I can't claim to have known Tony well but we shared a car a few times on launches and always had a good chat. As other people here have said, he was genuinely interested in your life, which in my experience was definitely not always the case with driving partners! Another good reason to share a car with him was that, unlike some, far less talented colleagues, he didn't drive like a racing driver on the road. He was a good guy and I send my condolences to his family and friends.
