I met Jamie Leigh Curtis back 20 years ago when I was working at Santa Monica Ford as a sales manager, several times. She was always nice 😎 She still looks great !!!
Was on business a couple years ago, staying at the Shagri-La in Santa Monica and opened the door for Jamie Lee. She was smiling big, said thanks and smartly got into her....grey Tesla Model S and drove off. :)
Oh man, my 1st car was a '74 Mercury Capri. Mine was a V6 2.8 in bright screaming yellow. It was amazing to see one in Jay's Garage. I can't remember the last time I saw a road worthy example.
@@MrGrumpyjohn01 American Mk1 had the 2.6 and 2.8 cologne V6 (also 2.0 sohc, 1.6 crossflow in early cars) and later US Mk2 had 2300 sohc :lima: and 2.8 V6 --- same size engine like in a Granada Mk1 carb one, or the later 2.8i) .... there were no 3.0 V6 for the US exports.
I guessed this car before he opened the door! I heard the sound of the motor and that beeping horn, as my aunt owned one back in the 1970's. Love Jaime Lee
In my previous company, we had contract with NBC. I had a chance to work in the Jay Leno's office. You would think his office would be huge, but it wasn't. What I found intriguing about his office was not the random hole on one side of the wall, but he had a handful of wall clocks that were insync to the seconds and every so often we would see him ride into the lot with his massive car selection. That bike with a jet motor looked awesome.
That was funny. Jamie not hearing one of the easiest engines of all time , you could forgive her if she had said Porsche, I to learned and past my first test in a beetle, I was so nervous I even pulled away in second gear and the instructor did not notice it was so clean, I only realised when I reached for the shift and found it already in the wrong gear.
@@stizzoforizzo898 actually the flat 4 in a beetle is very smooth. It’s inherently balanced. You can start the vw engine on the ground. And the operation of a beetle or any air cooled vw improper order is very smooth compared to most cars of its day and for decades after.
@@stizzoforizzo898 This is true, it is. Have you driven a well maintained original Beetle? If you haven't, you might be very surprised at how smooth it is in operation, especially compared to other cars of its time.
Jamie Lee and I are the same age. It would be inappropriate to describe my exact feelings for her since the '70s, but I'm am a huge fan of her and and her husband, the brilliant Christopher Guest.
I've been in love with Jamie since Forever Young...she's as beautiful a performed as she is a person. I figured that out when she dressed up in a World of Warcraft costume to hang out with her son...just the coolest mom ever.
OMG! I had a ‘66 Beetle VW! Right after I returned back home from the army (medic), in 1971, I bought it. This beau 6 year old masterpiece. Fond memories
Imagine in Europe you could have this Capri with a 1300 V4 or 1300 ohv with 50-55 HP :D that was slow. US at least had the 2000 sohc which is not slow (101 HP in Europe, 88? in US with catalytic converter ?) or the big V6 but not same power as european versions due to emissions (106, 108 HP , vs 125, 135 HP, later 160 HP in Europe from same engines)
Hello Jamie Lee Curtis and Jay Leno, the advantage to driving really fast in reverse is on display in the movie " The Blob (1958). Alas Ms. Curtis, I remember that your Dad had a very nice Rolls Royce convertible.
yes, they also build them in England for some European countries, Australia and South Africa for left side traffic countries. It was sold as FORD CAPRI in the rest of the world (not "without name" Capri or as a "Mercury") also they had the third generation in Europe (made up to 1986) which was a major facelift of the Mk2. -- and in US the third generation was not available as they introduced the fox Mercury Capri :) Later there was also a Australian made Ford Capri XR2 (convertible based on Mazda platform - front wheel drive)
We were teen girls and my friend's house was situated at the bottom of a steep hill with a curving driveway. She could put her parent's land yacht in reverse and vroom up that hill like nobody's business.
A beetle sounds like a Ford station wagon? She must of been thinking about the Ford wagon Michael Myers drove in Halloween that was always following her.
Well, I knew the Beatle just from the horn but any doubt was removed as soon as it started. In fairness, my hobby was building the dub engines for cars and sand rails. I loved them. The Manx was fun but not something for a guy that liked girls!! As an off-roader the wheelbase was too short too. Cool but nothing I ever owned.

I only see "JLG" on "UA-cam." But, while I love this show in general, I'd love to see more car-crazy actresses on this show. They have to be out there.
Love the JLC and knowing that she's driven a Capri now that makes it even more Uber cool in the UK, when she said she was going to bone him I spat my tea out 💙👍
She reminds me of my late Mother, and physically, of Mom's baby sister. MY first car, a 1956 Plymouth Savoy, 318 and 3 on the tree. $ 100.00! (Two years older than me.) steve
Everyone who likes/loves and respects actors and celebrities should watch this and listen. JLC 'loves, loves, loves' these 3 cars. Can she recognize them? no Does she remember them? not really. These people are emotional, and focus on the moment. If you were friends with them, and shared your time, when you were young? Forgotten.

Jamie Lee Curtis was every boys heart throb. Happy to see she is still as beautiful as ever.

She does look great, a reflection of her inner happiness.
Jamie Lee Curtis was always my favorite.
Talented, funny and cute.

Those Capris were everywhere when I was little. Neat lil' cars.
_"I can back up, very fast. Very fast."_
Yes, True Lies absolutely changed my life, too.
This show is amazing. I've just started getting into it lately, and absolutely love it!

Here in the UK a tidy 2.8 Ford Capri of that vintage. (or actually 3.0 if it was a mark2 ) would be worth a lot more than 4k...

A 1974 Mercury Capri was the first "new" car I ever bought. It was a great little car that I wish I still had.
Her dad Tony Curtis sure acted in a lot of movies that had racing cars.

