    Richard Berry

    Senior Journalist

    Richard had wanted to be an astrophysicist since he was a small child. He was so determined that he made it through two years of a physics degree, despite zero mathematical ability. Unable to build a laser in an exam and failing to solve the theoretical challenge of keeping a satellite in orbit, his professor noted the success Richard was enjoying in the drama and writing courses he had been doing on the side.

    Even though Richard couldn’t see how a degree in story-telling and pretending would ever get him a job, he completed one anyway. Richard has since been a best-selling author and a journalist for 20 years, writing about science, music, finance, cars, TV, art, film, cars, theatre, architecture, food, and cars. He also really likes cars, and has owned an HQ ute, Citroen 2CV, XW Falcon, CV8 Monaro and currently, a 1951 Ford Tudor.

    A husband and dad, Richard’s hobbies also include astronomy.

    Genesis GV80 2024 review: 3.5T Luxury long-term | Part 1

    23 September 2023 by Richard Berry
    It was probably the paint - the green with the matte finish. No, it was the glimmering wheels that looked like tattoos. Actually it was the screens for the kids in the back.
