Cars famous people drive - Trilogy

Eric Morecambe drove a Rolls-Royce, but Ernie Wise drove a Saab. So too did Ian Botham, Raymond Baxter and Queen Beatrix of Holland. All over the world, from intellectuals to farmers, people loved Saabs for their shape, safety and sheer character.

Just wondering who drives what today?

Who gives a toss about safety? Neurotic, self-obsesed people who are always on faddy diets and cough affectedly if someone lights a cigarette 500 feet away. Walk their kids to school in high viz jackets as part of a pedestrian train (stranger danger, don't you know?).

Not interesting people at all.

Warren Buffet drives an old Lincoln Town car. Someone should tell the sales reps!

James Hunt famously drove an Austin A35 van.

Shame some on here are obsessed with knocking Saab.

World's tallest man - not exactly famous.

The world’s tallest living man, Leonid Stadnik, of the Ukraine, has squeezed himself into a new Chevrolet Tacuma. It was presented to him by Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko outside the presidential office in Kiev. Leonid was 2.5 meters (8 feet 5 inches) tall when he was declared the world’s tallest man by the Guinness Book of World Records.
