Danny Estrin explores why people become obsessed with their cars. From a Fiat 500 to rare classics, he meets passionate owners whose vehicles represent freedom, identity and escape.
Danny Estrin loves cars.
So much so that he put his own at centre stage with his band Voyager at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The Toyota MR2 is his first ever car and he’ll never sell it, because he’s just a little bit in love with it. But his favourite car is his ZAZ, the little red Zaporozhets, a soviet econo car from the 1960s. It’s slow and not exactly sleek but it has soul; it’s more than just a machine, it has become part of who he is.
In a world of insatiable consumerism, this is a story about individuality and the joy that comes from seeing something beyond the sum of its parts.
Different, passionate people and the cars that have become their obsession. But this is not just about beauty, speed, aspiration and affluence.
Ladas to Lamborghinis. Minis to Maseratis. Wonderful machines both brilliant and basic, sleek and frumpy, breathtakingly fast and glacially sluggish.
What makes the soul of a car? Where does that special connection between human and vehicle come from?
This is about passion, desire and obsession!
This is a love story… like no other!
This is precious metal.
