[Andyrew]

Alright, I dont think this has been done, and im sure some of you guys have some good light and heavy reading car books out there that you love reading over and over.. What is your favorate car book? No the history of Porsche doesnt count, No it cant have pictures in it, The secret to solo racing is not what I mean. I'll put mine down.

The Car (ironic..)
By Gary Paulsen

Bout a kid who's parents separate, and his dad hates him, but his dad got a kit car as part of a trade but never built it. so the kid builds this car and then goes out to explore the country, pretty cool book.


What about you???

i'm doing a lot of 911 research so that's the centerpiece of what's currently relevant. however, if i had to pick only one "car book" it'd be without question Mark Donohue's "The Unfair Advantage."

for all-round technical basis, "Race Car Engineering and Dynamics" by Paul van Valkenburgh, the guy who ghost-wrote Donohue's book, and - of course - everything written by Carroll Smith taken together as a "body of work" on how to design, build, and prepare a racing car.

although i don't take it off the shelf very often, one of my most prized books is "100 Years of Porsche - mirrored in contemporary history" countersigned by Dr Porsche.
