You must be new to CZcams.
Blackson Michael youtube pays channel owners for views - not thumbs up and down. So youtube has a system that verifies number of views to prevent scammers from ripping off the youtube's ad revenues
*An* Oscar...blerbity blub blub derp. *An* Oscar.
Blackson Michael
301 is just the default views it goes to before it can work out the actual ammount.
for a while they had it fixed it said 301+ views but for some reason it went back to 301 views rather than 301+
Jay makes a lot of good videos, but here he flexed and made an honest-to-God documentary. A hidden gem of CZcams.
You have to admire the work the camera men went through to produce this. Hats off to you guys, that was amazing work.
when you think about the period the mille miglia ran through (1927-1957) and the cars that these people drove... you can only say men were men. people were expected to die during every race and in every race there were fatalities. the roads were mostly dirt even in the 50's and a lot of the cars prior to the first world war had more than 400 hp. in the 30's gp cars had up to 600 hp. the drivers who drove this race were legends in their own right and it truly was a golden age of racing. in 1931 tazio nuvolari would win the mille miglia driving an alfa romeo 6c, coming from second place in pitch black darkness on dirt roads and no amenities to make driving easier at all (keep in mind he was also a tiny person and had to drift the cars around corners because he couldn't turn the steering wheel if he slowed down) he switches off his lights in the middle of the night to surprise the car in front, which also happens to be his team mate, using nothing but the one rear light on the other car as a guide. he catches him up, and in the last second completely baffles his opponent when he switches on his lights and takes the lead to win the race. if that isn't legendary, then i don't know what is...
Couldn't have said it better. Such a great race.
I´ll be out on the side of the road Thursday morning near my house just outside Rimini to cheer the cars & drivers through. A bonus this year is that the Mille Miglia passes through in the morning and then the Giro d´Italia cycle race sweeps by in the afternoon. Magnificent !
At 71 years old, I'm not supposed to lie here watching a video on CZcams with tears in my eyes. This was so exciting and nostalgic and couldn't happen to a nicer custodian of automotive history. Truly a "Bucket List" event for Jay. Thanks so much for sharing it with us all!
I am so glad that Jay is doing something he loves and sharing it with car lovers like myself. These are great shows amazing old footage and racing history! Great to see Stirling Moss alive and well.
RIP Mr. Motor Racing
I just wish this was a long hour and a half documentary. I'd watch all of it multiple times. Amazing stuff.
love that quote from Brian, "why do anything if it's not loads of fun? just not worth it!" great stuff
Chris Harris' video of his journey on the Mille Miglia was just as magical. There's something about this event that's just so special.
That sequence from 16:40 onwards of Brundle in the D-Type is so unerringly beautiful.
The videos you've been doing lately have been great. Thanks for taking us along for the ride Jay!
Who could possibly dislike this video?! They had stifling moss talking about his beloved sport like a giddy kid on Christmas for christ's sake! What more could you want?
This is my second time watching this video and I never get tired of it. Luck Italians, all that beautiful machinery and wonderful sounds cruising through their country.
This was one of the best Jay Leno's Garage episodes EVER!!! Loved the sights and the sounds
Brian Johnson has got to be the most down to earth superstar. Seems like a very kind hearted person.
How come all these old cars look so much better than their modern counterparts ???? It's like we've lost the ability to design beautiful cars. These cars are sexy !!!!!
You can thank safety regulations for that.
RandomSTUFFzors Maybe, but I'm not too sure. AlfaRomeo can still design a nice car. Nothing like the old cars, but still a damned sight nicer than its modern contemporaries.
You are wrong. These cars look great for their time but modern cars look even better. Every age has its own greats.
Thats exactly what i think all the time when i see new supercars ! old etypes , old xk etc . Its all for safety i guess
Suraj John I think it's because they're all using the same bloody computer programme !!!!
Wow... what a great film!
Thanks Jay!
Maybe we are not the best country in the world but u gotta love the "italian way"!
Viva italia
We are THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD❤
@@claudioschumi87 Everybody's country is the Greatest Country in the World. Nowhere is better than anywhere else. Nessun posto como la patria!
Over the years I've watch many documentaries and videos on the Mille Miglia, but I have to say this is without doubt the best. Jay, from those of us who will never experience anything like this I'd just like to thank you because you have a gift, a way of bring the cars and the places to life.
October 2003 J. All I can say is you are the best of the best. What you have done for the hobby is beyond most people's comprehension. Kudos to you may you live long and prosper. God bless you and your lovely wife.
