It's amazing to see how COVID has actually brought many families together. And while we are not physically together, thanks to technology, we feel that we are.

I built Go Karts when I was 10 or 11, and threw my brothers down the hill in them.

I built my first car at 16. I was really lucky, because at the back of my parents' house, there was a block of about five garages.

I reached this turning point where I was either going to dwell in the darkness or I was just going to slap myself around the face a few times and say, 'Wake up; you're incredibly blessed. Focus on all the great things.'

As the first, original format for fans interested in fixing cars, it's fair to say most TV motoring shows trace their heritage back to 'Wheeler Dealers.'

If you ever make a decision that doesn't put the kids first, it is the wrong decision.

A middle name is an opportunity to represent you, and what better name for an Anglo-American child than London?

In the TV car world there are a lot of channels out there scrambling for car content because there's a real hunger for it.

Some marques, like Ferrari, I believe have peaked at the very top end, and other cars are following suit.

I heard a stat claiming there's a new millionaire in China every 10 minutes - that means there are more millionaires than there are available cars. That's why cars that only come up once in a lifetime, like a Jaguar D-Type, will always fetch such big sums.

'Wheeler Dealers' is the grandfather of all the car restoration shows - it's the originator.

The worst car I've ever had was a Fiat X19.

As a kid I always had Lego and Mecchano, model sets.

I feel like I've really made Laguna my home, and I've got this overwhelming urge now to sort of make friends.

I spent six months really healing and recovering and working on myself.

The great thing about being married to somebody like Christina is that we both are on the same page. We're both energetic, we're both busy, we're both 100 miles an hour.

When you just love someone's company it doesn't matter what you're doing.

I think it's important to note that, you know, we live in a time where everything's changed. The idea of blended families is now not foreign to anybody, it's actually quite commonplace.

You kind of know your place in the world as a parent. And the minute you become a parent, is the minute you understand that.

There's this whole kind of fiction and image that marriage is perfect.

You know, I don't think pregnant women or new mothers get enough credit for what it takes to physically create a child.

I was so inspired by the Alfa 158 that I made my own version of it from scratch.

It's so satisfying building and then driving your own beautiful car that I wanted to give other enthusiasts the chance to get into their garages and workshops, open up the toolbox and do the same.

The thing about having a deadline like a baby is that it sharpens the pencil. It makes sure stuff gets done.

If you ask anybody that knows me properly, they know that I give myself fully.
