James May: James May's Big Ideas - Page 3

My goodness, did he cut his hair, or did their stylist just worked some serious magic that made him look like less of a talking mop?

...And I loved the health and safety dig at the end. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Thanks for the scans, mayhem! Everyone's been posting scans of the cover and such but you're the first one who actually bothered to scan the entire article! This Canadian thanks you. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

LindenChase · September 28th, 2008, 8:24 AM

Some more information about the Ekranpolan that James will be flying/driving in tonight's episode. Including three clips.

I like how in the second one he is fly-driving the thing at high speed and than asks "Okay, how do I stop?" images/smilies/biggrin.gif

A couple of articles/interviews,

Hopefully someone will post it for people, like me, who lives outside UK.

I somehow don't think that is going to be a problem. images/smilies/whistling.gif

I'm quite looking forward to this, James seems to make the effort to actually understand the topics which he discusses, rather than relying on researches to write a script (i'm looking at you Hammond's Engineering Connections!).

Well I added "James May*" to my RSS so hopefully RiVER does it and I don't have to get it off mininova like I had to for oz and james.

So I'm a bit of a interwebs novice. What does that ^^ mean?

teeb · September 28th, 2008, 10:13 PM

Missed the first fifteen minutes - my beloved ekranoplan! - but the rest was really good stuff; enjoyed it greatly.

Mike Bull · September 28th, 2008, 10:15 PM

Fantastic stuff, enjoyed every minute- nice one James!

AND we got to see him flying his Decathlon G-OCOK!

LindenChase · September 28th, 2008, 10:17 PM

I really liked James's utter joy of flying all those weird flying machines. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

And there were so many funny quips, I probably need to watch it a dozen times before I pick them al up. images/smilies/lol.gif

*drumming fingers on desk*

ANYbody have a line on a feed for this yet?

Cobol74 · September 28th, 2008, 11:39 PM

That bloody rocket pack - sod that for a lark, I would not fly with that on. Loved the Russian Ekranpolan- especially when they let him have a go which was brilliant!

Car/Plane thingy was nice too.

I love the May, not too sure that I loved this.

Tim0r · September 28th, 2008, 11:51 PM

Seasonone · September 28th, 2008, 11:58 PM

weak sct let me down, they have strictly come dancing, Agatha Christies Poirot, and Tess Of The D'Urbervilles but no James May!!! The last 2 are even from RiVER who usually take care of Top Gear/Fifth Gear.
