JK and his cars
Hi Jamirotalkers,
Just posting some things I found with Jay'scars
"The first thing I bought with my first royalty cheque, which was for £5000, was a car. It was a BMW 1602. It cost me a grand 11 years ago, which was quite a lot," he says. "In fact I loved it so much that I just bought it back from my band's didgeridoo player (Wallace Buchanan)."
Jay's life can never be called dull. About the same time as he regained his BMW, he was reunited with his estranged Portuguese father, spilt from Denise Van Outen after a very public relationship, crashed his Lamborghini and sank one of his Mercedes 4x4s in the lake at his Buckinghamshire estate - a la Tom Cruise in Risky Business.
"Soooo rock and roll, don't you think?" laughs Jay, who would be horrified to be thought of as a dim rocker with no more a grip on performance driving than a knowledge of Prokofiev. "You can't drive cars like this for 10 years and be a crap driver. The Enzo is not for idiots. It is a very wide car and on country lanes at night it is heart-in-the-mouth stuff."
Jay's genuine knowledge of cars has earned him some respect from motoring cognoscenti. "I have a book at home with all the chassis numbers of cars in. It's a cross between a train spotters' notebook and The Times Atlas. I read it in bed at night," he says.
Jay's cars all have a theme: classic design. The art of a car is as much a lure as its performance. In his mind they should look as good hanging on a wall as sitting in the garage. "I have bought a lot of my cars because of the designers. You know, Ferrari, Pininfarina, Ghia, Bertone," he says "There's the old adage that if it looks right it will go right."
Jay Kay (Jamiroquaï)

Their line makes me think of the body women. Lastly, almost! "
Exclusive:
"It is not completely similar nevertheless? "
Jay Kay:
"Not, though Ferrari really resemble to the women. "
Exclusive:
"are Ferrari cars which you know well, you which have two of them? "
Jay Kay:
"One of these Ferrari names Cosmic Girl and you have to see it in one of my clips"
Exclusive:
"Indeed, you led it in the clip of the same name.
You like speed? "
Jay Kay:
"Yes enormously, in this video, I led to 275 kilometers per hour..."
Exclusive:
"Which is the limitation in Great Britain? "
Jay Kay:
"One cannot exceed the 110km per hour"
Exclusive:
"does the purchase of this house mean change of way of life? In other words, you will calm yourself? "
Jay Kay:
"Yes, serious! I spent ten years of my life in round and it arrives one moment when it is necessary to pose its bags some share. It is necessary to find a place with oneself where one smells oneself well. Here I have my studio and my house. It is for that that I feel "synchronized", it is besides the title of my last album. I finally found my house spiritual. I will live here for the remainder of my life."

Here is an info about the insurance costs for Jay's cars:
In Q magazine June 2005 he says: " My insurance bill is fucking vicious. To be frank with you, it's 20,000 English pounds a year for the Enzo (Ferrari) alone. Six figures all in? No, but it's a lot of money, about 35 grand."
