Drives A Bit Funny: A hilarious and heartfelt collection of car stories on life, laughs and lessons behind the wheel

Stephen Corby stumbled into writing about cars after being knocked off the motorcycle he’d been writing about by a mob of angry and malicious kangaroos. Or that’s what he says, anyway.

Back in the early 1990s, Stephen was working at The Canberra Times, writing about everything from politics to exciting Canberra night life, but for fun he wrote about motorcycles. After crashing a bike he’d borrowed, he made up a colourful series of excuses, which got the attention of the motoring editor, who went on to encourage him to write about cars instead. The rest, as they say, is history.

A journalist for over 35 years, Stephen has written on politics, sport, music, beer, tech, business and travel across print and online for publications including The Evening Standard, The Canberra Times, The Sunday Telegraph, Women’s Weekly, Men’s Health, The Australian and Gourmet Traveller. But largely he has written about motoring and previously edited both Top Gear Australia and Wheels magazine. For the past several years, he has written a high-profile column in The Weekend Australian Magazine which has garnered a big and fanatical following.
