James May opens the weirdest fan mail yet! | Mail Time Ep.3 

*throws out 13 year old kids heart filled letter due to lack of time* *reads a woolworths rejection letter multiple times and does an in-depth analysis* May is savage!

Some say that camera is still trying to focus on the coin

"I know your only 14 but you have to get used to a lifetime of disappointment" 🤣🤣

Hello James, I'd love the sweater. I would wear it while ruining little kids dreams just like you did in this video.

you've got to love how James gives away a tight on money 13 year old's precious little toy cars, and then throws his letter in the bin without reading it.

“Oh no, me cats died! What should I do? I know, bung it’s whiskers in a box and ship it off to James May!”

When James screwed up that kids letter 😂😂 Absolutely brutal

I'd like the coin so I can actually see what's on it

I’m not sure what’s odder.. sending the whiskers of a deceased cat to James May to open on camera. James May smelling the whiskers.. or May regifting a deceased cats whiskers to a fan

3:20 "I'm 13." "Congratulations Matthew."

I would like the little model cars because I’m about Hammond’s height.

"You have to get used to a life of disappointment, that's the way it goes" - JM 2019

9:55 - The camera crew are as skilled at close ups of coins as they are catching animals on drives.

I'd like to have the sweater so I can mail it to hammond, he should be small enough to wear it, Maybe I'll even fireproof it first cause you know...

I’ve been rejected from every university and job that I have ever been interested in. I would like to nab that letter so that I would own a rejection letter that I didn’t earn. Thanks Mr. May

I want the old churchill coin so i can play heads or tails with two heads

Bellend In A Bottle - The new line of men's aftershave by Jeremy Clarkson

Send me the sweater and I might reconsider your application for the Clitheroe branch of Woolworths! Yours sincerely Jamie Smith.

The way he yeeted that broken computer fan into the garbage 😂

14:07 *automatically assumes any package from California must be weed* haha 🤣

man: sends broken computer fan james may: is this politically motivated?

May. When you put your glasses on you look like my teacher. Also my teacher is an old woman.

I love how frankly yet respectfully he handled that 14 year old's letter. At first I was like, omg James you're crushing this child's dreams, but then you saved it.

I like how James throws away letters from kids

Dear James May, I happen to notice that Matthew’s cars are a perfect fit for Hammond,it also contains a Porsche and a Land Rover,two cars that Hammond loves. I would like to have them before Hammond finds them and crashes them while driving down a hill Sincerely, Ayush

I will do a full video of the coin at 9:55 for all the DRIVETRIBE viewers to see what it actually looks like! Haha! Thanks for reading out the letter. :)

I’ve seen May in that shirt since 2009 Top Gear

TIMESTAMP 10:02 "Dear Mr. Cameraman, Thank you for your interest in learning how the manual focus button on the camera works. Unfortunately, you haven't been successful on this occasion. Please raise your game. Regards, Mr. May"

Weed definitely played a role to that Californian mail.

*Receiving a bullet in the mail* Normal people: AH SOMEONES OUT FOR ME James May: Oh that's interesting. Might be a tracer by the looks of it

3:04 The way he says, " A letter that I have just sliced in half" is just hilarious

"I'd like the shirt, please" - Richard Hammond

😂😂 I love how he just bins the junk

I love the rejection letter. Like someone at the company spotted the stack of them and thought "hey, this might be a funny thing to send to James May's Mail Time". The fact it's a pre-made letter with blanks to fill in a name adds even more to the ridiculousness of it.

The cat whiskers from 'The Wards' has got to be the most random thing. James was so baffled reading the letter too! haha

15:43 Understatement of the century.

I need that sweater to look slow even when I'm driving too fast. (Don't worry, I don't speed. I'll look slow and be reasonably slow.)

4:14 It's a 918 Spyder and by calling it a GT you hurt my feelings.

"You have to get use to a life of disappointment, it's the way it goes" - James May, 2019

James, I just love the way you throw the crap away, especially the fan and end off the video. haha legend.

'May'l time... Bet you haven't heard that one before....😁

“may” i have the small porsche because it’s not a carrera gt it’s a 918 concept

James wearing that jumper since 180 years🤣

*chucks into the bin* "Thanks for watching!"

I'd like to have the sweater so that I could make my mates jealous with my impeccable fashion sense.

I would like the £2 coin to give as a present for my grandad. He has collected coins all his life and I know he hadent got that one.

"So I can return it to Steve again." :D Genius. :)

Thank you so much, this made me laugh so hard I started crying! Please keep doing these amazing mail time videos!

