[on the car's loss in the race]
Can I clear something up? I don't get this. Watching the film, you get the impression that the car arrive fifteen minutes after everybody else. Now if I remember correctly when I got there, James, you were already there and had been for ages.
He was, and you know something else? I distinctly remember my boat blew up and I was killed!
Yes, and I'm pretty sure I remember going straight past Hammond with his head stuck in some railings.
That happened!
And you know what? London doesn't have a river, so I couldn't have done it by boat! And there you go, what Top Gear - which is a trusted, factual, award winning show - has proved is, despite what you saw in that stupid and misleading film the car was the fastest!
