Richard Hammond quotes from Top Gear

Richard

Can I have cod-and-chips... seventy-five times?

Richard

Wow! A TVR band! So presumably they play really loud, really fast and then burst into flames!

Richard

[imitating a lorry driver in Florida] It's raining, I'm going north and I'm looking for a whore!

Richard

'Well that's okay. [to Jeremy] You can prepare it, wash it and such, I can cook it and James can dress for dinner!

Richard

I am not peeling a squirrel!

Richard

I'm thinking how long I've been out in the sun, putting that tent up. Because what I'm seeing--and you'll love this--is a cow on the roof of your Camaro.

Richard

Hey Jeremy! I'm better. I can no longer see a cow on your roof!

Richard

There's only 2 knobs in it, well, 3 if you count the one who bought it.

Richard

Some say he isn't machine washable, and all his potted plants are called Steve... all we know is, he's called the Stig.

Richard

Now obviously you can't go searching for the best driving road in the world, in a Japanese hatchback, or a people carrier. So what we thought we'd do is bring along a selection of the new generation, of lightened supercars.

Richard

This is just the happiest car in the world! I shall call it Oliver! Not that we'd ever name a car on Top Gear. I wish I hadn't said that.

Richard

Float! Float! OLIVER!!!

Richard

I suppose I'd better practice my lion drill. "Oh, no. There's a lion coming. Ahh! [closes his door] What shall I do?" That! [points to the door, knocking on it] Oliver will protect me. [nods]

Richard

[to the fire brigade on filling up his car with water] You could have used warm water, it's freezing! [Moments later] There's 30-odd years' worth of fag ends and fluff coming up on top!

Richard

This is the car we enrolled. It's a BMW 330d, four years old, done 45.000 miles, we paid 11 grand for it. And now, we must turn it into a racing car by [he pauses, then continues uncertainly] ...bolting lots of racing car bits to it.
