One of Tim’s earliest memories of cars is sitting in an Aston Martin at a car lottery in Heathrow Airport as a child preparing to come back to Australia after a holiday. He dreamed of being a journalist from early high school and worked as a football match reporter for his local association in the Illawarra before moving on to bylines at Football New South Wales and Football Australia. After working on radio at ABC Illawarra during university, Tim joined CarsGuide as a News Journalist to tackle the latest motoring news.
