Yes, because having dirty fingers is the end-all and be-all of being a car enthusiast

[Good1Spd]

and if you have an automatic you are a loser as well

Does Reynolds have other bikes? The one here on the forum is a stock "off the rack" Ducati. Don't get me wrong, it is a cool bike, but the Brad Pitt bikes from this forum.....oof!

when i was a kid (13 ish) i saw Billy F. Gibbons from ZZ Top in a weird customized E36 M3. the hood had all these louvers cut into it and instead of a BMW logo on the hood it was an 8ball.

With this post, you have single-handedly made the M3 cool.

If I ever get one, and someone tells me only douchebags with bluetooh earpieces drive them, I can say "so does Billy Gibbons... end of discussion!"

He does, but I couldn't find any photos, and I don't know what they are offhand.

Neil Peart (Rush)

has (or had) a BMW Z8

as evidenced by the cover (and text) of one of his books

[Ubryaj]

Is it just me or do most celebrities not have license plates on their cars? Just the dealer plate. If I remember there was a post on here about some supercar meet where most of them didn't have plates? How does this work...

[suicidesilence]

A lot of people in LA dont have plates, whether they are celebrities or not. Dont ask me why though.

[passwag02]

I read that Neil Peart is also a bike guy. After he tragically lost his wife and daughter in separate incidents, he spent some time traveling the US on one.

[greychinchilla]

Nick Mason from Pink Floyd may have one the most impressive car collections out there. It includes such goodness as a Mclaren F1, several old Ferrari race cars, a Porsche 962...

See some of it here:

According to that link, one of those cars is a former Gilles Villeneuve Ferrari F1 car

What a horrible story.....

Quote, originally posted by Wiki »

Soon after the culmination of Rush's Test For Echo Tour on July 4, 1997, Peart's daughter and only child, 19-year-old Selena Taylor, was killed in a single-car accident on the 401 highway near the town of Brighton, Ontario on August 10. His common-law wife of 22 years, Jacqueline Taylor, succumbed to cancer only 10 months later on June 20, 1998. Peart, however, maintains that her death was the result of a "broken heart" and called it "a slow suicide by apathy. She just didn't care."

[Ubryaj]

I need to try driving around in my Miata with just a fancy sounding dealership plate and see if I can get away with it. If they pull me over, I'll just say I'm famous, how dare you to not know who I am. But no really, I want to know how they can do this.

instead of blue tooth (which of course they didn't have in 1995..) he had his funk black hat on the one with the curly dread lock looking things...

That's right, I forgot to mention that. He rides BMW bikes, his first one given to him by his late wife. After the passing of his daughter and then wife, he rode that bike about 55,000 miles, from Canada, up to Alaska, down through the States to Central America...read his book titled "Ghost Rider", and you'll get the full narrative, describing the journey and his state of mind.

Even today, he rides a BMW bike from venue to venue on concert tours.

I had a pic of Kobe Bryant leaving Staples in his Aprilla motorcycle. I'll post as soon as I go through all my Compact Flash cards

haha wow you're awesome mad respect... NOT. To be a car enthusiast all you need to do is enjoy driving. If you're making the big bucks, you don't get down and dirty with your car when its broken, instead you pay someone like you're self to do it.
