Description

During his sixty years as a motoring journalist, Stuart Bladon test drove almost every car on the road.

Working for Autocar, and later as a freelance writer, he was granted access to some of the oddest vehicles off the road as well, including the three-wheeled Bond Minicar, in which he was very nearly killed.

The best part of any car test, however, was finding out how fast they would go.

In 1970, he set what was for a long time Autocar's fastest road test maximum speed, at 172mph.

Going back to the days when the only speed limit was the 30mph restriction in built-up areas, each chapter of this book brings a motoring story of travel, testing and adventure.

Since a fond aunt began teaching him to drive at the age of 7, Stuart Bladon has enjoyed a lifelong passion for cars.

This book recounts the many motors and the colourful escapades of a life spent very near - if not over - the speed limit.
