I just want to say whomever made the call to have Don on with all these cars from his Museum: THANK YOU. The dude is so awesome, smart, refined and fun. It was absolutely my fave part of the MSNBC show and I'm so glad it's now on the youtube show. Please keep them coming!
These are SOOO Good! They compliment each other so very well with Jay cutting up and Donald as the Straight Man! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
This might be my first time commenting on the show. I’m a subscriber and avid watcher of each and every episode. I’ve even watched many of them multiple times. As a “car guy”, I often will search Jay Lenos Garage for (and find!) information on cars that I’m interested in or just plain curious about. The show is a bright spot in my automotive entertainment menu. Having said that, I am compelled to go even further and comment on what great entertainment and information comes from the shows involving Donald Osborne. I enjoy the act of “friendly foils” the two make. Each bringing out the best in the other. Jay, the consummate collector/entertainer/musuem. Donald, a crisp informative, classy guy who can parry wonderfully with Jay. Keep it up fellas!
Don't forget that the Carrera GT is the car Paul Walker died in. There's footage of Jay spinning a black one at high speed on a race track. The Singer is by far the best one here. I'm not really a big 911 fan, but I'll readily admit that it is a timeless classic. I have a uncle in Santa Barbra, California who has a 70's 911 SC targa that I got to ride in as a teen. It's a great memory I'll never forget. Thank you.
I love this series. Incredible vehicles, incredible insights. As a huge Porsche fan, this is my favourite one yet. Throw in a Dakar and that wpuld be my dream 4-car garage
Jay is absolutely right about pushing the engine on the older 356, 912 and 911. Porsche classics recently rebuilt the engine and transmission on my classic 911. I kept going back for adjustments to idle, etc. when the mechanic asked me to take him for a drive. He said I want to see how you drive your car. Well let’s just say I was babying the car and he admonished me for not revving the engine and driving it like it was meant to be driven. I now drive the car more spirited and keep the revs up, the car absolutely seems to love it and the engine just hums along.
Love what Jay said - You are only original once. I think he is bang on about originality, and the practicality of putting your money into features that matter. I love Singer cars but if someone said you could take any two of the three, it would take that 356C and the Carrera GT. Jay is right about driving a car that is true to its originality, there is something special about it.
“Growing up in New England on a diet of Silas Marner and Ethan Frome: life is tough and then you die; I need a reason for everything.” - Jay Leno As one New Englander to another Jay, you nailed it. A quotation for the ages.
I agree with Jay that the original cars will be more desirable and more expensive because they are as they were designed in the day and that makes them unique examples that will be imitated but never of original pedigree
As a fellow from the Boston area, and from the same graduating year as Jay, the New England school curriculum including study of "Silas Marner" and Ethan Frome novels truly resonates with me.
Thank you gentleman. Great discussion and amazing autos. Very enjoyable format. Would love to drive them all especially the Carrera. Now to re-watch the Jay’s specific reviews on each. Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom.
I agree with Jay Leno's thinking that people go back to the original specs of any vehicle, you can always modify for personal preference but the pristine quality of an untouched classic automobile has more depth.
Reminds me of my days on the race track (PIR) in the early 2000's. I had an S2000, my friend had a mid 80 911. I would take him on the corners, he would take me on the straits and we basically fought tooth and nail against each other the entire time slot.
Had the pleasure of sitting in a Carrera GT several years ago. Closest I have ever been to understanding what they are about. I just wish it was while it was in motion! Ahh well, old men like me can still dream.
Have to agree with Jay on this, love the singers but i would prefer an original one with a few choice bolt on mods. The Carrera GT looks as amazing as ever.
I remember when our dealer received the first Carrera GT. They were sold at retail and for a while they actually went down in value. They are truly special cars but my first choice would be the Singer for having better road manners and a car less likely to want to kill you. Also every car is bespoke and unique.
Man, I remember when you could buy an 80s 911 for $10k *or less*. You'd find 'em in Auto Trader for not much money but in good enough condition. I missed the window and my first, an '82 911 SC and it was just under $20k. The previous owner had swapped on the large wing and it was very sexy.
