BBC television broadcast today (Sunday), an interview and some footage of Jay driving around a test track as part of the Top Gear show. In the "Star In A Reasonably Priced Car" feature, Jay raced around the test track only two seconds slower than a professional racing driver, but he still managed to drive the car off the track in an earlier test drive! In a interview also shown, Jay spoke about his collection and how he became interested in cars from a very early age.
