Mike Nicholson is a highly respected former rally co-driver who competed in UK and European rallies for over 35 years, reaching the very pinnacle of his sport. He partnered some of the most famous rally drivers of the time including Jimmy McRae, Tony Pond and Pentti Airikkala. In this book Mike takes the lid off the glamorous side of rallying as he recalls the highs and lows of his career from the 1970s through to his heydays winning the National Rally and British Open Rally Championships. Written with tongue firmly in cheek and peppered with wry observations, Listen To Me is sure to delight all rally enthusiasts who want to know what really goes on at the sharp end.
"Named after his exasperated plea from the infamous onboard footage of his RAC Rally effort with Derek Bell, Mike Nicholson's book delivers a wealth of anecdotes from the era when rallies were rallies and men were men. If you've got a bobble hat you'll enjoy this!!" AUTOSPORT MAGAZINE "It was in the Astra that an exasperated Nicholson uttered the phrase that would become the book's title when Derek Bell slid the car into a fence after ignoring a pace note. The brief row was picked up by the in-car cameras and ended up being broadcast on 'Auntie's Sporting Bloomers'. The book is littered with amusing insights into the highs and lows of the rally scene during some of its most iconic years and is a worthy addition to any motorsport fan's library." CLASSIC CAR BUYER
