No, Jay, we certainly don't mind you one-on-one with us. The information you give us is wonderful, and I love seeing the open love you show to vehicles. Thank you, stay safe!
The polish the videos have with the crew is nice, sure, but Jay can entertain a crowd by himself. I'm glad we're still getting episodes instead of a hiatus.
I guess it would have been nice to see some more exterior shots, but maybe Jay could just pick a route that drove past his crew's houses, and they could film him as he went past, whilst still staying at home ;)
You never saw what this machine could do until you saw it in full flight on the back roads of Kenya way back during the good old days of the Safari Rally. You knew it was approaching from the unique configuration of lights leading the thick plume of dust in the distance... Still get goosebumps, those are some special childhood memories.
Never apologize for these videos. We don’t tune in for the cinematography, we keep coming back because you’re living our dreams, you’re one of us, and you get it.

That Stratos is one of the sexiest cars ever designed. I've always found them fascinating, and having the opportunity for a virtual ride in one is a real treat. You're doing a fantastic job keeping these videos going, Mr. Leno. With our without your crew, you are bringing a lot of joy to cart nuts everywhere, and I, for one, am grateful for your devotion.

This is a car that deserves to be mentioned in every single Automotive history book, simply AMAZING. This, the Lancia Delta S4, RS200, and Quattro. I could only imagine waking up in the morning, grabbing a hot beverage, and walking into a garage to look at these cars, screw looking at the sunrise. The Stratos though, is the true LEGEND.
Personally, I don't miss the crew, but I imagine that it's a bother doing everything on your own. But having uncle Jay talk about cars, any car, is just what I need against the covid monotony
One of these lived round the corner from me when I was a teenager, at the Chequered Flag Garage on the Chiswick High Road, West London. It was a regular entry in the British Rally Championship. You can't beat one in the iconic Alitalia livery though. One of my all time favorite race cars. The G5 turbo version was an utter brute. Go bid on it Jay, you know you want to.
Jay, You never need to apologize. I've commented a number of times how grateful I am that you're willing to do these videos, and how much I've enjoyed them. Thank you very much again!
I was 9 years old when I first saw and heard a Stratos. I’m 42 years today and still smile and get obnoxiously excited about these cars whenever I see one. Well done! Amazing video!
I have loved these cars since they came out. Bought a model kit of it in the 70's that I haven't even opened. These cars have been on my mind a lot lately and then boom! The video. Thanks Jay! This is a huge treat!
This seems like the most pure fun I’ve seen jay have in a car... he never gets tired of great automobiles. Jay no need to apologize in any video you are an absolute legend for bringing these cars to the masses
Some of us may be lucky enough to see this car once in our life but, none of us will ever see under the covers, under the car and see it drive. Fantastic. Thank you Jay Leno for your enthusiasm and desire to share your passion with others who don’t have the opportunity.
That chuckle on, "Synchromesh even in first gear!" magic... Great car. Great video. We're grateful for the vicarious pleasures of your obvious passion, especially in these challenging times. Once again, well done Jay!
2am and watching the content that Jay does is comforting in today’s world . The stories he tells qualifies him for one of the best on TH-cam.He apologized for the camera work,but it’s his talking like it’s just you listens as a friend that makes him so personable, no need for extra cuts.
Thats fantastic. John Campion's hero was Cork's famous rally driver Billy Coleman. Billy famously campaigned a private Stratos (owned by Graham Warner - Chequered Flag) in the UK during the late '70s. The car had been crashed and rebuilt so many times - without any support from Lancia - and still remained competitive, a testament to the strength of that chassis. RIP John.
No need to apologize for your solo made videos Jay. They are every bit as good and have a real honest quality to them. Thank you very much for keeping the content coming.
This is just one of those cars that always sounds (and probably feels) like you're going fast in it, even at 30 mph. Cars like that are just the absolute best when you're driving on public roads.
The car of my boyhood dreams which have remained life-long. Many thanks Jay for bringing this video to those of us passionate about the Stratos (especially in this challenging period).
When the going gets Tough Jay breaks out the Coveralls, iPhone 📲 and sends the staff home. If I may be Presumptuous, I’m confident Ur Fans & I love the Pandemic Uploads. Feels more intimate ❤️👍 ie. Hangin’ with Uncle Jay in the Worlds coolest & most expensive Man Cave.

@@herbhofmann7441 Wasn’t this John Campion’s own car? His Lancia Rallye car collection was complete and one of the best of not the best in North America. He had a Delta S4 for crying out loud!!! He sold his Ferrari collection for the Rallye collection lol
I can't imagine living anywhere near where Jay drives these. I would absolutely crash whatever car I was driving if I ever saw a Stratos driving down the road.
I've seen some of these cars in various auto shows, they are very impressive. Really tiny but with an absolutely aggressive design. I've never seen one driving down the road, obviously... Must be quite a sight to behold.

