A few words from Ralph.
Welcome to my website,
it's a little window onto my world of automotive adventures, with a bit
of art thrown in absolutely free. Now that’s a billy bargain if
ever there was one.
I have been mucking about with machinery since my first Meccano set as
a child, the great thing about that stuff is it doesn't normally melt
when you set fire to things, ahem, unlike Lego, I discovered..
After studying engineering at Exeter Collage (where I would lecture 20
years later!) I progressed to Warwick Uni where I studied 'controlling
things with computers and doing hard maths'. This lead swiftly to having
to get a proper job, as luck would have it Ford needed some fresh minds
so off I went to Dunton. After six years, and becoming a chartered engineer,
I set out on my own offering contract engineering to the world of automotive
dreams.
I have had the privelege of working all over Europe with a variety of
companies including Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, and a range of small
manufacturers and race teams (many of which no one has heard of!).
In recent years I have started writing technical articles for magazines
such as Practical Performance Car, Full Throttle and Classics Monthly
as well as the occasional TV appearance.
So, if you have a unique automotive project and need someone to point
and laugh at all your plans, then do get in touch.
But if you are looking for a local launderette or a chip shop, you are
at the wrong web site..
Ralph's rant; you know how some things really annoy you..
This month in the workshop.
At the mo I am in the middle of uprating the Disco brakes, preping the Tomcat for selling and swapping the Jag powertrain, again. Just to make it more interesting I am also moving to a bigger workshop, fun fun fun..
The Panic Drive car has too many ends..

It's not easy finding me, a bit like the 'A Team', but without the glamour!
