The Red Car

Just curious... who amongst the hive read "The Red Car" by Don Stanford in their youth?

Peter Egan did, not that I'm implying that he's amongst the hive, though it would be super cool if he was.

I have it.

I'd like to get a copy one of these days. I remember reading it as a kid.I'm sure that it's at least partly responsible for my love of small, foreign cars.

Yep, I read it. Also the Henry Gregor Felson books, and Ken Purdy.

read it my youth and had forgoten about it till seeing this, would like to get a copy and see how it reads now any one know where a guy can get a copy

this mite explane my love of red sports cars

I've never read it, but it is talked about a lot amongst the T series MG crowd. Might borrow a copy some day, but I'm not willing to pay the $50 to $100 it takes to own one.

A significant part of my misspent life can be blamed on that little book.

Had a strong effect on my life too. Never got me hooked on english cars though.
There were other classics in the 60s for young car-nuts-to-be.
Jim Clark autobiography Carrol Shelby autobiography A series, forgot the names about some fictional european race car with revolutionary engineering, a young american driver and a scottish mechanic-who can help me out here?

Yup, I read it. A really good story. It was the very first book I ever ordered from a bookstore. I believe I had read the library copy and had to have my own. Probably cost me $1.25 or something.

I wonder what the kids are driving in Bullet, Colo., these days?

Don't forget the Black Tiger series

Or the Flying Wheels series.

looks like another book for my must read list.

My father bought it and I read it in 1956. I was 13 and certainly made a impression on me.

I'll have to ask my brother if the book is still around the house. I would like to read it again.
