Our Founder's Journey

Lee Newnham

Founder & Owner

"I have been involved with cars all my life. Since watching The Cannonball Run film when growing up, and specifically the Lamborghini Countach opening scene, life has been about cars. When growing up throughout my teens and early 20's, I was heavily into the 'modified' car scene."

"As time went on, I moved into the Audio Systems side of modifying. In the late 2000's, I was introduced to the Japanese car scene and more specifically the Nissan Skyline. From approx 2007, I have owned many Skylines, 200sx's, Mazda MX5's, Mitsubishi GTO etc."

"In approx 2014, I was fortunate enough (following a lot of hard work and saving), to buy my first Supercar, which was a Ferrari 360 Spider F1, in Grigio Alloy. From then on, I've been heavily into the Supercar world, having owned numerous supercars, including Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini and McLaren."
