Motors & Me: Keith Barry
Love at first sight or just a means to get from A to B?
I wouldn’t say it was love at first sight but in the same breadth it is not a means to get from A-B. Let’s say it was love at second sight and a means to get from A-Z!
What’s under the bonnet?
A 90bhp 1.5 litre DCI Diesel fitted with stop start technology.
Petrol Head or Sunday Driver?
To be honest, neither Petrol Head or Sunday Driver — somewhere in the middle.
What was your first car?
My first car was a Citroen ZX. My father taught me how to drive in it. We had some serious arguments during my hill starts!
What else do you / did you own?
I’ve had numerous cars over the years including an Audi A4, Subaru Legacy, BMW 5 series, and most recently the Renault Laguna Coupe.
Dream drive in dream location?
I’d love to drive a Bugatti Veyron on Route de Gentelly/Alpes-Maritimes — the road and scenery looks amazing.
Passenger you most like?
I’d love to take Ricky Gervais on a long journey — I’d imagine/hope he’d be good craic.
Passenger you’d least like?
I don’t think I’d like to get stuck with Kanye West on a long journey!
What’s on your playlist?
The Script, Ed Sheeran, Fun Lovin Criminals, Republic of Loose, Ham Sandwich, Pink, U2, Jack L — an eclectic mix!
