Publisher's Synopsis
Born in Shropshire soon after the end of the First World War, venerable motoring writer W de Forte has driven everything from his grandfather's first Daimler, to modern-day supercars - ridden everything from vertiginous Victorian penny farthings, to high velocity twenty-first century superbikes - travelled everywhere from the permafrost of the Arctic Circle to the baking sands of the Baja Peninsula - and met everyone from Tazio Nuvolari to Valentino Rossi. W de Forte enjoyed an eventful career as a top-level journalist, spanning 75 years, during which time he tested many thousands of cars and reported on countless automotive events around the world.
