Any one met them or other Top- 5th- gear guys? On autofair or in ..supermarket(those who live in UK probably) or just on the street? If yes, do you have a pic?

I plan to go to some autofair and wait till they come there and make some pic with "to JW members or something" sign :)

Stood next to vicky a couple a times at various race meets around the british scene, as she commentates and guest drives quite a bit. Unfortunately no pics, as that would just have made me look wierd, you kinda have to play it cool in the padock so u dont look like a prat, and treat them wiv a bit of respect.

I think asking a famous person you admire if you can take him/her in picture is a form of respect :)

I saw/met Tiff Needel last year in person when I think it was in Snetterton or something (sorry I am bad with british town/circuit names) He was a guest there and was racing a Ginetta G20. The owners of Ginetta Cars are friends of my Father (they rallied in Himalyan Rally, in India about 20 years back). So he had invited us to the race. When I saw Tiff Needel I was so excited, I shook hands with him and couldnt say a word (donno why, but even he was talking to some engineer, so I didnt bother him much). I have a few pic of him, that I took on my Mobile..

It was awesome! Actually I come from India, and we tend to look up to Tiff/Jeremy just like they were Schumacher or McRae.. So to have shook hands with him and then to have seen him drive live was a great opportunity.
And the best part was I got to drive a Ginetta G33, a Rover V8! engine :D

As TT said I think that taking a pic with them is showing some kind of respect :wink:
