The first book Tony ever read cover-to-cover was the maintenance manual for a Volkswagen Beetle, and he’s been reading and writing about cars ever since.

A journalist by training but a car freak by nature, Tony is fascinated by the technology behind automobiles – whether it’s archaic side valve engines or hydrogen fuel cells. His product knowledge and road-testing expertise have been helping Australian new-car consumers buy smarter for more than a decade.
