Quotes

”The only thing between most people and a seven-hundred, or eight-hundred horsepower car is a few thousand dollars.”

”When I go to my grave, I want to be able to say that what you heard in that review is what I really thought.”

”A lot of business is taking on responsibility and risk. I’ve stepped up immediately and taken responsibility for things.”

”Tires can be the difference between winning a race and dying a fiery death.”

”Let me be clear, I do come from a place of moderate privilege. I had advantages that other people didn’t have. I’m aware of that. I’m not sorry for it. It just is what it is.”

”Top Gear is a scripted show, from beginning to end. And I don’t work like that. I’m one of a few people who can do a whole show without a script, without needing to be told what to say or do, and I’d rather do that.”

”Even a mostly terrible car, like the stock Mitsubishi Lancer I drove, if its maintained well and has decent tires on it, will be an acceptable driving experience.”

”I grew up pretty much obsessed with cars. I used to drag race in high school. I thought it would be cool to be one of the guys that could write for the magazines.”

”I’ve owned a 1994 Mustang GT, which I converted into a Cobra R clone with a 347 Stroker motor. I’ve had a 2005 Audi S4, a 2006 John Cooper Works Mini, my 2010 Ford Raptor 6.2, and of course my cherished 1998 Corvette, which I bought new and only has 26,000 original miles.”
