[on the SLR's engine]

Richard

It puts out six hundred and twenty-six brake horsepower, and more torque than in all the rest of the cars in the world added together.

Richard

And then they tell you - proudly! - that there's enough room in the boot for two sets of golf clubs. And that worries me, that's just fat-businessman stuff. It's a marriage between McLaren and Mercedes, the SLR. And it's brilliant! I just wish it was a bit more McLaren and a bit less Mercedes.

[after Jeremy bangs his head on the XPower SV's door frame during a hard maneuver]

Richard

I could watch that all day! Who'd like to see it in slow motion?

[on Jeremy's advocacy of the Noble]

Richard

Richard

[nominations for Surprise of the Year]

Richard
