I went to California to sell my gin to Americans and dropped in on Jay Leno. He gave me a tour of his garage and I asked the vital questions - such as: “Where can I buy the best burger in LA?”, “How fast is your 1000bhp Rolls Royce?”, “Why put a helicopter engine in a motorbike?”, “Will your jet car run on my gin?”, “Will electric cars save the internal combustion engine?” and, most importantly, “Who dusts all this stuff?” Thanks again to @jaylenosgarage for showing me around.

What a treat .... two Gent's talking shop! ... Royalty.... Priceless.
This is my dream ! To have Jay just show you around . What a privilege !🤘🏻🏁
2:55 Good ole pops and bangs
3:43 "Does 1/4 mile in 12s, but you're moving 5 tons" Brother what? That is an unbelievable amount of energy for a car running on basically tech from 100 years ago.

I think this is one of those videos one can watch a hundred times, along many many years. What a delight
I enjoyed this old man show talking about good (fun to drive) cars. At age 75 now I too very fondly remember unveiling a new year of cars at my small town dealerships. Always a Friday night in the fall with my buddies. Thanks guys.
If there were no cameras following them, these two guys would have exactly the same conversation. Pure. More of these conversations please. Thank you guys!
Love how contagious at 9:30 Jays dance is..James starts to bust some moves even though he wants to stay serious
2:47 just a bit of oil, been sitting. 🤣🤣
James's totally non plussed by a car running a spitfire engine. Gets all excited about the trim on a Triumph Tr6. Love him. Jay's collection is the best on the planet it's simply wonderful.
2:00 22 litre 6 cylinder. Angry coffee cans jumping up and down throwing out explosions and hellfire. Old timey aero engined cars just hit that primal instinct of badassery.
11:08 "y'know, I live in a hilly area....." 😂😂
Crazy how jay Leno knows the history of everything in his museum, knows how everything works, starts, and runs. He's an amazing man.
13:03 what I loved most actually was how humble and warm Jay is right here. It just warms my heart how he offers a drink even to the camera crew. You can tell a lot about a man’s character by how he treats the “least” of the people around him.
There are some people out there who believe that being materialistic is a waste of time and money, but the passion you have for that thing makes it all worth it.
I'm amazed about how Jay seems to know every little detail of all his vehicles. How they start, idle, etc. He really loves each one of them, AND drives them. Awesome dude.
Two moto legend J.May and J.Leno -brilliant ;)
Jay is so happy James is there.
i love that every single one of these has a story
