In this episode: Jeremy Clarkson (9), James May (7), Richard Hammond (5)

[During the opening sequence.]

Tonight: Question Time comes to our Reasonably-Priced Car; Aston's DB9 racer comes to our track; and an offshore powerboat against a Mercedes SLR.

[on the Stig]

Some say he naturally faces magnetic north, and that all of his legs are hydraulic... all we know is, he's called the Stig.

[after spending a day with Richard on a Ferry]

I really enjoyed our day out together, Richard. It's not very often I get to take someone out for a nice dinner. [camera switches to Richard, who is now looking somewhat concerned]

[On whether Jeremy will get sleep on the Oslo race]

Well I would, and you would, but I don't think Jeremy will because he'll become obsessed by [impersonates Clarkson] power and winning!

[on losing the Oslo race to Jeremy]

What's the Norwegian for "Oh, Cock?"

[on the CDs he was given for the race to Oslo]

[laughing] 101 classic speeches from... Mrs. Thatcher! [impersonating Thatcher] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this lady's not for turning.

[in a Eurotunnel train during the race to Oslo]

I wonder what the fastest anyone has ever been... in a Eurotunnel train...? How tempting is it to... [depressing accelerator momentarily] No, no, no no. No, grow up!

[after having the Eurotunnel train safety instructions start in French] Oh, we gotta have it in French! [pause] Start the train!

I can't believe we're doing this again.

Well I think we really should beat him this time. In fact, I'm going to run.

Can I just say, when we were 50 miles from Oslo we were neck in neck. Okay? Absolutely neck in neck. I made it to Oslo, flew home and was half way through supper before these guys arrivved at the finishing point. That's how badly it went wrong for them!

Well, I have to say it wasn't the end, we don't even know what that place was called.

A town. No idea.

No idea.

Just a place.

Freezing cold.

Yes.

Nobody spoke English to us.

No.

And we had no money.

No! And then there was a cash point and, that was unbelievable, it said 5000 kroner. Well how much is that? Do I buy a pencil sharpener or a car with that? And all I know is that's more than he [May] had because when he asked for that it said insufficient funds available. Which didn't go down well.

[On the Alfa Romeo Brera] You can have a diesel, if you're the sort of person who thinks the Mona Lisa should have a moustache.
