JAMES FURZER

Freelance Automotive Journalist

My name is James and I am a 25 year-old aspiring Automotive Journalist from Sydney, Australia. In today’s present world of journalism it is far from easy to break through into the automotive scene, therefore I have decided to take it upon myself to start up ‘The Spirited Driver’. The Spirited Driver is an avenue in which I can express my unique views on performance cars of past, present and future and share those views with all of you who may find my approach to their taste. 

 

The world of cars is nothing new to me, being

bought up in a family where my father has 

concoursed his Porsche 944 S2 for over a decade and his father before him (my grandfather) was a panel beater and one of the three founding fathers of JWF (Johnson Williams Furzer) who made the Milano GT that is still found racing today. It was only natural that I’d follow suit with the same passion just with a different avenue, being journalism.

Journalism to me remains important due to the focus on self expression, when I was much younger I got the sense of self expression from watching Jim Ross on WWE Raw every week adding his own personal touch through the use of powerful expressive dialogue with almost everything he said, its allowed him to go down in history as one of (if not the) greatest of all time in that industry. Today I find Henry Catchpole and Chris Harris two of the very best automotive journalists for the exact same reason, you can feel the passion they have for the industry through the words they string together and the comparisons they utilise weaved throughout their work like a subplot in a film.

 

I hope you find The Spirited Driver a place where the passion for cars shines through, cause I believe the passion is like the sole to writing and without it, there wouldn’t be any point.

 

Thankyou for checking out The Spirited Driver, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do writing it. Any questions or queries do not hesitate to email me at thespiriteddriver96@gmail.com or Direct Message me on Instagram @Thespiriteddriver.
