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 showing me around.

Beautiful British engineering! Triumph Rocket 3 TFC and a Jaguar F Type P575 are both tucked away in my modest garage.
I hope that all his cars become a museum!
1914 fiat could be driven round London with no ULEZ charge love to see Mayor Khan's face as that drove by.
Two absolute legends.. Jay such a great guy, if I had the cash, I'd do the same he's doing.. Enjoying time and creating a world class collection. Hidden luxury is the fact that pretty much everything there runs, is kept and clean.
Imagine how many old men are sitting on the riches of the Pharaohs, billiions of dollars. While the rest of us scramble over crumbs. The only thing Jay did for humanity was sell advertising space.
Wow!! Great Video!! I loved it!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I needed more James May in my life.
“It’s quite fast” 😂
“How do you find this stuff?” It’s easy when Americans have 61% more disposable income than Europeans.
Great video
No sprinklers ? cos that smoky old feller( the car I mean) should have set them off
Gayrage
Jay was more fascinated by the jag being near him and not knowing than the car. He’s such a kid still.
Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.
We need to download his knowledge. He knows every car’s info, history, work they’ve done to it, when he drove it last, amazing.
Love that everything works and is actually driven on the road
"if you use them a lot, they last a lot longer" golden words. use them regularly than keep them sitting in Garages.
Woah, Jay seems much older now. His voice is much more elderly and delicate, almost slurring.
It doesn't seems like Jay or James is interested, yet we know that they are.
2 old guys looking at cars & bikes and younger guy watch that 😅
I didn't see any Dacia Sandero.
27 liter 1914 airplane engine car…and starts right up lol gotta love it
I wish Jay would do more showing of total shop and show room. That is so fun to see….
James looks Slightly Overwhelmed 👀
its so fun to watch two guys gush over motorvehilces
he's alright jay leno
one of the good guys
James May not giving Jay Leno much to work with ….practically comatose
11:46 😂
Gin! Gin! Gin!
The first car is named after someone who, with ideals, decided to risk his life for them.
The ideals of Democracy.
Because he gave his life to defend Democracy, we owe him the social freedom we have.
The greatest collaboration of quirky car nerds ever. Love it!
Jay Leno for 'Grandfather of the world'… May: "what if the regulator snaps off while you are pushing it?" Leno: "Well then you're F***ed… that's sort of the fun" — Awesomeness indeed!
he said garage not garige. deport him now!.
" I have never been so keyed up", the lyric from the Ascot scene in MFL captures the mood I think.
What an incredible collection.
Petrolhead God's here 😊
I can't afford a car but am a car nut and I can afford gin but I really don't like it. Despite that, I love Jay Leno and James May. Not sure if that balances out but I'm ok being called unbalanced 😁.
Love the car with the Merlin engine! Years ago I got to see a Gen 4 Trans Am with an engine out of a helicopter. I don't remember the helicopter model but almost all the dash gauges were from the helicopter. It was an amazing car.
Jay plays the motorcycle like a musician would play a violin !
@13:43 Absolutely amazing. What a sound. I want one.
I'm not a car guy but this is incredible, bit more enthusiasm needed Mr. May!!
Jay proceeds to tell a story about how a man cared about England so much he left his home country and gave his life for England.
May” so where did you get the engine from”….
Jay Has The Best collection in the world
I really can’t tell if they hate each others nationalities or person from this 😂
But I hope James doesn’t dislike Americans. Being a fan of his that’d be kinda depressing
Boy, Jay Leno looks old. I realize that how he was moving was affected by a recent motorcycle accident, but he still looks old.
James May Sir at least act a little bit enthusiastic, I would be jumping for joy seeing Jay Lenos garage. But you had more enthusiasm than a piece of stale bread
I was asleep at 00:32
Heh, the difference between their characters is remarkable
Finally Jay Leno meets someone that deserves the same level of respect. Two fine gentleman, completely different at the same time as being so very similar.
Love the channel, but there's something that I feel needs attention. Jay does not do well with comedians. Is he intimidated? Hopefully not, as Jay is gifted and so enjoyable on his game. We love Jay!
Wow, a car with a Mosquito/Spitfire Engine is absolutely badass.
What an awesome collection!!!
