A friend of mine misguidedly gave me this book. I thought it to be the biggest load of knob waving tosh ever, but it has come in handy propping up a wobbly wardrobe.

Have to disagree. It's well written by an enthusiast for enthusiasts. And it raises funds for a great cause.

No need, Mike is a true motoring enthusiast, a tireless fundraiser (reason for the book/s) and a down to earth chap, he has organized many events, some I have attended.

There is a chapter in the book about the birth of Trackdays in the late 80s
There is also a chapter on my late brother's cars which we shared on Trackdays on British circuits

I've dropped a few hints to family members that I may like the twin pack. Fingers crossed.

‘LET THEM STARE...AGAIN !’

Pre-order now for Christmas !

In April last year ‘Let them stare !’ was launched at The Bull, Blackmore End in Essex. Book sales over the following 12 months were quite amazing. The first run was 1000 followed by a 500 reprint. On the back cover of the new book you can read about the amazing amount you have all helped raise for three charities: Little Havens Children’s Hospice, Save our Maddie appeal and the Addenbrookes Charitable Trust (ACT) in Cambridge.

This second book will have a 1100 copy print-run only.

Everything being equal those of you that bought first time around will receive an email about the new book today
All will be numbered & signed. If messages are needed mention it on the order.
Orders received will be dispatched week beginning December 4th.

Once costs have been recouped the money will go to charity



STOP PRESS :BOOKS HAVE ARRIVED!

Two pallets have landed tonight..1100 books ready to sell for
our fundraising mission for Little Havens.
As in the past Bailey is on guard. Sadly his fellow compatriot
who helped him oversee Book 1, Hazza the rabbit, is now sadly deceased.
I have around 300 orders which will dispatched NEXT WEEK..not December 4 as previously mentioned.

ALSO...SICL Ltd in Leeds have again paid £1000 for the first 10 as they did with Book 1. Thank you so much Ash & Shirley !
Gregor Fisken Fine Automobiles have put £500 in the pot too !

The easy bit is now complete so now PLEASE BUY !!
