An anonymous, but reliable, source has informed us Jay Leno was spotted filming for Top Gear's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment today. Jay Leno on Top Gear? Sounds like he's enjoying his "retirement."

T'is indeed true. He was on BBC Radio 2 today talking about it.

Dan9-1 · July 8th, 2009, 7:36 PM

Excellent news! have been waiting for that for a while. I heard he was here for Goodwood, didn't know he was doing anything else

Regardless should probalby change the title so it in itself isn't a spoiler when people log on the main board.

All I can say is it's about time. Very exciting.

vikiradTG2007 · July 8th, 2009, 7:46 PM

That is pretty brilliant, to be honest. images/smilies/smile.gif

Though we know that someone else is the guest this week, they can shoe in the interview later on like they did with the Simon Cowell lap in 10x05.

UNLESS Usain Bolt is a red herring. They've done that before too. Yup, that's where my money is. We were all kind of raising an eyebrow at Bolt and wondering how he fit into Top Gear. It's been a long time since the Olympics, he's not known as a car nut, and he isn't even British!

Edit: Thanks mod for changing the title.

If the OP's info proves correct, then that definitely means they're repeating the move which they did with Cowell.

Dan9-1 · July 8th, 2009, 8:08 PM

Thanks lol, I thought about it afterwards, but then didn't know how to change the tittle, sorry for being a bit noobish, won't happen again

Now, you have absolutely no one to blame but yourself for that. images/smilies/smile.gif

Viper has done everything possible to save you from yourself. I keep saying I don't want to read spoilers, yet I still do. Then again I also say I won't eat ice cream and do that too.

Speedtouch · July 8th, 2009, 10:57 PM

^ Yeah I know - I'm not blaming anyone other than myself. It's just that underlying need to know something that other people don't. Damn human curiosity.

JoyceWatkins · July 9th, 2009, 12:09 AM

This will be great! Can't wait! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

flydiscovery · July 9th, 2009, 2:58 AM

Jay posted on his website not too long ago. He was most certainly AT Dunsfold. He reports riding in a McLaren. No mention of a certain blue Chevrolet.

I've been waiting for so long for Leno to get a chance to be the SIARPC! I love Jay and can't wait for what should be a phenomenal interview. Even if he's not in the Lacetti, it's still great to finally see him on Top Gear turf.

smolik · July 9th, 2009, 12:00 PM

Jay Leno, Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher in the same season? images/smilies/clap.gif

flydiscovery · July 9th, 2009, 2:58 PM

I'm going to be very disappointed if he was truly only at Dunsfold with the McLaren team and only dropped by Top Gear to say hello.

check the site again, he updated it with a pic of him and stig.
