It"s a weird dog-leg part of Top Gear"s self-catering g te with a built-in stage. Some members of the team have convinced themselves that, with the black faux-leather sofas and oddly sited shower in the corridor, it"s also used as a well, never mind. We"re eating. It"s gone better than the previous night, when Charlie Turner had the barbecue"s rev-counter way beyond the red line and we had to rifle through cars for a fire extinguisher. Tonight has been calmer. This is good. This remote hamlet is tiny and utterly silent; we can barely squeeze cars down the track past the ancient stone barns, and it wouldn"t do to upset the neighbours. But tomorrow morning we want to do sunrise about half an hour away, and two of the final five are the McLaren and Ferrari, both of which do noise and width rather too generously for a 6am departure. We"ve discussed pushing them out, leaving them on the far side of the village for the night, but then it got rather late, we were full of merguez sausages and garlic spuds (get us), might have had a beer or three and so settled on our usual tactic: departing 10 minutes behind schedule in a stampede of chaos and revs.
