- We're back at Jay Leno's shop in California to have some fun in his "Room of the Giants." They fire up a 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special, and of course Jay keeps Dennis on the edge of his seat when they take this massive road rocket out on the streets of LA. But first, we check out a pair of early-1900s mega roadsters with airplane engines; Jay’s 300HP Hispano Suiza and a 1921 Benz-Mercedes Race Car.
A giant room full of Jay’s giant cars. You know we had a blast with this one! Check them out.
0:41 - 1915 Hispano Suiza with 300 HP 1915 V8 Hispano Suiza aero engine
2:40 - 1921 Benz-Mercedez “Rabit 1” Race Car with a Benz Zeppelin engine
5:30 - 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special with 21.7 L 6-Cylinder motor
13:12 - 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special Drive

Jay is more than a car collector, he is an historian. I like how he keeps this Era alive. He really knows his stuff.
I like how those old cars required some foreplay before they were ready to go.
Little tickle on the nipples?
old things liked to be aroused
Love the way you worded that
Just like your mum
Alastair Ross damn.....
i have the same exact car.... on my old monopoly set
Jay, don't get your pants stuck in the cars bike chain.
#UnderRatedComment
Yeah i also have this same guy in my monopoly set
You mean your monopoly set is under the car?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunny!!!!!!!
It's so much better to see how an car now over a hundred years old actually operates and drives, compared to just looking at a car collection. Jay is absolutely the man for showing us how It's done. Awesome education
Respect for Leno. He doesn't just buy the cars. He knows them. He knows how to work on them and how to drive them. He doesn't dabble. He lives for it.
Agree he is a great guy
Gotta love him !!
I was reading recently that having intense interests in various subjects is a sign of high intelligence.
100%
@@LoveFlatfootin1 I have read that in the many forms of literature that I am interested in. hahahaha. it also shows heart; the basis of curiosity.....
If I saw this car, that chin, and that mustache driving down the freeway I would think I was living inside of a cartoon from the 1930's.
that is a truly funny comment...i'm still laughing...good one
Hahaha!
Davivid2, it's a contemporary cartoon... LOL...🇺🇸
Davivd2 it’s called personality, don’t take it the wrong way it’s cool when you’re happy in yourself and the things you do
Wow, almost 1129 cu. In.
It's so cool to see Jay driving his cars around up in Angeles Crest, and when my son saw him last, he was alone with no film crew...enjoying his weekend drive in a Citroen.
'"is it cool?"
Jay, it's fuckin unbelievably rad bro
One of the things I love most about Jay's car collection is that he drives everything he owns. No garage queens in that collection.
so true!
except the ones with no breaks XD thank god
My dad's friend in 2000 had a 1948 Nash they drove often with decal "If you see on a trailer call the police its stolen"
lol
Jawbreakers scenes Ed edd eddy
money...money + money...= everything you want. (not you need)
Leno is like the only rich person I can think of that spent his wealth on something he truly enjoys. I also give him credit for not having any garage queens. If he owns a car, he's willing to drive it on the freeway!
Captain Killjoy over here...
Tim Allen is just like a Leno. Big car guy!
I don't know, I mean Elon Musk blows his money on rocket ships, and he seems pretty happy with that.
Andrew Pelegrindx
"Garage Queen"="Refined Lot Lizard", i'm guessing.
I know Jay Leno like his motors, but he's preserving them for us as well. He's letting us see some really rare vehicles in action. There's not many like him.
I'm blown away now but COULD YOU IMAGINE seeing this thing a hundred years ago?!?
Blows my mind how they even manufactured things back then. The 1900s seems ancient to us, but they still had incredible technology back then!
It’s like fine watches
Jay Leno, the only man to find a useful purpose to his millions.
Nah. Many have. Nothing wrong with building a school or park....... But this should become a museum like Reno, NV., after Leno checks out.
Jay's awesome. I realize you weren't being literal, but he's obviously not the "only" one. Elon is doing a pretty good job digging tunnels, flying rockets, and making self driving supercars. I can only imagine what he'll be able to do later in life when he doesn't have investors and the media breathing down his neck. Leno and Musk would be a great team!
