"Like many of you, I’ve pretty much always been into cars. My memory does not stretch far enough back to a time when that wasn’t the case. Enthusiasm for cars and motorsport is all but wound into my DNA, but this specific passion has helped me to branch out into so many other interests that I may not have found through a different avenue.

People make cars, whether we’re talking in the figurative or literal sense. Cars are cultural artifacts, but also ongoing expressions of the human capacity to blend style and function. Some of us create them, more of us simply love them."
