Ambitious but rubbish!
Series nine continues with episode seven of thirteen!
Spy photographers stake out car factories and test tracks for weeks to get a picture of a new prototype, and car magazines are willing to pay thousands for the right photo.Tonight, Vicki goes undercover with Britain?s leading spy photographer as he goes on the trail of the elusive new Aston Martin to be used in the next Bond movie. When they attract some unwanted attention from security, can they talk themselves out of trouble?
Meanwhile, Tom reports from a remote island off the south coast of Japan about the car of the future. Yakushima Island has been used for two years by Honda to test the FCX ? a car that runs on hydrogen, and whose only emission is water. This island is motoring?s Jurassic Park ? it?s basically a huge lump of rock populated by 7,000-year-old trees and some inquisitive monkeys. However, the range of extreme weather it experiences makes it ideal for developing a car. Tom files the first-ever TV road-test of this experimental road car, which is worth ?1 million.
Nick Freeman is the lawyer celebrities turn to when they?ve been charged with speeding. He counts David Beckham, Sir Alex Ferguson and Dwight Yorke amongst his clients. We get an exclusive ?access-all-areas? pass to his working day, get the inside line on his recent case with footballer Lee Bowyer, and find out how Nick is now planning to make it easier for members of the public to benefit from his legal expertise.
Resident speed demon Tiff is in the South of France test driving a new 200mph Corvette ? and also racing the Volkswagen Golf GTi against a Skoda Octavia vRS? backwards!
Jason Plato tests the eagerly anticipated Volkswagen Eos ? a brand new coupe with a retracting hard roof ? around the Olympic marathon course of Athens.
UPDATE 15/5/06:
Chris Evan's former breakfast show radio sidekick, Holly Samos, joins the team and reports from the start line of the Gumball 3000. It's a celebrity-packed 3000 mile driving challenge, and Holly interviews the stars as they prepare to depart Pall Mall in a convoy of supercars worth ?5 million. DJ Tim Westwood gets flirty, Maggot from Goldie Lookin' Chain shows off his replica A-Team van and the police get angry about the 18 Ferraris, 17 Porsches and 11 Lamborghinis as they smoke their tyres through.
