Jay Leno’s Room of the Giants
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 янв 2014
- We're back at Jay Leno's shop in California to have some fun in his "Room of the Giants." They fire up a 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special, and of course Jay keeps Dennis on the edge of his seat when they take this massive road rocket out on the streets of LA. But first, we check out a pair of early-1900s mega roadsters with airplane engines; Jay’s 300HP Hispano Suiza and a 1921 Benz-Mercedes Race Car.
A giant room full of Jay’s giant cars. You know we had a blast with this one! Check them out.
0:41 - 1915 Hispano Suiza with 300 HP 1915 V8 Hispano Suiza aero engine
2:40 - 1921 Benz-Mercedez “Rabit 1” Race Car with a Benz Zeppelin engine
5:30 - 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special with 21.7 L 6-Cylinder motor
13:12 - 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special Drive

Respect for Leno. He doesn't just buy the cars. He knows them. He knows how to work on them and how to drive them. He doesn't dabble. He lives for it.
Agree he is a great guy
Gotta love him !!
I was reading recently that having intense interests in various subjects is a sign of high intelligence.
100%
@@LoveFlatfootin1 I have read that in the many forms of literature that I am interested in. hahahaha. it also shows heart; the basis of curiosity.....
I like how those old cars required some foreplay before they were ready to go.
Little tickle on the nipples?
old things liked to be aroused
Love the way you worded that
Just like your mum
Alastair Ross damn.....
Jay is more than a car collector, he is an historian. I like how he keeps this Era alive. He really knows his stuff.
i have the same exact car.... on my old monopoly set
Jay, don't get your pants stuck in the cars bike chain.
#UnderRatedComment
Yeah i also have this same guy in my monopoly set
You mean your monopoly set is under the car?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunny!!!!!!!
If I saw this car, that chin, and that mustache driving down the freeway I would think I was living inside of a cartoon from the 1930's.
that is a truly funny comment...i'm still laughing...good one
Hahaha!
Davivid2, it's a contemporary cartoon... LOL...🇺🇸
Davivd2 it’s called personality, don’t take it the wrong way it’s cool when you’re happy in yourself and the things you do
Wow, almost 1129 cu. In.
Jay Leno, the only man to find a useful purpose to his millions.
Nah. Many have. Nothing wrong with building a school or park....... But this should become a museum like Reno, NV., after Leno checks out.
Jay's awesome. I realize you weren't being literal, but he's obviously not the "only" one. Elon is doing a pretty good job digging tunnels, flying rockets, and making self driving supercars. I can only imagine what he'll be able to do later in life when he doesn't have investors and the media breathing down his neck. Leno and Musk would be a great team!
@@andyjones7121 Elon is not as smart as everybody makes him out to be. The whole "tunnel transportation" thing was thought of many years ago....by myself and many, many others. Not to mention the amount of flaws utilizing the underground tunnel concept.
He really does seem to have it figured out.
-- and Kermit Weeks...
'"is it cool?"
Jay, it's fuckin unbelievably rad bro
It's so much better to see how an car now over a hundred years old actually operates and drives, compared to just looking at a car collection. Jay is absolutely the man for showing us how It's done. Awesome education
One of the things I love most about Jay's car collection is that he drives everything he owns. No garage queens in that collection.
so true!
except the ones with no breaks XD thank god
My dad's friend in 2000 had a 1948 Nash they drove often with decal "If you see on a trailer call the police its stolen"
lol

money...money + money...= everything you want. (not you need)
There are car guys...then there's Jay Leno...can't believe he took that thing on the freeway.
He drives ALL his stuff. Rock solid car guy. I wait for his new videos every Sunday night.
Jay will always tweak originality to get those cars back on the road, which is most admirable. He truly is the ultimate car guy, allowing us to enjoy and experience these vehicles.
You HAVE to change some stuff. He jokes about it, but some of those really old cars can't slow down much. To make them safe to take on the road, you have to do something about the brakes, if nothing else.
They don't even have to be very old to need some changes. Take the video of the Diablo on Jay's channel. It's a 90s era car, but it still was in need of new brakes, as the default ones weren't sufficient for the ~500hp that beast delivers.
True. If I had a 3500 pound car that went 200 miles an hour, I wouldn't just want good brakes, I'd want an anchor too. Leave it to Chrysler to go cheap on brakes. But some of his really old cars only had brakes on two wheels, and bad ones at that. Unless you're driving one of his traction engine steamers, which can't top 5 mph, you want brakes all the way around.
