如果你认真的做一件对的事情，全世界都会去帮你。
曾经，迈凯伦塞纳只是被放在传说中的车子，而车主更是“深藏功与名”而不得见的那种，但是，对车的热爱是无国界无差别的。
酷乐美国的EVOJ，在车展偶遇了Mr. T —— 一位迈凯伦塞纳的车主，并且因为对车的热爱而交谈甚欢，之后，打算给Mr. T来一场认认真真的专访，作为P1和塞纳车主的Mr. T先生就特别认真的回答了我们的这些问题。
按照对的路向前走，坚定不移的走下去，就一定会有你所希望看到的那道光。

各位酷乐的小伙伴大家好，今天EVOJ为大家带来了最新一期的大咖专访栏目。
还记得之前我们带来的那辆匹兹堡车展上的迈凯轮塞纳么？
我们本期的专访嘉宾就是这台塞纳的车主，这里我们称他为T先生（Mr. T）。T先生是一位狂热的汽车爱好者，并且在美国本地有着很高的名望。
有关本次专访的背景其实也很有意思，我其实一直都follow着T先生的Instagram主页，当我得知他会带着他的塞纳参加匹兹堡车展后就决定当天往返一趟底特律和匹兹堡去亲眼看一看这台举世闻名的超跑。
在匹兹堡车展中第一次和T先生面对面交流，谁知我们一见如故，相谈甚欢，故向其谈起了酷乐汽车和我们的态度，随后又对其邀约进行一期专访；T先生十分爽快的就答应了我们的专访请求。
由于本期专访的文章链接也会发送给T先生，所以我们本期的文章文案均采用中英双语版型。在这里我们话不多，赶紧为大家带来这期大咖专访的内容。
*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
关于你自己
Can you tell us why you are so into cars? Where did the passion come from? ( Any story you would like to share? )
你能否和各位读者分享一下为什么你这么热爱车子么？你对于车子的热情来自于哪里？（有没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（这份热爱）与生俱来的。我的父亲就特别喜欢车子，在我童年时他就经常谈论和车子相关的话题。我们当时并没有什么特别酷炫的车子因为在我童年时代的大部分时间里我们都住在移动房屋里。
What does car mean to you?
车子对于你而言意味着什么？
Mechanical Art, Fun, Freedom, Adventure. Much more than just something to get you from point a to point b. Transportation is secondary.
机械的艺术品，乐趣，自由，以及一种冒险精神。车子的意义对我而言要远远大于一种从A到B的交通工具，其交通工具的属性只能属于一种次要的存在。
What was your first car?
你的第一辆车是什么？
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.
事实上我的第一台车是一辆1976年的黄色AMC Pacer，四缸发动机，怀挡设计。并不是什么运动型车啦哈哈。我猜我妈妈并不想让我成为一个沉迷于车子世界的人吧。
About Pittsburgh C&C
and Other Car Events
有关于匹兹堡 C&C 和其他汽车活动
What are the reasons that you and your friends decided to organize the Pittsburgh Cars & Coffee event?
当初是出于什么样的原因考量下，你和你的朋友们决定组织匹兹堡的Cars&Coffee活动呢？
Zero reasons… Just a group of car fanatics that enjoy getting together and talking car stuff.
其实是没有任何原因的。就是一群爱车的朋友们聚在一起来谈天说地来聊聊车。
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.
你能否为我们的读者简述一下什么是Cars&Coffee呢？C&C活动在中国很有名，但是实际上我们并没有一个属于C&C的官方的规范定义。
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只是一个名字而已，这个名字给了我们一个很好的理由来和爱车的朋友们聚到一起。我想这就和其他因为共通兴趣而吸引人们加入的活动组织一样。
How was the turnout for the first meet?
第一次C&C的活动效果如何？
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.
第一场活动并没有很大。8-10年前我们开始组织匹兹堡的C&C活动，最初只有一些人愿意一大早开车到咖啡店外的停车场里来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? )
现在的活动效果怎么样呢？（有多少车和多少人会参加现在的匹兹堡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.
