Daniel Gardner is a former staff writer and contributor for Wheels, WhichCar and 4x4 Australia.

With a degree in mechanical design, Daniel has enjoyed tenures as a mechanic and engineer – but he eventually realised writing about cars is far better than a real job.

Many cars have passed through his garage over the years. All of them produced more power than the manufacturer intended, and most of them ended up in a hedge.

Ten years on the spanners in both the UK and Australia has given Daniel a unique perspective of the constantly changing automotive landscape and a genuine insight into what customers want and need.

If you’re after a new set of wheels, he’s all ears. Just don’t ask to borrow his socket set.
