How about the episode when Jeremy drives that old rolls into a pool during the grand opening!!! The look on the mayors (I believe it was the mayor) face was priceless

That's a classic for sure.

My favorite was when they did the 24 hour enduro in the BMW 330d.

i nvr keep up with the series but everytime i watch it its always funny, the only two i remember was the one where Jimmy ripped apart (saying it was bad) a new (at the time) 08 BMW, and the most recent one i saw a little bit of was when the three of them made a car into a boat or something like that.

i like his quotes. here are a few.

I’d like to consider Ferrari as a scaled down version of God

Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary… that’s what gets you.

Whenever I’m suffering from insomnia, I just look at a picture of a Toyota Camry and I’m straight off

A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster

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.

The Toyboata episode. May made a sailboat out of an Austin Healy I think. Maybe an MG.

I enjoyed the "amphibious vehicle" episode

I thought the comparison of a top-end Lotus to a base Mustang GT a joke....they wanted to guarantee a win for the British car. (not that it's not a nice one.) For a car 1/2 the price, the Mustang did pretty well. The Lotus would have had it's hands full if they had done a proper comparison - Lotus vs GT500.
