S11 E3July 6th, 2008

[On James' 2.0 litre GTV] Why didn't you get the V6?

It's not as good.

What?!

No, it's nose-heavy. The handling is compromised.

Of course, this is front-wheel drive, isn't it?

Yes.

And front-wheel drive is for the feeble.

[speculating on Richard's and James' reaction to Jeremy's upturned Alfa Romeo 75]

Do you think they're a) going to be sympathetic or b) be a couple of-

[shouting] Nice work!

No, they're going to be a couple of.

[Richard has just recovered the seats of his Alfa with Jeremy's jacket]

[During their trip to the Concours, while checking on Jeremy's Alfa Romeo 75]

I have been rescued (pertaining to the two women with him) and I haven't even broken down.

Well then you don't-

[James suddenly appears from the side]

Hello.

[Richards Alfa Romeo Spyder can be heard failing to start with him looking over at the engine]

Begin!

[Jeremy can be heard laughing while the spyders engine starts dying]

Now!

[voiceover] So the car that was dead had to be towed by the car that was dying.

Oh listen to that now.

That's a weird noise for a car to make... that's better, what have you done?

Gone into second.

Second's nice, it's underrated as a gear.

[On disguising the fact that Richard's car had broken down]

[voiceover] James agreed to tow Richard, and my car, would hide the rope.

[At Alfa Romeo concours, talking to other contestant about his polished Alfa]

As a man of God, you'd take it badly if I were to, let's say, key it.

[Discussing their concours ratings]

James, what did you get?

Out of a possible 150 points, 74.

74! That's nearly a pass! I got 23.5. Yeah! Which was the lowest score ever recorded in concours history.

Until I came along! [laughs]

What did you get?

I got 9.

S11 E4July 13th, 2008

[Jeremy Clarkson did not speak during the opening sequence of this episode.]

[On The Stig]

Some say his droppings have been found as far north as York. And that he has a full size tattoo of his face, on his face. All we know is, he's called The Stig!

Now, are there any mothers here?

[A response is heard.]

Yes? Well, Fiat has decided you need patronising.

[on the Fiat Panda Mamy]

What are they going to do next, a Fiat Recently-Divorced Father? With a satnav that only goes to the zoo?

That's quite sad.

That's a good idea, actually, 'cause I've got a Fiat Panda, and I've also got a very young nephew and a young niece, so they could bring out the Panda Unsuitable Uncle. Which has just sort of got a very sharp kitchen knife left lying around.

[on the Dacia Sandero]

Great news!

What?

The Dacia Sandero; I got a new picture. [shows a picture of the Dacia Sandero]

Oooh... [quickly] Anyway,...

[on the Audi Q5]

Hey Audi's bought a photocopier.

No!

[Richard goes on explaining the Q5, saying Audi put the Q7 and set it at 75%.]

Have your mum and dad got a photocopier.

[James laughs followed by the audience.]

Yes.. And it was stuck at 60%

[mocking] 60!?

Yes, all right! Moving on...
