May on Motors



'I WORRY THAT HE THINKS HE DOESN'T NEED FRIENDS BECAUSE HE'S GOT FANS INSTEAD' JEREMY CLARKSON

Best known as the third presenter in the unholy trinity that is Clarkson, Hammond and May on Top Gear, James May has lived, breathed and dreamt about cars his entire life.
There is something about cars that stirs up intense feelings in people - how it makes them look to the outside world, how it makes them feel about themselves, how it looks to their girlfriends or their mates, or their neighbours. These feelings are humorously described in May on Motors, as James takes us on the road and looks at the cars that have shaped him, his world and the ordinary people of Britain.
In May on Motors, James has brought together his most controversial and amusing pieces to make a brilliant collection that will amuse and inspire all car enthusiasts.

Praise for May on Motors

I worry that he thinks he doesn't need friends because he's got fans instead.

Jeremy Clarkson, The Sunday Times

A great book to dip into, pore over on a Sunday afternoon or leave in the smallest room in the house.

Classic Car Weekly

May's collection of articles is full of inventive...exercises, honestly retold. It makes for a nice read.
