ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Dan, aka DannyDC2!

Ever since I've been driving cars I've been posting about them. For more than 10 years I've been sharing my experiences, from crashing my car at the Nürburgring, to sharing bum cushions with BTCC legends.

It's been quite a journey, and there's still so much more to do. I've been meaning to create a website for a while, as well as restarting my shop. This site ticks both those boxes. It shows you who I am, what I do, and gives people an opportunity to support the channel.

The world is a strange place now, but the things we love don't need to change. We are enthusiasts, born not to think, but to drive. We know what's within our control, it's a steering wheel and some pedals. We aren't going to worry about the rest!

If you want to connect with me best to email, see the contact page.

This is my story so far, the rest is still unwritten
