James is starting to look like someone whose picture should be printed on American money
As an American I am completely ok if this happens.

Captain Slow could make a 10 hour version of this and I’d still watch it.
I'd watch anything he does and I'm a Clarkson fanatic!!
I Want to see more drunken legos !!!!
Seriously, this 7 minute video felt like it was just one.
You should watch James May's Random General Knowledge Chat's. It's basically an hour of James standing for a green screen answering questions. Although they're not just about cars, they're every interesting and enjoyable. Cheers
That's DR Slow to you.
Anything made by the Orangutan of Top Gear, the Spaniel of the BBC and the Hamster of National Geographic I'd absolutely watch it.
Make this a series. Make it bi-monthly, until James May gets tired of it.
I dont know James, but i have a feeling that he can talk for hours on end on numerous subjects. A great addition would be if he had the hamster and the orangutan on the show to discuss these questions. Would make for some great videos imo. He has already done it a couple of times and its really fun.
Agreed although first, they owe us more lego with definitely not vodka episodes.
Done
Probably
Ironhardt_8 he’ll get tired of it straight away
I think you mean fortnightly
Keep doing these James! It keeps the Drive Tribe channel alive!

"You are allowed to like two things...." This is one of *the* best advice I heard for a long time regarding electric cars. Thank you for that!
Indeed! I often use the simile of "You might prefer one, but you're also allowed to like both steak and chicken."
I do love both.. why struggle? XD
Not just regarding electric cars. Regarding life in general.
Reminds me of "my taste includes both snails... And oysters" from Kubrick's Spartacus
Another nugget of wisdom from James May.
A voice of reason in an unreasonable world

We all know Clarkson would've said *" just run them over"*
Any road with any number cyclists is a good road because target practice, bonus points if you have a car with a hood ornament that can be used kind of like iron sights on a gun
@@americanpanzer4163 you had me in the first line ngl
I like to yell “Share the road!” Right before I hit them.
Seriously though, they’re not commuting, they’re not racing, this is purely for recreation. It’s a power trip for them. They’ll do it during rush hour, even on 50 MPH roads! Can’t pass them depending on the terrain/oncoming traffic. And those who try to pass ultimately cause me to slam on my brakes to avoid a head on collision. So either direction, I am still effected by them. They are basically one step above joggers/dog walkers which travel against traffic, because, I dunno, they want to see when a vehicle is about to approach them, but don’t actually care enough to step 2-3 feet onto the dry publicly owned grass for a few seconds.
Saieel Prabhu And me, as a Cyclist would reply,
“No, it’s ‘run them UNDER’.” 😜
and he would be right...
I really enjoy watching the men from the Quaker Oats box give all this good advice

I dont get it
@@Th3R1K0RiKy Copilul Richardo the guy was asking what should he shove up the arse of the people who tell him to buy a new car. May's answer is basically telling him to shove a Jaguar F-Type Convertible up those people arse

Oh James;
You're international treasure.

James reached the level of Shaman on drive tribe.
We must listen to him and respectfully go away in silence when the video finishes.
This made my day
That rather pleasing
Regarding automatic rain sensors, there is a difference between a bad idea and a bad implementation of an idea. Automatic rain sensors are a good idea implemented badly.
It depends, apparently. Occasionally my MX-5 requires wake up nudge with the speed ring on the wiper stock, but mostly the automatic works as it should.
Dream Machine I totally agree with your clarification. However, I disagree with the premise that Automatic wipers (and LIGHTS, for that matter) are truly a “good” thing. Anyone who can’t be bothered to activate their wipers when it rains or their lights when it’s dark, has absolutely zero right to be operating a large, motorized vehicle amongst their fellow man.
These lazy bums can ride a motorcycle, if they don’t want to be bothered with lights and wipers; or if they actually embrace how LAZY they are, perhaps a geriatric scooter would be better suited for them. 😜
The rain sensors work well in my 2002 Volvo every now and then I do need to change the sensitivity by a notch or two but most the time they're pretty spot on.
Automatic windscreen wipers are awesome, anyone who has ever spent a trip constantly adjusting the speed of wipers to suit the changing rain will agree.
Rain sensors are like GPS navigation. You don't fully rely on it, but if you know how it works you can make a good use of it and save time.

