2. Schweet
Looking forward to it but I'll probably have to save it till tomorrow, so MG Jr. can watch it as well. (Live it's past his bedtime.)

Hey, check out Mr. May's rant about the Stig-unmasking media frenzy. It's classic. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/columnists/jamesmay/4401287/So-who-is-The-Stig.html

5. He's the best
I've become totally addicted to his Telegraph column and his occasional blog post on the Top Gear site (UK side only x( ), not to mention his drinking side project. I'm watching the most recent season (Oz and James Drink to Britain) but have yet to go back and watch the two wine seasons. The sight of James in an Irish beauty parlor, with curlers in his hair, under a dome hair dryer, just to see if rinsing with beer makes your hair softer, was just too much!
:rofl:

I tuned in once because nothing else was on, thinking "great, some car show. well at least it will kill some time." Then came the Great London Race & I was hooked. :rofl:
