Ken Gratton finished secondary school with little idea of what he wanted to do. After bumming around in clerical jobs for a few years he joined the Royal Australian Air Force to study Mandarin Chinese and then gather information concerning China for the Australian government. After leaving the RAAF he worked as a building control room operator in the unexpectedly dynamic environment of Melbourne Central Shopping Centre. Eventually he talked his way into writing automotive news, reviews and advice for carsales.com.au, and retired only recently. Ken lives in Melbourne's eastern suburbs with his wife Jenni and two adult children.
