Shahzad Sheikh AKA the BrownCarGuy, has been a motoring journalist and content creator for 35 years, working professionally in the UK and Middle East. 

He launched the Parkers website as Online Editor in 2000, and was the editor of Car Magazine’ Middle East franchise edition, whilst later co-founding Motoring Middle East, and hosting a car show on FOX MENA TV, as well as being a regular on Dubai Eye’s weekly CarTalk show.
