About Adam Clarke
I was born in Sydney, Australia, but have spent most of my life living in the island state of Tasmania. The only thing south of us is Antarctica! A lot of people have a deep passion for all things automotive. My wife would tell you that mine is less of a passion and more of an obsession. Most children have an imaginary friend. I had an imaginary car! Throughout my life I have had the privilege of driving more than my fair share of amazing cars. I have also driven a number of dogs...and some of them had fleas! I want to be able to share my passion of all things automotive with as many people as possible. I hope that you enjoy my posts.
