How did you know it was his 911? You are a fan, aren't you. A scary one.

Anyway, met and worked with him many times. Nice guy. No doubt likes time to himself as well, like anybody else.

Plus I remember in a previous episode of Fifth Gear him saying he had one.
OK enough with the stalker comments. If I had waited outside for hours on end then yes maybe but all I did was wait for 20 minutes for a one-time chance to say hello to someone I am a fan of and show my appreciation and congratulate him on his win.
Sorry if that comes across all a bit too much...

Thats changed. First post you congratulated him on being a Journalist.Sorry if that comes across all a bit too much...
He is probably sat in a pub with his fellow racing driver mates tonight, saying that some weirdo stood out in the freezing cold outside a dry cleaners & wanted to shake his hand on being a Journalist.
So the bloke get harassed after dropping a few suits off for cleaning. Slagged off for not being a chatty friendly bloke with a total stranger in the street, then gets his car and its number plate posted on a very popular website.
What next OP? His home phone number? Maybe some pics of him and the mrs relaxing?
He was reasonable enough, I am sure if you met him at a pit walkaround for a BTCC round or at a car related event he would have been more talkative, but everyone has the right to a day off.

... and he is an arrogant wr
Saw his grey 911 Turbo parked outside the dry cleaners near where I live and thought "Wow! Its Jason Plato" so I hung around to say hello and meet him. 20 minutes in freezing 2 degree cold and he comes out and I say hello and he shakes my hand. I say that I really like his car reviews and all that to which he just says "yeah yeah nice yeah, bye". Gets into his Porsche and drives off. Can't even spare 10 seconds for a fan.
Its true what they say, don't meet your heroes.
