Well I was not into cars, but my brother was. He told me so much about cars and, evenually the car virus hit me.
Best thing happened ever.

When I was 2 years old, I went on a holiday with my cousins. They took me around the campsite, and I already knew all the cars. I guess I was just born with it.

When I was three my mum would walk me to nursery and I would ask her the name of every parked car on the side of the street. I slowly started to remember each and everyone, make and model. From there I was fasinated with learning about all the names of cars. This went onto buying hundreds of hotwheels, and watching the first fast and the furious. My favourite hot wheels was a Red Nissan Skyline R33 I didn’t know it was so I asked my dad, he told me and from there the skyline became my favourite car and still is 13 years later. But quickly learnt about the R34 and that stole top spot haha. Then I started go-karting around 8 and my knowledge of engines started to widen not just the knowledge of makes and models. So from a very young age cars have been my interest and always will be. at the end of the month I will be getting my first car - a Suzuki swift 1.3. For someone who’s love cats since they were 3 this is a big moment. One day I hope to own an R34 Vspec.

I basically grew up by being alone most of the time, I had a passion for racing games, i started off with gran turismo 3 then to 4 and so on.
Now, I play with real cars… I’m a mechanic… but, in need of a greater car that is not seen every day on the street.
The sad part is that I am the only one into cars in my family.

I’ve always liked cars from a very young age, watching Top Gear and loving the rush that I got and the noise when my dad accelerated in a B7 Audi S4. Nothing came of it really though, until a few years ago I was walking from school with a friend and we saw a Ford GT. He said “He that’s got a V6” and I told him definitely not, it’s a V8, listen to it. I had no idea how I knew that it was a V8, nor what V8 even means, I looked it up when I got home, and from that day on I started learning more and more about cars, watching videos on YouTube, and eventually I found this site, where I learnt more about car culture. Thanks guys for helping me discover my true love and helping me along the way!

My dads first car was BMW e21 316i. He always says its his best car. Then he bought e30 316i. It was grey and i really loved it. After e30 , e36 316i joins our family. After that my father bought e46 316i and this car was awesome. My dad always wanted better then 1.6L but Turkey always has the most expensive fuel price in the world. Then he bought his last car and he still has . F20 116d. Its small car after all 3 series but still bmw and still RWD. So my story began when i was born and continious.
