Brian Johnson on Top Gear on Sunday

[JDC]

it's not Angus but I thought Twinfan and any other AC/DC fans might want to know

[Ratrod]

Thanks for the heads up.

It's Phill Rudd who's the real car nut in the band.

[Ratrod]

2nd place!

Brian's a better driver than I thought.

If he took that last corner a little better and weighed a little less he would have beaten JayKay.

[JDC]

maybe, but on that last corner you don't need to worry about getting speed out of it so the line and going off doesn't matter as much

I thought ACDC were all Aussies

[Philly Q]

No, Phil Rudd is the only native Australian in AC/DC!

The Youngs were born in Scotland (as was Bon Scott), Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams are both British.

It was weird watching Brian driving his lap, I've never seen his eyes before!  :lol:

[JDC]

just checked the times between brian and jaykay, 0.1 second, so as you said ratrod, last corner

Brian Johnson is a Geordie - does that count as British?

 :lol:

[Ted 'N' Leo]

Sorry?  Couldn't understand a word!   





Speaking of which, did anyone see Gazza on The Weakest Link?  He actually made the final two.

I don't have that strong of an accent actually, though every time I end up in London people look at you like you're speaking in tongues.

I though Brian came across as a really nice, down-to-earth sort of guy. Most front-men (of massive bands) tend to have huge egos and don't hide them well.

Yeah :lol: I saw some of that - didn't watch to the end though because I cannot stand Anne Robinson...

[mikeluke]

HTH

Not a Maccam then?

 :lol:

He actually came across as I expected (geordies and people from the north east generally being the most down to earth people in the country). Seemed a top bloke who actually does have an interest in cars.
