a life of cars
TJ Lamb
I think my love of cars has been hard-wired into me - my first word was ‘car’ and my mum swears that there hasn’t been a day since then that I haven’t talked about cars. Needless to say, life has been a wild ride.
I was born in London (I’m not putting on an accent!). Eight year old me dreamt of having a massive car collection, so my mum told me I better start a business and start saving. I told her I wanted to buy an oil company, when that didn’t work, I asked if I could buy Apple. In the end, she helped me start MAGNACARS.
Magnacars started with putting tiny magnets on the wheels of Hotwheels, and selling them to people I met at car events: Magnets + Cars = Magnacars. I still have a box of original Magnacars, but I’ve come a long way since then!
I discovered social media early on and found that millions of others shared my passion for cars and millions more were lucky enough to own amazing cars. One of the most influential was Shmee150. I went to every car show and museum I could convince my parents to take me to in the UK: Goodwood Festival of Speed, Gumball 3000, Beaulieu...and my mum spent countless hours chasing supercars around London!
My love of cars hasn’t stopped growing. I’m the proud owner of a (broken-down) Rolls Royce Silver Shadow but have sold off other cars I’ve owned (an old Ford F150, Porsche 944, Audi A4, and Lexus LS400) so I could move to freezing cold Canada (where I am today).
I want to spread the love of cars in real and practical ways (car philanthropy). I’m always open to collaborations and brand partnerships (just no cup holders, keychains, or hair dryers please!) TJ and his team are looking to build a car community online and IRL where everyone, regardless of the car they drive (looking at you Tesla drivers), is accepted and valued.
Love God. Love People. Love Cars.
