    • @moogle68
      @moogle68 Год назад +24

      Hammond is doing something new that is very risky and was seeking validation and reassurance from one of his closest friends in the world. James gave him what he wanted very eloquently and so yeah, you can see on Hammonds face that it meant the world to him to have James' approval and reassurance that this didn't seem like an entirely terrible idea. It needs some smoothing out on the profitability side, but it seems like it'll work for now.

    What's cool about the trio is they all interact with each other in such a unique way. As an entire unit, you have the loud Clarkson, sensible May and in-between Hammond. But then as they pair up as duos, they have a completely different personality, interaction and friendship not always seen on camera. I.e. Hammond and May are both able to bond over mechanical things where as May and Clarkson bond more over food (and drink).

    I can't think of too many instances in life where, having specific human beings standing next to each other and aiming a camera at them, can virtually guarantee smiles. There's so much weight behind their chemistry. It's interesting to think back; There was a point in our history, where the exile of one member could have meant the death of all this.
    The three of them are a permanent reminder, that committing to the right people, despite differences, despite ups and downs, can lead to something so inarticulately rewarding.

    The dynamic they have in this video is like younger brother and older brother in that Richard wants to show off his new toys and how cool they are to the older brother who is whilst impressed doesn't want to seem to excited because of the taunting he'd receive

      Hard to tell, but the imprint on the rear stay shoulders *looked* to be "Dawes", but I could see no sign of it being a more desirable alloy. The lug-work was the give-away there, but who knows, perhaps the manufacturer had some custom lugs made...

    • @Stantonv
      @Stantonv Год назад +2

      @@stephensaines7100 Thanks, I could see there was printing on the seat stay caps but with my small screen I couldn't read it. I wonder why, (and how it was possible to remove the lugs), without the removing the structural integrity. Maybe it was built like my old Lambert, brazed together and then a split set of lugs were added to imitate a quality build.

  • @moosecat

    The interaction between James and Richard (and, to a lesser extent, Jeremy) reminds me of how the members of RUSH interacted with each other, and still do in the case of Geddy and Alex; there's more than a professional bond between the two.
    If I were having my own vehicle redone, I would want James to inspect it (and sign off on it) before paying the shop, and heading on my merry way.