It's so cool to see Jay driving his cars around up in Angeles Crest, and when my son saw him last, he was alone with no film crew...enjoying his weekend drive in a Citroen.
I know Jay Leno like his motors, but he's preserving them for us as well. He's letting us see some really rare vehicles in action. There's not many like him.
Leno is like the only rich person I can think of that spent his wealth on something he truly enjoys. I also give him credit for not having any garage queens. If he owns a car, he's willing to drive it on the freeway!
Captain Killjoy over here...
Tim Allen is just like a Leno. Big car guy!
I don't know, I mean Elon Musk blows his money on rocket ships, and he seems pretty happy with that.

"Garage Queen"="Refined Lot Lizard", i'm guessing.
I didn't care much for Jay when he was hosting the tonight show but man he is really in his element around cars, he is so knowledgeable and genuinely enjoying himself, i love his life. i admire the guy a lot.
Drey Perez you would be knowledgeable if you had his money!
Cos Bill Gates just loves Tatras and La France fire engines.
That's not true at all, having the money allows you to own all that stuff, but it still requires a lot of research and reading and working on them, to learn what he knows, he does have mechanics that do most of the work, but you can tell he gets involved.
His first job was washing cars at a dealership when he was a teenager.
There was another show some time ago that showed the process. How the collection expanded to a point where he had to hire full-time mechanics to keep the cars in running condition as he personally required. He is involved, as shown here, with maintenance schedules and rehabilitation projects.
Same! Never watched his TV show but he has definitely earned me as a loyal fan with his RUclips channel.
I'm blown away now but COULD YOU IMAGINE seeing this thing a hundred years ago?!?
Blows my mind how they even manufactured things back then. The 1900s seems ancient to us, but they still had incredible technology back then!
It’s like fine watches
Some years ago, I was behind him in street traffic in Burbank. He was driving a red Jag roadster with the V-12, and clearly enjoying every second of it. Saw him at The Rock Store (biker's roadhouse out on Mulholland Highway) one time, with the Hispano-Suiza, giving a kind of tutorial about the car. The man is not aloof!
I'm always amazed at Jay's high level of knowledge about each and every car in his collection. His ability to weave humor into his sharing the details is unmatched. What a guy!
It’s like he was a comedian in a former life
@Lithuanian GLOCK31_NH420 There's lots of collectors out there that doesn't have any idea about what they're buying or how to treat and service it. And they have no history knowledge what so ever. But it looked cool and it was expensive.
Jay is determined to get every car into drivable, usable condition. That requires employing some guys. That, to me, is the special thing about him. Almost no one has the time and money. What a great retirement.
@@777jones jay is NOT retired, if you look at his schedule you'd freak out on his work ethic
Jay Leno is a rare type of auto enthusiast. He takes the time to actually LEARN about his collection.
George price when was that rare?
He has always said he was a hoarder. He has never sold any of the cars or motorcycles he has owned. Even before he got the tonight show he bought nice cars from the movies and stand ups he was doing.
11:56 The way they work in harmony while closing that hood without saying a word is amazing. True car guys.
looked more like jay leno forgetting to use the latches lmao
Lmao. Calm down guy
Chain Drive: I first visited New York City in 1955. One of the most amazing things I saw were chain-drive trucks. I couldn't belive they were still being used at that time. I forget now what they were used for, but they as big as a garbage truck. My future wife, whom I was visiting could not understand why the heck I thought they were so interesting, but then she lived in a 7th floor apartment just off of Central Park and knew almost nothing about vehicles.
Jay looks as a host even when he is a guest
Jay is the host. Dennis is the guest in Jay's garage.
RivieraByBuick those guys are old chums! There is no jockeying for the spotlight here.
...because Jay is simply a boss no matter where he is. He rules the automotive market, even on Top Gear, he far outshone Jeremy Clarkson on his own show, Jay is the boss!!! Real class act!
I think he his hosting this one... He did invite this crew into his home after all.
drServitis
You know how I know that you're correct? Jays unwavering ability to wear denim every day just like the rest of the stuck up yuppie communists.
I am from the UK, and of course we have never heard of Jay Leno, but I am impressed he knows his stuff, and he is preserving motoring heritage.
Very impressed and pleased the US still allows these vehicles on the public highways, long may it continue.
John Doyle They cant ban classic cars here. We would kill all of the politicians if they tried that.
Hr BeStalkinMe I’m banning them right now
I do agree John Doyle.
Siward Beorn, not only cars, but British horses and British carriages on British roads. Look up Barry Hook's informative videos on training horses for driving. Barry's out there fitting teams of horses onto roads so tiny you would think he would have a wreck, but he's just teaching the horses to handle difficult situations without being overly fretful.
