creativity is intelligence

having fun

A FEW WORDS FROM NIGEL

‘Creativity is intelligence having fun’. This is how Einstein described the ability to transform ideas into reality.

From a young age, this so-called intelligence has been hard-wired into my being. I have lost count of the hours I have invested in nurturing ideas and ultimately turning them into reality.

The journey has been totally immersive and most importantly fun; from Lego, to Mecanno, to Airfix, to Hornby, and then at the age of 17, my automotive love affair began. Three decades of spannering has yielded an intoxicating back-catalogue of hand-crafted component cars any petrol-head would appreciate:

Westfield Vauxhall 16V
Westfield Seight
Ultima GTR
Cobra 427 replica
Raptor F85
Ultima RS - follow the build on my YouTube Channel V8Creative

And to top it all, 1.4+ million words have emerged from my laptop and found their way to print in the automotive press where I share my passion in minute detail. Today I write for TKC, the UK's leading publication in its field and I continue to be tagged as Nigel 'Detail' Dean due to my relentless attention to, you guessed it, detail.

So what next I asked myself? Well welcome to V8CREATIVE, the website and YouTube channel designed to share my projects; past, present, and future. I hope you find inspiration from my activities and try your hand at a few projects. After all, work, eat, TV, sleep, repeat, can get a bit boring after a while!
