Sean can drive?

I've just read on wiki that Sean did 22nd fastest lap on Nurburgring in Germany.

confirmation anyone? I've always thought none of them can drive.

Maybe Sean can drive but I don't think he's got a driving licence. I think it's in the interview on the Everything Live DVD that Nicky or James says that none of them have a driving licence.

Didn't James once say that Sean drives too fast, but not with the baby.

He can drive and has had a licence for years. His mini cooper was up for sale on Ebay. Not being sold by him but the bloke he sold it to.

Nicky driving is a relatively recent thing (few years), but he does drive

The lads had to use the wages in the early days to pay for rental cars, also contains the bit about Sean not drving fast!

http://www.freewebs.com/seanmoore/fr...andothers.html

"He'll come out with something incedibly deep and the next minute he'll be talking about the Porsche Turbo. Since passing his driving test in November 1999, he's bought and traded in six cars, before settling on a relatively unostentatious Porsche Carrera. He says it's not the kind of car people will see and think, "Flash bastard".

Sean also used to have a scooter. The kind that takes petrol and not sadly a little red one that you propel with your feet like Po of the Teletubbies has.

He can drive. His Mini was on ebay a couple of years ago.
He loves his cars.

The bit about James going to Anglesey to see Sir Kyffin Williams said he 'drove' up there but don't know if it actually meant that he drove, the missus did or if it was some sort of hired vehicle. In the 2004 Guitarist mag interview James said he couldn't drive, no idea if that has changed or not. Pretty certain that Sean can drive as he seems to have an interest in vehicles and stuff.
