Terrain Tamer has launched a brand-new video series, ‘Ask Allan After 90,’ celebrating the remarkable career of beloved Head Engineer and “Engine Whisperer,” Allan Gray.
Approaching his 92nd birthday, Allan began his apprenticeship in June 1948 at just 14 years old – before the first Holden was released in Australia.
Nearly eight decades later, he is still working three days a week with Terrain Tamer, bringing with him a lifetime of knowledge and hands-on experience that has outlived the rise and fall of the Holden era, and the evolution of the modern 4WD industry.
Each episode of Ask Allan After 90 features Allan answering a single question about his extraordinary career, sharing hard-earned wisdom, practical advice, and stories from an automotive life few can rival.
Allan’s career has included decades as a mechanic, business owner, and successful 4WD racer.
He ran his own workshop, Allan Gray Toyota Service, for 20 years before joining Terrain Tamer in the 1990s, though it wasn’t until his 70s – when many would be retiring – that Allan became a household name in the 4WD community, stepping in front of the camera for Terrain Tamer’s educational video content.
Alongside John “Roothy” Rooth, Allan appeared in technical rebuilds and how-to videos, breaking down complex mechanical issues into practical advice for home mechanics.
From this grew the Ask Allan competition, where 4WD owners submitted their toughest vehicle problems.
Each month, Allan would travel to one winner, personally diagnosing and repairing their vehicle, often over a friendly cup of tea.
Distributed nationally on DVD with 4WD Action magazine, the series quickly became a fan favourite.
Allan earned a reputation for his uncanny ability to diagnose obscure faults – sometimes by sound alone – and his unconventional yet deeply informed mechanical methods.
He has since starred in numerous Terrain Tamer series, including Junior Ask Allan, Ask Allan: The Project, The Apprentice, Masterclass, Meet Jillaroo Jess, Terrain Tamer Goes Mustering, and most recently The New Build, modifying a Special Edition 70 Series LandCruiser in preparation for what he jokingly calls his “retirement at 100.”
The Ask Allan After 90 series is a celebration of many years of automotive education, mechanical expertise, opinions, and memories from an unparalleled career.
