After wrapping TGT, James May deleted Jeremy and Richard's contacts from his phone. However, years later in season 4 of Clarkson's Farm, James and Jeremy speak about the hardships of owning a pub. This is because Jeremy called James who presumably answered an unknown number.

James definitely would have answered with “hello.”, because you have to start with hello.

James the type to answer the phone with the last 4 digits of his number.

There is a good You Tube video of James and Richard revisiting the old Top Gear shed.

Jeremy says darts are for people with no conversation just throwin that out there

If Jeremy said jump off a cliff. Id prob watch you.

[-]

da_muffinman@reddit (OP)

If Jerey Clarkson told me to jump off a cliff honestly I'd be down he prob has some next gen drone chutes waiting off the Dover cliffs

[-]

PrawnShamble@reddit

I feel like i should apologise. I cant have a battle of wits with an unarmed man

TheLewJD@reddit

That is incredible holy shit. Reminds me of James’ “I can’t dumb it down to your level because I’m afraid of heights”

[-]

SuperAccident@reddit

Be sure to zip it up when you’re done

Either that or end-stage tiktok brain.

This isn’t an okaybuddy sub. Go start a topgear/grandtour brainrot sub lol

riptide1002@reddit

Genuinely if an okaybuddy sub doesn’t exist for the trio, someone should start that

[-]

coffeebribesaccepted@reddit

Yeah better keep this sub focused on arguing over the best special and hating the new hosts

please take yourself in a leaning tower of Citroen off a cliff

I find it hilarious that these are successful men in their sixties, multimillionaire, have amazing car collections and travelled to all the places in the world worth visiting, but still one lifelong dream was missing: owning a pub!

[-]

I watched the Alex Armstrong pub walks episode with may last night and he sorta came off as sorta tired in life tbh, had a very “there’s nothing left for me to do I’ve seen it all” vibe, but I don’t know much about may or his current goings on

[-]

Jacabusmagnus@reddit

Could they resist the offer of another car type season if it presented itself. The trio back together.

[-]

He still makes TV programmes. He has a company making James Gin, which seems to be successful because he goes to the US to promote it. There's a James Gin YouTube channel with various random but entertaining stuff, almost none of which is about cars. But he still has an underground garage with a lot of expensive cars. Along with the pub, that seems to be a decent life to me

I always thought the deletion of contacts was performative and for a joke - he probably added them back immediately after filming ended. But I don't know for sure.

[-]

W33DG0D42069@reddit

It's James May I'd be surprised if he didn't have their numbers committed to memory

[-]

Maupin88@reddit

I wouldn't be surprised if their real numbers where named "Knob" and "little knob" in Mays phone

[-]

TeraMelons@reddit

Clarkson would totally be The Orangutan.

[-]

da_muffinman@reddit (OP)

I recall an episode where Jeremy uses voice command to "call vagina" s02e02

[-]

Electrical-JellyZ@reddit

He claimed it was more vulgar and changed it to that for tv.

[-]

LouisRitter@reddit

Should have saved it as "count" and blamed autocorrect for misspelling his name.

[-]

averagerushfan@reddit

Same

Facility_Operator@reddit

Everyone on here should read the book "Mr. Wilman's Motoring Adventure"

[-]

AceNova2217@reddit

I don't think he ever deleted them. There's no actual evidence that the screen was even on and he wasn't just randomly tapping.

AceNova2217@reddit

Wasn't talking to you

[-]

redbullcat@reddit

It's a public forum...

[-]

Oddballfew@reddit

Lol....how dare you reply to my public comment that everyone who enters this post can see!

[-]

AceNova2217@reddit

Ok

[-]

NoceboHadal@reddit

While I don't think they are the best of friends. I believe they are friends, and they probably meet up every so often.

Hammond and May seem to appear in eachothers online videos, so I'm guessing they are closer.

[-]

da_muffinman@reddit (OP)

You think you go through 30 seasons and Mongolia Argentina Madagascar Mongolia North Pole Burma Vietnam Nordic Scotland Zimbabwe Azerbaijan and aren't best mates I'm sure they talk all the time I'm just trying to make an unfunny trolly sarcastic joke a la shittymoviedetails vibes

[-]

primowalnut@reddit

I like to think they’re in a group chat with Wilman like I am with my mates. And the one guy that’s always getting ripped is Hammond. Can imagine them sending car crash memes to Hammond on the regular.

[-]

Mr_Pink_Gold@reddit

Added them back? I mean they will have at least one work phone and one personal phone. Probably multiples. He just deleted their work number. Or number from his work phone.

[-]

Shirahoshihoshii@reddit

I mean yeah, after filming, they're still going to get back to the studio, talk to the crew, have a wrap party, talk to each other about promos and general stuff...

I don't really think they got rid of each others' numbers. Hammond and May often met up to do DriveTribe stuff too.

[-]

Ferkner@reddit

Because he didn't actually do it and it was a callback to an joke earlier in the episode. Not a every bit they do is real, guy.

[-]

netrixtardis@reddit

I don't think it was from an earlier episode, but an interview way back about how the 3 of them get along. Clarkson's response about how their chemistry worked, which was to say that we're not friends. which, in hindsight was a joke. you don't work with people that long together and not consider them friends on some level.
