Okay, here is a quickie... 144 pages, a lot more color than book #1, all new photos! More about the guys and clubs, with more personal photos of working on their cars, and club house pics. Haven't had a chance to read much, but all good. Some of these old photos will blow you away... many I've never seen before! Killer all the way.

Thanks Deano! Actually, here and now, I will admit to there being ONE publishing error in the book: for some reason, the printers chopped two lines off the end of one of the chapters! God bless them... Doesn't affect anything other than you'll wonder why it finished mid-sentence! Nothing to do with me – seems you can't get the staff these days!  Roll Eyes

But thanks again, Deano. Hearing that from you makes all the months of work worth it.  Smiley

Thanks Dean! I'm really excited and anticipating great things. Version 1 is still a fave of mine in my stack of old faithfuls.
Sounds good Keith, see you in a few weeks (with your heads).

I'm going to preorder on Amazon.com so I don't have to worry about forgetting about it. Grin  Exactly the kind of book I enjoy having around to read over and over and over and... well, you get the idea.

Yes, that was a 'working cover' that had to be sent out to the book trade very early on to get it listed in catalogues. There is no book with that cover, so don't worry!
