If you’ve read today’s newspapers you’re probably aware that James May has had a spot of bother with an airship.
The good news is that our brave hero has emerged from the slightly scratched wreckage UNHARMED.
After PLUMMETING to the ground at a MASSIVE two miles an hour, May’s craft SLAMMED into a small bush and then just sort of STOPPED. Thankfully, trained rescue staff were on the scene in seconds to intercept James as he stepped out of the airship and were able to administer a much needed flask of TEA and some NICE BISCUITS.
May has since returned home for a SIT DOWN and some light piano practise, after which he is reported to be “very well, thank you for asking”.
For more details of this quite near-death experience you’ll have to tune in to the new series, coming to your television later this year.

Isn’t it awkward how little top gear and James May have used the Jaguar XJ8 (x308), which is in my mind the most british and elegant car that exist?!

I had gasped with worry, as it was, when he’d taken a bit of a knock on the old melon when the guys decided to trek across the badlands of Syria in an attempt to evade prying eyes. Something very similar happened to me when I worked on a large tug boat.
The abaft hawser caught me off guard, while we were cinching up our barge for towing, and I was pinned… flat on my back… against an oil barrel. It took all 8 of my fellow crew members to haul me out from under that thick cable Had it not been for them, I might well have been pinched clean in half. I’m so very glad, then, that James is well now, as I was when he turned out all right in Syria.

James May would much rather have Bovril than Tea, stupid rescue crew.
