Ash Westerman

Westerman’s love affair with the car began over 50 years ago, when he began obsessively washing his mum’s Morris 1100, aged around four. (He was known to miss a few spots on the roof.)

He got his start as a motoring writer on MOTOR in the late '80s, where he cut his chops as a road tester, honed his magazine craft, and learned to write about himself in the third person. Several decades on he’s a core part of the Wheels engine room, and washes far fewer Morris 1100s.

His passion and fascination for all things automotive is as strong as ever, and he’s embracing the transition to an electric future with open arms – just as long as there’s enough dinosaur juice left for early morning ICE blasts on any given Sunday.
