Gishanka is a true petrolhead to the heart (and head of course) with a special fondness for Italian cars. He is well-known for vigorously driving his Alfa Romeo Alfasud ti Series 3 QV on a twisty road, or wringing every turbocharged horse out of his Abarth 500c in the city. Being a six-plus-footer, he decides that a Honda S660 kei car would be a lovely addition to his garage. He's one of the longest contributors and loyal testers, writers and supporters of Motor as well. His day job is Director at Design Group Five (DG5), a multidisciplinary design firm.
