Hey, I'm Shawn Miller, a qualified mechanic with over 15 years of hands-on automotive experience, and the founder behind Modified Rides.
I've been absolutely mad about cars since I was a kid. Always had my head under a bonnet or out at car shows and events, checking out class builds and supercars. For over 15 years now, I've been getting my hands dirty with mechanics, tuning, and building modified cars. Also been writing about cars for over 7 years, sharing what I've learned along the way.
My qualifications include professional mechanical training, and I've worked on everything from everyday motors to high-performance builds. What gets me buzzing is digging into the technical details that fellow car enthusiasts actually care about.
I write honest car news and reviews without the corporate bullshit. Plus decent how-to guides that'll actually help you understand your motor. Doesn't matter if you're running an old banger or something worth serious money — there's always something to learn.
You can check out some of my recent work covering everything from track-focused supercars and innovative EV tech to classic restomods and practical modification guides. I also love getting out to local car shows and events around the UK, bringing you coverage from the ground up.
Modified Rides is dead simple: proper content for car lovers who know the difference between genuine knowledge and marketing waffle.
Everything I write comes from real experience and being absolutely obsessed with anything on four wheels. Because at the end of the day, we're all here for the same thing — the love of cars.
