Tonight: Richard wears a blue hat, James wears a different hat, and I wear a hat with things on it.
“February 20th, 2011” · Season 16, Episode 5
In this episode: Jeremy Clarkson (6), Richard Hammond (1)
You know when you drive behind the gritting machine and say "Oh no, it's turning my car into a DeLorean!
[The Top Gear Presenters are driving through a Norwegian town and are testing the "de-icing" implement of their "Snowbine", which is essentially a flamethrower. Naturally, this makes Jeremy very excited.]
[a la Arthur Brown] I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE AND I BRING YOU...
[he sends out a jet of flame behind the Snowbine]
...FIRE!
[while trying to clear a ten-mile mountain pass, the Snowbine goes into a tank-slapper and causes Hammond to fall over backwards whilst shovelling grit, Jeremy laughs]
[screams] Where's my wedding ring?! I've lost my wedding ring!
Has it gone in the thing?
It must have done!
[voiceover] Soon, though, we had bigger things to worry about than Hammond's ring.
[the Snowbine crashes into a massive heap of snow in front of it and comes to a stop]
If you think about it, a combine harvester is designed to never work in the snow, or in the rain, or on a hill. It's always flat ground on lovely summer's evenings. It's out of its comfort zone here. [voiceover] Which meant that sadly, so was I.
[Jeremy is shovelling snow off the snow blade]
Jesus!
[On the start-stop-automatic of the BMW M3]
[voiceover] In a straight line, it's no faster than the standard car. And around the bends it feels ... exactly the same. Except of course when you eventually spin [showing a spinning M3 with smoking tires] it'll assume you'd have arrived at a set of lights and cut the engine.
[shouting] Why have you done that? Nobody arrives at a set of traffic lights backwards in a cloud of tire smoke! [mumbles] Stupid thing!
