Not being British I have probably missed a lot, but by what I know I prefer James May by far, I'm not too fond of Richard Hammond really, even if they both have names so closely connected to Prog Rock Wink

I like Hammond. But James May is great. Loved the constructions with lego, mechano and mucking around with train sets. The wine shows were good too.
