如果你認(rèn)真的做一件對的事情，全世界都會(huì)去幫你。

曾經(jīng)，邁凱倫塞納只是被放在傳說中的車子，而車主更是“深藏功與名”而不得見的那種，但是，對車的熱愛是無國界無差別的。

酷樂美國的EVOJ，在車展偶遇了Mr. T —— 一位邁凱倫塞納的車主，并且因?yàn)閷嚨臒釔鄱徽勆鯕g，之后，打算給Mr. T來一場認(rèn)認(rèn)真真的專訪，作為P1和塞納車主的Mr. T先生就特別認(rèn)真的回答了我們的這些問題。

按照對的路向前走，堅(jiān)定不移的走下去，就一定會(huì)有你所希望看到的那道光。

各位酷樂的小伙伴大家好，今天EVOJ為大家?guī)砹俗钚乱黄诘拇罂ＴL欄目。

還記得之前我們帶來的那輛匹茲堡車展上的邁凱輪塞納么？

我們本期的專訪嘉賓就是這臺塞納的車主，這里我們稱他為T先生（Mr. T）。T先生是一位狂熱的汽車愛好者，并且在美國本地有著很高的名望。

有關(guān)本次專訪的背景其實(shí)也很有意思，我其實(shí)一直都follow著T先生的Instagram主頁，當(dāng)我得知他會(huì)帶著他的塞納參加匹茲堡車展后就決定當(dāng)天往返一趟底特律和匹茲堡去親眼看一看這臺舉世聞名的超跑。

在匹茲堡車展中第一次和T先生面對面交流，誰知我們一見如故，相談甚歡，故向其談起了酷樂汽車和我們的態(tài)度，隨后又對其邀約進(jìn)行一期專訪；T先生十分爽快的就答應(yīng)了我們的專訪請求。

由于本期專訪的文章鏈接也會(huì)發(fā)送給T先生，所以我們本期的文章文案均采用中英雙語版型。在這里我們話不多，趕緊為大家?guī)磉@期大咖專訪的內(nèi)容。

*The English version of this article starts from the second paragraph

Dear audiences, how's it going everyone?

Today, EVOJ brings you the latest edition of the ACE Interview. Do you still remember the McLaren Senna on the Pittsburgh AutoShow that we wrote an article before? 

Our exclusive guest of today's article is the owner of this hypercar. We will call him as Mr.T. Mr. T is a true car enthusiast and has a high reputation in the United States.

The background of this interview is actually very interesting. I have followed Mr. T’s Instagram for a while. When I learned that he would take his Senna to the Pittsburgh AutoShow, I decided to do a round trip road trip from Detroit to Pittsburgh on the same day to look this world-famous hypercar. 

That's the first time that I met Mr. T in person. We had a great conversation there.  We talked about CLauto and our attitude. After that, I asked him if we can do an exclusive interview with him, Mr. T agreed with our interview request. 

Since the link to this article will also besent to Mr. T, this article will have both Chinese and English versions. Let's start today's ACE Interview !

About You

關(guān)于你自己

Can you tell us why you are so into cars? Where did the passion come from? ( Any story you would like to share? )

你能否和各位讀者分享一下為什么你這么熱愛車子么？你對于車子的熱情來自于哪里？（有沒有什么小故事可以和大家分享的？）

Ha, I imagine since birth… My father loved cars and always talked about cars during my childhood. We didn’t actually have any cool cars then as we lived in a mobile home for much of my childhood days.

哈哈，我想（這份熱愛）與生俱來的。我的父親就特別喜歡車子，在我童年時(shí)他就經(jīng)常談?wù)摵蛙囎酉嚓P(guān)的話題。我們當(dāng)時(shí)并沒有什么特別酷炫的車子因?yàn)樵谖彝陼r(shí)代的大部分時(shí)間里我們都住在移動(dòng)房屋里。

What does car mean to you?

車子對于你而言意味著什么？

Mechanical Art, Fun, Freedom, Adventure. Much more than just something to get you from point a to point b. Transportation is secondary.

機(jī)械的藝術(shù)品，樂趣，自由，以及一種冒險(xiǎn)精神。車子的意義對我而言要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于一種從A到B的交通工具，其交通工具的屬性只能屬于一種次要的存在。

What was your first car?

你的第一輛車是什么？

Actually, a hand me down 1976 AMC yellow Pacer. 4 cylinders, column shift. Not a sports car LOL. I guess my mother didn’t want me to be a car person.

