He revealed himself to be a fan of cars, and admitted to having received several speeding fines and a total of nine penalty points. The minister displayed a passion for fast cars including having owned an Alfa Romeo and turning out an exceptional lap time on the Top Gear test track. He set a time of 1:48.8, faster than Jeremy Clarkson's own time of 1:50.
