I would like the crash helmet. My daughter lives in Vietnam and is getting her first motorbike. I’m worried that the helmets here are not up to snuff and the one helmet I ordered from China cracked when she dropped it. It’s the perfect colour and perfect size for her and I would be honoured to take it off your hands. Edit to kiss up. I became a top gear fan after watching your first Vietnam special. Been a fan ever since and watch all your toy special and got a prime subscription because of you. Thanks mate.
Shmuel Yosef that was funny in the special. Didn’t work in the rain. My daughter was one of the first kids in Vietnam to wear a helmet. You couldn’t even get kids sizes back then. Now the police are cracking down, you must wear a helmet and way to much Chinese fakes on the market. They are about as effective as wearing a colander.

I actually love the B58 because my father flew them. The detachable bomb bay, the four afterburner engines, and the fact that it was America's first supersonic strategic bomber, makes it s particularly impressive aircraft.
I NEED THE HELMET. I have a Triumph Street Triple and previously I had a Triumph Speed four bike. Great pieces of hardware! Last year I had a crash (not my fault) so my helmet is busted and I need a new one or I will die. Plus red is my favourite colour. Bike is fixed and ready for season... only thing that is missing is a red helmet with James May's autograph on it! Cheers
Kristaps Alcmanis you need to go through Drivetribe app/website. Not sure if you know that, but you seem to really want it so thought id try to be helpful 👍🏻
@i like frogs No need for it. In case you get COVID-19: Drink Elderberry tea, yarrow tea for diarrhea (might come with fever). Coconut water helps as well. Sleep, take a warm heat bag and put it on your belly to speed up your digestion. Don't panic, panic drains your energy and weakens your body (You'll make it easier for the virus). As long as you're careful and as long as you gather a little bit of knowledge about viruses in general you won't get it, and if you do, chances are high that it won't kill you if you know what to do. We are humans, we have survived worse
Would love the helmet, just recently got back into my bikes after spending 9 month in hospital 5 of which in a coma after been jumped whilst on my motorbike at a red light, took bike and damaged my helmet, I've got a new bike Honda Grom 125 😋
I love James May, Richard Hammond, and Jeremy Clarkson and I have loved them for years. These guys can do ANYTHING and I’ll watch it lmao, I can’t wait for their next Amazon prime video special to come out for the grand tour. Drive tribe fills the void though and I’m thankful :)
My girlfriend would love the helmet. We've met a few weeks back and she really wants me to take her for a ride on my Ninja 650. I've been saving up for a proper helmet ever since the first date. But it's hard saving up while being a student here. The helmet would actually be perfect for her since she is kinda clumsy (I hope she'll never read this). She once left the kid she babysitting for in a bicycle seat for over half an hour because she couldn't undo the straps, so a helmet without straps would be perfect. Plus the red goes perfect with the red accents on my bike.
In March of 1962 a bear named Yogi was ejected from a B-58 at 35,000 feet traveling at Mach 1.3 to test its escape capsule. The test was a success and Yogi survived.
Dear Mr May, I would like the cold war bomber as I am incredibly interested in artefacts from the 60's and 70's and am a massive fan since 2011; from top gear to toy stories to seamen I have seen everything and I do believe that I sent a letter to you, Jeremy and Richard and received a topgear post card Your humour always makes my day and everything you have worked on has been amazing Kind regards, John Lennon
I had a clipper, the same in every respect except for the paint which was chipped and I loved it. The door lifts up and open too which is soo cool when you're a kid and my sons would appreciate that car no end.
I would very much like the helmet. My father in law (not yet) rides motorcycles and is a 73 year old vicar around derbyshire. He has done many bike tours for wounded soldiers and many trips abroad helping tribes and struggling communities. He is currently await open heart surgery but is still riding his bike to the hospital where he works as a chaplain. He has always been a huge fan of all your works and this would be an amazing gift to keep his spirits high during his current heart problems. Many thanks. Will.
I would love the B58 hustler, its one of the very few smaller jet bombers in history that had a crew of three, namely the pilot, navigator and bombardier. Later in the 70's as you know with the advent of early military computers these tasks were able to be done with two personel. In any case, I want you to know that I have loved Top Gear, the Grand Tour and now Drive tribe, hoping more seasons of the Grand Tour are in the works. Much love and admiration
10 years ago while watching the 3 boys I wouldn't have guessed the guy that would be willing to stay on camera and entertain us after it's all over would be James. But now it makes sense.
