Yes its that time again. Mr. Nick Mason has kindly agreed to be interviewed by us. From my point of view the more car related questions the better. For some reference material Nick currently owns/runs Ten Tenths : www.tentenths.co.uk/ A good background on him can be found in the "about ten tenths" section. He also co-wrote "Into The Red" : www.tentenths.co.uk/www/index2.htmSo heres a few starters (couple of obvious ones) : What was your first car? What would you say was the most undesirable car in your collection? How often do you change the cars in your collection?

What is more encompassing for you - cars or music? What is the least valuable car you desire? Was there ever an 'old banger' of a van that was used for carrying your gear to gigs? How many cars do you own? What is your 'daily driver'? Is there a car you regret selling? What car gives you the greatest pleasure?
Is that too many? Feel free to adjust/amend if you see fit David!

Have you ever modified or customised one of your cars? If yes which and what did you do? If no, why not?

What are your thoughts on more "contemporary" stars vehicle ownership? (I'm thinking about the football morons who smash up ferrari's etc. on a regular basis, and rappers like fifty cent chopping up perfectly good bentleys, just because they can ). Would you be our "special guest" at RCS next year?! If you could only have one car that had to fulfill all of your needs...what would it be?

- Was you interested in motorsport and cars in general before Pink Floyd, or was it something which only grew after having the means to indulge in such exotic cars?
- What is in your opinion the most beautiful car ever produced?
- Pink Floyd's rise interrupted your studies to become an architect, is architecture still an interest of yours and would you - if time allowed, like to complete your studies?

you now own a mclaren F1 and a ferrari f40
apart from the speed aspect of these cars and their exclusivity, what else made you decide to buy them
did you only start collecting cars after pink floyd started
if not what was your first collection purchase?
pink floyd is known for a certain sound of music - did you/they collectively ever decide to write/perform other genres of music?

Is it true that "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" is not about Syd Barrett at all but was actually written about the joys of polishing your favourite car until it "shines like the sun". If so what car care products do you recommend for that "diamond shine" finish?

You have a run of bad luck and lose all your cars and money (not that it's ever going to happen) and have to get a 9 to 5. You've got £1000 to spend on a car. What would you buy?
