James May Toy Stories Episode 4 Part 1

[volatilevoid]

What's the song starting at 2:37?

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

Captain OCD strikes again.

[SkyCE9A]

This episode brought up so many good childhood memories, that I went into the basement and dug out all of my scalectrix cars and track. I filled my living room with a giant track, and my gf and I raced cars for the next week. It was awesome. God bless you, James May!

[DerDudeInShanghai]

5 dislikes?!?! nice try Clarkson

[ArandomHitchHiker]

james may has the best shows

[miniadult12]

Thanks for uploading this!!!

[knut761]

The English are heavily into Slot Car racing, they have clubs all over the place.

[TheLastBrainLeft]

I eagerly await a crappy, uninspired American ripoff of this show to air on the History Channel sometime in 2013.

[countmall]

@TheLastBrainLeft The American version isn't uninspired. Its just that Clarkson, Hammond, and May have spent the last decade tailoring the show to themselves. When you make a similar show with different people, thats what you're seeing.

[puffolinho86]

should be the solution for hamilton don't make incident... lol

[Aamin123456789]

The top two comments are by the same person O_O

[caledfwlch]

Whats the tune at 2:06

[metallin050192]

At home, me and my father have an entire room only for Scalextric. It's freakin awsome. It steals alot attention from my male visitors though.

[hayott355]

He should have built a mini-Nurburgring!

[EthanCommins888]

@hayott355 Great idea but James May hates the Nurburgring. lol

[modernflyboy]

@hayott355 but james may hate the Nurburgring in his opinion it ruins a car by making the comfort-sportines ratio tend to go to the sporty side, which he hates.

[Ali3nat0r]

@modernflyboy

... that was the joke... Methinks YOU'RE Captain Slow if you didn't get that.

[erikgee123]

@hayott355 I think James would've rather blown it up with his spitfire

[paintwaster117]

@hayott355 no full size

[mateigaman12]

3 people are playing with barbie

[bertiellison]

im 11 and i absolutely love scalxrtric

[ThyBountyHunter]

I just started watching these, and having grown up at a time when Meccano, Lego, slot car racing etc....where what we played with.

Now being a father of 2 I feel sad when I see the other kids around playing on their DS, or Xbox, sitting in front of the telly for hours on end.

Soon as my kids are old enough, I am so going to flood them with toys that teach and expand their minds without them realizing it.

[derbigpr500]

@ThyBountyHunter Play with Lego's yourself. They will see you play, and they will like to try it as well. Once they do, they'll be addicted. :P

[ThyBountyHunter]

@derbigpr500 Well kids played with mega blocks when they weren't old enough for Lego, now they have over 1k pieces in regular Lego. They can sit there for hours with it. I was thinking of when they are old enough for mechano and things of that sort.

[leonardusCHE]

Top Gear wouldn't be the same without James May! He's funny without even trying! Thumbs up?

[derbigpr500]

@leonardusCHE Yea. I agree. The reason why Top gear is my favourite show ever is not only because i love cars and British humor, but also because it has some of the best presenters in the world. It would only become better if Tiff joined them. :P But maybe its better that Tiff is in Fifth gear, since him and Jason are also a great duo. :P

[MrNico2020]

Is anyone knows what is this music at 5:52 ?

[aporigine]

I simply love the Capt. Slow Inaction Figure!!

[toxictaz]

@Rangeroversport12 You forgot the STIG (3dislikes)

[Rangeroversport12]

@toxictaz there was only 2 at the time of my comment but, yeah :)

[Kong8027]

It's Prince Bira at the time 5:56 the first Thai racing driver who compete in world GP!

[saf768]

i lapped my rc car (brushless) around nurburgring :P and no one has beaten the time 9:34 the car can hit 120 mph n prob but the tyres were a problem

[piratemonkeyfish]

James May only drives fast in scalextric

[ardvark84]

Thank you  pully87 ! All thumbs up!

[MrSimonglass]

James May makes Top Gear

[jamesvozar1]

@MrSimonglass writes a good book too, the others cannot write as well nor drive

[zeravija]

lol i have two porsche car :)

[modeltrainman12345]

Scalextric Bugatti is the same as the real one. Rare, expensive and beautiful.

[unholydawg21]

are u james may or no?

[alexcheetah79]

I want a James May Action figure!



[hatah4]

the stigs got an YouTube account as well

[raptormaster666]

Obscure car 3:34, the blue number 45, anyone recognise it?And that old racer right at the end, the Napier Railton, looks staggeringly beautiful.

[DeathMagneticX3]

@raptormaster666 I think it's a Porsche of sorts...I can't find out what though...damn you! I must find out now =P

[IanEduardoMeneses]

Make New York City in Scalextric, lol:

Boats, Buildings, Cars, Signs, etc.

