James May on the Moon

Did anybody see this? I saw it was the next show up after Top Gear last weekend, but havent seen it yet. He gets to do alot of cool stuff only i could dream of, like taking a Veryon to its top speed or going up in a U2 spy plane to see the curviture of the Earth...

25,000 mph is pretty fast. I hope Captin slow will be ok?

“Captain Slow” is just the shtick James plays on Top Gear…he’s actually a private pilot and is probably the most technically savvy of the three.

which he also gets into on top gear, right before clarkson goes "Maaaay!! who really gives a crap!?!"

Saw it here in sunny england, it was good.

Where can you learn more about the real Capt. Slow?

Not "probably", definitely the most technically savvy. He's the one that actually wrenches on the cars when the chips are down.

While true, that doesn't necessarily make him a faster driver. Like most things on Top Gear, I'm sure his "slowness" is exaggerated, but being good with a wrench and being a fast driver are two different things.

Anyhow, I dl'd this earlier today and will watch it at my earliest opportunity.

Also, his being a pilot might go along with the personality for being "slow". There's a saying: "There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots; but there are no old bold pilots."

Being a good pilot involves a lot of patience and taking time to evaluate things before making a decision.

Yes, I know it's from the Daily Fail, but it's actually very good.

And he is the True Stig...
