As a member of the Nitro Circus Tour since the very beginning, Andy Buckworth is no stranger to life on the road-and living behind the wheel. We asked this Aussie extreme athlete about his vehicle collection, favorite road trips, the car of his dreams, and a lot more.

Q: What was your first car and how long did you drive it?

A: My first car was a Holden combo van. I owned it for a year before I moved on.

Q: How old were you when you first learned how to drive?

A: I got my learner driver's permit when I was 17.

Q: What's your everyday driver?

A: Right now I am the proud owner of a BMW m3, and I just spoiled myself and got a BMW m4. The plan is to sell the m3 and get a Toyota Tundra to use as an everyday driver, but right now I drive the m4 every day.

Q: Inside and outside, how clean do you keep your car?

A: Living in California, it's hard to keep a black car clean all the time, although I do try to get my car detailed inside and out about every 7-10 days.

Q:
What's the best road trip you've ever taken?

A: I was fortunate enough to take part in a Monster Energy road trip from California to Salt Lake City with an awesome group of Monster BMX riders. That was by far my favorite road trip.

Q:
What's one road trip that you still dream about taking?

A: I think it would be fun to pack up the car and road trip to Salt Lake City for Nitro World Games, making a stop in Vegas along the way.

A: Personally, I think it's always a good time when you have an awesome group of mates and you play old hits from the 90s that everybody can goof out and sing along to.

Q: What's one roadside attraction that you'll always pull over for?

A: It's always hard to ignore an awesome sunset when you're driving through the mountains.

Q: What's your favorite highway to drive?

A: I would have to say the 38 from Redlands, California up to Bear Lake.

Q: What's the most interesting thing you keep in your car?

A: It's not often you would catch me without my bike in the car.

Q: Have you ever slept in your car?

A: I can't say I've slept in my m3 or m4. However, in Australia, I have a 2008 Range Rover Sport and I have slept in the back of that on a camping trip.

Q: Favorite road snack?

A: Granola bars or rice cakes are a good hit for a quick snack on the road.

Q: Favorite car movie?

A: My favorite movie would have to be 'Rush'.

Q: If your life philosophy was a bumper sticker, what would it say?

A: 'Live fast, die young.'

Q: Would you rather fix up an old beater or drive a new car straight off the lot?

A: Oh, new car off the lot for sure. Although I do love looking at really well restored old American cars.

Q: If you could change one 'rule of the road,' what would it be?

A: No speed limits because I'm impatient.

Q: What's your dream car?

A: I would love a super car like Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc.
