Matt’s 16 minutes and 37 seconds of fame! Superfastmatt - entertaining & informative TH-cam channel.
whos that old dude next to superfastmatt?
@@Ian.toyuki Idk, I think he stole the car and is holding Matt hostage or something
Does Matt still own the car?
@@RaiderX948 I think so yeah. He's currenty working on a tesla swapped 1960s jaguar and an offroad dodge viper
This is one of my favorite episodes. It's a real project car from a normal and reasonable guy. Some of the other videos get a little old with guys who send the car off to half a dozen high-end car restorers, and then have a bonor to tell Jay about some special screws that hold on the gas filler cap
Matt is awesome, sarcastic, entertaining, and a lot of other adjectives, but certainly NOT normal and reasonable, which is what makes his channel fun to watch.
I'll add that he nailed the kaka eating grin.
LoL... Perfect. "... have a boner to brag to Jay about special screws...".
Normal and reasonable?!? He is building a baja style lifted Dodge Viper... He is building a electric 1950 Jaguar... He is everything but normal and reasonable, and that's the reason so many follow him and his crazy projects!
The grin plastered on the builder’s face while Jay drives the wheels off of his car is a thing of pure joy.
He's thinking, if Jay crashes it, I'm going grab my neck and ask for a Koenigsegg.
Nah, that's to keep the bugs out of his mouth...
When you impress Jay, you know you built something special.
The builder has his own channel, explaining the build. Really well done.
@@tvdinner325 Yeah, its encouraged me to do a similar build of my own in the near future. Just need to find a reasonable shell around where I am which has been proving difficult!
Simple is best. Of all the supercars Jay's driven, his real joy of this episode reveals that money isn't everything.
Great point!
leno's showcased tens of millions of dollars' worth of cars, and this little $10k garage project is the most exciting to watch
so cool.
he said it was closer to $5k, this is incredible. $5k and you have an unique car that you will never get tired of. so good. wish he went with a pre VTEC VFR engine just for that incredible sound.
@@portugezemonster He has two vids on his channel (super fast matt) he said it was probably about $10k once he got home and did the math because the reverse gearbox was expensive.
joel loughead never seen Jay smile so much while driving a car too.
@@portugezemonster I just sold my 99... And I regret it. Time to buy another one.
@@kylejscheffler Lol. Are you talking about selling a motorcycle? On this video? Hahahaha!! That's hilarious.
Great to see Jay driving so enthusiastically… especially in a guest’s car. To me, it’s says 1. He has confidence in the car (wheel’s aren’t going to fall off, brakes won’t fail, engine isn’t going to blow up) 2. He’s enjoying himself (car is providing a good experience).
Too bad the engine blew up as soon as he took it to a track haha, you should check out the guys channel, Superfastmatt.
Plus if he breaks anything you know he will make it right.
@@Lucidbkeo I think he was happy when it blew up - an excuse to put in a bigger one.
I love how chill the owner is with Jay driving, he's thinking Jay makes 5K a minute, I'm covered
Covers the cost but not the sweat tears and blood :-)
@@TragicAyk and the humor, too. Check out his channel Superfast Matt for all his funny dad jokes
@@TragicAyk he actually comes to terms with the fact that the motor could blow at any point. hes a pretty good sport about it.
@@possibleproblem479 And wouldn't you know it...
@@Rosteripulla honestly i thought the tranny would go before it got starved of oil. guess he didn't baffle his oil pan lol
This must be the longest "drive" portion of any Jay Leno's Garage I've seen in years. He must have really liked being in this thing!
DH Bennett i noticed he didnt have much to say but he really enjoyed it
DH Bennett Hahaha yeah it was great, that things makes such a fantastic noise. Leno obviously enjoyed giving it a spanking.
He just wanted to drive the crap out of it. He must of loved it...
A bit too long, imo
DH Bennett I'd never want to get out.
Love how this video is 50% engine noise. Fantastic sounding engine.
love this video. best video on internet.
an it's the stock muffler, that came with the bike! crazy how some people feel the need to change mufflers on these kinds of bikes.
