There is honesty and openness to Adam Brinkworth. Marnie, his daughter, shares that essential straightforwardness. It\u2019s a lovely thing to witness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important part of the connective tissue that binds father and daughter is a love of cars and motorcycles. There are skateboards in there too. And clothes. And a million elements of design. But all these things exist in a unified field – a singularity in which they dwell together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a dynamic, ever-shifting relationship that obviously isn\u2019t without its problems. But they have a place to meet,\u00a0a place to negotiate the shifting sands of who they are and what they mean to one another. And more often than not when that happens, there is a lump of steel and an engine somewhere close by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam was born in 1966 and has built one of the most renowned design companies in London<\/a> over the last 25 years. And this success has afforded him the freedom and opportunity to explore, drive, ride and own some of the machines of his (and our) dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marnie, who was born in 1996, has inherited that open-heartedness as well as the design skills of her dad. She lives down in Brighton – and on the day that we meet to talk, it\u2019s been a while since the two of them had the opportunity to noodle about with cars and motorbikes together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marnie

We went for a ride, went for a drive and we sat down to talk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was obvious is that cars and motorcycles – reaching into some essential part of the pleasure principle that dwells within us all – has helped them build their relationships \u2014 not only with one another, but with themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 If anyone is sceptical about the essential humanity of machines – then spend a little time with Adam and Marnie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your doubts just may evaporate. You won\u2019t look at that old banger of yours in the same way ever again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
