“May 29th, 2005” · Season 6, Episode 2

In this episode: Jeremy Clarkson (8), Richard Hammond (3), James May (3)

[During the opening sequence.]

Tonight: Old Jaguars, should you buy one?; Old BMWs, are they as well made as we think?; And old Mitsubishis, should you drive a car built by an aeroplane maker?

[on the Stig]

Some say he's wanted by the CIA, and that he sleeps upside down like a bat... all we know is, he's called the Stig.

[during the news, talking about the Greatest Driving Song]

[to Richard] You! You went on Radio 1 this week, okay? He was on Radio 1, which is a small radio station for, like, four year olds, and he said that the best ever driving song was by a band called, what are they called, the baby-snatchers?

The BodyRockers, you poor bewildered old fool!

[voiceover] ...Oxford isn't a city, it's a bus lane.

Oxford hates cars!

[pointing to James' Jaguar] So it's really gonna hate this!!

[voiceover] Back on the road, it turned out Hammond's BMW wasn't all that healthy either. But, it did give him a new game to play...

Ooh! Hold on a minute! I've got it! There's a problem with my brake lights. I have "Connect Three."

[as Hammond overtakes him] That doesn't sound good.

[voiceover] Ah, but Hammond wasn't going to steal the break-down honours from me! Help. [voiceover] With the others far in front, and out of sight, my wipers packed up.

[voiceover] Meanwhile, the Jag just kept pounding round. The only time it came into the pits was when the Captain's sense of direction broke down.

No, I didn't mean to come in, I went the wrong way!

[on the Maserati MC12 achieving the fastest lap to date]

You know, well, speed isn't everything... I can't believe I've just said that!

[on the endurance race]

It's not the winning. It's not the taking part. It's just bashing Hammond!
