Mr Leno is pretty cool IMO, you can't argue with his choice in cars either, shear class.

Yeap, the guy is a legend. I've got a book detailing his collection, he has a very open mind when it comes to cars, which is brilliant to see. Not afraid to get his hands dirty either as I understand. Tank Car ftw.

Definately!! He' a legend. Seen a few things on TV in the past about his collections and love of automobiles etc, but never too in-depth, they should give him his own show, to talk about his cars!! ;D

Lots of Peugeots, a few Volvo's and a Sierra...

What impresses me most aboout him is his love for cars, especially his decision to keep that Duesenberg in original condition - for me, that is the sign of a genuine enthusiast ;D . So many collectors buy such amazingly preserved vehicles, only to destroy the glorious patina (and imho also much of their historical interest) by giving them a 'Pebble Beach' restoration...

He was writing a monthly column for Octane at one time. He's one of those rich guys who you reallly don't mind having a hanger full of old cars 'cos you know he really appreciates what they are. While I suspect he's not was well off as Jay Leno, I stick Robbie Coltrane in that box too
