The pair worked alongside Richard Hammond on the BBC show as well as Prime Video’s The Grand Tour for 22 years but called time on the collaboration last year.
One final episode of The Grand Tour was released last September which saw the trio travel to Zimbabwe as well as return to Botswana.
Despite going their separate ways professionally, the trio still take the time to meet up with one another as Richard Hammond recently visited James May’s pub in Wiltshire.

In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Mr May revealed that he had met up with Mr Clarkson recently.
The 62-year-old said: “I saw Jeremy recently. He seemed all right. We just seem older.
“We’re not natural friends. That’s actually why it worked.
“I often looked back at Top Gear and The Grand Tour and thought in many ways I didn’t really belong on it but that’s exactly why I was on it.

“It needed one of each of us for it to work.”
James May co-owns The Royal Oak pub in Swallowcliffe but is yet to visit Mr Clarkson’s own Oxfordshire watering hole, The Farmer’s Dog.
The 64-year-old’s former co-star is banned from the pub with a barred list at the entrance to the boozer sporting both Mr May’s name as well as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
