This thing's bloody awesome.
Listen to that bellow.
This thing squats on its haunches.
This is what it's built to do.
Every crackle, pop and bang is just connected to every synapse and sinew in me.
Oh, no.
This is like a first date for me, and on a first date,
you don't want a fat, balding uncle tagging along.
So what I'm gonna do now... is lose him.
It's Hammer Time! Shock and awe!
It's Bond versus Bourne.
(HORNS BLARING)
He's got five litres. I've only got 2.3.
Is he going twice as fast? No, he is not.
Corner coming up. There's no need to panic any more in a Mustang,
because, for the first time,
the Mustang has independent rear suspension.
Ooh! (LAUGHS)
The cornering speeds this thing can achieve... beggar belief.
(LAUGHS) I'm in a car chase in a Mustang.
I am Steve McQueen.
Try that on.
I've got it in Sport Mode,
which makes the exhaust pop and bang.
(POPPING)
Woohoo! Mine! (LAUGHS)
RICHARD: Oh, my God!
Flat out, yeah.
And it still grips!
What is the point of traction control on this thing?
It's like putting a nymphomania control on a nun.
(HORN BLARES)
Where's he gone?
How did he do that? How did he get away from me
in something from the 18th century?
The Mustang, well, that's for cruising down
the Pacific Coast Highway, listening to Don Henley.
This is for storming up the Stelvio Pass,
listening to the Clash.
RICHARD: Meanwhile, having got rid of the ape,
I was back on my sightseeing tour.
This is our Cheddar Gorge.
Obviously it's not as big as your gorge.
The Grand Canyon is bigger.
Well, it's longer and deeper... and wider.
Mm. But it doesn't have any cheese in it.
Why can't you just leave me alone?
I'm just saying, everything in America comes with cheese,
apart from the Grand Canyon.
Whereas this canyon does come with cheese, and it's delicious.
-Here, have some. -I don't want cheese.
-It's better than Monterey Jack in a tube. -You're ruining this!
No, you are, because you are telling everyone
that the Mustang is better than the Focus.
RICHARD: At this point, I decided to abandon my tour
and head for the nearest airfield...
...to teach Clarkson a lesson.
(REVVING)
Oh, he's away first.
The most incredible launch control in the world!
Come on!
Come on, Jeremy. Come on. You're winning.
RICHARD: Oh, reeling him in!
(LAUGHS)
No, no, no! That's simply impossible!
Well, bless him for trying.
