Some of the best quotes of 2013

It's been quite a year for interviews on TopGear.com.

Arnold Schwarzenegger told us about his car collection (including a tank). Ken Block revealed he'd rather fight one hundred duck sized horses than a horse-sized duck. Kris Meeke warned us on the dangers of suicidal animals. Christian Horner revealed why he picked Daniel Ricciardo over Kimi Raikkonen. Mika Hakkinen told us everything.

And Taki Inoue (above)? He told us about testicles and crashing and... well, you'll just have to read the full interview to understand the madness. Trust us, it's worth it.

Here, for your delectation, is TopGear.com's year in quotes.

"Because my hand is weak, I use a special hydraulic system that operates a mechanical sequential gearbox. Without it it'd be virtually impossible to drive it because of the damage to my hand. It doesn't affect my driving though."

"Something went wrong, and I fell 27 feet headfirst into the street. No, scratch that, I fell face-first. I apparently got my hands out in front of me to break the fall, because afterwards I had compound fractures on both wrists, and the right side of my face was pretty much destroyed."

"I remember being around when we were receiving the first parts for the first prototype One-77. Just unwrapping these beautiful carbon fibre bits and machined engine parts was like Christmas every day."

"When balls move, brain is fine. When big crash, scissors, take off the overalls, see the balls, hit the balls, then when balls move, this guy's fine. If balls don't move, then there's a problem with brain damage, I think."

"I was under-fed and had to over-train. My wife was like, 'please, just eat something!' It changes your personality in some weird ways. I remember going somewhere and thinking, ‘Who am I? I've got nothing to say.' Absolutely nothing was firing..."