Dear Dr. Slow, Your wit and wisdom is much needed in the smoky dumpster fire that is today's world. Thank you for continuing to bestow it upon us and never stop. Godspeed Captain Slow!
Nice! We need more Dr. Slow videos
Lmao the first question is literally my brother. Jake, 17, has an old fiesta. Made it loud af
Edit: for those asking, it's a 2004 fiesta Zetec with a 1.25 litre petrol engine. Yes it's slow af but you can really throw it round corners with the new tires and it's a lot of fun despite being horribly underpowered
Honestly yes it's a bag of shit but when you're raging it round B-roads it can be really fun
Is it any good then
@@Anankin12 its an old fiesta, of course its terrible
@@whatsittoya3770 I loved my '78 Made in Germany Fiesta!
James is right, it will make it run poorly (unless the computer is reprogrammed) and it will burn out the engine or transmission much faster. Especially if it's an automatic. It depends on how old you're talking though.
Is he a chav or just a soon-to-be disappointment for all the family?
Oi, May, when are you getting drunk and building Lego with Hammond again.
I think Jeremy should ask the questions next time. The definitely not vodka would be gone before the first question
Great fun, this. James's wit and delivery on these mundane emails is perfect! Good laughs!
Ironic that a video from Dr Slow would fly by so fast. We need more!
I can listen to James' voice for hours. Thank you for all the videos James!
Thanks for all this James May content. Excellent.
More James May please. Anything James May will do marvelously.
I **love** these James May videos!
They give me a cosy, relaxed feeling like arriving home on a rainy evening and settling down with some nice hot mushroom soup and a nice warm fire going in the lounge.
Captain Slow saving a guy from becoming a ricer 2019 colourised.
I could watch these videos with James May all day long.
Love this series. Dr. James does a good job! Keep it going!
Watching James answer the internet's questions brings joy to my day. Please continue.
You are a true Legend Mr May. really fun video to watch
As a fellow road user I thank you! (I generally cycle, drive or walk)
While I fully agree that we need to stick together against pot-holes and poor infrastructure how do you feel about periodic training for motor-vehicle operators?!
I find it incredible that if you want to drive a truck or a train, a fork-lift or construction equipment etc. you have to periodically up-date your training and prove your ability to continue to operate these machines safely - yet we train people to pass a driving test once and then they never have to think about what they've learnt almost ever again!
James, thanks awfully for answering my question. Your advice will be taken to heart and expressed appropriately.
Cheers, Reid.
I have no interest in cars, and I have no interest in hearing about cars, yet I see James May and I click and I listen and I like and I also leave a comment. Good dude.
The 4-Runner question could also be something in the driveline, like a u-joint.
Neal Steik Yessir, I had the same thought...u-joint, CV-joint perhaps.
That's what I said also
Yes indeed, but to get a noticeable vibration from those they'd likely also give some indication under load (either on power or over-run). The freewheeling hubs can do this.
Two Mass flywheel?
For The Toyota 4Runner, It's A Problem Either In Your 4WD System Or The Front Drive Axle Could Be Failing, Because My 2014 Nissan Versa Note SV Had That Same Problem While I Was At Speed, & The Transmission Failed & Had To Be Replaced, But Was $100 To Replace, Because Of My Aftermarket Warranty
I love when James answers questions
excellent! Much fun for a quiet Sunday afternoon. Captain Slow, your sir are a master!
James is such a darling. I don't think I've ever seen this man be anything but dulcet and polite. Makes for some easy viewing and listening when I should be otherwise engaged with more menial affairs such as cooking dinner...
Never mind cars I think James may should be prime minister
Furious Sponge Total agreement, from here across The Pond! 👍🏼
Furious Sponge I thought he had some strange lefty views though, but I’m glad TG stayed away from politics
Furious Sponge move over Boris.

