James May being James May for 14 minutes and 47 seconds straight (read pinned comment)

[@BlackKat15]

I am aware that the music is annoying, it was put there to try and avoid copyright. I fixed this problem in the sequel to this video.

[@donjezza10]

Honestly, I don't think you could have picked a more fitting soundtrack for James May. It fits him perfectly. Somewhat bland, slow, slightly elegant, but somehow never gets boring.

James is the funniest presenter and his laugh is contagious as fuck.

[@static-san]

So funny when James gets the giggles because he struggles so much to stop. Which always amuses Clarkson. Buy I don't think we got nearly enough of his dry humour which he can deadpan so well and usually made the other two break. Also I was really impressed how well James and Gordon Ramsey got on!

[@ramen2192]

That James May and Ramsey crossover clip makes me think of a Kitchen Nightmares or Hotel Hell crossover episode. Just imagine for a special, gordon is joined by the top gear trio in visiting a terrible hotel or restaurant, where the former top gear crew have to eventually help fix up and repair the place whilst Ramsey deals with the owners. One could only imagine the chaos and humor from that.
