JeremyTonight. We shout at the government. A man drives a Subaru through a building. And a dog goes in a car.
Jeremy[While Richard is pretending to retch] You're breathing my chest.
Jeremy2, 4, 6, 8, Jacqui Smith's husband likes to mast...I can't do that one...
[Jeremy, James and Richard are testing the smoothness and quietness of their cars. Things are uncannily silent, until.......]
Jeremy[over radio] This may only have a three-cylinder diesel engine, but it's so quiet in here I can hear my hair growing!
[Jeremy, James and Richard are testing the speed of their cars with a drag race. Jeremy's Škoda Roomster pulls alongside James' Toyota iQ.]
JeremyGot James!
[James' Toyota accelerates ahead of Jeremy.]

JeremyTonight. The fastest man in the world on our track. The slowest man in the world falls asleep. And we literally set fire to Dorset with a machine gun.
[On the powerful, front wheel drive, Ford Focus RS]
JeremyAsking the front wheels of a car to do their normal job of steering while handling, let's say, more than 170 brake horsepower is like asking a man to wire a plug while juggling. Penguins. While making love. To a beautiful woman, while on fire, on stage, in front of the Queen. It's all going to go wrong.
[On cornering]
JeremyEventually, you will slide wide. But only after your face has come off.
[On The Stig]
JeremySome say that he is absolutely baffled by urinals. And that on reflection this was a bad week to launch his debut single. It's a tribute, to Farah Fawcett. All we know is he's called The Stig.
JeremyYou don't need a driving license to be a Lamborghini test driver. You just turn up for the interview, go, "I'm sorry, I'm drunk and mad but I'm called Velociraptor Clint Thrust." "Right, you start on Monday."
[Jeremy comments on Usain Bolt's 2008 Olympic 100m dash]
JeremyYou set a world record with your shoelace undone.
[Jeremy reads out Usain Bolt's quote on the day of the 2008 Olympic 100m dash]
JeremyIt said, "I didn't have breakfast, woke up at 11:00, sat around watching TV, then had some chicken nuggets..." [Laughter] Oh, no, it gets better! "Slept for two hours, then went back and got some more nuggets." [Laughter]
JeremyTonight. We save the entire world. We test a fat spaniel from Jaguar. And we annoy France's second best racing driver.
[on The Stig]
JeremySome say, he has twelve GCSEs, all in Domestic Science. And that he has been producing artificial sperm for years. Even though we have repeatedly asked him not to. All we know is, he's called The Stig.
[During the Val Thorens race, Jeremy's windscreen has been coated with snow...]
Jeremy[panicking] I CAN'T SEE A BLOODY THING!! [accidentally pulls off glove while steering] AAGH, pulled my own glove off!
