Giles Thunderton

Giles Thunderton has been Eleutheria's motoring correspondent since 1997, a tenure during which he has driven approximately 340 vehicles at the publication's expense, attended 23 international motor shows, and been asked by the finance department on three separate occasions to justify a hotel bill in Monaco. He considers all three conversations to have gone well. Giles is equally comfortable reviewing a city runabout and a Le Mans prototype, though he makes his preferences clear. He was among the first journalists to review the Lotus Carlton, a piece he describes as "the high watermark of my career and possibly of automotive journalism." He has strong opinions about the TWN 5000, which he considers "a philosophical statement disguised as a vehicle and possibly the most important car of the century." He lives in Surrey. The neighbours have opinions about the driveway.
