Lines by James May 178

[Moments before James commences a drag race in a G-Whiz]

James

Cock. Just remembered the Australians. They do that VXR thing...

[Describing the Zonda Roadster F]

James

That is the Zonda F Roadster. [voiceover] And in the already insane world of Pagani, this one has its own special padded cell.

[During the track test of the Zonda Roadster F]

James

The acceleration is so brutal! I think my eyes have moved around the side of my head like a pigeon.

[After a few spin offs]

James

[voiceover] With a little practise, I got the hang of it.

[Cut to The Stig wearing James' jumper driving the Zonda]

James

[voiceover] I think I know what to do at this point...

[mimicking Jeremy's catchphrase]

James

POWEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

[After testing the Zonda Roadster F]

James

Now the office say they have another car to try on the track but I shouldn't worry because it's only a VW. [Looks in the distance] Funny.

[Cuts to the Veyron]

[Standing in front of the Bugatti and Zonda]

James

Now, I believe the done thing at this point is to have a drag race. So if nobody objects, we'll have one... [pauses] with these two. I will be in the Zonda, and the Veyron will be driven by the Stig... who wasn't here earlier.

[After Jeremy has shown him clips of his practise in the Zonda]

James

I know what the problem is: it's my hair. [Jeremy scoffs] No, really. When you get up to speed my hair flaps about and gets in the way. When I put that white helmet on, it was much better!

[On the Honda FCX Clarity]

James

[voiceover] ...the most important car since the car was invented. Here it is. It's called the FCX Clarity. And I'm afraid it's a four door Honda.

James

So far, most electric cars have been appalling little plastic snot-boxes that take all night to recharge and then take half a minute to reach their maximum speed of forty. And then run out of juice miles from anywhere.

[James drives past a Toyota Prius]

James

Prius. Sucker.

[James has run out of fuel in the pouring rain]

James

Cock. This is a massive "Oh, cock". How can it have run out? That rain makes a really annoying noise on my colander-- helmet. And it comes through.

[later]

James

this nice man has stopped on an old Russian motorcycle and I think he's going to give me some petrol. What a nice man. In fact, I think I'll pay him. [he starts to remove of his gloves, then sighs] Me d?ng's going to be all soggy, isn't it?
