About Me:
I have been interested in 1930's style MG Sports cars since I was at school and I have been fortunate to have owned my MG Special since 1985.

Besides old cars I also write, record and play music of all styles, but mostly my live playing is with a jazz band these days.

I also write for specialist magazines on many subjects including old cars, guitars, Military history, collectables to name but a few, and I also write, research and pubilsh my own CD-ROM's.Currently working on some California based Crime Novels and short stories. I also like photography. Also build guitars from parts and repair vintage electric guitars.

I like all types of classic vehicles including military and pre-1970 buses, my favourite bus has to be the London Transport Routemaster, one of which I am restoring, built in 1966.

I am currently a marketing manager in the ATV industry.
