James May: WTF?

Top Gear bike nut builds house out of... Lego?

Tweet
Posted: 17 September 2009
by Visordown News

TOP GEAR presenter and motorcycle enthusiast James May has built a Lego-cladded house in the middle of a Surrey vineyard.

It's reported May, who owns a string of classic motorcycles, has covered the house inside-and-out with over 816 million bricks - obviously not by himself.

We love the whole thing but can't help wondering: 'How much are the BBC paying this bloke if he can afford stunts on this scale?'

Its for a show he's doing called "Toy Stories", so he's not bankrolling it himself.  He also made a garden out of plasticine and is converting an abandoned race track to a full-size slot car track.  (Well, the slot cars will be small, but they will run the entire full-sized track.)

It's the new Big Brother house. They figered with all those hairline joints in the lego block walls,the brain dead contestants and viewers won't be able to find the real doors and the producers will save a packet on security.
