Greg is the real deal, and he cares about his audience. The passion for radio, for mental health and welfare, and for cars should make us all proud!

@TheLateBrakeShow I'm not a Radio 1 listener, but I became aware of Greg recently when pictures of him and his M5 came up on my Twitter, my respect for him went through the roof after that and having watched this episode he strikes me as a top bloke

Spot on Greg is so humble and selfless too. I have listened to him since when Fen cotton,Reggie Yates and Chris Moyles were still on radio 1 they used to Mock Greg James there was a time when Reggie Yates was mocking him on BBC three Big weekend but what I admire is the fact that Greg is so humble and he just does things in a selfless manner . Now Yates is history but Greg is the Head of BBC BIG WEEKEND now.

I’ve suddenly gained a lot more respect for Greg James

Greg is one of those down to earth blokes who also happens to be well known and well liked. His three main hobbies, as it were, are also mine. I always wanted to be a DJ but never got past the mobile disco phase. I like this M5 version and thought they'd all perished.

Totally agree, he's not let fame get over his head and is still a human unlike the vast amount of "celebrities" we currently have who flash their cash about on social media and have done nothing to account to their fame.

My respect for Greg has just gone up further than it already was. I love him on the radio and I’m a massive petrol head who’s also into retro German cars. My dad had an e34 528i when I was in my teens. My first car in 2006 was an e36 318is saloon which were quite rare. And I totally agree with you that bmw know how to make a 6 pot! The s54 in the e46 m3 is a masterpiece!

"well thats killed it!" lol 🤣😂🤭

Hi Jonny, in my humble, this is one of your best videos. I am so happy Greg said what he did at the end. What you do and the way you deliver it is top notch. Every time you post a new video I can not wait to watch it. Thank you so much. 😊

This was one of the greatest things i have seen on youtube! I've been an avid listener of Radio 1 since about 1990, the school commute, and Greg James is my favourite presenter thus far. Thanks Johnny 👌👍

Really enjoyed that. Nice chat. Two nice guys. Even at 45 I still listen to radio 1 and even listened to Greg when he was on early breakfast.

What a brilliant video! So cool to hear of Greg's interests, and love the love-in of old Renaults! I hope you can do more videos together in future, this is Greg's calling!

I feel like I’ve seen myself reflected back at me in this video. So much has resonated. What a completely lovely thing to watch.

Great video, could watch and listen to these two all day! Loving the reasoning and choice of car. I can't unsee the falling apart door card though!!

Best episode so far. Greg is such a humble guy.

Probably the best late-brake episode, certainly the first one I have watched start to finish. Well done guys.

I had zero idea! Massive props Greg, especially for owning the best M car ever made. EDIT: I own an E34 540i, but a Renault Safrane BiTurbo is a bucketlist car!

Greg is a proper gent. I'm completely out of the target audience for radio 1 but tune in every morning. I thought this was a really well put together video. Nice work, especially the opening titles.

What an excellent video! Completely surprising insight in to Greg, lots of relevant topics, down to earth chat, inappropriate jokes and 90s obscure chat. Thanks both!!

Brilliant! Top chap Greg 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Thanks for all the great work Johnny 👍🏼

Another great show, just enjoy watching these as it’s just like chatting with your mates on cars and enjoying talking rubbish at times too. Keep up the great work 🙂

Wonderful interview. I also listen to Greg most mornings, what a lovely lad, interviewed by an equally lovely lad. Really pleased to hear Greg is also a car enthusiast. Thanks for putting this together Jonny!

What a brilliant chat. I listen to Greg everyday and this resonates so much with me. My earliest memories are being in my Dad’s Vauxhall Carlton listening to Chris Moyles, Sara Cox, Scott Mills on Radio 1. I used get home from school out Scott Mills on off of Radio 1 and play driving video games for hours.

What a lovely, warm, honest chat. We need to encourage more man chat like this, it's therapy.

That was awesome, just a great chat on life, cars, hobbies and much more plus the end had me crying with laughter!

Love these idol chats. Great interview format, catching the guest slightly off guard whilst talking about something theyre very passionate about. Brilliant!

Great video. Feels like I’m listening to a couple of mates chatting about cars from the 90s

So good i watched it twice, back to back.

Really appreciated this one. He seems so normal and so down to earth.

Loved this episode!!! Great stuff Jonny and nice to see Greg too!

Brilliant episode, Jonny! What a top bloke Greg is. And…. What a fantastic taste in cars he has! Thank you for making videos like this, Jonny!

