Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Ye Olde Toppe Gear. This week Richard de Hammond field tests the new Porsche two-oxen plough. Meanwhile James of May takes the new Land Rover hay cart out on some of Britain's rural byways and off-road. Meanwhile,the Stig takes the new British warhorse out on our track to see how it compares to the European warhorse and even the latest hot hatchback mounts from the Saracens.
Also, I Jeremy Lord Clarkson, discover just which is the best vehicle to use when going on a pilgrimage to Canterbury. Later, we have Little John from the world-famous band of the Merry Men taking our reasonably-priced mule around our track later on.
Before that, we'll have, a special report from a muddy field near Agincourt where we see what happens when a bunch of poncy modern French knights go up against the traditional British longbow. We think you'll be surprised at the results though.
First, though, the news. There is talk at the King's court of introducing a national speed limit of three miles an hour on all British roads, including what remains of all the Roman roads. Although, judging by my ride into the studio this morning down Watling Street, the possibility of achieving such high speeds is almost impossible given the poor state of the roads. Especially, given the fact most of them turn into a muddy swamp. As for the talk of adding safety features such as speed humps, must roads have them naturally these days.
Anyway, talking of mud, here's Richard de Hammond with his report on the new Porsche two oxen superplough.
Run the film!
