[Introducing Nigel Mansell]

He was the Formula 1 world champion and the American Indy car champion at the same time, and he was also Britain's highest paid sportsman, and he achieved all this despite being born with a moustache.

[on Nigel Mansell's moustache]

I always thought it was interchangeable with your eyebrows.

[Starting off the car vs. plane race]

Now normally when we have these races Jeremy goes in a car and says "POWEEEEEEER" a lot, and Richard and I will go on a ferry, or a train, or an airliner, or whatever. But this time it's slightly different because I've been learning to fly.

So you see, the scene was set, okay? It would be Captain Captain Slow and his Hammond hand luggage in a private plane versus me in a car.

[in May's Cessna 182.]

We've got no bloody forks!

Stop whinging about the ruddy in-flight food, man! And don't jig about because we're climbing... We're struggling in a minute...

I am not jigging! How rubbish is this thing if I can't even lift a chocolate bar to my face without it crashing into a mountain?

[on May's Cessna 182.]

What's it called?

[to Jeremy on the phone] Cessna 182; I think "182" refers to the number of quid it cost, I suspect.

Captain Slow is up there in his washing machine. I will not be beaten by a washing machine.

That isn't so much a throttle that my right foot's on, it's a hyperspace button. World's going backwards!

[on the phone with an insurance company]

Hello, are you the people who can "quote me happy" ?

[after the above attempt failed]

I've spent half an hour talking to a man, telling him where you were born, how many children you've got, where you live, what your postcode is, and then he says "Is a Bugatti a Rover?". Well, they've quoted me miserable there.

[on the Veyron]

Even though there are these huge cooling ducts here and the engine has no cover at all, that thing has ten radiators. Three to cool the engine itself, three for the intercoolers, one to do the axle oil, one to do the engine oil and one to cool the hydraulic fluid used to raise that rear spoiler. It's got more radiators than my house!

YOU UNBEARABLE MAN, I CAN'T STAND IT!!! [after arriving at the destination for the Veyron vs. Plane race to find Jeremy had already arrived about a minute earlier]

S7 E6December 27th, 2005

[During the opening sequence.]

Tonight: Can a Mazda go faster than a dog? Can a frog go faster than a Peugeot? And can I go faster than... myself?

[on the Stig]

Some say that his heart is in upside down, and that his teeth glow in the dark... all we know is, he's called the Stig.
