OT: Jay Leno's Garage - Ford Shogun

[Thomas Rogers]

For those who haven't seen this....not bad for a Festiva:

 

[Alan Peters]

I've seen one of these. It may have been Leno's at a car show a couple of years ago.

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Can we say Adrenalin rush? And, they kept it pretty much all Ford, except that the Ford SHO engine is built by Suzuki.

I'm pretty sure it was built by Yamaha.... Either way it is a pretty kick butt motor. Saw one at the local junkyard a few years back. They had cut it out of a SHO that had 32k on the odometer. The motor was sitting on a couple of wood blocks, and they wanted 5k for it...

Doh.. Guess it took me to long to typ in my message... Soemone beat me to it lol.

Reminds me of the Viper powered PT Cruiser I saw at SEMA in 2001:

Was neat to see in person and sounded great when they fired it up.

 

[Dreman]

That's just great. You idiots have found ANOTHER video website that I just HAVE to go through! What's wrong with y'all, anyway? Don't you know that I have a life away from this computer?



With that said, the Shogun looks like something I tried to design back when I was in high school. I always wanted a mid-engine car that looked like nothing and was quicker than anything, but the available equipment at the time was either too expensive or too wimpy.



Now I have to go check out that bus...

 

[Richard Kolb]

Nice, but what I want to see is a RWD escape with some sort of v8 under the hood, real 4wd and a bronco nameplate somewhere on it.

 

[James FreemanJr]

I love the fact that he drives all his cars and just doesn't let them sit in a show room like most collectors, he isn't afraid to take it out on the street where cars are suppose to be and run the ******.

 

[Thomas Rogers]

Yup, Ions, Jay is a class act. Unlike some folks.

why leave something so nice in a show room. you get more attention riding it around. being behind the wheel of some of those rides is the biggest rush anyway. not watching people Uh and Ah about it.

 

[Johnny O]

If I had Jay Leno's money, I'd drive all that stuff too.:lol:

I particularly like how he actually drives a Stanley Steamer.
