Someone asked earlier about Ryan Giggs yes he did have an impreza 22b this was about 20 years ago. He also had a cataluna model ? nice bloke used to live nearby with Beckham, cantona and schmicheal etc.

Beckham pre Victoria used to have his red ferrari out quite a bit can't remember the model but most often his jag xkr was around a lot. Spoke to him on his way back from London fashion week with Posh who was his girlfrie d at the time. He rated it as a nice GT car.

Different tack this. In an idle moment, thought I’d see which celebs had bought a California. Not so interesting as an individual choice, but quite a range of celebs who all chose one...

Paddy McGuiness

Hugh Grant

Simon Cowell

Gordon Ramsay

Jermaine Jackson

Chris Evans

Mel B

He was an awful driver anyway William, it's quite well documented!
Yes, he was shocking apparently. Like the time he went on holiday to Scotland and needed a bigger car to take the family and luggage.



On 1st July 1969, somewhere in Sutherland, John lost control of the Maxi and drove into a ditch. He needed17 stitches for a facial wound, Yoko had 14 stitches and Kyoko had four. Julian Lennon suffered from shock. He then had the car as a sculpture in his garden.

I’ll do some F1 drivers


Mansell liked a Testarossa



From recollection this is how we found out Raikkonen was going to Ferrari - someone spotted an Enzo in his garage and they were impossible to get unless you knew someone!

Hamilton well known car nut:








As is Button (got married in that GTO!)




And Nico loves his Pagoda

Coming back to boxers, I once spent the day at Nigel Benn’s House photographing him. Firstly, being a middleweight I was initially surprised at how tall he was as he was similar in height to me (I’m 6’4”). Anyway, I digress, on his drive he had a Bentley Continental R or T, whichever had the shortened wheelbase, which was fine. Parked next to it he had a 959 — which he had had an aftermarket conversion to make it a convertible. Sorry, I didn’t take any pictures of it as I didn’t want to have to tell him I thought he was an idiot, for obvious reasons

Good old Bazza…

Who are "Bazza" and "The Lad himself"?

I'm amazed no-one's posted former footballer Steven Ireland and his Range-Rover Sport. Pictured here en-route to his grandma's funeral.......
