    It is great how Jay Leno drives his cars and not just let them sit and gather dust in a garage. Cars are meant to be driven regardless if is VW or a Ferrari 250 GTO.

    This car comes from Windsor, Ontario Canada. In 1989 I worked as a salesperson at a Pontiac/GMC dealership in Windsor . I was outside having a cigarette when a car pull into the dealership and who gets out, none other than Jay himself. He was performing across the river in the state of Michigan (Windsor borders with Detroit Mich) Jay had seen this car advertised in the California auto trader magazine and was planning to stop by the dealership to check out the car when he came to Michigan. This beauti of a car belonged to the owner of the dealership's son who is a friend of mine. The night before Jay came to buy this car, I had been a passenger in the car and we drove around the city and enjoyed the spirit of this car and I have to say that it is FAST!!!!! And if you are ever thinking of buying one, just want to warn you there are no cup holders and no radio, the only music you hear is the sound of that amazing engine and let me tell you, its loud. We drove around for about 20 min till the police were chasing us and we out ran them and pulled into the dealership and straight into the service bay and turned off the lights and watched as the police drove by still with sirens blaring wondering were the car they were chasing disappeared to.lol I'm not making this up. Just thought Id share this memory with you all.

      I have to chuckle a bit at this... There's been a conversation going on around here regarding actors and their credibility. Something about their skills in reciting a script written by someone else and how that "translates into being authorities in other fields..." Jay's comments on car designers feeds right into that same conversation, in that these people actually create something significant with their own imaginations. They actually have significant skills that I admire... a subject worth pondering... especially around election time!

    In the fall of 1969, as a stone-crazy Italian car fan, I happened to be at the Lambo/Jaguar dealer in Avon, CT one night. My boss's E-type had been giving him fits, overheating (of course) and running rough, so he sent me (22 years old) out to see about it. It was a cool night, crisp, and I heard this ripping 12-cylinder sound from the porte cochere: rip, rip, rip, rip. It was the dealership owner's 16-year old son, at the wheel of a Miura P-400. Rip, rip, rip! Shee-it! I about died of jealousy. ("It has a real light flywheel," somebody explained.) "Won't idle correctly." Sure. Yeah, you betcha.

He has put a tremendous effort into making his collection visible to the world and the incredible artworks in the hangar museum are just as interesting and deserve acknowledgment of their own. I hope that when Jay passes on - he has made it clear as to what will happen to his collection. Hopefully - it can remain intact and become a self-sustaining entity open for tours and special show events.

    So Jay, you ask for comments on the videos. I have to say I REALLY appreciate every one of them. They get me through the northeast winters when there are no car shows to go to and I can't take my car out because it is packed away for the winter. One of the best parts is all the factual information and history you tell about the cars, the makers, designers and how things work on each one. I eat this stuff up.
    It is great that you have all the bucks to do a car "Right". I envy you in that respect. As you know people like to be able to relate to you as one "Car guy" to another, it's part of the fun. Once in a while I loose that sence of relating when you Inadvertenly put down cars that aren't built so perfect. Many of us are "Old school" in the way that we just don't have the bucks to build the way we wish we could. I have been building my 57 chevy for 9 years and still have a ways to go because......the money comes slow and hard. But I do what I can and still want to be part of the "Car guy" community and not feel like my car is junk.
    Someone on your post thought it would be great for you to do this as a TV show. I second that idea. Come on Jay.....you got the connections to make it a reality. Thanks for all of the vids. WE LOVE THEM.

      Not exactly. Other people with his budget have bought a dozen houses and a personal jet. That will limit your pocket money. Jay likes cars ... He has maybe spent some money, but I have a hunch if he needed some, he could sell a couple off. You might not be able to sell the whole collection in one day at auction, at least not if you wanted to get what they were worth, but I think he's not only had a hobby, he's had an investment. He spends money on restoration and maintenance, but... he'll get that back because they're in better condition. The bonus, is he gets to drive and play with them. And he has a reason to still muck about with cameras and microphones and stuff. I wouldn't say he has everything, but he has quite a few of the things he wants. Including the envy of many of us... LOL.

    I first saw this car when I was about 14 years old. It was undoubtedly the most beautiful car I ever saw. It was red. To this day it is still my favorite car and wished I owned one.

    Since Jay has been revisiting on some of the cars he did in his early days, such as this one, it would be nice if Jay did a revised version of this one and maybe his other Miura.

    Yo Jay, Thanks for all the Great Rides!! I've been stuck in my stepbrother's 1992 Geo Prizm. I resurrected it out of the backyard.

    That was the car I lusted after. I remember buying the Road and Track issue that featured and road tested it. I remember the passage about driving on some California blacktop... "We we driving along at 120 when a 911 came up behind us flashing the lights to pass. I downshifted two gears and left him a spec in the rear view within seconds."

    I saw a Miura going down the street in the mid sixties. Even though it was going slow it made the same gorgeous sound, only at a lower pitch.
    The dealer that had it was a stone's throw from a Ford dealer with a 428 Cobra in the showroom . I had a hard time deciding which car I liked better. As if it mattered. I couldn't afford either, not even the Cobbra, which the Ford dealer was trying to uload for a "measly" 7 grand. Either car is probably worth high 6 or low 7 figures today.

    I remember this car in the opening to the film 'The Italian job', the roar of the V12, Matt Monros voice "On days like these" , the location... By the way, a great film too ;)