@@andyjones7121 Elon is not as smart as everybody makes him out to be. The whole "tunnel transportation" thing was thought of many years ago....by myself and many, many others. Not to mention the amount of flaws utilizing the underground tunnel concept.
He really does seem to have it figured out.
-- and Kermit Weeks...
I'm always amazed at Jay's high level of knowledge about each and every car in his collection. His ability to weave humor into his sharing the details is unmatched. What a guy!
It’s like he was a comedian in a former life
@Lithuanian GLOCK31_NH420 There's lots of collectors out there that doesn't have any idea about what they're buying or how to treat and service it. And they have no history knowledge what so ever. But it looked cool and it was expensive.
Jay is determined to get every car into drivable, usable condition. That requires employing some guys. That, to me, is the special thing about him. Almost no one has the time and money. What a great retirement.
@@777jones jay is NOT retired, if you look at his schedule you'd freak out on his work ethic
11:56 The way they work in harmony while closing that hood without saying a word is amazing. True car guys.
looked more like jay leno forgetting to use the latches lmao
Lmao. Calm down guy
Some years ago, I was behind him in street traffic in Burbank. He was driving a red Jag roadster with the V-12, and clearly enjoying every second of it. Saw him at The Rock Store (biker's roadhouse out on Mulholland Highway) one time, with the Hispano-Suiza, giving a kind of tutorial about the car. The man is not aloof!
I didn't care much for Jay when he was hosting the tonight show but man he is really in his element around cars, he is so knowledgeable and genuinely enjoying himself, i love his life. i admire the guy a lot.
Drey Perez you would be knowledgeable if you had his money!
Cos Bill Gates just loves Tatras and La France fire engines.
That's not true at all, having the money allows you to own all that stuff, but it still requires a lot of research and reading and working on them, to learn what he knows, he does have mechanics that do most of the work, but you can tell he gets involved.
His first job was washing cars at a dealership when he was a teenager.
There was another show some time ago that showed the process. How the collection expanded to a point where he had to hire full-time mechanics to keep the cars in running condition as he personally required. He is involved, as shown here, with maintenance schedules and rehabilitation projects.
Same! Never watched his TV show but he has definitely earned me as a loyal fan with his TH-cam channel.
Jay Leno is a rare type of auto enthusiast. He takes the time to actually LEARN about his collection.
George price when was that rare?
He has always said he was a hoarder. He has never sold any of the cars or motorcycles he has owned. Even before he got the tonight show he bought nice cars from the movies and stand ups he was doing.
I love to watch Jay Lenos garage, these cars had plenty OF GO but not much WHOW!!!
First I love that Jay keeps them in running condition and will even take them out on yhe road. I also love how he knows the the little details about each one. They all have their own personality.
There are car guys...then there's Jay Leno...can't believe he took that thing on the freeway.
He drives ALL his stuff. Rock solid car guy. I wait for his new videos every Sunday night.
Jay will always tweak originality to get those cars back on the road, which is most admirable. He truly is the ultimate car guy, allowing us to enjoy and experience these vehicles.
You HAVE to change some stuff. He jokes about it, but some of those really old cars can't slow down much. To make them safe to take on the road, you have to do something about the brakes, if nothing else.
They don't even have to be very old to need some changes. Take the video of the Diablo on Jay's channel. It's a 90s era car, but it still was in need of new brakes, as the default ones weren't sufficient for the ~500hp that beast delivers.
True. If I had a 3500 pound car that went 200 miles an hour, I wouldn't just want good brakes, I'd want an anchor too. Leave it to Chrysler to go cheap on brakes. But some of his really old cars only had brakes on two wheels, and bad ones at that. Unless you're driving one of his traction engine steamers, which can't top 5 mph, you want brakes all the way around.
This is just timeless. These vehicles are incredible feats of engineering. Thank you Dennis and Jay for teaching us how they work and taking us all out for a ride.
