Personal life A Cuisina by James Martin hob

Martin has a passion for performance cars [1] which led to him entering a vintage Maserati in the 2008 Mille Miglia [2]. This was televised on 28 December 2008. He failed to complete the race and got in a big sulk, which made the whole programme a bit of a damp squib, particularly as it was broadcast in a primetime slot over the Christmas period.

On the 12th of September 2009 James Martin admitted in an article in the UK newspaper the Daily Mail, that he deliberately drove a Tesla Roadster in a potentially dangerous manner and caused two cyclists a 'look of sheer terror as they tottered into the hedge'. He's clearly a cnut with a small penis.
