Ringbrothers Rolls Royce - Jay Leno's Garage

[@jaybee9708]

Love it when Jay hosts the Ring Brothers. Just a couple of Wisconsin knuckleheads and a Massachusetts car nut hanging out. Nobody trying to out-cool anyone, nobody trying to impress anyone with suspect facts. Just a bunch of guys having a good time. And the fact that these guys produce such high quality one-offs just makes it perfect.

[@1nvisible1]

*Great interview, the straight head screws would drive me crazy.*

[@williamr3840]

I like the fact that the Ring Brothers' cars are about pushing the imagination and having fun with a project-- they're not involved in playing the tedious and simple-minded, dumb status game that I've never been able to understand, leaves me cold. Jay too, with his fascinating car collection chosen out of a genuine interest and enthusiasm, and including some wonderful oddball mechanical creations that are more of an adventure than a form of transport. :0)

I had a 61 silver cloud for about 12 years. I had it restored, everything was original and it was my daily driver, people thought I was crazy, but I’ll tell you what, it stopped traffic. What those guys did was amazing. I wish I had the money to send mine to them. Thanks, Jay, I’m a big fan.

For the younger folks; that "mustard" reference had to do with the Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard commercials from back in the day that featured rich people in luxury cars asking each other if they have that brand mustard. The idea was that the mustard was so super premium quality that the rich only want that.

[@leemathis6053]

Oh, I'm old enough to remember that commercial, well done

[@gordbell3128]

hahaha....I'm old and didnt get it....mustard?? WTF??. Thanks MalluF.

[@zacychan1]

Ring bros made a video when they announced the vehicle, they had made up a couple jars of mustard for the video (when they lined up the new vs old). It’s a good video, worth looking for. (We built the stereo in the car, it was fun to work on, and it actually sounded quite good too). 😊

[@t5ruxlee210]

G-P got sideswiped later by the truth in advertising crowd and had to start buying some mustard seed produced in France for their product instead of Manitoba which is the world's main supplier...

Great job, everything looks and sounds fantastic apart from the dash. Fake wood looks sooo bad. Either keep the original walnut fascia or do something totally different.

@@willtaggart This is expected. A slotted screw driver is a flat bladed screw driver (I suppose same can say either) and imperial sized sockets like 1/2 inch or 9/16 should not be so "British". I mean America still uses miles and standard sized wrenches does it not? British Standard Whitworth (BSW) American Unified Coarse (UNC) was originally based on almost the same Imperial fractions. I suppose few have ever worked on old British cars so maybe they have funny thread pitch etc. The British Standard Cycle (BSC) and Cycle Engineers' Institute (CEI) standard are different again with finer threads so I guess I stuck my foot in my mouth on that.
