Posted by whu-ya-got@reddit | thegrandtour | View on Reddit | 88 comments
Crowdsourcing a question to make Mr. Slow laugh or scoff at a gin signing event this week.
Any ideas??
Getafix69@reddit
Ask him if he feels it morally right to target pet owners with gin advertising.
Show him this and shake your head sadly. https://ibb.co/BH68vC5X

Brochure for the Dacia Sandero
m1rrari@reddit
That’s what I’d want him to sign. Frame it up and hang it up
H377Spawn@reddit
Good news! ~ James
sercialinho@reddit
Now he’s launched several gins, how much longer will we have to wait for a tribute to the Dacia Sandero?
RateBetter9492@reddit
New flavor - Acacia Sandero
theskywaspink@reddit
A tequila called “Agave Sandero”. Only the smart ones will get how that works on so many levels.

What car makes his fizz glands tingle the most these days?

"Bad news! James May is no longer signing things! Oh, no! Anyway..."
maarkwong@reddit
Have him sign a Clarkson portrait

Which was the better airplane, spitfire or hurricane?
AsboST225@reddit
Hmmm in fairness a more accurate comparison would be Spitfire vs Bf109
Puzzleheaded_Two7358@reddit
James? Is that you?
AsboST225@reddit
Ask him if the bonger at the jetwash should go off at the end or the middle of the cycle.
paandorasbox@reddit
Ask if his gin was tested at the nurburgring
Jopinder@reddit
If not, he should create one, test it there and call it the Nürburgin.
Gadoguz994@reddit
You mean developed?
whu-ya-got@reddit (OP)
This is the leader so far
incachu@reddit
I bet a bunch of lurkers, who are also going, read this post...
May: "Why's everyone saying the same Nürburgring joke?"
whu-ya-got@reddit (OP)
Right! At this rate I’m definitely going to go up there, bottle of gin in hand and say thanks mate hope your travels gone well.
….not - I have one up my sleeve I don’t want to leak yet!
theskywaspink@reddit
Ask if he came sign it and draw the Nurburgring. There will just be this squiggle with “- James May” on it
saundo@reddit
"Why didn't you name it Nurburg-gin?" It's the solution to a bad back"
Chriswheela@reddit
And does it have a sport mode?
Old_Noted@reddit
I like this one
CompanyButter@reddit
Yes yes ask this

I won't make the one in Miami, does anyone one want my ticket?

Damn this stuff hits harder than an Evo in a tunnel.
whu-ya-got@reddit (OP)
Hahaha too soon?
disco_naankhatai@reddit
You people are so goddamned unoriginal and dull that you have to crowd source how to be annoying, and you all seem proud of it.
Mental_Medium3988@reddit
if he wants some chamomile for his tea.

Not American enough. Bourbon?

Not American enough. Moonshine!
Grimdotdotdot@reddit
Money
myspacetomtop5@reddit
Tell him a new study shows that all Americans who drink gin also drive trucks.
TheDreadPirateJeff@reddit
Ask him how well it mixes with bovril
(I’ll never forget the adventure when he had that giant bovril dispenser which lead me to discover something called Beef Tea)
Embarrassed_Roof8165@reddit
I mean, mustard and parsnip flavorings would lead me to believe it mixes with bovril.
robottikon@reddit
start with "Hello."
SALTYP33T@reddit
What is this a reference to? I keep seeing this reference.
robottikon@reddit
this and then he says "well you have to start with hello"

pac4@reddit
Hello.
SALTYP33T@reddit
I’m curious if he’d sign my Meyer’s Manx photo of my car that I restored after watching the Namibia special
Educational-Bit-145@reddit
Ask if he’s planning to make a Sloe Gin
proscriptus@reddit
If you really want to catch him of guard, walk up behind him and kiss him gently on the back of the neck. He'd probably love it.
Dolannsquisky@reddit
"Gently cupping one of May's testicles".
Potential_Yam_5196@reddit
I second this.
whu-ya-got@reddit (OP)
I’d prefer to stay off of the local watch lists
PeeterTurbo@reddit
Ask him to sign the leather bodysuit lookalike photo
Chrispy83@reddit
Ask him if he keeps in touch with Yujiro (Taniyama) and if he is upset he called Bradley Walsh “daddy” and didn’t give him an equally cringy/creepy nickname name
TonyBadagutch@reddit
Have him sign a copy of Catcher in the Rye
SopaDeKaiba@reddit
Whatever you do will be better if you do it in a pink and purple rugby shirt.
ANALHACKER_3000@reddit
Bring him a bottle of Sloe Gin and tell him that this seemed more his speed.
hardwood1979@reddit
Ask him why he hasn't made "captain sloe" gin yet. This was the easiest open goal in marketing history for him.
Jefwho@reddit
I asked him about the Dacia Sandero. He looked rather annoyed with me.
all_m0ds_R_virgins@reddit
I asked if he read anything interesting lately that he would recommend and he told me to buy his cookbook.
real_Mini_geek@reddit
Probably tiring after a while
Jefwho@reddit
Yeah, he was probably over it way before this tour. I’m sure Jeremy and Richard annoyed him enough about it long ago.
real_Mini_geek@reddit
I think it’s best to just treat him normally and not go with a pre prepared “joke”
I’d personally ask him about his myford lathe but that’s because I also have one
Jefwho@reddit
Hindsight is 20/20. I didn’t think it through.
thatautisticguy@reddit
Any news on the new Dacia Sandera? 🤔🤷🏻♂️
thatautisticguy@reddit
Can you ask him if hes nureodiverse?
Theres signs he might be and given how good he is at infodumping (though always happy to hear anything he has to say), im all for it
pac4@reddit
When will he release a Bovril-flavored gin?
MrTiq@reddit
‘Why didn’t you name it Hamster Fuel?’
tege0005@reddit
Or Brummie's Ruin
pac4@reddit
Yesssss
ScoffingYayap@reddit
Ask him about The Rehearsal
supersurfer92@reddit
What gin does he detest, but only on Wednesdays?
OgdenDermstead@reddit
“Will consumption of this interfere with me getting the fizz”
J_Bear@reddit
See if you can find a copy of the Autocar that got him sacked.
AdvancedIdeal@reddit
“Did you consider calling your amphibious vehicle The Herald of Free Enterprise”
ImNotHandyImHandsome@reddit
Ask him if his nickname is Captian Slow or Cpatin Sloe.
KM964@reddit
Cheese
NEW_GNGR_9601@reddit
Ask him why his gin isn’t called Orangutan Juice!
PaulaDeentheMachine@reddit
Tell him you think the Gloster Gladiator was the REAL best plane of the war
tege0005@reddit
Just wear a spitfire t-shirt
wrjm0102@reddit
Ask him to sign a block of cheese as well
odanhammer@reddit
Tell him your the one that put the pink Lego brick in the Lego house build
qwertyalp1020@reddit
Bim is great, but that nurburgring jokes is much better
