Rush is an independent voice in automotive journalism, here to ignite your passion for the machines that define automotive greatness – the iconic drivers’ cars of the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s, each capable of turning any journey into an occasion.

While others obsess over numbers, we chase sensations: the nuance of a perfectly balanced chassis mid-corner, the subtle vibrations that speak through the steering wheel, the satisfaction of a well-executed heel-and-toe.

Our mission is to rekindle the spark that made you fall in love with cars in the first place. Through immersive storytelling and technical deep-dives, we explore what makes these machines legendary.

Driving Enthusiasm isn’t just what we do – it’s why we exist.

Meet the Team

Craig Toone

Craig Toone

Rush Founder

Obsessed with cars and car magazines ever since growing up in the back of a Sapphire Cosworth. Spent childhood etching the racing line into the family carpet with Matchbox toys. These days, he's usually found three-wheeling his Clio 182 Trophy through the Forest of Bowland - before bemoaning the running costs.

Ken Pearson

Ken Pearson

Deputy Editor

Resident Mercedes expert, affordable drivers' car champion and EV sympathiser. Can often be found on the other end of an argument with Craig with regards to powertrains and styling, bringing balance to the force.

Alex Dunlop

Alex Dunlop

Features Writer

Obsessed with all things four wheeled, a product of the 90s weaned on Gran Turismo, WRC and Le Mans. As fanatical about Porsches as he is Hot Rods and has a uselessly encyclopaedic knowledge of weird Japanese cars. A devout worshipper of the Manual gearbox, power sliding and is almost too tall to fit in anything comfortably.

Kristian Spreckley

Kristian Spreckley

Road Tester

The resident hot shoe, Kris has penchant for hardcore sportscars, giving a home to a Megane R26.R, an M3 CSL, a Yaris GR and an Alien Green Clio 200. Constantly debates the merits of trading the lot in for a 997 GT3 RS.

Kotto Williams

Kotto Williams

Features Writer

Opinionated, left field and always entertaining, Kotto marches to his own beat. It's probably because he's high off all the petrol fumes from daily driving a TVR Chimaera, or because he still suffers from PTSD when he sold his A80 Supra Twin-turbo right before prices went nuts.

John Bee

John Bee

Features Writer

A committed track day addict who brakes late and wrestles with lift-off oversteer, John ultimately prefers a calmer pace on the road. He believes driving pleasure comes in many forms, whether its a wafting road trip in his Jaguar XJ40, a marvel of engineering in his daily-driver Audi A2, or a flat out lap in his banzai Civic Type-R.

Aaron Stokes

Aaron Stokes

Staff Writer

Amateur photographer, self-confessed Aston Martin addict, and lifelong model car collector, Aaron has a keen eye on the future of the automotive world. He keeps his finger on the pulse by indulging in far too many YouTube reveal videos. Armed with a degree in Journalism, he’s now found his place in the writer’s seat, turning passion into prose.

Tim Dunlop

Tim Dunlop

Contributing Editor

Tim is a hugely passionate petrolhead and historian who favours lightweight and innovation over brute force, as evidenced by his current steed; an Alpine A110