I'll take the The GT for its engine The Carrera 2 for its vintage purism The Singer for its looks Now excuse me, I'll have to buy some lottery tickets 😅
the Porsche four cam manual gives 40 hours to adjust the valves. I'm sure it could be done in less time but it gives 40 hours. In 1970 I drove a friends 1964 XKE from Los Altos Ca to Tucson Az via Big Sur. We got down below the populated area, it was nice and curvy, just at sunset. Suddenly some head lights were on me so I took off. I would move away out of the turns and he would catch up going into them. I burned up the poor brakes after 15-20 miles and he went by me, a 356 Pork. The Jag owner , sitting next to me was crying Beelzebub and other such words. cry baby
I always enjoy Jay's shows but I must say that speed has never been a big deal to me, give me a full size land yacht Caddy or Lincoln and I'm a happy camper !
The statement, slower cars driven fast is something few understand. I grew up in the mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. All the guys were after large displacement and claimed HP. I was passing them on our curved hilly roads with a 1962 MGA. I saved up and got a used XKE Jaguar and they thought it had a huge V8 until I opened the front so they could see a 6 cylinder. They hated me because of my choice in cars made their jacked up, loud, Mustangs and Camaros look silly. Is Jay becoming a grumpy old man? LOL. If I were to buy any of these 3 I would buy the older car regardless of resale value. I would enjoy it more. It would mean the most to me. I would enjoy it the most. (like I could) A old car from my youth that was under rated was the Pontiac Tempest. With transmission on the rear axle. It was a real handler of the hilly mountain roads. A drivers car. You do realize those that live in vast flat areas have no reason to buy any of these 3 cars. They will never use them for what they are designed for. They can't.
No one ever explained why we’re getting these episodes? This used to be exclusive to his cnbc show and now we’re getting it multiple times a week on RUclips?
One day in 25-30 years, Jay will still have his collection, but he will be the passenger, not the driver, but he will still enjoy his drivers in the Hollywood Hills.
Hey Reliable Carriers if you are out there, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you were to make a detour in Hodgenville Kentucky and drop off the above cargo at my place 😂
Is the price of the Singer for a new one or for the price of one built 5 years ago? I don't doubt that having one built now is more expensive than 5 years ago, but I would think buying a five year old Singer would be less. Not only because of age, but they are custom built to one person's desire. Finding another person with the same tastes is not always easy.
Im not a Porsche fan in fact I kind of avoid videos about them because there are so many. I do like the 356 though to me its the best looking of them all and thats the one I would pick I by some magic I could own one.
I just want to say whomever made the call to have Don on with all these cars from his Museum: THANK YOU. The dude is so awesome, smart, refined and fun. It was absolutely my fave part of the MSNBC show and I'm so glad it's now on the youtube show. Please keep them coming!
The Odd Couple bit that they do at the beginning of the Audrain show is funny.
Jay made the call because they're good friends and collaborators.
These are SOOO Good! They compliment each other so very well with Jay cutting up and Donald as the Straight Man! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

We need a Singer Denim Porsche !!!
Agreed, but it'll still be a million dollars.
@@astrayelmgodchump change to Jay!
That 356 is one of Jay's favorite cars! Ever notice Jay has a lot of favorite cars? Like, a warehouse full!
Keep up the good work, guys!
🙂
Hey every car is special to someone who loves them
Interesting. I think it's also important to mention that you must not blame Conan.
Thanks Jay, Donald, and Co.
I love this series. Incredible vehicles, incredible insights. As a huge Porsche fan, this is my favourite one yet. Throw in a Dakar and that wpuld be my dream 4-car garage
My favorite series on your channel, Jay. You gents are pure class.
Please keep Donald episodes coming! Absolutely love these
DONALD IS AWSOME,LOVE HIS KNOWLEDGE AND ENTHUSIASM ❤😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
All Donalds?
@@Deontjie Yes

The vibes in this content is wild. Love everything about it.
The walk off was priceless!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
if you didn't stay around to the end you missed classic Jay. Donald is such a good sport.