Jay is an authentic petrol head, not just a collector. He knows, repairs and lets repair and drives them.
Chain Drive: I first visited New York City in 1955. One of the most amazing things I saw were chain-drive trucks. I couldn't belive they were still being used at that time. I forget now what they were used for, but they as big as a garbage truck. My future wife, whom I was visiting could not understand why the heck I thought they were so interesting, but then she lived in a 7th floor apartment just off of Central Park and knew almost nothing about vehicles.
I am from the UK, and of course we have never heard of Jay Leno, but I am impressed he knows his stuff, and he is preserving motoring heritage.
Very impressed and pleased the US still allows these vehicles on the public highways, long may it continue.
John Doyle They cant ban classic cars here. We would kill all of the politicians if they tried that.
Hr BeStalkinMe I’m banning them right now
I do agree John Doyle.
Siward Beorn, not only cars, but British horses and British carriages on British roads. Look up Barry Hook's informative videos on training horses for driving. Barry's out there fitting teams of horses onto roads so tiny you would think he would have a wreck, but he's just teaching the horses to handle difficult situations without being overly fretful.
Siward Beorn BS, we left yall all those years ago cause you started banning classic horse and buggies then. Not here though.
'How's the brake working for you?'
'Its more, psychological'
Haha. Yes Jay!
More of a polite suggestion to the wheels that they might consider revolving more slowly
These old cars were really ahead of their time. To improve fuel economy, they kept the wheels turning at all times.
That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard!
I love the way Jay doesn't just collect cars and lets them collect dust, he really enjoys his cars
The thing I love most, is that Jay takes these old gals out to fly!!! They were not created to sit for a museum! They were built to FLY!!!!
Thanks Jay for sharing hour collection with the world. Too many of these fine cars never see the light of day.
thebigpdubbya I hope they go to a museum when he, well I don’t wanna say it but you know.. Maybe his show can be carried on by a group of automotive historians (if there are such people) worthy to carry on his magnificent automotive legacy. I wouldn’t be blowing this much smoke a year or two ago, but in that time Jay has really grown on me and Im definitely a solid fan of his now.
I really hope its in his will to continue sharing his passion with the world. Thats also a lot to ask though.. Maybe I can start a go fundme to immortalize Jay thus ensuring his.. passing... will never become reality and I can enjoy his content forever :)
I love the way Jay puts the hood down on his vehicles - Nice and easy with loving care. Simply beautiful!
Jay genuinely enjoys his cars and their history.
Man some of these engines look like high end espresso machines. Beautiful Engines.
This why i respect Jay, he actually knows and puts in the effort to support the old technology and innovations of the past.
I was at a car show in Glendale when Jay drives up in this beautiful beast. Men women and children ran up to to greet him with such love. He had such a kind, calm aura about him.
@@SuperDirtPig Go to your room, you miserable fuck....
@@SuperDirtPig you are thinking of trump. troll somewhere else
I've seen him up at the Rock Store, very humble, down to earth guy.
@@erniew5805 trump 2020
He's a big kid and happy to share the joy.
i don't even really enjoy the mechanical workings of vehicles, but this classic car collection is fascinating. a zeppelin's engine!! crazy
I always liked Jay Leno. I knew he had a big car collection but didn't realize it was that big. He also has amazing knowledge about his cars which shows his passion for his hobby. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jay Leno for preserving history and sharing it with the public!
Ese auto fue fabricado en argentina, por un fabricante que hace replicas .
Jay looks as a host even when he is a guest
Jay is the host. Dennis is the guest in Jay's garage.
RivieraByBuick those guys are old chums! There is no jockeying for the spotlight here.
...because Jay is simply a boss no matter where he is. He rules the automotive market, even on Top Gear, he far outshone Jeremy Clarkson on his own show, Jay is the boss!!! Real class act!
I think he his hosting this one... He did invite this crew into his home after all.
drServitis
You know how I know that you're correct? Jays unwavering ability to wear denim every day just like the rest of the stuck up yuppie communists.
