Default What celebritity would you most like to see on Top Gear (UK)
After watching quite a few of the boxing day episodes on series 12 Top Gear it got me to thinking of a few celebs I would like to see in a reasonably priced car go around the Top Gear Track.

My number one pick would be Vince McMahon (WWE fame) and am curious as to who you would like to see.

Chopper... I'd kill to see his lack of driving skills, and then the excuses used to make it seem like it wasn't his fault!

Other then that, being a skater, Bam Margera, he loves his cars but i suspect he cant drive for crap..

Ozzy has just got his driver's licence - on the 19th attempt over 30 years.
I reckon he'd get lost going around the track. Legend as he is he's done some damage.

I'd like to see what effect 400km/h would have on Robin Williams' humour.

I would like to see a return of the racing driver power board. I think Lewis Hamilton was techically the fastest but had a wet lap in the Suzuki Liana. The stig was top but only just on a dry lap. I think the competitor there is good. But have touring car drivers and rally stage drivers too.

I also like celebrity friends, or arch rivals. Where somebody MUST beat their friend.

Pamela Anderson, would be interesting watching her "jubbly bits" getting in the way on a skid pan. Or Lassie, better looking than Pamela.

I was thinking Jordan - purely for scientific purposes in regards to the effect her two huge airbags would have on her driving - also because she's a Pom, which they usually bring on the show.

Or another in the line of busty models - bring back Madison Welch!

Need more guests like Jodie Kidd - looks and driving ability.
