Top Gear, Series 8

James:
Now, look at this. A bloke stole a Mercedes McLaren SLR, which is one of the fastest cars in the world. We have to agree it's on the top of our board, but it was fitted with one of those tracker devices, so the police could trace it. They caught him after 40 minutes, d'you know how far he'd gone in that time?

[Jeremy and Richard shrug shoulders]

James:
12 miles!

[Laughter]

Richard:
What was he doing?

Jeremy:
That's the least ambitious thief in the world.

James:
That's an average speed of 18 miles per hour.

Richard:
Why did he nick it?

James:
I dunno, but I would like to appeal to him, if he's been let out by the home secretary, which he almost certainly has been... [Laughter and applause] ...if you'd like to steal a motor vehicle and travel around the place at 18 miles per hour, could you nick my Honda 90?
