Leno's garage

I don't know if you guys are hip to this,I just discovered it,being a relative newbie to the internet.
I just watched the segment on the 1931 Bently 8 Litre SOHC straight 6.
What a guy,not just keeping these to himself,but sharing with the world all of his totally cool collection.
I'm looking at his site now,seaching for a segment on 1969 GMC Longhorns (jk).

Re: Leno's garage

Jay Leno is the man. What a collection and what a down to earth dude. I'd love to see his closet, he must have 50 pairs of the same jeans and jean shirts!

Re: Leno's garage

I don't care for his show, but he IS the ultimate gear head. Props to him for having an awesome collection of gazillion dollar "drivers".

Re: Leno's garage

Bad6772,yeah he's a very down to earth guy. You can see him any morning around here driving to NBC in Burbank from Beverly Hills--always in some antique car.Also you can see him (and talk to him if you want) on Saturdays when he stops in at the AutoBooks store in Burbank.I just like to see/listen to his rides.

Re: Leno's garage
