For those of you who haven't heard of Top Gear its a British TV program all about cars.. hosted by a really irritating man called Jeremy Clarkson

Anyway i digress..

Nick was on talking about the Fiat 500 - it was his vote for best car of all time!!

He was on for a good 5 minutes.. it was nice to see him - he's looking well. He really does seem like a nice bloke

I think I would enjoy talking cars with him. I'm a fan of "most" motor car related issues, and he has had his fair share of real life experiances with some very sweet cars. Jay Leno too, although I think his is an idiot, has a lot of very cool cars and knowledge about them.

I think Nicks brother used to host a show about cars too, i think hos name was Tony but i cant remember, you could certainly tell it was Nicks brother.

Nick turns up quite a bit on car programmes here in the UK and a few other programmes as well. I remember seeing a programme called ''Whatever you Want'' which was a quiz type thing where the contestants had a particular interest and they would compete for a prize related to their interest, in this case it was cars, and the guy that won was a Floyd fan and low and behold Nick turns up in a car to take the winner off to get his prize, i thought that was pretty cool. Hmm I wonder if they talked about cars or Floyd?

Probably a bit of both. Nick strikes me as a rather outgoing chap that would sit around talking about cars all afternoon.

Alarmingly l thought Nick looked like a fusion between Michael Winner and David Pleat!!!

As for Clarkson's description of Nick as a rock god, great drummer but ROCK GOD???
