James May is the Top Gear presenter who on the first show of the new season went and drove a Bugatti Veyron up to near-as-makes-no-difference 253 mph. Hurray for James.

The straight-faced, mop-headed auto enthusiast who usually takes alpha presenter Jeremy Clarkson's punches and rolls with 'em suggests in his Daily Telegraph column (he's got one too) that the Bugatti Veyron will be the fastest car he's ever driven and likely the fastest car that will ever be made.

He's convinced, in fact, that the Veyron is the last supercar. Such a downer, James.

Read on anyway.
