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 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..
This month in the workshop.
Well, its quite frantic. I have Rons 6x6 in for an engine swap, a couple of landrovers and some BMWs to play with...

It's not easy finding me, a bit like the 'A Team', but without the glamour!
Ralph's rant; you know how some things really annoy you..