Nikola Dietmar Krapp Wright reduction
this is the epitome of a drivers car
I’ll have to see what noises develop in the electric motor evolution... I mean, engine noise = horsepower for many generations.
This is the most excited Leno has looked diving any car on the show.
Hell it's the most excited I have ever been watching a Leno's garage! That car and that guy that built it are both cool as hell! Sick of the million dollar cars! And you be right bout the smile on Jay's face! Pure joy!
Sure ain't no Stanley Steamer!
@@jamespennington9719 Absolutely!
Yeah, he looked like he was really having a good time. 😁👍
Ĺenno drives it like he stole it, thats awesome he didnt just wimp around.
I can just see Jay & Matt flying up that canyon road and the local sheriff is sitting up the road a ways waiting for something to chase. He hears a motorcycle, OK, he's waiting, and then this thing comes screaming around the curve with Leno & Mat laughing like a couple maniacs and hammering gears like there's no tomorrow. He'd probably spend 30 minutes getting them to show him all the trick stuff that Matt did in building it. A close friend of my family is a retired CHP and he's told me about that sort of situation. He's gotten to check some really unusual custom bit that some guy built in his garage. He's said it is just amazing the creativity that some guys pour into one of these things.
Yeah, Matt had to remind Jay that the car had brakes and not to be afraid to use them. hahahaha
Little Tujunga Canyon. ‘Bought as twisty as Mulholland at the Rock Store
@@GoinManta Made me laugh hard... Ole Jay putting it through the paces had him uneasy it seemed!
Naah it only sounds like it. The camera truck was overtaking them half the time
that thing looks more fun than 90% of the stuff I've seen here
Plus it's not a garage queen
And less than 10% of the price
I'd put this up there with Piss'd off Pete on my list.
@@mattkinsella9856 try 1% XD
These cars made in some dude's garage are some of the coolest things, I wish I had the mechanical knowledge to do something like this.
Bender Rodriquez its easy to build stuff like this... you just need money and resources
Bender Rodriquez Buy a really cheap little japanese car (those tends to be cheaper) and buy a maintenance manual to fix it up. You will learn a lot doing so.
Bender Rodriquez Buy an old piece of junk and start wrenching on it. Something really simple like a 90's Corolla or a Honda Civic. You tend to be a lot less worried taking something apart if you don't have to drive it to work the next day.
Buy a first-gen Miata.
But you can only bend stuff! :D
6:07 "You have to keep it above 4K" should be Honda's slogan.
King Hip-O Pretty sure it is in Japan
@@Xanderfied my Mitsubishi Delica/L300 turbo diesel makes peak torque at 2K
@@dieselgeezer18 well now that's not a Honda, now is it?
you can drive honda element below 2k all day... it's a dog/truck... same i4-2.4L engine as in accords... not all hondas are revvy (unfortunately)..
@@pretol1 bahaha you shouldn't admit you drive an element
When jay starts talking about his car designed by Gordon Murray, you can tell jay is totally intrigued and actually trying to be way more genuine a person with him than a large number of people he has had on the show.
That's what I thought too. Seemed like Jay was really relaxed and having a good time!
This is what it is all about. Regular guy with crazy good skills and Jay leno doing what Johnny used to do... giving regular guys with talent their 15 minutes of fame. Great show.
15 minutes eh? He does have 290k subs on TH-cam :P
@@tbthegr81 Yes, this is a saying in America , it implies that a very famous person like Jay Leno is giving someone who I would have never known existed air time to be recognized. It was a positive comment. Also I hate to break it to you but there are housewives who clean ovens with homemade baking soda that have 3 million views, and no one knows who they are. I was glad to see this gentlemans work, a true talent. Cheers
@@tbthegr81 By the way this video has 1.5 million views.
@@nelsonoliva2119 yes I know the expression, but its founded on the fact that nobody knows who the person is :P
Matt has 1+ million views on plenty of his videos.
