**A Day with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond**
We spent the day with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond at their farm, where they shared their thoughts on various cars and activities that bring them joy. The conversation started with Jeremy's favorite car, which he affectionately referred to as his "baby". He explained that it was a unique experience driving the car, comparing it to driving a ballerina in second gear. Richard joked that Jeremy had to be an Italian man or woman to drive it delicately.
The topic of Bentley cars came up, with Jeremy mentioning that one of their Bentleys featured in his TV show "Beast" but wasn't road-legal due to being a prototype. He was initially disappointed when the car was put on display in a glass box, but happily mentioned that he had bought another Bentley as a gift for himself for his 60th birthday.
Richard's girlfriend provided updates on their pets, Ari and Sansa, who get along well with each other. She also shared news about their home life, mentioning that they moved into the house almost three years ago while living in a tiny cottage. The conversation then shifted to Jeremy's vision for the farm's future, where he wants to create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors.
Jeremy mentioned his desire to recreate some of the fun activities from the TV show "Diddly Squat", such as live music nights, dancing, and quizzes at the pub. He also expressed his love for Irish folk bands and Scottish music. Richard joked that they could squeeze in a Kaye (a Scottish musical instrument) into the car park.
The conversation continued with Jeremy being asked to choose two cars from their collection as favorites. They were different in nature, but Jeremy's eyes snapped to one of them immediately. He revealed that he had chosen a car based on color alone, and Richard teased him about it.
As we prepared to leave, Jeremy handed us each a t-shirt with a Lamborghini design. One was supposed to be for Richard, who has a fondness for sand-colored outfits, while the other would suit Jeremy's golfing attire.
The day ended on a lighthearted note as we discussed cars with Jeremy and Richard, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for their love of vehicles and their enthusiasm for life.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwe've been sent on a mission by Richard Hammond to deliver these presents to Jeremy Clarkson and we're going to be using these two absolute Legends as our delivery vehicles waiting for us at diddly squat is Lisa Hogan who reveals what she thinks is Jeremy's best car and his worst as well as being in on the age-old evil versus Subaru battle Maxwell Mike men my top agents hello I have a mission good and it's important um a certain gentleman with whom I work he's old tall and fat does that narrow it down hen no no mate Jeremy he was moaning on a recent filming trip that um when we we had a tradition of buying one another gifts while we were on our travels that that I'd never bought him a gift and to be fair he had a point cuz I couldn't be bothered but I did feel bad so I have got some gifts for him I've bought them for him and I want you this is your mission to deliver them to him all right I can see one of them pking above the well now you see what he can't resist a hammer they work like catnip on him he sees in that the potential to exercise his craft and his full skill level so I want you to give him that okay um there's a little presentation back for that so you can dress it up and make it wow it's there love it a hammer in a bag I want you to give him that I've also got him this which is pink drinking booze okay that's he loves that that really does work like can it but just to sort of beef things up a bit cuz that's quite a soft drink um this will blow his mind look at that you can do that he could probably use it as a toothpick these are not a good combination Richard oh you're right too late um so I'd like you to take those to him okay to the farm drop them off um present them to him or one of his people uh and I think he'll be touched you might get tears with the good secured we put diddly squat into the satap and headed on our way now some of you might be thinking wait a minute Mike chose the Evo in the Subaru versus Evo video from a couple of weeks back and yes I did because on that day the Mitsubishi Evo was the better car on track but with Martin I had have some amazing memories with him one of my favorite videos from 2023 was our road trip to give him the proper Shakedown to the Isle of Aon in Scotland it's still one of my favorite Drive trip videos ever so it's good to get reacquainted with this car it's a really weird feeling for me driving this car because this is one of my hero cars it's not a car I ever expected to be doing a road trip in there's always that bit of anxiety when you get in your hero car as to whether it's actually going to meet expectations or be a disappointment because your expectations are so high as a car Enthusiast you know if you see something that you really love you see it in posters you see it in movies and then you get in it it's very easy for that car to let you