Say hi to the new guy

First day at school for PistonHeads' latest recruit

---

The PistonHeads editorial team has been a little under-manned of late so it's great to announce we're back up to full strength and welcome Alex Robbins to the PH fold.

Alex joins us from Performance Ford magazine but his allegiances go a long way beyond the blue oval and luxo-barge cred is assured with ownership of an E39 5 Series. Though not actually compulsory for his job, does actually run a Ford Puma too. Eyebrows were raised with his admission of 'a bit of a thing' for Citroen SMs during his interview (rest assured there was a bit more to the recruitment process than discussion of dream garages...) but his tastes are clearly eclectic and diverse and we'll look forward to finding out more in due course. He's been banned from buying an MX-5 though.

So, as he unpacks his new pencil case and finds out where the tea room is, please extend a warm PH welcome and look forward to hearing more from him over the coming weeks and months.

A more than basic command of English would do for me.

Undermanned: past participle, past tense of underman.

ETA: Welcome.

Welcome - look forward to your contributions. Car history would be interesting if you're an (ex) fast ford man

[Gizmoish]

Hello new person. Prepare to be insulted freely by people who shouldn't be allowed keyboards.

Citroen SMs, eh? I approve...

[Cyrus1971]

Welcome. Hope you can improve the content :-)

[Papa Hotel]

Is he... is he a ginger?

I'd not noticed that, so when I read your post I was hoping it actually said "undermaned" in reference to this gentleman's face foliage and it was just a missed pun. I was disappointed

[Rawwr]

GET OUT.

[Davel]

Hi!

[RockDoctor]

I think his head is a slightly funny shape, but I like the look of him.
