Articles by Bruce Newton

Bruce started his career as a daily newspaper journalist but quickly gravitated to the motoring sphere. He has written about motorcycles, motorsport and motor vehicles for nearly 40 years. In that time he has edited Auto Action, Which Car, the GoAuto website and contributed to many fine publications here and internationally.

Bruce has been a freelance writer for 15 years, which allows him to indulge in a passion for mountain bikes when some editors think he’s actually slaving away at the laptop (ssh!). Bruce is a father of three adult daughters and lives on the Western Port coast in Victoria with wife Jane and loyal Dachshund Eddie.
