That's right, the Auto Paparazzi has struck again!

As you were passing, were you able to shout the question,
"Is your engine tray on or off?"

LOL!
If you're a Leno fan, he often used to be at The Rock Store off Mullholland on weekend mornings. You'd need something fairly quirky to get his attention, though. I'd love to see that Stanley Steamer, but I don't think he takes it that far afield...

Great photos, btw... you couldn't get him to look over and smile or flip you off?
Steve - I'm sure if I were in my car (TT) he would have least givin me a nod. The funny thing is that I had my Ruf wheels/tires in my little BMW taking them to be repainted. One of the wheels was in the passenger front seat and I had to shoot around it to capture the close up shot. If he looked over at me, he would have seen the top 20% of a Ruf wheel and tire through the window. I was going to yell something stupid to Jerry like "hey look at the wheels inside my car, they go on a Porsche", but I figured I would leave well enough alone .

Small world, Leno stores his cars in the building next door to my company. I see him driving something different everyday.

Would you have taken the photo if it was "just" a blue 993 with no celeb?

When I lived in SoCal, we saw him in any number of Porsche's from time to time... Never the same one twice, actually... a nice problem to have...

Anyway, a couple of years ago, we went to see his stand-up show... At the end of the show, he was taking some questions from the audience...

Someone shouted... "Hey, which is your favorite Porsche?" to which he replied (as only he can)... "Well, I think they're all pretty great."

It's not the total amount of time (or miles), it's how much "Quality" time (or miles).

(I learned that from someone from California on a talk show.)

Proud owner of a coupe with 20,000 Quality miles, and I won't even tell you how many miles are on the Garage Queen.

Jerry's probably reading this thread and thinking, "WTF is that comment about me picking my nose? I'm not picking my nose in that photo!"

Thank heaven I'm not a celebrity.. The embarassing photos would fill a hard drive....

Funny thing is that he is driving this one of a kind, last of a breed gem as his daily driver in the middle of traffic and he actually looks bored driving it.

Most of us would have this thing parked inside an air bubble and day dreaming of driving it.
