May on Motors

order quantity

NZ$ 24.99 each

Paperback

Author: James May

Published by: Virgin Publishing

In Stock: 3

Best known as the third presenter in the unholy trinity that is Clarkson, Hammond and May on Top Gear, James has lived, breathed and dreamt about cars his entire life. He has written about them over several years in a large number of periodicals. His pieces have appeared in "Car Magazine", "The Scotsman", "Country Life" and the "Daily Express", as well as his regular columns in "Top Gear" magazine and the "Daily Telegraph". 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 ... more

Driven To Distraction

Paperback

Author: Jeremy Clarkson

Published by: Michael Joseph

In Stock: 2

Brace yourself, Clarkson's back. And he'd like to tell you what he thinks about some of the most awe-inspiring, earth-shatteringly fast and jaw-droppingly gorgeous cars in the world (alongside a few irredeemable disasters ...).
Or he would, if there weren't so many things competing for his attention first. So much to get off his chest.
The world according to Clarkson is a perplexing place, filled with thorny subjects like: The prospect of having Terry Wogan as president; Why you'll never see a woman driving a Lexus; The unforeseen consequences of inadequate birth control; Why everyone should spend a weekend with a digger.

Fearless, independent, surprising and laugh-out-loud funny, Driven to Distraction is full-throttle Clarkson at his best; a unique look at the joys, absurdities and frustrations of modern life. With wheels. Buckle up, get comfortable, and hold on tight. There's no one who writes about cars like Jeremy ... more

Mini Down Under traces the history of one of New Zealand's - and the world's - best-loved cars.

Author: Rhys Jones

Published by: HarperCollins New Zealand

The first of two volumes celebrating New Zealand's champions on two wheels. More World Championships have been won by Kiwi motorcyclists than by competitors in any other sport in this country, with nine riders winning 35 World Championships. Others have come breathtakingly close, with four riders second in Moto GP, and victories in the Isle of Man, still the world's most demanding road race. Today young Kiwi riders are on the brink of greatness, in both on and off road events. Hugh Anderson, Graeme Crosby, Ivan Mauger, Ben Townley, Josh Coppins and Aaron Slight all enjoy international respect, fiercely competitive men who've driven themselves to the level of excellence of Kiwi heroes on two wheels. They've had it tough, because of our remoteness, having to drive harder, and take more risks to achieve podium finishes. It's cost them all dearly.

Author: Tony Thacker

Published by: Motorbooks International

In 1931, Henry Ford famously announced that his company would produce an eight-cylinder car, if only because its competitors were building fours and sixes. The result, introduced in 1932, was Ford Motor Company’s first V8-powered car. The “Deuce” was a design and technological milestone that would become the quintessential hot rod platform.

Arriving just in time for the Deuce’s 75th anniversary, this is the story of that ’32 Ford. A complete authoritative and illustrated history published with the Ford Company’s cooperation, this book looks at every facet of the Deuce’s story: factors leading to its design, how it was manufactured and sold, the development of the now-legendary flathead engine, and motorsport exploits around the globe. And, of course, there are the hot rods: the 75 most influential ’32-based hot rods as chosen by a who’s who of the hot rod community. From the pacesetting Doane Spence roadster to Chili Catallo’s Lil’ ... more