Keeping history Alive...My Classic car and Jay Leno.....True American HERO'S
Jay we love the History ❤❤❤
Cruising along on the freeway . .Overtaking everything . .WITH NO BRAKES!!!! Only Jay :-)
Jay Leno is such a nice guy, my father took me when Jay invited us to see his garage and workshop and cars and we went down to show him my father's 1954 corvette him and I restored in our garage. He showed us all around in his huge warehouse style garage and what most don't see if the incredible workshop and talented fabricators working there! Thank you again Jay for having us and really loved your collection! Truly unique and beautiful vehicles!
Did your dad know Jay Leno before you restored the Corvette?
Vulgar Hyena Parkour videos
Just think about it everyone who saw him driving, that just made their day.
What an honor to get a ride with Jay in one of his cars. I have been working as a mechanic all my life, from army tanks and trucks, to cars and semi trucks and finished off the last 35 years with aircraft and currently work on 28 million dollar engines. So I can appreciate all things mechanical. Jay has such a great variety of mechanical marvels with actual historical engines that operate. What a learning ability to work on a piece of history.
Best thing is, he doesn't just buy to have, he learns and knows all about his cars.
Amen
ya, he must've spent thousands of hours learning about cars. you can't buy your way to knowledge.
he is a real car lover, that's what they do
15 min before the race begins " gentle men....start your engines ! "
You mean "pump" your engines.😂
@@YG-rr6zv "please start foreplay with your engines"
Now give it a little tickle.
I love that Tatra behind Jay in the first scene. Love that one.
Imagine you’re doing 70-75 down the highway and Jay comes by you hauling ass in that big bastard…AWESOME STUFF
They look like they just came out of a time machine driving that thing 😂😂😂
Leno, TY for SAVING ALL THESE WONDERFUL CARS FOR US ALL TO LOVE WITH YOU!
Can't imagine being on the freeway and seeing Jay go flying by in this monster.
Thanks for the wake up to the engineering. Superb.
Keeping history alive, well done sir.
I just LOVE Jays cars. So glad he has preserved these pieces of History and shares them with the world.
watching all the valves go up and down is so cool
Jay Leno is a National treasure and will NEVER be duplicated. Ty for teaching so much and for everything you have done to put smiles on our troops in trying times
In sum, Jay serves as a museum keeper, allowing WE THE PEOPLE to learn and appreciate automotive engineering and history to the fullest extent.
Hes also good at preserving these cars. Lots of cars are rare and you worry if the next owner will take care of it and keep it but with jay you know he will preserve it nicely. If i ever had a rare car and couldnt keep it i would definitely sell it to Jay because i know it will be in good hands
I believe im finding myself a bit jealous at the moment. Truly beautiful machines . The fact that they are running and actually drivable is amazing
Man I remember when I used to have to go to a relatives house or stay in a hotel to see Dennis's show. I never had cable growing up. Now I can watch him on my phone anytime I want. Some aspects of modern technology are pretty great.
I absolutely love Jay Leno’s Garage, Jay has possibly the largest selection and greatest variety of cars. Jay appears to get as much enjoyment out sharing as I do viewing. Listening to him describe the details of design and construction reflect a true appreciation for the craft of automotive engineering. Telling the back story and history of acquisition is a great way to honor others. “I think it’s time to go for a ride” (Jay Leno)
I rewatch these videos from time....I'm amazed every single time....I appreciate the work that you and your team do Jay....please don't ever stop enjoying your toys or sharing with us at home....
Jay is the real deal. My hero
That enormous single head light... So cool.
Thankyou Jay for sharing the old bikes and car that we wouldn’t get to see any other way. You passion is obvious.
(Yes, I'm late to the party)
I love that these vids are out there for everybody to see. Good for you, Jay! You're doing a great service by bringing all this history through time for everybody to enjoy. I salute you.
Everything about these cars is impressive. Just seeing that thing going down the road is amazing! I love that Jay is so passionate and knowledgable about them and is generous enough to share his garage with us. These cars are his babies and he loves playing with them. It comes through that Dennis does not seem to impress Jay much....
