So so true!

Well he would, of course, have to dive into the history and/or the science behind what is happening relating it to experiences from his life.

Yes, because any idiot can drive and vomit like Chris Evans, but if you choose to watch paint dry with James May, James will tell you something wise and interesting, something that you couldn't hear anywhere else.

I would listen to him say things about paint

Or watch him assemble a telephone.

I would love to see James do a new series of that program.

Took the words out of my mouth

James May is like Bob Ross of reassembling

Yes please

Common BBC there are six people here that would watch a new series that's like double of last time!

It's so soothing, like watching a crackling fireplace

Would love more Reassembler or Manlab!

100% agree with Vincini Car. Soothing. Perfect to watch while rebuilding my slot cars.

In the midst of so much clickbait, fake news, blinkered unreasoning debate, and political BS, there still exists a place of quite, calm, relaxed, wholesomeness that makes KZfaq worth visiting occasionally. If you know where to look, and what you are looking for/at. All it really needs to have a more positive view on KZfaq content, I've finally found, is to do the filtering yourself. We all 'want content' - but don't let them tell you what that means, or that it's free, or that it's good because it's popular. I've had this on my list of possible things to watch for a while now*. And I've waited until it just felt like I was ready to watch it. And it's very, very satisfying. :)) * Edit: I must have been thinking of another JM post above; because when I got to the end of this one and found there was no part 2 I was SO sad. Until I realised that this has just been posted! Real 'live' content: not just another dead end that won't ever be followed up, hopefully. And that made me happier than anything has this month, tbh.

its most wondferful.

@Le Jeune 6troëniste Dear lord, learn to put a proper sentence together or don't bother at all.

@@99Plastics .. With a name like that, English is probably not his first language. So, we can be a bit more patient, right?

Everyone's going on about how great it is to listen to JM talking about drying paint and all that. (And I don't disagree.) But about halfway through it struck me just how much Mike's keenness, enthusiasm and 'wholesomeness' also makes this fascinating viewing too. A brat of a nephew would make this very awkward to watch. Mike certainly deserves more credit than he is getting here.

Is it a woman .

Lol

Guess there is still some electricity stored in that old train 😂😂😂

James is having an electrogasm right there

I'm actually dying xD xD xD

Is there someone under the table doing James? 😂

Stig who

@@23gatesy All we know is that he's called The Stig!

@@anindrapratama No repairs at all as yet...its been a week, hope he sticks to his day job...

Not the stig. The stig’s toy collector cousin!

Thank you for this comment, it tickled me.

Toy Stories was one of the best television programs ever honestly

I’ve loved toy stories and the repeats. The one on meccano when James travels to France was great. I’m a Dutch female born in 1950 and my parents didn’t had no money for that kind of toys

some say that he actually invented the steam engine.

Doc brown built one in 1885

Always kills me when I am reminded that I am essentially the same age as James and the other Top Gear guys. James seems soooooooo much older. Pretty sure he was old when he was young.

I believe he was good friends with George Stephenson and was one of the first people to ride the Rocket. :D

@@cvn6555 Did you know James went to school with John the Baptist.

Mark S. Imagine going to a pub with him?

@@adaptorperish1322 mate I’m half tempted to get a job at drivtribe just to invite James for a drink

Happy Hertzair unfortunately it’s not triang, because these were for rich kids and old stiffs that weren’t too keen on fun things like chuffing sounds

Love the reference to his toy stories series haha

it works if the engine is engine driven then you could place the realistic chuffing sound in the locomotive's tender

@@naturespecialist1489 the old tri-ang and railway models are engine powered means there's more space in the tender for sounds

DADDY AND HIS CHICKEN

Captain Slow meets Mr Even slower.

It is...heard so many say they wish James was their dad and it´s not hard to understand why.

More like sensei and disciple

If you don't know about it, he had that. James May, The Reassembler. But we do need more of that.

I think you've got plenty of company... ;-)

Karl os He somehow is like ASMR, except you also learn things listening to him.

JC Denton I’ll have 2 number 9’s an number 9 large a number 6 with extra dip

Toughest mission. Ever.

@@grbrtv4527 cuz smoke can't shoot straight

And clearly many people don't find it dull at all considering how popular city building games are. :D

Yup, made the mistake of buying Cities Skyline last week...I want my life back... (SimCity sucks compared to it.)

@@TheAlfsterino Yeah the newest SimCity specifically is just awful.

TheAlfsterino welcome to the club

I really like Tropico 6, that’s another good alternative to SimCity.

Simon67316 Wait for part 2. The motor is fine.

😂😂😂😂 of electrogasm

Remember that means war with France day 2 lol

Don't forget he will have the RAF bomb Hammersmith. Lol

Ph

@@madialeader5150 and Nurburgring

He's a remainer fuk that.....

alcohopiphany

I suspect a glass of red is an essential part of his tool kit for repairing toy trains. Whenever something gets difficult or frustrating, a gulp of wine relieves the tension and gives him new energy to tackle the problem.

I came to the comments to see where part is. I can't find it.

When is part 2 coming out
