When did you buy your car?

I bought it in 2014.

Why do you love this car?

My eldest son was so into BMWs, especially when I drove around with him. He would always say he likes BMW. When he saw it on TV he would always say: ‘Daddy, that’s the car’, so I made sure I fullfilled his wish.

Is it your dream car?

No! It’s my son’s dream car, I bought it because of him.

Growing up, what was your dream car?

My dream car was a Mercedes-Benz, and hopefully in a few years to come I will drive one.

Does your BMW have any special features?

Yes, it has an M3 sports package.

So far, I have been to KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, and Mpumalanga, as well as Botswana.

So far, nothing.

Do you get traffic fines?

(Laughing) I have received plenty of traffic fines because of speed.

Who do you think drive the best: men or women?

Men; I would say we are more vigilant because our minds are not so occupied. Our concentration is on the road fulltime.

Yes I called it The Punisher.

Who is your front-seat passenger all the time?

My son; he likes driving around with me all the time.
