9 things we learnt about James May through his DriveTribe AMA
He loves Ferraris, chicken flavoured crisps and ale
On Thursday afternoon, DriveTribe hosted an 'Ask Me Anything' session with our very own James May. Having just flown back from a bout of Grand Tour filming, James manned his computer and opened the floodgates to thousands of DriveTribe users through our brand new chat channel function.
Over 1000 people were live on the chat at any one time and 170,000 different users took part in what turned out to be an epic first AMA on DriveTribe. Although things may have gotten a tad manic in the #ask-may-anything chat due to hundreds of questions being submitted every minute, James did manage to answer a handful of questions in classic May fashion. From Pontiac Trans Ams to horses, Mr May certainly had his hands full when the AMA took off.
So what did we learn about the great motoring man during the manic half hour?
First of all, he struggles to communicate with hundreds of people at once
He will have dealt with some large audiences in his broadcasting days but over 1000 people every minute was a bit much.
He is fed up of dealing with horses
He predictably has a favourite composer
Clarkson has the Ford GT, Hammond has the Mustang, and James...?
Of course, he's an ale drinker
Never challenge his dedication to his Ferrari
Surprisingly, his lovely locks take virtually no maintenance
He finally answered who his favourite Top Gear host is!
You have to go back a few decades to remember one of the original Top Gear presenters!
He weirdly enjoys the Citroen C2
These questions and answers are simply a handful of all the happenings on the live AMA that James had to fight his way through. For an extra insight into the half hour blast of questions and to listen to James somehow wading his way through thousands of messages, hop over to the DriveTribe Facebook page to replay the live stream.
We are hoping to do plenty more AMAs in the near future with other motoring stars so make sure you're following DriveTribe on all social media platforms (including the DriveTribe app) to keep up to date with our AMA schedule!

More Reassembler?
Couldn't see his answer to my question :( (badly wishing you had an Order By option for the comments)
Hum... His name is William Woollard not Woodward...smh
Yes, May knows that very well, I suspect autocorrect.
Not a damn thing.
