From Top Gear, any of his columns or books or any of his other works, whatever, what are your all time favourite quotes from the Great One himself? Here are a few of mine; "I've got a people carrier, I'm a bit of a Piddington." "I want to go home smelling like a Bugatti" "I've got my travel rabbit, I've got my aftershave and I've got my shirt, and I've got my headless businessman." "OH DAMN AND BLAST!!!! I've just sewn myself to the machine!"  |

with the great adventure DVD on high rotation at the mo, it would have to be
"Sitrep on the Lancia... it's all broken"

Surely the title of this thread should be "The best Jezza quotes...................in the world"?!? ;D

i don't know why, why these have always struck me funny: "I'm a clot and I've ruined my car...AND I'VE WON!!!" AND "It's a good thing he didn't do it on the London underground. He'd get arrested for getting on public transport with it hanging out." |

Where does that second one come from? I don't think I have ever heard/read that one before! |

My favorite recurring quote: "Sweeeeeeeeeet!"
"I've been killed! I've definitely been killed."
"I think Koenigsegg is Swedish for 'oh no, my head has just exploded!"
"I love the fact that James thinks that monkeys are in some way the greatest peril that we're facing...in the next hour of our lives."
"It's on fire!"
"Why do 17 percent of the British people want to do this? 'I know...for our holiday, let's empty our turds out ourselves.'"
"Some time the next afternoon, it was morning."
"This is Top Gear! Do I have a vacuum cleaner? No!"
One of my personal favorites: (after driving the Rolls into a pool) "Who do I see about my check?"

Nicked from Wikiquotes...
Jeremy: But unfortunately, its driver had become bored with waiting. [Clarkson walks up to the Audi S4 with the Stig asleep at the wheel and knocks on the windscreen] Stiggy! Wakey wakey! Listen. We're gonna do a race. Okay? You're going to drive the Audi, and see if you can get past the Cadillac. Okay?
[the Stig stares back through his helmet]
Jeremy: [looking back at the camera] You think that's gone in?

"The manufacturers say that this is more comfortable... More comfortable than what? Being stabbed??" Think that was the Koenigsegg again, the second one ;D

Also, can I ask, where is this one from, it isn't ringing a bell with me at the moment - "Some time the next afternoon, it was morning." It's from the Winter Olympics Special. I forgot which part (I'm assuming it was during the bit with the rocket-powered Mini) but that line just sprang up in my head, causing me to giggle endlessly for ten minutes. I was watching the British Leyland challenge last night on DVD, and I forgot about this line after James has done the "drive on the bumpy road with the eggs over your head" test: "He looks like a spaniel that's crashed into the back of a hen!" ;D |

"That's not gone well!"
