ADRIEN BRODY - BRODY LOVES CARS MORE THAN WOMEN

Oscar-winning actor ADRIEN BRODY spends more time working on classic cars than romancing his legions of female fans. THE PIANIST star, 33, has developed a passion for racing since splitting up from longtime girlfriend MICHELLE DUPONT earlier this year (06). And the hobby takes up so much time, Brody has no plans to busy himself even more by embarking on another relationship. He says, "I've just built an engine for my Corvette. I can drive it on roads near Los Angeles, but it's now ready for the racetrack. "I want to learn to race properly, after learning drag racing in New York with bad cars that wouldn't stop properly; I couldn't make the brakes work. "My priorities have changed with age and success - I now realise that braking is important!"
