My time as an automotive journalist has put me behind the wheel of some of the world's fastest cars, flown me around the world to see the covers come off a variety of modern classics, and seen me spend a worrying amount of time hunched over a laptop in a darkened living room. Thanks COVID! I have bylines in a variety of publications, including Digital Trends, Autoblog, The Manual, SlashGear, The Gentleman Racer, Guessing Headlights, with my work also being syndicated to the likes of MSN and Yahoo Life. AutoNotion has promised me the opportunity to let loose creatively, and produce pieces I'm genuinely proud to put my name to. How could I turn that down? I hope some of it entertains you, informs you, or at least helps kill a few minutes while you're waiting for a train.
