    Hello from England

    My name is Alex and I am 18 Years old. I drive a Fiat 500 and absolutely love Ferrari. I pride myself in my auto-knowledge and have a genuine passion for all things bearing the prancing pony. I have been a long time lurker/infrequent poster on this forum, and it information and insight has proven invaluable to me. I thought it was time to show some support and subscribe :)

    I am hoping to become an automotive journalist, and follow in the likes of my favourite auto-writers such as Chris Harris, John Barker, Richard Meaden and Harry Metcalfe. (Yes i'm an EVO subscriber ;))

    To aid my university campaign, I have started a motor blog, about various automotive events that I can get to. I thought I could make this into a shamefull plug!.

    The address is: www.automotivevents.blogspot.com
    Please take a few to check it out I would greatly apreciate any feedback/critique/praise ;).
    I have just started publicising on twitter too so if you like the blog (fingers crossed) and are a user please follow @automotivevents for updates.

    Im a keen (though not so skilled) photographer and use flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35643146@N03/ After a look through there, you'll realise how Ferrari bias I am!!!

    Hoping to prove useful and insightful to this forum, and contribute half as much as i've taken out of it!

    Thanks guys.

    Thanks a lot. Its a bit of a strange career in terms of actually getting into it, many reputable writers have told me there's no straight forward way in. I figured if I start writing as much as I can now getting the practice in, it won't do any harm!
