There is an excellent car review article by James in the latest issue of TG magazine, and it includes this wonderful analogy of the sun appearing for a short time on a rainy day: 'Briefly, the sun tweaked the grey curtains of its heavenly residence and had a peek out.'
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love James's writing! ;D

Seconded XJS.
His descriptive prose rivals any of the great writers of serious literature. That sentance will go into my quotes document. Thanks for posting it.

My absolute favourite is this one that chariset uses on her posts, probably because I think it is just so bloody clever.
"All the best things in the world came out of sheds: the aeroplane, television, radio, the power loom, home-brew, blasphemy, potted hyacinths, the machine gun and, if we stretch the definition a bit further, Jesus."

Toy Stories Ep 1 - when the woman, Poppy is making the mask of James for the Airfix 1:1 Spitfire.
Poppy: We’ll use a bald cap so you can feel what it’s like to have no hair and then we’ll start doing your face first then we’ll work our way down the body.
James: Right, including the joy stick!
And then a silly little giggle! Adorable

I've just watched "My Sister's Top Toys" and I love it when he says "Little sister, look away now", then blows up that horrid tree toy house things and laughs in delight.

Ithat horrid tree toy house thing I used to have one of those and I quite liked it, IIRC I remember being quite fond of mine. I NEVER used it as a handbag, but I did enjoy working out how the catch on the top and the little lift worked. I was far more interested in making things go up and down in the lift than actually getting involved in 'make believe' play with it ;D

I've heard/read the first part of this quote many times, but I don't think I've read its conclusion before!
"a dishevelled arty bird driving something like a knackered convertible. A nice girl in a crap car - it's the motoring equivalent of erotic naked mud-wrestling
(from the Dave website)

"Hello." And then later xD "You have to start with 'Hello'!" I love when he says hello <3
"YES! YES! I WON A TOP GEAR EVENT! YES!" The crazy enthusiasm and over-happiness (if that’s a word XD) in his voice kills me everytime!
"Cock. This is a massive 'Oh cock'"
"Actually, Gordon, there's something else I've discovered in that test, if you're watching. And that is... I know when I'm too hot."

This made me laugh a lot. It's from their comments video at the end of S15:
"...it was the most stupid thing I've ever done,apart from adjusting the seat of the aeroplane during takeoff."

fallatyourfeet, I thought that was hysterical! I can just imagine him fiddling with his seat and trying to pull up at the same time. Oh good grief! ;D

Whenever he says "Aww, look at that!" (e.g. the baby elephants in Botswana.)
RH: "Look at it, and it's made of carbotanium." JM: "Carbotanium...it's a good idea they didn't call it titbon."

"The point about the 'bikers beware' sign is that it's sign shorthand so you can read it at speed. There's no point making a sign saying 'Motorcyclists: have you considered that there may be a cantankerous, pig-headed, middle-aged man with pubes for hair driving around in a stupidly overpowered Mercedes that should be a four-seater but hasn't got a back seat and yet costs twice as much'...the sign would be enormous." ;D

He mentioned that incident in an interview with the Daily Mail last year, and I was reminded of it when I first saw that video. It was actually very dangerous as well as stupid! Here's the relevant extract from that interview:- I probably shouldn't admit this, but I was recently on the final approach to an airfield in my light aircraft when I went to close the throttle, pulled the mixture lever by mistake and killed the engine. I managed to glide it in, just, but what an idiot.
Not as bad, though, as the time I was taking off on my own and I realised I had the seat too upright. I reached down and pulled the seat-adjusting lever... but of course, because I was in a climb, the seat just fell away behind me. And because I was holding the yoke, I pulled that back and sent the plane into a vertical climb... I nearly stalled, which at 300ft would have certainly killed me.
People would have looked in the wreckage and thought, why was he flying with his seat reclined? I've never told anyone about that before.

"If each individual fact known about the Eiffel Tower were written on a piece of bog roll, Paris could wipe its bum for a month." (Toy Stories reruns are on SBS at the moment ) "I suppose you're the headless pizza boy of the apocalypse, are you?" "Nobody gives a pig's arse about all that diesel stuff." JC: "Guys, can I ask one question?" JM: "What?" JC: "Where's France?" JM: "You follow the ferry...but not the one going to Holland."

North Pole rant. ;D "Can I just make it absolutely clear, now, that I'm only here because the producers said I had to be. I don't like snow. I hate being cold. I hate outdoor pursuits. I hate the idea that I've got to 'push my body to find the limit'. I can't stand this stupid clothing that makes this rustling noise when you move all the time and I hate the zips and the toggles and all the pockets, and that, and I hate your stupid truck."

James' take on the British motorhome... "It has been lightly dusted with little things that make it feel like a 'home from home'. Little signs that life's essentials are still with you to comfort you. Things like this exquisitely turned pine kitchen roll-dispensing rotating item. And a clock...look...look at this, it's positively Jacobean...and a coat-hook in the shape of an elephant, so that when you hang your coat up, you can't tell the time anymore. But we don't expect a lot in Britain." Gee, can't wait. ;D

A couple of quotes from the quiz show Petrolheads, on which he was a guest panellist on Richard's team.
Identifying a road sign that depicts a man falling, and having been informed that it's from China: "End of Great Wall approaching".
Identifying another road sign, which shows a very basic drawing of a mouse: "You are entering an area of really piss poor cartoonists".
;D

Talking about the Mercedes McLaren SLR Roadster: "...which is now officially the fastest convertible in the world. It'll do 206 miles per hour, with the roof down. But if a bluebottle flies over the top of the windscreen at that speed, and hits you in the middle of your forehead, it'll go straight through.......... .....it's own arse." ;D

A few from Drink to Britain... "Tra la bloody la." "Don't slam the door, you fathead." "That's why Irish drinkers are always unconscious. They've all been elbowed in the face." "You're about as Irish as my arse, and that came from Bristol." ;D
