Jil McIntosh: Rude, Lewd & Tattooed: March 2015

WHERE I WRITE

I'm a writer by trade, and a curmudgeon by design. My specialty is automotive, but I'll write about anything the editors want - and that has included cocktails, cooking, travel, celebrity interviews, and even the stuff that's shipped in plain brown wrappers.
I'm interested in a lot of things: I collect fountain pens, books and tattoos; I love horse racing; and when I have some spare time I like to bake and garden. I also have opinions, which I'm not afraid to share, and that's what this blog is all about.
For auto-related stuff, check out my car blog that's linked above. For everything else, here it is!

If you're ever in Shanghai's airport with a lot of time to kill, as I did last fall, you simply must ride the Maglev levitating train. It makes return trips into the city at speeds of up to 430 km/h. Find out more in my "One Cool Thing" travel piece on it in the Toronto Star.
