i know with my job i meet a few famous people. (most of the time not even realizing who they are).
Friday it happened again. was chatting with a customer about cars and bikes and a little bit later on the conversation it came up that he does drive some fast cars.
what a nice guy to talk with and down to earth.

It's like a thread where the OP name drops to show how cool he is but without the actual name.

A friend of mine, lets just say he's very big in Norway, likes that too.

I'm a bit lost with this thread too, but...

Didn't ex-BTCC driver and Autocar contributor Phil Bennett hold the production car 'Ring record at one stage? Was that in a Radical?

A friend of mine is a DHL delivery driver, and the week after the Olympics, he delivered a package to Mo Farah's house, he updated Facebook a few minutes before going to deliver, 15 minutes later, he tweeted that when he arrived, Mo was a very nice person, Bolt was at his house at the same time hanging out, so it was 2 for the price of one!

Yeah, well, I once served BTCC champion James Thompson chips on room service at the Donington Thistle hotel in the mid 90's.

Beat that.
