Download or read book The Land Speed Record written by David Tremayne and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 1991 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1898 certain men have sought to travel faster than their fellows. The land speed record is more than just a battle of distance against time, it is a human story, with the inevitable failures, tragedies and successes. Today more than ever, getting an advanced vehicle to Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, or the Black Rock Desert in Nevada is an expensive undertaking requiring a resourcefulness that defies the majority. None of the successful contenders has ever taken the record lightly, nor easily and this book traces man's pursuit of speed since the birth of the motor car and tells more about those who succeeded and those who did not. About the author David Tremayne is the Executive Editor and Grand Prix correspondent of Motoring News and Grand Prix correspondent for The Observer. He first interviewed Richard Noble about Project Thrust and covered the team's American land speed record attempts from 1981 to 1983, in the latter acting as the team's Public and Press Relations Manager
Download or read book BMW E30 3 Series Restoration Bible written by Brendan Purcell and published by Brooklands Books. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is amazing to think that time has passed by and that the second BMW "3 Series" has achieved such status that it warrants this special book on its 21st anniversary. Maybe it is due to the sheer longevity of its design, its ability to satisfy the keen driver or its iconic status - but, whatever it is, there is no doubt that the E30 is one car from the past that will stay with us into the future. It is a pending classic and prices for well kept models have started to escalate; furthermore, there is a core of well cared for cars out there requiring basic attention by their dedicated owners. As a result, there has never been a better time for a book of this sort. By focusing on the common faults which crop up repeatedly and by giving detailed, simple instructions regarding repairs, this book will be uniquely invaluable for owners who wish to try their hand at their own maintenance, especially those who may previously have been prevented from doing so by a lack of technical know-how or specific knowledge.

Book excerpt: The Land Speed Record is a fascinating story of human endeavour – of man and machine battling time to be the fastest. Since 1898 many have dreamed of being the fastest on earth, first with electric, then steam, then petrol, moving forward to the jet car, and into the present and future with rocket power. The glory years of the record are studded with iconic names such as Malcolm and Donald Campbell, Henry Segrave, John Cobb, George Eyston, and more recently Craig Breedlove and Richard Noble. The next race is on for 1,000mph with the latest British attempt by Bloodhound SSC. In this colourfully illustrated introduction, using many photographs from the Motoring Picture Library at Beaulieu, Malcolm Campbell's grandson tells of the brave drivers and powerful machines that have propelled themselves into the record books.