Greg is the only one left that i listen to on radio 1. Had no idea he was into his cars👌

What a lovely bloke! I’m in the radio 2 stage of life now, so knew nothing of him beyond his name, but that was a great interview. Top stuff. 👍

Loved the passion and enjoy the hard work that brought you to the M5

Absolutely fabulous Video. Well done Jonny. Enjoying the uncensored nature of the dialogue too. 10/10

This was great, massive fan of Greg, he's just the most likeable chap and I always listen to his show when I can. Didn't know he was into cars... what a pair of great guys. Only started watching The Late Brake Show around 6 months ago, but always been a fan of Jonny since Max Power days and glad the mag still gets a mention from time to time 😘

Give Jonny, Sniff and Greg a show. That's the car show we need.

Another brilliant watch Jonny! I've listened to Greg James for years now and these days he's all I really listen to on radio one. Always wondered what the connection was I'd felt but now this explains it, a fellow petrol head!

This is great. Down to earth bloke and after listening to Greg for years never knew his passion for cars and what a fantastic car to have.

Great video. Funnily enough some of my fondest memories are of Greg’s Friday Night Dance Anthems shows from a few years ago, being driven home by my Dad after my driving lessons, full of optimism day dreaming about first cars. Those were the days.

Always really liked Greg James, used to listen to him on the radio back when Chris Moyles was doing the breakfast show. You could always tell Greg was just a truly lovely person. Really enjoyed this interview, looking forward to seeing what you both get up to in the future!

What a pleasure to watch, absolutely wonderful.

I listen to Greg most mornings as I drive my van to work. I had no idea he was a petrol head. I'm like him in many ways, I have a passion for Renaults, my first car was a Clio too. I've always wanted a ride on lawn mower. As a kid I would love looking through car magazines. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it and I now feel like Greg James is even more of a national treasure, despite the unusual choice of attire at times. Ha ha!

Great video as always. Love watching and that dirty speed bump !! I know the exact one lol it hurts lol. Keep up the good work 👏

Love this. Brilliant Video, Brilliant passion and Greg is awesome. One thing to change. Original period font dealer number plates 👌

Great video and one of my fav all time M cars. Nice one guys

Such a lovely interview!

Great video! Really enjoyed that. The time flew by

A friends mum had one of these brand new when I was growing up. Loved everything about it, the understated looks, the noise it made and the throwing star alloys. I remember being dropped to the school disco with return of the Mac playing as we pulled up. Felt so cool 😂 I would love to own one at some point.

Love this film. Two great speakers, one lovely old E34, and my home town. Cool.

Always liked Greg on the radio. Now I like him even more. Thanks for the upload. Great content

Love your music choice to your videos. Always very fitting. Bloody brilliant 😊

Thank you v much. This is down to our brilliant editors.

Great as always. You were literally on our doorstep! And that speed hump is unforgiving!!

What a remarkably candid and thoughtful man Greg is. Although I am a "youth" I don't tune in to Radio 1 due to the music, however, I would listen to him all day. There is something refreshingly relatable about him and I can tell how humble he his. As far as I am concerned, it is not boasting if it is something you are genuinely passionate about, and I know that as a Renault Safrane enjoyer, he is a man of exceptional taste. Did you tell him about the Irmscher-tuned Renault Safrance BiTurbo? That would be worth a French collection caper Really touching Film Jonny, Greg is a wonderful chap and I am glad classic cars have really made a difference in his life, that's what they are about.

E34 - best car BMW ever made. Gorgeous. They drive lovely, too.

Genuinely one of my favourite videos I’ve watched in a long time

Blair, thanks!

My mum also had one of these when I was younger seeing the interior brings back memories and also realising the rear seat belts came from the inside and clipped in on the outer.

I have a really special connection to the E34. I had an E34 as my first car, and then I ended up buying a second one after being absolutely distraught that my first one got rear ended. I always wanted to own the M5 or a touring 540i 6 speed, and there's thankfully still time I can satisfy those dreams. Greg's M5 is gorgeous, and he also got the correct turbine covers. Love me some throwing stars!

I started a new job as a service engineer on the day the first Covid lockdown was announced (23rd March 2020). Due to a large amount of employees being furloughed and me being a new starter, I was covering many areas/regions across the North of the UK, driving several hours a day. Especially Greg but all of the Radio 1 day time presenters were a constant in my life from Monday-Friday for the best part of 2 and a half years through the majority of all the lockdowns. As like many others, I suffered through some hardships during the lockdowns and it was difficult day in, day out, listening to awful news on the radio about what covid was doing to the world and it got me quite down. Greg always had a knack of keeping my spirits up with his ridiculousness and always seemed positive despite what was going on. I never realised how much of a car nerd he was so to find that out makes me appreciate him all that more. Don’t know if you’ll ever see this Greg but you’re a top bloke and keep being you and can’t wait to see what whacky stuff you’ll be bringing to the radio tomorrow! Thanks for bringing Greg to the Late Brake Show Jonny, was a great watch 😁

Brilliant episode! Love Greg and the Late Brake Show! Nice to know I share similar German car intrestrest with him too! Top work guys!

