Feenix:
You know who Ron Haslam is ■■
A very fast pair of sideboards on two wheels? 
Never met anyone famous whilst trucking. But quite a few when I was a taxi driver and motorcycle courier.
gareth hunt on sommesous services,
a nice bloke, who seemed really surprised to be recognised by a bunch of uk drivers weekended there, he chatted for a while and then asked for privacy while they went to eat.
privacy duly respected he and his family came back and chatted with us for a good hour, he even seemed well happy tooting his horn heading out of sommesous with a dozen uk drivers saluting him with his trademark coffee bean shake.
this wasnt from driving but when i did security work at festivals etc (yes it was a rubbish job)
i was round where the tour buses were parked and some tall guy and his huge minders came round the corner playing wtih their american football and it proceeded to hit me in the back of the head…
none other than snoop dogg lol, hes a tall tall man.
im like 5ft 11 and i had to break my neck to look up at him and his minders lol.
david soul has shopped in the supermarket i work for as does andrew lloyd webbers house keeper 
Gave a lift to Mick Hucknall in France along time ago he had broken down.
I was in Hospital (Woolich) with Simon Weston…agree with Gibsla
Also went on the ■■■■■ with Jim Davidson when he came down to Punta Gorda…you will have to of been there to know where it is…He has even used the events of the evening in one of his shows

Being in the removals game you get to see a few people not necassarily celebrities but people who you have heard of.
I moved Matt Le Tissier, a former footballer a couple of years ago. I have moved Trinny, out of Trinny and Susanah, the 2 birds who like to strip women off and tell them how to dress!!
We do a lot of work for the old Kenco coffee advert lady, whos name is Betina Kunzl.
We also move the Dire Straits bass player John Illsley, he is a really nice bloke.
Others than are not famous but are in the industry include the owner of MCD car transporters. Took a truckload to Cheshire and another truckload to Portugal. Also moved one of the past presidents of Volvo Trucks back to Sweden last year. He had 2 45’ trailers stuffed but again was a really nice bloke. Job was a pain in the arse cos we could only get a luton transit in the collection address and ended up transhipping the entire job which took bloody ages!!
Clarkson in the airport queue at Malpensa - same off TV as on
Edwina Currie - at a Lady Truckers do. Hate her politics -but she was surprisingly well informed and unpatronising
The late Anita Roddick of Body Shop fame - human dynamo
Anneka Rice - on a relief convoy to Croatia - a consumate cow
Vinnie Jones - muppet
Ricky Tomlinson at Truckfest. One of the few really genuine celbs. When his PR started tapping theirr watch told them to go way and pointed out people had come miles to see him and deserved a fair crack. Top fella.
off loading cages at brighton train station years ago and willie rushton (god rest him) threatened to push me under a train if i let on he was hiding behind my wagon!!! v. funny and friendly guy.
I was privileged to work with Madiba (Nelson Mandela) and his security advisor’s when I was in the South African security services mostly for his public appearances in South Africa. Most of the planning for the various engagements were done months in advance. A true gentleman with no airs and graces.
In 1985, whilst delivering a load of Red Stripe to Fullers’ Brewery in
Chiswick, I met Peter Bowles who was filming an episode of Lyttons
Diary by the thames just behind the brewery. Really nice guy, he shook
my hand and passed the time of day.

Don’t know (for definate) who the current ones are as I’ve not been there for the last 2 series. The earlier ones names are all well known to be linked to ‘The Stig’ but you’d be hard pressed to get anything confirmed untill Top Gear reveals them & holds a reunion or such like.
It’s not top secret & there was nothing to sign or any official mention about not revealing identities, it’s just part of the lore that surrounds the production.
AIUI it was always intended to keep ‘The Stig’ anonymous so they could pick from whoever’s available to suit filming schedules.
