Celebrities and their Porsches

Thought it would be cool to see pics of celebrities with their Porsches in one place. Post 'em if you got 'em.

that photo of lennon and cynthia is very rare indeed. ive been a beatle fanatic for 30 years and have never seen that one in any book or on the interwebs. wow cool. ive also never read in any book about him owning or driving a 911 and much has been discussed about the beatles car interests

ill also speculate that that was not Lennon's 911 and even go so far as to say he was just posing in it for a photo because he was known for not driving at all because he was a terrible driver...he crashed in Scotland and was almost killed and as far as i have read, had a driver for his Rolls Royce. I cant imagine him handling a 911 gearbox very well at all

I don't have a photo, & she is a relatively minor celebrity, but years ago I was very surprised to see Ann B. Davis - housekeeper on "The Brady Bunch" - driving a 914 at Rocky Mountain National Park.

There has to be a photo out there of Robert Redford in a Porsche - I know he loves them. And I believe actor Hugh Laurie is a Porsche owner.

Photos of the old time celebs are interesting but unless its someone like Seinfeld or the like I could care less about the new crop of idiots. Like the two lesbo's in the silver Porsche above, IMHO they would be doing better driving a Chevy Volt...

Great point. With the exception of McQueen and Dean, the rest are just idiots. They have no appreciation for these cars, just behaving as they always do, attention whores.

No, not even 1%. We have gotten into a society that glorifies people like the two above and Rosey "the spoon made me do it" Odonnell along with Sean Penn, Susan Saranwrap and on on.

Going back to McQueen, Sean Connery, Grace Kelley, Paul Newman and so on, now they were stars and for the most part were wonderful. Most of the current crop of liberal lib-tards I would feed to the pigs. Thats why I rarely go to any hollywierd movies these days. Why support idiots like that.

Thanks - never saw this one before either until I did a Google search today.

I struggled with the Ellen one, especially after seeing the Lindsey Lohan "crop o' lib-tard" pics but decided to go with it since she seems to be into the cars pretty well.

EPIC FAIL :-)
