Justin Jacobs – Senior Motoring Journalist
Justin Jacobs has always had a deep-rooted passion for cars. His dream to have a career involving cars became his reality when in 2011 he joined a small motoring website called Drive 2.0 after studying Marketing Management. He was tasked with photographing cars as well as reporting on motoring related news. He eventually joined the Caxton family at Witbank News in 2012 where he provided weekly motoring content.

Justin is known as German Car Jacobs within the Autodealer team and does not deny the fact that he has a soft spot for German marques, however, he is mostly attracted to cars that have character, cars that make people feel special, car that makes you smile.
