James May
James Daniel May (born 16 January 1963) is an English television presenter, journalist and writer.
May is best known as co-presenter of the motoring programme Top Gear alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond.
May has presented a variety of other programmes on themes including
science and technology, childhood toys, cars, food and drink, and the
plight of manliness in modern times. In addition he has released a
variety of DVDs and books with similar themes, and writes a weekly
column for The Daily Telegraph's motoring section.
On Top Gear, May has the nickname "Captain Slow", for his
careful driving style, a love of small, underpowered cars and habit of
getting lost and distracted while driving. However, in a July 2010
episode of Top Gear he drove a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, reaching a speed of 417.6 kilometres per hour (259.5 mph).
