Personal motto:

Drive quick through turns, they're dangerous! - his driving instructor

Like any other car enthusiast, Andrei discovered his passion at a young age, building die-cast F40 models out of kits and playing Colin McRae Rally. Nowadays his taste in cars hasn't changed much but it's a bit more polished. His view of the car industry is that it's more of a work of art than straight-up manufacture. After driving an old Volkswagen T2 and several Dacias on country roads in his childhood, as a young adult he has turned his attention to more serious rides.



His favorites include the 60s-70s American muscle cars, 80s-90s Italian super cars and contemporary mean machines like the Murcielago or the 599 GTO. He dreams that one day he'll have the opportunity to drive alongside renowned racers on a track, or at least do a time attack in a reasonably priced car on BBC's famous show Top Gear.
