Top Gear · Season 7, Episode 4

Jeremy, Richard and others in “December 4th, 2005”

[on the Italian supercar challenge]

Jeremy

[...] Now, next one is the big one, okay - insurance. That's the main problem with cars of this type, okay? We had to go out and get a quote to see how low we could go, and mine was, for the Maserati, 300 pounds.

Richard

A year?

Jeremy

Yeah.

Richard

For a Maserati?

Jeremy

Yeah.

Richard

Don't be ridiculous!

Jeremy

No, you see, the reason is pretty simple: unlike you, I'm a respectable middle-aged man, unlike you, I don't have any points on my license, and it's kept in an alarmed, locked garage in one of the safest parts of the country.

James

Yeah, but hang on a minute though, because you are, what, a journalist and a broadcaster, and I happen to know that those are 2 of the highest rated insurance risks on the book.

Jeremy

Yep, you're exactly right, which is why I told them I was a doctor! [referring to his honorary doctorate in engineering]