"You are allowed to like two things." ❤❤❤
That juddering was my problem too! I figured it was the wheel bearing but I wasn't going to do anything about it, thank you James May.
James May answers motoring questions in much the same way as i would. Perfect!
I love James May. He's the best!🇬🇧😎
I totally agree. After watching all the Top Gear episodes I actually am starting to prefer the Drive Tribe kitchen ones. (The Spam sandwich is a definite pleaser in the pandemic menu.)
it was actually Caddilac that invented the rain sensor in 1958.
Gotta love that American build quality, but leaking rainwater into your face isn't a rain sensor, no matter what Marketing says!
James I enjoy these videos and they brighten my day up. Keep up the great work
I have enjoyed this very much. Mr Slow, you're a very relaxing person to listen to. :)
James May for prime minister! Just scribble out Theresa and write James :) a vote worth casting
Great video. Can we get some QnA videos with RIchard and Clarkson as well?
These are absolute gold!! Nice 1 DT team and May. Especially when they're off season and you've watched EVERY existing episode atleast 4 times
James May is the most wholesome, loving and laidback person ever
This series reminds me of car talk, the radio show by the magliozzi brothers.
It's the same, just more sophisticated and english

We also need James May to solve the Brexit problems.
close the border and give north Ireland back to Ireland

Carlos Leon fuck off
Quite amusing. I would tune in for this when new ones are available. This segment is a keeper.
Absolutely brilliant: I never thought of using the windshield as a Barb.
I’m feeling sleepy and wanted to stay awake at the same time listening to James May
Even though they're completely unrelated and it's a fairly common surname, I would nevertheless love to see James May and Brian May have a chat sometime. They're both intelligent thoughtful chaps.😁😎
put this on a DriveTribe page
These videos are like sitting down with Dad and chatting. Good stuff!
They should make this a full show every month. The music in the background is so relaxing.

