Dan's actual car: "A cheapy Eunos Roadster with a noisy exhaust. Several bicycles, each of which cost considerably more than the Mazda."
What Dan loves about working on PistonHeads: "It's geeky, the banter flows in abundance and anyone showing signs of taking themselves too seriously has it ripped out of them mercilessly in seconds. Same as the office!"

What James does: Community and Marketing Manager
Years of service: None yet

What James loves about working on PistonHeads: "The concept of a huge community of people from all walks of life being united in a love of all things automotive is pretty amazing. Its also lovely to be paid for something I'm enthusiastic about. And the banter is hilarious." [He says that now... - Ed.]
