Shit I forgot that - Thats my number 1, the next Jeremy Clarkson (Top Gear)

Believe it or not I have an ex boyfriend who does this. Started off blogging about cars he liked, he's now a millionaire and gets flown around the world to test drive and review cars for his site. No joke.

I helped him start that blog, still waiting for my royalties... :angry4:

On the up side, I still catch up with him now and then and he has let me drive some cars around the block, cars that I should probably not even touch. :shock:
