[During the opening sequence.]
Tonight: an awful new car from Rover; a brilliant new car from Aston Martin; and the Apache helicopter gunship: can it get missile lock on a Lotus Exige?
“May 9th, 2004” · Season 4, Episode 1
In this episode: Jeremy Clarkson (5), Richard Hammond (1), James May (1)
"A dog makes a better noise than that if you tread on it" (Regarding a Strokes song the show used).
[trying to out-manoeuvre an Apache helicopter's radar in a Lotus Exige] The best helicopter gunship in the world, flown by the best pilots in the world, the British Army, against the best handling car in the world, driven by an idiot.
That's not something you see everyday, a gunship in your rear view mirror.
Get out of the way, you Polish lorry! Why are you cluttering up our roads with Latvian milk?!
[During the News Segment. Hammond has just mentioned the new mini. He is wearing a bright red shirt.]
Whoa, what are the noises for? Do you like it?
AAudience (Including James)
No!
Heck, I do, Actually, I think that looks great! [silence] Maybe it's the shirt?
How much is it going to cost?
It's going to cost... well, they'll generally be about £2500 more than the equivalent hard top. So the Cooper S, the Supercharged version of that, £17 500, £15 500 for the coupe. About £13 500 I think for the mini one.
That's horrible.
Well, yeah, but the mini- it's not a cheap small car. It's an expensive small car. And I like that [points at mini].
It's a metrosexual car.
BBoth
A What?
Metrosexual! It's the new thing! It's for the chap, he doesn't wanna be too butch, he doesn't wanna have like, you know, a big 4x4, he spends quite a bit of money on hair products- [gestures towards Richard]
Don't point at me, mate.
He's interested in shirts, probably wears cowboy boots- [Richard is looking sheepishly at his feet, which are clad in cowboy boots] -That kind of thing! He's a blend of gay and not-gay.
[talking over Jeremy] I am not a metro-flamin'-sexual!
You are a metrosexual! I can see you in one of those! [Points at the Mini Cooper's picture]
Apart from anything else, how would you know what a metrosexual is?
I'm not only in touch with my feminine side, I'm in touch with my gay side as well.
You're probably right.
