when i was young, but after few years aircrafts was the main passion. (also cars) today its mostly cars, it came back i guess when i got angry and depressed, cuz the sound of a good car with somekind of evil shap made me to take out my anger and relax it for a short while.
matchbox, hotwheels and lego and of course driving license :)
My obsession started when I was about 13 and I was watching model train videos on YouTube. In the suggestions bar I saw a thumbnail I saw a picture of a red convertible (I didn’t know the name back then) towing a trailer, excep it appeared to be on train tracks. So I watched the video and it was a clip from some show called “top gear”. It was really funny so I watched some more videos like the lorry challenge. Well three years later I now have a unbreakable passion for cars
Watching Top Gear with my dad, but I didn’t really get into cars until I started competing in small local events in my ‘92 Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick/Vitara/Escudo depending on market)
Turns out the little POS does great off-road.
Watched top gear in 2008…
Playing with friends with Hotwheels when I was about 8, and visiting my uncle’s garage like every weekend …
To me, it began even before i was born. My parents would tell me stories about how they went street racing in my dad’s gen1 RX7, while my mother was pregnant. Growing up in a repair shop just made things “worst” or more awesome. Heard the sound of rotaries and BMW’s while i was a baby and soon enough i was playing and making sound noises on any car that was parked on the shop. My dad would race while i was on the car seat and i would just love the rush of acceleration. And i had a little over 100 hot wheels on my toy box.
it all started when I went shopping for my second car. after 3 years with my ever reliable 1996 ford festiva I’d saved enough to start looking. so I embarked on 4 months of researching cars I’d found for sale. whether it was an official review or a recounted tale. it didnt matter. i devoured the information
I went past M3’s, RX-7’S and to this day I slightly regret an AE86 (I didn’t realize what a special car it was). since they were either not my taste or i didnt feel comfortable driving something that powerful.
and eventually settled on my current BMW 330CIc. and as time went on I found out that the prior owner loved it. and modded it. M3 brake and suspension conversion, sports exhaust system and a centrifugal supercharger. (I eventually met him and now we meet up every saturday for a coffee. of coursenhe asks how the car is)
the more I found the more I fell in love with my car. and eventually it lead me to more people of the same passion, and the car scene in general.
and that where it started. the loveable four wheeled beauty I call. midnight
Hotwheels and my dad’s friend Scotty Ray. When I was only a baby around age 1 to age 5 I went to Carolina Drag way every race with him until I got to school. Then in 5th grade when I was 10 I went there with my dad to fix the AC in the tower and it was during a race and loved it. I am currently looking into racing a Jr.D. Infact this spring I’ll be rebuilding a engine for Scotty. P.S those times my dad let me drive the truck, and my uncle let me drive the ATV,the NASCAR races at Darlington, and the endless days of fooling around with the 3 cars parked outside our house that are broken down.
I don’t know, it just happened… I don’t remember anything that got me into cars or anything I liked before liking cars. My parents told me that ever since I was born, I liked cars. I didn’t inherit this, because NO ONE in my family is into cars (except my mom’s bro), so I was born with love for cars!