Hi James, i’m 16 and my dad has a Honda pan European, i’d love to ride pillion on the back but I don’t have a motorbike helmet, and yes it’s the right size for me. Thanks Charlie
That 60's set bomber looked pretty cool! It is probably gone now that this was uploaded on the 18th. Oh well. I like the letters they were pretty heartfelt and nice. I don't know yet if I will be sending you anything in these horrible times but, your toys looked pretty great, May! Thanks for making me laugh and always making good jokes on this Drive Tribe channel, stay safe in these bad times and I'll see you in the next episode!
Hi James, Before you opened the box from the Netherlands, you assumed and/or hoped it was full of weed. Well, as you were saying that, I was taking a nice big rip from my bubbler. I know you're keeping that beautiful pillow, but just know that I would really adore it and treat it well. Thanks, Neil

I am 16 and i am just taking my motorcycle lincense, hopefully in april will be able to drive legally. I think to buy a Yamaha MT 125 but i don't have a helmet yet. The helmet will fit me and i hope to win it. Also my birthday is on the 21. Cheers
Dear mr may I am an avid motorbike rider for my daily commute I have a Yamaha FZ6-N and think the helmet is a brilliant bit of kit and it would fit if I was picked. I have never seen this sort of helmet and as a firefighter in Hertfordshire would also love the opportunity to get crews familiarised with this new technology and make them aware of opening procedures. Anyway keep up the great work and opening random tat.
Hello James just wanted to say thank you for getting me in to modeling when you built the giant spitfire and since then I have been hooked a few years down the line a 20 year old me still loves building them and I think the B-58 would be an amazing project , many thanks Tom
I would like to have the 1976 Matchbox Rollamatics Clipper car. I loved the story behind it, and it reminds me of one of my favorite cars, the Lancia Stratos.
Hi James! I went to Ohio for a flight physical (standard US Air Force stuff) and they have the best flight museum I’ve ever seen. I feel in love with the b-58 they had. The ejection seat is essentially a cocoon to protect you from supersonic ejection. I’m heading to pilot training soon and would love the model to build before I leave.
about the cold war B-58, hmm i'll be honest.. I didn't know the plane existed until watching this video but I built models and i will be confined home for the next two weeks (in Belgium) at least so I would be interested in receiving it! best plane name ever though
Hi James, I’d really like the vis comic as I think it would make a lovely centre piece framed in my man cave. Unfortunately it’s the only place in my house my wife would allow it, but it would appreciated daily by me and me only..
I would like the B-58 Convair, because I quite enjoy building these model aeroplanes and cars, and something historical like this would be right up my street. A friend of mine has a grandad who flew these, would like to build this and send it to him.
the B-58 In 1963, it flew from Tokyo to London (via Alaska), a distance of 8,028 miles (12,920 km), with 5 aerial refuelings in 8 hours, 35 minutes, 20.4 seconds, averaging 938 miles per hour (1,510 kilometres per hour). As of 2016, this record still stands
That B-58 model would look great at work sitting beside our J79 turbojet in the training area of our jet turbine repair and overhaul centre. Same era as the Rolls-Royce Avon that we work on (and the beginnings of the RR RB211 we work on too). The jet turbine engineer in me would definitely build that model!
My Father grew up in the 60s, and when he was a boy he made a model of a B-58 Hustler, over the years of various young family members his original model was ruined, it would be so cool if I could gift him that B-58 A factoid: The B-58 used the same General Electric J79 turbojet as used in the F-104 Starfighter.
MostlyLoveOfMusic no penis bad in bin good place for peenus, no one need that it’s a disgrace piec of wood and should be pot back on th tree for the nature to contine being good and healhty
I would love that model kit of the Hustler bomber, they were responsible for keeping me awake all night while I was on holiday in Norfolk as a child(which was a very long time ago)
WOW! Just discovered my head is the perfect size to the helmet ! Please pleeaase let the perfect match happen. And I'm the girlfriend who misses her scooter and loves MrBassjan.
