Kunal D’souza

Kunal D’souza has been working in the automobile industry for over 15 years, but his obsession with cars goes back much further. From hardcore track specials to weird and quirky vehicles, there’s very little on wheels that doesn’t interest him. His work has appeared in newspapers, websites, and magazines, and he’s made appearances on TV and radio, all in the name of the automobile. When he’s not writing or talking about cars, he can be found working in his garden.
