"Slightly Turbo-Charged" Probably my all time favorite Top Gear quote!

[@grisznik]

Ian Thompson One of my favorites here is Bruce's quote 'what the hell is in that van...'

[@appelpower1]

+grisznik Or 'You could've warned me, I had the shock of my life', though that's largely because of Hammond's delivery of the line.

[@grisznik]

appelpower1 Yeah, but 'what the hell is in that van' is the winner for me, the timbre of the voice, the disbelief...

[@appelpower1]

grisznik Well, it's probably the better of the two...

It's a bit late for telling, but as far as I know, it's Jeremy's way of delivery. He really have the habit of using "an" rather incorrectly. I guess, that way, he could stress more whatever the object is that he's going to tell. And in fairness, pragmatically, people will understand what he's saying without any problem. It's spoken, anyway...not written.

[@dudepool7530]

Wow... this clip reminds me of my old van days so much... beating a car no one expected me to in a race, sharing driving duties... except we sat in the same seat, person on the right hand side steered that way, and operated the gas. the left was brake, and left turns. It actually worked quite well, though we never did it on a busy street, or in live traffic. Always late at night, on a barely used road. It was also really roomy inside, and whoever was on the right was always prepared to jump off, and leave it to the right. Man, I did some really stupid shit as a kid... Like parking-lot surfing. Stupid, but so much fun!
