Maxine Ashford has been working in journalism since the late 1980s and has been specialising in motoring for the last 24 years.

She relishes the opportunity to drive all the latest models both here in the UK and overseas, as well as interviewing the specialists and engineers behind all the innovative technology as we move towards a fully electrified world of driving.

Maxine has written for national and regional newspapers, websites and specialist magazines, as well as work for BBC radio. She is one of two UK judges for Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year and is an avid rugby fan (watching not playing!)

Carjourno is Maxine’s brainchild offering a user-friendly, easy-to-navigate site that allows you to see exactly what’s on sale in your local showrooms today and in months to come.

Carjourno is completely independent of any manufacturer or media outlet and offers a one hundred per cent unbiased professional viewpoint.

There is a comprehensive list of manufacturers and the models they produce, complete with photographs and technical specifications such as cost, fuel economy, EV driving range, carbon emissions and performance stats.

There are test drive reviews for many vehicles which are constantly updated.

By using carjourno you can quickly compare similar models and even take a peek at the oh-so-desirable supercars.

There are also details on the latest industry news and about important upcoming events such as the major international motor shows. You can also follow carjourno on facebook and twitter for the latest updates.
