Dev is talking with Ben Green of Ben Green Racing about his car choices and the new racing season.

They discuss their shared love of American cars and how, if you do your research and make the right choice, it's possible to buy cars that will appreciate in value.

They also discuss car seats and the complexities of moulding seats for individuals, along with why an M2 is such a desirable car for those who love to drive.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The M6 has 120 more horse-power and it's lighter, but the M4 is the more successful car.
• American cars are a thing of beauty.
• The Chevrolet is both an investment and something lovely to drive.
• I paid for a mechanic to go and check the car in the US.
• When you are buying a car, you need to make sure the numbers all match up.
• I was looking for a car that was more "me" and would make a profit if I was selling it
• If you can afford it, buying cars is a good investment at the moment
• The first-generation Camaros have already increased significantly in value
• In a car on long journeys, you need to make sure you have good lumber support
• In racing cars the seat is moulded specifically to you.
• In single-seater cars, the seat is incredibly important
• The M2 is a fantastic car - a proper drivers car.
• If you want a driver's car the M2 manual is the car to get
