Brian Johnson - Petrolhead

[Benni]

Hi MusicHeads,

I just read an interview with AC/DC´s Brian Johnson in a serious german newspaper.

While I never got to really like his voice -still think Bon was sounding better-
I have to respect Brian for training for a 24hrs race in a Porsche GT3
sponsored by "Hard Rock Cafe" and Viagra (well he´s 63 now... ).

He also seems to spend good money on cars, his latest addition to the garage
being one of the 4 (?) McLaren M6 ever built,
and he is planning to attend car meetings/exhibitions with this rarity.

Jonnas "automotive" autobiography is a very good read, well worth seeking out!

One of the better "Stars" IARPC.

He was also on some celebrity racing show with Eddie Irvine and David Coultard.

He was great on Top Gear though I thought Clarkson was terribly patronising in how he bleated on about nobody knowng who he is.

He was at the Festival of Speed at Goodwood yesterday and took a car up the hill. They did an interview with him when he got to the top and definitely appears to have petrol in his veins.

Well, he did start out as a mechanic.
