After thirty years one of the most exciting events in the UK has to be the British International Motor Show.
The show is going to be full of celebrities and the organisers have decided to throw one big party in the form of Dock Rock. Driving home the sounds over the ten days will be a host of acts masterminded by Harvey Goldsmith, including A-HA, Van Morrison, UB40, Roxy Music, Simple Minds, Sugababes, Katherine Jenkins, Jools Holland & his rhythm & blues orchestra and The Australian Pink Floyd. The ExCel Dock is about to rock.
Meanwhile the big motor companies are on the brand-wagon and searching for top celebrity faces to mention when it comes to who drives their vehicles.
So who drives what?
Maria Sharapova seems to be rather fond of big chunky vehicles from the Land Rover stable, apparently a big fan of the latest Freelander 2, although she does admit to having Range Rovers after becoming addicted on her first drive at the age of 15!
Celebrity fans of the green scene include Hollywood Toyota Prius drivers Billy Crystal, Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, Leonardo diCaprio and Cameron Diaz.
King of cool, Bryan Ferry is just down right greedy when it comes to cars, he's gone from a 1957 Studebaker to a series of Morris Minor convertibles, 1989 Corvette, Land Rover Defender, BMW Mini, and he reckons that the best car he has ever owned was the long-wheel base Audi A8. That's all coming from the man whose band, Roxy Music, toured in a big old clunky Daimler in the seventies.
