James May roasts Richard Hammond's new workshop!

It was inevitable that one day James would venture to Hereford to check out The Smallest Cog, Richard Hammond's new classic car restoration workshop. And of course, he immediately set about roasting every aspect of Hammond's pride and joy.

Thanks to discovery+ for sponsoring this video!

They call James boring but I must admit, he is everything I aim to be in life. Intelligent, well traveled, courteous, patient. If I had a fraction of his knowledge and skillset I just might make something of myself.

“They collapsed didn’t they” -James’s confidence in Hammonds business

We need a series of James May walking through people’s houses pointing at old pieces with sentimental value saying “is it worth saving?”

"This takes up valuable space that could be occupied by a car that no one is working on."
Is the best and most genuine James May roast in this vid. Hilarious and perfect delivery.

What I love about James is that he thinks about things like is the dog allowed out or is this room dust free.

I find it funny that James is the one that’s stayed the most similar to his younger top gear self. Jeremy turned into a farmer, and Richard started a car restoration “business”

This should absolutely be a thing!
James going places, checking them out and giving his opinion 😂 I'd watch that

The banter between these 3 is representative of every great friendship any of us have ever had. Far from unique but equally special and to see it evolving on tv for years is a rarity.

It's nice how it says "roasts" but James is just complimenting it for most of it. It's kinda wholesome, since that mix of compliments and roasting is how pretty much all English mates compliment each other.

I love the trio in their own ways, but James, man, he's special. My favorite presenter and will always be.

"up to 30% of what he paid for it"

Absolutely savage.

[jonetshkin]

I used to think James as a boring old man, now that I'm older I think he is the funniest of the trio. His humor is just on different level.

That genesis joke is a deep cut... For the people who have been watching these 3 for decades

I’m currently in my second year training as a mechanic and James May instilled a love of all things mechanical and motoring in me from a young age. I remember getting his Toy Story dvd set and watching him on top gear. I love all three of them but James is in simple terms a genius. I would probably bore him with the questions I would ask but the knowledge that man has and the way he holds himself is something I have always respected about him. Great bloke I really can’t wait to see what he does next, hopefully a few videos where he just talks about his hobbies or tools.

James May has made 10's of millions and hasn't changed a bit.
Love listening to him.

[robpain]

Love how he checks if he can go in the paint store, very considerate... Clarkson would have just barged in and started opening everything lol

Not much roasting more like James May gives his honest impression and Hammond's credit where its due.

[Arcturuseyes]

James trolling Hammond is great, I know he's proud of him for doing this.

"Am I looking at a very well funded hobby or a business?"
I'd put my money on an 'Expensive, extensive mid-life crisis'.

It's hard to imagine that these guys had one of the biggest - if not THE biggest - shows on the planet. Possibly some of the most recognizable people alive, yet they stayed amazingly down to earth. Just blokes doing bloke stuff :). Great to see.
