Nadine Armstrong

Nadine Armstrong has an abiding love of cars, motorbikes and adrenalin-based activities that runs line-ball with her unwavering devotion to French champagne and pommes frites. She is a freelance writer from Melbourne who is passionate about cars and interesting humans – when the two combine, even better. Nadine is contributing Consumer Editor at carsales.com.au, a member of the Women’s World Car of the Year jury, sits on the VACC’s Women in Automotive Steering Committee and volunteers her time to Motorsport Australia’s Dare to be Different – Girls on Track program. Her love of motoring spans both two and four wheels, as riding dirt bikes through the Wombat State Forest in Melbourne’s west from a young age paved the way for a Suzuki RGV and a Harley-Davidson later in life. Tiring of 'helmet hair', cars soon took pride of place in her garage. When she’s not behind the wheel of a test car, Nadine drives a 1977 Porsche 911 Carrera.
