Tom Huddlestone (again Derby County) was in front of me travelling through Nottingham, top end of Derby Road where it meets the hill down to the city centre.

I'm sure I've read he lives in a village Notts way, so I reckon he was heading home.

He’s Nottingham born, his Mum still lives there. He owns a large property portfolio in the area too. Not sure if he’s living local again. Talking of well known people who are Nottingham born and bred still living in the area:

Cricketer Stuart Broad (house for sale, not sure if staying in area) - Range Rover.
Actress Vicky McClure I once saw in a Jaguar XF.
Boxer Carl Froch - Ferrari Portofino and Mercedes G-Class.
Kenneth Clarke, former MP including Chancellor - Audi A3 and an Audi R8.
Chef Sat Bains (originally a Derby lad) - Range Rover Sport SVR.

Nick Hancock lives just up the road from me, last time I saw him he was driving a gold coloured qashqai. How the other half live!

Seven or eight years ago I saw Rick Parfitt driving a Maserati 3200 very sedately through Norbiton. When I mentioned this momentous event in the office I was told he lived just the other side of the river in Teddington.

Richard (aka Lord) Attenborough stopped to let me cross the road in Richmond once. He was in his Rolls Royce

Snap, Richard Attenborough being chauffeured sitting in the back of IIRC a Phantom IV with a top hat on around West End. He looked like the Lord of the World.

Jacob Rees-Mogg lives in the next village over. Frequently see him in his 70's Bentley absolutely hooning it round bends at an alarming lean...

Frank Bruno being driven in a red Rolls on the Leighton Buzzard bypass. He lives nearby, next to a certain type of individual caravan site. Apparently there's an agreement in place about not bothering each other.

Err I think it’s ‘they’ drive a Mercedes GLE, even though there’s only one of him. Or them. Or something.

Anyway, saw Graham Norton in a black Lexus convertible in central London about 15 years ago.

But I bet the temptation was there.

That reminds me, about thirty years ago I saw Dave Lee Travis driving a Mitsubishi Shogun with the plate 1DLT, can't even remember where it was, but he was well known at the time.

Once had Prince Charles tailing me on a ‘spirited’ drive along the A272 in his Aston Martin DB6, with his protection team following him.

I used to see Frank at Springs Health Farm in Leicestershire.

He used it regularly and his Arnage (reg FB1) always took pride of place in the car park.

Also attended a golf tournament at Woburn promoted by Ian Poulter who had his own designated spot there for his Ferrari.

Oh and Hugh Grant lived on the adjacent street to me in Chelsea and I often saw him in his Ferrari.
