Some clarkson rants.

Koenigsegg are saying that the CCX is more comfortable. More comfortable than what… BEING STABBED?

This is the Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that’s much to shout about. That’s like saying ‘Ooh good I’ve got syphilis, the BEST of the sexually transmitted diseases.

Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... That's what gets you.

In the olden days I always got the impression that TVR built a car, put it on sale, and then found out how it handled. Usually when one of their customers wrote to the factory complaining about how dead he was.

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

Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It's like making a hard core 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.

On the Porsche Cayenne:

“Honestly, I have seen more attractive gangrenous wounds than this. It has the sex appeal of a camel with gingivitis.”

0-60 takes 5 and a half seconds...and about 17 gallons of fuel...

Something closer to home :

Whenever I'm suffering from Insomnia, I just look at a picture of a Toyota Camry and I'm straight off.

The Suzuki Wagon R should be avoided like unprotected sex with an Ethiopian transvestite.

Pointing at the handle starter on an electric start equipped Rolls Royce a cheeky customer asked the salesman if Rolls Royce was not too sure of the reliability of its electric starter that it felt the need to equip the car with a handle.

To which the witty salesman replied " Sire the chances of using that handle are as remote as you ever needing to use the nipples on your chest !! "

Jackie Stewart: It is not always possible to be the best, but it is always possible to improve your own performance

When you think you know it all, it's a sure sign you don't

The best way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a large one and work down from there

On racers that favored implementation of restrictor plates:
"If they don't want to go that fast, all they have to do is lift...and somebody better tie a kerosene soaked wrag around their legs to keep the ants from eating their candy a$$!"

As an instructor getting into a car for the first session with a student:
"don't try and impres me, you won't." "don't try and scare me, I already am."

Poverty is owning a racecar. (bumper sticker)

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece...but to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, and defiantly shouting "wow, what a ride." (On the back of a race car trailer somewhere).

"Here, hold my beer" - anybody before doing something arguably awesome

Wide open until you see God, then brake – unknown

6. “Koenigsegg are saying that the CCX is more comfortable. More comfortable than what… being stabbed?”

17. [On the Alfa Romeo Brera] “Think of it as Angelina Jolie. You’ve heard she’s mad and eats nothing but wallpaper paste. But you would, wouldn’t you?”

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

My favorites

1. “On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.” - Do I even need to say who said that?
2. "Anything happens in Grand Prix racing and it usually does" -Murray Walker
3. Murray: "What's that? There's a BODY on the track!!!" James: "Um, I think that that is a piece of BODY-WORK, from someone's car."

Re: Famous Automotive Quotes & One-Liners

You don't really don't understand cars and don't want the trouble of choosing one, you are mortally afraid of being laughed at your choice but consider yourself hip and trendy, you choose Swift. You are all these but too old to be hip and trendy, you choose the Ritz.

You want others to think that you are sophisticated, suave and knows all, but in reality have no clue as to what is going around, so you buy an i20.

You consider yourself knowledgeable, pragmatic and doesn't care about what others think, you get yourself a Ford Figo.

You are the person who understands cars and enjoy them like fine wine, you drive a Punto.
