Ranked Number 1<br />
in the UK & Ireland<br />
on the League of True<br />
Mechanics and live<br />
on BBC Radio 2<br />
Dear Editor.<br />
READERSLETTER<br />
I’m known professionally as ‘Edd Hunt the Car Consultant’ I am writing to you<br />
because I am a regular reader of your magazine which I have to say is amazing<br />
that it gets delivered to me, what a fantastic service!<br />
I originally trained as a mechanic by doing my apprenticeship with<br />
Volkswagen and now just specialise in the very complicated jobs and garages<br />
call me in to fix problem jobs when they get stuck, for this I mostly travel all<br />
around the UK but sometimes work on an international level too and last year<br />
alone I was called out to fix problems on cars in Milan Italy, Geneva Switzerland<br />
and Dublin Ireland as well as all across the UK from Cornwall to Newcastle,<br />
Wales and every where in between.<br />
I first entered the National competition, DENSO League of True Mechanics<br />
in 2021 where I placed first and earned the title of being ranked Number 1 in<br />
the UK & Ireland on the league of true mechanics, I defended my title in 2022<br />
and last year in 2023 I won a third time achieving the hat trick so I have now<br />
decided to retire from the competition un-defeated and let someone else<br />
have a go!<br />
Recently, I had the tremendous honour of being invited into the BBC<br />
Studios to be a guest live on OJ Borg’s BBC Radio 2 show live on air where<br />
it was officially announced that I was the winner of the 2023 league of<br />
true mechanics and retained my title for a third year and will as a result be<br />
retiring. I had such a great time with the presenter OJ and he invited me to<br />
hang around and be a part of the show, the host of the quiz called in sick last<br />
minute so I stepped in and hosted Midnight Mastermind with him then chipped<br />
in a few times throughout the three hour show. It’s such a big achievement<br />
for me to win three times, be ranked number 1 in the UK and get to go on<br />
a national BBC Radio 2 programme to have it announced it might make an<br />
interesting story for the magazine, particularly as I am a regular reader!<br />
Kind regards<br />
Edd Hunt<br />
