Download or read book May on Motors written by James May and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known as the third presenter in the unholy trinity that is Clarkson, Hammond and May on Top Gear, James May has lived, breathed and dreamt about cars his entire life. There is something about cars that stirs up intense feelings in people - how it makes them look to the outside world, how it makes them feel about themselves, how it looks to their girlfriends or their mates, or their neighbours. These feelings are humorously described in May on Motors, as James takes us on the road and looks at the cars that have shaped him, his world and the ordinary people of Britain. In May on Motors, James has brought together his most controversial and amusing pieces to make a brilliant collection that will amuse and inspire all car enthusiasts.
Download or read book Full Throttle written by Ivan Berg and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Octane Adventure Stories by Top Gear magazine's Data Dad Ivan Berg. Three stories from the golden age of Motor Sport, the 1950s and 1960s. Full Throttle - Wonder mechanic Charlie tunes a vintage Bentley for his pal Pete and opens the door to motor racing adventure... Scorpion - The Story of a Racing Car - Against all odds, engineers Peter Russell and his business partner David Wilmer design and build a world-beating Formula One racing car... To Monte For A Million - A tale of a mischievous old uncle, an extraordinary will, a million pounds, two playboy nephews, two Morris Mini-Coopers - and the thrilling Monte Carlo Rally... These three stories were originally written and published as weekly serials in 1960 and 1961 in a comic-style magazine for boys called TV EXPRESS. I kept copies in an old cardboard suitcase that lived for 50 years in a dusty cupboard under the stairs. With three grandchildren, all boys, all of the ages of my long-ago readers, I thought it would be fun to see if the stories still had an appeal. They did. So here they are.

Download or read book Top Gear Daft Cars written by Matt Master and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From flying cars to amphibious vehicles, solar-powered saloons to rockets on wheels, these are over 50 of the most wacky cars ever devised. Fancy a car that drives sideways? Try the Jeep Hurricane. Or maybe a car in which the windows change colour according to your mood for a more serene and health-giving driving experience? That'll be the Toyota RiN. And if you like a flutter, you'll need the Chrysler Town and Country Black Jack, which contains a mini onboard casino. Some concept cars are designed to demonstrate alternative materials and energy sources, or to showcase the gadgets of the future, or even cater for specific lifestyles or groups of people. Many don't even get beyond the prototype stage - for reasons of cost or practicality, or, in the case of the nuclear-powered Ford Nucleon of 1958, the danger of causing a small atomic explosion. Featuring everything from practical experiments such as the hatchback fire engine, and ideas that have managed to make it into production, to stunning yet impractical supercar concepts, this book both celebrates and cringes at some of motoring's most daft - and even idiotic - ideas.
Download or read book Top Gear Ambitious but Rubbish written by and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ambitious but Rubbish reveals the off-camera secrets behind some of Top Gear’s most memorable creations. From the challenge of turning a Reliant Robin into a rocket and the genesis of the Hammerhead-i Eagle Thrust electric car to the complexities of building a caravan airship and the inspiration for destruction-testing a Toyota Hilux, this book is packed with the previously untold stories behind dozens of classic TV moments. Top Gear has never shied away from trying to answer questions no one has even thought to ask. Questions like ‘Can you make a convertible people carrier?’, ‘Can you cross the Channel in a pick-up?’ and ‘Can you turn a combine harvester into a snow plough?’. Ambitious but Rubbish reveals how those insane ideas came about with remarkable tales of ingenious invention and idiotic engineering. This book is essential reading for any Top Gear fan and a terrific insight into the creation of the world’s biggest car show. It’s also a terrifying window into the minds of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Don’t say you weren’t warned about that last one.