Jay, thank you so much for sharing such an AMAZING experience with us. What a dream come true it would be to take part in the Mille Miglia. The sights, sounds, smells and feelings of that journey must have been out of this world! Again, thank you sir.
My goodness! Could 27 people, (with badly broken thumbs), all have been drunk? Sad. I'm very grateful to have seen this, thank you for sharing this with us. Could there be a cooler rocker than Brian Johnson? I don't think so. 'Écurie Écosse' + AC/DC's last Scottish singer-for more than 30 years-totally awesome, (Bon was a Scottish lad, too)...+ a great narrative by Señor JāLenō. 🙏 Thanks!
I don't know of any videos that get as universally 'liked' as much as Jays!!
What an amazing adventure for ANYONE!! Great job Jay keeping the commentary real for us little guys! You are the best thing to happen to the car culture since Stirling Moss!
What an amazing life Jay has had, truly one of my hero's...
At 16:11 beauty unfolds. The score, Jays narration, the view from above as, white hair a blaze and nestled in his car while through sunlit vistas of history he motors down the road, is for me, beauty to behold. Loved it. Wonderful piece.
The fact that Sir Stirling Moss did this route back in 1955 in a Mercedes 300 SLR with narrow tires on unfamiliar public roads which were largely still poc-marked by WW2 allied bomb holes, sitting next to your driver who couldn't hear you(no radio)... RACING ( not riding along with ) other cars driven by locals who knew the route.... and you averaged 97.9mph over 1,000 miles and completed the entire course ( which now takes 4 days ) in 10 hours, 7 mins and 48 seconds... its a complete mindfuck of driving ability. Easily the greatest single driving feat by any racer...especially when you consider that because he didn't know the route, he was forced to carry extra weight ...Denis Jenkinson, his 'navigator'...his competitors, such as Fangio (2nd) and Kling (3rd) all drove alone. Not only did Moss drive the best drive in history, he also invented pace-notes.
These videos keep getting better. They should really be picked up by a tv channel. Thanks for making it!
Jay truly inspires many people in the automotive world. I love him and he's a really humble person. Long live Jay.
Very nice report about the Mille Miglia! I drove my Ghia to follow the Mille. 2500 miles in 7 days… And every mile is worth it!
Great video! Good to see Sir Stirling Craufurd Moss, OBE talking about his exploits in such a laid-back manner. His was an outstanding feat, one that can never be beaten. One of my childhood heroes, still with us. Sadly my other heroes perished, Jim Clark, Mike Hawthorn, Donald Campbell.
I love pushing cars to their limit. Taking turns as fast as possible. When you feel the tires losing their grip and you push just a little more. It's definitely addictive
What an experience! We need more events like these used to be. Utmost respect for the pioneers pushing the boundaries.
I have been reading or watching things about this race most of my life. It is definitely on my bucket list but sadly after a bout with cancer and a heart attack I am limited to watching people like Jay Leno get to do it and while 10 years ago I could have easily done 15 hours behind the wheel It would be a bit of a stretch for me. For now, I will have to satisfy myself with runs up and down the California and Oregon coasts in my 1974 Alfa Romeo Spider. For me, Life doesn't get much better. Thanks for this one Jay!
Too many people think that cars are just transportation, an appliance. An automobile can be a work of art, a joy to drive, with no real destination other than to enjoy the countryside and the car. People like Jay and Magnus Walker understand this. I wish more people did.
In '66 I got out of high school and during the summer found a 1954 XK120 in a used car lot for 1200 dollars. Got me hooked on cars as well. Low miles, white-red leather with steel wheels and rear fender skirts. Man said it was owned by Augie Papst. Original books and tool kit, terrible heater and had a plaque on the dash stating it to be a replica of the car that hit 137MPH in Belgium. All the canvas was original and it had that smell. I kept that and wound up with a few more...worked my butt off until I was drafted. College? Nope..cars. While I was gone my mother sold the works. I came home and my cars were gone. Never could replace any of them, life just took over. I'm 65 now and everytime I see one I almost cry.1200 dollars.
Without doubt the best Jay Leno motor journalism he has ever done! utterly FANTASTIC! well done Jay!
What a beautiful country. Jealous of you Italians.
Italy is a lovely country.
@ArianOriginal21 and nice chocolate, nice watches ....and nice sea!! :D
This is what makes life worth while and your children. Wonderful to see that Jay Leno drove the course in a $3M jag. I love Italy and just got a great idea for next summer. Not the race but to just drive the course, that way I can eat ... .
