That's me on the left - the bloke on the right is Quentin Willson and we're outside Michael Winner's house to shoot an episode of 'The Car's the Star'.

I'm a freelance writer and author, writing mainly for motoring titles. I've just had a novel published about the excesses of the City, which was an interesting experience. As my own boss, I love it and never think "oh no, Monday morning again!"

I've had an eventful and challenging life so far - and I don't intend to sit still now because there's so much else to get involved in. I've lived in Central London as well as the countryside and I love both.  I'm active in writing and business circles and I'm lucky enough to have a wide array of friends.

I've never felt like sitting back and resting on my laurels.  My glass is always half full - never empty; I have a very positive outlook on life. Things may get you down, but you don't have to let them keep you there, do you?!

I admire people with strong values and a passion for life and respect people who have convictions and don't mind going against the grain. I've always believed that the only way to live life is to get stuck in and go for it.  That may mean getting your neck cut off once or twice, but it's better than sitting there years down the line thinking, "what if?" 

That outlook got me a Ferrari - trouble is, they're not all they're hyped up to be.  See why, by clicking the link below.