事實(shí)上我的第一臺車是一輛1976年的黃色AMC Pacer，四缸發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，懷擋設(shè)計(jì)。并不是什么運(yùn)動(dòng)型車?yán)补?。我猜我媽媽并不想讓我成為一個(gè)沉迷于車子世界的人吧。

About Pittsburgh C&C

and Other Car Events

有關(guān)于匹茲堡 C&C 和其他汽車活動(dòng)

What are the reasons that you and your friends decided to organize the Pittsburgh Cars & Coffee event?

當(dāng)初是出于什么樣的原因考量下，你和你的朋友們決定組織匹茲堡的Cars&Coffee活動(dòng)呢？

Zero reasons… Just a group of car fanatics that enjoy getting together and talking car stuff.

其實(shí)是沒有任何原因的。就是一群愛車的朋友們聚在一起來談天說地來聊聊車。

Can you briefly introduce the Cars & Coffee to our audiences? C&C is famous in China, but we don’t have a specific definition for what is C&C.

你能否為我們的讀者簡述一下什么是Cars&Coffee呢？C&C活動(dòng)在中國很有名，但是實(shí)際上我們并沒有一個(gè)屬于C&C的官方的規(guī)范定義。

I guess C&C or Cars and Coffee is just a name that give us an excuse to get together and hang out with friends. I imagine just like any other group or hobby that attracts people having similar interests.

我想C&C或者Cars&Coffee只是一個(gè)名字而已，這個(gè)名字給了我們一個(gè)很好的理由來和愛車的朋友們聚到一起。我想這就和其他因?yàn)楣餐ㄅd趣而吸引人們加入的活動(dòng)組織一樣。

How was the turnout for the first meet?

第一次C&C的活動(dòng)效果如何？

Not very big… It started maybe 8-10 years ago with only a few people getting together at a coffee place in the mornings rather than meeting at someone home.

第一場活動(dòng)并沒有很大。8-10年前我們開始組織匹茲堡的C&C活動(dòng)，最初只有一些人愿意一大早開車到咖啡店外的停車場里來聚一聚而不是到什么人的家中小聚。

And how about the turn out now ( That isto say, how many cars/people show up nowadays for Pittsburgh Cars & Coffee? )

現(xiàn)在的活動(dòng)效果怎么樣呢？（有多少車和多少人會(huì)參加現(xiàn)在的匹茲堡C&C呢？）

Now it’s grown quite large, maybe 300-400 cars and quite large crowds attending. It’s different from the first days which were more intimate. So now days, we actually will do other meets and venues outside C&C.

現(xiàn)在這個(gè)活動(dòng)規(guī)模就比較大了，差不多每次都能有300-400臺車子來參加并且會(huì)有相當(dāng)大規(guī)模的人群到場駐足觀看?，F(xiàn)在的C&C和當(dāng)初的相比有了一些變化，比如現(xiàn)在更多是面向大眾的而不在是最初階段相對私人的和相熟朋友之間的聚會(huì)了。所以現(xiàn)如今我們會(huì)在C&C之外的一些不同的地點(diǎn)組織一些其他的聚會(huì)。

What is the thing that you like or enjoymost about Cars & Coffee?

Cars&Coffee過程中你最享受的部分是什么呢？

The good friendships.

良好的友情。

I remember that you participated in the Ace Spade Rally event last year with the 720S. That rally was definitely notthe kind of rally where people drive in sand out in the middle of nowhere. So, what is a rally event? Is it a lifestyle choice or something?

我有印象去年的時(shí)候你有開著邁凱倫720S參加了Ace Spade Rally活動(dòng)。這個(gè)Rally顯然不是那種開車在荒無人煙的地方豁沙子的拉力賽。所以你所參加的這種Rally活動(dòng)是什么呢？是一種生活方式還是其他的什么呢？

No, no sand LOL. The Rally is the same asmy answer above… its enjoyment of the drive itself. Using the cars, cool carsthat make little kids run up to you when we stop and ask questions… Its driving to destinations that are exciting as well like famous hotels, or cities or evenjust cool twistie roads.

哦不不，沒有沙子哈哈。Rally其實(shí)和我上面說的一些內(nèi)容是相似的。是一種對于駕駛的享受；是一種每每當(dāng)你停下車來都會(huì)有小孩子跑過來問你有關(guān)這些酷炫的車子的問題的一種體驗(yàn)；是一種開車到令人興奮的目的地的體驗(yàn)，比如著名的酒店、城市甚至是很酷的曲折蜿蜒的道路。

 

Any other car events that you are interested in participating in? Like track days?

有沒有其他車子相關(guān)的活動(dòng)讓你很感興趣呢？比如賽道日？

Yes we use our cars on tracks… I have a group of friends that take their supercars on track regularly over the good weather months of the year.

