Jim aims for life in the fast lane.
Alistair's patience is tried when Jim insists on accompanying him on his farm visits. It soon emerges that Jim really plans on visiting another car showroom today. Alistair is embarrassed when Jim spends ages in the showroom, and insults the salesman. Jim doesn't care. He's more excited about the sports car he's just spotted.
David, Ruth, Phil and Jill all visit the Royal Show. There's lots of nostalgia as they reminisce about shows past, and regret the fact that this will be the last Royal they ever visit. David and Ruth celebrate with a beer. It's not often they get a day off the farm together.