I absolutely loved this episode! I’ve been a huge fan of Greg for years and I had no idea he was one of us.

What a fascinating chat with two fascinating people. I hope this isn't the last time we see you two together.

You both do a great job. My mum also had a B-reg Sunny. Hers was a red coupe, so there. That's a lovely looking E34 M5, digging the cloth interior. In period I thought they looked really big and heavy but, as you say, now they're juuust right. Not heavy but handsomely chiselled, much like myself.

Now love Greg James even more! Great video as always Jonny

Well that killed it 🤣 spat coffee out 🤣There has to be an Espace adventure now - Awesome Idol Chat

Like two mates in a pub talking.life and cars. Loved it. Greg is a top bloke and great choice of car.

Excellent as usual.

Greg is such a lovely chap. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

Great video and chat Jonny, funny, car-y and more funny. Winner.

What a pair of legends. Brilliant.

Great to watch, I have lots in common with you both, 90s Renaults are always going to be a favourite for me.

That was everything I thought it would be. What a down to earth guy Greg is and you can see why you two get on. Greg, if you read this, it's never to late to be a rally driver... Trust me. Great interview 👍🏻

Mad listened to him for years and never knew, what a guy 👍

Really pleasurable episode; Greg had very relatable childhood experiences and thoughts on cars growing up and now. Fab E34. My M5 is slightly older still!

What a wonderful episode. Excellent content plus it reminded me of my late parents who were both teachers and I the registration plate has my fathers initials DKL.

Great video, thank you.

Simply, 2 of my favourite people with a brilliant car

I’ve been listening to Greg since his early days on very early morning radio. He kept me company in my long commute in a shitty Fiat Stilo. What a motor. Back when Beemers really were the best. Great episode, Jonny

Love this. I have been into cars since my dad took me to scrap yards. Got obsessed by race cars, touring cars and rally cars in the 90s. I'm now into modified cars. I just love spending time with people who are into the same thing. Many an idea has been passed onto me by someone else who has been into the same things. Good on you Gregg 😄

The clip of Ronin at 28.00 gave me chills. Lovely car, great chat

Really enjoyed watching this! I've listened to Greg on Radio 1 for years (I'm 55, not sure what he'd think of that!!) and I didn't know he was a petrolhead. Thanks for making this video😊😊

I was not expecting Greg James on here! Love it

Best thing ive seen on KZread this month!

Thank you Jonny excellent interview.

That was such an uplifting video. Didn't really know or care about Greg. How wrong was I. He loves everything I do and all his stories ring true with me. Big love, and the M5 is gorgeous x

Cars and Radio 1, part of my youth. I'll never forget driving around north Wales in the early 00s during the summer holidays with my mom and dad. Listening to the brilliant Mark & Lard on Radio 1 in the afternoon.

Have to agree, Johnny does a great job with these videos 👍

Great video, e34 m5 was always my favorite. Interesting it's a 94 with the slim grill. Looks very clean!!

That was an absolute pleasure chaps.2 of my favourite people chatting about cars. 😀

That was bloody fantastic :-)

That was a really great watch Jonny, thanks, ..very sweet m5, Greg should have kept the beautiful Merc though! Quite insightful thoughts with his enjoyment of 'just' driving. Some quality chuckling to be had and a blossoming bromance was evident😊 I did laugh about the espace as I've got a glorious early Fiat Ulysse (ev1) that I like to refer to as a kidnappers or indeed a murderer's bus with its sliding doors and space without realising it was actually a potential selling point😀 also just picked up on the Ronin headlight flashes in the beginning montage on my second watch! Great car chase.👍

This is the most entertaining, watchable and honest car vid In ages. Bit of a car bromance here I think! A stunning M5 to boot!

What a decent couple of fellows!! Great video Jonny! Really look forward to a Sunday night LBS vid!!

Enjoyable chat, can relate to his childhood car nerdiness, and beautiful M5.

You are brilliant Jonny, thanks to Mrs Car Pervert and the team also.

That was brilliant! Greg seems to be the type of guy who could just sit and talk about any old car related stuff, without it needing to be about the latest Ferrari etc. Fantastic work as always Jonny!

As an American I’ve never heard of Mr. James, but I can see why he is a popular radio host. Very bright, very genuine, and just the right amount of nerdy car guy.

What a nice fella Greg James is! Absolute legend 👏

What a really humbling episode, I didn’t even know he was into cars and a nice chap, great video!

Yep genuinely enjoyed that. Excellent car choice Greg
