If you could take the place of somebody for just one day, male or female, past or present, who would it be and when?

I think I'd have to choose Neil Armstrong and the day of the first moon landing.

But shirley she didn't get pleasure by simply being megan fox ??

I don't quite follow? Unless it's your mind, in her body, stood infront of a mirror? otherwise you could be mo mowlem and wouldn't know the difference.

I'd like to hamilton, crossing the line in brazil - not knowing either way, then being told you've done it. You are the F1 World Champion. smile

I know it's not particularly interesting, but if I can stretch the day to 35 hours I wouldn't mind being Brock Yates, crossing America in a Ferrari Daytona back in the '70's. Or Jeremy Clarkson on the day he was filming in the Alps for his recent DVD with all those lovely GT's. smile

Reminded of my boy hood desire by an earlier thread. Sadly this would be part make believe but if I had the chance I would want to fly on a low level mission in a mosquito through a Fjord maxing out both engines. I'd sell my soul to the devil just to be a passenger in one.

Brock Yates is a very cool one.

I might fancy being Keith Moon during one of The Who's better concerts. Or Stewart Copeland during one the Police's concerts. If only I had half their talent.

Maybe one of the historic Le Mans winners... someone from the 60s/70s? Possibly one of the early 1920s winners in a Bentley or those fabulous AutoUnions, or a Mercedes.

An entrant in the Mille Miglia. Stirling Moss would be cool. Right person in the right car.

Wyatt Earp during the day of the shootout at the OK Corral - around mid-afternoon on Wednesday, October 26, 1881. I believe Earp never actually got shot/hit in his entire life although I accept his life was hardly one of euphoria as he lost so many of his friends (Bat Masterson and Doc Holliday to name two), his first wife and his brother Morgan, as well as seeing another brother brutally wounded which left him crippled for life.



But I'd actually like to go back, as me, and meet my wife again for the first time.
