"Worked beautiful when I was involved in fencing. And sword fighting," he admits, sounding more amused than that he's trying to show off about what it is he's done in the past.

He hadn't expected for it to all go this well, this quickly. Finding someone that he finds interesting, and positively handsome, and he can't help but to be more than excited about the possibility of this becoming something that could put Nico on the path he's been hoping for.

Nico did laugh at that. "I'm a bit different then. I decide on things I'm interested in, what I want to learn, and then I go somewhere and I make it happen. I've raced a bit on F1 tracks and a bit some motorsport in England. Street racing appeals though because it's taking all of that and making it something positively beyond all of that. Including..." He gestures at the McLaren. "Building your own car rather than a commercial or prebuilt racer. L.A. seems to be the place to learn all of that."

His smile is positively radiant. "I'd love it. I win, you teach me. You win, you teach me... and it's yours," he says, patting the race car. "Seems only fair."
