I grew up in a golden era of car culture — rally legends, peak F1, and hypercars that felt like science fiction. I never had the talent (or budget) to race, but keeping a few worn-out beaters on the road taught me more than any brochure ever could. After years in news journalism, I shifted into automotive and tech coverage. I write with a reporter’s mindset: clear, practical, and focused on what matters to drivers. I’m still saving space in the dream garage for a Jaguar E-Type.
