Amanda Banner (Senior Copy Editor, Content Writer)

Words are my playground, and cars are my passion. I’ve spent my life chasing the perfect sentence and the open road, believing that both can tell a story that stays with you. Some people see a car as a way to get from A to B; I see it as a story waiting to be told. I’m the kind of person who can get lost in the curves of a winding road as easily as the lines of a beautifully written paragraph. Editing? Writing? For me, it’s not work—it’s art. I love taking raw ideas and turning them into something that feels alive, something readers want to hold onto long after they’ve finished. You’ll often find me with a notebook in hand, jotting down thoughts in the middle of nowhere or tucked in a cozy corner, lost in the flow of words. Whether I’m writing about horsepower or heart, my goal is always the same: to make you feel something.

Ian Chase (Content Writer, Staff Editor)

Some people are born into cars, and I guess you could say I was drafted into them. My dad, an F1 mechanic and lifelong racing enthusiast, had me in the garage before I could spell “spark plug.” Growing up surrounded by the roar of engines and the smell of motor oil left an imprint on me. And when I wasn’t absorbing all things F1, I was scribbling down my thoughts in notebooks. Writing became my way of piecing together the world, much like tuning an engine. I earned my degree in creative writing to hone my craft, but my passion has always been telling stories about cars. Whether it’s unraveling the engineering behind a race-winning machine or capturing the thrill of a Sunday drive, I aim to connect with readers who feel that same spark when they hear an engine roar. For me, writing about cars isn’t just a job. It’s continuing the legacy my dad started. Every piece I write is fueled by the love for speed, precision, and the timeless beauty of the automotive world.

Anna Priddle (Content Manager, Graphic Designer)

The first time I stepped into a car showroom, I wasn’t ready for what I saw. It wasn’t just rows of vehicles; it was art, frozen in motion. The lines, the curves, the way light danced on polished surfaces—it was as if each car was whispering a story, waiting to be heard. Until that moment, I had only drawn landscapes, my sketchbook filled with trees and mountains. But after that visit, everything changed. The shy teenager who once hid behind soft strokes of pastel green and blue became obsessed with capturing the raw energy and sleek elegance of cars. Drawing them wasn’t enough. I needed to understand how they were brought to life—how engineers and designers worked together to transform concepts into these magnificent sculptures on wheels. It became a journey, one that pushed me to learn everything I could about design, aerodynamics, and the artistry behind every bolt and contour. For me, cars aren’t just machines; they’re living, breathing creations of form and function. They’re poetry in motion, and my love for them grows with every sketch, every line, and every new model I discover.
