I tried to access this site at college and its blocked due to "pornography/adult content" , I know it's exciting, but i think that may be over the top :)

I know he's a famous talk show host in the States, but how can he afford all that? That collection must be getting close to the $50 million mark.

Because he gets paid a lot, to put this into context;

Delia Smith invested £11million in Norwich City Football Club, and she's 'only' a cook and author.

Jonathon Ross earnt several million a year working for the BBC, and Leno gets paid much more then him.

So I'd say easily, and wouldn't we all if we could? Thing is he does use the cars too, but you can't drive them all every day!

According to Forbes.com, Jay Leno's salary is US$32 million per year.

Apparently he has generated over a billion in revenue since he took over from Johnny Carson.

But that is beside the point; the bloke LOVES cars. Props to him

he's putting his money to a good use

i've always said if i win the euro millions i'm going to rival beaulieu :)

to be honest most of the car's leno has aren't to my taste, but are deff bloody nice cars

mostly american idol cars, and not really what us brits would go for

however did anyone else spot that Escort rs turbo hiding in there that would be in my collection for sure :)

If we could we would.Years ago when the word escort XR3 came out i bought the red/orange X-pack.It was better made than the white RS turbos that came next.Not AS fast from the shop new but with a few mods the same and more people liked it.Most the RS turbos would blow up,rust and jump about on the road like a pram. The X was the starting of the range they fitted them out great,a rock hard ride.Some snapped the chassis over bumps.It did not rust and i loved and used it a few years daily. when i saw the Capri 28i it had to go.There was a big pile of mates wanting it so as we do sold it to an old school friend from the past .I have a car fetish buying them.The most fun i ever had when young was with Classic Minis so even at 47 i like it here for a chat best.Myself and my crew back then built loads,i was the one with a family scrap yard full of them by Cov.I do go on a bit old age,one thing i liked doing was putting in working every clock out of a dolly sprint .Got told of.Next was seats, what came in next a scrap TR7 seats straight in Mini on my runners.Then the exhaust system Lcb twin back pipes crome.Then i wanted to paint it white roof and some P.Red after fitting 10x6 wheels i had to add archs no plastic for the MOT.The storys of sport will go on.In my garages i have someones Merc. and some bikes.I have to park on my drive.
