Front and centre or behind the scenes, JBens has near on 20 years of experience in media related to all things automotive. With a growing collection of Commodores, (he has no idea how many he actually owns), including a couple of cracking '80s projects, the GMH love runs deep.

As former editor of Hot4s Magazine, he's just as likely to get excited about a classic rotor or SR-powered Datsun as he is a blown VK. Typically spotted in his trademark sunnies, flanno and hat, he’s difficult to miss. Just listen for the cries of “Maad!” and tag along for the inevitable chaos that follows.
