Mr Mays next project, not car inspired, but sounds interesting none the less:

Starts in just over a weeks time

Next on: Sun, 31 Oct 2010, 21:00 on BBC Two (except Northern Ireland (Analogue), Wales (Analogue))

The first of a new series that sees James May on a mission to save modern man - from themselves. From his Man Lab HQ, James and his team set out on a series of action-packed challenges that will help modern man relearn some of the vital skills, once cherished by his forefathers, that are now in danger of being lost forever.

In this episode, we learn how to defuse an unexploded bomb, build a kitchen out of concrete, how to serenade a woman, transform a fishfinger sandwich, and create the world's first motorised picnic table.

About time May ditched the gobby northern one and the one with foppish hair and whitened teeth to go his own way with more stuff like this (assuming it's as original and well put together as Big Ideas, 20th Century and Toy Stories).
He's by far the most talented, witty, thought-provoking, original and genuinely amusing one of the Three TG Stooges.

Loved him in "James May's big ideas" - top journalism/presentational skills in my book.

Oh and he's quite amusing too, genuinely excited at what he's doing (also in TG).
In short, I'm going to record this to watch on a quiet evening.

Looking forward to this. Must admit I'm quite a fan of May's non-Top Gear television exploits.

May's column in the Torygraph is usually entertaining. In response to somebody suggesting he had an item of yoofware in his wardrobe:

"Mogulfield, Are you trying to imply that I wear Nike sports clothing? Are you quite, quite mad?"

And he also says "I advertise beer". Top chap as he would say.

Odd mix. That worktop was full of air holes, should have been removed with a vibrating poker and polished shirley? Not hygenic.
