Contributor, UK

Angus MacKenzie has been there, done that.

Adelaide-born Angus was editor of Street Machine in the late 1980s, Wheels in the late 1990s, and spent time in the UK heading Car magazine in the early 2000s before moving to Los Angeles in 2004 to run MotorTrend.

Now based in London, he’s driven everything from Aussie muscle to European exotics, from Japanese micro cars to giant American pickups, on some of the world’s greatest roads and most iconic racetracks.

The best car Angus has ever driven? It could be the next one. And he’d like you come along for the ride to find out.
