James May, on the other hand.....

[Globalti]

...is a genuinely decent, modest bloke.

You'll enjoy this short film about one of his challenges. I love the way he inspires and gently joshes the kids, it's clear to see they really like him.

He is the brainy one out of all of them,i like all his own programmes he has done away from Top Gear,especially the one where he flew in a U-2 spyplane.Seen his 1-1 scale Spitfire at RAF Cosford,it's just brilliant !

he gets my vote over clarkson and the other idiot

James writes an absolutely piss poor column in the Telegraph Motoring supplement which sort of gives the game away - he's an affable personality with little substance.

I was a bit concerned on Top Gear the other night when he suggested people go to Lidl's or Aldi, buy cheap cycle locks and use them on random cycles locked again railings - more than a bit naughty !!!!

No subtlety. At least when I did that in <cough> 1964, I just swapped half a dozen locks around in the school bike shed. They all had those Halfords cylinder locks, which anyone over six could open in ten seconds, but the amusement was that they all thought they had simply forgotten the combination.

.....And if he did that then I'd happily kick the s**t out of him, stupid floppy haired twunt.

He's better than Vernon Kay.

That's not much of a compliment!

I like James May's curiosity and understated charm.... he's a great presenter.

A bit of trivia, my daughters best mate from college was the barmaid who held up the flower basket when he was hanging the bracket with his swiss army bike a few weeks ago.