(Subscribers only account for a small amount of the total views a video gets)
@@tbthegr81 yes sir nobody knows who "matt" is. If I put a picture of "matt" in times square on a large screen, millions of people would be looking at themselves saying , "who the hell is that"... however if I put a picture of Dwayne the rock Johnson , almost everyone who knows who he is. You get it? are you done? Do you need more explanations and examples of why I meant it is nice for Jay to give "nobodys" a few minutes of fame? Get it now? or do I need to draw you a picture? Cwn you go troll other comments now? Or are there no meatballs you can throw in the oven?
i think that's the longest driving segment on this whole show
By now 2020 I've watched hundreds of Jay's videos, and let me tell you that I know when he is really enjoying the ride, the smile in his face is genuinely different.
Way to go, Matt. I watched your first two videos of the build and followed the link here to see it in action. Holy crap it's fast. Love the sound.
That thing has an amazing smiles per gallon ratio.
Awesome. A K20 is ringing in so many Honda heads as they view this.
....Let's try and squeeze er in.. A B20 maybe....
i am a muscle car guy but this has to be one of the coolest cars that has been on the show.
You can tell Jay liked it because of how much time they spent on the drive.
It is a muscle car. Just a bit smaller.
Its cobra-esque. As light as possible with as much hp as it can handle. Luke a go kart
So would you guys consider a ls swapped Miata a hot rod👀. I hate that miatas get hated on little fuckers will surprise you that's for sure. Expecially with a motor that's capable of 300hp on stock internals reliably on a good tune
@@farmerbobbygrows3338 i dont know anyone that hates miatas, they are just cool little sports cars, not very offensive, and yeah id consider an ls miata a hot rod
Two car guys in a car so fun to be in that they sat in silence for much of the drive. Those long moments where all you hear is the car say so much.
Every now and then I have to come back and watch Jay rip this thing around the canyon roads. Always puts a smile on my face.
Broke my heart when he said he got rid of the Viper and now drives a minivan... Marriage scares me
Roland Ocomen yeah but now he has this.
Roland Ocomen gotta grow up at one point ya know? Family first and hobby second.
I would get a nice wagon with respectable power instead of a minivan, I think BMW has one
Papaya Man
BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Cadillac - all of them have powerful wagons in their offer.
***** Awww yeah! Which one do you like the most?
That car looks like a go kart with jay standing next to it. lol It has a Honda CBR1000 DOUBLE R Engine! I can dig it!
@2:32 "There's no market for pre-used parts for this car."
DUDE, WHAT, AND WHERE DID YOU ADVERTISE?
Also, Hondas of of a certain ilk just impose smiles; more Honda vids Jay
It is
DOUBLE R
Imagine this car with a quick shifter
In one of Matts videos he said that he wanted a shifter cart with a license plate.
Dude smiles nervously the hole drive.
"Don't be afraid to use the brakes....."
Nice!
I think he meant for Leno to speed up not slow down. If you don't need to use your brakes on a twisty road then you're not going very fast.
@@buggs9950 Looked to me like he was almost wincing through that grin every time Jay changed gear and give it beans poor guy was probably thinking oh god my clutch is gonna burn out or the rods are gonna come through the side of the block. Don't forget he said it wouldn't last forever well dude after lettin Jay rip the back out of it I'd say you're at least a thousand miles nearer the appointed rebuild time LOL
@@baron1946 i was thinking he was more worried about jay having a roll bar and not him, since he removed the passenger one "because it looked bad"
@@jacobjacksonsson9375 Yeah that's a very valid point I think I'd be putting that back he may not like how it looked but should it turn over at any point a lifeless passengers blood-soaked body ... less head, would look a whole lot worse me thinks
@@baron1946 was thinking exactly the same thing... then Jay got it right after a short while (edited for length ?)
The smile on Matt's face says it all. What a great build and what an amazing thing to meet Leno. Just 2 car guys hanging out.
I love how the guy is smiling for the whole drive. A true car lover.