This guy's mustache and Jay's chin are legendary
You've got to love Jay's sense of humour 😂
Incredible, Jay is an automobile encyclopedia. You’d think his day job has always been in a garage somewhere. Too, I imagine Jay’s house with closets full of nothing but denim.
God bless Jay Leno. It’s amazing what he’s done for the car world.
EVERYBODY GANGSTA TILL JAY LENO PULL UP. 👍🏼
Honestly the mic despite going whatever speed they are going manages to capture almost a airplane like sound, as it cruises down the road, sounds like any WW2 bomb run in any war movie. That vehicle is honestly a masterpiece
i just love those giant cars and aircraft engines...what a life Jay Leno...touche...
"When it catches fire..'whoa, whoa, take your foot off the brake'"!?! Jay's the best!
Jay, Off Planet Respect. You have a Great Passion.
Jay is living our dream!
My grandfather called the brakes in the 14 t bearing warmers.
I enjoy the meticulous details ... shows Jay's deep respect and appreciation for the technology of yesteryear...
The inseparable bond of car nuts... Keep on cruisin', fellas
Jay the best in old stuff.
Jay Leno is such a cool car guy. Man I love his passion for cars.
I just love the way Jay knows his way around all his cars. Clearly passionate to have build up that much knowledge. Love the channel
JAY LENO ........AMAZING CAR DUDE.
Tonight I'm feeling blah, too tired for a beer buzz.. then THIS video! I'm smiling from ear to ear. : ) I love Jay Lenos passion for cars. When you can afford to drive a really expensive car and appreciate it's history. I can sleep good to that!!
Jay & Dennis are great together. Jay has so much knowledge, he is amazing.
I miss working on these. Love watching @MyClassicCarTV !
Hi Mary! Good to hear from you. Tell all the guys at HVS we said hello!
what gorgeous pieces of history and mechanical ingenuity, God Bless you Jay for protecting history so well, some day I would love to see your garage, hear & see those beautiful works of art!
Fabulous Mr. Leno1👏🏿
Kicks the door on the way in and climbs on the seat. There's a man that knows at the end of the day that's it's just a machine, made for work. Much respect.
Never was a fan of Jay's comedy, but I sure respect his auto knowledge, and his respect for the technology of past automotive eras.
Jack De Haan same
Agreed. This man really knows his stuff. I am quickly becoming a fan.
Jay is right where he belongs now! Nobody can do it better.
Jay Leno: Let's scare Dennis to death.
LoL 😁 what a sense of humour.
Far out… it’s just beautiful to see that driving on the road.
Just....Another Beautiful Movie J
Dennis has the perfect moustache for this car.
AGREED
no way to much drag:)
It's like he's a time traveler
Just needs some goggles and a silk scarf
You know, a lot of people would be envious of Jay Leno. I'm just sitting here glad that he's the one taking care of all these old pieces of history.
Leno...unbelievable Genius......
Seeing a Tatra along with a poster in a Californian's hall of fame is really neat!
man those old school racers had mor balls then brains lets strap a saddle to a zeplin engine brakes i dont need no stinking brakes
no roll bar, no seatbelt, no cage, n no helmet, horrible to see those brave men flying out to their death in the old pictures.
Brakes only slow you down
i was working at the airport. driving my $150 police auction taurus in the winter i don't recall what happened to the brakes . but since it was so cold i practiced accident avoidance for a couple days. til the boss moved it and freaked out WHAT's wrong with your brakes. i said you just have to plan your stops. then to the hanger for repair.
The begginning of an era, they hadnt thot of brakes...etc yet. They were enthralled by the art !
@Matthew Arsenault man, those put downs are RUDE!!! and contemporary to Jay's ride!! nice!!!
fiat went from making monsters to hamsters 😂
Yeah lol 😂
Hamsters are monsters
🤣
@@FenceThis so true
I love seeing classic Benz's like that one my great great grandfather Carl Benz would be proud of that example
Thanks for sharing Jay
