Martin 'Wolfie' Adams driving a Renault Trafic van...

[Madrabbit]

Years ago whilst cycling through Windsor Great Park I had to get out of the way of a Rover P5B being driven by The Queen.

Princess Di with Princes' William & Harry were regular 'spots' on the school run in Wokingham, Ludgrove Prep from memory.

Sharon Davies, Olympic swimmer, in an Audi 80.

Bruce Forsyth in a Rolls Royce at Sunningdale Golf Club. These were all spotted in the 80/90's.

I saw John Surtees in a Twingo a few weeks ago

[Aviz]

Ryan giggs , some time mid 90s. Pink Suzuki vitara "fat boy" outside stax trade centre in Walkden near Manchester. I later saw him in there. A very bizarre place to see a footballer as it's a trade only cash and carry/building supplies type place, and an even more bizarre choice of vehicle.



Like this only it was a convertible. And had a white hood. Horrific !!!,

Saw Kelly Holmes in a Range Rover Sport at Hildenborough station once. She waved at me

[J4CKO]

Geoffrey Hughes (Onslow, Eddie Yates) was round at my in laws once, he had a Saab 9000 Carlsson.

1. JK in a Phantom LWB doing a 5 point turn outside the Ritz (that thing is big!).
2. Peter Andre in a Cayenne in East Finchley.
3. And this... But there was no-one in it and it was full of bullet holes!

[TomTheTyke]

was absolutely convinced I saw Rupert Grint driving a blue classic mini the other day, half thought it could be him because he famously bought an ice cream van and something else in bright orange so he has eclectic taste, but then this was on the A64 just past Tadcaster brewery so maybe less likely...

anyway being an old mini (I am a big fan but they can't really stick with modern motorway traffic) by the time I'd gone past I couldn't slow down enough to let him catch back up and confirm my suspicions. Who knows maybe he likes Scarborough fish and chips.

It was. I have more photos of it than the one I took that you've linked to.

Last weekend I followed a black MP4-12C with a '12C' plate. Must have a few bob I thought...

Then got alongside at a set of lights, and Mr Dennis himself was at the wheel.

Les Dennis, now that's a good spot!!!

Only one I can remember (apart from the Queen) was Katy Price's horrible pink RR heading down the A9 north of Perth.

dragons den's James Caan - JC1 - Roller
Dragons Den's Theo Paphitis - R4Man or RYM4N - Maybach

I would be surprised if Caan has got his hands on JC 1 as, according to the owner quite recently, 'he never, ever, ever will whilst I have a breath in my body'

JC1 is owned by someone in Solihull. See it quite regularly on a FFRR. I think the owner also has 1JC on a Bentley CGT.

Richard O'Brien (Rocky Horror show/Crystal Maze)
Saw walk in to visit someone at the RSCH, then about 40minutes later saw a 50s silver cloud (I think) Rolls, noticed the car then noticed that he was driving it.
Also was sat in traffic at the bottom end of the m40, 2 police motorbikes rode up and waved everyone in to the sides to create a gap down the middle, fking prince charles in a red vauxhall omega. (it was a long time ago)

Was doing some touristy stuff in London a few years ago, walking over Blackfriars bridge and in the traffic was a red Ferrari Enzo. It was the first one I'd ever seen - I think they'd only just become available - and even being less of a petrolhead back then I was still amazed to see it so I kind of bent down from the pavement to look at the car and inside was Rod Stewart in the passenger seat and a blonde lady driving dressed in a full red Ferrari racing outfit.

[TomN94]

Do you remember than blonde lass, the one from Big Brother, got her tits out on the front of every magazine going, Channelle something or other. Well yeah, I saw her, driving a Mini One, admittedly she did live on my route to college..
