E36 LTW with less than 100 miles!?!?!? Did I hear that correctly? Wow.

[Efthreeoh]

So my only comment is that the guy said at the beginning "a collection that Jay Leno or Ralph Loren would be jealous of." Well sorry, but NOT. Leno has way better cars than that collection and so does Loren.

No need to exaggerate.

I think the point they were trying to make is that unlike many celebrities, Paul Walker didn't blow millions of cash on Bugattis or the latest Rolls-Royce and Bentley to stunt on a fancy street in Beverly Hills. He was into some pretty awesome cars that mainstream society wouldn't even bother to do a double take at on a public street (i.e., 370Z or E36 M3 LTW), cars that you and I would appreciate, cars that don't scream out "i'm on a different level than you" but rather "I really love and appreciate cars & the history/heritage of them".
Of course, the collection is not limited to the cars at AE. For example, PW also ran his own E92 M3 at a Redline Time Attack series once upon a time.
And yes, some of the cars from the vid belong to his partner, Roger.

RIP to two great guys.

A very impressive car collection. I like how there is an appreciation for euro, american and jap cars. A true car enthusiast.

RIP to both owners. Paul will be sorely missed.

Reading way too much into it.

So, Jay Leno, who employs a shop full of retired Lockheed machinists to rebuild and keep running cars that are rarer than Jesus poop (no offense meant to anyone) and significant to the worlds auto industry is not an enthusiast because he owns a McLaren and shows at Pebble Beach, but Paul Walker (RIP) has an E36 lightweight, an E30 M3, and a bunch of old Roush mustangs is an enthusiast...

[Tony135]

I've been lucky enough to see the collection in person multiple times since we worked with AE. Absolutely amazing.

Nowhere did i discount Jay Leno's love of cars but take it however you want...

Again, what are you talking about and why are you reading so much into this?

Going around and looking at the collection, great video.

But started it out with something off the cuff that is a silly statement lacking any facts that kind of diminishes credibility for the person doing the walk around.

That has nothing to do with Walker or the quality of the cars.

What I wouldn't give for being so rich I could not only have a room like that, but stacked 3-high with cars all through it. I actually wonder how he gets cars out of there.

They are all lifts with an electric winch. About $2000 each. I haven't seen them much around here but a lot of enthusiasts that have lightweight summer cars (think Lotus Exige) have them in their garages.

[E90XINick]

Such a sad time. So many nice cars.

[e92livin]

The foxbody saleen is my favourite stang, and who knew he was such a bmw head.. he has like 5 M3s and the 850ci was mint doubt there is a cleaner one around.

[infinitigor]

surprised there was no e39 m5 there, that's def worth having. nonetheless remarkable collection of cars, RIP

[sensi09]

Cool collection.

I didn't know he was such a big saleen mustang fan.

[bmwm3redblack]

RIP Paul Walker

True. One also has to note that Jay Leno and Paul Walker were definitely into different kinds of cars also. As far as I have seen Leno has absolutely zero BMW and almost no Japanese cars and none of the cars in his collection seem to be track oriented.

He has at the very least, I think an Isetta and has weird JDM stuff like a Mazda Cosmo which was an early rotary car. His collection is all over the place. He has more track oriented cars too, the CGT McLaren F1 etc.

Amazing collection, Paul Walker and his car collection are legendary