Hi James, Amazed to see the B-58 Hustler on show. You are right it is an interesting aircraft and as a kid I made kits like these and read lots about the planes. I remember being fascinated with the B-58 due to the capsule ejection system. As the soviets surface-to-air missiles developed the speed (B-58 was the first Mach-2 bomber) was not enough so it had to fly low which increased the wind shear. This meant traditional ejection was going to work so they developed the capsule ejection, although if you had large feet these pods were difficult to eject. I’m not sure what interesting facts you would like on this plane, we can all list a stream of technical information including the trophies it won, I believe the reason it is so difficult to give a fact is the plane did 10 years arrive to the US airforce and didn’t see combat once - this in itself is an interesting fact to me. Anyway if there is no one else I would gladly take this off your hands and treasure it. Many thanks (apologies about the length)
James I love watching anything with you in it! I've been into making model kits since I was a wee boy. Would you be willing to send the model plane to me? :)
My cat would love the cube! She is really friendly and lovely. I still remember the accident of Tiddles in The Rover James, and it gives me nightmares when thinking about it.. :(
Wow that helmet is so cool! Nice innovation and design. Would love to ride with it in my honda cb125r, not a big bike but I love it. PS: Big fan from Spain :)
Fun fact: the Agena upper stage, the one that docked to Gemini 8, was derived from a missile pod that was slung under the Hustler. In fact, before it was renamed to Agena, it was called the 'Hustler Upper Stage' - thus rather than Atlas-Agena, launchers with it were called Atlas-Hustler, Thor-Hustler, etc.
I know that the B-58 "Hustler" was our first supersonic bomber. It also had these crazy clamshell-type escape pod ejection seats. Don't know too much else about it but I work on its successor, the B-1B "Lancer."
Love seeing "Tropical Alpine #5"... it looks so happy hanging up! (the colors look so vibrant) Another great episode, thank you for the smiles...such a good variety of parcel too! *Great shade of magenta on that car! Sending aloha and the warmest of wishes, Shan
My grandfather (now in his 70s) used to be a usaf controller for those convairs and other planes like it back in the 60s and he went on to work at boeing in the 70s! He designed the parts to make the parts of the airplane, he also set up computer servers for Boeing in the late 80s. He also has a small collection of model airplanes, model cars and loves doing puzzles, so I would like to have that airplane to gift to him for his birthday!
I would love that matchbox rollamatic I used to play with my dads one as a kid at my grandparents house and I'm pretty sure one of my little cousins took it as a kid cos it just vanished one day and seeing that brought back sooooo many memories I would love to have that to put on my desk as a great memory!

They will get you to play Euro Truck Simulator 2024 and you'll become addicted and you will never have to have a proper job again.
For I may be a little late a couple interesting facts about the b-58 is that it was supersonic and that it carried all of its armourments in a small pod underneath the fuselage.

the B-58 In 1963, it flew from Tokyo to London (via Alaska), a distance of 8,028 miles (12,920 km), with 5 aerial refuelings in 8 hours, 35 minutes, 20.4 seconds, averaging 938 miles per hour (1,510 kilometres per hour). As of 2016, this record still stands
Thats the perfect size for me. I could really use the helmet for riding atv. Also looks amazing! Love drivetribe hope to see more May!
bumpin beats Tool fan?
Yeah and Alex Grey
bumpin beats Did you pick up a copy of FI?
@@danielpowers2191 yessir
Wrong type of helmet for atv. You want an actual ATV/Dirt bike helmet.
That B-58 model would look great at work sitting beside our J79 turbojet in the training area of our jet turbine repair and overhaul centre. Same era as the Rolls-Royce Avon that we work on (and the beginnings of the RR RB211 we work on too). The jet turbine engineer in me would definitely build that model!
Hey James,
I’m interested in scale model,
Interesting fact about b58 bomber, their engines has been modified and used in airliner convair 880.
My Father grew up in the 60s, and when he was a boy he made a model of a B-58 Hustler, over the years of various young family members his original model was ruined, it would be so cool if I could gift him that B-58 A factoid: The B-58 used the same General Electric J79 turbojet as used in the F-104 Starfighter.
And what if i wanted the little wooden hammond? rude to throw it away, James, rude
MostlyLoveOfMusic no penis bad in bin good place for peenus, no one need that it’s a disgrace piec of wood and should be pot back on th tree for the nature to contine being good and healhty
he chucked wood
My first viewing of this show! James is great as always. My mind is already racing about what to send. Many thanks James, and thanks for posting this.
