Jay Leno's garage

[smartmove]

Always watched his videos (some collection!) but this one is focussed on Aston's. A good watch

What a collection he has, videos are pretty geeky but great.

Favourite one so far, about his steam 1925 Doble E-20 Steam Car.

How can i put this diplomatically?

Please stop saying "Erm" Mr. Regional Director, each time you answer a question. I start counting the erms, instead of listening to your answers.

Jay Leno's films are a delight. I so much enjoy his enthusiasm, for eveything automobile. His jokes are quite funny too (look for his early career films, whilst he was a stand-up comedian).

Funny how most Brits hate Clarkson whilst Americans love him; yet most Brits love Leno whilst most Americans dislike him. I guess most people prefer the foreign comedy to their own. Not me, BTW. I'm a big fan of Clarkson but an even bigger fan of Leno.

Permission to go briefly off topic.

Speaking of comedy, do you know anything about an old British TV series called Fawlty Towers. It featured a very bossy hotel proprietor Basil (played by John Cleese), and was reputedly based upon observations by Mr. Cleese, at an actual Torquay hotel.

The story told here, is that the programmes were about to be sold to USA, but the broadcaster said, they would only take it without the hotel proprietor character. Can that really be true, because it would not be funny without Basil?

There were only about twelve programmes. John Cleese decided to stop before the scripts ran out of ideas. An hilarious series that is still spoken about today.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out on Netflix.

I always enjoy his videos. Interesting cars, and usually a positive tone, which i like. The classic posters and artwork around the garage are amazing, and worth a good look too.
