Top Gear, Series 12

[later in the news]

James:
Do you remember Chevrolet in the early Corvettes, they had a little dial that showed you how many revs the engine had done. From new.

Jeremy:
Revs?

James:
Revs, yeah.

Jeremy:
What, going around at five thousand RPM, be going rrrrr...! It would have to be this... [holds out arms] be wider than the car just to get the dial in!

James:
Well, I worked it out for my old Porsche, actually.

Jeremy:
You what?

James:
My old Porsche's twenty five years old - I worked out it had done 8.4 times ten to the eight (8.4x10^8 = 840 million) revs since...

Richard:
You worked that out? For - your - car? You spent time - WOW! So you must actually have done everything there is to do in the whole world to get to the bottom of the list of everything a human being can do - what's it like on the top of Everest? Is it good?

James:
It's alright.

Jeremy:
Richard - I went to a dinner party the other day and I sat next to a girl who said she couldn't believe that James May was still single.

Richard:
There's your answer!
