Also worth checking out his youtube series where it's a little less american tv-like and more informative on the cars.

OP was too lazy to check for pre-existing threads on Jay Leno's Garage, of which there are several (there having been a few series, whereas this is Series 1 of the Grand Tour), meaning comments are diluted across several disparate threads instead of a single thread.

Just a theory...

I bet if you added them all up there still wouldn't be more than 10 pages
Go on, I dare you

WOW. That barn find.

[kmpowell]

Absolutely fantastic episode last night.

Jerry Seinfeld's passion and the Cadillac collectors obsession are something I really related to.

The barn find was amazing, as was the story of the car Jay purchased from the house that had part collapsed meaning the original owner couldn't get it out and the family hadn't seen it for decades!

I really didn't get why the owner of the Dodge Daytona kept in such a state. Sure, Patina is one thing, but keeping a car in such an un-drivable condition that it contributes towards it rotting away seems a complete waste. He said that people flock around it... I'm sure they do, I bet they are all asking WTF!

I really admire Jay's clear love of cars, it means he's not just a 'host' of the show', but somebody who the audience can relate and respect.

Such a good show.

The 'blue' fella struck me as a hipster version of wayne carrini, they ought to give a few programmes as there are clearly some america car guys who dont feel the need to tell us everything is bhin or get me some of that routine.

enjoyed last nights programme although as a porsche man i may be slightly biased......

If you like barn finds, you might enjoy the 'Barn Find Hunter' series on Youtube.

Is this the show where he was in a muscle car that some old boy unintentionally rolled?

Just caught the end before i went out - i did wonder what it was.