down but this car really doesn't and it's mad because you've get a lot of people that are on this sort of Subaru versus Evo camp like you have to pick a side and I find it difficult they're so similar it's very difficult to pick a side and I don't think we actually need to these are arch rival cars historically I know Subaru people don't like Evo people and vice versa but driving an EVO round I can't think of another car that I'd rather be road tripping with Denis Subaru these two cars are heroes of the 2000s absolute JDM Legends and they should roll around together and they should be friends cuz these two cars fought the same battles together there was one other stipulation for the road trip from Richard that he made us swear we'd keep to the only thing is uh and this is the serious note the driv trb fuel bill is somewhat enormous for last month we have been spending money on fuel can we please do it in something relatively economical so despite these cars having the highest flow fuel injectors we've ever experienced I made sure to heat the boss's warning but make it into a challenge Maxwell I love these cars but I also want to take Richard seriously so I want to do a proper fuel efficiency run on the way to didly Squad you up for that yeah what do you suggest well I reckon my 2 L heavily tuned Japanese saloon car is more efficient than yours so I say we head to the nearest petrol station fill up reset the trips and then let's see which car of these uses the least fuel yeah let's give it a go maybe I can economize you and of course this means no hard accelerations no launches nice smooth economical driving what these cars were made for Mike you do realize that every pop and bang that comes out of your exhaust pipe is like two bouns right I'm afraid there's literally nothing I can do about that sadly um I'm going to blame pull position for that one see my inkling is that the map on the Subaru is slightly cleaner than that on the EVO that Evo's fuel gauge plummets but I don't know whether that's potentially a difference in the tank sizes no no I think it just drinks like a hooligan Maxwell how come your Evo's got a nice fancy stripe on the paint and mine has got nothing if you're wondering what Mike is on about thanks to today's sponsor G Technic this car has been given the crystal serum light treatment let's see how they work their magic the Evo has been treated to a crystal serum light paint protection ceramic coating which is seen as the proa version of G Technic full wack Crystal serum Ultra but our mate Dom has only treated one side of the EVO to show you how effective these Coatings can be Crystal serum light offers 80% of the professional serum performance adding gloss resisting Swirls and repelling contaminants and dirt and if you were to apply it incorrectly it can be machine polished off your car's paint work using their xo5 hydrophobic coating as well water and grime sits up on the paintwork rather than smearing all over it meaning that the vast majority of dirt can be removed with just a jet wash rather than having to get wash mitts and buckets out every time with our 50/50 split you can see how easy it is to clean the tree side versus the non-coated side next up we apply some G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass to improve wet weather visibility and finally C5 wheel armor to repel brake dust and contaminants making the wheels easier to maintain ensuring the Evo looks its best for its arrival at didly squat G10 has been an amazing partner for us over the years with their products being applied to our V10 M5 Suzuki Cappuccino Richard's pickup truck Benz 911 and my m mg ztt and considering the Evo is a proper all-weather British b-road kind of car it was the perfect new candidate for dominant team to go to town on check out G Technic products through the link in the description below thanks to G Technic for sponsoring today's video on the B roads on the really tight twisting stuff that we'll get to in the cwal the Evo is the sharper pointier b-roll black car the Subaru is still up there like in terms of the the grand scheme of cars it's very much in that ilk but it can't quite keep up with that Evo it's more brutal it feels heavier but at the same time because of that it feels more planted um Mike Maxwell is your fuel gauge still at the top I'd like to see yes but the answer is no I can see daylight between well the top of my fuel gauge and where the gauge currently is I can see black dashboard showing how the hell has that happened that is crazy we've literally done 11 miles and the fuel gaug is already moving this is not going to go well so we've pulled over to get some fancy drone shots and some nice passes to make the video look good I've switched the Subaru off cuz I know how long it takes for the Drone to fire up I think another thing to factor in is that that Evo is not the best starter or idler again I think the tune just needs cleaned up that might be why he's kept it going or he's just completely oblivious to the fact that we are running a fuel efficiency test I'm currently doing infinite miles per loving it he probably realizes now that it started back up again he probably should have