A. Going as fast as you can.
Q. What's the best song to drive to and the best road to drive on?
A. Anything by the 'Doors' driving on the road to my home.
Q. What cd is in your car right now?
A. "Mothership". The latest compilation album by Led Zeppelin - the legendary band that I finally got to see at the "O2".
Q. What is your favourite car?
A. The McLaren F1 Supercar put the biggest smile on my face. Only 107 have ever been produced, it has a top speed of 242mph and in one I hold the official lap record for a UK circuit in a production car at an average of 195.3mph.

A. It’s in the 1971 film the Burglars (also known as Le Casse). It has the wildest, no tricks, genuine stunt driving chase ever made.

Q. What's been your biggest disappointment?
A. Failing to qualify for the Monaco Grand Prix.
