 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I'm sure Jay Kay has had a nose around the site once in a while! Apparently before he was famous he dreamt of owning a Volvo 480! Bernard Sumner of New Order has had a few Old school Mercs Paul McCartneys son has just bought a Merc W123 estate of my mate! John Maher (drummer of the Buzzcocks) owns and runs a VW Tuning place Chris Rea was well into his Ferraris And Vic Reeves is into his VW Campers (along with Martin Clunes!)  |

Michael Jackson was in town for a party hosted by some sheik...can't be bothered to look up the spelling...the sheik, shake, shiek?? aint worth it..... as u can imagine there was a lot of entourages on top of entourages and the dignitries ( ahem ) there obviously carry on in their bubble so everyone else suffers... this party was in a village outside a smallish town in some big hotel/retreat place... all night the 3 emergency services were repeatedly called to this venue on the whim of these people...and by doing so put the whole town and surrounding area at risk with no or limited emergency service cover at times...... I won't add any superlative as to what I think... would like to bump into Slash tho'.....have a beer and a chat.. :-) You're somewhere near me in Rural Rutland then  |

Who can forget the legend that is Norman Wisdom-big Roller fan and still owns/drives one I think. Read a book that had an interview with NW in circa 2005. He met the author at a train station in a 'big' BMW, (7series presumably) with his wife in the car as well, managed to scare both the author and his wife with his fast driving on the way back to his house, and confessed his wife didn't like his driving such a fast car! |

I had a customer years ago who worked in some of the Aussie soaps,Nieghbours, Home and away etc . I was chatting with her and a friend she bought in. After she left I commented to a girl working for me,"Shes nice,works in TV i think,Danii some one..." Kylies sister.  |

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

I reckon Rowan Atkinson would be a good laugh to talk with about cars, as long as you didn't keep slipping in Blackadder lines  He's a bit of a petrolhead, I remember watching Driven Man on TV years ago ;D And it's on youtube, that's me sorted for this evening |

I saw his "Massive Engines" program a few weeks back about vintage cars, he's clearly a top petrolhead and welcome to buy me a beer anytime ;D |

I registered my van in the same office as Eric Clapton has a couple of his done... The lady said nobody recognised him when he first came in... "When did he get so old?" Oi, that's slowhand you're talking about there. His current wife is from around Columbus, Ohio and he's seen a bit about those parts. ;D |