shut his car off for the last 5 minutes before long we were entering the leafy B- roads of the cotsworld and I had a message from Lisa to say that she'd specifically be in the farm shop punching that into the satnav we pressed on there is another reason why I chose Martin for this road trip and it's the suspension on track those BC racing coilovers on the EVO they're like the really trick ones that have all the adjustability the guys that pull position properly set up that car for it which will have led to a chunk of that half a second difference at lap time the Subaru on the other hand has I guess it kind of Suits it the more basic VC racing coilovers that are just stiffness hardness adjustable rather than all the caster and Camber going on and that also means they're actually a bit more comfortable the coilovers on that Evo are they are hardcore they were great for track but once you're on some bumpy roads and herfordshire and the cwal that might start to wear a bit I think these coilovers the simpler ones are actually better for everyday use thank you to BC Racing for supplying us with coilovers for both cars they're both fantastic and they both do very different jobs very well but for this purpose I think I'm in the right car the Boost from this engine is now 2.1 L it's been shed bined with this short ratio gear box the amount of gear changes you have to make on these roads my God it's so quick down here I said it on Aon and it's the exact same today this Subaru on a road like this in these conditions a British B- Road when it's a bit soggy spitting rain it would eat up pretty much any super car you can throw at it even on this all Field Drive would I go as far as an sf90 quite possibly for us me Mortals maybe not Ben Collins it's so planted the engine the gearbox the all-wheel drive system the Bridgestone Potenza sports that we've got on this car and the Evo What machines these things are I was enjoying myself so much in the Subaru that I'd ended up leaving the Evo for dead something seems to have happened to the Evo I'm not sure what they're out of radio range so we need to pull over somewhere but there's no phone signal here I've got a missed call so someone's trying to pH me what the hell has happened with that Mitsubishi the hell's M I am genuinely at my happiest in life when I'm just driving a car that I like doesn't matter where I'm going doesn't matter what I'm doing when I'm just in a car that I like and I'm just cruising a long I am at peace with the world I'm at peace of life that sound that is addictive that is why this car uses so much fuel cuz you're always chasing that that turbo chatter I'm I'm still getting used to the right hand indicator literally I've turned on my wipers about eight times now trying to turn Corners if you know your JDM Cars your 90s 2000 JDM Cars all the indicators are on the right hand side and it's quite tricky to get used to it and to remember there's a cracking steam Railway up here your fancy little detour oh you know it's that the time I think we got to get to Pon Farm me I always invite people at the office to steam rallies steam Railways and for some reason they never want to come it's a shame really Maxwell can you tell me what your trip is reading please 37.5 mil my fuel gauge is saying I have used a quarter of a tank I am bag on my first line in the gauge after sorry repeat that how many miles 37.7 what are you reading uh mine's just above a quarter I thought I was going to run away with this but after seeing that I don't remember it being this consumptive right Max well you're telling me your trip said 75.7 miles yeah and you just filled up we've done the calculation from liters to gallons with 4.12 gallons of fuel which means yeah the Evo's MPG is surprisingly High 18.4 that's not my gauges always are V10 M5 and that was about there 1718 that's not too bad considering how highly it's tuned yeah better than I thought I thought it'd be like mid to loins okay well the Subaru according to that I've covered 11 18.3 kilm which is only 732 miles so according to that you've done like 2 mil more than me so I don't know what you were doing were you doing some time travel back there like what was going on it was all those burnouts we were doing is it the potentially bigger Wheels I mean every Speedo is slightly you know anomalies right well anyway doing my calculations for the superu I've got it coming out as 19.1 m per gallon so Martin sips it fuel while the Evo just tosses it all over the road I kind of knew I don't know why but I knew this car drank a lot but I didn't I actually didn't think when I saw you going along I thought no no no Martin's going to giv yeah you were definitely driving you were driving a lot crazier than I was anyway deadly squat is about a mile that way let's go find Lisa cool with the cars parked up at the farm shop and some non-alcoholic hawkson dished out we sat down with Lisa to complete our mission Lisa amazing to see you again we've come with gifts so I I gather well this is probably more of you this is from Richard so nice of him Whispering Angel why thank you and then you've got Jeremy's gift this is one gift for Jeremy yes and then feel free to open it