The story of my personal motoring experiences, from humble beginnings with a Reliant 3-wheeler to a Rolls-Royce and over 150 cars inbetween. Prosecuted for speeding aged 16, losing my driving license at 18, to redeeming myself becoming a member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists. Later becoming a professional author of over 20 books on various motoring aspects, writing for numerous magazines, editing, making TV appearances and collecing motoring memorabilia.

I can provide professionally produced talks of any length from 30 minutes to a full evening, with or without visual aids, covering a variety of listed topics, or create unique presentations to suit specific organisations.
