Captain Slow's Car of the Year is Way Fast
by John Coyle

James May's nickname might be Captain Slow, but for his 2012 Car of the Year, the Top Gear presenter picked the decidedly quick McLaren 12C Spider. Given the show's love of all things English, it's hardly a total surprise, but given the positive press the ferocious droptop has gotten for its handling and rigidity, it's not undeserved either. There's some sweet footage of the honoree tackling some twisties, but the best past of the video is probably May poking fun at the car's name. Which isn't undeserved either. Enjoy.

 

thanks for sharing. The 12C is definitely an amazing car

 

That is a great video.

 

Can't wait for the new Top Gear to start!

 

Awesome!

 

Wise Choice

 

Hahahaha not biased at all, are you?

 

Great car, thanks for sharing! A couple of weeks more left for the new season cant wait!

 

Completely unbiased, I'm offended that anyone would think otherwise.

 

I just picked mine up a couple of days ago, phenomenal machine!
