    ABOUT JAY LENO'S GARAGE ON CNBC
    Hosted by legendary comedian and “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno, the series explores our obsession with all things automotive. From classic cars to supercars and everything in-between, Jay is hitting the road to discover the most exciting, weird and wonderful vehicles ever made and meet the passionate people behind their wheels. Each one-hour themed episode features a mix of stunts, challenges, reviews, and celebrity interviews that showcases the colorful history of the automobile. Whether he’s exploring the story of an iconic brand, road-testing the newest super car, or investigating the latest automotive innovations, there is no wheel Jay won’t get behind to tell the story of our love affair with the car.
    About Jay Leno: Acclaimed TV late night show host, admired stand-up comedian, best-selling children’s book author, much-in-demand corporate speaker, lovable TV and movie voice-over artist, pioneering car builder and mechanic, and philanthropist…it’s no wonder that Jay Leno is widely characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.”

    You never saw what this machine could do until you saw it in full flight on the back roads of Kenya way back during the good old days of the Safari Rally. You knew it was approaching from the unique configuration of lights leading the thick plume of dust in the distance... Still get goosebumps, those are some special childhood memories.

    HF means high fidelity, and was a Lancia owners club or program that reward the most loyal customers with a lots of things like reserved invitation at the new car's presentations all offered by lancia and a series of premium services. You can enter in that club buying at least 6 new cars for yourself or your family, and inside there was a sort of division in tier, with the top tear (which gave the right to the golden hi-fi Lancia badge) at 50 cars. The club was born in the 1960 at the Geneva motor show, and was founded for the purpose of: "Lancia Hi-Fi ideally brings together all motorists who have demonstrated a particular loyalty to Lancia over time. Its purpose is to
    strengthen the bonds of sympathy and cordiality between members and Lancia".

    Thats fantastic. John Campion's hero was Cork's famous rally driver Billy Coleman. Billy famously campaigned a private Stratos (owned by Graham Warner - Chequered Flag) in the UK during the late '70s. The car had been crashed and rebuilt so many times - without any support from Lancia - and still remained competitive, a testament to the strength of that chassis.
    RIP John.

    Back in 1979 as a UMass Amherst student I traded in my FIAT Bravo to a new Lancia Beta Coupe at Foreign Auto in Boston. I joined the Lancia club had seen few Stratos! I showed my Lancia Beta Coupe to my professor who paid me dearly for me to afford a brand new Lancia and he liked all the so many gauges. Six months later a drunk driver ran the red light and smashed into my Lancia Beta totaling it. I used my insurance money bought a Alfa Sprint Veloce (still have it) I love the performance of a Lancia Beta Coupe and miss it a lot!
