I had a similar experience with Jay at a C & C one Sunday morning at Paradise Cove, near L.A. I was looking at a Bentley hot rod, done in the '50's California style, of all things.
As I was pondering how the Bentley Owner's Club might react to such a car, I remember looking at the huge Bentley brake drum that appeared to have a disc brake hidden inside. Behind me I heard the unmistakable voice, "Hi, I'm Jay. Can't figure out the brakes, huh?" This led to a 20-minute walk around, opening all the doors, hood (massive twin turbo Bentley straight 8), trunk, tool kit, etc.
We talked at great length about the engineering & fabrication that went into the car.
What a fun experience to spend a few minutes with such an interesting guy.