Lovely to see the Vincent in the background behind the car lift. Thanks Jay, the Lancia is indeed one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Totally drool-worthy.
When my son was young and we were living on Okinawa, they had a "supercar" show. . .they had a Countach, several Ferraris, a Muira and several other 70's "supercars". . .and a Lancia Stratos. . .it was the first time I had seen one and I fell in love, especially when they sat there and revved that engine. . .thanks for this one Jay 👍👍
RIP John Campion, a great Irishman and a great American too. Right up to the end he was passionate about developing young Irish motor racing talent and that continues on in his name. A great legacy.
Chris Harris and his episode on the Pirelli tire testing with Lancia, even Chris was speechless/scared s***less after riding passenger with the greats such as Ari hahaha
No apologies needed for lack of crew, Jay - just love this! Unbelievable car, and as always thanks for sharing the vicarious experience with all us gearheads and non-gearheads alike! Keep 'em coming !
Nobody minds the old way, Jay, we just love hearing ya talk about your cars.
Imagine it was him setting up each go pro and each angle change. Getting perfect shots everytime. Knowing lighting is dead on.

I agree, but still glad I don't live in California
Agreed. There's just something really nice about Jay simply talking about cars he likes.
I kind of prefer it, feels more real somehow
Theres so much truth in that statement.

I remember when he first started these videos, I always hoped they'd get popular, and now he has well over 3 million subscribers.
YOU R THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously tho!
Absolutely!
I will tell you a secret: he makes money from this. You probably go to work every day --> you are a legend!
The Stratos is one of the most beautiful cars ever made in my opinion.
60's alfa Romeo's n ferrraris
It was designed by the great Marcello Ghandini when he was at Bertone.
Adore, totally. Gandini at his best.
In person they are so chunky and compact. You feel like you could tuck it under your arm and walk off with it.
and with a beautiful story
Beautiful car, you can see the similarities to the x19 which I owned, I can't afford a stratos unfortunately.
“If you run over a dime you can tell if its heads or tails” Now that’s suspension that talks to you!! Another Car Academy Award goes to JL!!
I did laugh out loud on that one too!
The version I have heard is if you drive over an insect you can tell if its a male or female, both very funny.
@@deanmouhta ;4;
That's a great line!
"If you run over a dime, you could tell if its heads or tails in this car with this suspension on it."

Honestly Jay, these “pandemic edition” episodes are great, even when the “rona” is gone, we’d be okay with this style being used every now and then.
100% Agree... well said sir...
LOL! You think the swamp is just going to give up this power. That's hilarious!
+1 awesomeness! one on one with Jay. Thanks ☺️
I love him, he’s so cute to be sorry about it
Exactly. These are just awesome. There are these old school Leno vibes going on which I love very much!

You knew it was approaching from the unique configuration of lights leading the thick plume of dust in the distance... Still get goosebumps, those are some special childhood memories.
Unfortunately, a Stratos did not win the Safari (or RAC) Rally.
When you're given an opportunity to review/drive a car you may not get the chance to again. You have to do it! Thanks for sharing this history piece.
Don't apologise Jay. We love the "pandemic edition" episodes
it's funny because I'm used to watching a lot of youtube one-person operations, but even Jay's loner vids still feel like high end productions to me
I think these are not enjoyable to sit back and watch.
I love the pandemic editions more then the regular! i dont say that those are bad. but these pandemic specials are just

Probably the single most exciting car review I've ever seen on Jay Lenos Garage. The Lancia Stratos is the David of the rally car world.
Stratos is amazing but for me the twin charged delta takes the crown out of the two.
Actually that honor goes to the original Mini Cooper because it won the 63' Monte Carlo rally against other bigger more powerful cars.
@@bicyclist2 Yes! But then again I am British so I am a bit biased 😆
david?

Not only one of my favorite rally cars but one of my favorite cars in general. Give me this and a Lancia 037 and I could die happy.
And a Audi S1 E2 for me please.
Porsche GT3RS with a manual gearbox would be fine for me.
The 037 was a beast. I personally would prefer the Stratos and the Delta HF Integrale.
@@Harey0407 walter roehrl liked the 037.
And the Lancia Thema 8.32. The most understated sedan with a peppy engine.

That moment when you know that Jays about to spend alot of money. Lol.
RIP to the owner. I scrolled through his instagram when he passed on, he seemed like a very beloved man.
My first love is the Stratos. Thanks for showing it Jay. You made my month!
Lovely to see the Vincent in the background behind the car lift. Thanks Jay, the Lancia is indeed one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Totally drool-worthy.
When my son was young and we were living on Okinawa, they had a "supercar" show. . .they had a Countach, several Ferraris, a Muira and several other 70's "supercars". . .and a Lancia Stratos. . .it was the first time I had seen one and I fell in love, especially when they sat there and revved that engine. . .thanks for this one Jay 👍👍
I remember when they launched this car. It took everyone's breath away.
Me too ! I was 16 then, I had never seen such a beautiful, agressive thing before.
It still does. That thing is a work of art.
RIP John Campion, a great Irishman and a great American too. Right up to the end he was passionate about developing young Irish motor racing talent and that continues on in his name. A great legacy.
Chris Harris and his episode on the Pirelli tire testing with Lancia, even Chris was speechless/scared s***less after riding passenger with the greats such as Ari hahaha
Thank you so much for posting this one. I love the Stratos and play with a Matchbox model at my desk daily.
No apologies needed for lack of crew, Jay - just love this! Unbelievable car, and as always thanks for sharing the vicarious experience with all us gearheads and non-gearheads alike! Keep 'em coming !
