[Whilst in the carwash in the Espace convertible]
I'm dry still.
[a moment later]
I'M WET NOW!!

[The three take their convertible people carrier through a car wash]
Uh... it's on fire.
What?! It can't be on fire! [He looks] It's on fire.
It's on fire. Just run. Just run.
[The three run off... and after the film]
The thing is, we managed to set fire to something that's basically made of water!
How did you do that? Did you see the owner of the car wash afterwards?
He was...
Cross. Very cross.
He was especially cross when I rang him up and asked if we could have our three pounds fifty back.
[about the Honda Civic's poor sound insulation] I mean, I like an engine note as much as the next person, but I'd like it to be a fizzy V6 hand-crafted in Italy. This... [revving the engine] that's a rather dreary 4-pot from rainy Swindon.
You need to be able to drive the car over a sleeping policeman... That wouldn't drive over Richard Hammond's girlfriend.
[to Clarkson] You've done this before, anyway.
Yes I have. It didn't go well.
How "not well"?
Well, I took the roof off and then the whole car split in half.
Y'see, that's very "not well" indeed.
