  • One of Damian's most memorable drives was in a Porsche 911 Targa 50th Anniversary Edition, a full tank of fuel, great mountain roads, and his wife in the passenger seat.
  • Another driving highlight was sliding a six-cylinder Land Rover Defender 90 at the Atlantis Dunes.
  • Despite the motion sickness, he also enjoyed driving the serpentine Spanish roads in the devilishly quick Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E Performance.