You DON'T throw stuff away!
Yeah....tell my wife that.
Jay is clearly not used to the DIY approach. This this is sweet! Still, I have to admit: this though would present a lot prettier if he cleaned up the engine bay / etc.
@Lost Pants I've got 45 years in.....couldn't find another woman who could stand me.
@lahokc59 fact
@@tomnekuda3818 Funny how women don't like it when you keep a few spare car parts in the shed, but get offended when you question why they have 17 cushions on the couch and a useless little thing on the shelf that says "HOME". Women have their own kind of hoarding, but only yours is unacceptable because it doesn't align with their interests.
48 years of automobile admiration and this garage frankenstein gives me the goosebumps like no other! Well done and awesome video!
"When you get too old to ride the motorcycle, just put it in a car." Classic Jay. :P
its sooo trippy hearing a motorcycle engine rev out of a car. what a work of art
Basmatibeats the original s600 used a motorcycle engine as well
Basmatibeats the exhaust sound is a bark of Art
Drive an s2000 too, brother. It's crazy how similar an s2000 sounds compared to its s600 and s800 older brothers
jay: ya got nitrous in it?
guy: yup
jay: *laughs like an evil villain*
3:39 if you're wondering
You know Jay likes it a lot when he actually goes into the canyons for a while instead of those really short drives he often does. Also, I absolutely love when cars keep the dim old headlights.
Honda's S series are amazing! I remember the first time I saw an S2k, totally peeked my interest as it wasn't badged. Seeing this is like seeing a real war vet. Granddad has a story to share ;)
Well, I m a homeless man, so budget is a never, but I live in my first Honda. A first gen CR-V I scored for $250 a year ago. It has 271xxx miles on it and dispite most the rubber being rotten/missing, shes still a spunky car. Not fast by any means, but slow now. She's kept me warm, employed, and shown me the world. I have a dream of shaking the men's hands of whom designed this car. They sort of are the reason I live so plush today.
Can you imagine how this guy must feel? This is Jay Leno, a man used to driving a McLaren P1 and he clearly loves this car. Something this guy built in his backyard. This goes to show that simple, lightweight cars are often more fun than high horsepower exotics.
Looking at the genuine smile on the maker's face, it is rather the happiness to share the joy with other car enthusiast and not a hapiness coz the "billionare, showman, carcollector" likes it.
It I always more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow!
@@meestahwah That's a fact!!
"Simplify, then add lightness" - Colin Chapman founder of Lotus car company.
I'm more impressed that the guy just woke up one day and built that bad boy from the ground up. Amazing piece of engineering!
That dude's smile cracks me up. He seems so happy that Jay is ripping it
Leno is a true car enthusiast. After watching a good amount of these these shows and seeing what he's likes, his knowledge, and then the watching him drive the vehicle. he has a deep love for the the automobile and all facets of it.
Out of all the ultra high dollar cars and trucks that have been on this show, this is by far my favorite and you can drive it without worrying about the paint!!!! Thanks Jay and team!
Yep yep yep! Couldn't agree more.... Well, the Mazda RX-3 is a beast
Love the non stop grin on the guys face.
2:35 YES, there is a market brooo. GD, I would have bought that.
I come back and watch this vid all the time; my fave Leno's Garage ep
Mine, too.
This looks like one of the funnest cars he has had on .
That's not a grin, he trying not to scream in front of the camera!
Congrays, Matt, on getting a showing with Jay, and having him LOVE it, as you do.
I cant believe this is 6 years ago... Matt weekend'ed this thing just last week.
The fact that a car collector at Jay's level can appreciate a budget build like this speaks volumes.
That was awesome. Someone PLEASE tell Honda they are missing out on a huge opportunity... They absolutely need to design a small sports car around one of their sportbike engines. If I could buy one of these from Honda I wouldn't even think twice. This seems like a no brainer to me.
Honda built a s660 which is a small sports car like this, but only for the Japanese market
I am aware of that, but the s660 doesn't come close to this. How about a 1200cc 180hp bike motor in a brand new Miata fighter. That would be epic.
