What are celebs like Tiff drivin?
 
I drive Vecta Caravan 1.6 16v :? but still fun... when its snowing :mrgreen:

But what I wanna know is, anyone know what celebs like Tiff Needell or Vicky Butler-H. driving?
I know Jeremy drives SL55.

well i think tiff has a 911 turbo.. he takes about how much he would love a 360. as if he wouldnt have one if he wanted it.

AlienDB7 01-31-2004 10:59 AM

VB-H drives a S2000. "Shorty" richard has a porsche (not sure which one) and james may drives that classic british car featured in top gear series 2's first ep.

AlienDB7 01-31-2004 11:07 AM

Actually found out the model for richard's porsche, it's a vintage 911. "Richard owns a vintage Porsche 911, two Land Rovers, a motorbike and several kit cars"

Yes i found this odd as well. You would think he could afford a 360. His jobs seems as though it would pay enough.

does anyone else find Vicky Butler-H ugly??

Yes, I saw he also owned a Landcruiser. Thought the Ferrari and Mercedes was the primary so didn't care to mention it. :wink:

Don't know how old this is, at least not very up to date;

"According to http://www.car.driver.co.uk/stars.htm he owns:
Ferrari 355 GTS
Jaguar XJR
Toyota Landcruiser"

dutchmasterflex 02-07-2004 08:41 PM

I'm pretty sure I recently read that Tiff has one of those new 530i's..

BMW.. the real drivers car ;)

Yes I know that but it is humanly possible to own multiple cars especially when you have as much money as he does.

lucduc76 02-09-2004 12:26 PM

I met VBH in England at a Jamiroquai concert, she was on her yellow Ducati monster 600!! I think I lovr her! :roll:

NYCHonda 02-11-2004 04:09 PM

I thought that I read it somewhere that Vicky BH has a yellow Civic VTi or something.

firdausasri 02-14-2004 10:36 AM

It could be the fact that Tiff didn't get as much discounts as he would like from Ferrari dealer. Hey, it happens with my friends you know. [;)]

vivky is not good looking ,shes is sexy

adlinyusman 02-18-2004 11:07 AM

JC also ordered a Ford GT, and he's also one of the first ones in britain to receive it. He regrets selling the 355 as he said in an article for the Sun, "when i look at the 355 sitting alone in the garage, i feel awful, but i don't mind leaving the SL55 there for weeks on end." I agree with him (not that i have an SL55, but i do have a 355), i take her out for a spin daily, and constantly approaching top speed. It is a beautiful car to drive, with a precise gearbox, and that noise! Bello machina!
