[on the Overfinch-modified Range Rover]
JeremyIt's a bit like sliding down a black run in a wardrobe. It's a giggle, but you've got no real say in your direction of travel.
JeremyIf you have any thoughts or opinions on what you've seen in the last ten weeks, do please keep them to yourselves.
[During the opening sequence.]
JeremyIn tonight's programme: As you've just seen - The Stig has gone Top Gun; James will be looking at the new 5-Series BMW and I'll be giving myself a brain tumour!
[on the diesel VW Lupo]

JeremyYou have to sign a disclaimer before you buy a CSL saying that you understand that the tyres won't work in the rain or if it's a bit chilly. What a car!
JeremySome of the laws they have are fabulous! Handguns, for instance, are legal there! And you can be charged with "furious driving"! I'd love to have that on my licence!
JeremyYou will never hear anyone say, "Look at that maniac in that Saab!"
JeremyBut it's strange, because most of the people I know who speak Latin find cars really rather trivial and infantile.