Dearest james may, please send me the pink-purplish stripes jumper. I want to go to a costume party as a captain slow lookalike

"I've decided to give the duck to... Duck Callum. Wait no..."

the kitty whiskers is sincere, collected lovingly over 20 years :) I find em from time to time from my cat. she must shed them naturally, I save them, as I want to make a paintbrush with them one day with bamboo. and sign my paintings with her unique paint brush=^..^= shes always playing with my brushes cute like. Oh kitties

The bullet appears to be a 7.62mm (I'd say 150 grain ) bullet that does not have a "full metal jacket", but is only partially jacketed in copper. The dark material visible at the rear is the interior lead of the bullet. Tracer rounds have an orange tip at that caliber (generally)

19:48 When he’s had enough

"James May answers letters from 13 year old fans of the old Top Gear" Ep. 3 can't wait for the next one

I would like the Woolworths rejection letter as I am 16 and applying for jobs at the moment and they all regret to inform me that I have not been successful

After seeing the cat whiskers, I was thinking the envelope in an envelope was going to be someone’s dead bird!😂🤣

I would be honored to win that shirt as i am currently running the subreddit dedicated to comparing your shirts to curtains. Winning that shirt would be an honor! Edit: Because so many asked, here’s a link to the subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/jamescurtainclothes/

When you're dealing with the general public James, it's gonna get weird.

“Open with blunt knife” Well, get Jeremy in there!

I absolutely love that James knows the difference between a "bullet," & a "cartridge." James, I would literally be ecstatic to receive anything from you, even the dead cats whiskers. Please send me something.

10:01 Oh , Come on .. Focus it , you Bellend !

Gotta love James and his brutal way of dealing with the mail... :)

May really took "Too nice to each other" to heart 😂🤣😂🤣

I love his reactions to the mail he gets! hahahaha

Dear James May. I'd like the broken laptop fan beca- oh...

I’m watching this picturing Jeremy Clarkson roasting James the whole time.

Anyone else loving the subtle camera zoom on May during the cat whiskers?

Him reading the cat whisker note and realizing what was in the box was priceless.

A lot of strange people with a lot of time on their hands out there...

Hello Glad to see James liked my dyslexic writing .henshaw.

James May, his actions and the comments he makes me laugh so much!

i can imagine all the work and love put into these gifts and james just chucks them in the bin. ruthless.

9:53 fantastic camera work there, well done!

I would like the 'James May' replacement sweater to give to my Komondor puppy - who wishes to look more like James May.

It may have taken a decade, but the mail time format has finally been perfected. By James May. What a world.

love this guy all these years all the differnt shows now this thanks so much.. funny and interesting...

I need the sweater so i can tell my daughter that im James May

"yer whisker kitty' is an underappreciated old-timey reference to one's minge.

Clipping hair and whiskers from pets is based off of the English tradition of clipping a loved ones hair from Victorian times. The clippings would oft be used to make a locket, an artistic collage, or some similar small object which one could keep and view on a regular basis as a remembrance. My family is Scotch-Irish-English and still carry on the tradition to this day, though typically we don't make anything out of the clippings but rather include them in a remembrance book with photos, letters, and other small personal items of the deceased.

"Trite bollocks about teamwork". Yes. Explains those posters so well.😂😂😂

Watch pocket James. It's a watch pocket. ;-)

OMG So early. James keep being awesome. I'll never get anything from this show though cause I live in Australia.

Haha I love how he tried to make sense of The last piece of mail from someone that was probably well, you know. And then throws it away! Hahaha

The famous pink jumper!!!!he still has it yaaaaaaay

I love all celebrities moving to RU-vid! Thanks James, this is amazing

id like to have the letter from woolworths because my brother got denied of a job there, thought it would be jokes, cheers.

I really like the large trash can (sorry, rubbish bin) alongside the desk. When I get my own office next year I shall consider installing a similar one next to my desk.

Steve will get the same duck back but now with sentimental value so he will keep it. An excellent idea

4:34, it’s a 918 spyder, not a carrera gt. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’d like those three little cars to add to my collection of my many cars. Thank you.

That sweater reminds me of the cat in alice in wonderland

I like pink and purple. The shirt would fit me! Huge Grand Tour fan! James May is the best, and when I think of the show from BBC, I remember this classic shirt.

Fantastic format. Slot machine with each envelope and then another with what James does with it after opening it.

Dear James May I would appreciate the rejection letter from Woolworths as I have just recently gained a position as an apprentice technician at Mercedes Benz! It's a 3 year course and I have college work within it as part of my learning. I think the letter would keep me from slacking as so far I am enjoying the job position a lot more than intisipated. Sincearly, Alexander P.S I am glad to see your hair back!

4:23 that ain’t no gt that’s a 918

This is the most savage mail time I've ever seen. But I bet in reality for folks that get a lot of it, and don't open it on camera, the reaction can be similar. After awhile you can't keep everything :). Dang though, tossing the little kids letters :)

I love the way some stuff hits the bin!!!!!- Bob H.

I have been rejected from Woolworths and I would like this letter as compensation. Thank you Captain Slow.

Hello Mr May, after watching the recent mail time I would like to plead my case for the purple and pink shirt you received from Japan. it would be my pleasure to have that in my possession because as it stands, you are my favorite motoring presenter and I have held you in high regard for 20 years. Thank you for your consideration.

James May. I am your biggest fan from the United States. My daughter ooints this out in the form of staying all I used to watch is top gear. But when I started to try and teach her piano recently and showed her your man rendition on the organ you played she laughed. She is 14. I want your purple and pink shirt. It would and honour as I have faithfully loved man lab, things you need to know and toy stories. Kids these days lol. Haha 👍👍👍teach them a thing or two. Your the man James 👍

i cant believe i actually watched ALL of this video!
