MEGA GALLERY: James Glickenhaus shares if Le-Mans effort on Facebook

All we can say is thank you Mr. James Glickenhaus,

 you have made this world a bit better by sharing with the rest of us your carbon-fibre wondercar.

Not only is the P4/5 a gorgeous machine but it is also made almost entirely out of carbon fibre and after shelling out God knows how many millions of dollars to Pininfarina to design and build the machine, Glickenhaus is also now the owner of all the moulds and drawings so he is building a Le-Mas car.

How cool is that?

This is one example of how every super rich car nut should live, Jay Leno also sets another good example to follow.

Glickenhaus and Leno makes car nuts happy and for every smile that they put on people's face, that makes them a good person, enjoy his Facebook album.

James May cracks his head in Syria

Captain slow flung to the ground by towrope
The three wise men and their roadster caravan
- ooh the things that could go wrong

As you may already know, the Top Gear trio was in Syria recently producing Top Gear's Christmas special and the plan was to use unsuitable cars (obviously) to trace the steps of the three wise men.

Instead of camels or a sturdy off-roader, they went for three small roadsters so obviously they got stuck in the sand a lot, ah you can just see where the merryment is coming from can't you?



Anyway, during one of the towing sessions, James May stood too close, or may have actually bee straddling the two rope, reports are unclear, so when the tow car pulled away, the rope became taut and threw May off his feet and his cranium made contact with some Syrian hardware.

There was a lot of blood and the team were hundreds of kilometres away from modern medical facility. They made it.

May was given a brain scan and in typical Captain Slow fashion he said that he was alright, but the Syrians were excited to try their new brain scanner.

We look forward to seeing this special.
