Here’s filmmaking at full throttle, long before drones and camera cars made everything safe and tidy. To capture the speed and soul of motorcycles, crews did it the hard way: perched on the back of a BMW, braced against the wind, filming with a heavy 16mm camera while the rider carved through the countryside. The fairing hums, the boxer twin thrums beneath them, and the cameraman hangs on with monk-like calm in a storm of noise and motion. It’s a perfect snapshot of a wilder era, when documenting the thrill of riding required just as much courage as riding itself.

I’m just sat at the train station in Preston waiting to pick up a friend. The taxi rank cars look very tired. So I started checking their MOT history. All of them have this line that says: “Vehicle has covers fitted unable to see testable items”. Is it just me or is this dodgy!?

Our Chancellor hasn't got a clue about when a car needs a MOT or how EV's will be monitored.

I first met Quentin in 2008 at a Hotel in Stratford upon Avon. I’d just turned 24, and I was meeting him to ask him to join Warrantywise as our ambassador… it didn’t end well. About half way through, Quentin just stood up and walked out! His Range Rover got stuck at the barrier leaving the hotel, so I knocked on his car window and enquired if he was ok? He said in his rather blunt tone ”yes yes I have to go”. It was one of the strangest meetings I’ve ever had, but it turned out he had a family emergency, and with Quentin family always came first! I was hoping our 2nd meeting would go more smoothly, but he lambasted our terms and conditions so much that he said he couldn’t be part of it, and walked out rather abruptly again. I was beginning to think he just didn’t like us!

Finally, a few months later, I spoke to him on the phone and he said the only way he would work with us was if he could re-write the entire Warrantywise terms and conditions his way - then he’d be happy to put his name to it. I happily said “ok do it”, which I think took him by surprise! It took him 6 months and when he had finished we presented the newly written Terms and Conditions to our underwriters, Lloyds of London, who actually laughed and said the price point would have to quadruple as the terms were so easy to claim on! We went back to Quentin who, on top of the t&c changes, now added he wanted to be able to vito any claim decision we made in order to protect the consumer and his own reputation. We had a difficult decision to make, but eventually we decided to go with Quentin and the UK’s Best Used Car Warranty was born! The rest, as they say, is history and it is in no small way thanks to Quentin.

Over the years Quentin has been a huge support not just to Warrantywise, but also to Lister, and he opened so many doors for us. His interviews with Stirling Moss and Brian Lister really showed his journalistic ability and flair. I was always amazed how you could point a camera at Quentin and, without a script, he could rattle off a perfectly accurate and detailed monologue about whatever it was he was engaged with.

He introduced me to many people in our industry and taught me so much about life. I remember he once advised that if I was ever in polite society and needed a nice wine always ask for a “Chauteauneuf-du-pape”… and I still do! He took me to the original Ivy in London (he was a member of their club) to meet Theo Paphitis and I remember feeling so incredibly privileged and posh to be there.

He was always available for a chat about cars or watches - his encyclopaedic knowledge was much better than Chat GPT. I’d often ring him about obscure classic cars I was thinking of buying, and instantly he would talk in depth about colour codes or specifications that only a real aficionado would know! His car knowledge was simply unsurpassed. Sometimes I’d ask him about people who wanted to work with us. I always remember when asked about one famous person he said, quick as a flash, “no they’re a twat!”. It made me laugh so much.

I will really miss you Quentin. Thank you for everything.
