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.

Oh, The Mini Pick Ups done, I thought it would be just the thing for going to the shops, but I was wrong! it’s bleeding Mental. second gears like something from the Bad Lands. it get to 8000 rpm then it feels like someones pushing you from behind! It would be great for a bad timekeeper of someone who is always in a hurry or runnig late. I have started to run it in ‘C’ mode to try and calm it down when on the road. On the track ‘A’ mode ….Hayabusa Honking…

When I saw what looked like a tic sized camper glued to the bottom of an orange blimp I almost died laughing. I can’t wait to see that episode.

(sarcastically) Woow. 2 miles an hour.
Slowest crash in the world. An average slow crash is caused by a car going in 10 mph. An average crash would be at 30 mph. A Stig-level crash is above 120 mph, as he proved once driving a Koneigsegg CCX.

James, I’m glad you are okay.
I read you have been living with a girl for ten years. This is fornication, my dear. Jesus cannot bless your life as you are living contrary to His Word. A man must be married. Don’t you want a family and a clean relationship? Respect is an integral part of true love. I do wish you well.
