"Celebrity" CSL owners?

[danp]

Any others out there, apart from myself of course?



An old article, but didn't realise Guy Martin used to have one:

‘I had a BMW E46 CSL when I was 21,’ Guy tells us. ‘It was a great car. I thought the Porsche GT3 RS would be better, but it was too hardcore. I couldn’t even fit my helmet in the back, because of the rollcage and fire extinguisher. It might have been faster on a lap of Donington, but on the roads around here it wasn’t. And it screamed at you – the red wheels, the red stripes… So I got rid.’

There have been long sabbaticals from sports car ownership when Guy relies solely on vans for transport. Sometimes a car comes along that he decides he needs. Sometimes he’s wrong. Between the GT3 and the Aston was a brand new E92 BMW M3 V8. ‘I drove it home and thought, “What have I done?” The novelty wore off before I even got home. I parked it up and didn’t even look at it.’ It was sold with 3000 miles on the clock and the 85bhp Transit was Guy’s road transport for a year. ‘I’ve learnt to heel-and-toe in the Transit,’ he grins.

Love the E92 M3 comment.
