Do what you love, and try to make an honest buck out of it.

Codrin just loves American classics, from the 1940s and ‘50s, all the way to the muscle cars of the '60s and '70s. In his perfect world, we'll still see Hudsons and Road Runners roaming the streets for years to come (even in EV form, if that's what it takes to keep the aesthetic alive).

A University of Portsmouth graduate, Codrin seized the opportunity to jump into the automotive world after having been a gaming/tech TV journalist for quite some time.

He feels there's something incredibly special about having the opportunity to write about things you're passionate about, and at the end of the day... get to pay the bills too.
