The lads have gathered at Sidcup with “improved” versions of their amphibious cars from Series 8, Episode 3 (May 2006). Specifically:
- a Nissan pickup truck packed with foam with controls and an outboard in the bed
- a Volkswagen Westfalia to which a hull is attached
- a convertible Triumph Herald made into something not unlike a sailboat
They stand in front of their vehicles as a white-lab-coated arm reaches into frame handing Jeremy an envelope.
Jeremy Clarkson: Thank you so much. Here’s our challenge. fiddles with envelope
Richard Hammond: Come on then.
Jeremy pauses with an uncharacteristic look of concern.
James May: Is it bad?
JC: Yes. No, no. Really bad.
RH: Go on.
JC: Raises the card from the envelope and recites. You will now drive to Dover,
JM: No. Not …
JC: and then you will then cross the channel to France.
RH: That’s not serious.
JC: What is it? Twenty-two miles?
JM: peeks at the card, mumbles to RH He’s not making it up.
JC: addresses crew behind camera Mine won’t do that.
Tune in for the surprise ending.