I do agree with that but high strung bike engines are just not good for the public, they require lots of maintenance, and honestly a sport bike with 30k miles is high mileage. They need a new S2000 for sure, and I love high winding engines, if they made one for it that would rock. But a bike engine well it's made for a bike. Not lugging around a car for many more miles.
Worth it though. Even if you have to drop a new motor in every 30k miles it is still cheaper to maintain than a Porsche. Sportbikes aren't for everyone either, but Honda makes a bunch of those. Why not a car?
Good points!
I'm a bike guy and have been racing and doing track days for years and the thing is a Riot !!! : ) My brother has and old beat up Fiat 124 Conv. with a blown engine and I have a spare Suz. Hayabusa motor in my garage !!! Hmmm sounds like a build ! : D
I have a friend that has a 124 and I was thinking of telling him to do the same
Abe Knockallama Lol Fantastic man ! Take your time and make a nice clean safe build and then rip it up on a track day !!! : D
+Prog X well I'll pass the idea on to my friend, but personally I own a Datsun 521 that I'm working on so i have to finish that first.
Abe Knockallama I hear ya, I have three different Bike projects going on .. a 2000' Hayabusa Dragbike, 06' Hon.CB919 Hooligan and a classic 80' Suz. GS1000 Cafe'. Everytime I get stuck on something hard or frustrating I move on to the next one and back again ! Not the best way but it seems so at the time. Lol The 521 sounds cool. Good luck. : )
That Suzuki sounds very nice.
Superfastmatt is one of the funniest engineering/car channel out there, love it
And by the way, NEVER paint or clean up the looks of this ride, it is so cool the way it is ! And that exhaust sound, don't EVER change it !
Have a 70's Ford original paint but looking to preserve that paint as-is with a wrap or dip.
Saw damage this year from vandalism. Was Not a show car, just a survivor.
Sad you have to hide stuff to keep it nowadays.
That guy was clinging on for his dear life.
jospi2 11:36 "don't be afraid to use the brakes" Yup
jospi2 I bet he wished he had added the passenger roll-bar!
***** i think he wanted him to go harder
Janos Molnar i think he wanted him to break harder! LOL! "Don't be afraid to use the breaks,this thing has the best breaks of any vehicle I've ever driven (hint: please PLEASE JAY - USE THEM!)" @ 11:35
***** LOL, I missed your comment and wrote the same thing. ;)
This video and vehicle made me smile from beginning to end. Looks like such a fun sports car to drive. Love it!
I thought the same thing as I was watching. Of all the cars Jay has had on his show, this one looked so much fun. You can tell that Jay had a lot of fun with it as well ..
Man, what a great episode, not trying to sell you anything but fun!
On the other hand, I couldn't help thinking that Leno, who used to earn an 8 figure salary, is driving this homemade go cart on public roads. Wonder if he had to sign a waiver........never mind..... Looking it his smile says it all.
It's like a Street legal Go Kart.
Performance looks to be what used to be called "Blistering!", and oh' my, that sound is spectacular!
It's nice to see this truly outstanding build receive the acclaim that it merits, particularly from someone that knows about and is highly experienced in high performance road cars!
The builder made two videos about this conversion, both of which sre meticulously detailed, and he has added to the knowledge base of enthusiasts creating their own special cars using brains in place of bank balance.
The most impressive part is that he draws parts up on CAD and sends them off for fabrication. The Jag he modified had suspension parts made and a Tesla battery and motor installed.
I thought Jay was going to whip out his checkbook at the end of this one, he enjoyed it that much. I like the sequential bike trans in this car. The owner needs to take this car to track day.
He probably did
The owner was grinning ear to ear too. He loved getting a ride in it. Amazing dollars to smiles
I thought about that too, but I was betting for the middle of the drive :)
He needs to build one just for Jay. Matt has to keep his original.
I truly can see Jay having a ball in that car. Fantastic creation that is a credit to the owner.
