Our Team

Rob Fraser – General dogsbody & Director

Rob is the founder of the business. He constantly mutters something about way too many red wines one evening being to blame.

He first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. In addition to 4WD he is an avid motoring enthusiast and has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since his teens. He has owned way too many cars in his time as well.

Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.

He has towed either a caravan or camper trailer to most parts of Australia, has run guided tours for camper trailers’ and instructed drivers in off road towing. Often known for taking the 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has travelled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive.

AnyAuto Brianna Fraser Profile 2Brianna Fraser – Motoring Minute and Catering 

Brianna has taken on the role of joint content creator for Motoring Minute.

Brianna is also qualified in the Hospitality, Beauty and Child Care industries but still finds time to be our resident gourmet chef. She provides the most magnificent meals when the mood takes her.

Her camp oven damper made at Ute weekends and camping trips has to be tasted to be believed.

In addition to that, she has a particular affinity with off road driving and has been driving since she was 9 years on the same farm as Rob learned to drive on. Unusually for one so young she is exceptionally competent with off road driving, keeping up with drivers that many more years experience. Brianna is currently compiling her own bush cook book along with her other business interests.

Anthony Hood ProfileAnthony Hood – Freelance Contributor

Anthony is an avid motoring enthusiast. His interests lie in performance cars, street rods, drag racing, 4WDriving and camping, burn out competitions, circuit racing and hill climbs. He is our resident hoon with heaps of experience.

Married with three children and a qualified Auto Electrician, Diesel Mechanic and Fitter, he has worked in the industry since leaving school. His sheds are full of race cars and engines in various stages of working order.

Anthony doesn’t get caught up in the marketing hype of the automotive industry and is fairly blunt. He brings a very laid back approach to reviewing vehicles. His specialty is fitting out 4WD vehicles for heavy off road work and outback touring.

He is also currently restoring the very same WW11 Jeep that he, Chloe, Brianna and Rob all learned to drive in.

Caitlin Baker smallCaitlin Baker – News Editor

Caitlin joined the team in 2024 as News Editor.

Caitlin grew up in New Zealand with her mum and her dad, a former national-level rally driver and offroad racer. Dad Mark’s career is in public relations and communications, and he is currently an automotive columnist and editor of NZ4WD Magazine editor and motorsport journalist.

Growing up with her father’s interests she grew to love learning about cars and how they work. Always enjoying the occasional fast drive, Caitlin follows F1 and keeps up to date with her uncle and cousin who race in the local off-road racing championships in NZ.

Caitlin graduated with an International Business and Strategy Degree and has come over to Melbourne to develop her career.

Pete Wilson Freelance Contributor

Pete has been a business associate of Rob’s for over 30 years. He has been in the automotive industry for what seems like forever and loathes publicity, hence his extremely low profile.

Often involved in both Steve’s and Rob’s misadventures, Pete is never one to mince words and has offended more than one PR person in his time. Sometimes they don’t like the truth.

He hates car launches, photos and marketing hype. Nevertheless he is a wealth of knowledge when we can get him to write for us.

Other Freelance Contributors

Alan Zurvas – Freelance Contributor

Alan’s interest in cars began in his early teens and has been a member of several car clubs having owned a number of classic cars himself.

He has a background in the corporate sector and has reviewed everything from restaurants to theatre and accommodation before settling on motoring. Alan brings a unique flavour to his reviews that is different to any of the other contributors. He founded and continues to write for Gay Car Boys as well as being a welcome contributor to AnyAuto.

 

OzRoamer David Brown ProfileDavid Brown – Freelance Contributor

David’s boyhood passion for motor cars did not immediately lead to a professional role in the motor industry but rather first he worked in the fields of why we travel and how we move about. A qualified Civil Engineer he specialised in traffic engineering and transport planning.

What followed were various positions including being seconded to a government think-tank for the planning of transport firstly in Sydney and then for the whole of NSW. After working with the NRMA and as a consultant he has moved to being an independent writer and commentator on the broader areas of transport and the more specific areas of the cars we drive.

His half hour motoring program “Overdrive” has been described as an “informed, humorous and irreverent look at motoring and transport from Australia and overseas”. It is heard on 22 stations across Australia. He does weekly interviews with several ABC radio stations and is also heard on commercial radio in Sydney.

David has written for metropolitan and regional newspapers and has presented regular segments on metropolitan and regional television stations

OzRoamer Harold Wythes Profile Harold Wythes – Provides testing facilities

Anthony, or he is also known as ‘Harold’, owns the farm where Rob first learned to drive, a 1300 acre hilly paradise of mixed grazing and cropping out beyond Cargo in NSW Central West. He has been a friend of Rob’s for over 60 years.

4WD enthusiasts search for those ‘challenging’ tracks, Harold drives them every day on his farm and does it in a beat up 30 year old Land Rover. This slice of peaceful paradise is often the test ground for AWD & 4WD’s throughout the years and Harold’s input is very pertinent and valuable.

Vicki Fraser – Accounts Admin and Contributor

Vicki is Rob’s sister. She has travelled extensively throughout Australia and Overseas. She has been on 6 or 7 extended touring holidays around various parts of Australia, either towing a caravan or camping, sometimes for several months at a time.
