INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
I’m a great believer in looking after our clients, and they will always look after us. I’m a great believer of telling the truth. If we don’t know something about a car, we’ll just say, “We don’t know.”
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
When I was in my mid-thirties, I was stricken by a mysterious illness that remains undiagnosed, even today. I was in the hospital for two weeks on all sorts of machinery.I had to learn to walk again. For me, it was an eye-opener into how others struggle, and how blessed I am. I learned how to fight mentally to get back on my feet. I was not going to be defeated, and there are times when I wonder about things, and I go back to that moment, and say to myself, “Just make it happen, Malcolm.”
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
My first special car that I mucked around with and took apart was an Austin A35 that I had at twelve years old.
