That Ferrari has been beaten with the ugly stick, or do I need to go to Specsavers?

I say good on him. He has some cash, loves cars and has personal favourites which some may decry. He's just like me really, except he is rich and talented.

I've never met him, but I've seen him on telly a bit and I get the impression he's the sort of chap who if you got chatting to him, would take you for a ride in whatever car he had out at the time, not to show off, but so you could share the enjoyment.

Loved his early stuff, more recently not so much.

Jay Kay does at least drive and enjoy his cars. I've seen him around in the SL a number of times, and he's not afraid to just park up and leave it.

If I knew what I was getting into, I wouldn't have done it...and I would have been wrong.

So he got rich by being crap? No, he has talent, but just not a talent that appeals to you, or to me to be honest. But I find his enthusiasm for cars entertaining.

Wonder if he is in Pebble Beach at the moment?  A Gulf Ford GT40 just sold for US$10 million...

Actually, that doesn't really seem like his thing.

Yes. Like the bloke himself, though.

You know, I do believe that is a 'pec'...

Always found him to be quite irritating in interviews. But what comes across on TV is probably nothing like reality. Although I'm hoping that doesn't apply to Fiona Bruce because she comes across as gorgeous and one day I WILL marry her. She's gonna love the Corolla!

I'm sorry, she won't be able to marry you because she'll be too busy round my place getting it on with Susanna Reid.
