'Tinkering' with it, when you have a Lancia, is just another way of saying 'trying to make it start'. You go to a Lancia, turn the key and think, "Right, I better just 'tinker' with it and see if we can coax some life into the thing".

I agree the price is a bit steep, it's perilously close to the Ferrari 599, but honestly, you cannot buy a DB9 anymore; you just can't do it.  Because one day, you will be sitting at a set of lights, someone will pull up alongside in one of these and you will feel hopeless and inadequate, and you will have to kill yourself.

On Segways "They’re made in America, of course, so fat Yanks can go to the fridge without expending any energy."

If you were to buy a [BMW] 6-series, I recommend you select reverse when leaving friends’ houses so they don’t see its backside.

It's like sitting on Dawn French!

On cars at a Max Power show "Most of these cars will do 0-60 once....and then they’ll blow up."

The air conditioning in Lamborghinis used to be an asthmatic sitting in the dashboard blowing at you through a straw.

The back of the BMW 6 series... it looks like a tramp's hat!

Clarkson on saving money How's this for an idea?...never brake

Supercars are supposed to run over Arthur Scargill, and then run over him again, for good measure. They're designed to melt ice-caps, kill the poor, poison the water table, destroy the ozone layer, decimate indigenous wildlife, recapture the Falkland Islands, and turn the entire Third World into a huge uninhabitable desert... but only after they've nicked all the world's oil.

On the Renault Clio V6 “I think the problem is that it’s French. It’s a surrendermonkey.”

Old jags are like living inside James May but this one is like living inside James Kirk

Doesn't matter if it's Hell in a Cell, Rage in a Cage or Painus in your anus!

Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It’s like making a hardcore adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You’d just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke’s sweaty face.

... And across the line!

on the porsche 911 this is ridiculous , me liking this is like gordon brown going to the polling booth and saying " do you know what i think im going to vote tory "..... maybe he did

I'll tell you what, Richard. You go around our track on your Hayabusa at top speed and I'll chain smoke and we'll see who dies first.

This is the new Maserati 4x4. It's called the Kubang, which being a Maserati, probably also the sound it'll make when the warranty expires.

Now what you get under the bonnet of this car is not an engine. You get a little field mouse named Gerald.

Hammond: "The premiums for 17 year old girls are around half what they are for 17 year old boys" Clarkson: "Well there's a Top Gear top tip right there! If you're a 17 year old and you need car insurance, slice your penis off."

When you buy a Honda, well, your stuck with a Honda.

What did the orphan kids get for Christmas? Cancer.

This is the thing you have to remember, Alfa build a car to be as good as a car can be... briefly.
