“July 27th, 2008” · Season 11, Episode 6

In this episode: Jeremy Clarkson (12), James May (12), Richard Hammond (8)

[During the opening sequence.]

Tonight, Richard spins off the track... twice; Jay Kay tries to get to number one; and Germany or Britain: which is best?

[on The Stig.]

Some say it's impossible for him to wear socks, and he can open a beer bottle with his testes! All we know is, he's called The Stig.

[on organ donation and the dangers of motorcycling]

I actually carry a card that says "I do not wish to help Jeremy Clarkson be amusing in the event of my death."

Fair enough.

[While test driving the Mitsuoka Orochi]

[voiceover] It costs forty-four thousand pounds and it's made by a company called Mitsuoka.

You've probably never heard of them either, but they are a proper, Japanese car maker. In fact, they're the tenth biggest car maker in the country, after Toyota, Nissan, Honda and six others.

[on the Dacia Sandero]

Hey, great news!

What?

I've been sent more information on the Dacia Sandero.

Excellent, excellent. [quickly] Hey, now...

[Introducing the Top Gear vs D-Motor film]

Now, there's a new TV show in Germany. It's all about cars and it's hosted by three people.

I can't imagine where they got that idea from! No idea! Anyway, they got in touch with us and they invited us to take them on in a series of races and challenges.

Now, obviously, we needed somewhere to stage this.

Yes. I suggested we did it in the skies over southern England!

In fact, we settled on Belgium, which was a country invented so that Britain and Germany would have somewhere to sort out their differences!

Yup! And, on that point, the producers told us: "Now, listen. You're representing the BBC. You can't just turn up and go on about the war."

[James grins in silence]

It's a gravel trap designed to stop Formula One cars. How on earth do you think it's not going to stop a Jaguar with a Metro on the roof?

[voiceover] With us out all we could hope was that Jeremy and Kiff the soundman would race on, cleanly and fairly.

Ram him! RAM!

[Moments before James commences a drag race in a G-Whiz]

Cock. Just remembered the Australians. They do that VXR thing...

[During the Axis vs Allies drag race]

I'm hoping that because the Lamborghini's Italian, it'll change sides halfway through the race.

[During the Top Gear v. Germans challenge: hatch-back test]

Awful lot of bullets hitting me here.

[voiceover] And no wonder...

James, what are you doing!?

Shooting at Jeremy.

But he's on our side!

Yeah, but why wouldn't you?

You're right, you would. Fire!

[James is watching Where Eagles Dare during the Bowler Nemesis test]

[German accent] Sit down, Kommandant.

You're not interested in these, are you?

D'you know what? Your mind cannot comprehend of how uninterested I am in things like this.

[Richard crashes his Bowler Nemesis]

[over radio] Hammond, if you don't get that thing started, [German accent] for uz, zee competition iz over!
