Hello and welcome to another collecting Alex podcast, a bit of housekeeping to start with.

0:07.9

First of all, I sound like I've got a cold because I've got a cold. I caught it on an aircraft

0:11.8

yesterday. I spent 14 hours and 45 minutes on a new Airbus A350. That's a world record

0:17.9

for me. I've never been in a plane for that log. I don't want to repeat the experience.

0:21.9

Edward Lover isn't here because he's not very well, but he also has to be skiing. I'm not

0:26.2

sure about that. Edward, but I think you are. Well, so Godspeed and I hope you do well.

1:20.2

His number one dream has always been to buy his perfect two car garage. He's set himself

a budget of £150,000. He doesn't have any kids. He doesn't have any dogs. He loves track days.

1:30.7

He's just completing his arts course. That's how you train to be a racer driver and get your license.

1:35.4

And he does some Euro driving holidays with his partner during the summer months. So

1:41.7
