Off the clock

The short list: I hike and I train martial arts. That's about all that needs saying about those. Cars, though — cars I can't keep brief.

Cars

Cars are the hobby I can't keep brief. My brother and a group of friends — through his software company Eloquentix — run a GT4 team that races the Nürburgring 24 Hours.

Last year they qualified first and then crashed out — heartbreak at the front of the grid. There's a sister team I love too, which has featured Jimmy Broadbent and Misha, both of whom I watched obsessively as a kid getting into sim racing.

These days I daily a MK7 GTI, which keeps the grin going at legal speeds.

Travel & food

I also love to travel and eat strange, wonderful food — which my girlfriend Evelyn and I write about on our food blog.
