About Diseno-Art.com  


Diseno-art.com is a website dedicated to all interesting vehicles. From sports cars and superbikes to powerboats and miniature submarines. On production vehicle pages there is the option to add information or reviews on the vehicles covered. However unlike most vehicle user/owner review websites the information is checked, language filtered and edited. And although this process takes a little longer it helps cut down on pointless vehicle reviews like; "I want one"!

We do our best to cover the more unusual modes of transport on offer throughout the world, as well as writing about some of the more extreme technology being developed for new vehicles.

Being an enthusiasts website we are open to any suggestions on how it can be improved and expanded. Please e-mail any suggestions or comments you have to: inquiries@diseno-art.com




The Team

Jeff Darling, Editor Fascinated by all types of unusual transport from an early age, Jeff Darling has driven and ridden a varied and eclectic range of vehicles from both sides of the Atlantic. Some good, most bad. He has restored several classic American and European cars - before realizing he needed a bit more practice. He spent time studying auto body repair at college in the US, and began studying automotive design in the UK. Currently he writes, edits and maintains the diseno-art website full time, and also dabbles in a range of computer aided design projects. Desperately looking for another (affordable) project car at the moment, he is consoling himself with learning to fly a remote control helicopter.

Colin Fowler, Road Tester Colin Fowler is a genuine car enthusiast, one who prides function over form. When asked that most common of questions: "Would you rather have a Lada which handled and went like a Ferrari, or a Ferrari which handles and goes like a Lada?" He picks the Lada every time. Style means nothing to this man - It's all about the driving experience. In-between frequent, almost religious praise of the Lancia Delta Integrale he spends his time abusing his Suzuki GSXR750 in all climates, watching classic and in-car rally videos, and driving numerous borrowed, bought and blagged hot hatches and sports cars. On a more tranquil level Mr. Fowler holds a UK National B Rally Licence and is currently entertaining hopes of entering the 205 Challenge rally series as a part time hobby. He also plays Gotham Racing on XBox 360.

Liza Carruthers, Contributor Liza's favorite mode of transport doesn't doesn't actually have wheels, nor does it require expensive fossil fuels - just lots of grass and horse feed. Yes its a horse. However on top of that she's also great at looking past the facade of shiny newness which blinds many a car buyer, and instead focuses on solid substance and everyday practicality.

Tom Armstrong, Contributor With a BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree under his belt, a Ph.D. in automotive engineering nearly complete, and an encyclopedic and pedantic knowledge of all things metallic and gear-like, Tom is the perfect guy to comment on some of the more complex technologies which are found throughout the modern car. He's also reasonably competent with a welder, and has competed in the Formula Student race team for Manchester Metropolitan University.
