Barry James

Motoring journalist, part time Stig and Arthur Daley wannabe.

Thanks for dropping by. It would be rude of me to suggest that I know heaps about cars…I surely don’t. But, like you, I know what I like and what I don’t. Like wine-tasting, all views are entirely subjective.

I’m a freelance motoring writer specialising in the automotive industry; from the retail side of the business, through the fleet market, to the manufacture of vehicles.

I've spent most of my life in the automotive industry. After obtaining my City & Guilds in mechanical engineering, I went into new/used car sales. Since then I've moved into writing and am a contributor to MotorShack.co.uk.

Based in Norfolk UK, email if you need anything or find out more about me at Google+ - I am also fairly open to contact from those working in a similar field and always open to new ideas / suggestions.

Currently playing: FIFA12, Forza Motorsport 4

Currently listening to: Radiohead, White Stripes, The Black Keys

Currently driving: A KIA Soul (don't ask...)
