I love these guys. Jay is such an easy-going, salt-of-the-earth kind of guy and Don is a dapper, worldly gentleman. They have such a fantastic rapport and both retain an incredible memory of automobile history.

sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!

@Alessandro Coleman I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Osborne acts the same in person. I saw him at a car show once. He's was warm and friendly yet laid back. I say he would be a great guy to have a drink with!

[@nielgregory108]

Knowing him, it would be a glass of wine.

[@BeingMe23]

@@nielgregory108 Very true...

[@ed3402]

This channel is under rated. How have I never come across it before?? I’ve been missing out

[@MclaughlinTV]

I just found it, and Love Leno And Osbourne Together!

[@Laura-6887]

I just found out about this only yesterday

[@Charlesb88]

While the Audrain Museum opened n 2014 in the the historic Audrain building in Newport, Rhode Island, the museums YT channel only started two years ago, which is probably why you haven’t discovered it till now. When Donald Osborne took over as CEO of the museum he started a YT channel to promote the museum and educate people on automobile history. Due to the fact that Jay Leno had a summer home/mansion in Newport, and was previously friends with Donald (who has appeared on Jay’s CNBC show “Jay Leno8s Garage” (a separate show from his personalJay Leno’s Garage channel content). This made it easy for Jay to appear on this channel whenever Jay was staying at his summer place and allowed Jay to drive cars he didn’t have in hIs we collection. Jay is never a man to pass up driving new cars he never driven or educating folks about classic cars as he loves to share his hobby just like Donald he loves cars and and car history.

[@PaulSafford]

How did I not know about this? Love Jay, love cars, and love Jay & Donald together talking about cars!

[@SixPackDan]

45 seconds in you can see that Mr Osborne has style!

[@tavspop]

He can sing, too.

[@garryferrington811]

Five seconds

[@AUTOPSY666]

"Stylage"

[@rivaest38]

What a duo! I could watch these two all day and Don Osborne is one of this world greatest characters. Love the whole ethos of this show. The cars are fantastic. The houses, like the cars, are from a different age. I’m a Brit and never visited America but if I ever did, this is the part of the country I’d love to see.

[@peterf3606]

This is exactly what a car show should be, not manufactured drama and people angrily throwing tools across a shop, but folks who know what they're talking about, who understand the history and the societal factors behind the models being what and how they are. Jay and Donald have great chemistry and I'll gladly watch them driving around, having a good time and a great conversation.

[@jensjesfjeld6238]

Or guys named Rutledge trying to convince us he's cool.

[@marca9144]

I can see these two getting into a car and automatically transporting them to a scene from the year it was made. This would be a fantastic show that would have both humor and drama. These time machine episodes would be educational and entertaining and draw in a huge audience. Jay always talks about the great auto engineers of the past and imagine if they went back in time and were able to talk to them or at least watch them as they went through their trials and tribulations. I know that everyone that watches these two would be avid fans of this show. Well guys, how about it?

[@gerarddion4859]

Another well done video, gentlemen! All three of those cars have such style. They are all splendid choices of their respective eras. I'm so pleased that they have been preserved and equally pleased that you have featured them in this episode. Thanks to you both!

[@PlanetEarth3141]

When Osbourne and Leno are at the table eating in the intro and Oz just looks at the camera dead on and sighs heavily. Now that guy needs to be an actor. It's perfect. I laugh every time. What a great hook. They absolutely worked that out.

[@SankofaNYC]

These guys are hilarious together... I love this intro...

[@davidsmall1128]

It leaves me to know people who know so much about antique cars & mansions!....plus explaining sea air!...GRAND!

[@lionelphillip8763]

Hats 🧢 off to Mr. j. Leno. And thanks for the Blackman ,articulate input👍🏾🤛🏿👀🙋🏿‍♂️

[@randallfrank5682]

My wife and I visited Newport, RI a few years ago over the Thanksgiving weekend and just loved the place. It was fun touring the mansions that were dressed up for Christmas. For lunch and dinner on different days, we ate at the bar in the Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant and made friends with about 7 or 8 very welcoming people. One couple had a cabin up in Maine next to a couple that we knew from our home town of Fairbanks, Alaska.

[@williamkeith8944]

Why am I not surprised that Jay has a place in Newport. He's a great guy and well deserves the properties and machines he owns.

[@dougbj40]

Love the Felix and Oscar “Odd Couple” intro.

[@writerconsidered]

It has been so long since I saw that show I completely missed it here. Yet it did look awfully familiar to me.

[@bennyhannover9361]

25 years ago in London at the Royal Haymarket Theatre I saw them Tony Randall and Jack Klugman wonderful..

[@troynov1965]

LOL it didnt even dawn on me and I LOVED that show.