What a stunning looking car :D
Scratch it, sniff it!
Brian Johnson is such a delight!
What a great episode! So awesome we can receive this great of content without a cable subscription.
This was amazing. The cinematography, the music, the pacing. Loved every second.
I don't know who Jay put on producing, editing, or directing this- but it is outstanding! Far above the usual quality of JLG. Enjoyed it immensely.
Driven through entire Tuscany last summer. Outstanding scenery, beautiful weather and fantastic roads. I highly recommend it to anyone - amazing experience.
Mille Miglia .....This is a wonderful experience through the wonderful Italy !!
This show keeps getting better and better : Period footage, Stirling moss commentary, the most prestigious antique car event.. So well done. Thank you Mr Leno!
The best thing to come from Jay Leno's retirement. More and better quality car videos.
I guess you're enjoying your time off ! I am glad we can be a part of your great hobby. Thanks for all the effort. I've travelled to Italy and visited all the museums. But to see the the people there enjoying the Mille Miglia... that's something else!
Thank you for posting this Jay. I wanted to burst out into tears of childlike excitement watching these beautiful cars being driven as they were designed to be driven.
I have been a lifelong lover of driving. I love long distance drives and consider a 100 mile drive on a winter logging road good therapy. I have a Fusion Sport with all wheel drive and twin turbos, and a new Ranger 4wd. Watching this has made me wish for my 1971 VW Super Beetle Convertible to enter into this rally. I could spend a year in Italy and not get all of the things Italian I want to do done.
Best episode of Jay's Garage by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved every minute. Great sounds, great pictures and great story telling.
It doesn't happen so often that you can really tell that Jay was excited. So in some ways this episode was probably the most honest one.
I remember Stirling Moss/Dennis Jenkinson winning the race in 1955. I still have DJ’s report on the race in Motor Sport magazine today.
The Romantism around vintage race cars reflects when life was simpler, and having such a race in a emotional/ passionate environment, makes this event so sweet to the heart of car enthusiasts. And Have I mentioned the scenery!
Brian Johnson signing autographs at the starting line. Gotta love that guy.
What an adventure! What an experience! What a retirement! Congrats Jay!
I am from the province of Brescia, as kids we alway waited for the race to go and see the cars. It was always so exciting.
I grew up with Sterling Marlin and his Mother loved Sterling Moss so it was nice now that Steadman Marlin named his son Sterling ! What a driver and what a pair of Legacies !
While Jay was clearly referring to car racing on public roads, I would point out that The motorcycle Irish Road Racing Series,and the Isle of Man in particular,is still conducted on public roads and offers the greatest spectacle in racing to be seen anywhere.
Leño loves cars so much he gets more cars to Love, more experiences, never ending expanding car love.... I really appreciate him for this, an example of how to enjoy your passion in life, and how loving your reality, your reality will love you back.
"danger is addictive" sir Stirling Moss :D
Only just found this video but really enjoyed it. Some great clips of the original races and always wonderful to hear Sir Stirling. Jay as amiable as ever and this gives a glimpse of what it feels like to compete in the event. Let’s hope it continues for many years to come
Words can not express my appreciation for this video except to say "Thank you". It was a real pleasure to be taken along on such a great journey.
The more of these video's I watch the more I like Jay, I'm so great full that Jay takes the time to make these video's for us.
Thanks Jay, and all the guys involved.
Fantastic, don't go back to work Jay, just show us more of the world of fine motoring!
Thanks for the ride, Jay! Always a pleasure!
My favorite JLG video! Wonderful to see those beautiful cars, and hear what engines used to sound like. Thank you Jay!
That was put together very well. Congrats and thanks Jay!
Thank you! It wonderful seeing it from your prespective. the film conveys the thrill the exhaustion and the joy of this timeless event.
I use to work for Ian, both in Italy (Ghia) and in England. In fact when Ian left Ford in 1990 he asked me to drive him to Oxford where I literally dropped him at Tom Walkinshaw's door. That's when he started working with Aston Martin. Oddly I met Jay the next year - Janett Lee and I were the first auto industry people to get involved with Leno. Another odd thing, my little brother now owns the first C-type to run Mille Miglia.
How wonderful that Jay brings us into the story as if we are in the vehicle. Thank you, Jay, from the bottom of our hearts!
Thanks for bring back the memories of me driving a 1957 VW in Germany in 64,65 and 66. It's top speed was 55 mph. Great video.