I know have a look this is kindly gifted by Richard again and this is our other gift for Jeremy Richard thought he like that that's actually really handy you know we were going to call the farm yellow Hammer Farm because Jeremy or the farm shop because Jeremy loves to Yellow Hammers and I didn't realize there were small birds so I was going to buy like a 100 hammers with a yellow handle and just decorate the whole chop with them as a surprise okay we knew that that's why we got we trying to get close all enough I might use that I might borrow that to use on Jeremy So Lisa season 3 of Clarkson Farm was absolutely insane emotional traumatic you've cracked straight on within X how's that going yeah it's been good I we had two weeks off filming between season 2 and three and that was just really rough and then we took a little bit longer we took six weeks between Seasons three and four um and Jeremy's a sport a pub so that's going to be in season 4 that's quite a big deal I mean James May own's a pub so Jeremy's joining it now it's just Richard that needs to exactly finish the Triad well we we we need a waiter so maybe Richard could be man he has just given you ftic present what the hell so the pub is that in town is that just down the road towards bford which is Over Yonder okay and it's a like a full restoration is it ready to go it's sort of ready to go we actually have a we have a wedding this weekend oh wow so we're going to do that and then we're going to close it down for a while and then open whenever we can hopefully late summer okay yeah my favorite part of the recent series was the mushrooms how are the mushrooms doing prolific yeah it was it was crazy to watch how they just blew up amazing it was like you know when you go scuba diving yes and then you suddenly get into the water and there's this huge amount of coral and color underneath and you just walk in it was it was extraordinary so yeah they are prolific so we got the pub anything else that's being added for the next next series uh yes okay animals maybe sticking to pigs we got pigs we've got cows well I could tell you all the spoilers but that wouldn't be fair for people would it well we can we can bleep things out just just give me one we'll bleep it out I have a gift of for Jeremy let's put it that way okay he doesn't think he wants them but he does so what is it like here when Jeremy goes away to film stuff like The Grand Tour and his and his other shows does it kind of calm down or is it just pedal to the metal whether he's here or not here it's like a holiday when he's not here really literally everyone just gets on with their jobs really easily Caleb and I work together you know we do all the tagging of the pigs there's no drama it's just harmonious so harmonious but and then we miss him after about a week okay after about a week yeah I'm just sad it's over to be honest and that he's not going away anymore do you feel has he influenced you carwise were you a car girl beforehand or not so much no I mean I had um my first boyfriend had an AR Romeo Spider cool um and then yeah I always like Jens interceptors very cool yeah they are my big ones um and otherwise you know an old classic Mark uhhuh but otherwise a Tob basically okay but you've just turned up in the F typ which I know is a fairly recent addition so is that is that a shared car between you and Jeremy's car um and I I it's fine I like it but it's fine but I have my range over around here if I I'm more of a Porsche girl now to be honest interesting where's that come from I've always liked Porsches I used to I used to borrow friends I used to drop to the airport you'd go to New York for the weekend see his girlfriend and I drop him off and I just had it all weekend I loved it you go is there a car within Jeremy stable that you really really like and one that you really really hate I love the Excellence okay CU still going we haven't seen that for a while it's still going so you know it's half Landover Discovery and then half um Mar I think it's yeah the Merc but so you feel like you know you're driving through the fields and you're in you're in a four-wheel drive but actually you're baring okay so I love that that's my favorite I love the Lincoln okay that's a beauty and it's just you know you just so smooth and long and beautiful the color is fantastic I think that's potentially an exclusive that he's kept that yeah I don't think that's out there so let's bleep that no that's perfect thank you okay well do you know why I did suggest who got it because it has the original Cartier clock that they used to put on in all their cars and I just said look just take the clock okay that's more valuable than the car but I think the car came with the clock okay so what's one you're not a fan of getting into his Alpha is nice but it's you have to drive it like a ballerina second gear always gets it's a crunchy one isn't it so yeah it's for Little Italian hands so and I can do it but I just get nervous cuz I hate that sound do you know it's the question I get asked the most because um you threw me the keys to that Alpha last time we were here and I got in quite a lot of trouble for it we thought we had permission we then ended up kind of not having permission permission Mission well you didn't break it no no I it you crunch it a couple of times I did crunch it into see men can't drive that car so much so when Jeremy's driving it I just so you you caress it in second gear You've Got The Touch for it it's yeah it's like you need to be you know a Italian man a man or a woman delicate my one what happened to the Bentley cuz that featured in the in the show Beast yes did that go back to Bentley has he still got it what's that situation that was well it wasn't road legal because it was Prototype so we only drove it around the farm and everyone loved us and then it became so popular cuz I kept on putting on social media it became so popular Bentley took it back and they put it in a glass box so a bit disappointed by that but Jeremy did buy another Bentley as a present for himself for his 60th not as cool though okay and then this is from my girlfriend two updates one the dogs how are they get Ari and Sansa really well I almost would have bought them up here but it just would have been Madness are this food they can smell and you know but they're good good and then the house house and house is that fully built now fully finished yeah we moved in almost three years ago oh wow which is while we were living in a tiny Cottage yeah well the last time we were here you were in that Cottage and it was all being foundation and everything yeah yeah it's finished R Great my God okay outside of TV outside of Jeremy what changes do you want to see happen to the farm where would you like to see all of this going forward in the next couple of years to be honest I mean this is my duel in the crown it is just so I mean that view it's not a great day today but I just everyone comes up here and they just sit here for hours there's no need for them to move on and even though there's like loads of people everyone there's just a really nice feeling and everyone really enjoys being here and that makes me incredibly happy so if we can recreate something with a bit of the diddly D at the pub that would be ace and we were talking like live mic nights dancing quizzes all a bit of a hulie yeah games um Aunt Sally whatever that is I love a bit of an Irish folk band to be fair with a little drummy thing and BR yeah yeah all that love that can do a Scottish Kaye as well love a Kay is there the floor space for that ah you can always squeez in a Kaye can't you maybe a drive trip Kaye sometime next yeah cool you're on okay thanks for having us we've got one more question which is background in the car park okay I just want you to decide on two cars which one you like the best up for that are they different or are they same they're very different okay I just want to see which one just snaps to your eye I would have that one and if I just go for the color don't judge me that's fine okay that's fine and oh just before hang on we go I have a little t-shirt for Richard oh wow it's a Lambo oh there's a trade going on here yes there we go I didn't get size small I got size medium okay I think that will suit him just fine yeah and then I know he does like a bit of sand so you know he with his I thought with his sand Safari outfit well do you know what he's turned into a bit of a golfer and I gather he likes a bucket half when he goes golfing so there you go that's for him as well and I got some Gin but it's in the shop okay these will go straight back to Richard he'll appreciate I bet they will thank you Lisa Subaru or EVO got to be the MIT be Evo EXC I thought we were Pals I didn't it's nice but I me you color okay Lisa Hogan has spokenwe've been sent on a mission by Richard Hammond to

somewhere but there's no phone signal here I've got a missed call so someone's trying to pH me what the hell has happened with that Mitsubishi the hell's M I am genuinely at my happiest in life when I'm just driving a car that I like doesn't matter where I'm going doesn't matter what I'm doing when I'm just in a car that I like and I'm just cruising a long I am at peace with the world I'm at peace of life that sound that is addictive that is why this car uses so much fuel cuz you're always chasing that that turbo chatter I'm I'm still getting used to the right hand indicator literally I've turned on my wipers about eight times now trying to turn Corners if you know your JDM Cars your 90s 2000 JDM Cars all the indicators are on the right hand side and it's quite tricky to get used to it and to remember there's a cracking steam Railway up here your fancy little detour oh you know it's that the time I think we got to get to Pon Farm me I always invite people at the office to steam rallies steam Railways and for some reason they never want to come it's a shame really Maxwell can you tell me what your trip is reading please 37.5 mil my fuel gauge is saying I have used a quarter of a tank I am bag on my first line in the gauge after sorry repeat that how many miles 37.7 what are you reading uh mine's just above a quarter I thought I was going to run away with this but after seeing that I don't remember it being this consumptive right Max well you're telling me your trip said 75.7 miles yeah and you just