Mahbub Hussain

Lecturer at ULAB and intense car enthusiast, he currently works as Sub-Editor for Shift. He is also the only one in the team now with a car that is actually fast. It was mostly the reason he was hired so he could give the boss an occasional chance to redline. He has mad skills at drawing cars and when he is not driving or writing about cars, he is sitting quietly looking at cars. He formerly worked for Fast Lane, a monthly automotive publication.

2016-17 Toyota Avanza

We all secretly agree that MPVs are our life savers, carrying things that no cars can and going places where no cars dare tread.