Siward Beorn BS, we left yall all those years ago cause you started banning classic horse and buggies then. Not here though.
Jay is an authentic petrol head, not just a collector. He knows, repairs and lets repair and drives them.
First I love that Jay keeps them in running condition and will even take them out on yhe road. I also love how he knows the the little details about each one. They all have their own personality.
man those old school racers had mor balls then brains lets strap a saddle to a zeplin engine brakes i dont need no stinking brakes
no roll bar, no seatbelt, no cage, n no helmet, horrible to see those brave men flying out to their death in the old pictures.
Brakes only slow you down
i was working at the airport. driving my $150 police auction taurus in the winter i don't recall what happened to the brakes . but since it was so cold i practiced accident avoidance for a couple days. til the boss moved it and freaked out WHAT's wrong with your brakes. i said you just have to plan your stops. then to the hanger for repair.
The begginning of an era, they hadnt thot of brakes...etc yet. They were enthralled by the art !
@Matthew Arsenault man, those put downs are RUDE!!! and contemporary to Jay's ride!! nice!!!
15 min before the race begins " gentle men....start your engines ! "
You mean "pump" your engines.😂
@@YG-rr6zv "please start foreplay with your engines"
Now give it a little tickle.
I love the way Jay doesn't just collect cars and lets them collect dust, he really enjoys his cars
Just think about it everyone who saw him driving, that just made their day.
'How's the brake working for you?'
'Its more, psychological'
Haha. Yes Jay!
More of a polite suggestion to the wheels that they might consider revolving more slowly
These old cars were really ahead of their time. To improve fuel economy, they kept the wheels turning at all times.
That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard!
This is just timeless. These vehicles are incredible feats of engineering. Thank you Dennis and Jay for teaching us how they work and taking us all out for a ride.
Honestly the mic despite going whatever speed they are going manages to capture almost a airplane like sound, as it cruises down the road, sounds like any WW2 bomb run in any war movie. That vehicle is honestly a masterpiece
I believe im finding myself a bit jealous at the moment. Truly beautiful machines . The fact that they are running and actually drivable is amazing
My grandfather called the brakes in the 14 t bearing warmers.
Best thing is, he doesn't just buy to have, he learns and knows all about his cars.
Amen
ya, he must've spent thousands of hours learning about cars. you can't buy your way to knowledge.
he is a real car lover, that's what they do
What an honor to get a ride with Jay in one of his cars. I have been working as a mechanic all my life, from army tanks and trucks, to cars and semi trucks and finished off the last 35 years with aircraft and currently work on 28 million dollar engines. So I can appreciate all things mechanical. Jay has such a great variety of mechanical marvels with actual historical engines that operate. What a learning ability to work on a piece of history.
The thing I love most, is that Jay takes these old gals out to fly!!! They were not created to sit for a museum! They were built to FLY!!!!
I was at a car show in Glendale when Jay drives up in this beautiful beast. Men women and children ran up to to greet him with such love. He had such a kind, calm aura about him.
@@SuperDirtPig Go to your room, you miserable fuck....
@@SuperDirtPig you are thinking of trump. troll somewhere else
I've seen him up at the Rock Store, very humble, down to earth guy.
@@erniew5805 trump 2020
He's a big kid and happy to share the joy.
Thanks Jay for sharing hour collection with the world. Too many of these fine cars never see the light of day.
thebigpdubbya I hope they go to a museum when he, well I don’t wanna say it but you know.. Maybe his show can be carried on by a group of automotive historians (if there are such people) worthy to carry on his magnificent automotive legacy. I wouldn’t be blowing this much smoke a year or two ago, but in that time Jay has really grown on me and Im definitely a solid fan of his now.
I really hope its in his will to continue sharing his passion with the world. Thats also a lot to ask though.. Maybe I can start a go fundme to immortalize Jay thus ensuring his.. passing... will never become reality and I can enjoy his content forever :)
Never was a fan of Jay's comedy, but I sure respect his auto knowledge, and his respect for the technology of past automotive eras.
Jack De Haan same
Agreed. This man really knows his stuff. I am quickly becoming a fan.
Jay is right where he belongs now! Nobody can do it better.
You know, a lot of people would be envious of Jay Leno. I'm just sitting here glad that he's the one taking care of all these old pieces of history.
In sum, Jay serves as a museum keeper, allowing WE THE PEOPLE to learn and appreciate automotive engineering and history to the fullest extent.
