I once visited a girl I went to camp with who lived in Hammersmith, a couple blocks down from James Mays house(which I was unaware of at the time) and as a prank she literally gave me the address to his house. I showed up at James' door as some stupid Californian with a bigass suitcase who had jet-lag beyond belief and he was just like "I think you've got the wrong address love" as I just stood there said nothing. My friend nearly peed her pants when I told her the story. There's not really a point other than she's an asshole but James May seems like a super cool guy.

Tell us a little about the Bugatti Veron that you drove at over 400km/hr. . The entire video clip is a masterpiece of visual effects, sound, editing etc. The technical difficulty of taking a car over the 400km/hr barrier, from developing engine power, through tyre management to the actual drive process. . I believe this is one of your masterpieces in your own profession.

I had a 86 mini a 71 VW beetle and a 84 and 86 Suzuki jimny. The Suzuki is the most purist machine I ever drove. The simplicity, capability, reliability and is awfull pain to drive by any modern comfort standard. I love it.

James, At any point will you continue your work on the reassembler? If not, is there any hope that you will do other presenter work? I enjoyed the Maccano video and would love to see more.

Hey James…. I was wondering there was ever a thought about doing a "Special" about driving coast to coast in Canada …..roughly 6500km…. could be a Car vs Train …… just a thought...

What series of Top Gear do you think was the best (Series 2 - Series 22)? Keep up the ace work, mate! You are one of my favourite presenters on Top Gear/The Grand Tour. Additional question, what is your opinion on the new Top Gear trio?

James May's mom drives a Suzuki. I wouldn't be surprised if its a Celario automatic. The most simplistic automatic gearbox and system ever made.
@oddities-whatnot4 жыл бұрын
Virality Factor I had two Celerios, although not at the same time. Just needed a cheap car at the tine and they do have a lot of character. Solid little car, extremely reliable, so basic nothing to go wrong. Also has one of THE best manual gearboxes ever, and plenty car reviewers have said this apparently. Try one and see, its a premium shift, it really is !
