Ian is a content editor on MSN Cars, a job that involves writing twin tests, news and features, to building web pages, writing headlines and subbing content. Before this he worked on the now-deceased Test Drive magazine where he was a features writer, and before that spent two years on the consumer and roadtest desks of What Car? In his spare time, Ian has written for Auto Express, Jack, T3 and the Fifth Gear website, and started his journalism life in the more sober role of editor in an internal communications agency.
Current car: Audi A4 and Skoda Fabia. "I share the A4 with my girlfriend, and the Skoda is my ace long-termer."
All time favourite car: "Where do I start? My all time favourite real-world car is a BMW 335d, alongisde which I would park a Porsche 911 Turbo (pictured right), a Ferrari 599GTB, an Audi RS4 and a '70s 911.
Peter's been a motoring journalist for some 30 years, starting off on Motoring Which? after a period as a mechanical engineer. He left which to become a presenter on Top Gear for a couple of series and since then has written about almost every car on the planet as editor of the Daily Express World Car Guide as well as producing his own title, the UK Car Catalogue. Helped launch MSN Cars back in 2000. A juror on the World Car of the Year Awards.
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."
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...
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."
James Ruppert sold BMWs in the '80s, then wrote the seminal Dealing with Car Dealers which revealed for the first time how the car trade operated. As a journalist he's had an 18 year stint with Car Magazine as their used car guru, is still an Agony Uncle for the Independent on Sunday and a Special Correspondent for Autocar, as well as now a used car contributor to MSN Cars.
Founder of vehicle inspection company Used Car Checks and author of the best seller Bangernomics, he's also done telly and radio with a spectacular lack of success. James has four vehicles with current MOTs and at his time of life quite fancies a Bristol (right), or Jensen Interceptor.
