Name: Robert J. Smithson

Title: Chief executive officer

Company: Trinity Graphic Group Inc.

What was your first car: 1978 Ford Grenada 3-liter station wagon

What you liked most about the car: The size of it. The car was at the time one of the biggest cars on the road in England. I had a lot of friends that always needed transportation, and I also use to go sailing all over England and needed that space to transport sails and supplies.

Favorite memory: I just passed my driving test the year I bought it. The vehicle was very strongly built because it was really an armored vehicle; it was used to transport jewels and valuable items around London. The windows were bullet proof and it had a full alarm system, which was unheard of in 1978; and additionally the engine, being three liters, was one of the biggest most powerful engines on the road. I felt very safe.

What do you drive today: 2009 Jaguar XS Supercharged
