Edward Smith, told a shocked Philip Schofield and Amanda Holden how he first ‘had sex’ with his neighbour’s Volkswagen Beetle when he was a young teen.
And it’s not just cars that Smith finds himself attracted to.
As a mechaphile, Edward also enjoys physical relationships with helicopters and planes, claiming they are all better than women.
The Washington native explained that the attraction is to do with the body of the car itself, not really the penetration.
‘It is hugging and holding the shape of the car close to me and actually talking to it a little bit. And then of course, the rest is just physical satisfaction - masturbation is, I guess, the word.’

‘It is done with the car, by the car - next to it,’ he added.
Edward has been with his significant other, a car named Vanilla, since 1982.
Despite this, he is still interested in other cars, and keeps a Ford Ranger called Ginger who he enjoys spending time with.
‘When I hold them in my arms I do feel an energy that comes from each one of them.’
‘There’s a deep, very deep love - I wouldn’t want anything to separate us.’
