When I first saw this I thought it was going to be the usual unofficial quick cash-in kind of a thing, but as it's written by Richard Porter, perhaps it will actually be worth a read?

Check in the random thoughts thread. I posted an article a couple of days ago with excerpts of the book.

I must have missed the James May quote:

'Richard Porter has asked me to "write a quote" for his new book about the ancient history of Top Gear. But this is a ridiculous request. How can one "write a quote"? Surely, by definition, a quote must be extracted from a greater body of writing, for the purpose of illustrating or supporting a point in an unrelated work. I cannot "write a quote" any more than I could "film an out-take".

'Porter, like Athens, has lost his marbles.' - James May
