Adam Carolla's 1968 Lamborghini Islero - Jay Leno's Garage

[@chironapolonio]

The man deserves some kind of honorary doctorate in classic automobiles, if there is such a thing. Unbelievable. His taste is broad and his knowledge is all-compassing-ing. Amazing in a great comedian as well. I grew up with Jay.

[@mobiledevto]

I LOVE, LOVE this car. This and the Iso Rivolta and the BMW 3.0CS.

[@jmurray1157]

Any time you can hang out with Jay Leno and talk about cars is a great day!

[@likeits1985]

Listening to two celebrity car guys talk about cars, and learning about an obscure Lamborghini....very cool.

[@Bark3rd]

This vid made me laugh several times, especially the line Carolla used when Leno schooled him about the Gullwing production numbers "I'm used to talking to my wife's friends" , lol so funny.

[@abelstypewriters]

+Brian Gmail I thought the same thing. Adam Carolla seems like a car guy that's used to talking to non-car people. (probably like most of us) LOL. Can definitely relate.

Love these tone-downed cars from exotic manufacturers. The line of the door is beautiful.

My all time favorite episode is the one where Adams Ferrari broke down... Loved that you actually showed the reality of owning these classics.

[@remingtonsteele3220]

I had an Islero S. Before importing it to the United States my girlfriend and her sister and I did a road trip though Europe for three weeks. Suffice to say, the backseat was actually large enough for use and the trunk held all our luggage! Loved that car!

Hi Jay an english man (77) living in the UK who has also lived in the USA for a few years- i''ve enjoyed your garage u tube videos so much and thank you sincerely for sharing your marvellous collection with the World.I have owned/ ridden the Vincents.,a Velocette Venom,Douglas Mark V ( and a Triton briefly) also a nice number of cars including Austin Healey ,TR4A all of which I have loved deeply. Your comments and knowledge of your cars and bikes is spot on ,deep and again I thank you for sharing with us all.Your knowledge of Bugatti and Hispano Suiza has helped me understand them so much more.

I have now watched this twice. Adam's the best and Jay's a close second. I would love to have their cars and money to buy them.

[@brighton_dude]

I like it when Adam Carolla comes to Jay's garage with his Lamborghinis. The last one ran out of petrol, but Adam is human like me, a certain lack of forward planning on his behalf, but we've all been there. Adam is funny and has a gravelly voice, I always get the impression he has seen a bit more of life's strange twists and turns perhaps than Jay.

[@abbeykroeter]

YES!!! You GET it! Thank you for existing dude. Read all the other comments that suggest Adam is fake and JAY is keeping it real. I know to be ready for other opinions but sometimes... it's just bad judgment from modern shallow busy body idiots. I like Jay but your fair and reasonable (nice than mine) observations make sense to me. You can tell Adam has done well but not without seeing (AND REALIZING/REMEMBERING) some crappy times. He doesn't pretend they didn't happen. THANK YOU dude.

[@yakadee1]

The previous one was a Ferrari, not a Lamborghini, and he has a nasally voice, not a gravelly voice. But you're right about Adam seeing the other side of life.

[@AimForTheBushes908]

Good talk fellas, good talk. Looking forward to the next Leno-Carolla duet.

[@painmagnet1]

Adam has had a ton of life experience and I listened to his stories for years on Love Line. He's extremely funny, down -to- earth and intelligent. Very glad to see him as a success.

U gotta love the pause between Jay Leno's Wowowowow (13:05 sec).... and "Is that what an Italian opera sounds?"

[@UberLummox]

"Isleno", Jay called it at the end. Nice one! And this looks like a most usable, relatively fixable supercar. Killer looks imo. Tasteful and not over the top.

[@ghettoflyer]

Thanks Jay for talking him into sharing his car, and Adam thanks for sharing your car.

We all should thank people like Adam and Jay. These are cars we would never get to see if it weren't for their passion and dedication. Otherwise it would be a drab world of grey Civics and black Ford Pick-ups. I for one, really appreciate getting to look at something so beautiful on the road for a change. Thank YOU!!

Jay is a billionaire and is by far the more developed car freak, and Adam is merely a multi-millionaire--but Adam has by far the more track time than Jay, and is more of a competitor, I would like to see them bring their fastest car to a track and I think Adam would hold his own very well at a racetrack.

[@wangshu3117]

One of my fave Lambo's! The styling is understated, yet the proportions are PERFECTO!

[@abbeykroeter]

Gotta love Corolla. The guy has all this quiet (compared to other celebs) success, a life I would like to have with Lamborghinis and involvements stemming from true urges like chasing bad contractors instead of just making money any boring way possible... and he STILL sounds like the guy next door. I like Jay also but Adam sounds like he doesn't HAVE to be right; he loves cars but not quite as fan boy as others. The choice of the Islero proves it. Not a "look at me!" car but with respect and interest none-the-less, a car from a company trying to start from scratch in the 1960's.

[@2JZDestroyer]

As a soon to be vehicular design student, I really appreciate that this channel exist

[@jerambelu]

Ohhh the sound of that V12 getting on the freeway...delicious!

Oh man, I really love these cars from "back in the days". Sometimes I feel like I was born 40 years too late

[@bbbmw]

I've been looking for that car for years! A guy had a black one at Keels and Wheels in Clearlake years ago. Most beautiful car I've seen in the hard flesh..

[@CorneliusSneedley]

Yeah, nice, but you really ought to see my buddy Adam Lamborghini's Corolla. Oh, and using the music from the "This is Bob" male enhancement commercials in the running out of gas clip? Effing brilliant, my hat is off to you.

[@spokes5201]

A new found respect for Adam Corolla, he is knowledgeable. That color is "Medium Metallic Blue" in GM speak. I had a 1990 Formula that after wet sanding and buffing garnered a huge amount of attention- it is a sharp color. A darker version showed up on the C6 ZO6, and I've seen two later TVR's that were close, but that "pop" is more prevalent on 60's sheet metal. There was a 64 Bel Air wagon that I helped with the 409 and M-21 swap that I would love to know what happened to (same color). For all of the cars I've worked on, I did not see that "A/C bracket mount" coming. Thanks for the video, makes me want to go back to the garage and fix things.

[@GadgetyMV]

Thank you so much for putting the overlooked Islero on here. I prefer the sound of Lambo's V12 to Ferrari's. Glorious. You discuss "who's this slabsided Lambo for...". Me! Looks good with a suit and a tie. Wonderfully lit interior - lots of glass. Great visibility. Great for pan continental touring. Reminds me of the Lancia Fulvia coupe. Also it's great to hear the guest getting some air time, with interesting comments from both of you on the details of the car. Loved it. Probably my favourite episode from your garage.

[@ElusiveMasquerade]

That Lamborghini is like an old watch with all its gears and intricacies. Very beautiful and always an occasion.

While this one has awesome bumpers. And the car of course. But somehow the back looks prettier than the front

[@MimicoBungalow]

Oh man! ...around 12:35 in the video is what makes that whole video wonderful. The sound of Jay, accelerating and revving that beast up to where it should go - glorious! (these engines are remarkably dependable) I will accept that - with a grain of salt -because they actually made it back without the thing breaking

[@patrickmcgahee4532]

Love that Lamborghini I sleep better knowing that these cars are being preserved for future generations to learn about I'm 45 now , when I was 9 yrs old the family car was a 1929 model A I still remember riding on the running boards and helping my dad wet sand the next coat of paint on his latest project which was at the time a 1948 Chrysler New Yorker . Until my mom got home from grocery shopping in old blue . that's whet we named her 56 Ford. Lol I was fortunate to grow up being exposed to old cars dragged to car shows her my dad was still Air Force . it has forced me to drive nothing but older cars my whole adult life ,and would not want it any other way !! So thank you for you episodes ! Thanks ,Jay have a good day

[@MR2Di4]

Sounds like Jay knows the meaning of an "Italian Tuneup" which consists of running it wide open and hard, letting the motor wind up and getting all the carbon burned out of the heads and the carbs cleared out. Old cars do NOT like to be babied...

[@rizzo1303]

Just to correct you: Islero was the bull that killed Manolete, and not the other way around. Also the engine only has two valves pr. cylinder. The first production Lambo to have four valves pr. cylinder was the Countach 5000 QV :)

[@karlInSanDiego]

Right Martin, I was wondering if I heard Jay wrong about the 4 valves.

I had the misfortune of window tinting and delivering a Countach 135 miles. When the owner wanted another Lamborghini done I cringed, but accepted. That 69 Islero S was such a sweet car, so much more liveable than any Miura or Countach.

[@williamfstackjr]

Awesome

[@pauloalves143]

Hate to be a pedant, however this car was named after Islero, the bull that killed Manolete. Highly regarded in the period as the greatest matador. Not all Lamborghini are named after bulls but have a nomenclature pertinent to the Taurine world. Espada is the sword used, Miura is a revered breed, or race of bull known for its ferocity, Jarama a district where the animals are bred, etc. Countach breaks the series as this was Piedemontese dialect, having nothing to do with Tauromaquia.

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

Yes man that's correct, just let me suggest a few additions:the entry level "little" Urraco 2500/3000 also got named after the spanish term referred to a little bull (if memory serves me right) then I recall the Jalpa 3500cc.named after a fighting bull breed and the top class supercars Diablo and Murcielago whose names are strictly connected with the spanish bullfight history.

Actually there's a law in California (I'm told) that requires a police presence when filming, so they are well aware of who is driving what and it's done safely. In a few other videos you can see the police SUV in the shot.
