Lotus Elan + Big Old Guy
Jay Leno owns a pretty nice Lotus Elan and put up a decent video of it the other day. I never realized how much they look like an NA miata. Impressive performance for 69' too.

I'm so torn between love and hate with Jay Leno. Sometimes I want to see him empty an Uzi clip in his mouth and blow doritos out the back of his head (Bill Hicks), and other times I want to praise him for driving bad *** cars that most people would rather rub with a diaper.

sounds like a nasty cam profile too. lol
I think we own the last car of an era. We'll never see "light," RWD, simple cars like ours ever again. I had that much fun last night driving my car through the hills in Austin.

I feel that same way, I love the car guy in him but can't stand his show.

Dang, that Elan is probably even faster than 2/3's of modern cars, 1600 pounds with almost 170hp and a 9500rpm redline. Granted it cost a bit to get it from 120ish hp to 170hp, still would beat up on a lot modern convertibles.

Great video. Really makes me proud to own a car that was modeled after such an amazing vehicle. Im also split with Leno. Love his cars, and that he is a car guy, but dont like his show or his comedy.

I saw Leno at a Casino in Vegas about 10 years ago. This was in the casino, not at a show. The guy looked really bad. Gray skin and worn out and this was 10 years ago. Just plain looked unhealthy. When he isn't "up" for the camera he looked like a sorry guy to me. Just wish I had his cash and collection.
