    Our Austrian guy is a walking encyclopedia of racing history around the evolution of this fine race car! What a video!
  • The Austrian guy is a great ambassador for Austria. Hugely knowledgeable and so passionate about the cars. This is a fantastic episode.
  • I love the dollar sign on the tach!😂 Egon sure knows his McLaren and general car history...Holy crap! Guy's like an encyclopedia! The car is amazing, and that sound....I feel bad for the kids of the future, who will never experience cars this raw and fun. Thanks to McLaren and Egon for letting us see this work of art, and thanks to Jay and the Crew for another great episode! Hugs for Mavis, too...✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

    At first when I heard the guy got it for Elvis, I was like.. well that’s a shame, but man - this guy knows his stuff and a real car enthusiast! Great video.
  • @GarthGoldberg
    Egon is one of the best interviews ever on this channel.
  • @t16205
    He actually is a good caretaker actually. Actually a very cool car, actually!

    I don't think I've ever seen Jay listen so intently to one of his guests. Egon is a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge, and Jay was soaking it up like a sponge. That aspect was as enjoyable as the car itself. Hats off to the Leno crew for another great video.
  • @bynumjimmy
    Nice to see a true car guy chat with Jay. They've both love cars AND reading about them. It's cool they like Elvis too.
  • @billeaton2651
    Love how Jay and the owner get more enthusiastic as they talk about the car. It looked like Jay was surprised by the vast knowledge of the owner.
  • @StreetPreacherr
    Pretty funny seeing Jay being wrong about nearly everything for once! "Gas tank in front right?" "Nope! 4 tanks, 1 on each corner!". "Right Right! and you switch from side to side?" "Nope, all tanks are connected!". Jay must have been pissed he screwed up, usually he tends to know the specs better than the custodians! lol

    Many thanks to Egon Zweimiller for preserving this piece of automotive history. There is only one original McLaren, and he has it. And the Elvis connection just makes it that much more important and valuable. Looks like Jay was having fun at the airport.
  • @chriscomfort1378
    How many guys can correct Jay " actually ..." I never heard that before.
  • @NYCBluesTRio
    I was lucky enough to get to a few CanAm races during the Bruce and Denny years. The sights, the sounds, the smells. What a show!
  • @MaximusMerideus
    How can you not love this Austrian man. You couldn't ask for a better caretaker of an amazing car. Knowing there's people like this there, makes me want to take a trip to his beautiful country.
