Fit Like
Posted on March 27, 2008 by scottthedot
We are thinking of starting our own magazine filled with celebrity photos and of course ourselves. It will be called ‘Fit Like?’

So far this trip we have met Penn & Teller, Fergie (from Black Eyed peas), Bob Eubanks (game show host) and been on the set of Numb3rs but today was the piece-of-resistance as we met a true British Icon, Top Gear’s very own Mr James May. He is staying in the same San Francisco hotel as we are. Tonight we are going down to the bar to see if the elusive Hamster or Clarkson are with him. It may be of course that he is filming his wine series with Oz Clarke as we are near Napa Valley.

Will let you know how we do. P.S. the pic was taken by his Director, the bad lighting and lack of focus does not bode well for filming.



P.P.S. Mr May showed great patience in obliging us as he must have just come off a long flight to get here. Many thanks to a true gent.

Um... why didn't you just ask him why he was in San Francisco while you were standing next to him?

It's probably the only shirt of its kind on the planet, that would be a terrible loss.

I laugh, at the same time resent that comment as a local San Franciscan.

Wonder if I should go hotel hopping to see which one he is staying at... Bets are it has to be something nice, like the St. Francis.

Just kidding. But hey, we'll keep an eye out for him anyway.

You're right! images/smilies/biggrin.gif Read James's column in the Telegraph:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...5/mrmay105.xml

And he mentions the presence of a BBC film crew, so sooner or later we will get to know what brought him there.

^ I was gonna point that out guy. images/smilies/lol.gif

He could be filming Oz and James as it's stated above, but I doubt they're doing Napa again for series 3. I would guess the next series to be in Italy or Oceania.

There's a substantial amount of wine country they missed last time. There are great wines well north of where they called it quits.

I posted on the comments section in the article, along with a plug for FinalGear. I hope the mods let it pass.

^ Yeah, but I figure they're gonna do one country per series. It wouldn't be so exciting for them to come back to California right away.
