A must-read look behind the scenes for the car enthusiast.

On 1997-08-12, this book came in, I had dinner and when I put out the light it was beyond 1 a.m. Hadn't done that in a while - finished it all. "I didn't know that!" kept me reading. Amazing under-cover stories complete with references. Another piece in the puzzle why we still pollute the planet with our chemical engines. Read this again every 5 years (I hope it will be updated).
