JeremySo, with the very greatness of Britain resting on his shoulders, the Stig is away.
JeremyThat is German music! The treacherous Stig's listening to Beethoven! Although he probably knows it simply as the tune from the IBM ad.
[During the opening sequence.]
JeremyTonight: Audi's new V6 ankle bracelet; A moment of madness from Aston Martin; And Johnny Vegas in our Reasonably-Priced Car - which should be interesting since he can't drive!
[to an audience member who declared the Subaru Impreza Turbo "common"]
JeremyYour job's to shut up.

[During the opening sequence.]

[During the opening sequence.]
JeremyTonight: an awful new car from Rover; a brilliant new car from Aston Martin; and the Apache helicopter gunship: can it get missile lock on a Lotus Exige?
Jeremy"A dog makes a better noise than that if you tread on it" (Regarding a Strokes song the show used).
Jeremy[trying to out-manoeuvre an Apache helicopter's radar in a Lotus Exige] The best helicopter gunship in the world, flown by the best pilots in the world, the British Army, against the best handling car in the world, driven by an idiot.
JeremyThat's not something you see everyday, a gunship in your rear view mirror.
JeremyGet out of the way, you Polish lorry! Why are you cluttering up our roads with Latvian milk?!
