James May visits Richard Hammond's workshop to get help!

Back in January, James May sought out The Smallest Cog to help with a special project of his – the restoration of a road bicycle. Mike follows the happenings of the day, including Richard, James, Neil and lots of filing of bike frames. If only James still had a classic car to restore...

It's so nice to see James has finally grown to the age he has always been.

[DaveSimkus]

May is the dad or uncle we all wish we had. Such a sincere and charming dude.

[jima]

Their charisma together is unmatched. It is always a real treat to be able to see them interacting.

[Steve-rvql]

Hammond, May (and Clarkson) will never be matched let alone bettered. Natural, hilariously funny, unforced and unscripted. Friends with different, complimentary characters. Magic happens when any of them are together.

James May is a millionaire. The fact that he'd rather tinker around than simply buy a new frame is so true to his personality

[edchelledu]

I feel like James has never acted once in his life and what we see on TV is who he really is, such a charming person.

Why am I not surprised at all that James would be able to give a lengthy summary and history as to why a thumbnail is called a thumbnail 😂

I know James, Clarkson and Hammond are multi millionaires and have their own lives outside the Grand Tour but I would love an episode of drivetribe with the 3 of them. Their chemistry is out of this world, I could gobble up their content for days on end. Such a remarkable and special trio. I love them all

This was filmed in January but James is still there, naming all the spanners.

8:15 this is a really genuinely sweet moment, May complimenting Hammond and something he's done well for once and Hammond just reveling in it like he's receiving praise from his cooler older brother for the first time. Gotta love these guys.

[arrans]

Makes me feel warm inside seeing them together again 🥰

[karremania]

No bad word to Clarkson, but May and Hammond together feels so more ... 'pure'. The odd banter, the odd jokes, but both in their zone of what they really wanting to do. Love to see more from those 2 together, visiting old cars they shared or both like.

[GoldFoilThonk]

I’m surprised May didn’t completely reorganize the spanners

[VanIsleNuckFan]

The exchange about paying and refusing to charge except for a drink was authentic and I think the most touching moment of the show.

[derricks]

I’ve miss these guys I wish we can get all 3 of them back together again. For me top gear wasn’t about cars it was about 3 friends having fun while going on adventures together And being hilarious while doing it . I could watch them do anything still be entertaining lol

[pacificostudios]

The affection between James and Richard is genuine and heart-warming. They have been through so much together for so long.

[shashankshekhar]

Jeremy is a farmer, James a pub owner and Richard a classic car restorer .. well these guys are spending their old age in most splendid way

[varunreddy]

Just watching Richard and James outside of top gear or grand tour gives me immense joy. I almost cried watching them after all they are my childhood.

[cupidstunt]

These two have great banter between them.
They should do a show together or something..

*”Welcome to ‘Middle aged men in glasses!’”*

That no joke sounds like a show both Hammond and May will host.
