Sultan of Burnei still ownz.

7000 exotics, including 7, yes- 7 McLaren F1 LMs, one is an LM edition, of which they made only 5.

Leno's shit is hot though, so is Seinfeld..

I don't like Jerry's standup acts. He just isn't funny. As a matter of fact, he is the least funniest of the four on his show. I would have to say George is the funniest, then Kramer, Elaine, and finally, good ole' Jerry Seinfeld

Well, seeing as the show ran for 10 years, and was called "Seinfeld", I think a few people might disagree with ya...

Im a huge German car fan, and Jay Leno is certainly not my hero so I dont care what he thinks! Someone should mention the engine in his Mclaren though...glad to see hes representing on the British car front []

Each to their own remember

he mentions that his mclaren has a bmw v12, and he says that he doesn't like german cars, besides his mclaren.

He knows his cars, so i don't think we need to mention anythin to him.

Seinfeild is an interesting guy. In the papers a few months back his neighbors on the east side were complaining becuz he bought the property next to hiz condo and start building a 2 million dollar garage for all hiz porsches. Now you know you got money when you have a garage JUST for you built on the east side of manhattan...

jay leno kicks ass....even though hiz collection iz slighty different than ours would be

Ive no doubt he knows his cars, but the Mclaren is, of course, a BRITISH car with a German engine...

ya, sorry, thats what i meant.

he says he likes it because it was a one man's vision of what a perfect car should be, and leno agrees that the mclaren is pretty close to that.

check my gallery for some pics I took of the Mclaren

It is one of the most well proportioned, stunning cars ever made...looks great from every angle, and no compromises...all time great car. I guess hes more of an Italian car man though

My colleagues has been to his airport hangers as a team session. At the Burbank location, he has supposedly 80 cars and 80 motorcycles. He has a blue McLaren F1 that keeps in those bubbles.

Regarding the turbine bike, there is a rear mounted camera and a display on the dash because the rider needs to know how much clearance to have for the afterburners so it wont burn another car!!!

A friend of mine interned at the Tonite Show, he said Jay drives different cars almost everyday.

Apparently, there's a diner near Moholland drive that a lot of car enthusiasts meet up on certain Saturday nights. I guess Jay really likes to go hang out there with fellow car nuts. HEY- here is a great meet idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
