Liam Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 looking for maybe a driving techniques book, technical suspension book . You can get help for this now you know Piers Courage bio; James Hunt bio; not Jo Ramirez bio (nice guy but not a great read); All arms and elbows - Ireland; It beats working- Eion Young; Archie Scott - Brown bio; Mon Ami Mate (large format so perhaps not so good for packing but a great book) Anything by Lee Childs/Robert Harris (Pompeii is v.good as is Fatherland, Archangel takes some following/Gerald Seymour Have a nice one Quote
westy666 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Just get some wrap around mirrored sunglasses, sit back and enjoy the 'scenery' passing by on the beach. Beats any book if you ask me! Quote

JeffC Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Just get some wrap around mirrored sunglasses, sit back and enjoy the 'scenery' passing by on the beach. Beats any book if you ask me! agree but you need a book or newspaper to stick over your lap to hide your enthusiasm Quote
cast iron Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Theres a book mentioned in autosport recently called "Cheating" i think, its all about the NASCAR fiddles that have been found out and suspected. Quote
tankerman24 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Just finished "Only Here For The Beer" about Gerry Marshall one of this countrys best and funniest drivers great book highly recomended. and for something slightly different " The Rocket Boys" Its about some young lads in a mining town in America who start to build their own rockets, with a few mishaps on the way, this is one of the best/funniest books I have read, its a true story the author now works for NASA.

Karl Woolf Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Thanks for the suggestions, any more please, especially on the driving techniques and suspension design. Oh and by the way this is for poolside only, when at the beach I take the time to enjoy the view Ash the only thing i need to know in that haynes manual is where to find a lighter one, and I know someone with one of them Quote
