Tim Dickson Chief sub-editor

Tim spent 20 years riding motorcycles for a living but these days he’s happier with a wheel at each corner. He still thinks having a roof over his head is a novelty, and firmly believes that heated seats are for wimps.

As the proud owner of Autocar’s third-longest commute, Tim always has an eye on a car’s fuel consumption. He also has a nose for technical detail and understands where torque is made, how a multiplate clutch works and what a compression ratio is. And why.
