@POLAЯ 0.02: I am extraordinarily interested in the time the Blastolene Special would pull around the track. It might not be quick, necessarily, but it'll sure as hell be excellent to witness!

So, I wonder how long now before Jay ends up with a Mercedes 600 6.9L?

Some say, he can shape his helmet to give Jay Leno that, "You know you look like a total wanker acting like that", look.
All we know is... he's called the Stig.

When Leno did the Curly move in Stig's face, I sincerely expected Stig to lean over and snap his neck. But I guess that's inconsistent with the Stig's trademark impassivity.

I imagine there's about 45 minutes of footage on the cutting room floor where Leno and Clarkson discuss their love of denim.

@.357: congrats on le star.

This is really the ultimate clash of the car culture titans. Clarkson is so bull-headedly anti-american and Jay is just about the most visible American gearhead out there. I think this interview will either be hilarious or incredibly, wretchedly awkward.

Petrolhead vs. Gearhead. An epic clash of the titans. This week's show should be a good 'un.

New Panamera,too...

Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... Jay Leno.

Let's hope Jay Leno didn't buy any cars where they sit in Leno's garage and collecting dust.

@Syrax: That's true. At least we do see Leno and Glickenhaus driving some of their most prized possessions, and that's good to see.

It's like a trophy wife, really. If I married Megan Fox, I wouldn't put her in a cabinet on display. Hehe.

@Mobius_1000_Club: Leno owns a Desmosedici RR and actually rides it. He dwarfs it though, kinda funny to see.

@two wheels are enough: Wow, that bike is fat. Is he tall? Schumacher seems tall but I know he isn't (5'7, 5'8). Maybe it's the chin.

@Theimbellis:Leno actually drives his cars around. He shows up at this car meetup in Pasadena once in a while that's held in the parking lot of a Sears. I've seen him broken down with one on the side of the 101/405

@bens09: Pffft. Letterman (partially) owns a race team. That's the most bang for your automotive buck right therr. And Letterman's not a dick about it, like Leno. What, is Leno afraid to use cars for they were built to do? Down with the Chin!!!

@Gnourt-R: No way. If a car is on fire, or snapped in half, that means it's actually being used for car-things.

@Theimbellis: Leno actually drives his cars. I saw on another show he was driving one of his Dusenbergs, just cruising around. For awhile there he was commuting to his show in his Model A or T (it slips my mind which one) and I have seen other things where they showed Lenos parking space to see what he drove in that day.
