Thumbs up TOP GEAR - Who was your favourite 'Star in a reasonably priced car'?

Ian Wright gets my vote........

Upon crashing his Ferrari:

Had to stop myself from running away, as I realised that I did actually have insurance and tax
....as for his lap

.....David Soul looked like he was having a tough time out there, IIRC his face resembled a beetroot and there was an awful lot of huffing and puffing as he made his way through both Lianas.

Ellen MacArthur was very impressive - fastest time and she was still pushing to try again because she felt she could go faster.

Hes his adopted son, not actual son.

Right was good - total nutter on the track, but still set a good time! Ellen McArther (sp?) was good too - came across really well I thought.

Ranulf Fiennes gets my vote too. The guy is just amazing and what he has achieved is beyond belief! how many people can run 7 marathons in 7 days and in 7 different continents?? All only 4 months after a major heart operation He is HARDCORE

Fantastic