Hes also good at preserving these cars. Lots of cars are rare and you worry if the next owner will take care of it and keep it but with jay you know he will preserve it nicely. If i ever had a rare car and couldnt keep it i would definitely sell it to Jay because i know it will be in good hands
This why i respect Jay, he actually knows and puts in the effort to support the old technology and innovations of the past.
I always liked Jay Leno. I knew he had a big car collection but didn't realize it was that big. He also has amazing knowledge about his cars which shows his passion for his hobby. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible, Jay is an automobile encyclopedia. You’d think his day job has always been in a garage somewhere. Too, I imagine Jay’s house with closets full of nothing but denim.
I love the way Jay puts the hood down on his vehicles - Nice and easy with loving care. Simply beautiful!
Jay Leno is such a nice guy, my father took me when Jay invited us to see his garage and workshop and cars and we went down to show him my father's 1954 corvette him and I restored in our garage. He showed us all around in his huge warehouse style garage and what most don't see if the incredible workshop and talented fabricators working there! Thank you again Jay for having us and really loved your collection! Truly unique and beautiful vehicles!
Did your dad know Jay Leno before you restored the Corvette?

Keeping history Alive...My Classic car and Jay Leno.....True American HERO'S
i don't even really enjoy the mechanical workings of vehicles, but this classic car collection is fascinating. a zeppelin's engine!! crazy
Thank you Jay Leno for preserving history and sharing it with the public!
Ese auto fue fabricado en argentina, por un fabricante que hace replicas .
Everything about these cars is impressive. Just seeing that thing going down the road is amazing! I love that Jay is so passionate and knowledgable about them and is generous enough to share his garage with us. These cars are his babies and he loves playing with them. It comes through that Dennis does not seem to impress Jay much....
Jay genuinely enjoys his cars and their history.
I'm happy to see that Jay's warehouse appears to have a good sprinkler system. Some irreplaceable cars have been lost recently due to fires in California.
They look like they just came out of a time machine driving that thing 😂😂😂
Dennis has the perfect moustache for this car.
AGREED
no way to much drag:)
It's like he's a time traveler
Just needs some goggles and a silk scarf
I like that jay doesn’t abuse the classic cars but he doesn’t baby the either.
I love to watch Jay Lenos garage, these cars had plenty OF GO but not much WHOW!!!
"Each piston in this here 20L straight 6 has the same displacement at a 327 chevy..."
wow
I found it interestig too, mainly because 1/6 from 21,7 Litre is only 220 cubic inch :D
still a huge displacement though
Those pistons must be the size of coffee mugs.
@@twistedyogert That motor is bigger than my apartment! Love it.
@@twistedyogert 5 1/2" bore = More like a coffee can
My eyes widened when I herd that
Cruising along on the freeway . .Overtaking everything . .WITH NO BRAKES!!!! Only Jay :-)
Imagine you’re doing 70-75 down the highway and Jay comes by you hauling ass in that big bastard…AWESOME STUFF
Man I remember when I used to have to go to a relatives house or stay in a hotel to see Dennis's show. I never had cable growing up. Now I can watch him on my phone anytime I want. Some aspects of modern technology are pretty great.
Respect for both of these guys. I've been watching Dennis Gage for literally YEARS, and Jay Leno, he was hosting the Tonight Show when I was a kid and I'm 37 now. I have always been a diehard car guy, so Jay has always had my respect. The fact that Jay has this wonderful dream garage, employs certain guys to maintain his fleet, and is ALWAYS happy to show it off, has his own RUclips channel just to highlight his cars as well as others that hold historical significance, I mean, he's a God in the automotive world. I mean, he owns the Blastolene Special...and he loves to drive it and show it off. Dennis has his own following, and I remember when he had hair...lol They're both great automotive legends and to see them interacting on the same show is so cool to me.
I absolutely love Jay Leno’s Garage, Jay has possibly the largest selection and greatest variety of cars. Jay appears to get as much enjoyment out sharing as I do viewing. Listening to him describe the details of design and construction reflect a true appreciation for the craft of automotive engineering. Telling the back story and history of acquisition is a great way to honor others. “I think it’s time to go for a ride” (Jay Leno)
He uses his money well, he preserves history and gives us a glimpse of how automotive technology evolved
Jay Leno is a National treasure and will NEVER be duplicated. Ty for teaching so much and for everything you have done to put smiles on our troops in trying times
YOU CAN TELL JAY LENO,S LOVE OF CAR,S IS NOT JUST SUPERFICIAL ,I THINK IT THE HISTORY AND WHEN AMERICA AND THE WORLD WAS REALLY INVENTIVE , UNLIKE TODAY WHEN EVERY CAR LOOKS AND IS THE SAME SHAPE WITH NO IMAGINATION .
