Personal motto:

β€œIt is amazing how many drivers, even on the Formula One level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down.” - Mario Andretti

Having experienced his first acceleration giggles at the age of five, on the back seat of a 54 HP sedan driven by a priest, Andrei grabbed the wheel a few years later and has yet to let go of it.

Any kind of steering wheel will do, as long as it sits inside something that can go fast but doesn't necessarily require speeding to bring back those childhood memories... or create fresh ones.

In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. And there's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.

Future goals? Working to see the direct connection between man, machine and the road remaining under the spotlights – this is a value that should be preserved!

Oh, and teaching his cat how to ride a bicycle, even if he has to do the pedaling, steering and balancing. No, really, that's okay, so why do you hate your human, kitty?