Yeah because Episode 3 really beats the original trilogy... pfft, kids.
@@Hellwyck actually, i think its the worse of the 6... boomer.
You never see James and Brian May in the same room together. Hair up for Queen, down for drive tribe?
The rover P6 had one of the very first systems which worked on some sort of vacuum as once you hit the delay option on the wipers, there was a little white knob/ swirly thing on the side of the steering column that you could rotate to slow or speed to suite the presipititation (A Dr word)/rain/drizzle conditions.
Dr. May--you have so much info to dispense and in such a nice way. You are indeed an elder of our society.
That is a term of respect, in case any one doesn't understand. I am of an age myself, but cannot call myself an elder because I am not in a position to pass on lore. I am an anthropologist, which by definition should mean one who observes. I am happy that he makes intelligent comments.
Some say the you shorter you cut James' hair, the quicker he becomes.
In TopGear's season 2 he had quite short hair. And he drove an old Bentley.
Tanner may want to check the universal joint on the prop shaft as I had similar on my old Surf (basically a 4runner) because I lifted it by a few inches which wears them out quicker
I don't do mechanics that much, but that sounds worse than just the wheel bearings (Is that right?)
The rain sensitive wipers on the car I currently drive(LeonST)work perfectly.
This is a fantastic way to tie us over until the next season of GT! I could listen to him talk for hours.
If you ever need to get some sleep, eat your stomach full, watch Captain Slow explaining something and take a comfortable position
Yo Gleb, if you're out there, here are some more arguments you can use:
1. Buying an electric car and dumping your old car will leave a bigger carbon footprint. What you should do is use your old petrol car all the way until it is barely functional and you need a new one. At that point you could consider looking for an electric car. Electric cars are manufactured and the process generates pollutions as well.
2. Electric cars run on batteries. And batteries are not environmentally friendly either. The lithium iron inside electric car's batteries require a special breakdown process and that generates pollution as well. Everything has a lifespan and that includes batteries. Also if they are not disposed correctly they can do more damage to the environment than they save.
3. Charging stations and charge time. I'm not sure where you live (hecc I'm not even a UK resident) but you should see how many charging stations are near you. You know you can count on petrol stations being everywhere but is the same true for oversized chargers? Also waiting for batteries to charge is a pain.
These are some arguments I came up on the spot (and shamelessly stolen) but hope it helps. Other than that it is a very hard argument to win and i genuinely do believe the future is electric. Just not right now. Eventually when everything is more electric car friendly...
This is actually a great response. I drive electric by the way, but I don't mind admitting there *are* downsides to it and there are genuine reasons to *right now* keep your old petrol car and wait a bit for electric. In the near or far future it might be different.
You just have to love James. Thanks for the videos
I had automatic wipers on a Buick and they worked flawlessly. Loved it.
3:49 The vibration problem at certain speeds is usually solved by wheel balancing. I had the same issue at 70 to 75 kmh. Balancing the wheels solved the issue.
Dear James
You and Clarkson should start feeding Hammond less, if things keep going as last season. He will soon have the role as the model for garden gnomes of the future.
Love these segments with James!
Thats it, its 3AM and Im off to bed. I feel as though a kindly uncle has just tucked me up with a heart warming bedtime story put the world to rights and turned off the light.
Such is the magnificence of the irreplaceable loveable James May. What a blessing to broadcasting he is and worth at least a hundred youtubers.
You know what? Living by May's rules is starting to sound like a near excellent idea
Strange I'm so used to seeing James fade to black whenever he explains things
So much wisdom in one person ...👏👏👏
3:48 @tanner chambers
It happened to me, was one of the frontal Axle Shaft that was worn. (could still be a ruined wheel)
You can identify which one (if is a fwd or 4wd) by accelerating while cornering around that speed, you will sense that the juddering will intesifies on the wheel that is carrying more weight on that corner.
4:33 consider the braking discs might be damaged/deformed. So when this happens the wheels wiggle significantly
I'm just saying...
But then the problem would become even worse under braking, but yes there is a good list of things that could be causing that issue most of them requiring attention sooner rather then later before something really bad happens.
It's the transmission. Just needs a good flush. Common on Toyota auto transmissions.
So nice to hear James May speak without the Orangutan shouting him down.😁👍💖
very good. loving these very much.
The rain sensor on my 2018 mondeo are perfect the auto lights on the other hand come on when it's very sunny! The heated windscreen is the best invention ever
Would it be wrong to pair James may and Cris Harris together or would it be an amazing combo (I think so but do tell me if I'm on something)
I was thinking of pairing James May and Edd China in a car repair show...that would be a nerd-fest!
Common enemy : legislator
TRUE STORY
I can watch James answering questions all day.
So wise...keep em coming please and thanks
A bit like those fish who swim up your 🐔...!!!🤣🤣🤣👌🏻
You give opposite answers to the first two questions:
1: Car manufacturers know what they are doing.
2: Car manufacturers *don't* know what they are doing.
and sometimes they deliberately don't want a cheap car to look good. or just don't care
We need more of you on the channel, James!
Will always love James May

Captain Slow, or as the Italians call him Mr. Slowly
What is wrong with calling you Sir? I know there are proper titles in England. But....here, Sir and Ma'am are a sign of RESPECT.
I had a VW Jetta from 2015 where the automatic wiper sensors worked beautifully. It's an optical sensor that reads droplets on the glass.
I'd rather flick the windscreen wiper lever every 5 seconds than leave it on automatic. It's so annoying.
drivetribe is starting to milk james may for views at this point but i dont mind but just sayin lol
he owes a part of it
The Rain Sensors on my 2015ish Opel Astra work okay
I'm sure Dr. May has limited time to do these videos, but, they need to be so much longer. Keep it up DriveTribe!
A car driver giving a cyclist a wide birth - That has never happened....EVER!
Asking about cyclist to james may??? Pffttt.. i f you want an answer that you hope for, ask clarkson

@SarkyBegger And I miss it already.
I really sincerely love these videos.
