What is the worst smell in the world?
Ha ha – the farts of my crew. (Points at mechanics) The smell is so amazing…

Yes yes sure. But only speeding. I didn’t steal – I never stole nothing

Oooh, no I didn’t make so many I don’t like a lot the jokes. But I do a lot maybe in the car when it is slippy – practical jokes

One Euro – the expensive ones. And the normal one maybe 70 cents

Boobs

When were you last naked outdoors?
In Finland, for new year, in the snow.

Maybe Justin Bieber on my Instagram? But on my list, maybe Valentino
