George’s journey into the world of automotive began at a young age when he was first introduced to a 2-stroke kart back in the 90s. From then on, there was no turning back as his passion for all things automotive began to grow. Though it was only a hobby at first, his deep love for cars stayed with him throughout his formative years.

He would pursue a degree in tech and IT at university in London in 2016, but it soon became apparent that this was not the path for him. After graduation, in 2020 during the pandemic, he captured his first article for an automotive magazine and the rest, as they say, is history.

In the following years, George began to shoot commercially for high-end car brands all over the world, while also publishing dozens of articles.

As a writer, photographer and director has a deep passion to drive and better understand the machines he captures on film.

He has driven some of the most spectacular examples in the automotive world, including an Aston Martin DB4, Porsche 356 B Carrera 2, and Colin McRae's 1997 Subaru Impreza WRC, et al.

While he has driven almost every current generation car under the sun, there is still much more for him to experience and he remains on the hunt for the next big thrill.

Johann is an historian at heart and at one point seriously considered becoming an archaeologist.

However, he followed his penchant for travel in a more formal corporate environment for 12 years.

Presently, Johann’s vocation is determined by my various interests.

Automobiles are a great passion, and while having a particularly liking to all things BMW, he is a hardened devotee of classics from many other marques.

In 2012 he wrote his first published feature which started him on a journey in the automotive world that his fired his passion like no other career through his life.

His time is consumed by writing about classic and collectable cars for several publications. The other half is spent creating limited edition prints, bespoke motor books, capturing automotive icons and custom posters.

Malia is an automotive writer with a penchant for all things automotive.

Though she finds herself drawn to a menagerie of interests both far and wide, the draw to the motoring world has never faltered. Whether it be attending motorcycle racing events or maintaining her 250,000-mile BMW E46 ZHP, you’re guaranteed to find her next to something with an engine.

A full-time mechanical engineer with a background in chemistry and physics, Malia aims to bridge the gap between technical topics and historical ones through storytelling.

Fueled by learning, she embraces any opportunity to learn more about different cultures, languages, and countries through car culture abroad.

She has written for the BMW CCA, Bimmer Life magazine, Fittipaldi Wheels, Centerline Wheels, Gear Off Road, and other brand-based publications prior to joining the Retromotive team.

When she’s not obsessing over obscure forms of motorsports, researching quirky cars she can’t afford, or attending automotive events, you can find her enjoying the original form of horsepower at her local stables. Whether it has four hooves or it’s on four tires, she remains faithful to her passion for horsepower.