Every time Donald Osborne is on I start singing “If you loooove classic cars then Donald loves youuuu” … anybody else? Lol
😂 sometimes. His witty comebacks to Jay are hilariously accurate
Love what Jay said - You are only original once. I think he is bang on about originality, and the practicality of putting your money into features that matter.

ED PINK !!! He built my small block in the mid 70's to cruise Van Nuys Blvd., and now builds Singer Porsche's for mega bucks, WOW, the world turns.
Great video! Jay!
This is a good gameshow, I wish we could play along through a livestream, or maybe a voting pole before the video airs.
I knew that was a Singer.
Man, those Singer cars are nice:]
What gave it away ? The intro where he said it was a stinger ?
@@willpugh8865 Oh yeah, I skipped it:]
Didnt need the introduction though, Singers look absolutely fab:]
Jay did this episode just so he could say "gimcrackery" a few times to bug Donald
Hope this series continues. It's great entertainment
I agree with Jay that the original cars will be more desirable and more expensive because they are as they were designed in the day and that makes them unique examples that will be imitated but never of original pedigree
Keep them coming! Could watch this everyday.
My only quibble is the lighting setup. The windshield on the Singer is a reflection and the interior is not visible.
I've only driven 1 Porshe. And it was indeed one of the most special cars I've ever driven.
As a fellow from the Boston area, and from the same graduating year as Jay, the New England school curriculum including study of "Silas Marner" and Ethan Frome novels truly resonates with me.
Jay Leno is in great form in this episode, and speaks gold all along.
You had me at denim interior.
Really love this format.
Jay, you like to use the word gimcrackery--I don't know exactly what it means but I remember it from my youth--fun word. :)
Thank you gentleman. Great discussion and amazing autos. Very enjoyable format. Would love to drive them all especially the Carrera. Now to re-watch the Jay’s specific reviews on each. Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom.
Perfections for that Costco trip ! ....save ya a bundle
I love these shows!
Love these! Thanks Donald and Jay!
Jay, I love you! Don’t ever change!!
Keep them coming. Great stuff!
I agree with Jay Leno's thinking that people go back to the original specs of any vehicle, you can always modify for personal preference but the pristine quality of an untouched classic automobile has more depth.
Donald’s laughs , “ haw-haw-haw “ go well with Jay’s denim ensemble .
Another great video. Donald is a great co host of these episodes.
Reminds me of my days on the race track (PIR) in the early 2000's. I had an S2000, my friend had a mid 80 911. I would take him on the corners, he would take me on the straits and we basically fought tooth and nail against each other the entire time slot.
Denim in the frunk. Yesssssss. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
That's a funny image to think about Jay reading vintage car magazine reviews and then test driving the original car to compare the experience.
356 porsche 👌
I love these videos, keep them coming
Those are rivets Jay. They hold the roads in place. Road Rivets🤩
Thanks the Donald sir Jay you have a amazing collection love to have a walk through have a great Friday guy's ok later
Had the pleasure of sitting in a Carrera GT several years ago. Closest I have ever been to understanding what they are about. I just wish it was while it was in motion! Ahh well, old men like me can still dream.
Great episode!
The Carrera GT is a fabulous car, but I absolutely love the 356 B Carrera 2. They're all dream cars, of course.😊
great episode =]
Great discussion, love the cars too!
Absolutely agree with Jay ❤❤❤
Have to agree with Jay on this, love the singers but i would prefer an original one with a few choice bolt on mods.
The Carrera GT looks as amazing as ever.
i like the space feeling in the old cars !! my dream is a Z240 or bmw323 like the singer :D
Outstanding
Great video
Such a good series- the denim comments 🎉 😂
I remember when our dealer received the first Carrera GT. They were sold at retail and for a while they actually went down in value. They are truly special cars but my first choice would be the Singer for having better road manners and a car less likely to want to kill you. Also every car is bespoke and unique.
Denim and chabre awesome. Jay this guy is cool!
I really feel the need to compliment Donald Osborne's wardrobe!
