Vegas for a series of challenges along a 400-mile road trip from Las Vegas to the Sierra Nevada mountains. The first challenge, named "Spring", was held at Spring Mountain Raceway, where they have to complete a lap of the track with the roof down at the beginning and finish with the roof up. Along the way, a firetruck is prepared to simulate the effects of a spring rain. Next, there was the second challenge named "Summer", where they have to switch cars (written as "take a vacation from your car", in keeping with the summer vacation spirit) and drive across Death Valley. Before the third challenge arrived, have to spend the night at Darwin, California. The following day, the third challenge, named "Fall" arrived, where they have to freewheel down a section of a slippery mountain road. As they climbed higher into the mountains, the final challenge arrived at Mammoth Mountain where they have to race across the snow. On the final challenge, Matt initially made good progress as Chris' Porsche got temporarily stuck, but Chris later caught up as the Lamborghini's low ground clearance left Matt stuck until he chained the Lamborghini's rear tyres. Despite this Chris wins the race narrowly.
Paddy, thinking that he could find the ultimate family car on the cheap, set out to buy a 1995 Daimler hearse for just 1,300. Over at the track, challenges include a "last space drag race" against Britain's best-selling family cars; Chris drives a Volkswagen Touran, while Freddie drives a Kia Sportage (Damon Hill makes an appearance as guest driver in a Citroën Berlingo), which the hearse comfortably wins due to its 240-horsepower, 4.0 liter 6-cylinder engine. A boot space challenge followed to test for practicality, which the hearse won again. A few days later, Chris and Freddie decided to modify the hearse and meet at Tenby. The hearse sported a 4.0 liter V8 engine from a Lexus LS400, alongside a host of other modifications from full respray to Polestar Blue to amenities such as a ball pit and a "naughty step". Dubbed "The Overtaker", the presenters have to do a family holiday in Wales. First, they head for the local beach, where they have to beat a rival holidaymaker in a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG estate; Paddy claims he scored a moral victory due to the hearse's cheap price. Next, they go to Walters Arena for their next challenge: a race to the campsite against Land Rover Discovery driven by a family of Stigs, where the hearse tipped over. The next day, the presenters mended the hearse and met at Mendips Raceway for their final challenge: banger racing to test the car's safety, which Paddy insisted on doing, with Chris and Freddie serving as Paddy's outriders; one of the competitors is Sabine Schmitz in a Volvo estate. Despite the harsh treatment the hearse received, its engine still runs by the end of the show, much to Paddy's joy.
In a bid to beat Land Rover Defender's off-road capabilities with a much lower cost (a new Defender costs 70,000), Paddy decided to build an off-road vehicle dubbed the "Dirty Rascal", a combination of Daihatsu Fourtrak's powertrain atop a Bedford Rascal bodyshell and told to report to the Millbrook Proving Ground. Chris and Freddie praised the work done to the car and the fact that it only cost 7,000 to build the whole car, amenities included. First, the car is put to the test against two of the cheapest brand new 4x4s available for sale in the UK, the Suzuki Jimny and the Dacia Duster in a timed lap challenge. The Dirty Rascal initially made good progress, but soon stalled. Next, Paddy heads for Scotland for a 20 kilometer off-road race against a squad of fully-armed former British Special Forces. After getting bogged down by a smoke bomb from the Forces, the Dirty Rascal caught up to the troops by following the nearby river and some gravel tracks; however, the car came just moments later than the Forces.
The first challenge was to see if they could exceed 140 mph. May won by reaching 140, though the Jaguar broke down and had to have its oil and water replaced. The Starion, thanks to a modified turbocharger and some accidental weight shedding, achieved 119 mph, beating the BMW's 115 mph. A test of ride comfort was then carried out; each presenter drove their car at 30 mph over a cobbled road with a bowl of water in their lap, losing points for every ounce spilt. The Jaguar won again, and while Hammond's sporty BMW did poorly, Clarkson fared even worse; the Starion's ride was so hard that the manual gearbox was of no consequence. The Stig then set a lap time for each car on the Alpine testing track, where the Starion narrowly beat the BMW. The Jaguar came last and lost its engine oil again. The three presenters were next asked to drive from Millbrook to the QI club in Oxford; points were awarded for the order of arrival, deducted for breakdowns, and fuel economy was measured. May's Jaguar broke down so many times that he eventually gave up, managing just 8 miles per gallon. Clarkson beat Hammond to the club, albeit with poorer fuel consumption.
