After ten years on the spanners as a BMW technician and a tenure as a project engineer, Dan realised that writing about cars was far better than a real job. More than a decade later he's still at it, contributing to many of Australia's leading publications including Wheels magazine, 4x4 Australia, Carsguide, Chasing Cars and, of course, Drive. Domiciled with Australia's most successful female racing driver Molly Taylor, there's no room in the trophy cabinet for any of Dan's accomplishments although he was once nominated for an International Motor Film Awards - Best Journalist Film, and he recently finished second in a Power Karts Raceway 16-lap grand prix against some children. On the days Dan isn't on the road somewhere in the world making suspiciously good stories, you'll most likely find him at he and Molly's joint venture - the MaD Garage - attempting to make an unsuspecting vehicle go faster without ending up in a hedge or on fire - more often than not unsuccessfully.