filled up we've done the calculation from liters to gallons with 4.12 gallons of fuel which means yeah the Evo's MPG is surprisingly High 18.4 that's not my gauges always are V10 M5 and that was about there 1718 that's not too bad considering how highly it's tuned yeah better than I thought I thought it'd be like mid to loins okay well the Subaru according to that I've covered 11 18.3 kilm which is only 732 miles so according to that you've done like 2 mil more than me so I don't know what you were doing were you doing some time travel back there like what was going on it was all those burnouts we were doing is it the potentially bigger Wheels I mean every Speedo is slightly you know anomalies right well anyway doing my calculations for the superu I've got it coming out as 19.1 m per gallon so Martin sips it fuel while the Evo just tosses it all over the road I kind of knew I don't know why but I knew this car drank a lot but I didn't I actually didn't think when I saw you going along I thought no no no Martin's going to giv yeah you were definitely driving you were driving a lot crazier than I was anyway deadly squat is about a mile that way let's go find Lisa cool with the cars parked up at the farm shop and some non-alcoholic hawkson dished out we sat down with Lisa to complete our mission Lisa amazing to see you again we've come with gifts so I I gather well this is probably more of you this is from Richard so nice of him Whispering Angel why thank you and then you've got Jeremy's gift this is one gift for Jeremy yes and then feel free to open it I know have a look this is kindly gifted by Richard again and this is our other gift for Jeremy Richard thought he like that that's actually really handy you know we were going to call the farm yellow Hammer Farm because Jeremy or the farm shop because Jeremy loves to Yellow Hammers and I didn't realize there were small birds so I was going to buy like a 100 hammers with a yellow handle and just decorate the whole chop with them as a surprise okay we knew that that's why we got we trying to get close all enough I might use that I might borrow that to use on Jeremy So Lisa season 3 of Clarkson Farm was absolutely insane emotional traumatic you've cracked straight on within X how's that going yeah it's been good I we had two weeks off filming between season 2 and three and that was just really rough and then we took a little bit longer we took six weeks between Seasons three and four um and Jeremy's a sport a pub so that's going to be in season 4 that's quite a big deal I mean James May own's a pub so Jeremy's joining it now it's just Richard that needs to exactly finish the Triad well we we we need a waiter so maybe Richard could be man he has just given you ftic present what the hell so the pub is that in town is that just down the road towards bford which is Over Yonder okay and it's a like a full restoration is it ready to go it's sort of ready to go we actually have a we have a wedding this weekend oh wow so we're going to do that and then we're going to close it down for a while and then open whenever we can hopefully late summer okay yeah my favorite part of the recent series was the mushrooms how are the mushrooms doing prolific yeah it was it was crazy to watch how they just blew up amazing it was like you know when you go scuba diving yes and then you suddenly get into the water and there's this huge amount of coral and color underneath and you just walk in it was it was extraordinary so yeah they are prolific so we got the pub anything else that's being added for the next next series uh yes okay animals maybe sticking to pigs we got pigs we've got cows well I could tell you all the spoilers but that wouldn't be fair for people would it well we can we can bleep things out just just give me one we'll bleep it out I have a gift of for Jeremy let's put it that way okay he doesn't think he wants them but he does so what is it like here when Jeremy goes away to film stuff like The Grand Tour and his and his other shows does it kind of calm down or is it just pedal to the metal whether he's here or not here it's like a holiday when he's not here really literally everyone just gets on with their jobs really easily Caleb and I work together you know we do all the tagging of the pigs there's no drama it's just harmonious so harmonious but and then we miss him after about a week okay after about a week yeah I'm just sad it's over to be honest and that he's not going away anymore do you feel has he influenced you carwise were you a car girl beforehand or not so much no I mean I had um my first boyfriend had an AR Romeo Spider cool um and then yeah I always like Jens interceptors very cool yeah they are my big ones um and otherwise you know an old classic Mark uhhuh but otherwise a Tob basically okay but you've just turned up in the F typ which I know is a fairly recent addition so is that is that a shared car between you and Jeremy's car um and I I it's fine I like it but it's fine but I have my range over around here if I I'm more of a Porsche girl now to be honest interesting where's that come from I've always liked Porsches I used to I used to borrow friends I used to drop to the