[Starting Range Rover Sport vs. Challenger 2 Face-off]
JeremySo here we are on the start line: Goliath and David... Beckham.
[During the opening sequence.]
JeremyTonight: Old Jaguars, should you buy one?; Old BMWs, are they as well made as we think?; And old Mitsubishis, should you drive a car built by an aeroplane maker?
[on the Stig]
JeremySome say he's wanted by the CIA, and that he sleeps upside down like a bat... all we know is, he's called the Stig.
[on the Maserati MC12 achieving the fastest lap to date]
JeremyYou know, well, speed isn't everything... I can't believe I've just said that!
[on the endurance race]
JeremyIt's not the winning. It's not the taking part. It's just bashing Hammond!
[During the opening sequence.]
JeremyTonight: Two British sports cars with forged papers; Dr. Who is the star in our reasonably priced car; And I splash out on a seventies Roller.
[on the Wiesmann MF3]
JeremyYou see the body and you think it's going to be as advanced as mud - but honestly, it corners like a cylon interceptor.
[on the Stig]
JeremySome say that he appears on high value stamps in Sweden, and that he can catch fish with his tongue... we know him only, as the Stig.
[During the news]
Jeremy[On the Porsche Cayman] Porsche, the laziest design studio in the world!
Jeremy[On the smart fire car] You know that, erm, World's Wildest Police Chase thing that's on Channel 5 late at night (exaggerated American accent) "There's police chases from around the world!" And it's always a big V8 chasing a Corvette in Australia and America, then they go (American accent again) "We got a chase from the United Kingdom of England Land." And it's, "Oh no it's gonna be so embarrassing!" Sure enough it's a Vauxhall Astra with a big DIESEL sign over it. (Yorkshire policeman accent) "Ohh we're chasing this err BMX bike up the err A34." Oh this is going round the world, they're gonna laugh at us!
[During the opening sequence.]
JeremyTonight: I test the Cadillac CTS-V; Hammond tests the new BMW 3-Series; and we get three old ladies to test some small cars, because we couldn't be bothered.
[on the Stig]
JeremySome say he is illegal in 17 U.S. states, and he blinks this way [motioning his fingers in a horizontal fashion]... all we know is, he's called the Stig.
[after getting a call that his Ford GT has been stolen - while he's actually in it]
JeremyIf you shut this car down, I'm going to come down there and eat your heart!
[to Ford, via the camera, after his new Ford GT had broken down]
JeremyIf you don't mend it, I'm going to bone your dog!
[he then clarifies this as removing all of the dog's bones]
JeremyBut unfortunately, its driver had become bored with waiting. [Clarkson walks up to the Audi S4 with the Stig asleep at the wheel and knocks on the windscreen] Stiggy! Wakey wakey! Listen. We're gonna do a race. Okay? You're going to drive the Audi, and see if you can get past the Cadillac. Okay?
[the Stig stares back through his helmet]
Jeremy[looking back at the camera] You think that's gone in?
[on the Peugeot 407]
JeremyLooks good but no, it'll fall to pieces. Made by people who eat onions!
