Car-Tastrophes cover

Automakers are as prone to turn out clunkers as politicians are to lie. Their cars may be ugly, misconceived, badly built, diabolical to drive, ridiculously thirsty, or just plain unreliable. So which were the worst offenders of the past 20 years? In this light-hearted, somewhat irreverent look at the world of cars, journalists Honest John and George Fowler share their combined wealth of automotive experience to reveal what they consider to be the 80 worst car-tastrophes of the past two decades. Honest John wrote the motoring agony column at The Daily Telegraph for 20 years, and now runs his own website reviewing cars and answering questions, while George Fowler, also known as Motormouth, is Motoring Editor at The Daily Star. No-one is as qualified to dish out the dirt as these two. If your car is, or was, remotely good then you won't find it in this book. On the other hand, if it's here, don't expect any sympathy ...

this book should raise more smiles than your average seasonal TV special. Classic Car Weekly Both Honest John and George 'Motormouth' Fowler explain their rationale with a great deal of humour and their usual flair. Hagerty Classic Cars newsletter its content is amusing and is also beautifully laid out ... makes a good stocking-filler for the motoring person in your life. b-c-ing-u.com
