Ben Keed
Owner / Founder
Ben founded the V8 Daily Dump in November 2003 and has watched
the site grow into the informative V8 Supercar site it is today.
Ben owns a Computer Consultancy business in Sydney which is under
the V8 Daily Dump umbrella. In his spare time Ben enjoys Trial Bike
riding, watching V8 Supercar events and spending quality time with
family and friends. Ben admits he is a bit of a control freak and
most of his friends will tell you that. He values a high standard
of work and hopes the V8 Daily Dump showcases this.
Keith Thomson
Technical Director
Keith akas 'Brute' lives on the Gold Coast. He's a passionate V8
Supercar fan and an automotive writer. You won’t find his name
on any book, but 10,000 mechanics around Australia and New Zealand
read what he writes every day in working on your motor cars. Keith's
job has him dissecting all the latest electronic systems from manufacturers
all around the world and writing about these systems so your local
motor mechanic knows how to fix them when they go wrong. How did
Keith get involved with The V8 Daily Dump, well he was dribbling
on about something or other on a forum and Ben asked if he could
use it on The V8 Daily Dump and it’s gone on from there. Keith
does not profess to know all, but does try to be as un-biased and
informative as he can in the articles that he writes.
Mark Greenwood
Chief Engineer
Marky Mark lives on Sydney's north shore and whilst he spends his
week days programming website's, most of his spare time is spent
obsessing over motorsports and his big boys toys. If it goes fast,
Mark follows it! If you've got a question about a series other than
the Aussie V8's Mark is probably the guy to ask. Whilst Mark did
a few bits and pieces of the original V8 Daily Dump, the new site
programming is all his. A specialist in interfaces, database solutions
and a bit of a perfectionist, Mark too hopes you all love the new
V8 Daily Dump.

plethora of sports on offer. He loves his AFL, cricket and will

in particular are his biggest passion though. On Saturday mornings
in winter, Banksie can be seen playing footy for his local team.
Banksie loves to catch up with his mates, make sure his tomatoes
are growing well and spending time with family. When asked if he
would contribute articles, Banksie jumped at the chance.
