  • Who wouldn't want James May to be their teacher? Apparently, Clarkson and Hammond aren't the biggest fans of May's lessons. Whether it's about cars, current events or fine arts: there's nothing James May won't have a fun fact about.

    Join Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May as they travel across the globe on their Grand Tour. A show about adventure, excitement and friendship… as long as you accept that the people you call friends are also the ones you find extremely annoying. Sometimes it’s even a show about cars, reviewing Italian classics, hot hatchbacks, muscle cars, pick-up trucks, luxury vehicles and more. There’s something for everyone (If you like middle-aged men doing things with cars, then this is the show for you!)
    Prime Video has thousands of popular movies and TV shows, including award-winning Amazon Originals, plus live sport and more. All included with Prime!

      @stephanvelines7006 Před 2 lety +7

      He doesn’t actually - with all due respect for the institution that is Mr. May -. The Nurburgring (Nordschleife) requires suspension travel and well tuned dampers more than any other track because of elevation changes, rough surface patches at places like the Karussell and changing surface conditions (shadowy parts, weather).
      More than any other track, the Nordschleife ist about compromises between compliance and immediacy, low and fast speeds, tun in and road holding, compression and depression. Balance is therefore key.
      You should visit it, it’s like driving on a country road in many ways. And very scary if you push. (not talking about the GP course).

      1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's./Inspiration+We have heard the phrase, "You are what you eat." Consider what you consume and put into your body on a regular basis: do you think that you treat your body as a temple of the Holy Ghost? I know that I have been guilty of gluttony and have had issues with alcohol that I am not proud of. This life is a gift and we only have one shot. What a shame it is to waste our time and health on weaknesses of the flesh. Sadly, in these modern times, gluttony is literally a deadly sin./Prayer+My body is a temple of the Holy Ghost. Give me this day my daily bread, and the strength and wisdom to accept only my daily amount. Lord, I pray that You help me to approach all things with moderation, but know that I am a sinner. I want what I cannot have, and that which I do have, I want more of. Hold my hand, loving God, and show me the path towards a healthy and loving relationship with You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

    James may is like your boring & quiet Uncle,
    When you just a kid,you jest see him as calm and boring make you sleepy
    But when you adult enough and meet him again,you realize that he's cool, interesting and charm with his way as an Adult

    James May - coolest man on the planet yet he’s completely and utterly oblivious to that fact.
