Whether it's chasing down the latest supercar scoops or dissecting the daily grind of four-wheeled adventures, Jack's got the insider's view on what keeps the automotive world spinning.

From the thrill of jet-setting to new car launches across continents to who host the best car launches, Jack pulls no punches on the jet-set highs and the "what was I thinking?" lows of life on the motoring beat.
