Andrew, who do you write for? My bookshelves are weighed down with UK motoring magazines.

I write for a Scottish magazine called Uptown. Its not specifically a motoring magazine, but an interior design and lifestyle magazine that I do the motoring features for.

Here's the cover from an article I did a couple of months ago on the Audi R8



Have a look at our website if you want a quick look at my current article and more info on the magazine

I'm 41 years old, and I'm a Senior Project Engineer. I'm responsible for keeping our plant equipment operational. I also spend some time installing new process equipment and making updates and modifications to older machinery.

I have a late 80's Air King, a mid 90's Big Block Tudor Chronograph, and a Z series TT Blue Sub. I'm hoping to add to my modest collection as time goes by.

Thats why I love being a girl! Let the boys pay for my beer... my $$ goes to my Rolex and Chanel bags... haha!!

I'm a Care of the Elderly specialist, and part time mineral and meteorite dealer! I wear a very discreet AK but still have a boyhood lust for a Sub or SD but just cannot justify purchasing one (just too "unecessary" for my lazy, sloth-like and torpid lifestyle!) - too many other interests to sustain ie rocks, guitars and antiquarian books for example
