Fav Quote: "We all know small cars are good for us. But so is cod liver oil. And Jogging. I want to drive in a Terminator,not the heroine in an EM Forster novel"
 

Richard Hammond

Born: 19th December 1969

Location: Birmingham, England

Fav Comment: (when test driving a Bowler Wildcat) I am a driving god!

James May

"Captain Slow", as he always finishes last in high speed track races and generally presents with a laconic style.

Born: 16th January 1963

Location: Bristol, England

In stark contrast to Captain Slow, May has carried out some exceptionally high-speed driving. He has become one of the very few in the world to have taken a Bugatti Veyron to its top speed of nearly 253 mph (407 km/h), or precisely one-third of the speed of sound.
