That article pisses me off. Reading it it would seem that the DM don't think people should be able to earn lots of money, that the BBC pay too much (surely Chris Evans made his money elsewhere, i dont see other radio 2 presenters driving such cars) and that if you do happen to work hard and be succesfull you should keep it to yourself.

What an absolute legend. When now faced with any motoring conundrum, I'm just going to ask myself, "what would Evans do?"

He really does come across as a bl00dy great bloke these days. Living the dream!

He let me have a sit in the Coburn car a while back at Maranellos. He'd left the keys in it!!!




Enjoy in good health, Chris.

Agreed, i've never met him, but i love how he shoehorns talking about cars into every breakfast show he does

yeah top bloke indeed, here he is with my other half at the goodwood fos last year, though laura wasn't as happy as my mum when she got his autograph-i'd never seen the old girl swoon before!

he couldn't have done more for the fans (despite the look on the face of the bloke in the background!) & if i liked him before i came away even more impressed after that.

Instead of 'what would Thora Hird do'

Looks like that guy in the back ground is checking out your bird's bum. Stalker shades!

Some people with nice cars don't always deserve to have them they are arrogant and have the "I'm considerably richer than yaw" about them.

Well from what I've heard Evans is certainly nor in that camp.

Love the comment now what would Evans do.

I pass this spot a minimum of twice a day - and the cars around it are often parked there. Whilst I don't know, I'd suggest it was likely he had to parallel park.

Is it is a reserved space?

What the hells wrong with the guy in white!

See what time the parking runs out on it ?!

Vernon Kay has an M400 Noble and when he does his Radio 1 weekend shows, one of the assistants has to run out and keep tpping up the metre for him Its become a regular on air joke!

I remember seeing Chris Evans in the maserati dealer in Hampshire somewhere when he was with Billie Piper. He was happily chatting away to people and gave a few autographs too.

I think he's got a Nissan GTR running around 600-650bhp also.

I would expect him to be on PH, though I'm sure he doesn't want his login name revealed

[DanDC5]

He's a near enough fully qualified PH'er, saw him on something not long ago and he's now powerfully built, has a stunning looking Mrs and is worth many money pounds. Legend.

Oh absolutely

[forzaminardi]

I can't stand his TV and radio shows, but good luck to him, he has very good taste in motors. Although it would be interesting to know what he'd choose if he didn't have bazillions in the bank.

Good man for actually using the things. To be fair, his finest moment surely is allowing James May to trundle around in the '250'. Regardless of wealth, that would make my bottom go a bit.

I dare say the Beebs liability insurance would cover it - especially as Chris is an employee.

Blowing smoke up his arse aside, it is always nice to see these cars being used so the PH'er on the street can get a fix.

I don't know about you lot, but I think the amount of exotica that used to be seen on the road seems to have dwindled in recent years.

He's sulking, I'd say.

Personally, for me it wouldn't be about the car being insured. Something that rare and special, i'd be gutted if it got 'pranged'. Even my TVR rarely gets test drives by friends, regardless of Insurance.
