Default My Latest Interview With James May

James was very nice to me at the 2006 Eastbourne Motorshow the other week, and sat to talk with me about recent projects and what he's up to for the rest of the year. It's a nice catch up from last year's interview from the same motorshow!

I've posted it on my website, in the interviews section.

Nice work but you might want to change the layout of the interview a bit. It seems quite unclear whos talking at some points. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Good interview and a good read. Thanks dude.
Oh and about the French..........Everyone hates them and they hate everyone, just the way this world works. Personally I can't stand the snobbish bastards that they are.

Great stuff! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Here's hoping Oz & James' Big Wine Adventure rates well ... I'd love to see them venture out to Australia in a future series. Of course, the fact that I live down the road from at least two of Australia's most well known and prolific wine regions has nothing to do with it ... images/smilies/whistling.gif

If you think the French are bad, try Quebecois lol
Think half-drunk French bent on breaking up Canada for no reason other than their hatred of anyone who speaks English images/smilies/lol.gif
