Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

This toy is built for children who are going to surgery, so they can drive themselves to the operating theater.

The idea is that this will help lower the child's stress levels ahead of surgery.

Rolls-Royce's in-house Bespoke Manufacturing wing spent over 400 hours of their own time building the SRH.

To commemorate the SRH's build, Rolls-Royce brought two children and their families to Goodwood Studio, where they received the same VIP treatment that car buyers do.
