I have been blessed by having quite a few...'claims to fame' ...... 
The most recent was, of course, in Decembers issue of Complete Kit Car.......
Thanks for reminding me Lee! 
Not managed to get January's issue  ..so not seen 'the letter' .....

I went to school with Giggsy and use to do a bit of his homework.
I used to produce house music and released a white label that Fantazia and Carl Cox used / remixed.
I once saw a block of marijuana the size of a portable tv.
I used to hang about with Tyrone (from corrys) older brother.

I know this is old but its the first time I've seen it so I will ad a few. I served Breakfast to Ray Mears a few months ago and I was so star
struck that I couldn't talk.
My Brother met the Prince Of Wales once, weirdly it was in Holland, I think it was the 60th aniversary of Opperation Market Garden.
My Cousin was in correspondence with the Late John Peel for the last few years of his life and attended his funeral.

First time I've seen it to. There are some great claims to fame here:
Both my wife and I have claims to fame (sort of)
My wife was best friends with Jan Graveson. Who? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Graveson
My claim is more car (kart related) I met Lewis Hamilton as a 14 year old when I was testing at Rye House track he came down with his dad in a silver
C Class Merc with Lewis Hamilton Sponsored by Merc McLaren down the side. He took my kart out (I asked him for some set up feedback). Git was 1 1/2
seconds quicker then me out of the box!
My real claim is when he gave feedback on set up and I made the changes I got within 3 tenths of his time! I wouldn't let him back out in it
though! 
......and breathe!

Yep .... I bumped into Adam at Brands a few weeks ago when we were there as guests of a customer who had won his championship and was having a
'party' ..... I wasn't feeling at my best, but did ask Adam, he said Ian has them on his 'puter and he would get on it...but
nowt heard.......

I really don't have any claim to any sort of fame!!!
Well, my dad has an OBE, but that's about it!
Oh, and I've been to Le Mans in the fastest accelerating road car -
linky
though that was when it was only 640hp, it was 720 when I look a trip in it
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

I've got a few:
1 - Made page one of The Sun for assault on Pasty Kensit - (didn't really do it of course)
2 - Took papparazi pictures of: Princess Diana, Lord Litchfield, Joanna Lumley, Richard Gere, Bob Geldorf, Kate Moss, Peter Stringfellow and his 16
year old GF on a beach in Miami - made the tabloids, and various other lesser types
3 - Met Cher, all of Inxs, Liam Gallagher, various Playboy girls and page three girls including Jordan and Sam Fox, various boy bands whist working in
TV production
4 - Been on TV quite a few times whilst doing news production and in my present work as a vintage teddy specialist on various antique programmes like
Cash in the Attic.
Think that's it ...... it's all a bit of a blur these days....

Unlucky, while at the same time being very lucky to get away with having a bike smack into your neck and still be able to walk/breathe.

Yeah. It did sting a bit. 3 broken ribs and 2 verterbae. Although Leicester Royal didn't find them. Sent me home the same night despite vile
concussion (90 mins unconcious).
Took until another whoopsy in '82 before the NHS spotted the 'previous'.
