Tales from the Toolbox: A Collection of Behind-the-Scenes Tales from Grand Prix Mechanics
"A UNIQUE insight into the pitlanes of Formula One ... With unprecedented everyday access so close to famous drivers and fiery bosses, this recalls some brilliant tales - good and bad - from those who were at the sharp end." -Auto Express"This is one of those books you can dip into anywhere â?¿ in its plainly-told tales you feel a vibe and a zeitgeist that many weighty histories don't give and which, because of ever higher technologies and regulations, is probably gone for ever." â?? Classic Cars   "A brilliant read, this is a book that you'll keep dipping into." â??Club Lotus News"The photos, many of which come from the mechanics' personal collections, are not only priceless, but properly capture the moments and tales told by the crew members. This book is a must for all racing fans" â??autoracinghistory.com"It's a cracker: and 40% of all royalties go to the Grand Prix Mechanic's Charitable Trust. A softback bargain. Read it." â??Southern Car Club"Few books have given us as much enjoyment in recent months as this compilation of tales from the less than glamorous side of motor sport. Buy it!" â?? Octane "Chapter themes in this enjoyable paperback range from travel to job risks, with memories of key spanner-men. Pull-out boxes make it easy to dip into ..." â??Classic & Sports Car"Buy this immensely entertaining book and help out a very worthy cause in the process." â??Vintage Racecar"A fascinating insight into a part of the world of motor racing that is usually hidden behind garage doors." â??The Marshal"This is the most absorbing motorsport 'inside story' book to be published in a long time." â??Speed Scene"This small format book packs so much into its 172 pages. It's a real winner." â??New Zealand Classic Car
