Vehicle(s)
What’s he all about?
What’s your ultimate VW to own?
With so many to choose from? Jeez. I think the ultimate is the brazilian built SP2. The lines of that thing are just exquisite and some of the renders of wide body ones that have been floating about make an already beautiful thing very very desirable. There’s so many others I’d like to own as well though.
To you, what makes a build?
For me, it begins with wheels and stance. That old thing of making it look fast when it’s stood still has always worked for me. Serious rims, ideally staggered make me smile. I like low with a slight rake, not low low necessarily. Mine are always regularly used so I need practicality as well as stance. Of course I’m willing to test the boundaries though.
What inspires you?
There’s a question. I’m inspired by so many things. I like details, I like subtlety, I like discretion I guess I’m inspired by style. It’s not what’s done, it’s how it’s done. So to answer the original question, I’m inspired by designers, artists, film, photography, nature, human interaction, communication. I can’t answer this one with one thing, the answer is everything.
Why are you involved in Dubsta?
Basically, I love creating stuff and tinkering with motors. Dubsta gives me all that and I get to meet nice people along the way.
What’s Dubsta about for you?
Ok, for me, Dubsta is about cool rides and decent people. It’s more than that too, it’s about genuinely being decent, decent to other people, decent to the environment, just decent.
