Top Gear · Season 8, Episode 3

Jeremy, Richard and others in “May 21st, 2006”

[Trying to discover what sort of car Richard has bought during the Amphibious Car Challenge]

Jeremy

Hamster! How it's going?

Richard

Very well, thank you, very well indeed!

Jeremy

What are you doing? What've you got?

Richard

Err, it's, it's pretty... I don't wanna tell you, really, but it's pretty... sleek, um, as a road-going vehicle; as a boat I think it's gonna be a winner.

Jeremy

I bet it's a Lotus Esprit, isn't it?

Richard

Well, it's a monocoque [screws up face]. Um, so it, it has sort of sporting... pretensions.

Jeremy

And what're you going in terms of propulsion?

Richard

Uh, well, now, the, the, the, the... lot of power. I'm gonna... I'm gonna fully utilise the onboard power.

Jeremy

[voiceover] Hammond was keeping his cards close to his chest.

James

Hello?

Jeremy

May.

James

Clarkson.

Jeremy

Have you heard the Hamster?

James

Well, yeah, I did, but I can't get much out of him. He's now saying his car is rear-engined, but not a 911. I think he's bought an Hillman Imp and he's making a submarine.
