[On the Porsche Boxster]
Meet the new Boxster, same as the old Boxster.
[Later on]
This is a bargain. The best we ever had!

[The Top Gear Awards]
Now, elsewhere in the world, awards are awarded to reward excellence. But here, on the Top Gear awards, we like to award an award that rewards a car that we found particularly unrewarding... in 2... 2004... that's not quite right, is it?
And the Hyundai Accent, which is wretched, whatever engine it has, but we were particularly depressed with three-cylinder diesel version. It really is less fun than drowning!
(After being presented the Golden Cock award) "I am the Golden Cock!"
[on the Mustang GT]
The problem is, where as other muscle cars like the Charger had the good grace to die young, the Mustang lives on.
S5 E8December 19th, 2004
[During the opening sequence.]
On tonight's show it's all about challenges! Which can get down a mountain the fastest: a rally car or a bobsleigh? Are modern-day showroom cars faster than racing cars from not that long ago? And can a Formula 1 Renault get round our track... in less than a minute?
[on the bobsled run]
Apparently it hits 6 and a half Gs in some of those corners down there. The driver's told me that he's been doing this for six years and he's 3 centimetres shorter. I can't afford to lose 3 centimetres!!
[during the bobsled run]
[shouting] I don't want to die in tights!
[on the French]
They are a bunch of treacherous, lamb-burning, work-shy peasants.
France is a country you have to drive through to get to Italy. That's all it's for.
[regarding the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti]
DDDover Dock Guard
Is this your vehicle?
D'ya know what? It isn't, no!
[to Richard] You're wearing tights. I can't take lectures on physics from a man in tights. Dancing, yes. Physics, no.
[after entering Switzerland, which he refers to as being in the "automotive dark ages"]
The trouble with Switzerland is that they have no tolerance for speed or noise or cars, if Steve McQueen in the Great Escape made the jump into Switzerland, he'd be arrested for reckless driving.
[after being overtaken by Jeremy in his Ferrari]
Permission to say 'cock' for the second time this y... I've even abandoned my luggage!
[on driving the Ferrari 612 in the race to Verbier] Then you get to the Alpine pass. Them on their bus: dg dg dg dg dg dg! And you're just like, ahhhnn ahhnn ahhnnnn, trying to catch them up!
[while on the train, updating Jeremy's position] Jeremy, I've just calculated, is about here [points on map, east of Dijon] at the side of the road, talking to a gendarme. But, in a few hours' time, he'll be up here [points to centre of Paris] in a place called Le Bastille. [Richard nearly spit-takes]
S5 E9December 26th, 2004
[During the opening sequence.]
Tonight: we splash about in a supercharged German army halftrack; the "What Not to Wear" girls show us how not to drive; and I go Bo! Selecta in an Ariel Atom.
