Default Quotes from JW's favorite TV motor shows

Do you think you pay lots of attention on car programmes? Then read the quotes and say who are they and what were they talking about.

1. I've never been able to fit inside. ... I got my knees under the dash, my feet on the pedals, but technically, you have to say I'm not really in the car.

2. It's the opera singer that can dance, the footballer that can play chess, it's the F1 driver who can hold a conversation.

3. It makes you wonder why Lamborghini makes such a fuss about having 4-wheel drive.

4. It corners like a house fly.

5. It's better than any other big four-door saloon. It's as though it's come down a pipeline from the gods.

6. Eeehee~!

7. I don't think I'll ever, ever want to get out of it.

8. It's not as Avant-garde as a 5-Series or as posh as a Merc.

9. I really like the center driving position. It's sort of McLaren F1 style-y.

10. It's like driving around in a giant fruity bathtub.

11. I'm speaking to you now from inside one of the Venturi tunnels!

12. All-you-can-eat family bargain bucket...

13. Some of us don't need leg room...

hint: 2004, BBC2, Five
