Dodge, Mercedes and Mother's Day
I feel like I wrote half the Toronto Star's automotive section today. First up, because tomorrow is Mother's Day, I did a piece on my mother's love of cars. (She's the one sitting on the '51 Ford at left.) You can find it here.
I've got a review of the Mercedes-Benz C230, the entry-level C-Class sold only in Canada, which is here.
And finally, you can find my opinions on the Dodge Caliber by clicking here.

- I didn’t grow up loving cars, but when the bug finally hit, it took me by storm. I make my living writing about them, and I spend much of my spare time playing with them.
I’m a freelance writer and a member of the Automobile Journalists of Canada. My regular outlets include new-car reviews and special-interest articles for The Toronto Star (Wheels section); new-car reviews and news reports for Canadian Driver, where I’m also the Assistant Editor; articles on antique cars for Old Autos Newspaper; and articles in the industry trade magazine Tire News.
But I’m more than just cars: I also write about food and drink, travel, pen collecting, celebrity interviews and pets, among others. My work has appeared in such publications as Harrowsmith Country Life, Pen World, Dogs In Canada, Where New Orleans, Rural Delivery and Writer’s Journal.
