Dan has been a freelance motoring journalist for around fifteen years. In 2025 he launched Copacetic magazine, a project that he dearly loves despite all the sleepless nights and constant financial peril. To pay the bills, he’s also editor of MiniWorld magazine. He’s written thousands of mag features over the years, for titles including Octane, Classic & Sports Car, Classic Ford, Fast Car, Banzai, Retro Cars, Classic.Retro.Modern, VWt, BMW Car, Performance VW, Modern Classics, GT Porsche, PPC, VolksWorld and various others; he was also previously editor of Mini Magazine and Fast Ford.
Dan’s had more silly cars than he can remember (he lost count when it got past a hundred), including five 205 GTIs, a handful of Capris, a BMW 2002 Touring rally car, all sorts of XR- and RS-badged Fords, assorted Type R Civics and Audi TT 225s and many other daft things.
