Reading this Enzo Ferrari bio now. It’s a nice book. Could be a best car book.
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/2...dal-monte.html So far the greatest car book I’ve read... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01K1...BFL&ref=plSrch The softback version is what I have / guess out of print. Last edited by overcoil; 05-19-2018 at 07:33 AM.. |

A few:
- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - Robert Pirsig (In my Top 10 of any book) - Cannonball! - Brock Yates - Porsche: Origin of the Species - Karl Ludvigsen - Drive On! A Social History of the Motorcar - L.J. Setright (I think) - Giorgetto Giugiaro: The Genius of Design (forget the author) And one I'm looking forward to reading after I get through a couple of others: - The Art of Racing in the Rain - Garth Stein

I do have three of the other four, however. I lent my copy of Drive On! to someone a number of years ago; never got it back ...
