I passed my test in a Vauxhall Corsa, which let"s be honest, you could probably brand as one of the worst cars in the world. My first ever car was a green Seat Ibiza. All my mates used to take the p*ss and call it the Green Goddess because it was the same bogey green as those ancient fire engines that stood in when the firemen went on strike years ago. I"ve still got one of my originals, a mk4 Golf GTI. I tuned it up, put some conrods in it, put a bigger turbo on it, it"s up to 300-odd horsepower. I"ve still got that sat in my dad"s drive. I want to turn it into a track car but it would be a lot of expense for not a lot of return. I"ve got a Mercedes C63 AMG saloon now. I"m a massive fan of big engines. I always wanted a 6.2-litre V8 Merc, and I"ve got the 2013 car with the manual clutch transmission as it"s slightly better. I love it, it just sounds the best. I roar round on a Sunday afternoon and it"s perfect. One of my personal sponsors has the new Mercedes-AMG GT R and to be honest, that new 4.0-litre V8 doesn"t sound as well as a naturally aspirated car. But we all know that turbos muffle the job. When we go racing at Macau at the end of the year the Mercedes race teams don"t use the 4.0, they all use the old 6.2.
