found some quotes from the american show

Richard Hammond: All they've got to talk about on that C.B. is the weather, and prostitutes. [adopts a southern drawl to imitate the trucker on the C.B.] Yeah, It's rainin', ah, I'm goin' north, and I'm lookin' for a whore.

Jeremy Clarkson: God Florida's awful! Nasty insects, old people, fat people - a lot of people who all offer you cheese: [adopts American accent] 'you want cheese with that? You want cheese with that'? And then they shoot you.

The Slogans Painted n the Cars:

James's car:
Hilary for president
NASCAR sucks
I'm Bi

Richard's car:
Man-love rules OK

Jeremy's car:
Country and western is rubbish

A car infront of me today had "Man Love Rocks" enscribed in the dirt on the back of it.

Not exactly "Man Love Rules - OK" but hilarious nonetheless. TG was probably their inspiration!

Never let it be said that Top Gear is trapped in the past. Times move on, things change, and we must all adapt and embrace new technologies.

Like biofuel, for example. OK, the stuff may smell like a particularly fetid kebab shop and require vast swathes of perfectly good countryside to produce, but apparently it's the future.

Intrepid entrepreneurs that our presenters are, they decided to see how easy it would be to produce their own fuel. Especially when they found out that it meant playing round in some big tractors on our test track.

Can the boys make enough fuel to power a car? And can Stig powerslide a tractor? Find out in our greenest episode yet...

Raging bull
You know how it is when you're out shopping for supercars. Sometimes you want a nice understated one, just to pop down to the shops in or ferry Granny to her bridge night.

Sometimes, however, you want a hulking lump of barely contained fury - an outrageously loud and unmissable display of brain-melting aggression.

You want, in other words, a Lamborghini. And with the new LP640 Murcielago out - six-and-a-half-litres of V12 fury - there's never been a better way to give a firm middle-finger salute to, well, everyone... if you've got the best part of two hundred grand lying around.

After a gentle day of rural pottering, what better way to restart the adrenaline than a foot-flat-to-the-floor road test in the meanest Lambo ever?

Kristin Scott Thomas
Yes, Jeremy has finally convinced the woman of his dreams to come on the show. If you don't know already, JC has a bit of a thing for the sophisticated actress from The English Patient.

Actually, that's not true. He has a very big thing for her. We're a bit worried he won't actually make it through the interview.

How will Kristin fare in our Reasonably Priced Car? Will Jeremy remember how to speak English? Will the entire front row of the audience be drenched in Clarkson saliva?

After watching it the other night I just want to throttle ( :) ) Clarkeson. What the hell is he on about when he talks about how many "torques" a car has???? Bloody hell, a car has torque, and how much of it is measured in foot/pounds or kg/Metres  or Newton/Metres....torque is a thing, not things.  Bloody Div!

Wel, that;s what I think too - but it seems the ideal show for someone who gets offended by someone saying torques rather than torque...

Yer it was.

actually am starting to lose interest, in what was my fav show, because week-in and week-out I get the feeling that everything they do is scripted, I mean take today's show for example, when Hammond run in to the car behind him with his track, I mean you either have to be blind or extremely stupid to do such thing. there were countless other examples I could give you. they need to get back to basics.