Jay is the real deal. My hero
Can't imagine being on the freeway and seeing Jay go flying by in this monster.
The inseparable bond of car nuts... Keep on cruisin', fellas
Leno, TY for SAVING ALL THESE WONDERFUL CARS FOR US ALL TO LOVE WITH YOU!
"When it catches fire..'whoa, whoa, take your foot off the brake'"!?! Jay's the best!
Man some of these engines look like high end espresso machines. Beautiful Engines.
This freeway scene reminds me of when i saw Jay in Thousand Oaks, maybe 25 years ago, in an open car almost a ike this. He was the passenger, there was an old guy driving with an old leather hat with earmuffs, and aviator type goggles on. I passed them going up the grade, Jay looked over, I have him a thumbs up, he gave me a smile and a wave, and I kept going. Cool cars! Glad they're still being preserved for history's sake.
Am I the only one that really loves to watch the valve train operation?
(Yes, I'm late to the party)
I love that these vids are out there for everybody to see. Good for you, Jay! You're doing a great service by bringing all this history through time for everybody to enjoy. I salute you.
Tonight I'm feeling blah, too tired for a beer buzz.. then THIS video! I'm smiling from ear to ear. : ) I love Jay Lenos passion for cars. When you can afford to drive a really expensive car and appreciate it's history. I can sleep good to that!!
Kicks the door on the way in and climbs on the seat. There's a man that knows at the end of the day that's it's just a machine, made for work. Much respect.
I truly hope when Jay goes that this massive car collection isn't scrapped or auctioned off to people who don't truly care or won't appreciate it them.
It matters not where it goes in the future.
He lived. He loved. He drove every one. Those moments are immortal.
definitely wouldn't be scrapped considering the value of these machines but most of em would end up as garage queens.
These machines. My God, the minds and the imagination of mankind. I loved watching this.
I love that Tatra behind Jay in the first scene. Love that one.
I love how jay is wiping his hands on a rag, like actually works on his own cars
He does!
I rewatch these videos from time....I'm amazed every single time....I appreciate the work that you and your team do Jay....please don't ever stop enjoying your toys or sharing with us at home....
The fact that he remembers all these little details about over three hundred vehicles so effortlessly is a testament to his intelligence. And that's typical for an actor or someone who does stand-up. I could study a few lines for days and need ten takes to do it acceptable. People like Jay can read over a script once and nail it in one take. For sure when you're really interested in something it's much easier to remember things, and I'm that way about cars also, but regardless how he may appear, he is genius level to do what he does.
EVERYBODY GANGSTA TILL JAY LENO PULL UP. 👍🏼
I can’t help but like and respect Jay Leno. As a native Detroiter and 3rd generation autoworker I appreciate his love of automobiles.
I just LOVE Jays cars. So glad he has preserved these pieces of History and shares them with the world.
God bless Jay Leno. It’s amazing what he’s done for the car world.
Retired from showbiz and continues to be a mechanic which is safe to say is the mans passion. Beautiful to see him get so into it and see the childlike wonder of both of them
Omg the look on Jay's face when he say "this one has... literally no brakes on it..."
I enjoy the meticulous details ... shows Jay's deep respect and appreciation for the technology of yesteryear...
Jay & Dennis are great together. Jay has so much knowledge, he is amazing.
I miss working on these. Love watching @MyClassicCarTV !
Hi Mary! Good to hear from you. Tell all the guys at HVS we said hello!
Is amazing that Jay made enough money to fund all this - So great that he enjoys sharing his collection with us. He's a real class act!
This guy's mustache and Jay's chin are legendary
I wonder how he felt as ol Jay was looking at him saying, "give it a little tickle." Really though that would be a priceless experience visiting Jay's garage.
i just love those giant cars and aircraft engines...what a life Jay Leno...touche...
Seeing a Tatra along with a poster in a Californian's hall of fame is really neat!
Keeping history alive, well done sir.
what gorgeous pieces of history and mechanical ingenuity, God Bless you Jay for protecting history so well, some day I would love to see your garage, hear & see those beautiful works of art!
Leno - “we got an axle that we’re gonna put brakes on”.
Den - “That’s probably smart”
Thankyou Jay for sharing the old bikes and car that we wouldn’t get to see any other way. You passion is obvious.
These things are BEASTS! They’re cool to see in movies. You get a real sense of how big some of them are when you see them in movies driven by tiny female actresses. Very neat engineering for the era.
