You clicked! So there's a fair old chance you like your cars and we're going to get on. I'm Jon Quirk, a hardworking, trained motoring journalist and experienced road tester - I've worked at Autocar Magazine, been Editor of Europe's biggest motoring community Pistonheads and most recently, co-conceived, launched and edited Sky Motoring.

Sadly, Sky Motoring closed in October 2009, hence why my creative rope has been extended here. Pretty isn't it? I didn't want any 'look-at-me' histrionics to this page, just my contact details and a few previously published articles to let any interested folks know what I am all about.

Now you've found me - seriously, where have you been? - I can confirm your path to Zen and the art of Motor-Karma Maintenance: Step 1: Kick back. Step 2: Bathe in my blog, and Step 3: Explore my folio until you pass-out from enlightenment. And of course, if you're looking for a young, versatile, opinionated, alternative-yet-informed and authoritative take on motors, HIRE ME... or procrastinate (shame on you!) and download my CV. I've even got a clean license - (factually correct at the time this electronic ink was published - Jon's lawyer).

- Jon.
