Description
Brian Cunningham's second collection of memories from his time as a car mechanic in the 1970s and 80s is a joyous revisiting of what he missed first time round. When the Wheels Come Off covers the cars fixed and some broken, fads and crazes, crashes and scrapes, near misses, evolutionary dead-ends in technology, underhanded practices, and more. This book offers a unique glimpse into the world of car repair during this period, with stories of tools used, cars 'stolen', and visits to scrapyards. With its colourful and humorous tone, When the Wheels Come Off is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of motoring or the experiences of those who worked on the roads. With many letters from appreciative readers reminding him of plenty more escapades, Cunningham has returned to the workshop with a wealth of new stories to share.
