[While test driving the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series]
[voice over] Of course, if you turn the traction control off and stamp on the throttle, you can get it to misbehave. But you sense immediately that it doesn't want to do this. [in the car] It doesn't like that. [imitating German accent] "I am a serious racing car, Englander! Don't drive with your clown shoes on!"
[On The Stig]
Some say that he also has a button that makes him hum, and that if he played football for Manchester United, he'd be loyal, because he's not a potato-headed oaf.
[After part 1 of the Hovervan segment was shown, in which the van sank in a reservoir]
Well, that was a complete catastrophe and it was all Hammond's fault.
How was it my fault?
Because, as predicted, those engines weren't powerful enough.
No, the problem was, and I never thought I'd say this, James's skirt was too small. [laughter]
No, no, I'm not having that, there was nothing wrong with my skirt. The problem was that (Jeremy) just charged into the water, as usual, like an imbecile.
The thing with hovercrafting is it's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, disaster.
The hovercraft has run amok in a lock!
[While going up a small weir in the Mark II Hovervan]
In the Shakespearean style, "Horsepower, horsepower, my kingdom for some horsepower!"
