‘ery noice.

Just about perfect lair.

Absolutely have a model railway. But Richard should have the choice of what trains run on it >:D

Tell Mike to build his own clubhouse / 'man cave' for his toy trains. Or tell him to go & pester James May as he loves children's toys & has a train set-up. Your space is for your grown ups boys toys 😁

air bnb hammond?

Thanks for sharing this, mate. Lovely to hear but extremely sorry for your loss. ❤️

your dad had a beautiful taste, I am sorry for your loss, may you always remember him and everything he stood for. Kind regards mate

whas that wooden boat model the 1 they game him in the philipines?

@@bobedwards8896 Nah, it's not even a sailboat.

@@bobedwards8896 you mean vietnam special, where they use motorcycles.

The boat is from the start of his and Jeremy's best trip without James may it started in that boat in Venice

How many times did you have to extracate Richard from a burning vehicle? 😂 On another note, thanks for saving peoples’ lives. That’s an honorable profession.

Liar

Managed to stay pretty busy then, eh?

lame joke

@@user-ud3ce9vr2c Actually it sounds very much like something Terry Pratchett would have written which works for me.

respect to dufenshmirts

My thought as well. Just cover with some nice decking. If you used that manufactured wood you wouldn’t even need to drain it for worries of moisture. Maybe rust though. If chlorine

I could see how the moisture would be a problem but how cool would it be to leave the water and then make a clear platform with LEDs lighting up the pool to illuminate the bikes from underneath.

Display for favorite bike at that time. :)

Absolutely, a glass floor over the water and having it lit from the water with bikes or potentially cars but might be too heavy and too big, but it would look amazing. Plus like said it can be reversible and will help resale value. 🎉😊

he's spent his whole life being destructive and wasteful, why stop now....

The choice was between stray cats and stray motorcycyles. He chose wisely.

Even have motorcycle food bowls with oil set out under\for them xD

@@Nicmadis Only the British ones! ;) (Goes and checks the drip trays on my BSA's)...

it´s so selfless of him to give them shelter

@John Jones I am editing this, as I now get it hahaha! You had a dealer say that to you years ago! Ok, now I get it! Its true though! I am trying to make mine oil tight, and its proving to be elusive!

This is such a clever idea to make use of the space (if you must have a train set) whilst retaining the Spa should the family ever decide to re-use in years to come …

...or have the model railway suspended from the ceiling in this room and if you ever going to use the pool again, you could use a pully to lift the "railway table". Maybe combine it to be a trick cover for the pool as well.

That’s a fantastic idea! Especially cuz I want him to keep the messanine for art and music

This is brilliant.

It’s a great idea but it’s too James May-ish 😂😂

not sure If he can get further than UKposts, he'd never make it on the telly box :)

@@SoSimonSays Yes, I mean not without a slow captain and a grumpy farm boy.

I mean obviously he would need years to get into a tv show, he's just starting up!

never thought I’d feel this way seeing a burnt mitten.

Same

hamster will be amused for a day and then start plotting to accidently blow it up ok the latter maybe is more like clarksons role but still he might secretly engage him to do it for him.

Yes build a model railway but don't let Richard put coins on the line in tunnels so you don't notice to derail the trains or something 😂😂

@@CustomiZe_ A Scalextric track surely!

It just needs to be made.. functional. So a large enough gauge to carry freight. Then track side "water" towers that the old steam locos used, except these may smell strangely of gin. Wagons could carry flagons, but not to scale. Unless you were planning on pickling an entire village. Other wagons could carry dry goods from convenient silos. Like nuts, M&Ms etc. Log haulers could carry a selection of sausages, and if the topology allows, a small dumb waiter down to the kitchen for delivery of burgers, hot dogs etc. Some model railway enthusiast somewhere on the web probably already has a suitable control/signalling system to manage snack & beverage delivery or there's always James. And possibly a few videos to be made from the construction and testing.. Might need to make sure any bar stools at the stations aren't able to transfer guests from mezzanine to ground floor, should they become gravitationally challenged. Or fit seatbelts.

James + Mike + Model railway, i dont care if the video is an hour long, i will watch it!

The world needs communism 😅

​@@doubleL_S Ask the ex-Soviets how that worked out, lol!

@@illuminati955 communism comes after capitalism.

@@doubleL_S ...have you even read marx, lol. communism is the end stage of socialism, when the state has withered away - it is naturally and dialectically opposed to capitalism

@@illuminati955 but it first needs many years of capitalism to succeed and be sustainable. I.e the middle class gets robbed and moved into the lower classes.

And the caboose on fire!! 😂

yasssss

😂😂 definitely

You sir, are a genius. Should have the Hogwarts Express train on the set

Ooh get you knowing art

A pleasant surprise, but a welcome one.

Hammond appeared on Phineas and Ferb, makes sense the favor would be returned

If I had a nickel for every time Doofenschmirtz and Hammond were both in what I was watching I would have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it is weird it happened twice

Been scrolling a while looking for this comment😂

Yep - totally agree. His taste is very similar to mine (except he has the wherewithal to realise his dreams haha).

It's actually Bollitree Castle in Ross-on-Wye, Wales. Look it up. Since it's protected, he and Mindy had to get special permission to do much of the work.

@@soulcornflake1 probably why it’s taken 15 years

what a load of ..... he knows full well what he has through acting the way he does! as for loved hahahaha wake up and smell the money lol

You think?

This is a joke, right?

Sycophant.

He's excited about his home and happy to show it. Bravo, so he should, it's very very cool.

Humble is not a word I would use to describe him.

@@NoName-ql1wk you should listen to the diary of a ceo podcast with Richard as the guest :)

Mate of you think that is what humble looks like...

Absolutely, if you could you would fair play to him.

Go give them a head

A house and outbuildings that size would take me two lifetimes especially with all the toys in it .

scalextric would be much more fun

@@bensaunders1567 Agree, but if there has to be a railway then the scalextric needs to run in and around the railway setup.

The Top Gear studio from the 2000s had them.

A big Scalextric track would fit better imo!

Exactly, surprised not many comments about it too

With a transportation system for gin like James may has

@@fatmunch6318 I was just thinking May would be over to supervise.

would be nice to incorporate a slot car race track into it for fun.

Yes, and Hammond can invite James May to play with the train set. That would be a treat! 💯

@@FLAMABBLEMay would find something not to like about it.

let the bike sneaking in & out🤭

That was my thinking, give the bikes a stage to sneak onto

Yeah I was thinking build a frame/solid pool cover strong enough to keep a few bikes on top.

You seriously believe he went anywhere near a toolkit?😂

This is proffesionaly renovated, he might have pushed a bike into place but I even doubt it. He says 15 years into the making, this thing in this state is a month or two for a professional. It's big, so maybe a bit more but that's it. There is not that much decorum, really they did not spent that much time in this place. It's so "new" there is even paint on the floor in the rooms corridor mate (look at 9:45). There are visible cut cables in some places ... Don't believe everything they say x) Might takes 15 years yeah, but because he's too busy doing things everywhere but certainly not time to actually DO this place.

Why? They keep getting sacked. They have lots of time

But haven’t mentioned their name lol.

@@mattmorris2867 sorry I think it was Lucas Motor Cycles in Ross on Wye.

Put fish in the pool. Maybe piranhas.
