Thoughts About Driving Car Modification And Life

Author Julian Edgar spent over a decade writing new car tests and, very unusually for a motoring journalist, also modifying his own cars and writing about those modifications. Here are his thoughts on topics as diverse as whether a dyno is a good place to develop car modifications, the joys of left-foot braking, whether people who choose to buy thirsty cars should then complain about the price of fuel, and what it's like when the throttle jams fully open. Over 50 topics are covered - from a scathing criticism of those who choose to waste away their lives, to how it's impossible to have a favourite car maker, from science not being a social panacea, to optimising turbo boost control for power and economy. Every page is provocative, thought-provoking, challenging and interesting!