The third challenge was tailgating a passenger car as closely as possible. Thanks to the Suzuki's flat front, Hammond came close to a centimetre. Clarkson crashed the Transit into the back of the car, and May's LDV was completely outpaced. Next the presenters were told to replace their driver's side doors. Hammond and May were able to remove their doors easily, while Clarkson simply rammed his off with the LDV. He then used tape to fix a new door on, while Hammond successfully fitted his with bolts; May eventually ran out of time. The fifth challenge tested how long a burglar took to break into the rear door of each van; the burglar failed to open Hammond's, smashed open May's in half a minute, but took only 10 seconds to break into the Transit. Finally the presenters were tasked with outrunning a police patrol car driven by the Stig on their test track. Clarkson won the event, which also featured a spectacular roll-over by Hammond trying to achieve the Scandinavian flick while going round the first corner. Hammond, however, still won the overall challenge. Winner: Hammond
During their journey they were given a series of challenges, which included the cars being driven around a track by The Stig's overweight "American cousin," doing 0 to 50 to 0 without over-running the track and thereby crashing into a river full of alligators, and camping a night in a field eating only roadkill. They also had to paint slogans on each other's car in order to get them shot at or arrested as they drove across Alabama. When the three pulled into a petrol station to refuel, the station's owner called a gang and attacked them and their film crew with stones and chased them out of town.
In an argument with the producers of Top Gear, the presenters claimed British Leyland did produce some good cars, despite being on strike most of the time and not producing cars at all. So, they were given a budget of 1,200 (of their own money) to buy a British Leyland in which they would face a series of challenges, for which, instead of points, they would earn money back. These mostly took place at the MIRA proving ground, though the last one was at the Top Gear test track, where they tried to see how much of the track they could complete whilst their cars were full of water. Hammond went over the budget to get a 1974 Triumph Dolomite Sprint for 1,250, Clarkson got a 1981 Rover SD1 for 1,100 which consequently lost two doors in unrelated incidents, whereas May spent 1,000 and acquired a 1978 Princess that was likened to a wedge of cheese. The boys also reproduced the intro of Money from the various squeaks and clunks their cars made. After all the challenges, Clarkson summed up the money and declared May the winner of the challenge, as not only did he get back all that he had paid, he made a 20 profit. Winner: May
The presenters were challenged with proving to the show's producers that in order to be a true "petrol head", you need to have owned an Alfa Romeo. So, they were each given 1,000 to buy their own Alfa Romeo. Clarkson bought a 1989 Alfa Romeo 75 3.0 V6 (for 450), Hammond bought a 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 (for 1,000), and May bought a 1996 Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0 TwinSpark (for 995). The cars were put to a series of tests, which included participating in a track day on the Rockingham Motor Speedway road course, featuring their cars on a calendar which they must sell at a newsstand, and then lastly entering an Alfa Romeo exclusive Concours d'Elegance event, traveling as far as 80 miles to reach the event.
During the journey to the Concours, Hammond had to manually send coolant into his engine using a hand cranked pump (due to a broken water pump during the track day challenge). This eventually broke, and his engine seized, forcing May to tow him. After crashing into May a few times, May got fed up and abandoned him. Clarkson helped to tow Hammond despite his gearbox nearing the end of its life, and the two sabotaged May's engine bay with cheese. After the judges finished, James was awarded 74 out of a possible 150 points while Jeremy and Richard were given 23.5 and 9 respectively - the lowest scores in Concours history. 2ff7e9595c
