What are you driving and why?

I drive an Adler Trumpf Junior Sport because it’s a historic and early front-wheel-drive production car. I also own a Mercedes-Benz SL (R107), which I take to the MBCCR. My daily driver though is a Mercedes-Benz GLS 400.

What's next on your wish list?

Either a Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 or a Mercedes-AMG G 63.

The most fun you've had in a car?

It was in my 1966 Triumph Spitfire, during my college days.

Dream money-no-object car?

That will always be the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 Super Snake.
