- Simon once gathered a selection of '90s Japanese sports cars in a bid to find out why classic cars have so much personality. Needless to say, that remains one of his fondest professional memories.
- He door-stopped Chevrolet's head of engineering at Goodwood and got him to spill details on the C8 Corvette ZR1X, months before it was even due to be announced.
- For curiosity's sake, Simon once managed to get an interview with a former Formula One world champion, just to ask him how he lived through the wild era of racing in the '60s.
