Contributing journalist

Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.

Citroen C3 2018 review

By Peter Anderson · 15 Mar 2018

Citroen has always Done Things Differently. For most of the time, Citroens have also looked like it when they were doing things differently - either unconventionally pretty (the DS) or boldly individual (virtually everything else). A few years ago, after a series of dull cars like the Xantia and the C4, the French
