Thanks for the kind words guys, I hope everyone who picks up a copy enjoys it. And a special thanks to you Tim for the great looking photos, on pages 141 and 150.

Very good stories. Recommended. But, I was disappointed at the printer's multi typo errors.

I ordered mine but it is back ordered. I should get it by the 10th of this month. Cant wait.

Agreed, the few type errors are disappointing but I think they are nearly impossible to avoid.
Those who have picked up the book, or are going to (thanks X-TECH MAN), here are a few errors I came across and the corrections;
1- pg 55 caption notes Exton where as the photo notes Berwyn. Don't ask what I was thinking but my mistake.
2- pg 101. Bill picked up a "body in white", not a white car. Editors error.
3- pg 165. Photo notes an 8 barrel, technically it has 8 barrels but the carb was created so that only 6 are operatioanable. Editors error.
Just the same, as a fan first, it's a pleasure to read and was a joy to do.
