How did you know it was his 911? You are a fan, aren't you.

A scary one.

It does have a numberplate that makes it quite obvious!

Anyway, met and worked with him many times. Nice guy. No doubt likes time to himself as well, like anybody else.

He was on double yellows for 20 minutes? tut tut, these celebs...

It has 'PLATO' in big letters across the number plate...
Plus I remember in a previous episode of Fifth Gear him saying he had one.

I bet you've had that photo laminated, eh George, so it wipes clean

I can just make out Plato hiding inside the shop. He appears to be on the phone to the Police.

OK enough with the stalker comments. If I had waited outside for hours on end then yes maybe but all I did was wait for 20 minutes for a one-time chance to say hello to someone I am a fan of and show my appreciation and congratulate him on his win.

Sorry if that comes across all a bit too much...

After a week or so dress up as a milkman then go knock at his door at about 530am - when he answers give him a knowing wink and lift your milkman hat so he can see around the disguise,

That's come across as a bit gay if you don't mind me saying.

I know, that's why I tell people so often.

Oh I thought it was a hair loss excuse....

Yes, come on everyone.

































Leave the stalker alone.

Thats changed. First post you congratulated him on being a Journalist.


He is probably sat in a pub with his fellow racing driver mates tonight, saying that some weirdo stood out in the freezing cold outside a dry cleaners & wanted to shake his hand on being a Journalist.

Tiff Needell and nick Mason tried to push in front of me and a mate in the queue for the Hot Dog stand at last years Sunday Service in wiltshire...

Are all 5th Gear presenters wkers?

[ambuletz]

I'll speculate that maybe he was in a rush to get home and take a dump before getting ready for some evening do.

Jason Plato at my local shops! I never see anything there, one for the bad parking thread though.

A mate from college actually works in that dry cleaners too. Tbh you were lucky to see a 911 Turbo in this place. Let alone Plato out and about.

[H_Kan]

OP you are rather odd.

[jbi]

probably thought you were a journalist

[rovermorris999]

Crap parking, embarrassing number plate on a nice car. Why?

[Marlboro Gold]

Its a shame that JPs reply thread got closed...that'd been a classic

[Chris_w666]

So the bloke get harassed after dropping a few suits off for cleaning. Slagged off for not being a chatty friendly bloke with a total stranger in the street, then gets his car and its number plate posted on a very popular website.

What next OP? His home phone number? Maybe some pics of him and the mrs relaxing?

He was reasonable enough, I am sure if you met him at a pit walkaround for a BTCC round or at a car related event he would have been more talkative, but everyone has the right to a day off.

It's OK, it's just PH, sometimes the apparently sleeping dogs raise an eyebrow, and sometimes they snarl. Decent enough thread really.

[edo]

why would he draw attention to himself by having such a wky plate?

I was going to jump to his defence, but he must like the attention or he wouldnt have a plate like that..

... and he is an arrogant wr

Saw his grey 911 Turbo parked outside the dry cleaners near where I live and thought "Wow! Its Jason Plato" so I hung around to say hello and meet him. 20 minutes in freezing 2 degree cold and he comes out and I say hello and he shakes my hand. I say that I really like his car reviews and all that to which he just says "yeah yeah nice yeah, bye". Gets into his Porsche and drives off. Can't even spare 10 seconds for a fan.

Its true what they say, don't meet your heroes.

I once met Will Hoy in some toilets.
