Conan's funny when he does his outside-the-studio bits. I remember he took his Ford Taurus to a Ferrari museum, and was telling them that his car was the most beautiful. I liked it when he did the old-time baseball thing too. The massage one was good too.

Back on topic - How can Jeremy beat a plane?

It will take into account waiting times and things like that imo - the other two are gonna run into some real probs methinks. Would be nice if he doesn't win tho imo - predictablity isn't fun.

well if may and hammond will hire a chopper with a pilot for the local transport (from the start to the airport and airport - ski resort) then jeremy is toast. so they will probably screw something up and jeremy will win.

Jeremy will find a way to make the ferrari to go 450mph...

He'll prolly drive it onto a C130 and then parachute the whole car out over the mountain...

Actually if he did that I wouldn't care if he won haha... just as long as the car didn't have a parachute.
