Freddie's the flint

Now seen with a swanky car with England teammate Marcus Trescothick, Flintoff's driven everything from a lawn mower to a Sri Lankan tuk-tuk.

Flintoff's first driving experience was on a cricket pitch. His father let him drive round and cut the grass.

"Yeah, I was rubbish (on the test). I was so nervous to be honest with you. The most nervous I've been."

On his tour to Sri Lanka, he managed to bribe the tuk-tuk driver and take it for a ride.

"There have been a few occasions when we've been driving the tuk-tuks like wacky races," he was quoted as saying.

But now happily married, he's swapped his Jaguar S-type for a sober VW Touareg.
