Matthew Hansen co-founded motorsport outlet Velocity News, worked as a freelance photographer for various race teams, and was a specialist journalist for NZ Autocar Magazine and Driven at the NZ Herald. Most recently, he was Editor of Motoring at Stuff.co.nz . His first launch event in Europe saw him take on a left-hand drive car for the first time – a McLaren 570S Spider – on the roads outside Barcelona, no doubt terrifying his passenger for the day, CarExpert's own Anthony Crawford. His 2007 Honda Civic Type R FD2 sits dusty in his garage, longing to be driven more than once a month. If he's not busy writing road tests or the latest in breaking news, Matthew is most likely scanning the internet for model car bargains or riding the perpetual emotional rollercoaster of being a New Zealand Warriors supporter.