必須的，我們用自己的車子去跑賽道。我有一群朋友，每年氣候好的月份我們都會(huì)開著自己的超跑去跑賽道。

About the Super Cars/Hyper Cars

有關(guān)超跑

What is the best thing that drive/own asuper car bring to you?

于你而言，開著或者擁有著超跑所帶給你的最棒的事情是什么？

People! Sharing experiences. sharing thecars, letting little kids get in them… We are lucky and we are driving with most little kids can only dream about.

是形形色色的人。我們一起交流彼此的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，交流和車子之間的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴，讓小朋友們有機(jī)會(huì)可以坐在超跑里等等等等。我們很幸運(yùn)，并且我們開著很多只能存在于小朋友夢中的車子。

What is your favorite super car/hypercar brand?

你最喜歡的超跑品牌是什么呢？

Ha…. McLaren.

哈哈哈，必須邁凱倫！

Why you are so into the McLaren brand?

那么問題來了，你為什么這么鐘情于邁凱倫呢？

Well, again… it’s as muchabout the people as the cars. McLaren brand has become family to us. It doeshelp they have some of the best driving cars out available to buy today.

人和車一樣重要。對我們來說，邁凱倫這家公司已經(jīng)成為了我們家的一部分。當(dāng)然一部分的原因就是，他們所生產(chǎn)的汽車是這個(gè)時(shí)代能買的最好的車之一。

Based on my view, I have seen more 918s and LaFerrar is compared to P1s. Why did you choose the P1 rather than those other two hyper cars?

僅以我的角度出發(fā)，相比起P1我看到了更多的918和拉法。那么當(dāng)初你為什么選擇了P1而不是那兩臺超跑呢？

I’m an engineer by trade. When you startpeeling away the layers of all those cars ( the body panels ) the Porsche and Ferrariare really still an older technology under that skin. The P1 is more like a F1 race car throughout its entirety.

我是一名工程師。當(dāng)你剝?nèi)ネ獗砜磧?nèi)在的時(shí)候（拋開外觀部分不談），保時(shí)捷和法拉利實(shí)際上使用的還是較為陳舊的科技工藝。反觀P1的話則是更貼近于F1賽車科技的存在。

So now the question turns to McLaren Senna. Any story behind the car? We know that this is not a car that you can purchase even if you have the money for it. Why did McLaren chose you to be anowner of the Senna?

現(xiàn)在我要來問個(gè)有關(guān)邁凱倫塞納的問題的了。在你的這臺車背后有沒有什么故事呢？我們知道這臺車并不是你有錢就可以買到的。為什么邁凱倫選擇了你來作為一臺塞納的車主呢？

:-) I suppose, all of the above answers to your questions. We use our cars, we share our cars, we have passion and loveour cars. And with doing all of this, we have been around the people at McLaren to actually get to know them and consider them all friends. So when they start looking at who they want to purchase their next hyper car. They will look to people that have already proven themselves to be a good owner of the car.

我想之前的上述問題合在一起就解答了這個(gè)問題。我們真真正正的在用我們的車子，我們分享我們的車子，我們有對于車子的激情并且熱愛我們的車子。正因?yàn)槲覀冏隽诉@些，我們才認(rèn)識了邁凱倫的人，并且將他們看作我們自己的朋友。所以當(dāng)他們開始考慮誰來作為最新一批超跑車的車主的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)將目光投向那些已經(jīng)證明過自己是一個(gè)稱職并且優(yōu)秀的邁凱倫車主的人。

This question could be the most expensive question that I ever asked in my life! As an owner, which one do you like better : the P1 or the Senna?

這個(gè)問題可能是我此生問過最貴的一個(gè)問題了。作為車主，P1和塞納二選一的話，你更喜歡哪個(gè)？

Well…. I guess I would have to say…. That I can’t answer that question. I have owned the P1 since delivery and had fallen in love with it long before the completion of the car. The Senna is the new family member, its brand new, its fresh, its shiney, it’s crazy just to look at. I guess I’m lucky that I don’t have to decide between them both.

這個(gè)問題嘛......我想我會(huì)說......我回答不了這個(gè)問題。我在P1交付給我的第一天之前就徹徹底底愛上了它，在它還沒有制造完畢的時(shí)候就已經(jīng)愛上了這臺車。塞納是這個(gè)家庭的新成員，是一臺全新的車子；它是那么耀眼奪目，單單是看一看它就已經(jīng)為之瘋狂。我想我是幸運(yùn)的，因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)擁有了這兩臺車而不是需要在這二者之間做出選擇。

What is you dream car?

你的Dream car是什么車呢？

The next one. ;-)

必須是我的下一臺車?yán)补?/span>
