WOW! That is VERY cool getting that sort of compliment from Jay Leno!
He's a car guy - he knows what's nice.
Outstanding!

Yep. Like I’ve said before, real car guys can appreciate a replica just like any other car.
My guess is that if he ever saw Lane’s car, he’d be giving Carey a call.
He'd buy Carey out and advance to #1 delivery date
Carey isn't for sale. Carey would politely tell Leno to step off and get in line. That's how my friend rolls...
@DannyP @barncobob i LUV lanes supper coupe!...i'm sure mr. leno would as well....but i think he has a real 356 in the collection...if not, he could certainly afford a 1/2 $million dollar rod emory steel 356 with one of the trick "four cylinder" cut down 911 engines...i'd have one if i could...but,like mick said in a famous song "you can't always get what you want"....truer words were never said
He can afford anything he wants, which might be why he might like a 200-250hp mid-engined 356 clone.
Jay is a good guy. I’ve seen him stop and give his time and conversion to guys at shows who can’t afford high end cars, but are proud of whatever they have, in which Jay always shows an interest their story. Plus he made faded denim fashionable again.
@LeadPedal you are correct sir!.....i was a city employee for burbank ca for 30 yrs....and picked up mr leno's trash at his car collection taj mahal building....he always waved at me ...and must have 100 of those blue shirts!
jncspyder.............I worked for the City of Pasadena for 13 years. One of my divisions was trash truck maintenance. I was always amazed how this guys didn't puke working on those trucks ! I remember one of them had so many maggots in the back that they were rolling out on the shop floor like a broken 100 lb bag of rice ! I don't know how you did that for so many years ! I sure you have some stories too. Thank you for your service !..................Bruce
@aircooled you are correct sir!....i have seen stuff that would make a buzzard gag!...i also had heavy equipment landfill training....seeing the things that seagulls eat would make most people seek counseling...not for the faint of heart & back in day before these automated trucks....lets just say, not a job for choirboys.... i appreciate your comment, i surely do!
Shoal Canyon sound familiar ?.................Bruce
