The "a famous person drives the same car as me" game

peasant

right ...here's the deal ...whatever it is you drive, if there is someone famous owning the same car (owning ...not just driving it in a movie !) offer some proof (picture / video) and post it here.

The one with the most famous person wins.

And in order not to set the bar too low ..I'll start with Tom Hanks ...who also happens to be a proud owner of a VW Syncro van

proof ...5:30 into this vid

EDIT: wouldn't you know it ...youtube is "down for maintenance" at the minute

He had one in real life too.

Maria in Coronation Street inherited one from her dead husband, then promptly wrote it off

Yeah. He's got a 1.2 Active IIRC (was the base model in the UK for a time, they've got the 1.1 Eco now), I've the 1.4 100HP.

Where to start?

The Shah apparantly got the very first one back in '78. Carlos Sainz, Hans Stuck, Steven Spielberg, Eddie Murphy, Charlie Sheen, Jerry Seinfeld, David Letterman, Nicolas Cage, George Benson, George Lucas, Kim Carnes, Stanley Kubrick, Prince had one - yes in purple :rolleyes:. Steve Jobs (for sure he likes designs), Tom Selleck apparantly preferred his own to his company car

Maybe I should mention Julia Roberts, Martina Navratilova, Andre Agassi, Nick Faldo, Bill Cosby and George Harrison too? And Kim Jong Il and the Sultan of Brunei both have several of them :eek:

Googled a bit for pics / films but not much luck though

Oh and happy birthday, PaintDoctor
