Many people would be happy with a red envelope slipping through the letterbox on February 14th, but for motorists taking part in a recent poll, a celebrity chauffeur was at the top of their Valentines Day wish list.
When one of the leading car purchase websites asked drivers to reveal their fantasy Valentine date and chauffeur, a resounding 62% claimed they would be bowled over to have Beckham at the wheel, while surprisingly, winner of ITVs Soap Star Superstar, Antony Cotton, beat Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom to scoop second place.
The blokes were also raring to go with their fantasy females. Male motorists couldnt get Kylie out of their heads, with more than half of respondents wanting the pint-sized pop star to spin them around.
According to the survey, UK drivers have a sense of humour and like to be kept entertained on long journeys but also realised how important it is to be safe on the road and stick with a driver who can keep their calm.
So whom would I choose? Clarkson without a doubt, because, while chauffeuring me around, he could not escape from me banging on about the attributes of women drivers and the practicality of family cars! Trouble is, how long, if at all, will he keep calm?
