The AC/DC lead singer as it turns out, is a bit of a revhead.  The legend who is Brian Johnson burned up the track in the “Star in a Reasonably Priced Car” lap challenge on BBC’s Top Gear (Sunday 26 July 2009).   In an excellent interview with Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson the rocker revealed how he manages to live a more or less quiet life, despite his status as vocalist for AC/DC, one of the most famous rock bands in the world.   And Brian Johnson is a thoroughly nice bloke into the bargain.  As Clarkson remarks, Brian Johnson is blessed on so many levels.  Check out the footage below (If you want to know AC/DC singer’s result in the challenge, scroll down to below the video clip).  If you’ve seen it already feel free to relive the AC/DC rocker’s [other] moment of glory:

And the result of the Brian Johnson Top Gear Star in a Reasonably Priced Car challenge is…

He was just 1 tenth of a second slower than first placed Jay Kay of Jamiroquai (with a total time of 1m 45.9s) so he is currently lying in second place (albeit second equal with a few other Top Gear contenders).
