Thank You Viper. I must admit I did struggle trying to find it. Feel complete now that I have my Pink name.

RobyBobey. Please can I ask when the transcript of yesterdays meeting with James will be up for reading.

It's quite a coupe meeting James. You did extremely well. Don't know anything at all about cars, but would be a willing student if James ever gave lessons on the subject, perhaps a sideline for you James

Ya know, I have been thinking robybobey. You are a Top Gear Magnet. You should go ahead and start planning for when Clarkson (or one of the others) comes to tea.

Later today mate. I'm astonished by the amount of views already

EDIT = Do you guys want the transcript of just James and me talking, or the whole conversation including Oz too?

Don't be astonished Robeybobey, James is such a nice guy that people are interested in what he is doing, it's a natural niceness to, not false.

And it's awesome of James to spare a few minutes of his time and actually say a few words, awesome!

\How many more times do you want me to say awesome?

[OnlyABS]

this is brilliant.

and no, i'm not kidding. First round's on me.

You know, I'm not actually from here. I have lived in Maryland, Oklahoma, Hawaii, Colorado, and Utah. I fully intend to GTFO of this state and go home to Salt Lake.

Transcript added to first post, although i'm still making a few tweaks..

Fantastic Roby. Do you know if James visited today? Would imagine he was probably too busy as he's been up in Richmond.

Well he said he would visit today so I should imagine so.....

I wait with the same anticipation for new Top Gear, as for new Oz and James wine adventures.. it's hilarious.
Wine tv-shows very always boring, and (as James said) pounsy. Normal people couldn't watch it! James proved, that he could make interesting show even if it's about..um.. lawn mowing

I would love to watch a show about mowing lawns if James presented it, or even one about sheds. If radio 1 can do it...

I have never cared for wine and am bored to death having to listen to wine pounces, but with the addition of James, I found myself really interested and have actually learned some things. (much to my surprise)

That's the thing, so many "informational" shows (on wine, cars, whatever) take the Fifth Gear approach, where it feels like segments are filmed by a checklist. The TG approach of actually having fun with what you know is so much better, especially for getting new people interested. Incidentally, I've found myself going to wine tastings and being more of a ponce (not pounce ) thanks to O&J BWA, but when I describe wine, I (like to think that I) sound much more like James than Oz.

Yeah, I think you are right. You get the information from Oz while being entertained by James which takes the dreary out of it all.