[piuropaella]

NINCO 4 EVER

[crazymaniac567]

do the italian job in scalextric

[eXpdjmnm]

What is the song starting at 3:10?

[lesterclaypool1]

@eXpdjmnm its called the chain by fleet wood mac

[eXpdjmnm]

@lesterclaypool1 Thanks

[Rangeroversport12]

they should do the Top Gear Test Track in Scalextric!!!

[1debbiemiller]

@Rangeroversport12 they already have lol :)

[Rangeroversport12]

@1debbiemiller i mean full size :)

[TheJoshmancool]

@Rangeroversport12 I would say it is not impossible

[Rangeroversport12]

@TheJoshmancool what about the Nürburgring? XD

[X3rztesp]

@Rangeroversport12 lol... interesting idea... they could have 3 lanes with Jezza , Hammond and May for each lane.. Jezza with DBS , hammond with Zonda , and May with , err.. i dunno.. Panda ?

[Rangeroversport12]

@X3rztesp james should use a 430 cause he has one

[X3rztesp]

@Rangeroversport12 or 458 italia..

[SkyCE9A]

@Rangeroversport12 They would need someone to drive all those little slot cars...now who could do that...?

Some say his slot car trigger finger is hydraulic, and to this day he believes Transformers was a documentary. All we know is, he's The Slot Car Stig.

[Zlazuja]

@SkyCE9A Stiglectrix? :O

[SkyCE9A]

@Zlazuja Someone needs to market that! Brilliant!

[R33Racer]

@Rangeroversport12 They do, sort-of.

[god0fgod]

@Rangeroversport12 They have.

[johnchannetshow]

Why is there a line on the race path? I prefer the one that Japanese Tamiya design.

[nikkolightcrips19]

@johnchannetshow before tamiya released their own race track, this is the very first car toy in a race track

[JBofBrisbane]

@johnchannetshow - Tamiya did slot cars? I thought they were strictly radio control...

Do a search on Carrera, Fly, SCX, Slotit and AFX while you're at it.

[tomski355]

james may rocks

[thomasfan1993]

2 People prefer Computer Games than this Fantastic Show.

[16ISMYNUMBER]

Oooh tonight it's on (16th.1.11) and He's making a 10 mile long model railway track

[lennic95]

I always wanted scalextric, but my parents didn't get it because I'm a girl :(

[Supermassively]

"No copyright infringement intended, for entertainment purposes ONLY."

Fucking bullshit. Putting that line in the description doesn't make it any less wrong for you to illegally upload this.

Stupid asshole.

[Rangeroversport12]

@Supermassively you made yourself the stupid asshole by posting this comment

[PooPoo2U]

2:18

and i thought british people didn't like stock car racing...

they've built a perfect replica of bristol motor speedway!

[lilpyl]

i actually like the intro theme song

[MusicAndCars1]

Imagine Scalextric Le Mans 24 hour racing. At a scalextric De La Sarthe track. ( By the time it reached the third hour, I think it would blow the cars, but we have to dream big right? Do it James! Do it! )

[TheSilverDubber]

This is heaven!

Thanks for posting this as I live in Madrid, I have no cable/satellite TV and miss my Beeb summit chronic!!

[Rangeroversport12]

Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond must have YouTube accounts(2 dislikes)

[ejcmoorhouse]

@Rangeroversport12 yeah but 50 years down the line the toys will be worth more than the games

[Rangeroversport12]

@ejcmoorhouse i think you meant that reply to ultramsold

[ejcmoorhouse]

@Rangeroversport12 whoops!!?!

[kelvintwt]

@Rangeroversport12 the stig had one too..

[TheBelowAverageG4mer]

@Rangeroversport12 I dont normally vote on peoples comments, but your comment made me lol so much I had to give it a thumbs up. 

[pervin06]

@Rangeroversport12 looks like the stig has one now :)

[TheCarguy974]

@Rangeroversport12 In fact one of them must have hit the dislike button again

[03iamhopeless]

@Rangeroversport12 and the STIG :D

[ultramsold]

I think video games are the best because these toys are a bit boring after 2-3 months.

[codemannz]

I think that this was their most successful episode considering the problems they had in the others.

[startwiththeballs]

what a fucking epic show, awesome

[LimaGTV6]

boring!



[chaosprovido]

watching james may tv program is so addicting specially im still young at heart even im already a teenager!!

[Slowshyy]

Highly recommend subscribing to pully! Great videos!

[trainrockdude]

I once had a scalextric but i moved on to Hornby BUT NOW I WANT WANT NOW!

trainrockdude.

[Sprinkles12345]

"shall i deshoe?"

hahaha james may ftw

[thefungarian]

@1910887 that's not it. but thanks for trying.

[TheTerminator248]

you are never too old for toys

[dehartfan13]

is there a scalextric model of the nurburgring? that would be cool

[fairyheli2]

I am the modern 70s kid

[ipoodman]

song in the intro?

