Humphrey Bwayo
Humphrey’s first interaction with cars was with a BMW E36 M3 toy car he got for his 5th birthday. It was a short-lived love story after it crash-landed from the dining table as the young toddler enjoyed his favorite bowl of cereal.
He got his passion for cars from his Dad, who spent thousands of hours working on his old junky 1970 E20 Toyota Corolla a.k.a. “the old faithful.” Years later, he’d do the same with a series of lemons he’s owned throughout his adult life.
After Journalism School, he worked for a local News broadcaster but soon diverted into digital print. He’s had an extensive career writing and editing for websites like National Monitor, The Clever, Columbia Observer, Gadget Review, Hotcars, and TheDrive.
Now he’s found a home with what he believes is the best automotive team on the interwebs—autoevolution.com Today, he spends his time doing what he loves best: driving, talking, writing, and working on cars.