I thought Hammond stole the gold plaque
Enrique Perez he did... but stuff happened...
@@JP11155 like a flung axe and a couple drop of blood, and its back.
I would love that model kit of the Hustler bomber, they were responsible for keeping me awake all night while I was on holiday in Norfolk as a child(which was a very long time ago)
Update on the missing RUclips plaque? A spot of revenge is in order?!
The contemporary editing clashes with james in the best way possible. Verry funny, love your stuff
Hang on a minute.... How did that gold RUclips plaque come back from Richard Hammond's office?
I would love the model plane as I am a massive aviation geek and I love war planes. Fun fact: the b58 is the first supersonic bomber
WOW! Just discovered my head is the perfect size to the helmet ! Please pleeaase let the perfect match happen.
And I'm the girlfriend who misses her scooter and loves MrBassjan.
Hi James,
Amazed to see the B-58 Hustler on show. You are right it is an interesting aircraft and as a kid I made kits like these and read lots about the planes. I remember being fascinated with the B-58 due to the capsule ejection system. As the soviets surface-to-air missiles developed the speed (B-58 was the first Mach-2 bomber) was not enough so it had to fly low which increased the wind shear. This meant traditional ejection was going to work so they developed the capsule ejection, although if you had large feet these pods were difficult to eject. I’m not sure what interesting facts you would like on this plane, we can all list a stream of technical information including the trophies it won, I believe the reason it is so difficult to give a fact is the plane did 10 years arrive to the US airforce and didn’t see combat once - this in itself is an interesting fact to me. Anyway if there is no one else I would gladly take this off your hands and treasure it. Many thanks (apologies about the length)
James I love watching anything with you in it! I've been into making model kits since I was a wee boy. Would you be willing to send the model plane to me? :)
My cat would love the cube! She is really friendly and lovely. I still remember the accident of Tiddles in The Rover James, and it gives me nightmares when thinking about it.. :(
Wow that helmet is so cool! Nice innovation and design. Would love to ride with it in my honda cb125r, not a big bike but I love it.
PS: Big fan from Spain :)
Fun fact: the Agena upper stage, the one that docked to Gemini 8, was derived from a missile pod that was slung under the Hustler. In fact, before it was renamed to Agena, it was called the 'Hustler Upper Stage' - thus rather than Atlas-Agena, launchers with it were called Atlas-Hustler, Thor-Hustler, etc.
I wanna see a capatain slow gaming channel
I know that the B-58 "Hustler" was our first supersonic bomber. It also had these crazy clamshell-type escape pod ejection seats. Don't know too much else about it but I work on its successor, the B-1B "Lancer."
Did he stole back the RUclips plaque from Hammond or was this recorded before Hammond's video?
Love seeing "Tropical Alpine #5"... it looks so happy hanging up! (the colors look so vibrant)
Another great episode, thank you for the smiles...such a good variety of parcel too! *Great shade of magenta on that car!
Sending aloha and the warmest of wishes,
Shan
Asking the introvert to just pop out and approach a bunch of dudes, well done James.
That pillow is awesome! I'm glad he kept it!
You steal the play button back from Hamster?
ruclips.net/video/SU2xXL20_hU/видео.html they made a vid about it
My grandfather (now in his 70s) used to be a usaf controller for those convairs and other planes like it back in the 60s and he went on to work at boeing in the 70s! He designed the parts to make the parts of the airplane, he also set up computer servers for Boeing in the late 80s. He also has a small collection of model airplanes, model cars and loves doing puzzles, so I would like to have that airplane to gift to him for his birthday!
Hey, that helmet is the perfect size for my wife's noggin, may we have it so she can ride with me ?
I would love that matchbox rollamatic I used to play with my dads one as a kid at my grandparents house and I'm pretty sure one of my little cousins took it as a kid cos it just vanished one day and seeing that brought back sooooo many memories I would love to have that to put on my desk as a great memory!
After about 2 years, you're going to fall in love with your subscribers and you'll start a Twitch channel where you mosey about the house, whereby people will give you thousands each night. They will get you to play Euro Truck Simulator 2024 and you'll become addicted and you will never have to have a proper job again.
For I may be a little late a couple interesting facts about the b-58 is that it was supersonic and that it carried all of its armourments in a small pod underneath the fuselage.
