James May in Los Angeles

Dicey · November 8th, 2008, 2:45 AM

Hey guys,

I know, I don't post much (at all), but I thought I had to pass this one on. Today, my dad was doing a news piece on the Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell and was getting ready to shoot the live portion at the Santa Monica Hydrogen station. There was another crew there at the pump with a Honda FCX Clarity with none other than James May there as the on camera talent. I found out about this shortly after GM retrieved the Equinox from my dad this afternoon. This can be confirmed because of a discussion between my dad and one of the producers who mentioned it was for Top Gear. So, James May has a segment coming up on the Clarity, most likely sometime this season. Thought I'd let you all know.

He did mention a Hydrogen car segment in America on a radio interview, I think. Nice find.

TG wrote about it in the recent mag, so we know... images/smilies/smile.gif

thevictor390 · November 8th, 2008, 2:53 AM

If I subscribed to TG mag it would cost about the same per issue as a yearly subscription of something else images/smilies/sad.gif

EDIT: That was unclear... 1 issue of TG mag would cost the same as 1 year of another mag

Damn, he was here is SoCal?

I'm guessing this was the Shell station with the hydrogen filling station

So how much is hydrogen per gallon?

Dicey · November 8th, 2008, 3:19 AM

At this point they don't have price, since none of the people driving them are paying for the Hydrogen.

edkwon,

That's the station I'm talking about.

lol I want to move to LA and drive a hydrogen fuelled car...

Pretty cool story btw.

guess this is the thread to post such things.
Top Gear BBC just shot an episode here in Cali featuring the Honda Hydrogen Fuel Cell car..
and a very close (and very hot) friend of mine is in the segment with him with a few other girls
(my friend is the brunette on his left)

Good find, although if I had friends that hot I don't think I'd ever need the internet again. images/smilies/wink.gif

The blonde looks a bit like Sarah Carter ("Shark" and "DOA") and the brunette you mention reminds me a bit of Eliza Dushku.
