Here's what I could find -
The quote was apparently in Season 1 Episode 5 "Beasts of Burden" of "Jay Leno's Garage" not Top Gear. There is no active, current link of that episode online that I could find.

AI gave me a summary - but it may be having a stroke

The video you are looking for is a specific segment titled "Beasts of Burden" (Episode 105) from the first season of the Jay Leno's Garage television series on CNBC.

While the Knight XV was featured in a web segment around 2011, the specific philosophical commentary you're describing about horses comes from this later TV episode. In it, Jay Leno delivers a monologue explaining that for thousands of years, horses were merely tools used for heavy labor and war. He argues that the invention of powerful mechanical "beasts" (like the Knight XV and fire trucks) performed the "burden" so well that it effectively liberated horses, allowing them to become the revered, beloved animals of sport and companionship they are today.

Best I could do was find this much watered-down quote on YouTube:

James May and Jay Leno Review "The Future of Motoring" - Top Gear Classic
Channel: Top Gear Classic

The "chat" with Jay Leno starts @ 4:30 and the quote @ 5:30
The car being discussed in this video is the Honda Clarity

I think that Jay needs to learn some real stuff about Pasture Poodles. There's a whole batch of war shit (which became dressage) which involved a warrior/knigget developing a working bond with his war poodle such that they both did fighting stuff (shit). Horses are attuned enough to seek a connection with humans when they learn to trust them. Calypso sought me out at a simpler level, and he did it because it was his idea.

And I thought large poodles were/are dumb . . . .

I generally sell them for medical experiments.

Uh-oh... look out, dad. Gracie's putting a claim on mom.
Adorable

She is tookening over.

Ok, I do live in a pine forest for a reason

I kinda like a pine forest but I have never lived in one.

I also seem to be (at least mostly) okay with allergies, thanks be to Allah for his manifold blessings and great mercies.

Rub it in, buddy. *phbbbt*

There was a fuck-up with the concrete crew after 1700. What the ever loving fuck is with this herd of st000pid motherfuckers anyway? There was an e-mail. Great. I don't have time for emails. Want to talk? Call me - it's easy. (Several of you have, and all have lived to tell about it.) Well, the PM (whom we need a nickname for - something better'n Shit Ferbrainz) have to go-ahead, except no one knew what was going to happen and so no one did anything. They showed up and fucked up two breezeway floors with concrete patch, and Manglement got a call from a pissed off resident. You can guess the rest.

Two more people next week. I wonder if them will do anything . . . .

That wasn't the point, but you had to hurt me anyway.



No idea how I got off the hook.

Subconscious masochism?

Needs to touch grass and get his hands dirty. Sounds like the POV of those generals who "lead from the rear" if you ask me

It sucks muchly! Self-care can be boring but helps get the job done. Eyes on the prize, Alex!

Get a high return on the dollar, do you?
My folks would threaten to sell us to Gypsies.
Those travelers have no idea just how lucky they are

*insert short clip of Bill Hicks saying, "coup, coup"*
Just the intonation of those two words - nothing else.

Haven't thought of him in years. I discovered him... right after he passed away, but didn't hear of his death for another decade. Do I have my thumb on the pulse of pop culture or what?
His stand up is way too political for this thread though.

So, I moved back to my home town because I had a spinal surgery and spent most of a year impersonating an appliance. The wound vac had... insufficient battery capacity..

I stayed because some of my family need 24/7 care and not paying me is cheaper than home health care.

 

[likes2watchU]

Well, the PM (whom we need a nickname for - something better'n Shit Ferbrainz)

Pussyass Motherfucker has a nice sound... PM for short... that's a lot of word salad to spit out in a hurry

Then again, there's always the classic:

The children right?

I never even considered the alternative
Nah - Wat values life (his own, I mean)

1 - Yikes!! I hope you're well recovered? Sounds very intense

2 - please apply the swear to them as well. Home health care is a lot of work. It's not a freebie even when money does not exchange hands

When friends started calling me "Cinderella" and my sisters-in-law started echoing their sentiments (but not the nickname - that's a secret)... I started to view things differently.

I'm still supportive, caring, and dependable... but less available than I was previously.

And the surviving weasels.


Bo deals with the rest.

I got to keep my OEM parts, but my butt is not my own. It is a wrong shape. Not mine at all.

Instead of paying me, they like setting off my panic attacks and triggering my migraines. Then they get mad when I ask them not to do those things. What I really need is therapy according to them so I dont get panic attacks from them, not a change in their behavior

Leed or led? Lead (led) in the rear.

Some kind of tookening is going on, and not one we need details about.

In other news, that 1928 Chrysler roadster is a little looker.

Wat has several. Wants a Prohibition car. Think: gangster car from when gangsters were OG.

Okay... but do you like it? I mean, is it an... upgrade?

May I respectfully suggest...

It's a flip response to a more serious subject
apologies
still my first thought when my family does it

I come from a place where corn don't grow, cuz the dirt's too rocky by far. Thats why all the folks on Rocky Top get their corn in a jar...

From the way too much info department, I have a massive scar down my spine from about an inch below in line with my belly button down to the tip of the tail bone. One butt cheek is flatter than the other. It is not an upgrade.

And I appreciate your humor, but if I leave someone will die, and even though other people who are actually nurses can be a better nurse than my "im an engineer" ass, I will blame myself. It is what I am the very best at

It's not ugly... it's low-poly... *snerk* I get it. Curves are hard in CAD

That's you? You're the Greeting Card Butt Model?!? I see your work everywhere!

Scars are just landmarks for bad neighborhoods we moved away from... glad they could fix you up.

I know... shit situation. I'm so sorry My being glib doesn't help much either. Both the one departing and those staying... they are all lucky to have you.
