1980s BMW Convertibles | Top Gear | BBC

do you hear that sound again hymens cheap after-market alarm matched his cheap aftermarket wheels they should leech into like dry rot they leach into the system as wires going everywhere crazy just take it all off no no no cuz otherwise you could have stolen the car by just taking the alarm off I mean the world that's stupid in the 80s yeah Jeremy and I decided to abandon happen and have a race from naught to 100 and then back to naught again so we could test our cars power and brakes here are the vital statistics 2.5 litre straight-six 170 horsepower or at least when it was new it may have lost a few jeremy has a 2.5 litre straight-six with a hundreds of 70 horsepower or at least when it was new you may have lost a few since then the difference he's got a big slab of concrete in the boot it's not the paving stone in the back and worried about it's the automatic gearbox doing the drag race with an autos like the 100-meter sprint in wellies full of tadpoles yes but a steering wheel wobble coming in no concrete is the answer there we go north of 16 I was about 25 seconds must be put 200 there it is there it is my brakes no brakes this is no stopping they stopped the gap between our supposedly identical BMWs while staggering 78 79 80 81 281 yards there is another conclusion we can draw from this which is what well that as you would expect I've done this property and I have proved myself to be better than you at buying secondhand BMWs well you brakes are better and my engines better and then my gearbox is better speed isn't everything is it not after the race we got Hammonds car going again and went to awaking the Dead style forensics lab to find out in great detail what sort of life our cars had had you know the the company were using to do this mmm-hmm I called manlove forensics are there they are moving on I do think why they killed it yeah the boss is called John man laughs oh not many phones called a memories for you they've actually already discovered that your car used to belong to a Muslim man from Birmingham well they can tell that just from swabbing the seeds no they found this letter addressed to Jamia Masjid from a mosque in burning so good they argue a good but the test they were doing went far beyond looking for old envelopes but you know I'm worried about most of all that they find in my color well gentlemen's relish well I call I'm gentlemen's relish are you all right oh I'm gonna stuff rehearse y'all after many hours the boss came over with the results right man left he'll be stick to John otherwise we're just gonna get giggles this vehicle here this is mine this had crisp fragments in it crisps is fine though just worried about that and there's a little bit of vegetation leaves bits and pieces such as that and some flakes of skin there'll be mine so that's not too bad then no not too bad must please that let's move on now James's car there's lots of skin in this one including some nice large flakes of yellowish skin with some bloodstaining on somebody's picture scamming your cars oh I see and then if you girls worth no to quest of us some nasal mucus that's bogies he's talking about burgers will they sneeze on the seat of Sam and there are little balls in the foot well shall I just finished James's car it was an exhaust one was that the steering wheel the steamed with a chemical that a can be present in high quantities and saliva God so if you're talking though and driving that's what you may well expect the Roy Hattersley only rictus scabs off spat all over your still and drop bogies in large quantities have you following like a look at your car then mr. manler came to Hammonds car first of all there was some black sports type tape with what turned out to be blood staining on it all the walls and the sports tape with blood on the end of it somebody's been head and mud again the steering wheel had what appeared to be saliva staining on it and lastly really we had pubic hairs um and feces presently so did he just say the word feces you say feet what water certainly appeared to be fecal matter yes that's poo isn't it that's poo it's your cars got poo in it is that normal well it's like driving around and I'm a rock and prison isn't it really I'm in the front of his car hmmm after the forensic tests my colleagues were very distressed Oh No so we decided to pull over and see which of our cars was the most thief-proof this meant finding some thieves who insisted that we pixelate their faces unfortunately the pixellating was done by a man who just had his car nicked our thieves with the pixelated chests will now see how quickly they can break into the cars and drive them away you ready chaps here we go three two one I felt sure at this point that thanks to the double lock semi immobilizes my car would finally start to come good think you'll find he'll be a while getting in he's in time yeah he's in fine your car is now on a cross-channel ferry on its way to was the Bekaa star it really is quite tense now you come on the war on this thief come on Jove's us through come on Jeremy's thief however after 20 minutes both our cars were still where we'd left them so we decided to call it a draw unsurprisingly the thief decided to return my car which meant he could explain the reason it was so easy to steal is the ignition bars all worn smooth inside so you can start it with the Battle of a teaspoon or a lollipop stick I think it has done more than 94,000 miles
