The Independent
May's collection of articles is full of inventive…exercises, honestly retold. It makes for a nice read.
Synopsis
Best known as the third presenter in the unholy trinity that is Clarkson, Hammond and May on Top Gear, James 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.

lOVE THE NEW FRONT COVER
I remember buying the 1st edition it cured me of a panic attact cause by to much stress. James May saved me , inspired my work and May On mOtors is one of the best Motoring booksI have ever read.
Fun with Cars
This book reads like James May sounds on Top Gear, in fact I could almost swear I could hear him speaking as I was reading. It's a series of articles he has written.
This book is mostly about cars, not surprisingly, but it's also about motorbikes, driving, his fellow presenters on Top Gear, about driving in foreign countries and about life in general. It's funny, irreverent, touching and wry and I loved it.
May's life - with funny bits thrown in too
A fantastic book and a great laugh. He writes about everything, from how his love of cars began to how American Hard Gums should make a comeback. Its full of subtle humor too, his sort of humor, funny humor. It will keep you hooked for hours, because once you get stuck into this book, you just want to see whats on the next page. If you like cars (or even if you don't) and like a good read (or even if you don't) then this is the book for you. I just hope he writes more, because this is a winner.
