What does Autofocus mean to you?
For me, Autofocus is inspired by automotive blog sites, such as Speedhunters. I would say that Autofocus is a group of friends creating their own ‘Speedhunters’ for the Sydney scene. Autofocus will give me the opportunity to photograph / drive / meet / share new cars & people.
What is your favorite element of automotive culture?
It’s a toss-up between, chatting about cars with your mates at the Pub & Grassroots motorsport. I think I would have to go for the latter, because you become mates with the people you compete with.
What are you currently driving?
Currently have a 2004 Mazda Mx5 SE turbo, & partial driving rights to a 2007 RENAULTsport Megane 230 F1 Team R26.
Car history:
2003 RENAULTsport Clio 172 – Possibly my favorite car to date, as it was my first real performance car. Light/Raw/Punchy.
2007 RENAULTsport Megane 230 F1 Team R26 – first turbo, liquid yellow – the best paint colour ever. Interesting looks and a proper LSD! R32 killer.
2005 RENAULTsport Megane 225 Cup – Replacement for R26; GTI killer.
1993 MX-5 Clubman – My idea of a poor man’s lotus. Opened the door to competitive club level sprint racing.
2004 Mazda Mx5 SE turbo – Clubman with more power. Work in progress – wheels, brakes, suspension, engine & ECU have all been upgraded.
