Growing up surrounded by car enthusiasts, with cherished examples ranging from Camrys to Bolwells, and reading piles of Wheels magazines with his dad, the writing was on the wall for Charlie from a young age.

He has recently become the most junior member of the Wheels Media team, reporting on news, spinning tales about his own cars, and anything else he can get his hands on.

Charlie’s ethos is: “Behind every well-kept car is an interesting story.”When he’s not writing, Charlie can be found swinging spanners on his fleet, playing with old cameras, and helping mates with their automotive restoration projects.Instagram: @munnsdoescars
