Extract from Safe as Houses play by David Dowsey and Simon Plant
Thank you to Mr Glenn Ridge – best known to many as a TV host, but to others as a great 'car guy' – and to Famous Insurance Agency for creating and hosting Famous Last Words, a podcast that profiles people connected with motoring. Glenn spent time with David Dowsey and did a sterling job squeezing the story from him.
Here’s Glenn’s introduction:
Although David Dowsey started his working life as a music teacher, his passion for cars and writing eventually led him to journalism, and a job at ACP’s Unique Cars magazine, which then saw him become Head of Marketing, Media, Communications and Publications at the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce.
David has never lost the love of writing and has written books on luxury subjects including Aston Martin: Power, Beauty and Soul, Elfin: The Spirit of Speed and Making the Cut: The Power and Passion behind a Tailoring Dynasty to name a few and in the process has met some amazing people. He’s also written two crime novels, a stage play, and has a movie screenplay in the works.
David is one of those unique people whose passion for a subject is blatantly obvious when you talk with him, and it can be very infections. I hope you enjoy this month’s Famous Last Words podcast with David Dowsey.
