Jodie Kidd Interview And Lap | Top Gear

My guest tonight is very, very tall and a global fashion icon like me, ladies and gentlemen, supermodel Jody Kidd. Now look, this is what we've been waiting for. Really good, I can't tell you how nice it is to have someone. the show is a decent size no, i don't have to look down all the time not exactly, but what about the cars? Do you have problems getting into them? Actually, yeah, but um, yeah, I'm pretty agile, I can fit in you know I'm not that big you know I'm tall no um because there was I mean I have a rule basically I always say I can do anything I want to do yeah yeah that helps, I don't mind driving with your knees here exactly, I've always found that with your knees around your elbows, actually, that might be, yeah, um, you were recently described in the Birmingham Evening Post as big and I've got it written down here as a self-indulgent celebrity setting a very bad example, I'm very happy, that's exactly what I want to be.

Did you know Birmingham's post was about apparently you're going to Gumball's rally? Ah, I think it's a great idea, Gumball, yes, no, it is. Fantastic, how does it work? Because I've never been to one. It's just a really cool group of people who have nice cars and go on a really long trip and go all over the United States and it's a cross. Yes, I've done it twice. I did it. from the east coast to the west coast and then this year we did it from San Francisco to Miami so it's kind of like a time trial and they say you have to go from A to B, no it's not because if you did that everyone would start . racing because you have ferraris, you have the serious supercars and of course if you are going to tell someone, whoever gets here the fastest will win, everyone is going to race, so how fast people were driving, I don't really know.

Yeah, but I don't know why I asked you the question, but I'm perfectly aware of how fast there was a guy who took a Koenigsegg, oh God, you know, 220 miles an hour, I thought it was 40. 240, was it 240? ? Sorry, I'll correct myself and how fast were you? I know the answer to this one. I did about 95 in a Dodge Viper, I think it was 140. Because you have the help of all the truckers, right? Yes, the truckers. They're cool, the truckers tell you where all the cops we went to last year are sitting, why would you need to know that if you were to warn all the people behind me, okay, you know Ferraris and all that, um, So do you have the bullet? now in Europe too yeah well they're bringing it back to Europe again next year but I just did literally last week I did a five day rally and so what were you driving that I was driving my car like a maserati spider you have a maserati spider.

In fact, I'm surrounded by people with Maseratis because they're good cars, Jeremy, no you see, now they're not, yeah, no, they're not good, maybe you've driven one. the track, yeah I know, how did it feel on the channel? It was different on the track than on the road, I think we have some footage, actually, oh Jody, running around with Stig a bit, yeah, yeah, who would like that? Look, no, no, so let's put it here, come on, oh, it's beautiful, that's really crazy, it's got mentalism, so where did the love for cars come from? life and I feel like when I got behind the wheel of a really fast car it was that kind of adrenaline that you get when you're riding horses and playing polo and it's just a great freedom.

Now I feel like polo is because the only thing I don't really understand is that they play on polo ponies, yes, but they can be horses, it's just a name because I was thinking with you that it has to be a shark no, I have the six-legged horse how tall is your horse? um you probably won't understand, but about fifteen three, but that's small, I have to be seventeen, how do you know what fifteen three is? You know nothing. about horses i know everything about horses i don't know anything about polo i have three donkeys at home jeffrey eddie and kristen scott donkey they do love my donkeys they are my life they are everything i just think they are fantastic very loud it depends on what you do to them, i mean, Now I can tell you're nibbling on the If I can use a horse expression to find out how it went, yeah, in your Suzuki Lyanna, yeah, okay, because, as you probably already know, we have a celebration every week we put them in the same car suzuki lyanna star in a reasonably priced car it's called we sell them on the track now jk it's a minute 48 and then at the end we have richard whiteley who took two weeks and six days so where?

Do you think you're going to fit in? Don't know. I'm very competitive, so I went around and around until I got it. We had some practice laps. Yes, Tara came. Tara Palmer Tompkinson. You have to win. she said at one point she got distracted because she thought she saw a handsome man, which is unlikely, frankly, here, um and that slowed her down a little 154, but you think you'll be, I hope to meet Tara, well, we . discover everyone this is jody's turn big wheel tour come on little super whatever you are subaru suzuki that's it that was my best that was the best I've ever seen anyone walk around right I love the people's faces at this point everyone's coming i don't really care you said you're a little competitive actually i'm nervous actually you're nervous do you want to beat tara yeah one minute 54. yeah you beat tara okay you want to be steve coogan yeah im at 53 of course you beat tara coogan you want to beat jamie oliver at 150 particularly like berryman i'm 150 and one thing is gordon ramsay yeah keep going no you're beat oh my god you want to beat jk yeah you did it a second faster than Jk, I would expect him to be back next week.
