JeremyTonight: Richard finds the world's maddest car... in Switzerland; an absolutely fabulous Star in our Reasonably-Priced Car; and the new Viper attempts to write its own name... in rubber!
Jeremy(Reading a safety warning on the Viper) "'This is an open vehicle - drive carefully.' No!"
JeremyAnyone familiar with the old Viper simply wouldn't believe the features that are available on this one, the sequel. I mean, it has a space which can be used for transporting goods. Look at this, it has a roof which can be raised and then lowered depending on prevailing weather conditions. I love this - if you touch this button here, glass rises out of the door. And - I love this - the pedals can be adjusted using electricity. This car is so sophisticated it could write its own name." (He then proceeds to write "Viper" with skidmarks)

JeremyTonight: Richard wets himself in a small hatchback; we play conkers with caravans; and a clash of the titans: Aston vs. Ferrari on our track.

JeremyOn tonight's show: James celebrates 50 years of guitar music... in a Mercedes; a Broken Arrow star in our Reasonably-Priced Car; and I tackle the world's most fearsome race track... in a diesel.
Jeremy[to a biker on the Nürburgring] Get a car and some proper clothes for God's sake!
Jeremy[pushing his beer away] Get thee behind me, juice of Johann Vegas.

JeremyOn tonight's show: How fast can a blind man get round our track? How much Porsche can you get for 1500 pounds? And Britain's most successful recording artist ever is in our Reasonably-Priced Car.
Jeremy[on his £1500 Porsche] For the first time today I have no warning light on the dashboard - all is well. Apart from, you know, the rear windscreen wiper and the electric window and the electric door mirrors and the stereo, and the clock, and the air conditioning, and the speedometer and the milometer, and the piston ring that's eating the engine, and the big smoke coming out of the back, everything's fine.

JeremyOn tonight's show: Richard takes an American muscle car in a road movie... across Lincolnshire; a 4-door saloon goes head-to-head with a Lamborghini; and it's the Top Gear Awards for the best and worst of 2004.
[on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ400]
JeremyThis is amazing! A fit young racing driver in a supercar and he cannot pull away from a fat man in a four door saloon!
JeremyIt has this Sonic the Hedgehog arrangement on the roof to help keep it straight and true with speed, and to help it cleave the air more easily, it has shrunken door mirrors which appear to have been modeled on Shrek's ears.
[on the Toyota Prius]
JeremySee the trees smile at me as I waft by. And watch the children run into the road, because they haven't heard me coming.
[on the Toyota Prius engine display]
JeremyThis, I think, is a particularly good way of distracting you from the child who's run into the road having not heard you coming.
[continuing about the Prius]
JeremyActually I'm being unfair. The Prius is so slow the child could run into the road, get his ball, and hit puberty before you ever actually hit him.

JeremyOn tonight's show it's all about challenges! Which can get down a mountain the fastest: a rally car or a bobsleigh? Are modern-day showroom cars faster than racing cars from not that long ago? And can a Formula 1 Renault get round our track... in less than a minute?