The non-verbal expressions say about all you need to know about this build !
Watching the smiles on both Matt and Jay, tells me this car is a BLAST to drive !
Like Jay said, this little car makes all the right sounds !
Who needs a sound system when you have a 12000 rpm rocket sled doing the talking !
This little project puts the fun back into the art-form of California hotrodding !
Great job Matt !
And thank you Jay for featuring this little hot rod !
For those who haven't yet seen the build process video,
I HIGHLY recommend Matt's 2 part video of the thought process, and trial and error effort that went into this project !
Jay is so happy because it brought him back to his youth. Before he had money and was a kid again.
No cares, no money, no women, no responsibilities, no headaches. Just the road , a lot of engine , and time to Cruise.
7:44 the moment Jay fell in love with that car. 😊 The engine sound is gorgeous
Jay must love that car because never drives cars that long on this show. Awesome ride. I own a 66 Datsun Roadster that I might put a 1300cc Hayabusa motor in.
"Don't be afraid to use the breaks." Key phrase for slow down. Man, passenger looked nervous. lol
I'd take that as "The brakes are great so you can wait a little longer before getting on them to corner." 😆
Quite the opposite. He was saying you can go faster and don't worry about slamming on the brakes if you need to.
Brake too late and something breaks. ;-)
You're crazy lol, this was the happiest owner/passenger I've ever seen on one of Jay's videos, and the happiest I've seen Jay in a long while, he needs to drive this again at the beginning of 2021, he's looking like he needs it being locked down during this BS. I wouldn't be sad selling Jay my CBR1100XX Super Blackbird even if he wanted to tear it down and build his own with his own S600.
That car is pretty much the definition of fun. It’s light, it’s quick, it sounds good, and it looks great.
Seriously, one of the coolest cars I've ever seen. A street "car" revving to 11+K! Sounds great. Looks cool too.
Von Sterner that's a honda for you. They have at least 10 cars that revved over 8000 rpm stock
A real car guy sharing his passion for cars
Lol right, more like a real bike guy. Get a clue
Jay came alive inside when he drove this thing. Beauty in all types of hot rods.
Wow. I actually see this car every day in my parking garage at work and stumbled across this video. Very cool.
You are one lucky guy!
By far my favorite Garage episode. Thanks Matt for building this and thanks Jay for making this episode happen. Just awesome!!
I was unaware of the S600. What a beautiful car. This one is a beast! Jay can still get down, too!
Great car !!!
You've gotta love Jay Leno. He's still a regular guy who loves cars. The fame and fortune hasn't ruined him.
This is my favorite car you have ever featured.
8:39 Matt has PERMAGRIN all over his face!
Well hell yeah, he got Jay's attention with his car, and got it on his channel, damn awesome
He's a cutey.
I dont know a guy that doesn't have a grin when sitting in a car that's accelerating
Rand across Matt's video and loved it. Talk about a great surprise when I found out Jay Leno had a video. Love the hell out of this car. Could listen to that sound all day long. Great Job Matt.
I get a kick out of his glaring smile the whole drve: You can tell he is proud of what he designed! Such a cool car
Love the car love all the Honda 600 lines I have a 72 Z 600 that I'm building I'm putting a Honda Goldwing GL 1500 in it using a 94 Mazda Miata front and rear clip cut down in fabricated to fit I hope I end up with something as cool as that little S600
Do you have any videos of your build? We have been sitting on a Honda Valkyrie that we are doing to do a swap with. Just found our donor car yesterday. Going to hopefully be putting it into a 1974 Austin American.
Love this video. Hardly ever saw Jay enjoy himself more, and the face of the owner is just one great smile!!!
Ah, yes. The two legends of classic cars and comedy, Superfast Matt and Jay Leno
Thing is screaming like a Ferrari at Lemans, all while safely traveling at about 50-55 mph. What a fun ride.
"I hear a motorcycle ripping down the street"
*Looks over*
"A honda?...."
