Favorite Car
Thomas has two all-time favourite cars. The first is a car he proudly owned and enjoyed himself: a convertible 1.6-litre Mazda MX-5, a perfect example of how lightweight engineering and driver-focused design can make up for a lack of horsepower.
The second is a true automotive legend: the 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback from Bullitt, driven by Steve McQueen and forever remembered as one of cinema’s greatest cars.
Favorite Motorcycle
Thomas has two motorcycles that stand out as personal favourites. The first is the legendary Brough Superior, often regarded as the “Rolls-Royce of motorcycles” thanks to its craftsmanship, engineering excellence, and rich heritage.
The second is the Triumph Bonneville, a modern classic that captures the spirit of British motorcycling. Thomas owns a 2010 Bonneville, a bike he appreciates for its timeless styling, characterful parallel-twin engine, and the connection between rider and machine that has made the Bonneville an icon for generations.
