James May! I’m proud to live in the same time as you. I watch loads of your content. From re-building a mini bike to hanging with Jay Leno. You are a gem. Hope you had a great time here in the states. Come to Colorado some time!
People were sad The Grand Tour ended but we still get vids like this so it's not too bad. As long as we see the trio on screen, whether together or not, I'm happy
@@Rowebot15most Americans live in cities like LA, he is seeing the real America, with real Americans. Just because you have some weird fixation on small town living doesn’t discount how the majority of the population lives.
"Everything is as it should be, California is functioning correctly!" I can confirm, eating large portions of American food, listening to the rolling stones, and playing volleyball until the sun goes down is how it always goes on the beaches out here. :)
@@milessampson3942 What do you mean? Both James and Jay share an interest in mechanical machinery and how it is put together. Doug is super obsessed with the car itself, but he has absolutely no clue or interest in how it works.
Well fine, James Gin is available from an American retailer and shipping is very reasonable for liquor, so I've ordered a couple of bottles to see. Now I need a decent tonic.
Fun fact: At the Griffith Observatory, non VIPs have to stand in a two-hour line (queue) to look through the big telescope for 30 seconds. They have a much smaller telescope for which the wait is only one hour.
Maybe from the outside politically it seems that way. Despite all that I absolutely love living here. Just this morning i took my air cooled porsche out for a hard drive in the malibu canyons and after a cruise along the pacific ocean with breakfast on the beach. Life is good here despite everyone online that don't live here saying that it isn't
@ I’ve been there quite a few times. Sure the weather is nice, but there is more distinction and breakdown of society there than just about anywhere else, save maybe NYC or Baltimore.
I lived in CA for 40 years, and only ever felt one earthquake North of Sacramento. Oddly, since I moved to West Texas, I've had three at my home. 😕 While you're in Southern CA, you need to stop somewhere for a Kobe burger. Thank me later.

James May and two other blokes.
Cant remember the car that got him there tho 😂

Clarkson uses a BMW 528i Touring, Hammond drives a Subaru Impreza WRX Estate, and May purchases a Volvo 850R Estate
@jazzyfax aahhh yes .. i remember the subaru now. That special was a good one. I miss TG OG
I love that Lucy is/was behind the scenes for all of this. Quite the whirlwind adventure!
I rather liked watching / listening to Lucy on her adventures. Glad she is still around!
We need longer videos James please....PLEASE!
And Robert!
Our Lucy, who may or may not be JM's prodigy, knows exactly what she's doing.
@@stanwbaker yeah what better way to get an all inclusive trip to America then to have it as a james may gin promo and expense the company
We need hetemy channel now
The video "James May Visits Jay Leno's Garage" is the 20 minute version of his Leno visit from this episode.
At minute 5:29 if James went to the left to go around the building the next FIB mision form GTA5 would have started.

Anthropomorphism is the key to empathy, curiosity, and imagintion. A sign of a highly developed creative mind.

"Does it serve nachos?" Is my new gold standard for judging the authenticity of French restaurants.
I think he said Doesn't serve Nachos
@@schizoUA-cam He did, but James May's line is the answer, this comment is restating it as the question.
That steak frites looked legit
James and his wooly headed companion who he keeps calling Robert on a journey through a strange and foreign land. It's like Mongolia all over again!
its amazing as always to watch a travel video from May´s perspective
James May on a tour of Los Santos 😊

Ohhh James hasn't seen the us untill he's been on i25 in a blizzard
Love James embracing LA culture by vlogging it
Jay leno's garage is insane. Thats special
People were sad The Grand Tour ended but we still get vids like this so it's not too bad. As long as we see the trio on screen, whether together or not, I'm happy
Meeting Jay Leno would be a bucket list experience for me. Seeing all those cars and talking shop with him would be aces
A clip already exists on UA-cam.
I can't even imagine this sort of life, just casually stopping by Leno's place and all these other folks in a single day...
and then telling Leno you have to leave for another interview, most folks getting to interact with Leno wouldn't want it to stop!
Jay Leno is the best at sharing his collection unlike many many other collectors...
Why did they let James have a Baseball bat at 0:55 😂
Because when he's handed a shotgun he looks down the barrell 😁
Fun fact "white man in Hammersmith bunker" was the pre release title of the clash song
5:25 For some reason I was expecting James to say:
DAVEEEEEYYY
OH YES LOL
THOUGHT THE SAME
James is now a baptized Californian having experienced his first earthquake
He said that it popped his earthquake cherry.
I was in Anaheim when the Malibu quake happened in early September. I was asleep and then it woke me up
It’s amazing how much that place looks like GTA 5.
I am no longer allowed to drink .....done too much and it was not fun! However, i just like watching James.
Robert's on screen talent is actually crazy
I think James should get a car racking system fitted in the Bugout Bunker. but due to head room, he could have one fitted for Matchbox cars.
Always entertaining to see my hometown and to know exactly where James is.
James eating In and out burger, meeting Jay and experiencing and earthquake has to be the most California day ever!
big boy james is back!
Almost as good as our actual our man in! Freaking love it. Jay Leno's garage tour was really cool.
James May enjoy your California road trip The view it's amazing enjoy it James May 😉🙏
Need more content from this channel, it's great. Cheers from California!
One of the best videos you’ve done! Love it
James secretly loves America even more than Hammond does. Lol
Then he should go to some small towns. See some real Americans.
@Rowebot15 agreed, that's a fantastic idea

