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.
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...