现在这个活动规模就比较大了，差不多每次都能有300-400台车子来参加并且会有相当大规模的人群到场驻足观看。现在的C&C和当初的相比有了一些变化，比如现在更多是面向大众的而不在是最初阶段相对私人的和相熟朋友之间的聚会了。所以现如今我们会在C&C之外的一些不同的地点组织一些其他的聚会。
What is the thing that you like or enjoymost about Cars & Coffee?
Cars&Coffee过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?
我有印象去年的时候你有开着迈凯伦720S参加了Ace Spade Rally活动。这个Rally显然不是那种开车在荒无人烟的地方豁沙子的拉力赛。所以你所参加的这种Rally活动是什么呢？是一种生活方式还是其他的什么呢？
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，没有沙子哈哈。Rally其实和我上面说的一些内容是相似的。是一种对于驾驶的享受；是一种每每当你停下车来都会有小孩子跑过来问你有关这些酷炫的车子的问题的一种体验；是一种开车到令人兴奋的目的地的体验，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?
有没有其他车子相关的活动让你很感兴趣呢？比如赛道日？
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.
必须的，我们用自己的车子去跑赛道。我有一群朋友，每年气候好的月份我们都会开着自己的超跑去跑赛道。
About the Super Cars/Hyper Cars
有关超跑
What is the best thing that drive/own asuper car bring to you?
于你而言，开着或者拥有着超跑所带给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。我们一起交流彼此的经验，交流和车子之间的点点滴滴，让小朋友们有机会可以坐在超跑里等等等等。我们很幸运，并且我们开着很多只能存在于小朋友梦中的车子。
What is your favorite super car/hypercar brand?
你最喜欢的超跑品牌是什么呢？
Ha…. McLaren.
哈哈哈，必须迈凯伦！
Why you are so into the McLaren brand?
那么问题来了，你为什么这么钟情于迈凯伦呢？
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.
人和车一样重要。对我们来说，迈凯伦这家公司已经成为了我们家的一部分。当然一部分的原因就是，他们所生产的汽车是这个时代能买的最好的车之一。
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?
仅以我的角度出发，相比起P1我看到了更多的918和拉法。那么当初你为什么选择了P1而不是那两台超跑呢？
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.
我是一名工程师。当你剥去外表看内在的时候（抛开外观部分不谈），保时捷和法拉利实际上使用的还是较为陈旧的科技工艺。反观P1的话则是更贴近于F1赛车科技的存在。
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?
现在我要来问个有关迈凯伦塞纳的问题的了。在你的这台车背后有没有什么故事呢？我们知道这台车并不是你有钱就可以买到的。为什么迈凯伦选择了你来作为一台塞纳的车主呢？
:-) 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.
我想之前的上述问题合在一起就解答了这个问题。我们真真正正的在用我们的车子，我们分享我们的车子，我们有对于车子的激情并且热爱我们的车子。正因为我们做了这些，我们才认识了迈凯伦的人，并且将他们看作我们自己的朋友。所以当他们开始考虑谁来作为最新一批超跑车的车主的时候，他们会将目光投向那些已经证明过自己是一个称职并且优秀的迈凯伦车主的人。
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?
这个问题可能是我此生问过最贵的一个问题了。作为车主，P1和塞纳二选一的话，你更喜欢哪个？
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.
这个问题嘛......我想我会说......我回答不了这个问题。我在P1交付给我的第一天之前就彻彻底底爱上了它，在它还没有制造完毕的时候就已经爱上了这台车。塞纳是这个家庭的新成员，是一台全新的车子；它是那么耀眼夺目，单单是看一看它就已经为之疯狂。我想我是幸运的，因为我已经拥有了这两台车而不是需要在这二者之间做出选择。
What is you dream car?
你的Dream car是什么车呢？
The next one. ;-)
必须是我的下一台车啦哈哈。
