It all starts with a Mitsubishi Space Wagon, a rare car, with 7 seats, back in the day but a car Ben would love to get his hands on, although they have all seemingly vanished from the planet!
Following his parents split, his Dad got a sliver Mk1 Fiat Punto as a runaround, his Mum never passed her test, despite several attempts.
Music wise, Bens Dad would listen to Fleetwood Mac and Queen.
A pivotal car in his childhood was an S1 Lotus Elise which belonged to a neighbour, Ben would later re-live that ownership fantasy himself as an adult.
At school Ben had a pal with a burgundy Jaguar XJ, it didn't have any seatbelts in the back, and his Mum let them run around with their t-shirts off in the summer, let alone climb up the scaffolding at his house.