airport you'd go to New York for the weekend see his girlfriend and I drop him off and I just had it all weekend I loved it you go is there a car within Jeremy stable that you really really like and one that you really really hate I love the Excellence okay CU still going we haven't seen that for a while it's still going so you know it's half Landover Discovery and then half um Mar I think it's yeah the Merc but so you feel like you know you're driving through the fields and you're in you're in a four-wheel drive but actually you're baring okay so I love that that's my favorite I love the Lincoln okay that's a beauty and it's just you know you just so smooth and long and beautiful the color is fantastic I think that's potentially an exclusive that he's kept that yeah I don't think that's out there so let's bleep that no that's perfect thank you okay well do you know why I did suggest who got it because it has the original Cartier clock that they used to put on in all their cars and I just said look just take the clock okay that's more valuable than the car but I think the car came with the clock okay so what's one you're not a fan of getting into his Alpha is nice but it's you have to drive it like a ballerina second gear always gets it's a crunchy one isn't it so yeah it's for Little Italian hands so and I can do it but I just get nervous cuz I hate that sound do you know it's the question I get asked the most because um you threw me the keys to that Alpha last time we were here and I got in quite a lot of trouble for it we thought we had permission we then ended up kind of not having permission permission Mission well you didn't break it no no I it you crunch it a couple of times I did crunch it into see men can't drive that car so much so when Jeremy's driving it I just so you you caress it in second gear You've Got The Touch for it it's yeah it's like you need to be you know a Italian man a man or a woman delicate my one what happened to the Bentley cuz that featured in the in the show Beast yes did that go back to Bentley has he still got it what's that situation that was well it wasn't road legal because it was Prototype so we only drove it around the farm and everyone loved us and then it became so popular cuz I kept on putting on social media it became so popular Bentley took it back and they put it in a glass box so a bit disappointed by that but Jeremy did buy another Bentley as a present for himself for his 60th not as cool though okay and then this is from my girlfriend two updates one the dogs how are they get Ari and Sansa really well I almost would have bought them up here but it just would have been Madness are this food they can smell and you know but they're good good and then the house house and house is that fully built now fully finished yeah we moved in almost three years ago oh wow which is while we were living in a tiny Cottage yeah well the last time we were here you were in that Cottage and it was all being foundation and everything yeah yeah it's finished R Great my God okay outside of TV outside of Jeremy what changes do you want to see happen to the farm where would you like to see all of this going forward in the next couple of years to be honest I mean this is my duel in the crown it is just so I mean that view it's not a great day today but I just everyone comes up here and they just sit here for hours there's no need for them to move on and even though there's like loads of people everyone there's just a really nice feeling and everyone really enjoys being here and that makes me incredibly happy so if we can recreate something with a bit of the diddly D at the pub that would be ace and we were talking like live mic nights dancing quizzes all a bit of a hulie yeah games um Aunt Sally whatever that is I love a bit of an Irish folk band to be fair with a little drummy thing and BR yeah yeah all that love that can do a Scottish Kaye as well love a Kay is there the floor space for that ah you can always squeez in a Kaye can't you maybe a drive trip Kaye sometime next yeah cool you're on okay thanks for having us we've got one more question which is background in the car park okay I just want you to decide on two cars which one you like the best up for that are they different or are they same they're very different okay I just want to see which one just snaps to your eye I would have that one and if I just go for the color don't judge me that's fine okay that's fine and oh just before hang on we go I have a little t-shirt for Richard oh wow it's a Lambo oh there's a trade going on here yes there we go I didn't get size small I got size medium okay I think that will suit him just fine yeah and then I know he does like a bit of sand so you know he with his I thought with his sand Safari outfit well do you know what he's turned into a bit of a golfer and I gather he likes a bucket half when he goes golfing so there you go that's for him as well and I got some Gin but it's in the shop okay these will go straight back to Richard he'll appreciate I bet they will thank you Lisa Subaru or EVO got to be the MIT be Evo EXC I thought we were Pals I didn't it's nice but I me you color okay Lisa Hogan has spoken\n"
