Joining the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club in 1963, he became the club's youngest chairman in 1989. Following which, he launched Pinnacle magazine, "The magazine for International Rolls-Royce and Bentley Owners" on behalf of the Sir Henry Royce Memorial Foundation. He has written five children's books on engineering subjects and edited seven others for Merlion Publishing, a division of Penguin Books.

He has contributed to several motoring magazines.
