Got half an hour to kill? If you weren’t up in time to catch James May’s Radio 4 show Music To Drive To yesterday morning, you can listen again online.
He explores the idea that your car is a giant hifi – your own private Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scott’s jazz bar or Wembley Arena – and looks at how music in cars has changed people’s lives.
It’s heartwarming stuff – a little like John Peel’s Home Truths but with, well, music and cars. Sort of. Anyway, it’s on the BBC’s iPlayer and you can get to it via the Radio 4 website.
And if you want to remind yourself what Clarkson, Hammond and May were like doing their own radio show, check out the Drivetime video from series eight, show two…
i AM THE FIRST WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWW
AM FIRSTTTTT AND NOW AM SECONDDDDD
AM THRIRDDDD BUT NOW AM GETING BORED
Just fourth, but have a life !
You idiots that care about what comment you get need to get a life, I bet half you don’t even listen to / read what the comment sections are about.
6th?
the link doesn’t work
mi avete fatto morire dal ridere con la fiat coupè e le ruote da gladiatore!!!! la vitara con il tappeto chiodato e la lexus con la sirena dei gelatai!!!! siete forti!!!!!! grazie
Well, I’m 9th… but honestly,
WHO CARES?
i’m 10th
i love the show and enjoyed lisening to the different types of music. I it should become a regular slot
nice
I am the 12th, interesting show with the various types of music, thanks James, any chance of a regular slot!
WOot James! Heard it on the radio and enjoyed it. Going to listen again now.
Great program just right for wafting up the A34 in a disco3 for mothers day lunch set the tone exactly, perhaps a permanent slot could make such journeys throughout the week a little less like driving through a war zone
I can’t listen to it… It says it not working, try later…
Aah, the inefficient internet!!
16th
jhj
HA HA i’m 18th
………………19th
I thought it was really good. Should certainly be a regular slot I think xx
nice one james, see you in hampstead heath on sat night.
Rahgraghhrarhbugger.
I hate Real Player.
*Throws it off a cliff*
Or throw it into the Sin Bin.
Anyway in terms of a proper comment I think James should be given his own regular late night radio show slot say on a Saturday or Sunday night/early Morning where the show is based around music and driving. People could phone in with stories related to music or and driving and even make requests.
Another thing I’d love for James to do is present a tv programme on music.
does this mean im 24th? BRING BACK TOPGEAR IM GOING CRAZY WITHOUT A NEW SEASON!
and i think its for uk residents only
Am the 24th. Hoorah.
The poor people listening to James.

it’s me Chinese poeple
Hi James! The Moneyspider is a great track. Love the James Taylor Quartet. Soon I’ll go to a concert of them, here in CH, somewhere at the foot of a great mountain pass, in a proper car -a Caterham with it’s usual sound system that does not emit music-, no drinking, full car control and a full music experience.
Interesting radio Show from Mr May. I enjoyed it, would be nice to hear more of the same. I agree with Debs it would make a perfect weekend night slot. I rarely listen to classical music in the car i get carried away with it so its a good job i dont do the driving.
Fantastic segment dear James, I have to admit even I found myself getting a bit emotional listening to the story where the woman was describing the birth of her child and when that piece of music ‘What a difference a Day makes.’ Came on the radio it did make my insides go all mushy inside and bring a lump to my throat. I was laughing my socks off as well when you said you take detours to listen to end of your favorite song when it comes on the radio, I do that too! Although not into an underground carpark you big wally! It was really quite amazing the different stories these many people had to tell to the listeners of their sublime moments when they have an epiphany or moment of pure clarity of thought to the downright comedic moments too.
Thanks for sharing that with us honey.

Excellent bit of Radio that was James.
You know I still reckon you should have your own Radio show, it would be such a delight to hear your dulcet tones every week, or even once a month.
Keep on doing what you do love, your doing it right.

Glares at Vamppengy and Horsepowerrrrr and grabs pitchfork and ignores those who can’t make intellegent comments. Several of us ladies like to see James May. James, if you are reading this, ignore what those people say. They’re probably jealous blokes.
Anyway forgot to say that it was nice to hear Wang Chung mentioned, although not sure about the last song played :-/.

That small woman near the stig in the window is actualy Richard Hammond. Some say that Richard Hammond lives between the stigs but cheeks, and thats why he has to have his teeth whitened every day. All we know is he is that small woman standing near the stig in the window!

I have one general question about May and I hope somebody has an answer: Why have I seen him in a purple/burgundy striped long sleeve open collar sweater thingy so many times? Aren’t telly presenters supposed to have a dozen full closets and avoid wearing the same thing all year long? To be clear here I’m not criticising his clothes, he looks rather lovely in it. Maybe he just really like that piece? Or maybe he just doesn’t have that much clothes…
4th, 10th, 16th, 27th, etcetera, would it also be true to say that when conversing with Mrs. Palm, you look in the mirror?
Just in case anyone needs it to be explained, I refer in comment 62 to those who suffix their comment number(e.g.4th, 10th, 16th, 27th)with “YAY”, or “LOL”, or variants of the same without any other comment!
How can i talk with James may? has he an email or something?