[thefungarian]

Anyone know what those classic cars in the parking lot are? 6:58

[222raf]

@thefungarian

I'm not 100% sure but I think they may be AC Ace's (which later was developed into the AC Cobra)

As I say not completely sure, I'm not a car expert and its not to good a picture

[thefungarian]

@222raf You led me onto the right track, thanks!

Upon further investigation, they look to be AC Ace Bristol's, produced from 1956-62.

[crazydud150]

i love scalextrics vote up if u do too !!!!!!!!

[ShockingFlameOfMW2]

#LOL i bet on topgear when he drove the catdalac ( srry dunno how 2 spell) he mustve had more fun!

[dalejrfanfreak]

Thanks for posting this! I don't have TV and since I am building a scalextric race track for the hobby store I work at this is very inspiring! :D

[Jermeister]

@dalejrfanfreak You my friend, have a job that one can only dream about. =)

[dalejrfanfreak]

@Jermeister lol now if I could only get paid a lot more so I could just do that until the day I die! ;)

[RayMerrell68]

@soureysen The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. From the Rumours album. Possibly one of the best albums ever.

It has been used by the BBC for their Grand Prix coverage since I can remember. (and its on YouTube)

[WildWelshWitch]

maybe the british public could get together and do the silverstone racetrack? How awesome would that be?

[Hanske90]

This is much better than the last top gear season. James is the best!

[BenFosterification]

james genuinely has the most successful and diverse career out of the 3 of them.

[DemXL]

i wonder where james gets his shirts???

[BRAZMAN500]

the lego house is awsome!

[Femmenition]

I know how this feels. Many of yesterdays railways are now lost to housing estates, main roads and the lile. It's sad!

[StickMovies101]

thanks pully87

[EatmyDust1311]

the first ever NASCAR track? yup, its British

[B789c]

9:37 he was going so fast he went air born lol

[halethewhale]

it's a really strange feeling when you stand on the banks of brooklands

[DocWolph]

@halethewhale

Like standing in an ancient ruin. You feel everything it was all at once. You either want to explode with giddy excitement or remain in shushed reverence of it all. At least I do, happens at old WW2 airfields and some old forts.

[Samuellx3]

Bit of a slap at 2:26 xD

[elldabest55]

so sad about brooklands i was standing on the bank yesterday :'(

[spheresector]

thanks alot Jereon, as a FM fan i am abit disapointed i didnt figure it out myself.

[MattMK45]

imagine the nurburgring in scalextric, maybe i could do my own little race thingy lol

[AppleScruffWitch]

@MattMK45 You should give it a shot!

[volante8657]

@MattMK45 this is indeeed more like the Pan-American Highway

[thefilmmakerpro]

@MattMK45 I think that is a great idea! Shame it would cost so much!

[ChuteSpades]

@MattMK45 i have 20 vaccum formed cars in NY if you have a track to race them... it would be new to me. they were my uncles. he went to woodstock. I'm only 28. I was never allowed to touch these thinkgs as a kid for fear I'd destroy them I suppose. m What the hell, Let's race'em!!

[salemcripple]

@MattMK45 that's what i thought he was going to say when he first started talking about the "one track" that wasn't in that book.

[donwonjon420]

@MattMK45 If you have 13 miles of land to use, go for it

[calumsensible]

@MattMK45 good luck with that, to do silverstone you need a 10ft by 16ft square, so to do Nurburgring you would be talking about 100ft

[slytherinsheirx]

@MattMK45 You'd be able to do a Murray Walker! 'And it's Go! Go! Go!'

[rhesuskongen]

@MattMK45

Cool and possible idea

[kieran007711]

@MattMK45 i'll help u :)

[jamesvozar1]

@MattMK45 just said that one sec before reading your comment

[jeroen79]

Fleetwood Mac - The chain

[AIzero1]

I've been annoyed about this for ages.......

what is the name of the music at 3:10

[jhorsfield3]

Nice one, thanks

[TheLowtec]

thanks - awsome!

[Ida667]

Thank you so much for posting this as it comes out! Not easy to find anywhere else when you live in Norway :P hehe

[calvin950]

@Ida667 Here in America too. We have BBC America but the content is limited and its far behind. I would gladly pay for the full BBC channels but that is sadly NOT an option. Depressing really. But I have my ways of staying up todaye ;)

[Rotard12a]

Ditto.  They have to butcher 15 minutes out of every 60 minute show to stick commercials in, and they invariably cut good stuff.

[AlexisMedici]

@Ida667 More like Snoreway. Harr Harrrr.

[buro28]

Thanks for the videos, you're awesome :)

[MarkGoodwin09]

ha, ive been lookin for part 2 then noticed this was only posted an hour ago.....