Jay, thanks so much for sharing the Mille Miglia, theres only one person who loves Jags more than me...that would be you!
the best Jay Leno's Garage ever!!! -an I've seen most of them!
There´s no words to say how good this was, i was almost crying of joy wathing this, Thanks Jay
Mr. Leno, thank you for sharing your machines, knowledge, and experiences with us. You are very generous and we immensely enjoy your videos.
Couple of mistaments of fact. 1) Sterling actually averaged 97.9 mph, not "over 100 mph".2) The 300 SLRs top speed at red line (7,500 rpm) was 170--no where near the 200 mph figure Jay mentioned. 3) They did stop several times for fuel and once for fresh tires....and a pee. The fact that their average speed included these stops makes the achievement that much more amazing.
Just once for a pee! Now THAT'S amazing! Lol On second thought, that's probably why they drove so fast! Lol
Yeah, so he averaged over 100 miles per hour whilst not peeing or changing tyres.
He's not writing a book on the subject, he's telling a story, I think it's OK to round the figures up.
The sound of that old jag is amazing!
that is way all cars should sound, glad you included a lot real jag sounds,,,it is music to the ear.
Thanks Jay! It sure seems like you're finding your stride after leaving the Tonight Show. I love to see your irrepressible humor and love of cars combined.
Never knew a race like this existed until now, thanks Professor Leno.
R.I.P. Sir Stirling Moss (1929-2020) "He defined his era of racing as much as it defined him and that time was a very special and formative one. Moss is a name that is woven indelibly into the sport’s very fabric. We will not see his like again." (Mark Hughes wring in Motor Sport Magazine.
Thanks so much...I felt like I was in my XK140 again! It would bump a rattle a bit till you got past 95MPH and then she would settle down and cruise (actually felt like the whole car lowered about an inch). Seemed happiest purring at around 110MPH for hours.
For anyone who has a passion for wind in their hair driving listen to Martin Brundle from 16.43. Absolutely mesmerizing. His words for me more or less put me in the driving seat of that wonderful D type. Harks back to the days when Britain was truly Great ! Helped in part by Jaguar naturally ! What a car ! What else could you want ?
What a trip. I can only wish that I had the ability to afford such an experience. Thank you Jay !
Redefining Hero and assisted by his foot is Jay in a gale of appreciation...
Wow....... This was absolutely beautiful. The cars, the country, the history, the camera work. Thanks for sharing Jay, I would never be able to go see anything like this. Just gorgeous .........
thanks to everyone who made this video. it is such a beautiful upload.
This has to be the best Jay Leno's Garage video I have seen!
Good to see Brian Johnson from Acca Dacca.
Yeah, liked his appearances on Top Gear as well.
JayLenosGarage is seriously better than anything on TV.
Great video, I could not get over the sound that the car made...worth the price of admission...great job.
Thanks
Easily the best video you and your crew have ever done, and that is really saying a lot.
Found myself driving in front of an XK120 in Epping, Essex, just yesterday. Creamy white, open top, correct period number plate (license plate), utterly beautiful. Funny thing, the roadster and I passed by a 1964 Routemaster bus, on heritage tourist duty. If only I could use my camera, would have been the coolest "retro" camphone shot ever!
Spent the weekend in Bologna specifically to see this event. Was incredible to see such great cars in such a beautiful setting. Got up at the crack of dawn to see the drivers depart on the final leg back to Brescia. Sadly no sign of Jay, he must have left veeery early! Great video, best I've seen.
What fun! Jay is living the American dream, driving a British car, in Italy. How cool is that.. Really liked the Sterling Moss clips as well.
What a tremendous experience and an outstanding, beautifully crafted "movie"! This is Discovery calibre media!
It's just joyous to see Jay engaged in his great passion at this level and there is none more worthy than one of the all-time greatest guardians of automotive heritage! Thanks for sharing the trip!!!
Jay's stuff here just keeps getting better and better. NBC's loss is the auto enthusiast's gain. Bravo!
Mr. Leno, you continue to impress me in your day to day talent and not just on screen but behind the screen. So cheers Jay for more happy, cheerful, and awesome health w/ smile to come.

I love at 11:20 when Brian says, "now there's music!"
This show just gets better and better.
best Jay Leno video so far!!
That was a wonderful treat. Thanks, Jay! :-D
I keep coming back to this video to hear the lovely classic sounds produced by those Jag's...have to admit i've been a fan of them, but boy they sound nice
