      Actually, he has allowed Dennis Gauge of My Classic Car to come over and drive his cars on for his MCC show though he often starts out in the drivers seat then later allows Dennis to take over driving. One car he has never allowed anyone else to drive is the is his McLaren F1, largely due to insane value these cars hold today (one recent,y sold for $20 million at auction). So it’s not strictly true no one is ever allowed to drive his cars other the him with the exception of certain special/vary rare/unusual cars in his collection.

      @@darrelljourdan3687 In the case of My Classic Car, the producer of that show always prearrange what cars Dennis will get to look at and whether he will be able to drive them. That way he never ask "Can I drive?" and gets a no in response. If he can't drive the car in question then either the owner drives it or they just look at it but he can drive another car instead. rarely does he not drive at least one car unless it a car show episode where he just talks with the owners about their cars and has then show them off. When Dennis acts shocked, that most likely him pretending to be shocked as part of the act so it looks like the whole thing is unplanned. There may not be a script but their is general plan for the segment prearranged. So I'm pretty sure Dennis knew if Jay was Ok with him driving that particular car before the cameras rolled and just fake surprise. It's too risky to leave this sort of thing to chance with this type of show.

    Love it. Craig goes straight after Jay with no Fcks to give. "Can I have this car". Love it. Everyone else is in awe of Jay and kisses up constantly. Craig treats him like one of the boys and then drives Jay's car like he stole it. Pure comic genius. Best thing to tell the ultimate car guy, "I'm into airplanes".

    The Ambassador was based on the Morris Oxford series III model, first made
    by Morris Motors Limited at Cowley Oxford from 1956 to 1959. Despite its British origins,
    the Ambassador was considered a mid-luxury Indian car.

    The Morris Minor 1000 was the luxury version of the Minor... My father-in-law has a Morris Minor 850 - one less chipmunk than the 1000. His example ate its transmission and he got a "new transmission" from a scrap yard, of course, but it was the transmission from a 1000, which didn't quite exactly match up with the 850 motor. We had to make a big hole in the bell housing to allow the flywheel to turn. I remember him getting cigarettes off me as we worked on the car - he told his wife he had quit, so he had to be really careful she couldn't see him. It was seriously childish, as he was in many ways... He also couldn't go home to the city he was born in because some of his old mates thought he'd murdered someone without sufficient reason and got off on a technicality, which they would have remedied with extreme prejudice. Still, I have plenty of good memories of these cars.

      That attitude was formerly applied more commonly in interpersonal and social contexts, and will be again, I hope. The survival of our Republic depends on a moral populace, but leftists, especially since the advent of postmodernist notions about the nature of truth, have relegated honesty to an appearance, a posture designed to deceive people. CRT is one of the outcomes, and given the violence that approach to race relations has spawned, I guess Jay and Craig's observations about honesty in engineering actually applies to social settings as well.
