James May's California road trip | Day 4

  • Hello viewers, it's day 4 of our California road trip and as you can probably tell we're all knackered. I've probably signed about 1,000 bottles and posters so my arm hurts. Also I've probably drunk about five bottles of gin, so my head hurts. However, in the interest of bringing The Gin of the People to The Land of the Free we must struggle on. "When the going gets tough, the tough drink gin".
    Buy my gin if you want: jamesmaysgin.c...
    Day 1: • We sent James May to C...
    Day 2: • James May's California...
    Day 3: • James May's California...

    James, you sticking around, even after you ran out of memorabilia to autograph, was awesome! I could tell that those people weren’t the least bit disappointed. Good on you! 👍

      Instead of that they got an apology, had a little chat with him and in some cases a photo. Much better IMO and something many others wouldn't do.

      It was cool to see him stop by the stairs at Big Corona, my ‘stairs day’ training spot.
      It is a great view and the camera person did it justice.
      He also stopped right next to the chocolate strawberry stand by the Balboa Ferry. A favorite of mine as a kid; and of my kids n grandkids. Too bad it wasn’t open as it appeared not to be a weekend.

    James, I wish I had known you were coming to San Diego ahead of time. Watching you drive across the Coronado Bridge and your reaction was interesting since I do it several times a week, and it never get's old. Always a lovely view from up there. Suddenly you were at McDonald's and since there aren't any McDonalds on Coronado except on the military base, I was a bit confused? Then in the next clip you were out at the Keg & Bottle in Del Cerro so I realized you had moved on. Hope you enjoyed your quick tour of Coronado....it's an amazing place to have just across the bay from Downtown SD.

I drove there and was told by the lady selling me my excellent parsnip gin that I missed a "guy named James May"! She had no clue! And I missed it! I did buy a bottle of parsnip gin, again, excellent. Makes a wonderful G&T. I don't have any social media, so I hope I find some way of getting to a signing if you ever return to paradise.
