in fairness James May did have that tutorial session with Jackie Stewart in the TVR around Croft iirc, He would have picked some excellent racing tips up there

Had a feeling it'd be Thorney when they mentioned Milton Keynes and stuff.

Just shows that the programme isn't a fix all the time, if someone totally aside from it can say things like that.