I haven't seen Osborne since Leno's car show I loved that show! Yeah Jay keep on doing your thing you always always make me laugh out loud! Love Jay Leno!

Those headlights on that gorgeous Fiat look like a sleepy basset hound. Polishing that brightwork looks like an all day job. But what a beauty.

[@sporty1701]

If you've never been there, the coastline of Rhode Island is truly breathtaking.

[@rickarra1833]

Great detailed description of the cars I hope the opening thought isn't missed. Jay eating pizza. A total paradox

[@pkuudsk9927]

Jay is one of very few people who call them-self a car guy who can do this type of show. Just knowing how to drive a 1900"s car is a feat in it's self, manual ignition advance , throttle, hand brakes etc.. People now under 40 who can drive a manual can't drive a "3 on the tree" shifter . Yet Jay has such vast knowledge of all cars he can drive anything .

[@johnlexo5331]

You two guys are THE BEST!!! More, more, MORE!!!

[@terrencebiggane8648]

Always great to watch these two guys together. The cars are facinating and the Newport footage and history make this a winning production. Looking forward to many more episodes.

[@MrRufusRToyota]

Glad Jay’s back in New England. His new house is truly beautiful, too m

[@georgerosa2070]

Excellent episode as usual, I am a Rhode Islander who lives on the water, and yeah..the maintenance never ends but it's worth it to live here. I've been stuarding my 70 Camaro for 33yrs now.

[@Erik-rp1hi]

Being on the West coast and never been to the East coast I hand to Find Jay's new neck of the woods with Google Earth. Found his mansion and scouted his new neighbors. Very green. Looks like a great place to live.

[@songsbyvitali899]

Wish they'd build modern cars looking this cool!

[@billdirlam744]

Great camera work. I really love the closeups of all that shiny brass on the Fiat. All the cars had fantastic workmanship and the filmmakers really captured the beautiful period details.

[@DV-ol7vt]

Jay and Donald has good chemistry, me and my kids watch every show they do together. These two have a lot of historical auto knowledge to share and do it in a clean family entertaining way. Thanks

[@1928ModelA1931]

I’m completely with Jay on his resto-mod statements. I used to work in the old car parts business. I used to say; “if you want a new car, go buy one”. I love the old-is-new-again look that is so popular with hot rods these days. Even if the car isn’t all original ‘32, I just lose interest when I look inside and find digital gauges.

[@derickdoveglass]

I laugh out loud every time I see Jay flip that pizza box lid open and crush the flower. And the look on Donald’s face haha.

[@shawnbradford2243]

Donald’s swim suit has a tie!

[@johndavey72]

This is informative and informal. I enjoy learning something new everyday and this doesn't disappoint . I adore all things automotive and enjoy architecture so it's a win win . The topping on the cake is Donald and Jay who gently pull each others legs each trying to outdo the other but don't care who wins . Lovely ! Thankyou both .

[@nipponjim7815]

i dont usually like the old stuff but the colour and the Zinc finish on the chromey stuff just looks gorgeous.

[@maxkreckel9799]

“Fish tends to smell worse than pizza.” LOL I really enjoyed this episode. Combining Newport history with the history of automobiles is a great concept. I look forward to more.

[@thomaslemay8817]

A proper pizza has anchovies and Limburger cheese ! so how can that be possible ?

[@mediocreman2]

He replied 'Depends on the toppings". 😅

It's nice watching these 2 very Classic Guys along with Classic cars.

[@Tmrfe0962]

What a wonderful combination, Jay and his self effacing humor and knowledge along with the class and equal knowledge of Mr. Osborne. I trust that this is the start of a fabulous channel. Thank you had best regards to all.

[@byronpink9061]

I agree 👍! These two guys make the coolest odd couple that know a lot about cars and history. Love the odd couple presentation. Both are phenomenal guys here. Thanks for sharing!!! BP

[@DWS1435]

I have always had classic cars and love them. I got a complaint that none of cars even have a passenger air bag. So I fixed that! Got a small brown paper lunch bag. Folded the top over and stapled it shut and and put a ribbon on it. Wrote with a sharpie " Passenger Air Bag" and set it on the seat. It got crumpled up and thrown at me. Some people have no sense of humor. I thought it was kind of funny. Go figure. Love you videos guys!!

[@loniallorenz2009]

one word: Awesome

[@mr.dmr.d9348]

Hi, One of the reasons fiat an Renault had the radiator at the rear of the engine was 1) you had a free hand on styling of the grill area, But 2) was it was easy to heat the passenger cab and monitor radiator temperature. We get extremely cold winters hear in Europe..... And trust me a cab that heats up fast and is nice n toasty is a big selling point....It was great for window defrost too. But not so good in hot summers, but it was quite common for us European's to use 2 wheels in the summer, Vespa or Triumph. Great show, Thanks

[@deltavee2]
