Richard Hammond: [discussing Sabine's Schmitz drive round Nurburgring] Don’t forget, she was only half a second a mile behind you, and she was in this van.
Jeremy Clarkson: I think we should explain. The Nurburgring, as I’m sure some of you know, is sort of open the whole time. You can pay five pounds to go on a lap, so there were other cars out there as well.
Richard Hammond: It was just an ordinary day, and you saw them. There were guys in their Porsches, “Look at me in my Porsche, ha ha!” and they were overtaken by a van. Driven by a girl!

James May: [looking through the survey results] I’ve just noticed, looking though these results, that ten of the thirteen bottom cars are French.
Jeremy Clarkson: That’s possibly why they’re burning them in Paris at the moment!
James May: I think they’re just catching fire by themselves!

Richard Hammond: [talking about the Ford GT] How much time have you spent in petrol stations on the way here?
Jeremy Clarkson: Look, the fact of the matter is, Richard, I prefer to spend my money on petrol than on teeth whitening.
Richard Hammond: I have not had my teeth whitened!

James May: What’s the point. You can’t powerslide lorries anyway.
Richard Hammond: Technically, you can’t powerslide anything.

Richard Hammond: [Talking about the Ford GT's poor fuel economy and the fact that Jeremy is getting one] And actually, 17 and a half gallon tank. 4… 4 miles to the gallon, how far does that mean you will be able to go in your car before you ran out of petrol?
Jeremy Clarkson: 75 miles.
Richard Hammond: 75 miles?
Jeremy Clarkson: Yeah.
Richard Hammond: Well, how far then do you live, for instance, from the Top Gear office?
Jeremy Clarkson: 76 miles.
