‘Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down.’ Dave Barry
‘Truth is beauty, beauty is truth. Which makes the new Subaru Impreza a whopping lie.’ Jeremy Clarkson
‘You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said “Parking fine”.’ Tommy Cooper
Calling all petrolheads, motor racing fanatics, Top Gear fans, boy racers and car geeks: here at last is a book of laughs especially for you. As jampacked as the M25 on a bank holiday weekend with bumper to bumper revved-up retorts and gear-crunching gags, it’s the ideal companion to life on the open road – just the thing to keep in the glove box for when the engine overheats!
Remember, there are only two types of pedestrians, the quick and the dead. As Murray Walker once said: you might not think that’s cricket, and it’s not, it’s motor racing.