Yeah, when she said country squire, I thought she was joking!
There's no mistaking that Beetle sound. I think she just decided to pick the most un-Beetle-like thing she could think of.
Thats smooth never came out of anyones mouth referring to a beetle

Jamie Lee Curtis "That's a smooth engine" LMAO
Lovely Lady 😆👍
It’s good to know that Jamie is familiar with the show.
Jamie Lee Curtis had a 300E? That's so cool!
I like both of these guys.
I had a ‘72 Capri same color. Fun car. Thanks for the memories ❤
@3:00 I knew that was a VW bug! I had a '66 6V one that I bought for $200.00 in the '70s. I called it "Von Wreckedoften" because it had been!
Love that Mercury Capri
"That's not a very big car." "That's a car that's smaller" "Was that a Country Squire station wagon?"
I love JLC! So nice to see Jay have her on the show!
I owned a V6 1974 Capri and a ‘76 Capri II,great memories.
Jamie Lee and I are the same age. It would be inappropriate to describe my exact feelings for her since the '70s, but I'm am a huge fan of her and and her husband, the brilliant Christopher Guest.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE JAMIE LEE CURTIS!!!! 😍🤗😁
Ms Curtis is 12 days older than me. I learned how to drive a stick on a 1973 Capri when I was 16.
OMG! I had a ‘66 Beetle VW! Right after I returned back home from the army (medic), in 1971, I bought it. This beau 6 year old masterpiece. Fond memories
My dad had a 1960 Black Beetle with a none synchromesh manual 4 speed floor shifter and trans. Nice little machine.
I'm a big Jamie Lee Curtis fan, but come on who don't know the sound of a beetle.
just like a lawnmower lol
I thought she was kidding when she said that the horn doesn't sound like a big car. And then when it was started up you could tell it was a bug.
A couple of icons !!!!
Great show, people and cars…
Love jays no bs approach with her she is quite feisty lol
i think you mean obnoxious
Wow! Some things (and people) just age SO well!
Some "cars" and people just ago SO well
For '66, the VW Beetle upgraded from 1200 cc to the 1300 cc engine in the U.S. & produced 50 HP (gross). For '67 it was increased to 1500 cc.
Thanks for the video.
Volo Car Museum had her dad's Firebird for sale a few years ago, I hope it shows up in this video!
When I was stationed at LRAFB I would stretch VW frames to fit dune buggy bodies. The officers there had a passion for them at that time.
JLC: " I completely boned you." JL: "We can talk about what we're doing later, but yea."
Awesome response, bet Jay wouldn’t be turning down the bone!
My wife when we were dating and for several years after we were married had a '73 Mercury Capri.
Had some fun in that car?
Friend of mine had a 74 Capri I drove on several ocassions in College. It looked sporty, but was woefully underpowered.
Imagine in Europe you could have this Capri with a 1300 V4 or 1300 ohv with 50-55 HP :D that was slow.

Such fun !! Love it !!

Stupid question, but where is the rest of this video? Thanks. I'm new to this show.
this show is made like in the old days when i still had a tv, back in 19....
People forget what a Fox JLC was back in those days...She was "Perfect" in "Trading Places"
Cool Show , many greetings from Germany 😊👍
Wish Jay did a video on big rigs
Jamie I love you so much! ❤️
OMG She’s even cooler now that I know her first car was a Capri! Because that’s a cool car!
Hello Jamie Lee Curtis and Jay Leno, the advantage to driving really fast in reverse is on display in the movie " The Blob (1958). Alas Ms. Curtis, I remember that your Dad had a very nice Rolls Royce convertible.
They should have a backup race to see which car is faster. The corvette can go around 50mph in reverse.
VW Beetle engine always sounds like there is a loose washer rattling, can't mistake it.
I thought after the "Older Folks" crack Jamie was going to smack Jay! Great episode!
Those first generation Capris were built in Cologne, Germany, by Ford of Europe.
yes, they also build them in England for some European countries, Australia and South Africa for left side traffic countries.

OK, so what happened to the second part of the JLC episode?
The red box around the thumbnail makes it look like the video has already been viewed on UA-cam mobile apps
I just want to be the dude sitting in the chair during the True Lies scene.
Get in, sit down, shut up, and hang on!
There's no way this beetle came with a 1600cc engine. I think 1300cc was the max even available at the time.
I had a 68 Beetle in German red, with cal-type windows.
Oh no! I wanted to see more on the new Manx!! I live in UK and we dont get this show
On UA-cam too. Only about 10min tho
Jamie looks great. No ridiculously inappropriate surgery/fillers. Seems like a fun lady.
Leno, Dunham and Allen. It's the comedy rejects tour!
It's lovely to see an actor with a human face that reflects her age, rather than a mask.
JLC’s rack has only been surpassed by Haley Berry, which is high praise
Dave Justice bought that "rack" for Haley Berry.

Where's the rest of the show

mainstream media is now behind your show Jay and lining up the guests THEY want. Not in a mill years would you otherwise do an episode with her
Probably true man but they are friends in real life. She wrote a book a decade ago called “my friend Jay.”
@@JosephHerrera she wrote an entire book about a friend? wow, must be really tight

Good show concept...needs...
R U Kidding me ... no 1977 Monte Carlo !!!
Del Trotter had a green Capri, in Only Fools and Horses.
Someone goofed on the horsepower rating for the 1972 Capri 2000. It was rated at 86 net horsepower, not 66(as in the video).
I can back up like sonny did on a Bronx Tale.
Jesus she’s hard work man!
the dune buggy should always be a VW aircooled engine
Its on tv now?
As soon as it started i knew it was a beetle. Nohing else sounds like it.
Hopsin Missouri. Miss
Never thought I see the day jay would be pushing electric cars 😢😕
You're not a car person if you can't identify a VW beetle.
