Richard Hammond quotes from Top Gear

Richard

[after seeing that part of his car's rear body had fallen off] My arse! I've lost an entire buttock!

Richard

And I have never experienced a car this big, and so powerful.

Richard

Why does it say 1 + 2 = 2?

Richard

Oh, dear God! Naught to 60 in 3.2 seconds and then on into space...That is savage! Savage, savage thing! I can't get enough of that. I'm gonna do that again.

Richard

Amazingly, you can corner this car like a halfwit and come out the other side alive. And that's because, in the Huayra, the black art of aerodynamics is watching over you...It doesn't feel big, like a Lambo, and it's all been set up so well and made so stable that even I can corner it hard without hiding in the glovebox whimpering.

Richard

There might be some people watching right now who could actually afford one of these things. And it's the job of you, me, and everybody else to stand around and join together in a chorus: DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

Richard

The thing with hovercrafting is it's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, disaster.

Richard

I feel like I'm driving a luxury hotel room through a swamp.

Richard

McLaren have used hybrid technology to liven up a supercar today. Porsche have used hybrid technology to save the supercar for tomorrow. This is an important car.

Richard

Up until now, Suzuki has been well known for making small Jeeps and our Reasonably Priced Car. Everything else they made is about as interesting as that pine tree.. [points to another few pine trees]] or no maybe that one, that one and that one to the left.

Richard

I am staying!

Richard

[to Jeremy] Yeah, it's going well. It's going well... [he slips, falls, and slides all the way down the slope]

Richard

So, if you want to drive to the North Pole, buy a Hammond.

Richard

The silence is... beautiful.

Jeremy

As on conventional manual gearboxes, the transmission ratios are present on input and auxilliary shafts in the form of pairs of toothed wheels. In contrast to manual gearboxes, the input shaft is divided into two sections. It comprises an outer hollow shaft and... Oh, look! Are there any engineers here? Is there anyone here who has that first, tiny grasp of engineering?

Richard

I mean, is it an automatic or a manual even?

Jeremy

[pointing to an audience member] You! You have. Look, I'm going to give you this and by the end of we've finished the news I want to understand that gearbox. Work it out. It's your homework.
