About Me

Welcome to my Performance Car Guide website About Me Page.

I have always been interested in cars since as far back as I can remember. From playing scalelectrics, customising my matchbox cars, making motorised models and playing Top Trumps as a child, to being a mechanic as soon as I left school.

Although I ended up working in IT for much of my working career, I still have remained involved with cars, belonging to the Opel Manta Owners Club (twice), BMW Drivers Club, Vauxhall Performance Car Club, American Auto Car Club International and the Classic Camaro Club (of which I wrote an article on Camaros in the Motorvatinusa club magazine, with my Camaro placed on the front cover). I would have probably joined many more clubs, but you have to balance work and family commitments with your hobbies, don't you?

Almost all of the cars I have owned have had some sort of modification carried out, be it performance related or cosmetic. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good looking car in standard form, I just enjoy having a car that's different to anyone else's.

I really hope you enjoy the website and find some useful info. The articles are all written by me and where possible I have given my own personal advice/guidance.

Here’s a quick look at some of the cars I’ve owned from my first car at age 17 to recent ones (some cars missing - not too sure what I've done with the photos?), I’m not rich, so there’s no Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s or Aston’s, unfortunately:
