Let me introduce myself

Hello, I’m Dan. For several years now, writing has been my preferred method of dealing with the constant ear-splitting noise inside my head — a deafening cacophony of thoughts, opinions, bad ideas and random songs all trying to speak over each other at once. In an attempt to shut this noise up, I write rambles about whatever has bothered me that day or simply find myself rattling on about a random thought or idea I’ve had. And it works. 

This all started when I tried to write about cars, when I realised that when I put my mind into pouring out my thoughts and opinions on whatever car i’d test-driven, my mind would go quiet and actually concentrate, ranting about things like how many gloves will actually fit in the glove box or whatever else it is that bothered me. 

Since then, the scope has expanded. ideas, annoyances, observations, and whatever else happens to be on my mind on a given day. I call these rants, rambles and writings “chapters”. And that's where This site comes in—it is essentially a storage facility for all my writings. where people can read them, laugh at them, or me. 

I’m also having another go at motoring journalism. This time though I’ll be using my ability to rattle on and rant instead of pretending I know what I’m doing, instead offering a perspective that’s less showroom brochure and more pub conversation with someone who’s had too much caffeine and opinions about legroom, gadgets, traffic lights and sound systems. Enjoy.
