Current car: Porsche 911. "It's a 1991 964 Carrera 4 coupe, which I've had since 1999. I keep looking at 'better' 911's but my car is such a peach I might never change it"

All time favourite car: "For a long time I would have said the Ferrari Dino 246 coupe. It certainly wasn't a disappointment when I drive one for a day in 2006. But I also have a soft spot for old Lotus, and having owned four, I feel another baby Elan could sit nicely alongside the 911. It's really just a matter of finding the right car at the right price."

Equally at home with a camera as a keyboard, Dan contributes roadtests and features to MSN and a wide range of motoring publications.
Current car: 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX “As a country lad I had to have the estate version so I like to think my choice is more green wellies than Reebok Classics, despite accusations I am simply indulging my inner chav.”
Mercedes Gullwing
All time favourite car: Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. “A two-day drive from Germany to London in a freshly restored Gullwing remains one of the highlights of my career so far. I’m just one lottery win away from owning one of my own…”

Christopher Hubbard
Christopher Hubbard

Christopher began working at editorial agency Motoring Research soon after graduating from Coventry University's MA in Automotive Journalism in 2006. So far he hasn't crashed anything and is thoroughly enjoying fulfilling the ambition he's always had to become a motoring writer. Don't ask him about working in retail though, or he might start to twitch...

Nissan Skyline

Current car: Ford SportKa. "Best. Gearbox. Ever." BMW E34 520i. "£800 three years ago and still going. Just." All-time favourite car? "No such thing - that's like asking for a single favourite film. Realistically, I think I'd like an R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R (right) - enough performance to smoke most supercars out of sight."
