Format:Hardcover
I blush to admit that I picked up a copy of this book in a high street store while killing time and read the piece on the Porsche 962. That was enough, and I ordered my copy from Amazon, partly to save money, but also because the store copy was a bit tatty, having been picked up by loads of oiks like me. What grabbed me was that the text conveyed some feeling about what the car was like to drive, a bit more thoughtfully than 'THIS IS EPIC!!!'. The rest of the book lives up to that promise, so thoroughly recommended.

You don't have to be a Pink Floyd fan to love this book, but it does help. You need to be a car fan though. These cars and stories are unbelievable and all in the hands of one person. Great reading.
