As you can tell from my racing days, I've always had a 'thing' about cars.

My parents gave me a Volvo as a graduation present; I immediately entered it in SCCA races and loved beating MGs. The Volvo got traded for an MGTD, then there was an assortment which included a Porsche Super 90 cabriolet, a Porsche RS-61 racing car, a Brabham Formula Junior, and a Cobra.

In London, nearly every company executive drove a Rolls Royce and no one thought it pretentious.

Here's my father and me with my second "Roller," the first long-wheelbase Silver Wraith which had been built for the High Commissioner of India.
