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.

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, Evo 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..

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