Once a handy engine and chassis tuner, and a combative racer and rally driver, Michele took up the pen to express his passion for cars, racing and motoring over 30 years ago. He published South Africa’s go-to enthusiast motor magazines Cars in Action and Bakkie - some say against all odds - for a quarter century. In that time, Michele had a hand in nurturing many of today’s SA motoring media leaders. Today Michele keeps himself busy with Auto and a range of motoring media duties.
