Dickie Attenborough, walking past the burger king at the east end of Princes street,Edinburgh.

For a second there, he looked like he might just nip in for a quick whopper

Saw Anthony Davidson and breifly spoke to him(well one of the guys I was with at the time did) Just out for a meal in the Pub/Hotel I was staying in a couple of years ago.

Have seen plenty of other famous faces but all at the Goodwood FoS. Don't tend to get many famous people in my part of nottinghamshire, although, my dad went to school with a guy who was in corrie (cant recal his name) and Rebbeca Addlington is from around here.

Well I had a chat with Mark Webber last week, waiting at the baggage carousel in Tullamarine airport in Melbourne. My flight went through Singapore the day after the GP.

Saw George Lucas at the FoS a few years back, looked to my right wondering who the loud-mouthed yanks were, that were talking really loudly to each other, and BAM, old grey-beard was stood 2m away from me.

His clothes were best described as 'Matalan'. I was too shocked to say hello.

Also when I met Nigel Mansell at the Silverstone Le Mans race on the grid, his race suit was ripped at the elbow, it was all frayed and fluff was coming out. hehe

I was nearly run over on King's Road by Claudio Ranieri. In an A class.
I nearly ran over Robbie Williams in the Barbican. At least I'm 99% sure it was him.

I also met Tom Chiltern in Park Lane BMW. He's actually a really rather nice guy.

Well I saw Ben Collins in Paddington Station on Wednesday.
Was he sitting dejected against a wall in a tatty, worn-out race-suit, an upturned helmet on the floor in front of him with a few coppers in it, and a sign reading 'Will Be Stig For Food'?

I met Christian Von Koenigsegg in London in 2008 and he was very down to earth nice guy. He was very enthusiastic as he showed me personally around his new car at the time (CCX-R Edition).

Other than that, I met James Caan from Dragons Den in a chip shop in Windsor. And I saw Rowan Atkinson driving around Oxford in a black Aston Vantage.

Ooh, and also saw Roger Waters from Pink Floyd nosing round a 575 three years ago in Maranello Sales.

My g/f and I were walking around Amsterdam a few yesrs back and saw a group of lads walking towards us, one of who was wearing a ridiculously oversized hat. My g/f said something like look he is wearing a hat like that bloke out of Jamiroquai, as they got closer we realised it actually was that bloke out of Jamiroquai!
He popped in my old local in Weedon, just outside Aylesbury, for a pint once. Nice bloke, absolutely out of his tree though!

Kelly Jones (of Stereophonics fame) lives just around the corner from me, often see him popping to Tesco Express. First time I spotted him I must've been staring a bit too blatantly so he gave me a nod and a wink... He drives a Cayenne.

As for keeping it 'unreal' I saw Didier Drogba drive past me in his Rangie (big stupid chrome wheels, bodykit etc) with every single window down (in the middle of a very cold winter) and music on so loud that I thought my ears were about to bleed. Pillock.

Pulled up alongside Jay Kay at the lights on Vauxhall Bridge a few months ago; I glanced right, he glanced left, and then we focused with steely resolution on the lights ahead.

He: Ferrari F430 Scuderia M16 (white, looking stunning and sounding fabulous)
Me: BMW 118d (silver, looking st and sounding worse)

He won.

Fair play to him, he absolutley booted it, full beans over the empty bridge. What a car, wonderful noise.
