Chapter 2: Deciding Who’d Go In What

A camera shifts to a hat filled with 4 slips of paper, and me, Clarkson, Hammond, and May standing around it, with May holding the hat. Clarkson, Hammond, and May are dressed in their usual outfits from the actual episode, and I am wearing a white t-shirt with a picture of 60103 'Flying Scotsman' on the front of it, with a beige colored jacket on top of the white t-shirt. I am also wearing beige pants, and black sneakers. (a/n: My outfit is basically a tribute to James May with the whole beige outfit ensemble, and the Flying Scotsman t-shirt).

"Is this one of your special hats?" Clarkson asked.

"Never mind that Clarkson, Hammond, you want to be the first to choose?" I asked him

It was at this point that Hammond, not wanting to dilly dally, reached into the hat, and instead grabbed hold of the hat's label.

"That's the label," May said, causing Clarkson to look away and laugh.

It was then that Hammond reached into the hat again, this time pulling out a slip of paper. To which he then read out what was on it.

"I've got...I've got the bike!" he said.

"There is a god, there is a god!" Clarkson said in response.

"Okay Jeremy, the next pick is yours," I said.

To which Clarkson reached into the hat, pulling out a slip of paper, showing it to everyone else. May, didn't take it too well. Seeing as how Clarkson had just pulled two of the slips of paper that indicated that he was going to be aboard the train for the race to Edinburgh, more specifically the slip read "Train: Tornado."

"Okay, I guess that means that it's my turn then," I said as I then reached into the hat and pulled out a slip of paper, and, like Clarkson, showing it to everyone else. And, like Clarkson, May once again didn't take it too well. Seeing as how my slip of paper read three words across it "Train: Flying Scotsman".

"And so the decisions of who'd go in what, had now been decided. And so, at exactly 23 minutes past 7 and a bit, the race began," Clarkson's voice over said.