Man, I remember when you could buy an 80s 911 for $10k *or less*. You'd find 'em in Auto Trader for not much money but in good enough condition.
I missed the window and my first, an '82 911 SC and it was just under $20k. The previous owner had swapped on the large wing and it was very sexy.
What pays you back, is driving them.
I'll take the
The GT for its engine
The Carrera 2 for its vintage purism
The Singer for its looks
Now excuse me, I'll have to buy some lottery tickets 😅
donald’s wardrobe is immaculate!
Love this series watching two top notch professionals sharing their insights about a world i know almost nothing about
You two are hilarious and fun to watch.
Why are the hazard lenses flashing?
Jay might like the special edition 'jeans' beetle that Volkswagen made in the seventies, it had denim seats.
You beat me on that one. 😅
And there was the AMC Gremlin Levi’s editions.
Maybe others too. But the VW and the AMC is those who comes in mind.
the Porsche four cam manual gives 40 hours to adjust the valves. I'm sure it could be done in less time but it gives 40 hours. In 1970 I drove a friends 1964 XKE from Los Altos Ca to Tucson Az via Big Sur. We got down below the populated area, it was nice and curvy, just at sunset.

I burned up the poor brakes after 15-20 miles and he went by me, a 356 Pork. The Jag owner , sitting next to me was crying Beelzebub and other such words. cry baby
I'm with Jay on the Singer Porsche. I admire it, but I'll take the 365.
11:55 Payback 😅❤🏁
Please keep these as a regular feature
These are great episodes. Please do one on rally cars.
He love your videos from Gambia ❤❤
I always enjoy Jay's shows but I must say that speed has never been a big deal to me, give me a full size land yacht Caddy or Lincoln and I'm a happy camper !
get Jay a Levi’s Edition Jeep from the 70’s or a Coca Cola Levi’s DenimMachine Econoline van from 1976 that were promotional giveaways!
These Porsches 😍😍😍👊👊👊💥💥💥
Jay was right! I would much rather have the C Coupe than any of the others. Why? I want to drive it.
The statement, slower cars driven fast is something few understand. I grew up in the mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. All the guys were after large displacement and claimed HP. I was passing them on our curved hilly roads with a 1962 MGA. I saved up and got a used XKE Jaguar and they thought it had a huge V8 until I opened the front so they could see a 6 cylinder.
They hated me because of my choice in cars made their jacked up, loud, Mustangs and Camaros look silly.
Is Jay becoming a grumpy old man? LOL.
If I were to buy any of these 3 I would buy the older car regardless of resale value. I would enjoy it more. It would mean the most to me. I would enjoy it the most. (like I could)

I agree with Jay
No one ever explained why we’re getting these episodes? This used to be exclusive to his cnbc show and now we’re getting it multiple times a week on RUclips?
Nobody watches CNBC anymore.
Why complain?!?
So what!!! People complain about the dumbest things.🙄
Probably because the show was canceled so why not have them here. I'm glad they brought it to RUclips.
Thankfully! I love these shows. I always thought the segments on the TV show were way too short and lacked the very depth we see here.
Damn that Singer is so cool
I would say the 356 hands down
Definitely looks like you got the strut Tower braces replaced for the rear end on The Carrera GT those were very well known failpoint
Just an idea you guys should do a custom Volkswagen I had a 14-second karmann Ghia in bug in 31 your dual Weber's made me think of it
Two singers from the Audrain
I wanna see the Jay Leno denim edition Singer
Donald is the best dressed guy on this stage...
Remember the time Jay almost totaled his GT? That was a wild video.
One day in 25-30 years, Jay will still have his collection, but he will be the passenger, not the driver, but he will still enjoy his drivers in the Hollywood Hills.
Donald and Jay .....are Martin & Lewis 😂
Waiting for Jay's t50 soon
Jay can order the AMC Levi package.
Hey Reliable Carriers if you are out there, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you were to make a detour in Hodgenville Kentucky and drop off the above cargo at my place 😂
Is the price of the Singer for a new one or for the price of one built 5 years ago?

Would Jay get a denim interior if available
EDIT dang Donald just made the joke 😂
