Scott Newman is handsome, charming, wise, immensely talented and certainly didn't write this. He has been an automotive journalist since 2010, starting on Unique Cars before a long-term stint as Associate Editor of MOTOR and more recently being the Road Test Editor of Carsales.com.au
Scott’s been lucky enough to drive some of the world’s greatest supercars but reckons every car – especially those of past eras – offers its own unique experience, and you can have just as much fun in something that cost $5000 as $500,000.
A past rallyist, Scott will happily compete at every opportunity and owned a Nissan R31 Silhouette for more than 15 years. The current steed is a pleasant but plain family SUV. Something to work on.
