The Red Car July 20, 2008
I read an article in Road & Track by Peter Egan about this childhood book that he just re-read, and decided that it was time for me to re-read it too. Lots of memories for many reasons. Fun easy reading.

How sports cars started in America June 21, 2008
This "Black Beauty for boys" is essential reading for anyone who wants to call themselves a "car guy". It is a simple novel about the sports car scene in the early 50's. From this period grew all the famous sports cars, including the Corvette & Cobra, and all the famous American road-racers.

I bought this book on Ebay after reading Motor Oil for the Car Guy's Soul by Kevin Clemens. I really didn't know what to expect. It was absolutely excellent. I have never read a more interesting book. Well-thought-out characters and setting, an excellent plot, and on top of it all a fire-engine red MG TC make this book quite a read. Why aren't there any books like this nowadays?
The Red Car- A boy and his MG- September 7, 2006

I bought this book as a paper back in 1957. Ordered it from the book club at school. I was 12 and the book captivated me. I am unable to locate that original- but it might be around somewhere. I am 61, and I purchased a 1st edition hardback on line. They are getting pricey. I have reread this book several times and it is a great book for a kid or an old guy. We even moved to Glenwood, where my son was born. I worked as a Pharmacy intern in a drug store there.(Wonder if it is the one in the book.) And I have a Z3 BMW roadster now. I tried to buy a
MG TF at sixteen, but my parents wouldn't let me. It was $650 at the time. I don't know if Bullet is Aspen (which I think it is- Or Basalt) There is no Bullet I know of. Great early teen or pre-teen book.

It has been 35 years since I read the book but I can vivdly remember many parts of it. For example the mechanic Frenchy left his tools dirty to keep others from walking off with them; the race through the mountains with the big Ford that could not stay with the MG in the curves and then his Dad getting caught up in the moment, telling him to speed up. Then later the Dad telling the boy not to mention the race to his mother and cautioning all of the other boys on how dangerous they had been. What a grand book to read.
