dog book taken
She can take a year to read something, whereas I like a book that becomes more important in my life that life itself. When I was in the middle of 'Red Storm Rising' by Tom Clancy - which was not selected for the Man Booker shortlist - you could have taken my liver out and fed it to the dog. And I wouldn't have noticed.
morning mean thinking
If you are clinically insane, by which I mean you wake up in the morning, and you think you are an onion, this is your car, (about the BMW X3).
looks being-smart smarter
Being smarter than you look is better than looking smarter than you are.
cutting should-have fog
Speed focuses the mind. It cuts through the fog of drab everyday living and keeps us on our toes. Speed works. Speed saves lives. Speed is good. And we should have more of it, not less.
fun air car
This car is more fun than the entire French air force crashing into a firework factory.
awful cost realising
I started to realise that being impolite saves an awful lot of time and costs you nothing.
sorry sleep aston-martin
I'm sorry, but having an Aston Martin DB9 on the drive and not driving it is a bit like having Keira Knightley in your bed and sleeping on the couch.
gay sides feminine
I'm not only in touch with my feminine side, I'm in touch with my gay side as well.
insomnia suffering looks
Whenever I’m suffering from insomnia, I just look at a picture of a Toyota Camry and I’m straight off.
girl zoos men
You have city centre pubs where men go to meet girls, not realising that all girls in city centre pubs have thighs like tug boats and morals that would surprise a zoo animal.
top-gear faster cool-cars
A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
ice ideas iron
Cows eat grass and silage. This is melting the ice caps and killing us all. So they need a new foodstuff: something that is rich in iron, calcium and natural goodness. Plainly they cannot eat meat so here is an idea to chew on. Why not feed them vegetarians?
mistake glasses two
It’s what non-car people don’t get. They see all cars as just a ton and a half, two tons of wires, glass, metal, and rubber, and that’s all they see. People like you or I know we have an unshakable belief that cars are living entities… You can develop a relationship with a car and that’s what non-car people don’t get… When something has foibles and won’t handle properly, that gives it a particularly human quality because it makes mistakes, and that’s how you can build a relationship with a car that other people won’t get.
thinking car special
You're a car, but most of all, what you are, what you've become, is a mate. And that's what makes a car special. That's what makes a car great. You start to think of it as a person. You start to love it.
