About Michael Pitt
I've enjoyed reading and learning about cars all of my life. According to my parents, one of my first words spoken was Lamborghini (actually "Bam-Bor-Boogie", close enough.) I enjoy Formula One, Indy Car and other types of motorsport. I currently have a 1985 Toyota MR2 and, before the lockdown, enjoyed attending my local Cars and Coffee every weekend. I often visit Barn Finds looking for cars to add to my Dream Garage. With the last name "Pitt" (like "pitt" stop), you just knew I had to like cars!