@@Rowebot15😂 they tried that in the old show and were shot at. Alabama I think?
Love this collaboration .
May almost sounded like clarkson there when he said JAGS 😂😂
Lovely transition shots and music choices, nice that yer having fun, really chill watching. Don't know why I'm so thirsty though...
James I looooove this new mini series! Bought 2 bottles of your gin, 1 to shelve for display.
James: _Is, is that an earthquake?_
James: _Oh_
At least you get to eat brown food James.... Jeremy has to eat rabbit food... Doctor's orders...😂
🐰👀
James is my hero.
Superb video. I'm also envious of your surroundings, California!
Love to see you drive around and interact with my city. Always Love from SoCal. LIVING LEGEND

Very nice, Mr. May.
Did you realize, James, that while at the Griffith Observatory, you walked in the footsteps of James Dean? Rebel Without a Cause was filmed there.

Robert is a natural
I must’ve seen 20 tours of Lenos garage but James’s was probably my favorite.
That wasn't an earthquake, it was just mother nature giving her nod of approval to Jame's Gin Asian Parsnip.
I love these ✌️
from top gear to cooking
Ah…Captain Slow’s spatial awareness, of lack thereof.
"of"?
“James’s first earthquake” Immediately after that shot, he states it’s not his first earthquake. Love it 🙌😂
Oh! I’ve stayed at that hotel - the location is brilliant. 😊
Earthquake, celebrity visit, all you need now James is the freeway pursuit for your SoCal trifecta…
I lived in LA when the big Northridge earthquake hit in 1994. Not fun.
"We know it's authentically French, because it's the first establishment that doesn't have nachos." That's a great observation. 😂
I can't wait to try the new pixelated variety of James’s gin.
James will get the hang of this TV format thing one day, give him a chance!
I just got the gin. Brilliant.
i don't care if this all is just to promote his gin, james on the move is enough :D
Absolutely love it❤
It's not orange. IT'S BROWN!!! ; )
James May, shaken not stirred.
James you forgot to bring more than 1 shirt!
Looks tough to be James May post Grand Tour. Mingling with the common folk like Jay Leno.
1:33 Quite the same can be said about Richard Hammond!
We stayed in hemorsa beach we also saw Jay Leno going just out & about. It’s a great spot
Also got a hot dog on Santa Monica pier & it was amazing. Nearly the best thing I ate there.
He should go see Doug Demuro!
Leno and May didn't have great chemistry but a James and Doug collab.. that would be worth watching!!
@@milessampson3942 What do you mean? Both James and Jay share an interest in mechanical machinery and how it is put together. Doug is super obsessed with the car itself, but he has absolutely no clue or interest in how it works.
James has brought that tiny yellow back-pack, which is like a house for his microphone 🎤 friend, Robert
I'm glad you recorded the intro later. Otherwise I was concerned that you had traveled with a painting of yourself.
Well fine, James Gin is available from an American retailer and shipping is very reasonable for liquor, so I've ordered a couple of bottles to see. Now I need a decent tonic.
Wow! 😮 James have his own legendary CHEESE cutout!
Cut from the video... James getting a key to Jay's workshop so he could return that evening and spend the entire night exploring the wonders within. 😁

Little disappointed that Jay Leno didn't ask James if he was going to be the centerfold in the Mercedes magazine...
James, 'donut' is the correct spelling in California. And it's *THE* 405 when in SoCal. 😆
Had some deja vu watching. Oz Clarke should've popped out from a bottle somewhere 😊
Seeing smoking in the thumbnail of him in America i got excited.
Give in to your yobo urges James
When he said it was an earthquake I thought it was some LA slang for the gin being good.
I lived in CA for 40 years, and only ever felt one earthquake North of Sacramento. Oddly, since I moved to West Texas, I've had three at my home. 😕

Come back we need you! England is all drizzly anyways
The most retrospective series of events... after months of videos already posted and seen... better get off this bandwagon. Nice Gin though. See ya.
Official James may gin can cause earthquakes
In CA, do not even look up unless it is over a 5 on the Richter scale
