Her work has covered all branches of the media, including newspapers, magazines, television, radio and online. A vice-president and former chairman of the UK-based Guild of Motoring Writers, Sue has been passionate about cars since childhood, and early in her career spent a very happy year running a motor racing news service.

She recently passed away after a brave battle with motor neuron disease at the age of 67
