Jamiroquai's Jay Kay

Singer Jay Kay ? you know, the one with the big hat ? has a Mercedes Grocer once owned by Coco Chanel. But the Jamiroquai frontman is really more of a muscle car guy. In his fleet of 37 vehicles ? including motorbikes and staff cars ? are the likes of a Porsche 911 GT3, Aston Martin DB7, and four Ferraris including a rare black Enzo. Clearly in love with the Italian car, of which only 400 were ever built, he pays tribute to it on his song 'Black Devil Car'.

But earlier this year the singer landed in his own personal hell when a pastry chef pelted the prized Ferrari with stones, inflicting damage of almost #10 000. It was over a girl ? which brings us neatly to the music video for 'Cosmic Girl', which Kay used as opportunity to show off three of his other cars.

And showing off is something the 39-year-old clearly likes to do. Once claiming to have hit 280km/h on a public road, he's twice had his licence suspended for excessive speeding ? including an incident where he was, uhm, rushing home, worried that a female stalker was going to burn it down.

Rowan Atkinson

As Mr Bean he drives a lime-green and black British Leyland Mini 1000. As Rowan Atkinson he prefers something a little flashier. Like an Aston Martin or two, preferably taken from film sets. The DB7 Vantage from spy spoof 'Johnny English' is now parked in his garage as is the V8 Zagato from the relatively unknown '80s flick 'The Tall Guy'.

But like the accident prone character he's most famous for, Atkinson has had a couple of scrapes. He plowed the Zagato into a barrier while racing it at an Aston Martin Owners Club track event. But more painfully, he crashed his burgundy McLaren F1 into the back of an Austin Metro. Although he was travelling at less than 50km/h, the Gordon Murray-designed supercar, of which only 106 were ever built, had to go back to the factory for a rebuild.

Unsurprisingly though for an engineering graduate his interest extends beyond driving fast or crashing. He's written for motoring mags like Car and Evo, penned and starred in 'The Driven Man' about his car fetish, and has a licence to drive trucks.

Just don't expect to find him in a Porsche.

"They're wonderful cars, but I know I could never live with one," ol' rubberface has said.

"Somehow, the typical Porsche people ? and I wish them no ill ? are not, I feel, my kind of people. I don't go around saying that Porsches are a pile of dung, but I do know that psychologically I couldn't handle owning one."
