General Media - Radio, Television, Podcast, and Blog
Interviews, Presentations, and Contributions
Over the years I’ve been involved in a number of projects across a number of media platforms. This includes collaborating and presenting on television shows, interviews on prime-time news programs, regular radio interviews on commercial radio, contributions to motoring Podcasts and Blogs, and more!
An interview with V8 Supercar driver Fabian Coulthard
One very memorable experience was being on the ground with the ‘Mothball’ XA Falcon GT, which was discovered landlocked in a suburban garage in Melbourne, VIC.
This discovery is still talked about today amongst enthusiasts, with a very memorable crane-lift rescue above the houses in the street!
Below are the clips from the major TV networks that covered the story, it was a leading story across all three major networks!
Mothball went VIRAL!
Currently I have a regular radio spot with ABC Radio in Perth, via their afternoon Drive program hosted by Andrew Collins, as part of their ‘Ask an Expert’ segment, which is a popular segment that listeners call in and discuss their cars, and I help value and appraise them over the phone. Here’s a couple of ABC Radio broadcast examples for you to listen to:

In the past I have also been interviewed on 3AW Radio in Mebourne by presenter Tom Elliott who hosted the afternoon Drive program.
Listen to one of my interviews here, discussing the discovery and recovery of Mothball - the XA Falcon GT with Tom Elliott on 3AW Drive.
I’ve also been able to liase and contribute to the “Rogue Bogues” Car Chat podcast, hosted by Andrew Bogut and Justin Ellis, with regards to auction activity and the state of the market, as well as reporting some big transactions that have happened in the classic car world.
Motoring blogs have grown in popularity over the years, with huge followings both via social media as well as their main websites, full of incredible and interesting stories and photos from all over the world. For a couple of years, I was a contributor to CarsGuide’s popular Oversteer Blog. You can check out my work via this link: https://www.carsguide.com.au/authors/aaron-lofts
You’ll find more than fifty stories here, so you’d best make a coffee and get comfortable!
