Who would you Drive from Dover to Swiss Alps?

[XJR500bhp]

What would you take?

Each of the celebrities need to get to Switzerland, they have to go in their specific car, which one would you chauffeur? One overnight stop is allowed, no sharing of rooms, fuel paid for.

No touching allowed

[ewenm]

Aston for me - no overnight stop required.

Rover Metro 1.1 with Cheryl Cole, thrashing the nuts off the car all the way has to be more fun than pootling a Ferrari. Or not.

And then there would no doubt be much more thrashing of nuts in hotel room on said stopover

EDIT: I think in absolute seriousness I'd take the 458 and wind the window down so all I could hear was road noise and engine revs, not Carr's inane banter.

I would like to drive the Ferrari but can't stand Alan Carr's voice so opted for the Aston on the premise that I can put up with Gok Wan's voice!

[nicky.mattsson]

Never did a 1.2 CVH

As for the poll. I would stay at home, the only person out of the group i could put up with is Alan Carr (father in law says i look like him) but i dont like Fezzas. Unless i can have Mr Carr and the Aston?

Sorry, a 1.3 is correct?

Stay at home, no way

I'm glad I wasn't the only one

Charlize, and if the Fiesta is a mk4 its still a fun drive. Winner.

Wait, what's a CVH?

Bit of an anorak moment.....

In the Fiesta i think you could of had either a 1.3 or a 1.6 CVH. The 1.1 was a OHC Pushrod iirc.

I would really stay at home if i couldnt have my choice above. Cant stand any of them but he is the least offensive and the Aston would be amazing.

Sorry for the DP. (Beaten to it, so not quite a DP)

CVH = Compound Valve angle Hemispherical combustion chamber engine, also known as Considerable Vibration and Harshness

It's an ancient and noisy engine used by Ford in the olden days

Hang on a second, I change my mind. Ferrari 458, try to deal with the idiot in the passenger seat, and then swap him rescuing Charlize from the shoulder when the Fiesta blows up.

I went for the metro and Cheryl, my first car was a metro 1.1 and it stood up to three years and 40,000 miles of abuse (and services), so im rather fond of metros. Cheryl isn't bad either.

Aston with the radio full volume, and him in the boot.

The RR and a stop would definitely be required !!!

[andywaterfall]

If I could drive any celebrity, living or dead, to Switzerland, it'd be Alan Carr, and he'd be dead.



(shamelessly nicked from somewhere, can't remember where though)

[XJR500bhp]

Surprised at the choices

[Bernard80]

OOOH Gok and the Aston no question, Aston being all time favourite and I am girl so we can talk strappy shoes as well. Great trip.

Charlize and I wouldn't give a feck what the car was to be honest......

[EDLT]

How big is the boot in a 458, would Alan Carr need chopping up to get the lid shut?

[petrolveins]

Trying to think about this in a realistic way, it would have to be the 458 and Alan Carr, I mean great car, and I find him hilarious. It would be a brilliant trip, I doubt Cheryl Cole or the others would be half as interesting. I could see them being great for the first hour or so before they'd get bored being in the car and probably go to sleep.
