Theres an episode of Vroom Vroom where they do a bit on Maxi Jazz from Faithless, he has got a baby blue Mk2 RS2000 and also a 400bhp Saph, He even mentions the Mk2 in one of their songs.

Found this from an interview with maxi jazz from faithless

Ah, yeah, this really is a passion, if I had more time I'd be more involved. I got my Ford Escort and it's gorgeous. So I'm driving it around and thinking to myself, "I can't be driving just to the studio and the chip shop and back, it's gonna get battered, so I'll have to get myself another car to run around in and keep this for Sundays." My first thoughts were, "well I'll just buy anything and then I thought to myself, Max you can't do that, you cannot just go and buy anything 'cos you'll totally upset your day if you've got to spend so much time in the car, you're not gonna like it." I only like a few cars, so that was 98% gone and to cut a long story short, I bought a Sierra Sapphire 'RS Cosworth'. I bought it off this old racing driver Dave Brodie. He's got this race engine building concern down near Silverstone. He completely rebuilds the engine, so this one's got 370 bhp, you put your foot down and fire comes out of the exhaust!

some stick in his playing career of being a ‘donkey’, i.e. someone who cant play football, and just kicks the ball (or player) when they come near him. This hurt him, as he says so in the book, never mind big boys don’t cry, this crowd jeering really affected the Arsenal and England captain, and although this was the time he was starting to become an alcoholic, it hurt him, especially as he is not, he can pass, and has scored a few goals for his team.

Tony Adams served time in prison for a drink driving offence, one of the problems of being an alcoholic, although he was yet to admit to it. In his book he is totally honest about it, admits he was wrong and stupid and has total regret for it. He crashed his Ford Sierra cosworth into a telegraph pole on the way home from a friend’s party and was breathalys
ed and found to be more than three times over the legal limit for alcohol. After being taken to court he has several friends stand as character witnesses, including some footballers, but he was still sent down for a prison sentence of nine months, although it was later reduced on good behaviour. He came out with the total support of the Arsenal players and staff, something he is thankful for and has a few interesting stories to tell from his time inside. It was another step on the way to admission, even though he was still a long way off.

I remember the news article about Tony Adams and also the picture of his white xr4x4 that was in it. I believe he crashed it through a wall didn't he? But it was definitely a xr4x4, regardless of what the papers say, when did they ever let facts get in the way of a story.

I remember John Barnes having a sponsored capri 280 brooklands when he was at Liverpool.

Tommy copper,the boxer,had an RS500,and so did Gordon Murray,who designed the mclaren f1. Aparently Bruce Grobbler,ex liverpool/wales goalkeeper also had a 500 a few years back.
Michael Schumacher had a red escort cosworth company car when he was at benneton ford.
