MIKE'S CHANNEL

It took a few years, but I’ve definitely made peace with the fact that I’m a nerd.

Q: CAN YOU BE A NERD AND A PETROLHEAD?

I can admit that, yes, I can build a PC from its component parts, I have played Magic: The Gathering more than once and I do have strident opinions about how the Star Wars sequel trilogy ended. Typically my nerd status has only been a good thing when it comes to my enjoyment of cars. My interest in video games in particular has served to complement my interest in all things automotive; I lost days to the original Gran Turismo on PlayStation in an era when obsessive video game consumption was deeply unfashionable, as opposed to only mildly unfashionable.
