"James is like some casual, gentleman tinkerer yoking a homemade antigravity drive to the derailleurs of his bicycle because he is tired of being late to church every Sunday."

Michael Chabon on M.R. James, in the book Maps & Legends: Reading and Writing along the Borderlands.

I'm not the only one who thinks that sentence could be about James May, am I? Change "bicycle" to "car", "church" to "work", and "Sunday" to "Wednesday"* and it could be a nice little fic about Captain Slow and his flying Fiat Panda, which everybody (except Jeremy) thinks is amazing, but to him is just a way to go to work. ^_^

*That's when the studio segments of Top Gear gets filmed, right? Or was it Thursdays?

that poky motoring show, geekery, readings i've done, randomness
