[Vwdiesel] Jay Leno did a pro-diesel/VW diesel article!

[Gary, Orlando]

Hi all,
Jay Leno is actually a car nut! He collects them. He has like a
bazillion of them in a warehouse/museum or the like. One of the TNN
shows(Your Classic Car?) did a side bar on him and his Stanley Steamer.
They also did a walk through his 'museum' and he has quite the range of
years and models.
