Inside a Winemaker's 18-Car Dream Garage | Behind the Drive

What does the garage of a 3rd-generation winemaker look like? In this episode of Behind the Drive, I sit down with Klaus—a winery owner with a staggering history of over 60 cars (and 18 currently in his collection). We talk about growing up in a German Rally Racing family, why he chooses to daily drive a 20-year-old Audi S4 with 310,000km over his Porsches, and his "investment strategy" for buying cars at the bottom of the depreciation curve so you never lose money. From a 1950 Chevy Pickup (Oshawa Blue) to future plans for an Aston Martin Vantage and GT3, Claus explains why cars have "souls" and why modern tech is ruining the driving experience. In this episode: The Collection: A look into an 18-car garage (Porsches, Audis, Saabs, and a 1977 Datsun 280Z). Racing Heritage: Growing up as a pit crew member for the German Rally Championship. Buying Advice: How to buy the right car at the right time (The Depreciation Curve). The Daily: Why a 310,000km Audi S4 Wagon is the ultimate winery vehicle. Philosophy: Why cars have souls and the connection between Wine Culture and Car Culture. Quote of the episode: "I just don't go out and buy a car. The car has to talk to me. I say 'Honey, I'm home' because they have personalities." 👇 Drop a comment: Claus believes modern cars have too much tech. Do you agree? Let me know below!
