Ludacris has little interest in British cars after latest Fast & Furious

Written by . Published: May 25 2013

Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges fears he will have to break his streak of buying cars from the sets of the Fast & The Furious movies he appears in because he can't commit to driving British motors.


The star has appeared in three of the fast-paced action films, including the latest sequel Fast & Furious 6, and he has made it a habit to drive off the set in a movie vehicle.


He explains, "I have bought a car from each of the Fast & the Furious movies I've been in... I actually have to buy 'em, but I get a really, really good deal.


"From 2 Fast 2 Furious, there was a Dodge Ram truck that I bought. It had a Louis Vuitton painting. I could drive that for about two days before everyone knew it was me in Atlanta, so I had to change the paint.


"And then, on Fast Five, there was a car that was in (co-star Dwayne Johnson) The Rock's convoy; it was a big truck, a GMC truck, and I bought that one. It looked like a tank."


However, Ludacris isn't sure about purchasing a vehicle from the set of the latest car caper.


He explains, "We shot the whole movie in London (and) I haven't bought a car yet because all the damn cars, the steering wheel's on the other side, so I'm thinking if I bring it here (to America) I might be a little confused and wreck something."


The rapper/actor currently owns six cars, admitting he gave some away to family members and friends because he felt guilty about not being able to drive them all.


He adds, "I travel so much and you have 15 cars sitting in a garage in Atlanta, Georgia and you don't drive them, you gotta start giving them away.


"I have given, like, 10 of my cars away over the past 10 years to family members, good friends... I had a cousin, whose car was about to break down, like, single mother, great woman..., so I went in and helped her out, I gave her one of my cars."
