Ken Block Drifts London – EXTENDED Director's Cut | Top Gear | BBC

-Ken? -That's it. -I don't think I... Do I need a helmet? -I would suggest it. All right, all right. Okay, you know what I'm thinking... I'm not in a big rush, you know. We can talk about some of these sights I'd like to see when you get a minute. Okay, I see why you said to wear a helmet. Thanks for the tip. Moving train. Moving train. Maybe I didn't mention, but I had quite a lot of bacon for breakfast! Well, I don't need to see the trailers again. The stuff that I'd like to see is more of the like, touristy kind of stuff. I really want to see Buckingham Palace and I'd also like to see Tower Bridge. Oh, and the Houses of Parliament. You know where that is? Oh, Canary Wharf! Did you know that that right there is the second tallest building in London? Yeah, that one over there. Back there. Way back there. That was it! Do you drink a lot of coffee? Oh, cool! Oh, that is Lloyds of London! -Where we going? -Secret route. -What's this button do? -Don't. -Okay. -Don't touch anything. Not touching anything. Do you know that most of the London Underground is actually above ground? This is a good short cut. Oh, cool! This St. Paul's Cathedral. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Turn around! Go round again! A lot of famous people get married here. Do they look familiar? Congratulations! A fascinating city, really. Did you know that a lot of people think this is London Bridge, but it's actually called the Tower Bridge because of the towers. Interesting, huh? Is this another short cut? This is interesting. Very colourful. -Least I could do. -You're all right, Ken. Oh, look, look, look! What is that? -Oh, I think that is a Stigsy. -Oh, cool! -Can I just...? -No. Oh, Westminster Bridge! Did you know that it's illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament? So maybe be careful. Oh, does Winston approve? It doesn't look like it, does it? Sorry. Sorry. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down. Five O. See the police right there? They're right behind us. -Is this thing street legal? -I think so. Did you know that if the flag on top of Buckingham Palace is all the way at the top, that means the Queen is home? So she's home. So we better... We better be on our best behaviour. I wonder what room she's in. Well, let's find out. Hey, there she is! So, we saw the queen. That was awesome. So check London off the list. Thanks, Ken. You're very welcome. -Where to next? -Next? -I'm ready. -Yeah. Let's go. Okay, I gotta ask you. What does the red button do? -No. -Come on. Not this time. Maybe the next trip.

I assume this was the segment that rustled some feathers back when it got filmed? Something about LeBlanc doing donuts where it really wasn't appropriate.

Speaking of which, LeBlanc seemed unphased by the driving..

Also, how the hell did they manage to clear this large a portion of London's streets for a Gymkhana-style video?

LOL the stig sitting at the cafe in the background at 6:35

Honestly, I can't even comprehend the production value and time spent on this video. It's insane.

[u/dylanbeck]

What does that button do tho

[u/dumb_jellyfish]

THAT WASN'T THE QUEEN, THESE GUYS ARE PHONIES.

LeBlanc is growing on me. He was fantastic in this.

[u/dentoid]

One thing i noticed in this video is that there are no skid marks where they are driving like you normally do. It really makes the clip more impressive when you can't see their remnants of a warm-up run

Oh look, it's the Drift Tampa from GTA V.

[u/dwiggs30]

That's not even Version 2 of the Hoonicorn. He's doubled the horsepower on the car recently. I can't even imagine...