Geoff Menna Honda does make fantastic motorcycles but it would be so funny to see a car with this engine flying by
@@cosmicfiber4 the car is a Honda, not the engine. Lol
It's awesome because it doesn't sound like a car, it's distinctly a motorcycle.
@@teddygrizz Actually i think the engine is a Honda, 1:35
@@thecorsentino oh yeah yeah sorry the cbr1000rr is a honda bike engine
@@teddygrizz The engine is a Honda. Lol.
When Jays tapping his foot while at a stoplight you can tell that he’s thinking about building/or buying it. Jays really loves that thing.
That is an awesome car, but an even better video. Who would meet a guy with a car that looked like this, chat him up, and then feature it on a show where he'll get international attention. Only Jay Leno. The man is a car guy. Period.
finally heard the rev limiter when he hit the nitrous! The builder was having the best day of his life, good one Mr. leno!
The sound of this car gives me goosebumps from head to toe. no lie. This is ASMR. WOW. I. WANT. THIS. CAR.
Superfastmatt has a fair amount of info on how he made it, you would need his skills tho ig, he's really experienced and good and making stuff work
Agreed. This and the Pur Sang Alfa Romeo video.
"Don't be afraid to use the brakes"
11:36
Lmao
Probably cause jay could have been driving faster and coasting less
Using too much engine breaking. The mounts will snap off.
Jay Leno is the man's man. I love that guy. He's been with me almost my entire life.
Same
I could watch Matt & Jay talk cars all day
I loved this episode, pretty refreshing to see something a little rough round the edges, but enjoyed, on your channel. It seems to me that the drive lasted a little longer than normal too!
bradders3535 Lol. I agree. Cool, grungy car, filler in the canyons.
bradders3535 It's been said when Jay really likes a car, he drives it for 45-60 minutes. When he is not into it, 20-25 minutes.👍
aquateen77723 Given the amount of different shots and camera angles in the canyons, I wouldn't be surprised if they were out for 2 hours!
Looks like this dude brought Jay a lot of joy with a small amount of money. He just keeps flooring it for half of the video!
You can tell how much jay loves this little car haha, I can imagine with such a light weight and a high revving engine, that no domestic car has, this thing must be a pleasure to drive.
I love this thing. This is why I'm into cars.
One tip tho, regarding filming/editing. If you use an exterior or flyby shot, can you use the exterior audio as well, instead of cutting in the onboard audio? I want to hear what these things sound like from the outside.
You may be cool but you’ll never be “ riding through the canyons in a motorcycle engined car with Jay Leno driving!”
You didn't finish your sentence
Two car guys with plastered on grins bombing through the canyons of California. A fun time was had by all
I think that is about the longest test drive I have seen Jay do. He WAS having fun!
You can tell Jay really loves this car. I fully understand Jays disappointment when the guy said he tossed all the old parts. I had a Honda N600 that I wanted to restore but gave up on due to the shear lack of parts. I found out to keep something very rare like a 600 running you need three cars more as parts donors. I sold mine try to another 600 owner.
I was just taking off the headphones to go to bed... Then this popped up.
Oh well.
"...don't be afraid to use the brakes..." lol I think this is the first time I've ever seen Jay really open a car up and push it around the curves. I've been looking as close as I can and I swear it looks like he's barely flicking that shifter. It looks like he's really diggin' this little rat-rod...
Jay is always so good at interviewing the owner - asks good questions and his passion shows through..... Love the sound of this little car. The owner was pretty laid back too!
Well great, I just watched this video and now I have to spend my life building one because this is the most badass thing I've ever seen.
***** After about three seconds of wide-open throttle, I was hooked. Bravo to Mr. Brown for building this fantastic roadster, and to you for sharing it with us.
I still don't think I've seen Jay more impressed with a car.
Don’t remember when you’ve been more tickled and showed him a buttload of respect,well done
That dude's grin... awesome.
I was smiling the whole video through, just can imagine how it would be in the canyons. Nice video Jay!
