Arran man Andrew Driver met one of his heroes last week when Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond dropped into his work place.
Andrew lives in the Cotswolds and works at Donnington Brewery near Stow on the Wold, described as ‘the most picturesque brewery in Britain’.
Hammond and the Top Gear team were at the brewery to film road testing of the Pagani Zoda F, one of the fastest supercars in the world.
The car has a 7.3 litre V12 engine with a top speed of 220 miles per hour and can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. It also costs a cool £950,000.
Andrew said that the car was brought to the brewery grounds on the back of a low-loader lorry and the team were all very approachable. However, he was disappointed not to have a shot in the car, but maybe he would have had trouble fitting inside it.
The Top Gear programme featuring the Pagani Zoda will be screened next Spring.
