In the summer of 2008, I took a tour of Jay Leno’s Garage, and interviewed the man himself for over 3 hours about his collection, what he loves about cars, and life. You can find the entire set of interviews over at Fast Lane Daily, though you may have to search a bit, but what you won’t find is my own personal mega-gallery of shots taken inside the garage. I never intended on publishing these photos, but since Jalopnik ran quite a few photos of the inside of the garage yesterday, what’s the harm?
Unedited Leno Mega-Gallery Awesomeness after the jump.
Not only are the cars and bikes absolutely unbelievable, every single one is registered and insured, and in essentially perfect working order. There are steam engines, one of which was owned by Thomas Edison, and a giant steam generator outside to run them all. The large wall paintings, done by NBC’s set designers, correspond to the cars stored underneath them, and the wall space behind every car has memorabilia from each car. He has thousands of model cars, small engines, and a full restoration shop, where he could pretty much build anything from scratch. And he has some fireproof cloth, which he asked my friend to put on while he hit him with the blowtorch. Enjoy!
His collection is simply amazing, he collects cars like most of us would collect magazines or comic books, awsome high res pics to.
